The colonel had only two types OF
stories, one concerning his amorous

while tiger shooting. 1t was night In
the mess and the colonel, as was his
wont, began to tell an exciting story
of an encounter with wounded

could reload and bore him to the
ground. At the critical moment an
orderly entered to report that the G..

on the telephone and the colonel was
compelled to break off abruptly.
He was absent for ten minutes and

his favorite stories he had been tell

NEW SUBWAY IN
 SAN FRANCISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, CaCl., Aug. 15. Construction of a vehicular sub way under the loop at the Ferry Building here to relieve congestion at one of the busiest transportation terminals in the world, will be started shortly by the State Board of Harbor Commissioners. The tube, which will be wide enough for two motor cars abreast, is expected to be completed within ten months from the time actual construction is be- gun. The cost will be s40O 900, half of which will be borne by the State, one-fourth by the Market Street Railroad Company and the remaining fourth by the city.
 Official estimate that the new subway will speed up street car traf- fic at this point 50 per cent. and accelerate the; transportation of freight from the docks on either side of the Ferry Building by 30 per cent.

RIGHT OF CITY
 TO FLOAT BOND
 ISSUE AT STAKE
Petersburg Man Brin g s Friendly Action to Clear
 Up Legal Tangle.

To clear away if possible legal ob- struetions holding. up the sale of municipal bonds being hoated to pro vide funds for the construction of a light and power plant by the City of Petersburg. Paul Lund. d resident of that town. through his attorney, H. l.. Faulkner. today filed suit in the local U. S. District Court asking for an injunction preventing the town from selling the bonds. The suit, said MT Faulkner. is friendly and for the purpose of determining the right of the city to float the issue.
 The city. several months ago, through Henry Roden, placed a bond isspe totaling $115,0OO with a Seat tie firm. Later it developed that tech nicalities would endanger the issue and in order to overcome these, if it were possible to do so, and to set- tie the matter definitely. Mir. Roden advised the Petersburg authorities to have the city's power to place the UOiIuS iGStCu tllt 1buil lS. ii' present suit is the outcome of this.
 Several questions are raised in the suit instituted today. It is asked that the Injunction be issued on account of the fact that the pro ceeds from the sale of bonds will be used to acquire property outside of the corporate limits; for the construc- ton of municipal light and power plant outside of the corporate limits; that electric power from such plant outside of the city proper to be used and consumed without the city; that the sale of the bonds would obligate the town. it's common council and officers to levy and collect annually general taxes upon all real and per sonal property in ihe town in ex- cess of the legal two per cent maxi mum, and that the revenue to be de- rived from two per cent levy on the assessed valuation of rehl and personal property would not be suf- fciept to pay the interest on and re- tire the principal of the bonds and to pay the normal expenses of run ming the city.
 It is understood that the firm with which the bonds were placed is ready to go ahead with it's agreement and that the residents of the town are anxious to put the bond issue through.

NATIONAL WHEAT BODY ADVOCATED; FIX PRICES
tConmnueu rrom rage One,

less than the basic minimum price. To make up the loss sustained on exported wheat every bushel of wheat marketed should be assessed with a differential tax. This tax would vary with the surplus pro duced. If the basic price was such that there was, an overproduction, then the tax would lower the farm CTS price to where over production would be discouraged. while if there was shortage of wheat the tax would be lessened and production stimulated.
 This plan would not interfere with the present grain trade, with the development of cooperative mar keting. nor with the chance of a price above the basic minimum to the farmer who chooses to hold his wheat until after the harvest rush. It would, without substituting agri- culture, put the labor and capital of the American farmer on a plane with the capital and labor of other industries.
 Tt would eliminate market gluts due to overproduction placing the burden of overproduction entirely up- on the farmer. The consumer of wheat in the United States would be asked to give the farmer an equal chance. Only the extremely selfish would deny this.
 Approximately six hundred mil lion bushels are. consumed at home and two hundred million bushels are exported This surplus is a mill stone around the neck of agricul- tural prices"
 The suggestion that American citi- zens sould be induced to buy wheat was denounced by Mir Madden, who said this plan would only aggravate the situation because, "it increases the amount of the surplus held in America, which sooner or later will cause prices to fall to lowcr~ levels"

THE SEA WOLF" AT COLISEUM TOMORROW

The screen version of Jack Lon. don's famous novel, sThe Sea Wolf" which will be on view for ten days commencing tomorrow at the Coli scum Theatre, is said to be replete with spectacular scenes. A ferry boat and a fishing schooner actually crash at sea- a ship founders in a fog; Wolf Larsen's vessel, "The Ghost" is .s.beaehed on a desolate island All these episodes are thrill ingly recorded by the camera. How ever. the emphasis in the picture has been laid upon the striking sto- ", which is at bottom a study in contrasts-the brutal sea captain who believes that might makes right and the aesthetic. peace-loy- ing young idler whom he rescues after a catastrophe at sea.
 , Noah Beery, a man of great phy ieal prowess, as well as talented actor, is said to do the best work of his career as Wolf Tom For man, Mabel Julienne Scott, and Ray mond Hatton are also in the cast.

The talk. accord ing to information given the press, was confined to d description by the Prince of his visit to F'ormosa while the Princess told of her trip through western Japan. The con- versation took place at a banquet given by Prince Kan-in which had been specially arranged for the purpose.
