SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. IL
Flotsam cast up on the shore south
of the Golden Gate, and the presence
outside the heads of German cruiN
er standing on and off, proved either
that British warship had cleared IN
haste for action or that she had been
torn by an explosion.
There was evidence to support
either theory, but the definitely es-
tablished fact that the British pro-
tected cruiser Rainbow, now in the
service of the Dominion OF Canada
did clear for action when she left
here early last Saturday seemed to
out weigh the most positive opinion
of those who critically examined the
wreckagc.
The brass door plates had come
from British warship. The badly
splintcred condition of the wood
work and the twisted and tangled
metal fittings attached to it, together
with the fact that nowhere could be
found any marks OF hammer, chisel
or crowbar, made those who viewed
It positive that it had been torn loose
by an explosion.
On the other hand came word from
the Canadian naval station at Esqui-
malt that the Rainbow was known to
have cleared for action. Captain Gron-

Chief Justice Talbot Files His
Opinion In State Water Case

The question of the constitutionali-
ty OF the water law OF Nevada receiv-
ed another contribution yesterday
when Chief Justice Talbot filed an
dl1m opinion given on the recent &C
ton in the case. The chief justice
Concurs in both orders made in the
two cases, denying a writ of prohibi-
ton in the Ormsby county case and
limiting the injunction in the Hum
bOldt county case, and he proceeds to
discuss the constitutional phases.
The opinion in general is to the ef-
feet that power validly conferred on
the state engineer is limited to admin
istrative functions and does not ex-
terd to judicial determinations. This
is based on a consideration of two
parts OF the act, one apparently Civ
lrg the engineer power to record de-
CreeS at variance with vested rights.
and another apparently giving his
status as a court from which an ap-
peal to the District court would liz.
The opinion fails to find authority ib
the constitution for the exercise of
eitlier of these powers.
AS to the power of the state en-
gineer, Chief Justice Talbot says the
state engineer may proceed by taking
evidence and otherwise to determine
the relative rights of water-users and
then he attacks the question whether
Al, -, L.,
have the force of final adjudications.
Concerning section "a of the act he
says:
1T is attempted to make the deter
n,ination Of the state engineer final
adjudication if there is no rehearing
or appeal, but it is not apparent the
constitution will allow it to have
that effect for it woulH
have the effect of comforting judicial
power upon him, something the con-
stituton does not permit"
On another phase the opinion says,
* AS the constitution linn
its the judicial power in this state to
the supreme, district, justice, city and
municipal courts, it follows that it
does not provide for an appeal to the
district court from the decision of
any tribunal not mentioned in that
document The fact that the statute
provides for an appeal cannot make
the determination of the state engin-
eer binding, as a final adjudication of
water rights or endow him with judi
cial power to make a final determine

FOOD PRICES co SOARING AS
RESULT Of WAR IN EUROPE

CHICAGO, Aug 12.-War prices
for food continued to spread over
the entire central west today.
Four proposed congressional in
auiries to determine why prices
should go up in the face OF the rec
ord breaking harvest and the cutting
off of European markets failed TO
check the advance.
One OF the causes given for the ad-
vance was that farmers and stock
raisers are holding their products IN
the hope that the demand from
Europe, il it can be filled, will send
prices to new high level.

CRUISER EITHER STRIPPED FOR
ACTION Or EXPLOSION OCCURRED

morning the Rainbow had laid too
outside the harbor just after passing !
out She might have been strippin Z
her hull of inhammable woodwolS x
then.
If an explosion there was it could
not have been on board the Rainbow
for she was sighted last night off
Cape Mendocino. 1875 miles north Of
here. Those who clung to the ex-
plosion theory argued that the sloop
OF war Shearwater had been in
trouble. The only other British ves-
sci on the Pacific coast is the sloop
Algerine, last reported at Mazatlan.
The Shearwater left San Diego Aug
ust 3.
The German cruiser standing off
this harbor was identified by the
American bark. r. p. Rithet as the
Leipsic. The bark passed near
enough to make the name clearly
legible
The captain of the bark r. P. Rith-
G. also reported that he had passed
mass of wreckage floating several
miles off Point Bonita, which, it is
believed, is from the same vessel as
that cast up on the beach south of
the Golden Gate last night and to-
day. Officials of the Point Bonita
life saving station reported that no
wreckage had been washed ashore
along the northern beaches within
several miles.

that when the kaiser returned to Ber-

The kaiser flew into a terrible rage
and summoned his son. In the scene
which followed he rushed at the

Silver has gradually declined firm
