IOWA CROP BULLETIN
CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT The
STATE AS NOTED BY THE
WEATHER BUREAU.

7 Des Moines, Sept. 11.-Abnormally
high temperatures were registered at
all stations during the latter part OF
the week ending on the morning Of the
10th. At the central station the av-
erage daily excess was SO degrees,
which was aoout the average excess
in the central and western districts.
Light local showers were reported at
Grinnell, Dubuque and Keosauqpa, but
in the larger part of the state the
week was practically rainless. The
corn crop has made very rapid ad-
vancement toward maturity, and re-
ports indicate that more than half the
crop is now in fit condition to be cut
and put in shock or silo. This work
is now in progress on the best class
Of farms, where the fodder is utilized.
With a continuance Of these favor
able conditions the bulk of the corn
crop will be practically safe by the
25th; though as a rule in this latitude
it is always desirable to have frost
less September to bring to maturity
the belated cornfelds in all parts of
the state. In the northern section the
soil is sufficiently moist, but in the
central and southern sections copious
showers are needed to facilitate fall
blowing and revive the pastures. Re
ports are quite variable as to the prob
able yield OF the potato crop, on ac-
count of local differences in the
amount of rainfall in the critical stage
of growth.

Remarkable Coincidence.

A most remarkable coincidence was
noted in the deaths of two Dubuque
county old settlers. Geo. Haberkorn
and John Boemecke both came to
America from Germany sixty-one
yeats ago and both have lived on
farms mile apart for the last sixty
years, and both died within the same
hour.

about rs head of hogs went at high

SHAH OF PERSIA 5
CASE HOPELESS
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

TEHERAN, Dec. 2-The situation
has suddenly altered and, owing to the
fact that the Shah continues in a
critical condition. the Ministers held a
meeting at which they decided to call
upon the Crown Prince to come here as
soon as he could from Tabriz They
accordingly asked him to come here
with all the speed possible to take his
fathers place. The Crown Prince is
now on his way here.
The Shahis condition has changed for
the worse. DR.. Damsch's optimistic
predictions are not justified, and he
has accomplished nothing at ALL Not
only is he himself convinced that his
further presence here is useless, but
he suggests leaving for home before
the expiration of the time agreed upon
for his stay. The other doctors saw
that DR.. Damsch first threw all the
responsibility upon them, saying that
their treatment was wrong. Now he
himself is trying TO get away so as to
avoid responsibility. He has returned
the huge fee which he had accepted
for the treatment of the Shah.

CARS COLLIDE on HILL

On steep Grade

The sole occupant OF a runaway car
on the FiIImore-street hill last night,

post while the car sped from Green

by colliding with another car on the

was fractured and he was severely

Emergency Hospital in a precarious
condition.
The conductor Of the runaway car
jumped when it started down the hill
at Green street On the car which was
struck had been the crew and a woman
passenger. who jumped to safety.
The cause Of the accident, which hap
pened at e:45 o'clock, was the parting
OF the attachment to the cable which
propels the cars on the Fnlmore-street
hill Meyerhon had taken his car, No.
7ss, safely down the hill. and the con-
6uctor was about TO unfasten it from
the cable when the coupling broke and
the flight began. There is a steep
drop from Green street 70 Union, and
over that stretch the car gained terrific
momentum.
Meyerhon made frantic efforts to con-
troll his car, but the brakes were
totally Inadequate to control the run
away. The car swept down the hill
and crashed into car No. 40. which was
waiting for it and had been deserted
by the crew. The two cars were badly
wrecked. Meyerhoh was removed from

the seats of the members of the Cuban
Congress elected in 1905 will be de-
clared vacant"
This was the announcement by Gov
ernor Magoon today to twenty five
of Representatives., whom he had in
vited to attend a conference in the
palace. After reviewing all facts de-
veloped by the peace commission sent
to Cuba by President Roosevelt in re-
sponse to President Palma's appeal for
Intervention, Governor Magoon called
the attention of the members to the
fact that the determination as to the
status of the Congress had been re-
served by the peace commission for
consideration at Washington. He then
communicated to them the final de-
termination of President Roosevelt
that the seats of all Senator'S and
representatives elected in 1908 shall
be considered vacant from October -,
1905, the vacancies thereby created be-
ing filed by an election under the pro-
visional government In accordance
with the proclamation of Governor
Taft September 29.
The first series of Senators and Rep
resentatives elected in 1904 will be
continued in office If moral peace
restored to such an extent that an cleo
tion for the vacated seats may be held
during 1907, and there may be at the
same time an election of the sue
cessors Of Representatives whose terms
expire December 81, 1907, without
shortening these terms, thus avoiding
the necessity for two elections The
salaries of the ousted members will be
paid to October IL, the date fixed by
the peace commission.
After all the facts had been placed
before them, Senators Dolz and Ia
mayo spoke in behalf of their col

TREATY MAY NOT

Eminent Authority Takes
Ground That Courts Will

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.--Some Con-
gressmen hold that the treaty rights
under which Japan is making her claim
under the constitution are paramount
to the laws of the State. Others take
the view that the mana cement of the
California schools is something with
which the Federal Government cannot
interfere by treaty or otherwise. 1t is
generally agreed that the courts should
first pass upon the matter, but the
majority are satisfied that the courts
will find adversely to the Japanese
Senator Rayner of Maryland, former
" a member of the committee on for
eign affairs of the House. and whose
legal abilities are ranked high by his
colleagues, said:
81 give 1T as my opinion that the
treaty between the United States and
Japan does not cover this case at all,
and 1 am satisfied upon the proper in
terpretation of the treaty, IL the case
should come to the courts, they will
hold that the privilege now claimed by
Japanese is not granted by any clause
of the treaty.
GOVERNMENTS Is PowEaTEss
"The United States has no power un-
der the constitution to grant privilege
of this sort. We need not look to the
constitution, it Is true. for the au-
thority to make a treaty. because ar
ticle provides treaties may be made
under the authority of the United
States and shall be the supreme law
of the land. But while we need not
look to the constitution for the right
to make a treaty, we evidently cannot
violate the constitution In any treaty
we make, because article 10 OF the
constitution also provides that the pow
ers not delegated to the United States
by the constitution are reserved to the
States and there is no power delegated
to the United States by the constitution
to cover case of this kind
Representative Foster of Vermont,
member of the House committee on
foreign affairs. said:
The Japanese question doubtless
is due to misrepresentation as to what
rights the treaty confers. AS a legal
question its determination ought not
to be difficult of solution
Representative Howard of Georgia,
a Democratic member Of the commit
tee on foreign affairs, said:
