Keokuk is more than generally in
terested In the naval demonstration
'i against Vera Cruz for the fact that a
uuniber of local men are attached to
that branch of the service. Whlla
some of them are not yet seeing
service |n the Mexican waters, they
may be called on for duty there be
fore long.
.y Lieutenant J. C. Townsend Is at
tached
to the Vermont, one of t'ao
I ships which took part in the shelling
of Vera Cruz this morning. Lieuten
ant Townsend is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. W. Townsend of this city.
Si'He visited here not long ago on his
way to Join his ship.
Emmet Setts Is a midshipman at
Annapolis. This morning his mother,
Mrs. James Car-s, received a paper
•from the academy, dated April 20, in
l| which it ta stated that in the event
of war being declared, the academic
officers probably would be ordered to
ships, and If the situation was serious.
(]ie f,rst class of midshipmen would
], be graduated at once and sent to
ships. The Keokuk boy is In the
second class, not graduating until
una. and he probably would not be
ordered out until something more
.. serious, at least, developes.
Roy Chenowith is one of the local
boys who has been attached to one
of the ships of war. Mr. Chenowith
was on the fleet at the time of the
tcur around the world.
Carnahan,. Cook and Hovey are
other local men said to be on the

into the melee.

go far as could be learned today
there are no local men in the regular
fi army. During the Spanish trouble
there were several from here who
were enlisted men, but so far as can
ho ascertained now, there are no en
listed men from here.
There are a number of young men
of Keokuk and of the surrounding
towns in Iowa. Illinois and Missouri
who are in the service, but who
could not be recalled on the spur of
the moment. If there are additions to
the list who are fighting in Mexican
waters, The Giate City would be glad
to hear from them.
Cough Medjeine for Children.
Too much care cannot be used in
selecting a cough medicine for chil
dren. It should be pleasant to take,
contain no harmful substance and be
most effectual. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy meets these requirements
and is a favorite with the mothers ot
young children everywhere. For sale
by all dealers.—Advertisement.
AMUSEMENTS.
"September Morn"—Real Show.
September Morn, the rollicking
musical comedy sang and danced its
way into the hearts of Keokuk thea
tre goers last night. It was pro
nounced by everyone who saw it as
the best musical show that has been
In Keokuk this season, and for real
fun, real dancing, and some real act
ing, to say nothing of a classy chorus
and their clothes—and lack of them,
too—September Morn will long be
remembered. A will-o-the-wisp com- this city during the year,

show unquestionably had everything)
else in that line backed off the boards.
There whs some real acting d^lay-
too. which must not be lost sight
of. Frank Minor, as "Professor
Rudolph" was superb. His character
interpretations were immense, his
gestures and actions were beyond
comparison, and in fact his entire In
terpretation of the part left nothing
to be desired. One of the funniest
stunts he pullet* off was that of los
ing his foot In a drese suit ten sizes
too large. It was frothy and foolish,
but even froth and fun well put on
can be classed as an art.
Maude Potter as "Argentina, the
world's greatest tango dancer,'* gave
an exhibition of dancing little short
of wonderful. With Clarence Nord
strom as "Ted VanDyke" she put on
several fine bits of dancing, the
climax of which came in the second
act in their Maxixe with its variations.
Dorothy Earle as "Louise StormB"
^demonstrated her dancing abilities,
also.
William Cameron appearing first as
Henri, the professor's assistant, and
later as the proprietor of "The Glided
Pig,"
proved a versatile actor in
character parts.
The climax of the first act was a
complete surprise and a pleasing nov
elty, and in the second act when
Potter finished her dance suspended
in midair from the curtain, the aud
ience decided the show was full of
thrills. In the third act the tableau

"The Pasisng Parade."
The most entertaining musioal com
edy that has been presented at the
Hippodrome thjatre the past season
is the one that is playing the first
half of this week, "The Passing Pa
rade." All that goes to make the kind
of a show that is universally appre
ciated is found here. Five acts and
five scenes are presented, the scenio
efTects being strikingly beautiful. Max
Fields as Morris Greenback, a retired
Jew, easily takes first honors as the
laugh producer of the show. Fields

The company was generous with its
encores. The house was insistent that
It should be, and the combination
furnished an evening of pleasure. The
chorus was well drilled, well dressed
and the tangoes, one steps, hesita
tions. Maxlxes and variations were a
revelation and wonder to behold.
Perhaps the presence of Edwin CHf
Leo Hoyt
a brewer,
Oscar Sweltzpretzel,
comes second only to Fields. One of
the big features of the show is the
appearance of Master Fred Tidmarsh,
who formerly appeared as the original
boy soprano with Primrose and Dock
stader. and is remembered by many
people here who saw him in that
show. He has been winning great
favor as Percy Greenback, son of the
retired Jew. The greater part of tha
company is composed of girls—pretty
girls with good voices and real abil
ity. The chorus is used in every song

United Press Scored World Scoop in
Getting the First News of
the Landing of the
Marines.
NEWSPAPER
MIsb
MARVEL
Why The Gate City and Other U. P.
Papers Beat All the Oth
ers on Last
Evening.
That rarest of newspaper accom
plishments, a world sooop, is today
being scored to the credit of Wm. G.
Shepherd, staff correspondent of the
United Press at Mexico City, who at
3:10 p. m. (eastern time) yesterday—
more than four hours ahead of any
other newspaper men—gave to the
world the news that American ma
rines had landed in Vera Cmz. and
that the opening fight of the second*
war with Mexico was on. The achieve
ment. which resulted in the--state de
partment at Washington getting its
first news of the battle of Vera Cruz
from the United Press, will go down
in newspaper history as one of tin
greatest "scoops" of the generation.
The beat was made possible de
spite the Mexican censorship which
for all other newspaper men was air
tight, by resort to a simple private
code employed by Shepherd and the
New York office of the United Press.
An innocent appearing message rela
tive to the shipment of some photo
graphic films addressed by Shepherd
to a private address in New York did'
the trick and! while the correspon
dents of the other news agencies and
newspapers in Mexico City were fum
ing over their inability to get their
dispatches past the censor, United
Press papers the country over were
printing the news of the landing and
attack of Vera Cruz. During this time
the rival agencies were seeking to
discredit the story.
Hours before any rival agency had
succeeded in getting a word of infor
mation through, a second code mes
sage came through from Shepherd
giving first details of the actual fight
ing and of the course pursued by Ad
miral Fletcher's landing party.
This second message was later sup
plemented by a message from Vera
Cruz direct, where for several hours
previous, the resident correspondent
of the United Press and all other cor
respondents had been trying in vain
to get a message past the censor.
Shepherd's scoop, closely following
his almost equally important one of
last week—when he made the exclu
sive announcement that Huerta was
going to deliberately force the United
States to intervene—was the fifth
beat scored by the United Press in
six days, the other three events be
ing the sending of the battleship fleet
to Tampico the attempted assassina
tion of Mayor Mitchel of New York
and President Wilson's now famous
"until 6 p. m. Sunday" ultimatum.
"Last Buffalo Hunt" Planned.
PLERiRE, S. D., April 22.—Arrange
ments are being made here today for
staging the last great buffalo hunt of
the west and in order that posterity
may not forget how the original
American chased big game, moving
pictures will be taken of the hunt.
John E. Sloat, Gettysburg, S. D„ who
has an option on the famous Scotty
Phillips herd" of 467 buffalo, is nego­|their
tiating with a moving picture com
pany to turn over part of the herd
and with the aid of 200 Sioux Indians
stage a great buffalo hunt, authentic
in every detail. It is probable that
the event will be produced on the

WOMEN BURNED UP
Battle Expected to be Resumed To

Fight to the
Death.
I United Press Leased Wire Service.]
DENVER, Colo., April 22.—All Colo
rado shuddered with horror today as
the details of the fourteen hour battle
fought at Ludlow Monday were re
vealed in newspaper dispatches from
Trinidad and official reports to acting
Governor Fitzgarrald from the militia
men in the field.
Thirty-three known dead, more than
two-thirds of whom are women and
children, a score missing and more
than a score wounded—this Is the toll
taken by the battle which the United
Mine Workers and other labor organi
zations have already named "the
slaughter of innocents." With arms
ready, both sides at day light today
awaited a resumption of the blood let
ting and fears were expressed that
should It be renewed, the slaughter
will equal if it does not exceed, that
of Monday. Several companies of
militia, recruited from mine guards
employed by the coal operators are
encamped at Ludlow. Monday they
drove the strikers from their tent
•colony at Ludlow and it is charged1,
set fire to the tents, thereby causing
the greatest loss of life. Early today,
Trinidad dispatches say they were
preparing for a machine gun sortie
from their position along the Colo
rado and Southern railway tracks at
each side of the Ludlow railroad sta
tion. On the surrounding hills, shel
tered by rocks and boulders, 400 strik
ers awaited their coming while their,
ranks were being swelled by grim
faced men who had tramped overland
in the darkness, carrying guns and
ammunition from neighboring union,
camps. Italian, Greek and Austrian
miners have appealed to their con
sular representative for protection.
The Red Cross has been telegraphed
to be ready to render aid.
If another battle is fought its out
come may determine the fata of the
strike of union coal miners in Colo
rado. Both sides face It as a battle
to the death, without thought of quar
ter. Major P. J. Hamrock, command
ing the troops at Ludlow reported to
Adjutant General Chase during the
night that thirty-three persons had
been killed. He was not in a posi
tion to state, he said, what the strik
ers losses had been. He said his

by the strikers lines which extend,
tack three miles.
In Trinidad the situation is searcely
less acute. Strikers crowded about
the union headquarters and with the
image of flaming tents of Ludlow be

cried for an opportunity to attack the
mine guards and militia.

thirteen children and two women.
During the horrible conflagration, a
littl? girl, aged ran aimlesly about
the camp while the bullets poured in,
until insane with fright she leaped in
to one of the pits and never emerged
alive. James Fylir, president of the

a bullet through his forehead as he
was trying to rescue his wife from
the flames.

Industrial Association
Bulletin No. 31
The Industrial Association is not a secret organization.
It is not a religious group.
It is not a monopolistic body.
It is working for the best interests of the community and not for any
one individual or group of individuals.
It is not narrow or self-centered and is ready to meet any duty which
the city presents.
It recognises merit.
It emphasizes civic and social duties.
It represents hundreds of citizens of Keokuk who have shown their
willingness to make an investment in the welfare of the city, and whose
affiliation is proof in itself, to their circle of acquaintances, that they be
lieve in Keokuk and the Industrial Association and in those who are carry
ing on the activities of both bodies.
It believes in service not only for its members, but also for the city.
Its officers have that vision of service.
It may well be said that the Industrial Association emphasizes the
motto "one for all and all for Keokuk."
The best way to emphasize your faith in the city of Keokuk as well as
to show your appreciation of the beautiful, is to assist in 'slie "BrightenUp
Crusade" which is to take place the latter part of this month. The city is
anxious to have the streets and alleys kept clean. The city will clean the
streets for this special occasion. Now it is up to us to clean our part of
the city, clean the property that we own or occupy and do our part toward
making this "Brighten Up Crucade" mean something.
We all have our personal opinions, quite often in regard to people
who do not keep clean themselves. Have you ever noticed that same sort
of a feeling is created in the mind of a visitor when he goes to a city which
is in itself dirty, unattractive and sprinkled .with vile and loathsome
looking places? Let us see to it that nothing of that kind happens in Keo
kuk.
April 30 is the date of the "Brighten Up Crusade."
