The best answer TO these fault

+. NJ. Muldoon. who was In the city
council six years ago when the pro-

The foregoing resolution was intro
duced at the metinse Of the Cham
Der u Commerce this morning By
John ". Pratt. owner Of the white
River Journal. n leading county
newspaper published at Kent.
Mr.. Pratt lie a prominent Seattle

and would not injure the legitimate
business Of the commission men In
ihhe least"
"orsanized effort on the part of
the farmers OF the county and h
corporations Of h city government
win make the public market a go.
The principal difficulty IL not that
the commission men and grocers
have heretofore fought the scheme.
hut that the farmers have never
worked together.
Let regular market days be estab-
lished and soms place agreed upon
where the farmers and the conHum-
ers. including comm iraion men and
grocers. can meet. and there will be
no further complaint OF lack OF mar
ket for farm produce.
"Experience has taught that in the
large cities Of the East and OF
Europe no produce brought to town
on market days is ever taken back or
wasted. The bargain hunters will
attend TO that"
Would Help Everybody.
I'm fact, I doubt whether the COM
mission men would oppose the estab-
lishment Of n public market. While
there Is q very substantial founda-
ton for the now almost general COM
plant on the part OF the farmers
against the commission men. the
latter are not entirely to blame.
THE farmers At the present time
have no system I'm sending their pro-
ducts to market. One day not a
pound OF garden produce II sent into
the city. The very next day, per-
hans. the market H. overwhelmed
with tons OF such stuff and II glut-

reason the inferior fruits aud veget-

SMITH MAY PROTEST.
His Retirement With Censure Said
to Be Illegal.


to Be Illegal.
Washington, August 1.--(SpeciaD-War
Department officials are anxiously await
ing the action Of Brigadier General ia
cob Smith. who arrived from Manila to-
dav. to be confronted with the informa-
tion that he had been summarily retired
by order of President Roosevelt, on &C.
count of his now famous kill and burn
order in connection with the Samar cam
paign.
Thee Is an impression that General
Smith will refuse to accept the retire
ment, on the ground that 1t was coupled
with his court martial sentence, and &C
cordingly in violation of the military law
which provides that the President may
mitigate but cannot add to a sentence
of court martial.
There is no difference of opinion among
military authorities, who all agree that
the Presidents action in retiring General
Smith, in connection with the court mar
tial review, was clearly illegal They all
agreed that II General Smith appeals to
the courts. the retirement order will be
set aside. or course, General Smith could
gain nothing by such action.
The President has the undoubted right
to retire him in a separate order and
would certainly do so, but 1t would he
simply a vindcation of the military law
and the general right to refuse to accept
retirement with a censure.
Should General Smith decide to appeal
to the courts and win in his contention,
the President would be placed in an en-
barrassing position.
Colonel Wood has already been appoint
ed Brigadier General to fill the vacancy
created by General Smiths retirement,
and has in turn been retired and other
appointments have been made. All this
would be set aside and cause no little
difficulty in Strengthening out the tagle.

HAD MARROW ESCAPE.
Steamer Wheeli-s Barely Misses
Serious Wreck.

Louisville, KY, Aug 1.-The steamer
City of Wheeling had narrow escape
from serious disaster on the Ohio River
off North Bend. Ind, while bound from
Cincinnati to Madison, Ind, with cabin
full of passengers
Part of her freight was washed over
board and her passengers were thrown
into panic for few moments as the re-
suit of peculiar collision with the
steamer City of Cincinnati Of the route
from Cincinnati to Louisville.
The Wheeling which IL a small boat,
was following directly In the wake Of the
City of Cincinnati when q shallow place
In the river opposite North Bend was
reached. The latter boat suddenly slow
ed down and the Wheeling, continuing
at full speed, became locked with her.
A moment later the pilot of the City
of Cincinnati called for a full head of
steam and the larger craft shot forward
rapidly. causing tremendous swells which
rolled over the head of the smaller boat,
deluging the main deck and washing over
board quantity of freight. The water
poured into the matches Of the City of
Wheeling and her bow plunged down as
IL she was about to sink headforemost.
AS the bow rocked up and down, the pas
sengers became panic stricken, but were
soon quieted for the Wheeling steadied
herself In few4moments and was sue
cessfully landed at North Bend. Most
of the freight which was washed over
board was recovered.

LOVES ONLY PUTTY"
MAY YoHE signs FOR THE

Grows Hysterical and Murmurs
"Why Does Not Bradlee Come"
A Reconciliation Likely to
Be the Outcome.

London, Aug. Inlay Yohe, who ar
rived here this morning, drove at once
to the Savoy Hotel, and registered as
Lady Francis Hope. She spent the day
at the hotel dejectedly reading and re-
reading a batch of letters which she had
just received from Putnam Bradlee
Strong and in which, while urging for
giveness and beseeching news of Miss
Yohes future movements. carefully dis
guised his own whereabouts. On the in
side of one envelope Strong wrote Send
word by him (bearer) IL you forgive me-"
On reading this. Miss Yohe exclaimed:
There have been all sorts of friends here
today offering me all sorts of induce
ments to leave here hut care only for
Bradlee Where is he? Why don't they
bring him to me? Why does he write me
IL he does not love me? L would forgive
him in a minute IL he would only say
that he is sorry"
Miss Yohe grew quite hysterical
Strong's letters declared that he was
within a days ride of Paris, which was
obscure enough to leave Miss Yohe in
doubt whether he was in England or at
Genoa. Miss Yohe had all her trunks
packed in readiness to go to Paris, but
an intimation she received that strong
was not there finally decided her to re-
main in London. Referring to this de-
cision she said: Il don't see how 1 can
spend another night in this miserable
place, but suppose I must"
Prior 20 leaving London Strong told his
friends he intended to go to the United
States and never to see Miss Yohe
again. 1t is now evident that he has
changed his plans and that a reconcilia-
tory meeting between him and Miss Yohe
Is only a matter Of few days. Such a
meeting would probably have occurred
already If Strong were not doubtful as
to Miss Yohe's attitude in the matter of
criminal proceedings against him.

Memphis. Tenn, August 1.-The steady
downpour of rain which began Tuesday
morning ceased falling at noon today.
Reports from Mississippi, Arkansas.
West Tennessee and North Alabama are
to the effect that the rain was the heavi-
est experienced in years and in some
localities was of the record breaking
order. At Memphis the precipitation for
twenty-four hours was 40 inches and at
Arlington, near this city, the downfall
was $50 inches
In Mississippi. Alabama and Tennessee
crops generally were benefited but in
a few localities the downpour was so VIC
lent as to destroy the younger crops.
The railroads on the east side of the river
sustained no serious damage and trains
are running on schedule time.
News from nearly every section of Ar
kansas tells of an unprecedented down.
pour of rain, in some localities approx
mating as high as IL inches in three days.
Cotton is reported badly damaged in
many places and railroad traffic has been
checked in some of the western and
southern portions of the State. In Clark
County thousands of acres OF corn and
cotton may be lost.

WILL LOOK INTeS LAW
ROCK ISLAND CrS GRAFTON
MAY HAVE 70 dBLE.
Governor cummiw Us It Must Be
Shown That Il Ased Capital
ization is b. 3 Upon Some
thing Value.

Des Moines. Ia, August 1.-Governor
Cummins has announced that he Is in
vestigating the recent reorganization OF
the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
Railroad Company to ascertain whether
the organization is in all respects consis-
tent with the State laws of Iowa He
will confer with the Attorney General
about the matter as soon as that official
returns to the city. In giving the rea-
sons for his action. Governor Cummins
said today:
"It is my opinion that the reorganiza-
ton is out of harmony with the Iowa
laws. II 1 have read the press dispatches
Alright. there has been such an infation
of capital stock here as Is not contem-
plated by the laws of this State. 1t Is
true that there is no limit placed upon
the Capitalization of such company, but
there is a limit upon the Indebtedness OF
such corporations and there must be
something shown to the credit or the
stockholders of such company which
will represent the differences in increased
capitalization.
TT is my understanding that under the
Rock Island plans of readjustment each
holder of one hundred shares of common
stock is to receive a $4,000 bond secured
by a collateral trust mortgage upon the
present Rock Island stock. In addition to
this they receive in the Rock Island Com
pany of New Jersey seventy shares In
preferred stock and 100 shaes in common
stock, the preferred stock being preferred
to the extent of per cent. from the
earnings of each year Cor period of sew
en- years when it becomes preferrd for
per cent. for an additional period OF
seven years. after which it is preferred. 1
believe, to the extent of per cent. per
annum.
THE Capitalization of the old Rock Is
land Company was but $75.0 10000 while the
new company located in Iowa declares
capital of $125,0O0,000.
There must be something to my mind,
to show, more than is Indicated in the
above plan, that the increased capitaliza-
ton is not an excessive imitation, or that
the stock which has been issued is not
watered. Under the Hubbard bill, which
1 vetoed last winter. 1t would have been
possible for this new company to organ
ize without any difficulty, as all limita-
tons to the indebtedness Of such corpo-
rations were practically removed by that
act in its original form. Under the present
law there are limitations in this regard.
IT am not prepared to state that the
Iowa law has penalties which could be
inflicted for violation of such statutes,
but I am not willing to sit by and allow
a proposition of such enormous size to
amalgamate without inqufring into the
method which 1t employs and its con-
formity to the State laws. l am convinc-
ed that sue ha Capitalization of capital
and power is dangerous to say the least
and cannot be encouraged without threat
ening business interests Sucn a centrali-
cation of capital means that there may
follow an explosion which. when it comes,
is likely not only to affect one but many
interests and have felt it my duty to
inouire into this present case in Iowa"
