ACT ENABLING SALE OF
T
Commission Wants .Authority
to Dispose of Its Securities
Without Competition,
An amendment to the public dock act
permitting the sale of dock bonds in
mall denominations at par to local in
vestors will be sought by the dock com
mission, according to action taken at a
meeting this morning. .
The dock law how requires that the
bonds be sold to the highest bidder, and
this provision has been a handicap In
the commission's desire to secure local
investment In the dock securities.
Awaiting action by the city commis
slon" toaay In selling a test dock bond
the dock commission adjourned to meet
tomorrow morning, when by ordinance
It will ratify today s action of the city
commission, specifying the life and In-
terest rate of the bond. ' Then the Issue
can be carried to the supreme court to
decide whether, under the commission
charter, the dock commission or the city
commission Is the proper selling agent
of the dock bonds, or whether it will be
necessary to secure renewed authority
by vote of the people tor the sale of
the remaining $l,uoo,000 of the $2,600,
000 issue authorized more than twoi
- years ago.
It was suggested by Chairman Fred
W.-Mulkey of the commission that the
legal department of the city be called
on to draft the amendment to the dock
act making it possible to sell dock
bonds In small denominations on a
feasible basis.
A committee consisting of the chair
man and Commissioner Burgard . was
appointed to confer with a committee
from the' Port of Portland commission,
Major Mclndoe of the United States
engineers and the " commissioner of
public works of the city, relative to the
relocation of harbor lines, the sua
gestlon to th government being that a
pier head line take the -place of the
harbor line and to the rear of It a bulk

(United Press Leaked Wire.)
San Diego. Cal., Sept. 4.-r-JLieutenant
Moss Love of the United States , army
aviation corps, was killed . today In
ia.u in an aeroplane.
Love fell 300 feet and landed on the
ground in the center of North island,
San Diego bay, where the army aviation
school is' conducted. Sailors from the
fleet in the harbor brought his body
here. He apparently was instantly
killed. He was flying in an army bi
plane. Love, considered one . . of the most
careful aviators, lost control of his
army biplane while making an ordinary
2,000 foot glide.
, Lieutenant Carberry was ln the air at
the time of the accident, but did not see
the fall, and as there were no other
close eye witnesses and the machine i
totally wrecked, it is not thought that
the cause of the accident can be dt
termined. A board of army officers
was to make an Investigation late to
day. Judge James M. Love of Fairfax, Va.,
Captain James M. Love, 4 brother, who
is at present with the Fifteenth Infan
try at Tientsin, China, and the of
ficers of Love's regiment, the Eleventh
cavalry at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., were
notified.
Lieutenant Love was 33 years old
and unmarried. He was a native of
Virginia.
Lieutenant Love's name is third In the
list of fatalities on the North Island
aviation register. Lieutenant Chandler
fell to his death In San Diego bay
April 8. this year, and Lieutenant Park
was killed In an attempted flight to
Los Angeles from North Island, May 9,
this year.
Two German Officers Killed.

Eckenbrecher and Prince, military avia
tors, were instantly killed here today
when a monoplane turned turtle during

$10,000,000 GRAFT
' (tatted Press Leaard Wire. I
Odessa, Sept, 4.-Investigation of the
accounts of the Amur railroad by Im
perial Comptroller Kharltonoff has re
vealed the. fact that during the last five
years the officials in charge of the con
struction work on the eastern section of
the line have drawn $10,000,000 as pay
for 12,000 convicts, mostly political pris
oners, who have' been compelled' to work
on the line. Naturally, the convicts
never have seen a cent, but the pay rolls
list them as paid workmen.
Despite the fact that some 600 offi
cers and officials of all grades have been
convicted and punished for commissariat
frauds amounting to $166,000,000 in four
years, graft is still rampant all over
Russia, and another big scandal has "been

girls in your office.' Dlpgs replied:
'No. they were society ladles." Then I
told him: 'They must be nice society

To allow persons of moderate means
an opportunity to purchase city Im

terest, L. A. Migelow, commissioner of
finance, and City Treasurer Adams, are
planning to Issue bonds In multiples of
$100 Instead of In denominations of $500
and $1000 as in the past. Although an
ordinance authorizing the sale of $259.
000 worthof Improvement bonds passed
the council yesterday, no date has been
set for the sale as yet.
Bids are to be received as formerly
but with the new plan forms are to be
printed and given to all of those who
wsh to bid. All that will be necessary
for a would be buyer Is to fill out one
of these forms and. send it to the
city auditor. This proposed scheme Is
more In the nnture of an experiment, as
no Improvement bonds have ever before
been issued In denominations of such
small amounts. If bids by private In
dividuals are found to be the highest,
of course, the bonds will be sold to them'

RAIN GENERALLY WELCOME AND HOP CROPS
HAVE NOT SUFFERED AS MUCH AS 'PICKERS'
If Downfall Continues, However, Situation Will Become More
Serious and Damage Will More Than Offset Bene
fits Already Derived.
Damaged hops, if the rain continues,
but improved crops from late sown
fields and gardens, is the tenor of re
ports coming today from Oregon and
nearby .Washington communities.
So far the rain has done little dam
age to hops. It has been hoppickers
who have suffered because of crowded
camps and pnly "camping out" facili
ties for ""housekeeping." The rain has
been' general in hopgrowlng districts,
and though It has delayed picking, the
growers will gladly accept this circum
stance if the skies will just clear up
now and permit the work to go on be
fore the product of the vines has been
destroyed by incessant beating of the
"golden" drops.
Little apprehension Is felt for any
but hop crops. The long drouth, which
was general, was In Itself growing se
rious, and all growers of the late pro
duce welcome the molsiure.
Following are sectional reports of
conditions:
River Up at Woodland.
Woodland, Wash., Sept. 4. Rain that
commenced yesterday afternoon contin
ued all night without cessation and with
no prospect of an Immediate clearing
up. The Lewis river has raised about
one foot from the very low level that
it had reached, and Is still rising. There
will be some damage to hay that is
down, but late crops and pasturage will
be greatly benefited. The rising river
will make good early fishing. The rains
will also help to put out any small
fires that may have gained foothold In
the timber of the community. There
have been no large fires.
Independence Vetch In.
Independence, Or., Sept." 4. Hop-picking
In this district has been interfered
with by the rains which started Tues
day morning, and so far In the greater
number of yards only one day's work
has been done. Present Indications are
not favorable for any more picking this
week. Clover hulling and threshing
were stopped Tuesday morning, and It
is feared that grain In some distant
sections of the county will be ruined.
