Mr.. Paul's death was caused by
cancer. Several months ago he I'M
derwent an operation at the Mayo
clinic at Rochester, Minnesota, and
for time seemed to be making
satisfactory progress. Later his con-
dition became unsatisfactory and he
returned to Rochester for radium
treatment. Since his return four
weeks ago he has gradually grown
weaker His case has puzzled the
physicians for the operation was con-
sidered successful at the time. APP
parenlly the reaction from the later
treatment was the immediate cause
of his death.
He was married to Miss Mary E.
Tigue on Dec Z, 1888, in this city.
Two sons, Thomas Stevens Paul and
Irwin Stevens Paul, died during chill
hood. Another son, Edwin Allen Paul,
lives at Des Moines.
The burial will be at Oakland
cemetery in the Paul family lot and
will be private. A request is made
that no flowers be sent. Rev. DR..
w. S. D. Lamont of st. Johns Epis-
copal church, will off1ciate.

SITUATION
NOW ACUTE
Third Day Of New England Telephone
Strike Without Any Prospect
of an Immediate
Settlement.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
BOSTON, April 17.-With the New
England telephone strike in it's third
day without any prospect of an imme-
date settlement, and other unions of
the telephone workers joining the
strikers, the situation today became
acute.
Assistant Postmaster General John
|C. Rooms was expected here from
Washington to attempt a settlement.
1t was stated at union headquarters
that strike leaders would be willing
TO enter conference with Rooms and
heads of the telephone company pro-
yided that Rooms has authority to
make settlement without resorting
to "red tape"
With approximately 10000 opera
tors, cable splicers and inside work
ers already on strike, the forces out
were expected to reach total OF
20 900 today as a result of an ulti-
matum served on General Manager
Driver that men in other departments
of the company would walk out this
morning.

RAISED MANY
ASSESSMENTS
keokuk City Board Of Equalization
Increases the Valuation of
Eighty Pieces OF Real
Estate.

The city council sitting as board
of equalization raised the assessment
valuation on about eighty pieces Of
keo kuk real estate.
The property belongs to fourteen
owners, the longest list being in the
name of Jennie l.. Brooke, Of Chi
cago. The board meets again April
81, to hear the owners scold and
argue against the raises placed on
them and declare that even the as
sessment in the first instance was
too high.
The comomn routine method is to
offer to sell the property to the city
for less than the as
sessment, and if Lotion, Hickey and
Hemmy had plenty of capital they
could pick up some big bargains in
Keokuk residence property and
vacant lots every spring. But they
lack the large capital, they say.
