Other people were on other boats.

and big crowd shouting. the fotilla

Strimback was mayor then, and A. j.
Roosevelt was here first.
How He Worried a Railroad.
On the occasion of his first visit
to Keokuk, he came in over the Rock
Island. with Conductor Riley. of Keo-
kuk, in charge of the presidential
train. He went from here to ST.
Louis over the Burlington, and How
car attached to the train.
Roosevelt seemed stimulated by the
crowd at Rand park, and heightened
his speech considerably. The news
paper men following him with their
interpolating whole long paragraphs,
and strengthening the language of
other portions of the address. The
entire railroad between Keokuk and
st. Louis had all it's switch points
spiked down and guarded. and dis
patchers were shunting all other
trains into sidings and passing tracks
an hour before the presidential train

fixed to the odd minute, and was very
important to the railroad men.
But Roosevelt kept on talking at
Rand park, mile and a half from
the union station. Howard Elliott
frantically ,signalled the president
several times and once told him soto
voce that he was missing his train,
but the president only grinned at the
general manager and kept on. The
train left twelve minutes late, but
Roosevelt was happy.
Signed keokuk Water-power Bill.
President Roosevelt signed the bill
giving permission for the building Of
the Keokuk water-power wrich was a
contract involving the building of the
great lock and dry dock here by the
company entirely at its own expense
and their presentation to the United
States automatically on completion.
Competent opinion is, that Uncle Sam
got the best of the bargain.
There has not been another water
power bill signed since that one In
1905. Roosevelt vetoed lot Of
them, and Wilson has never been
able to get congress to pass the gen.
eral water-power act which every
body else, the president included, con-
siders vital need to the nation.
Both presidents agreed that not
special acts. but general bill Is the
thing. and the special act for Keokuk
got under the wire by about week
or ten days.
Flags at Half Mast.
Mayor Lotion this morning issued
a proclamation placing Keokuk flags
at half mast until after the funeral
of ex-President Roosevelt.
The flag on the government build
ing went to half mast for an ex-presi-
dent of the United States.
The flag on the big power house
was lowered to half staff as soon
as General Superintendent Sears was
informed of the death of Roosevelt.
Expressions Of regret at the pass
ing of Theodore Roosevelt were gen.
eral. and all men In the army uni
form seemed specially grieved at the
news which was bulletined by The

AMERICANS ABROAD REFUTE VANDERBILT.

The recent sensational speech made by Frank Wander

said that Europe bankrupt the verge of

American financial experts in Europe say that Mr.
Vanderps picture of conditions abroad is too pessi-

bassador England say that they already definite
signs of return to normal conditions The general
food shortage predicted by Vanderp by no
imminent, according to the experts and Mr. Hoover is
actually preparing statement to refute this part of
Mr. Vanderlps speech Mr.. Hoover says that produc
ing countries like North and South America extend su
cient credit there will be enough food go around
l. There is an agreement among Americans abroad with
MIR. vanderlip's contention that America must grant
Europe sufficient credit they deny that it is an
insolvent Europe with which America will have deal
The problem the experts see IT, IS triple one; to
supply working capital to Germany to finance Poland
and other nations extend credit the old nations
OF western Europe
On point the American experts in Europe agreed;
namely, that government credits the Allied nations
shall 1t is the desire Of the treasury officials
and experts alike that from private credits shall
take the place government credits as rapidly posi-
be This policy should be followed except
in the of the new small nations such as Poland

private capital could not be expected to flow quickly
enough to their pressing needs 1t is gratifying

ANOTHER RIVER BRIDGE.

The Board of commissioners of Sumter county could
do no more popular thng-in the estimation of the peo
pie of the southeast section Of the county any rate
than to take the initiative in attempting to
bridge the Flint river the Americus-Leslie
Cordele highway. Much as the Sumter-Dooly bridge
was needed and valuable it s. many people believe
and with apparent good reason, that bridge Flint
side would be used vastly than that the Vienna
road. l..Ill.
That the construction of such a bridge would prove
popular also in Crisp county indicated by Cordee

bridge which was set on foot here last Monday:
