ROSEBURG Roosevelt Sends Another Mes- ' sage to Congrpss AIMED AT EDITOR PULITZER New York World Insinuated Tbat Some body Grafted $20,000,000 on Canal Pnrcoase Special to the Evening Review. WASHINGTON, Dec. 16. Asking H the government to prosecute Joseph Pulitzer, publisher of the New York World, for libel upon the ground that tbe good name of the United States bad been besmirched in connection with charges of fraud In the purchase of the Panama Canal rights of a French company, for $40,000,000, President Roosevelt today sent a vig orously worded message to Congress, accompanying it with all the records and documents involved in the trans action. The message says In part: "In view of the constant reitera tion of the assertion that there was some corrupt action by or on behalf of the United States government In the acquisition of the canal rights, I deem it wise to submit to congress all the information I have. The Btories were first brought to my at tention as published in the Indian apolis News. These stories are scur rilous, libelous and false. Do In van Smith, the publisher of the Indian apolis News, sheltered himself behind the excuse that he accepted the statements of the New York World. The real offender is Pulitzer. A great Injury is blackening the good name fjf the American people, and it should iTot be left for a private citizen to sue Pulitzer; he should be prosecut ed for libel by the government.'

The con clusions of The World as to the dis posal of the remaining $20,000,000 form the alleged basis for the libel suit. Regarded a a Joke. In the senate the president's mes sage was enjoyed as a huge joke, particularly that part of the message regarding the purchase. Fairbanks lessened the merriment to some de gree by rapping for order, and after the pesonal part of the message had been read the senators paid no fur ther attention, neither would they listen to the details of the purchase.

ADOPT WYOMING LAW. Oregon Legislature Will Ilnve 1 till for Administrative Wadr System. PORTLAND, Or., Dec. 15. A bill will be presented to the Oregon leg islature this winter asking for an ad ministrative water system in this state. This was assured yesterday at au extended conference between the members of the Oregon Conservation Commission and the various water users of the state. The proposed law will be modelled after that it) force in Wyoming, where water rights are adjudicated and determined by a state board of control and regulated by the same authority. In the oper ation of such a law, vested rights al ready adjudicated by the courts, will not be disturbed. Under the. Wyoming law the state has a board of control by which wa ter rights are established and regu lated. This "board oncsists of five members, appointed by the governor. Appointees on the board must first have passed an examination conduct ed by the State Engineer before be coming eligible to serve; When tbe board has adjusted the rights of con flicting interests of the water supply in any stream, the party dissatisfied with the adjustment has the right within 60 days to appeal from the decision of the board to the courts. The expense of Buch an administra tion of the water system of his state is between between $20,000 and $25, 000, while the service concerned not less than 20,000 consumers. Under the operation of the Wyoming law, the longest time required for the ad justment of any. controversy respect ing the appropriation of water from a stream was only 18 months, while the system gave very general satis faction, as was evidenced from the fact that only infrequently were ap peals taken by either of the rival in terests to tho courts.
