OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash
ington, Janf 22. An effort will be made,
when the opportunity presents itself, to
secure passage through the House of a
bill recently passed by the Senate permit
ting the Secretary of the Interior to util
ize Lower Klamath, Tule and Goose Lakes
Knd all tributary waters in connection,
with the Klamath or other Irrigation
works undertaken under the National ir
rigation law. There will be opposition to
this bill In the House, however, which
may be able to prevent its passage. This
was shown by an adverse report made on
the bill by Chairman Mondell, of the irri
gation committee.
The entire committee, with the excep
tion of Mondell,. is in favor of the passage
of the bill and concur in a favorable re
port made by Representative Williamson.
In his report Williamson quotes from a
letter of the director of the Geological
Survey, urging the passage of the bill.
J.mong other things, the director says:
"The feasibility of the Klamath irrlga
I tion project, from an engineering stand
( point, is beyond question, and it is also
Dne of the cheaptest projects that has
ibeen found by the reclamation service. J
Authority Given the Secretary.
"The bill is intended to authorize the
Secretary of the Interior to so utilize
these lakes as may be necessary for the
best development of the country under
the reclamation act. This would not be
possible without specific authority from
Congress, on account of their navigable
capacity, which, while insignificant in
value, is yet such as to bring them tech
nically within the direct jurisdiction of
Congress.
"The development of this project for the
irrigation of 300,000 acres of land, about
one-half of which is public land or at
the disposition of the public, presents no
physical difficulties of any Importance.
It may be stated further that connected
Jfith this possible development is an on-
forfunity to extend the system to Include
home 90.000 acres of Irrigable land in the
Klamath Indian Reservation at some fu
ture time, when these lands may be
thrown open to settlement"
Opposition by Mondell.
The adverse report by Chairman Mon
dell indicates the line on which he will
attack the bill oa the floor. Because of
his position on the committee his oppo
sition is of more weight than it would
be otherwise, but Oregon and California
men will endeavor to override his ob
jection and put the bill through. If they
fall, it will mean that work on the Klam
ath project will be delayed at least a
year, certainly until another Congress
Fhall authorize the use of the lakes In
question. Mondell, In opposing the bill,
makes the following statement!
"This enterprise probably presents more
complications than any which has ever
been investigated by the reclamation serv
ice, including questions of riparian own.
crship. navigability of streams and in
volving reclamation of lands almost en
tirely in private ownership.
e measure is further objectionable in
that It is based upon the assumption that
the waters referred to are navigable.
"Our contention is that these bodies of
water are not navigable, and. therefore,
no action by Congress Is required. Upon
some lakes named there never has been
navigation. On others navigation Is con
fined tp occasional trips of a small, flat
bottomed scow.
Expensive Drainage Authorized.
"rurther objection .to the measure Is
that It contains the specific authority of
Congress for expensive and extensive
drainage of swamp and overflow lands
under the law that was intended to pro
vide for reclamation by irrigation. While
under the provisions of the National ir
rigation act it would undoubtedly be
proper to reclaim small areas by drainage
when such reclamation was clearly inci
dental to the project for reclamation by
irrigation, this legislation, which author
izes drainage or attempted drainage of
many thousands of acres of land. Is a
very radical and questionable extension
of the general scope of the National Irri
gation act.
"Further than this. M is proposed to au
thorize the drainage of thousands of acres
of land without knowledge in advance in
whom the title to such lands would vest
after their reclamation.
"The land proposed to be reclaimed is
very largely In private ownership. Of
ficers of the reclamation service were not
able to state definitely the amount which
is now public land, but estimated it from
20 to 25 per cent. Others who claim to
have knowledge state there Is not over S
per cent of irrigable lands .in public own
ership, and that practically all good lands
in the vicinity long since passed into pri
vate hands.
Complications in the Enterprise.
"This legislation departs from the gen
eral policy laid down in the National Irri
gation act in favor of an enterprise in
volving all manner of complications, for
the irrigation of lands largely In private
ownership and where private enterprise
has already undertaken the work of rec
lamation. A canal was started some
time ago which, it is claimed, would,
when extended, cover the major portion
of the lands proposed to be covered by
Government works.
"If the States of Oregon and California
had legislated on the subject, the riparian
owners had relinquished their claims to
lands to be uncovered and the consent of
even a considerable portion of he private
owners to come "under the terms of the
irrigation act' had been obtained. Congress
would at least be In a position to act in
teUigently, if, as a 'matter of fact, any
action by Congress is necessary to allow
the carrying out of this enterprise, pro
vided it shall be deemed feasible and
practicable, but in the present situation.
with all important questions Involved un
determined, legislation is premature, un
wise and dangerous."
SENATE TO IE C0UET.
Trial of Judge Swayne to Se Begun
This Week.
WASHINGTON, Jaa. 22. The - United
States Senate this'" week will transform
itself into a court of Justice for the trial
of the Impeachment charges against
Judge Charles Swayne. of Florida. Of
ficial Information of the action of the
House having been given, it Is expected
that notice of the Senate's readiness to
hear the charges will be conveyed to the
House Immediately after It convenes on
Monday.
The managers, on behalf of the House.
will bring themselves before the bar of
the Senate and will read the charges.
The next step in the proceedings will be
the organization of a court, but this will
probably be postponed until Tuesday.
Each of the Senators will be sworn In by
either the Chief Justice or one of the
Justices of the Supreme Court. Judge
Swayne then will be notified that the
Senate Is about to begin a trial of the
charges against him, and he will be given
a reasonable time to reply.
It is understood that after the proceed
ings are begun they will be continued
with little Interruption as possible until
their conclusion. It (s n,ot probable, how
ever, that the present week wilt witness
more than the preliminaries.
The managers of the joint statehood
bill are very hopeful of securing an
agreement to vote on that measure before
the close of the week. The opponents of
the bill do not admit this possibility, but
those Senators who feel' confident of the
acceptance of some one of the amend
ments likely to arise from the question
say that they will be prepared for a
vote as soon as the discussion is exhaust
ed. It is understood that the intention of
Senator Beveridge is to keep the bill to
the front as much as possible until it Is
voted on.
The fortifications appropriations bill,
which was pending when the Senate ad
journed on Saturday, will be taken up
again on Monday and will hold the at
tention of the Senate until disposed of.
Eulogies on the late Senator Hoar will
be delivered next Saturday.
Appropriation Bills In House.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. Unless legisla
tion for Government rate-making for the
railroads shall be Injected Into the House
next week, the legislative workdays will
be devoted to the annual appropriation
bills. No programme on the rate ques
tion has been agreed upon. However, the
introduction of the Hepburn Mil on the
subject Saturday and the long considera
tion that has been given the matter In
committee Indicate that the Hpuse will
soon be asked to give consideration to
the proposal.
The District of Columbia appropriation
bill has the right of way, and following
this the pension appropriation bill and the
Postoffice supply measure are next In line.
These measures doubtless will consume
the week, with some minor measures that
may be given a little time.
THOUSANDS WERE MURDERED
American Consul Visits Scenes of
Massacre of Armenians.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 22. The State De
partment has made public portions of an
important report recently made by Thom
as H. Norton, American Consul at Har
put, Turkey, on the results of a tour of
investigation made by him, under instruc
tions from the department through the
villages of Bitlis and Van, which were the
scenes during several months last Sum
mer of repeated attacks upon and massa
cres of Armenian Christians by the Kurds
and other elements of the Moslem popu
lation. These disturbances, attended by
frightful .atrocities and savage cruelty,
resulted in death, suffering and destitu
tion. The principal object of the isit was for
the better protection of American inter
ests, and the timely arrival of Dr. Norton,
it is saia, contributed to a peaceful ter
mination. No Americans were known to
have been Injured.
Dr. Norton says Mush Is practically an
armed camp, where Armenians are In con
stant terror. He estimates in the Sassun
district 5000 lives were lost In last Sum
mer's massacres. Including 2771 children.
Several thousand refugees who fled to
Mush were forced to return to their ruined
villages, where the vilayet authorities is
sued an allowance of 1 per cent per capita
tor to oa.
The question for the moment, he says,
is what is to be done to save the sur
viving population of Sassun. numbering
10.0CO or more, from the results of insuffi
cient protection and insufficient food. He
speaks of the American schools and Insti
tutions, and says the missionaries have
much prestige.
One salient fact, says the Consul is that
the benevolence of the citizens of the
United States has accomplished more than
the efforts of other nations combined in
advancing the moral and Intellectual wel
fare of the Armenians and other classes
in the provinces. Tribute Is paid to the
comparatively small group of American
workers. He says the tide of emigration
is directed almost exclusively to America,
and that there is an increasing .number of
American citizens, who have Interests in
the disturbed regions.

CHICAGO. Jan. 22. Several women were

thousands of excited Russian subjects who
clamored for admittance to the West Side
Auditorium to hear the news from St.
Petersburg and to listen to an address by
Mme. Kathertne Breshkowsky. the So

Auditorium was required a detail of po
licemen to keep the crowd, which had
swelled into thousands, from stampeding
and pushing those who struggled, many
of whom were crushed on the stairways
leading to the 11311.
When the doors were finally thrown
open at least a score of women, who had
fainted during the rush into the hall, were
trampled upon and more or less Injured
before they could.be rescued. All of the
injured were taken to a near-by drug

HAY SANCTIONS A STATEMENT
Demands of the European Creditors
Will Be Given Full Attention
When Order Has Succeeded
Financial Chaos.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22. After a con
sultation with Secretary Hay, the follow
ing statement regarding the situation In
Santo- Dominco was Issued by Assistant
Secretary Loomis today:
"The Dominican Republic, after ma
ture consideration of existing conditions,
has formally and freely Invited the Gov
ernment of the United States to assist In
the administration of Its customs rev
enue, and to aid in putting Its financial
system upon a firm and business-like
basis.
"The Government of the United States.
having been explicitly, repeatedly and
emphatically Informed by more than one
of the great powers that It ought cither
to try to evolve some order out of the
financial chaos in the Dominican Repub
lic.- or assent to certain Euroocan cred
Itors of that republic doing this, and to
the administration of Dominican custom
houses by them, supported by their war
ships, has deemed it advisable. In view of
the unfortunate financial conditions in
Santo Domingo, which for the last ten
years have been rapidly growing worse.
to accept the Invitation of the Dominican
government, and, therefore, representa
tlvra of this Government and of Santo
Domingo have signed a memorandum of
a proposed agreement looking to the
American control of fiscal affairs, upon
the request and with the consent of the
Dominican government.
"The United States proposes to guaran
tee the territorial Integrity of the Do
minican Republic
"It is not the purpose of this Govern
ment to assume a protectorate over San
to Domingo, or to interfere with or par
ticipate in Its domestic - affairs any fur
ther than the collection of its customs
revenues, the necessary revision of Its
tariff laws and the adjustment, through
properly constituted tribunals or com
missions, of its foreign claims and Its
economic and fiscal organization on a
sound basis may make It essential to do.
"President Morales has signed a decree,
which will be published today, in which
the Government of the United States is
officially asked to take full charge of all
the Dominican customs houses; to collect
all the revenues, -15 per cent of which are
to be returned to the Dominican govern
ment for Its current expenses. The re
mainder is to be used in the interest
charges on the bonded indebtedness and
other obligations of the republic Any
surplus will be turned over to the Domin
ican government. The obligations repre
senting the bonded indebtedness are
largely owned by foreign creditors.
The Government of the United States
does not need to guarantee the debts of
creditors of Santo Domingo, but only to
promise to try so to organize and adjust
the fiscal administration of the country
that in time their liquidation may be ac
complished automatically and on a basis
of equity toward all creditors.
"It is believed that, If the Dominican
revenues are wisely collected and dis
bursed, all the legitimate claims against
the republic will be ultimately satisfied.
"In" this connection It tni'y be added
that, under the award of the tribunal of
arbitration of July 14. 1904. between the
United States and Santo Domingo. In the
sum of S4.5W.000. the United States was
given the right eventually to take pos
session of the principal ports of the
northern side of the Island, and under
the award the fiscal agent appointed by
the United States is now In possession of
the important custom-house at Puerto
Plata. .
"The unfortunate financial condition of
Santo Domingo more than once In the
last decade has brought to the United
States Government questions fraught
with Imminent peril. The Government of
the United States could not, with duo
self-respect, allow the Impression to
deepen and gain currency tnat the Mon
roe Doctrine can be used as a shield by
American republics to deny justice to
other governments Many foreign claims
are just beyond peradventure, and being
held by citizens of various governments,
the problem became increasingly more
difficult as to how there claims could be
satisfactorily settled under existing con
ditions with fair treatment toward all.
"In some respects a still more embar
rassing feature of the situation has been
that the Dominican government has been
compelled by force to pay grossly exor
bitant claims, and the question has arisen
whether the United States should inter
nose in such cases. Such interposition
has never been resorted to. except, per
haps, once in our history.
"Another deplorable feature of the
financial situation In Santo Domingo Is
that her revenues have been crippled hv
granting, for a song, valuable conces
sions which were prompted by stipulation
of exemption from all taxation. Her in
terests have compelled the Dominican
government to disregard these promises
of exemption from taxation, and this has
resulted in numerous and Increasing ap
peals to the Department of State to In
terfere. , '
"The Dominican government Itself
reached the conclusion that Its only hope
of escape from bankruptcy was through
the assistance of the United States Gov
ernment in the organization of its flnan-
CC"in view of these grave conditions, the
President has deemed it wise at this time
to assent to the strongly expressed wish
of the Dominican government.

IK may creat a great deal of wonder
that we will consent to part with these
pianos at these tremendous reductions
when only a little labor would put them
in perfect condition. But as Is well known,
it is the policy of the Eller-s Piano House
to never sell a damaged piano at the price
of a new one. "In addition to this, our re
pair department now has its hands more
than full. and. as stated before, our ceil
ing in the main salesroom Is liable to
fall as a result of the wetting it got
through the bursting of a defective water
pipe above stairs. It was the water pour
ing through our celling which damaged
the pianos that we have been selling at
such tremendous reductions the past few
days. The four that remain will go today.
This sale, which commenced only last
Friday morning, has created a tremen

have without exception been delighted

and should any defect develop In the piano ;
us a result of this accident, same will be

condition of our floors and the fact that
we have promised the public to sell 24
pianos at these prices, wo would not
bother with selling these four remaining
pianos at the tremendous reductions. But t
these prices will hold good for today.
Only the early callers need hope to se

anticipate, having one In the store by

FIGHT AT A BABICADE.
Troops Make Short Work With Men
Armed With Bricks..
ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 23 (2:33 A. M.) J
The Associated Press correspondent was (
present when the first barricades were
constructed on Vasslli Ostroff Island,
where fighting occurred later, resulting
In the killing of 30 of the defenders of
the barricades.
The strikers were driven fropi the river
front, had gathered in front of the union
headquarters, out of sight of the soldiers.
Buzzing like a nest of angry hornets, a
hundred men brandished handlelcss sabre
blades, secured from some Junk shop,
which were the "only weapons seen In
the hands of the strikers during the day.
Others swarmed up 'poles and cut down
the telegrgaph and telephone and electric
light wires, which they strung from
lamppost to lamppost across the street,
to break up the charges of cavalry.
At first none of the leaders seemed to
have any plana. Suddenly two men ap
peared -carrying ladder, aisd others
pushed up with more ladders, timber and
lumber from incomplete buildings and
with old sleighs. In the twinkling of an
eye a substantial barricade had been con
structed, bound together with wires and
ropes. On these water was poured, which
Immediately froze.
Am a last contribution. Christmas trees
were addded to the pile and' the crowd
rushed to repeat the process at the other
end of the block. Meanwhile others were
bringing on brick and breaking them for
missiles.
When the troops advanced the strikers
lined the barricades and offered what
resistance they could, but while- half of
the Infantry rested their rifles on a bar
ricade and volleyed, the others demol
ished the obstruction and marched over
the street, which was then covered with
50 dead or wounded lying on the snow
crimsoned with human blood.
SOLOES HEAE VETO CLUB.
Lawmakers Are Careful to Omit the
Emergency Clause.
SALEM. Or.. Jan. 21. (Special.) Gover
nor Chamberlain's caution to the Legisla
ture against too free use of the emergency
clause has had a marked effect on the
lawmaking body. Before the admonition
many bills contained such a clause: now
the emergency Is cut out of bills when
ever it can be spared. The emergency
extended from bills regulating the prac
tice of optometry to those regulating the
running at large of livestock, the salaries
of county officers, the creation of Jeffer
son or Nesmlth County, the rrpatinn r
salmon hatcheries and many other mat
ters.
A number of bills which came up for
third reading and final passage last week
were referred back to committees for
elimination of the emergency clause, af
ter the Governor threatened with his veto
club. Many local bills which seem highly
important to the Legislators who are
backing them, contain the clause, but
they are now weeded out.
Republicans have agreed that when the
emergency clause shall be used It will
first be approved by them as actually
necessary, for the purpose SDecifled. and
that they will stand together to defeat the
veto club with two-thirds majority of the
two Houses, mils wnich pass the Legis

Ins, the Japanese officials dealing sternly
with all offenders. The Chinese were more
culpable than the Japanese, who generally
confined themselves to taking small arti
cles, which they probably wanted chiefly
as souvenirs.
The consensus of opinion is that the sol
diers behaved with remarkable self-restraint
compared with the conduct of oth
ers In similar situations In the history of
wars. Roughly estimated. 200 civilians
lost their lives during the siege. The
refugees generally exhibit no signs of ill

An old Scottish farmer had been
elected a member of the local School
Board. The opportunity had at last
come for the worthy man to display a
little pardonable pride in the import
ance of his new office, so he visited the
parish school and proposed to "pit the
laddies through their facin's." "Noo.
boys, can ony o ye tell me what naeth
ing is?" he asked a class of healthy
youngsters. After a moment's silence
a small boy in a back seat rose and re
plied: "It's what ye gied me the ither
day for haudin yer horse."
. It was: the farmer's first question. It
also was his last. '
