TIIE lORXIXG OREGOXIAX, THUESDAT, ' DECEMBER 16, 1909.. LEOPOLD WINNING FIGHT FOR HIS LIFE Monarch Gains After Opera tion, Has Relapse, Then Improves Again. KING FEELS CRITICISM stuns at Wrath oT Barbarities, Es pecially. American Fortune Is . Knormous, Including Iarge American Holdings. lilt USS ELS. lee. 13. King Leo pold's tenacious struggle Is arousing: t he -loyalty and admiration of the peo ple, who are keenly awaiting: develop ments from yesterday's operation. The bulletin Issued tonight by the attending physicians states that the king is gaining. This has caused new hope that his rugged constitution will pull him througii. but it is feared at the court that his age will not permit ultimate recovery. Condition Better at Night. After a restful night, the patient's condition was described as stationary, but in the afternoon unfavorable symp toms appeared and it soon became known that ills majesty had suffered a relapse. Toward evening, however. Im provement was noted, and a reassur ing bulletin was issued as follows: "The king's condition is somewhat Improved. Pulse 75, temperature 99.5." The fact that the temperature thirty hour or more after the operation Is normal is considered an excellent sign. At 11 o'clock tonight announcement was made, though not officially, that the temperature was. improved. Sensitive to American Criticism. While the sovereign was fighting for his life. Parliament today was ab sorbed in one of the most vital ques tions affecting the Nation. The great Congo problem came before the legis lators for consideration and this whatever may have been the scandal, cruelty and oppression attending the leadership of Leopold all Belgians wished to see solved on lines of hu manity and progress and In a manner to convince the world that the Congo Is aafe in' Belgian hands. In spite of his apparent Indifference to criticism, there Is reason to believe that King Leopold was stung to the quick by the world'js wrath over his conduct in the Cong5 matter, and that he never recovered from this. .He was always convinced that American criti cism was sincere, although he impa tiently sought to explain to his friends 'that it was the work of "prattling missionaries." He had an obsession, however, that the British attacks against, nim were not free from jeal ousy. , M. Rankin, Minister for the Colonies. In an impassioned speech In the cham ber today, denied the Kngllsh charges of oppression and cruelty. He pointed out. the great progress in the general prosperity of the country and In ame liorating the burdens of the natives and safeguarding their health. The minister asked the world to suspend Its opinion and give Belgium a chance to show her worth. Wealth Will Startle World. Whatever the Judgment may be on Leopeld from the broad standpoint of morality, unanimity of opinion prevails that the king is one of the shrewdest and ablest of men, with an astound ing capacity for business, a great or ganizer rightly deserving the name of "Leopold, the Builder." It Is understood that Leopold's per sonal fortune is enormous, and that, if the figures were known, they would start lo the world. Besides extensive properties In Belgium and France, he has immense holdings in American se urltis. Karnings of his enterprises In the Congo are said to be stupen dous. Much speculation as to the des tination of his wealth has been aroused by the announcement that he recently consulted Premier Schollaert with ref erence to a political testament. iifi- Shattered by Tragedy. The king's life has been shattered by domestic tragedies. His only son is dead, and his eldest daughters have been banished. Princess Louise has been divorced and pursued by credit ors. The king has never forgiven Princess Stephanie because, after the dark episode of her husband's death, she insisted upon marrying Count I-onyay. The king turned to Princes Clementine, upon whom he lavished affection. But he found time to de vote himself also to Baroness Vaughan, on whom he showered a fortune. It Is whispered In court that Leopold In tends to provide handsomely for ' the Ttaroness and her children. Princess Stephanie, who readied here today, was respectfully greeted by a crowd at the railroad station. She Is a great favorite with the Belgians. The princess declares that she came only toee her father, whom she loved, despite the fact that he had renulsed her at her mother's deathbed. LEOPOLD SAID TO BE DOOMED French Paper Says Intestines Are Paralyzed. PARIS, ' Dec. 15. A special dispatch to the Temps from Brussels says: King- Leopold is doomed. Before the operation was undertaken, the physicians were In doubt whether he was suffering simply from an intestinal obstruction which an operation would relieve or from paralysis of the Intestines, for which there is no remedy. Since the operation there has been no sign of intestinal activity, and this has led the doctors to conclude there Is paralysis. COSDITIOX IS STILL CRITICAL- Leopold Has Several Fainting Fits During Night. BRl'SSELS, Dec. 16. The doctors held a consultation at 4 o'clock this morning, but the result was not made public. . The kirig had fainting fits during the night, -but notwithstanding this he is kuiJ to Imve passed a fair night. His wotiditlca is regarded as critical.

"I had to take the instructions of Superintendent Gebracht and pay out what he in structed," was James G. Bendernagel's reply on the witness stand today to the prosecution's questions regarding the compensation of the checkers at the Williamsburg docks of the American Sugar Refining Company. The Government has charged that the men now on trial for alleged conspir acy todefraud received larger pay than any other employes performing similar service, because of their alleged crook ed work. Bendernagel, cashier of the plant, In dicted with them, defended himself un der cross-examination from the intima tion that he was in any way respon sible for the fixing of these employes' wages, and stated that the orders came from "higher up." "The wages of the checkers were ..definitely fixed in the offices of the company at 117 Wall street' Bender nagel testified. "Do you mean to say that if Mr. Geb racht ordered you to make payments that were illegal you had to do so? he was asked. "I don't see what else I could do,1 Bendernagel replied. "I was subject to his instructions in paying out money." Oliver Spitzer, the dock superintend ent, corroborated Bendernagel.

The report will be made Thursday by benator Bacon. SHORE DUTY BLOCKED NAVY FEARS TO LAND MARINES IN NICARAGUA. Congress Tacked Proviso to Appro priation That Sailor-Soldiers Be Restored to Vessels. WASHINGTON. Dec. 15. The Nlcara- guen situation has caused Navy officials' some perplexity as to the availability of marines on battleships for service in fhat country. The difficulty presents itself by reason of the proviso tacked on the naval appro priation bill by the last Congress, by which the money was to be available only on condition that the marines were re stored to duties hitherto - assigned them. This made it obligatory that the marines who had been taken off all the vessels in the Navy on which they were serving be restored to the ships. . . The question now arises as to the avail ability of the marines on the vessels of the Navy for duty on shore. . There is said to be no doubt in the minds of naval oflicials that the marines might be land ed for temporary duty.. But, if the de mand for service continues, naval offi cials are not so sure as to how long they would be Justified In keeping the marines ashore. One authority has taken the position that the marines could be kept there, even after the vessel to which they had been assigned had sailed away. Others maintain that this would be a plain vio lation of law. . Appreciating the feelings of Congress on the subject of keeping the marines on the vessels, 'the Navy Department is said to be determined to go slow in trying to have the law amended, but it is no se cret that it would be pleased If Congress would change the law.

ZELAYA MAKES ARRESTS Story of Outbreaks in Managua Verified by Consul -Transport - Prairie Ofr at Last With, 700 Marines. WASHINGTON. Dec. 15. Notwithstand ing the silence of the President and the Secretary of War. and the attitude of of licials generally deprecating talk of trou ble, in Central America, the sailing of the transport Prairie today from below Phil adelphia with 700 marines on board, re vives rumors that the Administration contemplates keeping close' watch, at least, on Zelaya, with a view .of being prepared for any emergency. Yesterday's dispatches containing an account of the anti-Zelayan demonstra tion in Managua were confirmed by a telegram from Vice-Consul Cald?ra. From this dispatch, dated ye3torday. it appeared that some of the demonstra tors were arrested by the government authorities, but who the prisoners wero was not indicated. The dispatch says Zelaya has published a statement promis ing to resign the Presidency of Nicaragua in favor of Madriz, who. as Ze'.aya's can didate, is not the choice of the people there. Mr. Caldera, speaking of the demon stration the. night before, says large crowds surrounded the American lega tion, cheering the Government and peo ple of the United States. Report From Rama Discredited. In the absence of any specific Informa tion, the State Department officials dis credit the news published some days ago of any Important engagements between the government and revolutionary forces at Kama, in which the revolutionary arfciy Is said to have been defeated. It is believed that no engagement has taken place there. Should Zelaya carry out his purpose of resigning and installing Madriz as Presi dent there is reason to believe that the Estrada .faction would continue its ac tivities with even greater vigor than they have against Zelaya. The people,! it is said, cannot look for better conditions under Madriz adminis tration than under Zelaya' s, as he is known to be a strong partisan of the former, although he has himself been several times in prison by Zelaya's or ders. It is also known that Madriz' se lection would not be satisfactory to the United Slates, and therefore his installa tion would tend to complicate the situa tion. Creel Well Received. There was some discussion of the visit to this country of Mexico's special Am bassador, Senor Enrique Creel. Published Interviews with Senor Creel have repre sented him as coming with a view of acting as a sort of mediator in any trou ble between the United. States and Nica ragua over the execution of the Amer icans. The opinion was expressed that Senor Creel should be received by this Gov ernment as the Ambassador of President Diaz to present any views Mexico may have in regard to the future of Nicaragua or other Central American States or that he could not be received in the capacity of a mediator between Nicaragua and the United States. Secretary Knox today requested the Sen ate committee on foreign relations to post pone suggested investigation of the Nic araguan situation until he was able to give the committee a clear understanding of Central American affairs. The committee was -called together today with the idea of having Secretary Knox make some state ment, but agreed to the postponement. Because of this request the resolution introduced by Senator Rayner, in connec tion with the execution by order of Pres dent Zelaya of the two Americans, Can non and Uroee, was not taken up. HOUSES SEARCHED BV POLICE Repressive Measures Follow Out break at Managua. COR1NTO, Nicaragua. Dec. 15. Police and soldiers made eystematic searches from house to house in Managua for con cealed firearms all last night, as a result of the iisorder yesterday. There was free righting between the government and anti-government partisans, and 10 arrests were made. Madriz, Zelaya's choice to succeed him as President-, was denounced roundly by the anti-government speak ers. These vowed that Madriz never would be accepted by the revolutionists. The revolution and Estrada and his of ficers were lauded by the speakers. There were hoots and cheers, mingled; two shots were fired and fist fights started. Secretary Knox' letter to the Nicara guan Charge d'Affaires at Washington was published In Managua for the first time today. , Princeton Xearlngr Nicaragua. WASHINGTON, Dec 15. The gunboat Princeton Is approaching (Nicaraguan ter ritory and Is reported at the Navy De partment as toeing, at Acapulco, 'Mexico, yesterday.

AG Pi MAURI 5 DAY SDAYS DAHO DAMS THRIVE Reclamation Service .Report Tells Projects Progress. PAYETTE 14 PER CENT DONE Government's Biggest Irrigation Un dertaking to Save 348,000 Acres Minidoka Gravity . System Complete. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Dec. 15. The progress of Govern ment irrigation work In Idaho, up to June 30, 1909, is discussed in the annual report of the United States Reclamation Service at some length. From the report the fol lowing salient facts are taken: The Payette-Boise project, the Govern ment's biggest irrigation undertaking, and one depending upon the bond issue for early completion, proposes the reclama tion of 348,000 acres, at a cost of nearly $16,000,000. The Government has already located four storage reservoirs for use in connection with this project, and others are to be selected later. The project em braces S3 miles of canals of more than 300 second feet -capacity; 100 miles with capacities between 60 and 300 second feet, and 360 miles of canals with capacities of less than 50 second feet. The entire project, on June 30, was 14 per cent com pleted; the south side Boise unit 20 per cent, and south side Boise unit, exclusive of' storage works on the headwaters of Boise River, 67 per cent. Payette Nearly Complele. Xo other work than a preliminary in vestigations, has been done on the Pay ette division and on the north side Boise unit. The works for the south side unit, exclusive of storage on the headwaters of Boise River, are about 67 per cent completed, and the construction of this portion of the project will be finished be fore the beginning of actual construction on other portions. At the close of the fiscal year 1908, 91 per cent of the work on the Boise River dam had been done, and the structure was brought to completion on October 10, 1908. The dam has been In use through out the season of 1909. The gravity system of the Minidoka project is fully completed, and the pump ing unit, on June 30, was 66 per cent fin ished. Under the gravity.' system 82.125 acres are susceptible of irrigation. The Irrigable area of the pumping project is 49,906 acres. Of the lands irrigated last season, 33.844 acres were, public lands, in process of entry. 3 00O Acres Irrigated. During the latter part of 1908 and early part of the present year the construction of the power-house and pumping stations on the south stde system was expedited to provide for delivery of water in the season of 1909. About 3000 acres were irri gated by pumping during the past season, water being delivered to each farm unit on a rental basis of $1 per acre foot. The grain crop of 1908 on the Minidoka project was a . disappointment. Dry, windy weather in the Spring made much reseeding necessary- Rains In May worked further havoc. The .conditions this year have been worse than4 those of 1908. as there was practically no rainfall from March 1 to July 1. Severe winds caused a great deal of damage by blow ing out crops, and drifting sand cut down much young grain. On June 30, 1909, payments had been made to the amount of 1126,212, or 94.X per cent of the whole. Crop failures would have made It difflicult for the settlers to make these payments had not $250,000 been expended by the service during 1908 for canal excavation, let In small con tracts to the landholders. Gradually the ground-water level is be ing raised so that plant roots can reach the moisture and thus receive a subirrl gation. This year it is believed 5000 acres will be so watered, and within a few years all the sandy soil, about 40,000 acres, is likely to be irrigated In this manner. The Minidoka project has thus far cost $2,659,686. TAMMANY REACHING OUT Murphy Admits Authenticity of Let ters He Says Are) Stolen. SEW YORK, Dec. IS.
