Quincy Whig: As the result of the
failure or refusal of the Mississippi
River Power company, at Keokuk, to
furnish Quincy with a definite rate
sheet, indicating at what rate the fac
tories in and around this city will be
supplied with power, it is possible
that the industrial fund which was
recently raised, will be held up indef
initely. By this it is meant that, prob
ably no more of the money will be
spent, only on contracts that are now
entered into, until satisfactory ar
rangements have been made with the
Mississippi River Power company.
The board of trustees of the indus
trial fund of the. city met .last Satur
day, and at that time took action sim
ilar to the above. A resolution was
1
prepared whkh will be presented to J*™*
the executive committee at its next
meeting. What action will be taken,
or with what attitude the executive
committee views the situation, still
remains to be seen. .V*
The Chamber of Commerce offi
cial have had several conferences
with Hugh Cooper and Mr. Trawick
of the power company, but as yet no
satisfactory results have been obtain
ed, although Mr. Cooper has offered,
to refund to the city the amount that
bas been expended since the fund has
been raised, for the purpose of locat
ing or inducing new factories to come
to this city. While the mere refund
ing of the money will not better the
conditions to anyw notable" extent,
gome of the trustees are In favor of
allowing the big corporation to do so.
The Resolution.
The following Is the resolution that
will be presented to the executive
committee:
"Whereas it appears to the board
of trustees of the industrial fund of
the Chamber of Commence that the
'•Mi8shJBlp|l River Power company Is
hot disposed to offer rates on power
to industries locating in or likely to
locate In or near Quincy, and
"Whereas, it seems unwise, In our
Opinion, to continue expending the
fund provided by our citizens unttl
satisfactory arrangements as~to rates
ana delivery .of power, have been
made with the Mississippi River
Power company
"Therefore, be is resolved that we
request the executive committer of
the Chamber of Commerce to advise
us as to whether it Is'wise to con
tinue the expenditures from said
fund, other than on contracts now
entered into, and on negotiations now
actually pending with prospective in
dustries, until satisfactory, arrange
ments have been made with the Mis
sissippi River, Power company, as to
ra:es and delivery of power."

irom the-fund, TTicludiug Industrial
Agent Wilson's salary, money ex
pended for roadwork, Wilson's per

Impressive Sight When Th^y Steamed

Today.
[United Press Leased Wire Service
NEW YORK, Oct. 15.—For the
first time in years all traffic on the
North river was halted for hours to
day. The reason was, the final review
of the Atlantic fleet which ^teamed
out to sea past the converted, yacht
Mayflower with President Taft on her
bride. The review was one of the
most wonderful spectacles ever pre
sented In American'waters and 'was
witnessed by thousands who crowded
the river docks and the great fleet of
passenger craft that was anchored
near the Mayflower in the upper bay.
The Mayflower today took position
off Bedloe's Island shortly before ten
o'clock. Promptly at that hour all
river craft were ordered to tie up be
tween the Mayflower's anchorage and
Fort Washington by Commander Bul
lard, U. S. N.. in charge of the regu
lation of traffic.
The weather was beautiful and the
great fighting machines presented a
other ex-! most impressive spectacle as steam-
ing in single column formation they
passed down the bay, each saluting
with twenty-one guns the flag of the
president, flying from the Mayflower
in the very shadow of the Statue of
Liberty.

DREAM OP FANATIC
WHICH HAUNTED HIM
(Continued from page 1.)
Schrank talked freely tc newspaper
men and jail attaches today. Asked
if he had ever had a sweetheart, he
immediately stated that he had and
her name wa6 Elsie Zeigler, but ho
added: .. Wj yv'
"She went down on the General
Slocum and 1 have never felt right
since."
The would-be slayer extolled the
virtues of Elsie Zeigler whom, he
said, was a beautiful girl and whom
he had planned to marry when every
thing was right
"Have you never had another sweet
heart?" asked a reporter.
"No," said Schrank, "that would not
be right to Elsie."
"When she went down on the Gen
eral Slocum, I thought of suicide and
did not know how I could live without
her," he continued.
"I resolved to be true to Elsie, and
have never had another sweetheart."
Schrank told jail officials today that
he was hungry. A plate of sausage
and bread and a cup of coffee was set
before him. He took a bite of the
food and left it untouched, saying that
his appetite had failed him.

$5,000 Bail.
MILWAUKEE, Wis., Oct. 14—John
Schrank, the fanatic who attempted
the life of Colonel Theodore Roose
velt here last night, was arraigned in
district court today, pleaded guilty
and was bound over on $5,000 bail to
the next term of municipal court
which convenes December 10th.
The wouldJbe assassin of Colonel
Roosevelt was extremely nervous
when brought into the court room sur
rounded by a heavy detail of deputies.
His fingers twitched and he rubbed
his hands together constantly as he
glar from side to side at the
crowd of curious spectators. Judge
Neelen read- the warrant.
"How do you plead, guilty or not
guilty?" asked the court.
"Guilt answered Schrank in a
low voice
"You are charged with a serious
crime," interrupted District Attorney
Saeble, "you have a right to waive ex
anrnation and be bound over for trial
later or to have an immediate hear
ing. Which do you choose?"
The prisoner hesitated a moment
and stated he desired to waive ex
amination and have his trial set at a
later date.
Judge Neelen immediately ruled
that the man should face the Decem
ber term of the municipal court and
set his bond at $5,000.
Schrank was taken back to the
county jail where he lapsed into a
state of quiet and contrary to earlier
hours of the day refused to talk to
anyone.
