CONSISTENT TO LAW
Dock Commission May Con
struct Structures So as to
Increase Usefulness.
The dock commission has power to so
build public docks that they may be
used for recreation purposes, ccordlng
to an opinion which has-been submitted
to the commission by (he city attorney,
But the expense of equipping the
docks snd piers for recreational use
should be borne out of the park depart
ment fund, continues the opinion. In
other words, the dock commission has
no authority to divert the money appro
prlated by the people for dock purposes
and. use it for recreation purposes. But
It has power to so plan its docks that
the use for recreation purposes when
otherwise financed will give the struc
tures an added value to tne community.
The dock commission Is reminded that
on Its own motion It made provision for
a recreation pier at the foot of Stark
street, and that similar action In re
spect to other docks is just as possible
to the commission.
When the opinion, which was asked
for by the dock commission, says that
the park department funds should be
drawn on for equipment, part of the
decision la passed to tho commissioner
of public affairs.
"I think It a mighty good idea, well
worthy of being carefully looked Into,

Missouri Has Two Hour Storm
Today That Revives Her
Crops.
(Doited I'rets Letted Wire.)
Chicago, Aug. 11 Rain storms which
began last night were general through
out Iowa today, nearly three Inches fall
ing at Des Moines. It is now believed
that the corn crop in Iowa will be
about 78 per cent of a normal yield,
possibly better. The fruit crop also has
been partially saved by the downpour,
and the apple crop will be about 75 per
cent of normal. '
Two and one-third inches of rain fell
at Cedar Rapids, one inch at Boone and
two and one-fourth at Marshalltown.
Rains In the corn belt of Nebraska
Saturday, Sunday and early .today have
Insured a good yield Of late corn but
the early crop will be only about 40
per cent of normal. Cool weather was
general throughout Nebraska today.
High temperatures and drouth con
ditions still prevailed today throughout
Kansas and Oklahoma, but relief la
promised soon. The situation Is most
serious, and light showers have afford
ed little relief. The temperature every,
where in Kansas today exceded 100 de
grees. Missouri's corn belt was visited by a
two hours' rainstorm today, which
served to revive the crop and pastur
age. Corn Prices Drop.
(Specltl to Tbt Journtl.)
Chicago. Aug. 11. General rains In
the corn belt brought down cash corn
prices In all of the primary markets and
forced a loss of 1 to 1 1-4 cents a bushel
here. At Omsha cash corn prices lost
1 l-2c a bushel today, Peoria lost l-2c,
and IS. Louis l-2c a bushel as a result
of the general showers.
The reported showers caused a stam
pede ot corn bull Interests and profit
taking aoon brought a sharp reaction in
prices, although there was little change
torM.aated Jwre .-.--.
After the first spell of dlixlneis the
market righted itself for futures on
ths presumption that the rains have
come at such a late date that real Im
provement In the crop can at best be
only slight. Most of the damage hss
already been done, according to those in
charge of the recent bull campaign in
the corn market, and it is too late for
the crop to make any substantial recov
ery this season.

GREAT BOND ISSUE

During Stay; President Is
Criticized.
Development of the government-aided
road projects provided for In the plan
mapped out by Ex-Senator Jonathan
Bourne will add $100,000,000,000 to the
wealth of the nation, according to the
former senatorial representative of Ore
gon; who is in Portland for the sake of
a little solf. a little Coat air. and a
general relaxation from the rigors of
life in Washington.
The ex-senator has been busy since
his term expired In working out his plan
as chairman of a special committee,
continued by authority of congress. He
arrived in Portland yesterday.
His plan involves a vast issue of
government 3 per cent bonds, the pro
ceeds of which shall be furnished the
individual states in jeturn for an equal
face value of 4 per cent state road bonds
which shall be deposited with the secre
tary of the treasury. The difference
between the 3 and 4 per cents, he plans,
will take up the principal in fifty years,
so in that period the state bonds may
be redeemed. In addition, the govern
ment and the individual states are to
co-operate on maintenance, each contri
buting 2 per cent of the total bonds.
'The plan is meeting indorsement all
over the country," declared Mr. Bourne
this morning. "I have thousands of
letters of approval and by the time the
committee's prescribed work is ended
March 4 next, I hope the bill either will
have been well on the way to passage
or else be returned to the committee for
the Incorporation of Ideas suggested by
the members of congress.
"The economio value of godd roads Is
demonstrated wherever they exist In
France, it is estimated that the cost of
maintenance of roads is only 3 per cent.
If the roads are built of concrete, how
ever, the cost in this country need be
only very small.

financiers of the country, I am assured

of these roads would vitalize almost

security enough for such far seeing men
as Kruttschnltt, Vanderlls and the as

PEACEFUL OUTCOME

Be in Financial Straits at
Present Time, f ii
(United Print Letttd Wire.)
Washington, Aug. 11. President Wil
son believes today that the air . has
cleared in the Mexican situation, . and
that Huerta is mors willing to adopt
a conciliatory attitu4e. The president
today saw the newspaper men In his
regular Monday conference, and whlia
he is not to be quoted, there is little
doubt that he hopes for a peaceful Out
come of the Mexican emDroglio.
It is declared that John Lind Is hot
required to report directly to the pres
ident, but that he will work through
Charge O'Shaughncssy of the United
States embassy and will proceed in aush '
a manner -as to arouss no resentment.
It Is probably too much to expect ths t
Huerta will retire Immediately, but be
cause of the government's f insnclal
embarrassments, he is expected te
hasten the election of a stable govern
ment in Mexico.
Xarestlgata Carransa'a Claims.
If Huerta, however, should prove ob
durate. Lind plana to discover definite
ly what forces are behind Carransa au3
will report fully to ths administration
on his discoveries. ,
Senator, Sheppard. of Texas has told
the president that 60 per cent of the
Mexicans favor General : Carransa's
claims to the presidency. The prebi
dent thinks that would be hard to
prove, but it Is reported he Is impressed
with ths claims, of the constitutionallsta
faction to recognition of their belliger
ency, and is willing to 'be shown that
they are aa much entitled ' to recogni
tion as Huerta and his party. . ' '
tnterrenUon Tale Dlsbsllevsd. ;.
The president 1 does not agree with
Senator Williams that an organised, fi
nancial movement exists to force Amer
ican intervention. He told his callers
today thai, the mevemen iav. olossa 1, -lying

Congressman Kahn's suggestion that
Brazil, Argentina and Chile : be invlt.-d
to act with the United States in Mex

on mere has not, been officially,
brought to the president's attention.
There win be no effort made br the
administration to hurry Lind's work.
Meantime the army and navy Is ready.
as a result or an investigation he
was ordered to make. Charge OlShaugb-
nessy at Mexico City reported today on
the arrest of a number of American
newspaper' correspondents there. , lu
said Burge McFall, one of those ar
rested, had been liberated.) He also
said other Americans reported impris
