TRENTON, Feb. $50 that the
states fallen heroes in the great
world war may have a memorial in
the form Of an assembly hall on state
grounds adjoining the capitol here,
New Jerseys drive to raise @ quarter
of a million dollars for the construc-
ton of this substantial mark of re-
spect began today, when a corps OF
volunteer workers among the EN-
ployeS of the state house mailed in
dividual letters to 1900 school
teachers OF the state and to state and
county officials and chambers of
commerce, banks and trust compa-
MES, and other institutions.
1t is planned to carry on q short,
snappy campaign of the type found
successful in raising war funds for
various purposes, as each individual
addressed Is urged to send the collec-
ton or donation direct to State Treas
urer William T. Read, at the state
house here, he having been designat-
ed as treasurer of the memorial fund,
on or before February %, Washing
tons Birthday.
The campaign is statewide and
~stupendous, involving the posting
during the first three days of Febru-
airy of nearly 10000 letters. 1t is
confidently expected that the results
will be more than gratifying, as re-
ports reaching state officials from all
sections of the state indicate that the
Assembly Hall Memorial Idea has an
unusually strong appeal because of
the need of such a structure at the
state capitol for public meetings and
the fact that the architectural plans
call for q separate section in the
building to be devoted exclusively to
the war exhibits and honor roll of
each of the twenty-one counties in
the commonwealth.

MURDER AK OF
WAYLAND WELL
It 10 Found In the Basement Of the
Court House at kahoka Many
Years After Cause
Celebre.

| Recently Deputy Sheriff George
Drew found in the basement of the
Kahoka court house an ak with a
hooppole handle which excited his
curiosity. 1t turned out to be the
ak of the Wayland well murder of
twenty years ago.
| That Wayland we'll murder was
one of the biggest mysteries for a
time and altogether one of the most
remarkable cases in the history of
crime. Otto Remling was finally sent
| to- the penitentiary for ten years for
the murder and was pardoned after
serving Ave years. The evidence
against him lacked much Of being as
conclusive as confession.
A young yoman's body was found
| In a we'll at school house or church
near the home of Rev. George Beard,
down toward the Fox river, by some
children. She was first identified by
parents as girl who had run away
| from home up north with wagon
tramp. The description tailed in
every minute detail, including de-
formed bones in one foot-but that
girl turned up very much alive later.
The ak in the court house, and
found near the scene Of the murder,
was identified as one seen in Rem
lling's wagon before the homicide,
when the woman was with him. and
this was, the crux of his conviction.
The ak had and still has blood and
hair on it.
| Nothing else was talked about for
long time, while the murder Of the
woman in the Wayland well was
uppermost in the minds Of Clark
| county people and in Keokuk.

When the prisoner was brought

Frank M. Ballinger was appointed

The prisoner was ordered to stand

boy. He did not know how long he
had been there, but thought that II

On further questioning he insisted
that he had never been in the Mis-

sible that the Missouri officials may
have been mistaken about the iden
tity of Allen. However, it is of nc
great concern, for he is given the
maximum penalty and proof of for
mer conviction would not add to the
sentence against him.
Likes Anamosa Better.
His attorney entered the request
before sentence was passed that the
court send the prisoner to Anamosa
stating that he felt that there was a
better opportunity for reformation
there than at the penitentiary al
Fort Madison.
County Attorney McManus In
answer to the request stated that the
circumstances under which the crime
was committed called for the maxi
mum penalty and demanded that ne
be sent to the penitentiary.
All familiar with court procedure
consider it remarkably good work by
the office of the county attorney In
capturing and securing the convic
ton of the criminal in such short
time.
The whole procedure yesterday
afternoon occupied about twenty
minutes. ~

HOW kEOKUK GAN
GET On THE RIVER
Only Ono Way to be Part OF Call
for Renewed Traffic on MlssIs-
slppi and That Is Terminal
Docks.
MATTER Is DISCUSSED
St. Paul City Traffic Manager Writes
to the Waterways Journal Some
thing Of Peculiar Interest
Here.

When the Keokuk dam was built,
lit was found that It would cost as
much to load cement On barges at
Hannibal and unload the cement
from the barges into the water power
plant at Keokuk as the railroad
asked for taking the cement in the
Ilasco plant, hauling 1t to Keokuk,
and delivering it in the warehouse
in the works here.
| But only this year, apparently, did
the men boosting for Mississippi
river traffic to be revived realize
that not tonnage nor barges, but ter
minal power docks with travelling
icranes propelled by electricity are
the key to the whole problem, and
that with proper docks at each city,
j the barges and tonnage would come
by economic law-as they could not
come as long as roustabouts loaded
and unloaded boats by muscle power
far from any railroad tracks.
J. H.. Beck, traffic manager Of the
| st. Paul Association of Public end
Business Affairs, writes the Water
ways Journal long communication
! in which he talks as follows:
What Government Demands.
The channel Is being made and
the government is building many
steel barges, but that is only pre-
pairing for the real thing, he says,
and continues:
1.-THE government, however, de-
isires to see some evidence on the
part of the cities upon the upper
Mississippi of an interest in, and
preparation for, the use of the river,
when the six-foot channel is com
pletew. The first step in that direc-
ton Is the construction of modern
docks equipped with proper mechan-
lical devices for loading and unload
ling of bulk and package freight
''Unuestionably the time has come
when every city upon the river,
which desires to benefit by river
transportation, must take up seri-
ously the construction of adequate
terminals These must be provided
and they should be provided at
once. Failure of municipalities to
provide these facilities, is construed
las Indifference. or want of confidence
lin river navigation. If the people to
be benefited by the development of
the river are Indifferent, why should
the government continue to spend
money on improvements? The NUM-
Icipalities are not Indifferent and they
must demonstrate that they are not.
| ut has been suggested that the
upper river cities-the cities north
lof St. Louis-hold a water terminal
conferences very informal get-to-
gether conference. to discuss ter
minals only.
| Probably we could secure experts
who would bring to such confer.
ence plans for construction of locks,
adaptable to different requirements !;
| plans for mechanical handling de-
vices, ETC., and explain them. From
such conference much could be
Learned by municipal officials. Ter
minals is the all-important question
| before the river cities just now.
Why not take hold of 1t earnestly
and at once?"
