The officials Of the weather bureau said
today that nothing has been heard from
the observation balloon which broke from
its moorings at the meteorological station
at Mount Weather. Va, yesterday. The
lost balloon is spherical one, twelve feet
in diameter. 1t carries certain meteorolog-

After breaking loose from it's mooringa
yesterday the balloon sailed off in the di-

higher and higher until an altitude OF
more than a mile was reached. It was
filed with hydrogen gas and may stay In

Prof Garriott of the weather bureau

rection the stray balloon will go off to sea
and be lost. He has no hopes of Its re-

United States Interested in PERT
Bolivia Controversy.

BUENOS AIRES, July 23.-Frequent
conferences are being held between the
minister of foreign affairs and the min
listers of the United States and Peru
Much reserve is shown as to the subjects
under consideration. but il is evident that
the conferences relate to the avoidance
of a conflict between Peru and Bolivia
It is hoped 10 accomplish this end by
securing direct negotiations between
these two countries. looking toward a
definitive adjustment Of the boundary
controversy.
II is maintained, however, that in any
event Bolivia should first recognize the
arbitration award made by the president
of the Argentine Republic, and also give
Argentina adequate satisfaction for re-
cent indignities.
After Bolivia has taken this preliminary
action IL will remain for Bolivia and Peru
TO take up the boundary question further
and adjust il according to their desires.

Mr.. Ambrose goes into a detailed state
ment of the attempts made by him to
recover the books from Miller, which
were published last summer. The efforts
eliminated in the issuance of warrant
for the arrest of Miller on the charge
of taking away the books and records
of the association. Miller gave bail in
the sum of 5000 on this charge. and
was later indicted by the grand jury on
the same charge.
The receiver also tells of the recent

Since the passage of the Hepburn law
there has been some discussion about CIV
ing equitable rates to large and small ship
pers alike. Such rates always have been
in effect and are recognized by the Inter-
state Commerce commission on the same
principle that wholesale prices for large
quantities are less than the retail prices
for small amounts.
Some maintain that this is discrimination
in favor of the big shipper who is able to
handle carload lots at one time while the
small shipper can only ship small eonsign.
ments at a time. The commission has in
timated that such rates are OF doubtful
fairness because of the comparatively small
number of those who could take advantage
Of the cheaper rates. 1t is thought by
some that Mr.. S%tickney's letter may be
an opening wedge which may bring about
an investigation which may lead to a

ORDINANCE STANDS
Council Refuses to Adopt Amendment
Of Councilman Jensen.
wATERwoRKs soUABBLE ECHO
Paving of Hill street Ordered aud
NO Mains on h streets, nnd
NO Prospect of Securing
Any Now.

For the second time within a week the
city council last night refused to pass
Councilman Jensen's amendment to the
recently. enacted pure milk ordinance
Councilman Olson alone voted with Mr..
Jensen in favor Of the amendment, which
was intended to provide more liberal con-
ditions for pasteurization than prevailed In
the original measure.
The common carriers ordinance,
amended 80 as to include automobiles and
other motor vehicles rented for hire, was
again laid over as Councilman Morgan
objected 20 taking any action in tho
matter until he had been provided with
a copy Of the amended ordinance.
Councilman Younksrman's ordinance in
tended TO regulate dry cleaning establish
msnts, It was stated, was not yet ready
to present to the council.
An ordinance placing the curbins on Six
teenth avenue between Main and Eighth
streets fourteen feet from the property
line was passed under the suspension of
the rules. An ordinance reducing the
width OF the roadway on Hyde avenue
between Benton and Harrison streets In
order TO reduo the cost Of paving was
also passed under suspension Of the rules.
Councilman Olson withdrew his opposi-
NNpn, NOhlAa NJ AZ M9@NAAA ANaN NNNAt
to the paving Of Hyde venue and the
resolution calling for this improvement and
includlngl the paving OF Madison avenue
between stahl street and Palmer avenue,
was adopted.
A predieamsnt arising from the failure OF
the city council to reach some settlement
Of the long-pending waterworks question
developed last night in connection with the
paving Of Nicholas street, which has been
ordered for this fall. Councilman Morgan
called attention to the fact that there was
no water main on this street and he
| thought one should be laid before the paw
ing was put down. Mr.. Morgan, however,
failed 70 explain by whom this main should
be laid. As matters now stand, 1t looks
very much as II the property owners on
Nicholas street win have TO wait until the
city builds its municipal water plant be-
fore they get o main on their street. This
same question Is liable to come up later
in connection with the paving Of other hill
streets.
The street railway company, in a com
~munioation to the city council, says 1t faili
to see the need Of a guard rail between III
tracks and Indian creek on East Broad
way. The company says it intends laying
heavier steel on East Broadway and thii
will max the track perfectly safe. Tit
council decided to differ from the stree
railway company, and the city clerk wal
instructed to again notify the company t.
comply with the order requiring the cree
ton of the protecting guard rail.
A resolution was adopted changing thu
date of the regular meeting In Septembe
from Monday September 8, which will b,
Labor day. to Tuesday, September I,
The council will meet Thursday afterr
noon as a committee OF the whole.
