City Engineer Ziesemer Bases
Estimates on Same Type of

E0uABLE PLANS FOR
SHARING EXPENSES
Railway Company Would Attend
to Its Track While Property
Owners and City Would Pay
for Remaining Work

Estimates of the probable cost to
property owners of the proposed paw
ing of upper Main street have been Sc
cured from City Engineer Ziezemer
by the Commercial Club I'm connection
with it's undertaking TO ascertain the
sentiments of adjacent property as to
the project The figures are based
upon the expense of paving the Bis.
bee-Waren road and for the same
type OF pavement 1t would require
pavement of such a type to carry
the heavy traffic of that thoroughfare.
The burden would not fall heavily on
the property owners.
The paving proposition as tentative
ly submitted by the Commercial Club
to the city engineer calls for the paw
ing of upper Main street from the
end OF the brick paving to the Masonic
Temple, distance of 4SO lineal feet
The street railway company would
bear the expense of paving between
It's tracks and two feet either side.
The balance oi expense is divided
four htths to the property owners and
one fifth TO the city Under the inn
proyement practically every important
business house of every description on
Main street would front upon % paved
street
city Engineer Ziezemer estimates
that the proposed paving viii require
$50 vars of cXcavating to establish
proper and eyen grade. There are
1868 yards of paving of which $40
fall to the street railway company and
l25S to the city and property owners.
The total cost of the proposed inn
proyemcnt is $3.50
Going further into the apportion-
ment of the cost of paving Mr. ZiezC-
mer shows that the cost of laying a
rock base paving with btulithio sur
face would be S14OO to the street rail
way, S576 to the city and S2320 to the
property owners on both sides of the
street On each side OF the street the
property owners would bear half Of
the latter amount or S1152. There
are i8O front feet presented on each
side of the street which makes tho
cost TO each property owner approx
imatcly S24O for each foot of front
age of his lot
Mr. Ziezcmer believes that the
street railway should lay a cement
base for the paving i'm the track on
Subway street cement was laid be
tween the track and the result has
been that the paving has stood far
better than did the Main street brick
paving But If the project lis carried
out. the character of base to the
Street Railways portion woul lie with
the railway except that it must be
either of crushed rock or of cement
In the latter event the expense to tho
company would be somewhat greater.

No Recognition

Selection of Provisional PreSi-

United States Will Let Island
Republic Alone at the Present.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 12- Recogni-
tion by the United States to tho gov
ernment OF Haiti to be set up by
President Dartiguenaye, elected today
by the National Assembly, win not be
considered until the new executive
has demonstrated his ability to guar
aEtee the maintenance of peace and
the security of life and property, and
the adjustment of outstanding foreign
indebtedness. Meantime the naval
forces under Rear Admiral Caperton
remain in control Of the situation on
the island.
Lansing explained that the admin
istration Of Haitien customs. by naval
officers, was temporary arrange
ment to prevent the revenues falling
into irresponsible hands; that the
State Department had made no pro-
visions for establishing permanent
system of American control or super
vision of Haitis customs. Such a
system would have to be authorized
in a treaty and it is probable steps
in that direction will be taken as soon
as the government on the the island
has been recognized

WASHINGTON, Aug. y. (Spe-
ciaD General Hugh l.. Scott, chief Of
staff of the IT, s. srmy and noted In
dian tanner, may be the man to con
ciliate the various warning factions
in Mexico and bring peace to that
distraught republic. With Scott now
on the border, il is not likely that the
government will ask him to attemp
the tremendous task of restoring or
derly government to Mexico without
armed Intervention.
General Scott is regarded as the
best man in America to undertake
this task. As head of the American
army he would command respect from
all factions. He has already shown
his ability to handle villa
one of the first undertakings Of
General Scott-il he is given full
power to act in Mexico-will be to
induce Carranza, Villa and other revo-
lutionary bosses TO unite on tenn
porary president, who will carry out
the work of reconstruction. Three
men are under consideration. These
are Lasturain. Tagle and Hernandez.
All We're members of the Madero cab
met.
Lascurain, who was foreign minis
ter in the last established government
OF Mexico, is regarded as the best
man for the work of restoring order
and establishing a constitution. He
is friendly with neither Carranza nor
villa Indeed, Villa opposes him. The
former brigand of the Chihuahua
mountains prefers Tagle, who is said
to be physically incapacitated
1t is not improbable. therefore, that
if villa rejects I.ascurain and the lead
ers opposed TO villa reject Tagle, Her
nandez may find popular support
enough to insure his selection. Her
nandez, however, is not viewed with
favor by the more responsible citizens
Of Mexico, who do not regard him as
being very much better than villa

President Returns From Cornish
and With Lansing Is inclined
to View the Situation in a Very
Hopeful Manner.
SHIPS TO SOUTH AND
TROOPS TO THE BORDER
Villa Wiling to Hold Peace Con-
ference: Carranza BalkS and
Refuses to Have Anything to
Do With His Opponents.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The Pres
ident. on his return from Cornish,
was given a comprehensive account
of the Mexican situation in all its
phases by Lansing.
The Secretary told the President
that official reports indicated the sit
uation in the vicinity of Brownsville
was of a local character and that qui-
ct prevailed in Vera Cruz where there
had been some antiforeign deminstra-
tions. He outlined I'm detail the dis
cussion Of peace plans at the New
York conference yesterday Of the
American diplomats Neither the
President nor Lansing are inclined to
view the situation as requiring fur
ther precautionary measures than
those taken I'm sending the battle
ships TO Mexican waters, and more
federal troops to the Texas border.
The appeal to an factions will be
sent as soon as the list of chiefs,
generals and governors is completed.
1t will be telegraphed, simultaneous
ly to all parts of Mexico. With villa
announcing his Willingness to sign a
three months armistice for a peace
conference. came the word that Car
rama is unwilling to enter any peace
conference.
The Villa agency here announced
tonight that Carranza had fatty re-
fused to enter peace conference. En-
rique Llorente, the Washington rep
resentatiye of villa. gave out the let
tiers which passed between him and
Eliseo Arredondo, the Carranza rep
resentative
Lorente began the correspondence

Douglas, counsel for Carranza, had
fled a brief with the State Depart

sentatives saying that either or both
OF them. ] am assured, would be glad
TO confer with any element Of the
Mexican people with q view to fur
thering the common interest, peace
and welfare of the nation"
Llorente promptly telegraphed Villa
and was instructed to begin a discus
sion of peace terms. Arredondo re-
piled he would refer the matter to
Carranza whose response came in
the form Of instructions not to enter
into negotiations with the Villa agent.
The Carranza message set forth there
could be no negotiations with the
Villa forces because their troops on
July II attacked a military convoy
train killing many innocent people.
Llorente declared tonight the Doug
las statement was made several
weeks after this incident is alleged
TO have occurred Lansing revealed
that Villa recently informed the State
Department he was willing TO sign
an armistice Of three months or long.

IS BUT LITTLE HOPE
One Letter Sent Protesting Firm

In Stamp Matter.

No indication has been given at
Washington that there will be any re
versal in the decision to abolish the
stamp office at Keokuk. which was
closed on June 80. The protest Of tho
local stamp users was forwarded to
Washington, and was placed in the
hands Of one of the commissioners
t. ere Nothing has been heard from
him in regard to this.
The Gate City has made inquiry at
the office Of collector for the third dis
trict Of Iowa, as to whether any adj
vices had been received in the Keokuls
matter at that office. Louis Murphy,
collector for this district, states in a
letter that
Washington has given no 1ndica-
ton of its purpose to reconsider the
decision made prior to July l. and
have no advice whatsoever indicating
that there is likelihood of reversal
OF action taken
In a letter written on June "a to one
of the local firms which entered

the deputy informed this firm that
Collector Murphy would be duly az
y;sed. So in this case there may be
little glimmer of hope left for the To-
cal office, inasmuch as the collector
has received no definite Information
in either direction.

CHICAGO, July 10.-The continued
had weather and a markedly strong
Liverpool market had most to do with
keeping wheat firm during the week
closed today. There were several
davs when the market showed consid-
cradle weakness, only to be followed
nv a buying rally like that OF today
for instance, which at one time car
ried prices to 1924, 104B and l0i ~.
At the close, however, prices today
closed lower by q, Il and Is tnan
last Saturdays closing figures. the
generally firm tone was noteworthy
in the face of the government crop
report.
The spasmodic wheat strength and
an individual strength developed by
strong foreign market and good buy
ing here. made corn prices higher
this week. At the close today, al.
vances of 2, 1a4 and q were noted
over last Saturdays close.
Oats values closed today up hs Tor
Julv and unchanged for September
and December, compared with last
SATURDAYS close. The strength or
other grains and fairly good buying
all week. were the chief factors.
Provisions were very sharply lower
this. week and closed today lower by

decline on July pork.
