WASHINGTON. July 17.-Just which
foreign power had Inquired (or a defini
tion of this government's attitude In tho
present situation was still unknown offi
cially today, though reports in official
circles mentioned Gre"at Britain and
France. Tho denial from Berlin that
Germany had made representations was
generally accepted as removing that
cbUntry from the list. The roport that
the situation had been discussed by the
Powers In Parts yesterday strengthened
tbo belief that France was Interested.
It was pointed out that France has
heavy Interests 'In .Mexico. French lntcr-
csts are said' to control the Mexican Na
Uonal bank, the Banco Central, .another
large financial Institution, and French in
vestors" are sold to have- heavy holdings
of Mexican railroad securities. Great
Britain's Interests are said to bo prin
cipally In the National Hallways and In
mining. Germany's Interests are said to
lie .largely In agriculture and a nation
wide tnafdware business.

.yhjlo American losses are believed to
have , been greatest In the revolution,
English .losses also nave been heavy,
through destruction of railroad property.

bow. after being: assisted by tugs to its
wharf In the rlvor, finally sank. .No one
was killed or Injured. Tho flnanoial loss
on the Iowa and its cargo, it la said, will
be heavy.
Both ships wero heavily laden with
freight. The Iowa had: made -dock and
discharged Its, passengers and was on Its
way to another wharf to - discharge
freight. As It swung broadside' tho She
boygan loomed out of the fog. Before
the crew of the Iowa had fairly sighted
the oncoming craft It was upon them.
Hole Torn In Side.
There .was a splintering crash as the
Sheboygan struck the starboard bow of
the Iowa about twenty feett forward of
the pilot house. The Iowa careened, and,
as It righted itself, the battered nose
of the Sheboygan swung clear and dis
closed the hole In the Bide of the Iowa.
The water rushed into its hold and the
vessel began to sink by the head.
River tugs came to the aid of tho Iowa,
threw lines over It and under full steam
started for a dodk In North Water Btrcet,
while the crew strained' at the pumps.
The Sheboygan, which had also die
charged Its passengers, was In better
shape and prepared to stand by and glvo
aid If the Iowa sank. The life saving
crew from the mouth of the river came
along side In a motor life boat.
Ship Sink (lulckly.
The Iowa kept settling and It was,
feared that any moment It would sink;
It was swaying when the tugs warped
It Into the dock. Emergency freight
handlers waiting rushed on board to re
move as much ot the cargo as possible.
The pumps were powerless against the
water rushing in by tops. Finally the
lookout cried an alarm and the freight
handlers and crew leaped for the wharf.
Within a minute the Iowa broke lts moor
ings and sank. Most of the cargo went
down with the boat- W. Thorpe, vice
president and general manager' of the
Goodrich company, said that the loss
would be heavy. After it sank, only the
upper works of the Iowa showed above.
The Iowa, which was built in for
the Goodrich Transit company, is 302
feet long and haa a . gross tonnage ot
1,157.
The Sheboygan is' 39 feet in length,
but of lighter tonnage.

aro particularly anxious, as an asso

not wish to be active In any way ex
cept whero their activities will be toward
tho betterment ot business conditions of
the.rctollcf and his customers.
The above being our position, we would

in regard to the actions of the retailers
at their last monthly meeting respecting
tho proposed charter for Omaha,
At thst meeting the secretary made a

Instead of the retail merchants of
Omaha being 'dead set' against the
charter, tho majority favors It," said
Tom Qulnlan, general manager ofliay
den Brothers's department store. "I fa
vor the charter, T. P. Redmond of the
Brandels stores Is in favor Ift It, and I
can name any number of business men
who are for the charter.
Another member of the Omaha anocla
tton of retailers stated that it looked as
though Secretary Metcalfe were try In if
to use the association to back up his per
sonal views. Mr, Metcalfe Is against tho
charter, being one of the members of
tho charter board board who refused to
sign it, but no action or approval from
the retailers association has been had.
Instead, when the discussion arose, ttu
members refused to express themselves
at the time because they asserted that
thoy were not well neough acquainted
with the charter contonts.
Now that many of them have ac
qualnted themselves with various fea
tures the charter contains they are fa
voring it openly.
