To RAISE LAKE ERIE.
After Ten Years Report Made Favor
ing Submerged Dam.

Washington, June 2S.-After more
than ten years investigation the in
ternatiOnal waterways comm tee
through the president recommended
to congress the constructor of a sub
merged dam or weir in the Niagara
river, to raise the level of Lake Erie
and its upper waters. The commission
stated the value of the proposed work
to Lake Erie ports could hardly be
estimated, and that it would result in
extensive improvements to harbors
and docks.
Several years ago the committee re-
ported against the advisability of con-
structing an ordinary dam across the
Niagara, because of the consequent
damage to property below the dam.
This dam would have completely regu-
lated the height of the water in Lake
Erie, but the latest plan contempIates
only partial change.
The cost of the weir and consequent
works to avoid damage to property is
estimated at S3,5O0,OO0

is again at it's full, the city electric
light plant will be shut down while

The work will require about ten days,
the foundation for the new machine

being necessary that it have time to
set before the machine is placed upon

light plant building has been cut to
permit the new machine to be moved

To Divorce Central Pacific
From Southern Pacific.

Washington, June 2S.-Attorpey Cen
eral McReynolds and represent ,tives of
the Union Pacific, it was afin ely
learned today, have reached 2 n ag ae-
ment for the dissolution of le at
Hartman merger. The - -.ciples of
the plan are in harmony with the views
of President Wilson and he is expected
to approve.
1t will be submitte, Monday to the
judges of the United states court for
the Eighth circuit at st. Paul.
The plan will g. to the court with
the governments approval, qualified
only by a request that the judges give
a limited time before entering a final
decree. during which the government
may possibly make objections which
can not now be foreseen. Attorney
General McReynolds does not expect
to go to St. Paul, but will send G.
Carroll Todd, special assistant, who
has been associated in the negotia-
tions.
The expiration of the time for evolv-
ing a plan dissolving the IAion Pacific
merger is only three days off. 1t was
to avoid a government receivership for
the great combination that President
Wilson and Attorney General Mercy
no!ds pursued their efforts at agree
ment today.
is to issue a decree on July 1. Officials,
between conferences, today declared
that prospects for an agreement con-
tinued good. The president having
upset his personal plans for a weeks
vacation, delved into the intricate de-
tails of the disintegration. Attorney
General McReynolds continued con-
ferences with Paul D. Cravath, coun-
sed for the Union Pacific. CraVath
had planned to return to New York yes
terday but remained in Washington
hoping t. complete the negotiations
It is generally understood that,
apart from the dissolution, the attorney
general later will begin proceedings
under the Sherman faw to- separate
the Central Pacific from the Southern
Pacific. The supreme court did not
decide that question in the Union Pa
cific case, but held that nothing in its
mandate should prejudice future at
tempts by negotiations or litigation
to several the Central Pacific from it's
parent.
The proposal by which the Union Pa
cific would give $38 000, 900 of it's hold
ings in Southern Pacific to the Penn
sylvania for the latter's interest in the
Baltimore & Ohio is favorably regard
ed, and today's consideration related
primarily to the suggestion of placing
the remaining $SS, 900 of Southern
Pacific stocks in the hands of a trust
company, to be sold within a reasonable
time and under such conditions as will
prevent the shareholders Of the Union
Pacific from acquiring any substantial
proportion of the Southern Pacific The
government has contended, and the su-
preme court has sustained the conten-
ton that no adequate dissolution can
be accomplished simply by a transfer
of the ownership of any great block of

1T IS awful HOT.
Needle on Its Way to the 100 Mark
Today.

All Kansas is sweltering today.
The weather is sultry and the ther-
mometer climbing at rapid pace. In
dications are that the mercury will
be in the neighborhood of the 100
degree mark before the close of the
day. The maximum temperature Fri
day was SO degrees.
There is no relief in sight More
fair and hot weather is scheduled.
The thermometer at 10 o'clock this
morning registered Sc degrees and
was rising at a fast pace. The wind
is blowing from the south at a pace
ranging from IL to rs miles.
This is good weather for wheat
harvesting, and the alfalfa is grow
ing with leaps and bounds. Corn is
not suffering as yet, but will need
moisture in two or three days. The
weather, however, is hard on vege-
tables.
There has been no rain in Kansas
or western Missouri in the last three
days.
The forecast calls for fair weather
tonight and Sunday and continued
warm. Tomorrow will have the same
weather conditions as today No rain
fall has been reported in Kansas for
several days.

Perp1exing Problems of Success
Face Democrats.
Too Many Candidates for SEN
atOr Next Year.
MUDDLED and MIXED
Half Dozen Big and Able Men
Want Place.
NOn-Partisan Judiciary and Su-
preme Court Candidates.

The Democrats are apparently hav-
ing but little more success in disposing
of their political troubles than are their
common enemy, the Republicans. Just
at this time the United States sena-
torial fight promises to create more dis
turbance and dissension in Democratic
ranks than any one other contest.
Henderson S. Martin, former chair
man of the Democratic state COM
mittee, has never really announced his
senatorial candidacy. Yet Martin has
not apparently overlooked anything
and his name is on the slate as one Of
the candidates who will go under the
wire in the August 1915 primaries.

nolds had been in perfect accord all
along to reach an agreement for the
dissolution, provided plan could be
evolved that would meet the demands
of the Sherman law. 1t was declared
that while there had never been any
tendency to place obstacles in the way
of an agreement the administration
had insisted upon an adequate disso-
luton
The plan evolved, it is believed will
accomplish it, but the government takes
the precaution of asking for limited
time within which to make objections,
SO that in case public discussion OF
the proposition and further study by
officials shows any weaknesses, the

short tons. valued at $7,5y3,594. in
1911, according to e. w. Parker, OF

The increase in 1912 was 213.9bS tons,

tanned in 1912 second place in the
rank of coke producing states, having
superseded West Virginia in 1911.
The average price per ton for Ala
hama coke has declined from 2.S2
in 1910 to So in 1911 and S2.72 in
1912 This does not necessarily in
dictate an actual decline In the price

owned by the same interests owning
and operating the coal mines and coke
ovens, and the placing of a value on

counting. The value per ton Of the
coke produced in 1912 was lower in
spite of the fact that the value OF
the coal used advanced from 81 Is in
1911 to 1885 in 1919.
That Alabama has developed her
coking industry along the lines Of
modern practice is evinced by the
fact that in each Of the last three
years the only new ovens under con-
struction on December 81 were retort
ovens, none Of the wasteful beehive
type having been installed. Morrow

retort ovens under construction at
