WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. -The latest Mexican note has been delivered Id the Htate department. Carranza still insists that U. 3. troopa should with draw.

Most Serious Food Situation t f f f W & x ttf .if K In Decades Faces America If IS ? f IS ! '! '. J '.! 1 Railroad Strike Materializes NEW YORK, Aug. 4. The United Press has gathered statistics showing that America will face the most serious food situation in decades if the railroad strike material izes. Coast cities and towns located on navigable streams would be least affected. Babies and children would bear the brunt. There would obviously be great difficulty in supplying perishable foodstuffs to the thickly populated centers. The shortage of milk would first be felt. Phila delphia is prepared to mobilize thirty thousand automo biles to carry food. New York might exist for weeks on account of being the clearing point for many cities. Pitts burgh has supplies of fresh goods to last forty eight hours and preserved foodstuffs to last ten days. Boston has enough butter and eggs to last all winter. The meat sup ply is low. St. Louis and interurban trolleys would pre vent suffering there. San Francisco has sufficient provis ions to last a month. Los Angeles boasts unlimited sup plies of meat, flour and non-perishable products. Kansas City would be unable to withstand the blockade for twenty four hours. Denver, St. Paul and Cleveland be lieve the strike would not affect them for a month. Most cities would face a coal and gasoline shortage.

Johnson, a colored man who resides near the Kound-I'p grounds, was fined J5 by Judge Thomas Fitz Gerald In the police court this morn ing for keeping two dogs in the city without licenses. He was also order ed to purcha.se said licenses immedi ately. The man paid his fine. Mr. Johnson had many alibis. He stated to the court that the older of the canines had been fold to another gentleman., but like the cat, came lack. The other- doggie was not quite six months old yet and he did not think he would have to obtain a license for tho pup until he had reached the six months age It Is reported the dogs have been chasing cattle in the Kound-I'p grounds and have taken alter the del. very boys man tiniea. Roberts' Rules of Order were in voked last evening by the supporters of Miss Sabra L. Nason, county li brarian, to prevent her dismissal from office. Refusing to recognize the meeting of July 12, at which the resignation ot Miss Nason had been arked by motion on or before August 1, as a legal one, Mrs. Llna H. Sturgls, chair man of the library board, voted with tour other members to sustain her attitude and produced Roberts' Rules to substantiate her claim that she had the privilege of voting. The supporters of the librarian thus won a temporary victory at least, but those members seeking her removal will continue the fight either in the board or in the courts. The fact that three new members are to be ap pointed in the near future may re sult in the defering of further ac tion until the new appointments are made. One Member Absent. Ten of the eleven members of the board were present last evening, in cluding the two members of the county court, who have seldom attended. Mrs. A. J. Owen, secretary, was the absent one, she being at Seaside for her vacation. Thus the forces were divided, five and five, but the opposi tion to Miss Nason suddenly found itself on the defensive when the chairman refused to recognize the meeting at which the librarian had practically been dismissed. Mrs. sturgis at the opening of the meeting announced that she would not have the minutes of the meeting of July 12 read as she did not recog nize it as legal. Asked by Mrs James A. Fee to state her grounds she expressed them as follows: "There was no legal call, according to the Iy-law8. for any meeting held on that date and the purpose specified in the purported call was not the real purpose of the meeting and the bus iness attempted was not specified in the call." Adjourned or callbd .' Mrs. Fee contended that the meet ing of July 12 was an adjourned meeting rather than a called meeting and, therefore, any business that IS: proper at a regular meeting was proper there. Mrs. Sturgis refused: to grant this point, declaring that the preceding meeting showed that the; meeting had "adjourned at the call! of the president." She asserted that! she had not called the meeting of July 12 and knew nothing of it until! rt,irtA 3nrl Mace ' "' minutes before the hour of meet-: uuu mojs vi ing Fvidpnrp Grnvv Hailv 1 Mrs Kee mad a motion that the ufiuciiicuiuvtsuaiiy mfrtinB t- July be reoognized by the board as having been an ad- SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 4 Dep- J NIC",NK "ouon wits, , , seconded by D.

More Local Wheat Sold; Prices Up Between 125,000 and 150, 0U0 bush els of club wheat is reported to have been sold here yesterday to local grain dealers. Some of this grain la said to have been contracted ut a price as high as 97 cents. The market today Is firm and It would not be surprising if considerable more of the 1916 crop would be sold before the day Is over. It Is believed that selling will bo brisk If the price keeps nn. M.r than 400.000 busheU of wheat yet re mains In the warehouses which were carried over from the crop last year. Prices on Rise. CHICAGO, Aug. 4.

I Marsh and Commissioner Oookbnm voted In the negative. tmntesK chairman'- Vote. Mrs. Fee and Mr. Phelps challeng ed the right of the chairman to vote except In a case of a tie but Mrs. Sturgls, stating that the by-laws rec ognize Roberts' Rules of OTder as governing the proceedings, read from the rules giving the chairman the privilege of voting to make a tie. Thus balked, the antl-Xason fac tion was for a time at a lose until Mr. strain suggested an appeal from the decision of the cnair. Mrs. Fee made the appeal and the vote was again five to five. Tho right of Mrs. Sturgis to vote to sustain her own decision was contested but again she read from Roberts' Rules to sustain her The official record kept by the board thus shows that no business was transpired on July 12 and Miss Nason therefore Is still acting as li brarian. However, Mrs. Fee had in corporated in the minutes last even ing her contention that the meeting of July 12 was legal, citing as proof that Mrs. Sturgls had herself called for a rising vote at that time upon the motion relating to the lihrarlan shlp and had taken part in other bus iness, thus recognising the meeting. Mrs Sturgis read Into the minutes her answer to the effect that she had refused to put the motion referred to, but. having failed to hear one mem ber vote, had. as an Individual mem ber and not as chairman, asked for a rising vote. Action Carefully planned. The opposition to Miss Nason was apparently taken by surprise last evening and is was just as apparent that her supporters had a carefully organized plan of action which was carried out fully. It is reported that they had met during the afternoon and, with the aid of legal advice, had determined their course. Attorney Roy Raley was present last evening but was not called upon. Mayor Best and City Attorney Fee were also present but neither took any part in the proceedings. The anti-N'ason faction had seem ingly the upper hand when the meet ing opened for the action for the dis missal of the librarian had already been taken and her supporters were not strong enough to rescind it. How ever, the refusal of the chairman to recognize the meeting at which this action had been taken suddenly re versed the situation. However, the opposition to the present administration stated after the meeting that they considered mat ters unchanged by the meeting of last evening and do not recognize Miss Nason as librarian. They intimated that they will carry the matter Into the courts unless they secure a ma jority in the immediate future. Mrs. Owen Could IXMih. Mrs. owen has it in her power to decide the controversy, but neither faction i. quite sure of her attitude. It is quite likely that she will refuse to accept the responsibility as she has but another month to serve. Her term and those of Mr.. Berkeley and Mr. strain will expire at the end ' of this month and their successors are to b appointed by Mayor Best, subject to confirmation by the council. The mayor Is understood to be opposed to Miss Nason but the attitude of the council ,s uncertain. BLAIR CREEK DEATHS 28 Funeral Is Sunday.
