Washington, Aug. president
Roosevelt will await favorable OPP
portunity to extend his good offices
in arranging a settlement of differ
ences between the meatpackers and
their employees and adjusting the
mining troubles in Colorado.
Despite the denials of those in a
position to be acquainted with the
facts, it is known that the president
came from oyster Bay to this city
fully determined to take q prominent
part in bringing both the meat stri-
kers' and the miners troubles to a
happy termination. He believed some
authority could be found by which he
might interfere. He called Attorney
General Moody and Secretaries Nor
ton and Metcalf into consultation. He
advanced suggestion after suggestion
for legal advice. He was told in every
instance that nothing could be done.
When the president found that no
constitutional provision and no stat
ute gave him authority to become a
participant in the labor troubles, he
/. declared there must be some prece-
dent under which he could act. He
sent for Colonel Carroll D. Wright,
s chief of the labor. bureau, and inter-
2 rogated him at great length on past
experiences, but was informed that no
warrant existed for such action as he

u
Waukegan, ILL.,, Aug. John Alex
ander DoWie has a new solution for
the cause of warm weather. He says
the humid and oppressive heat is due
to the presence in the air of millions
of little devils sent here by the evil
one himself to annoy sinners.
DoWie Wrathfully admitted before
his congregation yesterday that some
of the officers of Zion are misusing
moneys which Zion has placed in
their hands. in fact, he said there are
several officers who are likely to be
hauled up for embezzlement unless
they make good at once.
Detectives he said, are watch
ing them daily. Why, only last Sun
day While our services was on, some
of the officers left the church and
went and stole money belonging to
Zion which they are supposed to take
care of. From now on any of them
who leave here during service will be
watched by detectives
No young man. continued Dowie,

first ask her parents, else he is a

washington, Aug. Tin my esti-
matlon we are going to, have very
satisfactory crop year. said the Sec
rotary of agriculture today. Corn is
looking better than it has at this sea-
son for three years. Wheat compares
we'll with past years; is better, in
fact, than at this time last year, or
the year before. Reports from the
cotton belt are encouraging, all hay
crops are reported good, and so are
oats.
+ cannot make any predictions on
prices. That is somewhat out of our
line, but I see no reason why prices
should not prove satisfactory. OF
course, my predictions are, so to
speak, informal. #
The bureau Of statistics has the
services of a great corps of expert
enced assistants who report crop con-
ditions, each in his own locality and
the chief of the bureau is an expert
on percentages. I am speaking only
from the reports that have reached
t me from various sources and from
observation"
Secretary Wilson left for Denver

State Department Asks Consul Gen.
eral at Ottawa for Facts.
From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, Aug. 1.-The state de-
partment today directed Consul Cen
eral Foster at Ottawa to Investigate
and report on the facts of the case Of
James H. Bacon and other American
engineers, employed on the Grand
Trunk Pacific railroad, who have been
ordered deported because. of alleged
violation Of the Canadian alien oon-
tract labor law.
The report on the Bacon case was
telegraphed to the state department
July 26, by Consul Samuel H. Shank
at Winnipeg. That report gave a
brief statement supporting kilograms
from Montreal that Bacon and Others
have been ordered deported. The
telegram was mislaid in the depart
ment and on every inquiry last week,
the statement was made that no pro-
test had been received. To-day, when
inquiries became persistent diligent
search was made and the telegram
dug out of a mass of papers IN one OF
the divisions and started on Its tray-
els around the department. It
finally reached acting Secretary
LOOMS, who directed that the facts
be ascertained thru Consul General al
Ottawa.
! Further procedure depends upon
the showing made in Consul General
FOSTERS report Should his statement
| of facts warrant it, Representations
| will be made to the Canadian govern
tment thru the British embassy to the
United States or direct to the Ca.
madam government thru Consul Gen.

Up to noon, several hundred strik-

hundred of the applicants We're re-

here was practically broken. All as

Venezuela's Seizure Of American
Asphalt Properties Is Being
Probed.
New York Sun Special Service.

Washington, Aug. 1.-State depart.
n1ent officials are anxiously awaiting
the report of Minister Bowen on the
seizure by Venezuela of the asphalt
properties of the New York e. Ber-
mudez company. Minister Bowen has
been instructed to investigate careful
ly whether the seizure had taken
place thru forms of law or whether
it was the arbitrary act of President
Castro.
Pending the receipt Of this report
the department is putting things into
shape SO that energetic measures can
be taken if necessary. It is under
stood that inquiry has been made Of
| the navy department. as to the dispo-
sition Of some of the light draft yes
| sells available for the shallow waters
Of some of the navfgable streams Of
| Venezuela with the end in view of
having some of these ships ordered
| to that country, if Minister Bowen 8
| report shows there has been a miscar-
| riage of justice or a travesty on the
forms of law.
| It was admitted today that the act
l of President Castro in thus Selling
/ this property after the highest court
had decided the validity of the con-
cession a year ago and the reversal
of itself at the dictate of the Venezu-
elan president presented most seri-
Gus question and might ultimately
| call for drastic measures on the part
of the United States in protecting the
property Of American citizens.
