IIDLEDELL WINS
FEATURE RACE
Easily Trims Classy Field in
Walden Handicap at
Pimlico.
Ry HIGHWAY.

Captain AIcock, one which sur
prised racing fans at Empire and
Aqueduct by his good form, found
himself good enough to defeat Peter
Piper. Panoply and Motor Cop at
Pimlico yesterday afternoon and
pay those who speculated on his
chances the succulent odds OF Is
to !.
Motor Cop was unable to carry
the heavy impost of 1875 pounds and
he ran out of the money. Peter
Piper held on to get the place with
Panoply coming in for the smallest
portion of the purse.
Idle Dell, a filly which has run
two impressive races in Maryland
this fall, was in front the entire
route in the Walden Handicap, with
$4,000 added. winning in a drive
from Harry Payne Whitney's
Broomspun and Comdr. J. X. L.
Ross Baby Grand. When the bar
rier was released Idle Dell went
right to the front, pursued by Baby
Grand and By Jimminy in the order
named. but By Jimminy tired. while
Baby Grand was unable to with
stand the determined rush OF
Broomspun, one which was coming
great guns at the end.
Verify, a filly which is a notorious
repeater when she is in good form,
won the sixth race and the public
found enough else to bet on to bring
the odds up to 3 to /, a royal price
on this ones chances. Madrono had
to be content with the place with
King Agrippa third.
Regal Lodge and War Note, two
popular choices, accounted for the
third and seventh races, while Mi
nata took down the steeplechase
handily. Miss Petite, a recent ar
rival from. New York, accounted for
the initial dash.

yards of penalty was added and

Mackert, Brewer and BosIey

object when under way and a
worse proposition to stop.
At other times ten of the Mid
dies would adorn the line. leaving
only Conroy back. Then the Utah
cyclone would jump through a con-
venient hole in the line for or 5
or yards. as the case might be.
1t was all line with the Navy
that and Conroy. They were an
unbeatable combination.
How little chance the Blue and
Gray had to win can be CLEANED
from the cold and cruel statistics.
In the matter of first downs they
totalled exactly two. One was made
on their only successful forward
pass. The other when Carlin, who
substituted for Malley early in the
game, shot around the end for IA
yards in the third period. On the
other hand the Middies made their
required distance TWENTY-FIVE times
Figures show that they were gain
ing at ratio of 10 to l, and figures
do not lie.
Pass Attack Also Fails.
Georgetown's forward mass at-
TACK which was expected to help
them In time of need, failed for sew
erai reasons. One was that the Navy
line wouldn't give Flavin time to
get set. Several times he was
smothered before he could get the
oall away. Six times the Hill
toppers essayed the air route, with
only one successful attempt, a toss
OF 70 yards. Twice their fings were
intercepted within a few yards of
the enemy's goal line. The Navy
tried eight tosses, completing two
for and yards respectively. Their
long passes were a failure.
In one department the Hilton
Pers far outshone their opponents;
Flavin's educated toe was never in
better form. His swirling punts
were the cause of wonder as they
carried down the field. He averaged
nearly fifty yards in his seven kicks,
while the various Navy kickers fell
far below that mark.
HilItoppers Get Early Score.
Georgetown rooters, who almost
filled the seats on one side of the
field, had their hopes sent to the
highest mark, when Flayin pulled
his opening 55-yard dash and gave
the Hilltoppers six-point lead,
when Kenyon missed the goal. But
the joy was short lived.
After an exchange of punts, the
Middies began march from midfield.
With Conroy doing most of the
work, they rushed the ball to the
21-yard line as the period closed.
On the first play in the second
period, Conroy hit left tackle for
seven yards, giving his team a first
down; Keohler added five in the line
putting the ball within nine yards
of the goal.
Then Folwell's men introduced the
Hilltoppers to their pet play. 1t was
a fake line-plunge, on which Mckee
came around and took the ball, skirt
ing around Georgetown's right end
for touchdown. He was unmolest-
ed on his journey. King kicked the
goal.

urged the colored people of Keokuk to

Citizens in Meeting Saturday
Night Consider That This
is One Remedy if Reso-
buttons are Unheeded.
RECONSIDERATION ASKED
Resolutions Presented by Ma.
jor w. B. Collins are Adopt
ed and Commute Named
to Present Them Today.

Recall of the present city council
if it does not. consider favorably the
resolutions passed Saturday night at
meeting of over two hundred citi-
zens, protesting against the proposed
raise in gas rates, was one remedy
suggested. Taking out meters, cur
failing the use of gas and other eco
uOmiCaf measures were suggested,
but the one which seemed to strike
the popular chord at the meeting was
the threat to recall the present city
commission in case it refuses to re-
consider it's action and ignores the
resolutions passed.
The meeting was held in the Y. w.
c. A. and there was good sized dele
cation there from all parts of the
city. Mrs. Mary Anderson acted tenn
porarily as chairman, and on Jam s
Fallon's motion George E. Radasch
was called to the chair and Mrs. An
derson was made secretary of the
meeting. Mr.. Radasch expressed his
pleasure at the honor given him, and
spoke of his amaZement at reading OF
the increase in rate asked for by the
keokuk Electric company for the gas
here He recalled the fact that gas
had been furnished much more cheap
ly in the past and also that the in
crease asked for two years ago was
to continue in effect eighteen months
after the close of the war. He con-
sidered that the gas company had al
ready been given fair compensation
in the way Of gas rates.
He spoke Of the commission which
made the recommendation for the
raise, and declared that it was rec
ommending for the company rate
Of $237h! "This is too much to ask"
he declared. 'They are camouflaging
the request under service fee
charge. This is an injustice because
it makes the little fellow, the small
consumer, bear the burden"
Mr.. Radasch characterized the re-
quest for the raise as "the smooth est
thing ever put over on Keokuk." He
spoke of the Hannibal franchise, and
said there could be no amendment to
it's rates and that the gas there was
costing from $135 to S1.75 He said
that the council here said that the
Fort Madison request had been de-
ferred only until spring, when new
council comes into power, but that
didn't help the Keokuk situation any.
1.-THE gas company declares that
! none Of its holdings is water" he
said, but their gas surely is"
Resolutions by Collins.
| Major w. 3. Collins then presented
! the following resolution, which was
unanimously adopted:
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1920-12-13

RECALL COUNCIL THREAT
At CAS- RATE PROTEST

Resolved. That it is the sense
of the citizens OF the city OF keo-
kuk here assembled:
I, We protest against the in
crease in the price of gas at this
time.
2. We protest against the
rental Of fifty cents per month
for gas meters.
8. We request the city council
to reconsider the passage of the
gas ordinance on Monday. the
thirteenth instant.
After these resolutions were passed
someone demanded to know what
could be done if the council failed to
accept the mandate and rescind It's
action.
Remedies Suggested.
"The remedies are such as one sees
fit" Major Collins replied. 1--WE can
tell the gas company to take out its
meters. We can refuse to use gas.
If we are not satisfied with the pres
ent council, We can recall Them he
then explained, at the request OF the
chairman, what was necessary to
initiate a recall-a petition signed by
IS per cent Of the voters.
The Rev. Fred w. Long suggested
that it would be more expensive to
take out meters, and he suggested
that it would be best to see that the
old rates remained in force.
Mrs. John p. Hornish recalled the
fact that eleven hundred women were
organized two years ago in the mat
ter of a campaign against vice, ana
she said this organization was still in
existence. She suggested that If the
present council did not act fairly In
this matter there was one thing to
do, and that was to recall it and
get one that would do it's duty"
Chairman Radasch suggested again
that this was not a time to increase
rates, but to readjust them, and he
attacked the service charge of fifty
cents. He drew an analogy to this
charge of the butcher charging his
customer ten cents for weighing his
roast on an automatic scale.
DR.. H. A. Kinnaman asked some
questions about the cost Of coal, as
it was said in the meeting by George
Loewenstein that the company claim
ed it was paying nine dollars and
more for coal. d. E. Reeves, in an
swer to Dr. Kirnaman's question, said
coal could be bought for seven dol
lars. He didn't know anything about
the quality of the coal for making
gas, however.
Says Council Unfair.
Chairman Radasch then asked Mrs.
Anderson if any members of the
council were present. or if they had
been invited. She said that the meet
ing had been called by a few of the
ladies and they did not know how
many would come. She was glad the
men had turned out as they did, and
she explained that none of the coun-
Gil had been invited.
1--WE decided to ignore the council
and take our petition to Mr.. Alexan-
der" she said. "He has treated us
sQuarely We didn't feel that the
council had been fair to us and we
decided to ignore them tonight"
1t was decided to name a commit
tee to present the petition to the
council Monday. and the chair ap,
pointed w b. Collins, Dr. H. A. Kin
naman, Mrs. Mary Anderson and Mrs.
Frank Oertel as that committee.
A report will be made by the com.
mittee at a future meeting, Of the
action of the council.
