RECLAIM ARID LAND
Irrigation Bill Is Passed by
the House.
MANY AMENDMENTS OFFERED
Only One, Except Those of the Com
mittee, "Warn Adopted Features
of the Act Last Day of"
Debate.
The House yesterday passed the Irri
gation bill by a ote of HO to 55. Many
amendments were offered, but only one,
exoept those offered by the committee,
was adopted. It was of a minor char
acter. The hill has already passed the
! Senate. The friends of the masure
Erected the announcement of II jass-
age v, ith a round of applause.
"WASHINGTON. June 13. The House to
day. Immediately after the approval of the
journal, resolved itself Into committee of
the whole and resumed the consideration
of the irrigation hill. General debate hav
ing closed yesterday, the bill was read
for amendment under the flve-mlnute rule
Grosvenor (Rep. O.) offered a substitute
for the proviso in the first section pro
viding that no part of the proceeds of the
sale of public lands under the act of
August 13, 1890 (for the endowment of ag
ricultural colleges and mechanical arts),
should be set apart or diverted to the Irri
gation fund. The proviso for which the
substitute was offered provides that in
case of a deficiency from the sale of public
lands for college purposes under the act of
1890, ouch deficiency should be paid out of
the Treasury.
Grosvenor, speaking on thls.amendment,
opposed the whole bill. He declared that
It would make the present railroad grants
four times as valuable as at present, and
would so change conditions as materially
to affect present farm land values. He
cited the case of the growing of sugar
beets. All the evidence, he said, was that
sugar from beets could be produced a cent
a pound cheaper In the irrigated section
of the West than in the East, or, he stat
ed, with extensive competition in tho
West, beet-sugar growing could not be
profitaole east of the Mississippi River.
Burkett (Rep. Neb.) followed w Ith a vig
orous speech in support of the bill. If the
millions spent to prevent the overflow of
the Lower Mississippi, he said, had been
devoted to storing water at the headwat
ers, floods would have disappeared below
and the arid lands above the headwaters
would bloom like the rose.
Robinson (Dem. Ind.), in opposing the
bill, challenged the advocates of the meas
ure to prove that its principal promoters
were not the big railroads of the Wept.
Under the present system, ho said, the
cajor portion of the fund from the sale of
lands went to the agricultural and me
chanical colleges. Under the system pro
posed by this bill the fund would be de
pleted for irrigation purposes and the col
leges would have to fall back upon the
public Treasury.
Newlands (Pop. Nev.) charged that the
Grosvenor amendment was an attempt to
defeat the whole measure. He declared
the agricultural colleges had been con
sulted In the preparation of the bill, and
were satisfied with it. These colleges
were amply protected. The bill still left
the fund from the proceeds of the sale of
lands outside the arid region for the col
leges to draw upon, and if that should
prove insufficient the deficiency would be
made up out of the Treasury.
Cannon (Rep. 111.) announced tha while
lie favored the pending amendment he
would vote against the bill. Cannon said
he wished that some machinery could be
devised by which the public lands in each
of the arid states could be turned over to
them and allow the states to work out
these Irrigation problems. The danger in
this tvhole Irrigation proposition, he said,
appeared at the very Inception of the legis
lation. Protesting that they wanted noth
ing except the proceeds of the sale of
arid lands, its advocates asked now for
tho Treasury to shoulder $1,250,000.
Something of a test of strength was
made on Shafrolh's motion limiting the
discussion on the first section. The vote
was SI to 33.
Dalzell (Rep. Pa.) criticised the bill as
violative of all recognized principles of
Federal and state power, and also as un
fair. It was a scheme, hesa!d, whereby
the arid states received the proceeds of
public land sales in those states, while the
other states were left to pay the cost of
administration for the scheme.
The Grosvenor amendment was defeated,
S5 to 76.
At 2:45 Assistant Secretary Barnes trans
mitted to the House the Cuban reciprocity
message from the President. The Speaker,
who took the chair when the message was
received, announced Jie would lay it be
fore tho House if there was no objection.
Underwood (Dcm. Ala.) objected.
Amendments to the irrigation bill to
omit the section authorizing the Secretary
of the Interior to enter upon Irrigation
projects were lost, except one offered by
Littlefleld (Rep. Me.), to provide that dif
ferent items should be divided into sec
tions and that no contract should be let
for any section of a project until the
necessary funds to pay for it were avail
able In the- reclamation fund. All the
committee amendments were adopted.
Cowherd (Dem. Mo.) concluded the de
bate with an eloquent speech picturing
the benefits which would accrue to the
arid section of the West from the passage
of tho bill.
A substitute for the whole bill offered
by Robinson (Dem. Ind.) was voted down.
The bill was passed, 146 to 55. The
Speaker's announcement of the passage of
the bill was greeted with a round' of ap
plause. The President's Cuban reciprocity mes
sage was then laid before th,e House. Its
reading was listened to attentively, but
without any demonstration whatever. At
5 o'clock the House adjourned.
The Irrigation Bill.
The irrigation bill, as passed, creates a
reclamation fund from the sale of public
lands In Arizona, California, Colorado,
Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Ne
vada, New Mexico. North Dakota. Okla
homa, Oregon. South Dakota, Utah, Wash
ington and Wyoming, less the amount to

cational purposes, the reclamation fund to
bemused for the construction and mainte
nance of irrigation works in the states
and territories enumerated. Provision is

of deficiencies in the allowances to agri
cultural colleges owing to this disposition
of public lands. The Secretary of the in
terior is authorized to examine, survey
and construct the Irrigation works and
report the cost thereof to Congress at
each session.
Section 4 provides for the letting of con
tracts for the works contemplated in sec
tions when the necessary funds are avail
able in the reclamation fund for such sec
tion. Section 5 provides that "no right to the
use of water for land In private ownership
shall be sold for a tract exceeding 1G0
acres to any one landowner and no such
right shall permanently attach until all
payments therefor are made, and no such
sale shall be made to any landowner un
less ho be an actual bona fide resident
on such land or occupant thereof, residing
In the neighborhood of such land,"
Section 6 authorizes the Secretary lo use
the reclamation fund for the operation and
maintenance of the irrigation works.
Section 8 requires state control over wat
ers of non-navigable streams, such as arc
used In irrigation.
President and -the Irrigation BUI.
WASHINGTON. June 13. President
Roosevelt used his Influence In every-possible
way to secure the enactment of tho
Irrigation bill into law at the present sea
don or Congress. His interest in tho
measure has been such that he has had a
number of conferences with Senators and
Representatives In which he urged upon
them tho necessity for such a law. Rep
resentative Mondell, of Wyoming, saw
him today, and at his request the Presi
dent wrote a personal letter to Chairman
Cannon, of the House committee on oppro
prlattonst in which he strongly expressed
his views on the subject and Indulged the
hope that early and favorable action
would be taken. Upon leaving the White
House, Mr. Mondell said that the Presi
dent had been of vast help to the irriga
tion cause, and was himself confident that
the bill drawn by the joint committee ol
Western Senators and members would
pass.

City, a place of 1500 inhabitants, was
wiped away today by fire, the loss reach

ated in a foundry and machine works. A
light wind was blowing and the fire spread

longings they could and then flee from
the awful heat. The station of the Cen

all its contents. The telegraph office,
two hotels, postoffice, saloons, livery

"During his traveling about and afterwards
his camping upon his claim, he encountered
much bad water, which, together with the
severe heat, gave him a very severe diar

so bad he expected to die. One day one

bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera

agony, and In a few minutes the dose

a sample box of sheet steel which could
bo purchased for 49 cents. Boxes now

Already $7,500,000 a year was paid for rural
delivery of mall, and he believed such
rural delivery would expand until it ex
ceeded thecost of city mall delivery. No

HIS NOMIXATIOX CONCEDED.
Senate Considers Crosier Case In
Executive Session.
WASHINGTON, June IS. With the ex
ception of a few minutes devoted to the
Teadlng of the President's message and
the time taken to confirm two nomina
tions at the beginning cf the session, tho
Senate spent the entire day in consider
ing the nominations of Captain William
Crozler to toe chief of the Bureau of Ord
nance. The principal speeches of the day
were made by Senators Cockrell and Proc
tor, tho former favoring the confirmation
and the latter opposing that course.
Senator Proctor referred at length to the
effect of the law of February 2, 190L
which, it is declared, m&kes an exception
In cases like that of Captain Crozler. Sec
tion 26 of that law provides that no per
son shall be appointed chief of staff corps
who la below the rsnk of Lieutenant
Colonel, but this provision Is accompanied
by an amendment providing for excep
tions. Tho friends of Captain Crozler
contend that these exceptions onen a way
for his appointment, but Senator Proctor
argued that such was not the case, and
declared that under the law he clearly
was Ineligible. Senatoi Proctor also re
ferred to the fact that Captain Crozler Is
the patentee of the Bufflngton-Crozier gun
carriage, and he and others who stood
with him asserted that no officer possess
ing such 'an interest should be put at the
head of a bureau which controls the Use
of such patents. He also asserted that It
was unusual to go so low as the rank of
Captain in selecting the heads of utaff
corps, and said that this proceeding had
no precedent since the Civil War,
Senator Cockrell said the appointment
had been made because of the exception
al abilities of Captain Crozler for the po
sition, and that he was In every Tray,
personally and professionally, worthy of
the compliment which the appointment
implied. He called attention to Captain
Qrozier'p record as an ordnance "officer,
and said there were many precedents for
the promotion of officers from low rank
to high. Instancing the case of General
Wood and General Bell especially. Sena
tor Proctor called attention to the fact
that Gonerals Wood and Bell were line

said, made much difference.

Senators Warren and Harris called spe

that he had realized nothing from the
foreign patents.
The session adjourned without the Sen
ate reaching a conclusion on the question
and no day was fixed for continuing con-,

matters. Captain Crozler's confirmation
is generally conceded by his, opponents.

DEATH OF AN INVENTOR.
Victim of n Mnclilne He Worked

than a quarter of a century and all hi
savings, Morltz's Invention was nn aerial

granted to operate It. all the laws of the
department being complied with. The
first car was empty and went without
any trouble. Other cars with persons in
them were sent over. The device seemed
to be working to perfection, and as the
various cars, one after another, went
down the steel slide and came up with a
round turn, Morltz looked on, his face
beaming with pleasure. He fairly shouted
with Joy. The dream of his 25 years
was realized, and his face beamed with
delight as his friends alighted from the
cars and pronounced the construction a
success and certain to make him a for
tune. Inspector Rlttenhouse and Charles Qtls,
a friend of the Inventor, rode In the last
car to be tested. Morltz stood at the
foot of the Incline. The car had nearly
reached the top, a distance of about 70
feet. There was a crackling sound, n
shout and Rlttenhouse and Otis shot back

steel dog until the top of the Incline had
been reached. It came down with great
velocity straight for the place . whero
Moritz was standing. The car was almost
upon him when he turned to get out of
the way. It was' too late. The "heavy
vehicle struck blm In the back, knock

hours later. Rlttenhouse and Otis were

MISTAKES OF SCHURMAN.
Meaning; Well, He Has Xevertheleiis
Confnned the Question.
New York Commercial Advertiser.
Nobody familiar with the President's
views on the subject of Filipino inde
pendence will question the entire accu
racy of the statement that he stands
squarely with Governor Tift, In whoso
Judgment and ability he has Implicit
confidence and for whose high character
and patriotic devotion to duty he has un
bounded admiration. What Governor
Taffs position Is, he himself outlined In
the Outlook of last week, and we quote
his words In another column. It ls not
new to our readers, for we have stated it
repeatedly. He believes It will require two
and possibly three generations to educate
the Filipinos to a proper conception of
self-government: that to promise them In
dependence now would be taken by tho
present generation as a promise to them
selves, not to their descendants, and
would set all the agltitors and Intriguers
at iork to get control of tho Independent
government when It should come, thus
paralyzing all the work of education
which ls now In progress. Governor Tnft
states the case with a clearness and force
that must carry conviction to every Im
partial mind.
Nobody has done more to confuse tho
public mind upon this subject than Pres
ident Schurman, of Cornell, who his ext
pressed himself on both sides of It with
equal emphasis. Governor Taft, in the
citation we make from the Outlook, dis
poses of this phase of the discussion very
quietly and effectively In a few sentences.
As for the "antls," who simply "holler"

for Immediate independence without re
gard to consequences, nobody much minds
them any longer. None of their various
antics hos-'been so comle as their effort to
find In President Roosevejfs Arlington
address support for their "Immediate in
dependence" demand. What he said wa3
In flat contradiction to that view, and ho
meant It to be so understood. Every now
and again these "antls" get lonesome In
their secluded and shunned lunatic asy
lum and endeivor to pull or trap some
body who ls passing by Into association
with them, but the Intended victim al
ways gets away. They tried to catch
Colonel -Henry L. HIgglnson, of Boston,
but he said, "No you don't!" and fled at
the top of his speed. They have enticed
President Schurman as far as the gite
several times, but while he Is willing to
be pleasant with them over the gate he,
too, flees when they try to get him to enter..-They
got hold of President Roose
velt's Arlington address, searched It Tilth
a magnifying glass till they found In an
unobtrusive corner of It tho word "Inde
pendence," when, like the old monk of
Siberia
They burst from their cell with a hell of
a yell,
shouting: "He's said It! He's said It!
He's used the word independence for
the first time! McKInley never did It!
Roosevelt never did It before! He's with
us! Whoop!" Think of It! Theodora
Roosevelt with the "antls," joining hands
with them against his own party and Mc
KInley and Taft and the Army, and
marching Into the future arm-In-itm with
Tllman. Carmack, Dubois, Ervlng Wins
low and Atkinson.' As the Hon. Abraham
Gruber would say: "It Is to laugh!"
