THE MORNIXG OREGONIAN, TIIUKSDAY, JUNE 23, 1910. BONDS ARE VOTED Western Senators v Accept $20,000,000 for Irrigation. ARMY TO BE ELIMINATED Leaving Out Provision for Expendi tures in Proportion to Contribu tions by States Hardship to Oregon. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, . June 22. After consultation among the Western Senators, the Senate this afternoon passed the House bill making available $20,000,000 to complete Government irrigation projects. No effort was made to Increase the amount authorized from $20,000,000, for this afternoon President Taft telephoned to Senator Borah advising against this course. The President expressed the view that "TT $10,000,000 were added by the Senate it would be resisted by the House, a deadlock may result, and the whole bill thus might be defeated. He ex plained that thereclamatlon service can not possibly use $20,000,000 or half of it, during the present season, and that the House bill would provide all the money necessary for immediate needs. If it should be found, as the work prog resses, that the additional $10,000,000 la needed, he said, another bill could be in troduced and pressed next session, - in which event he would co-operate in get ting it through. Army Engineers Eliminated. t Senator Borah, following this conver sation, talked with the Western Senators and all agreed to act upon the Presi dent's suggestion. The bill was then called and passed exactly as It passed the House, save that the clause provid ing that no part of the $20,000,000 should toe expended on any project until that project was examined and approved by a board of five Army engineers was elim inated. This change was made by the finance committee in reporting the bill end If the House refuses to concur in this change. Senator Borah and several other Western Senators will make a de termined fight to force acquiescence. Borah declares that this amendment is objectionable, no only because it will add expense to projects which are to be ex amined, but because it will occasion de lays and may in some oases cause the Indefinite postponement of work on proj ects where the Army engineers disagree with the ldea.s of the reclamation en gineers under whom the works are being constructed. It is believed that if this question Is put up to the House the Sen ate amendment will be accepted. Senator Borah and Senator Smoot have been in conference with the President to night over this feature of the bill. Amendment Hurts Oregon. That feature of the bill repealing sec tion 9 of the reclamation act has been agreed to by both the Senate and Houje, wh'.ch means that hereafter the Secre tary of the Interior may spend the recla- ( mat,lon fund where he deems proper and is no longer required to expend in each state at least 61 per cent of the money It contributes to the fund. This is un fortunate for Oregon for it probably means that no new projects will be un dertaken in that state in the near future. Up to this time H had been the pur pose in compliance with the existing law, either to adopt some new project or to extend the Umatilla project, in order that Oregon might get the benefit of the 51 per cent of money contributed in the past eight years. This is no longer re quired by the law. Cregon is behind its apportionment, especially slnco upper unit Klamath pro ject has been abandoned and probably will remain delinquent for some years to come. . Neither of the Oregon Senators made any resistance whatever to this fei ire of the House bill. CROWh CATCHES BURGLAR Worn- Find : Him In Flat and Falls lovu Stairs in Fright.

"If It were only a matter of $50,000 a year, we would build that tube under the Willamette." said President Josselyn, of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, yesterday. "As a matter of fact, the tube would call for a bond Issue of J5. 000.000 and we should have to pro vide for 6 per cent annually on that and an additional 6 per cent for depreciation.

WATER FAMINE IN DENVER Supply Shut Off for Three Days to Make Sew Connections. DENVER, Colo., June 22. In nearly every home In Denver today, bathtub, wash basins, and nearly every avail able vessel is filled with water. In order to make a new connection the Denver W'ater Company will cut the mains which supply the greater portion of the city. The making of the connection w'll probably require three days. Tomorrow, to wash one's face and hands will become a luxury, and to suggest a bath will be regarded as evidence of insanity. Yesterday a . temporary injunction prohibiting consumers from-, using water for irrigation purposes was se cured by Sadie Brooks. Water is ab solutely necessary to the life of lawns, trees and shrubs here, and if the in junction, which will be argued Satur day, is extended the loss to property owners will amount to several hun dreds of thousands of dollars. Florists figured they have already lost thou sands. , The thermometer Is hovering around 92, and the extension of the water famine will cause suffering. 7 LAD ONLY JOLTED BY FALL Xew York Boy 'Drops Four Stories. Will Recover. NEW YORK,1 June 22. For about three seconds It looked as if William Hart ner, 3 years old, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hartner, who live on the fourth floor of 373 East One Hundred Forty-ninth street, Bronx, would never get a chance to play in his new sand pile. It required only a trio of clock ticks for William to make an air Jour ney from the Are escape outside of his parents' apartment to the rear yard. Mrs. Hartner had purchased a load of sand for a private playground for her son, and the collapsible wagon, which proved wonderfully interesting to Wil liam, had just driven away. During the unloading process, much against his wishes, William stood a spectator on the fire escape overlooking the rear yard. He squeezed through the bars of the railing and started on a down ward trip. Several clotheslines were struck on the way. At the first floor the clothesline stretching from the Are escape held the lad balanced an Instant, and then he fell ten feet or more. - Somewhat frightened, but intact, the boy landed lightly in the middle of the new sand pile. The sand served as a huge pillow, and when Mrs. Hartner and several tenants in the building rushed to the yard they found the boy sitting up and crying. He will recover from his severe shock.

INTERNAL STRIFE FEARED IN CHINA Yangtsi Valley and Other Dis tricts Reported on Verge of Serious Uprisings. LETTER CARRIES THREAT High Military Official's Xame on Document Warning Against Sup port of Killing Dynasty, but Forgery Is Suspected. VICTORIA. B. C.. June 22. News of unrest in several districts of China was brought today by the Tamba Maru. Many ominous symptoms of im pending troubles are reported from the Yangtse Valley, and It was feared an uprising would occur in connection with the opening of the Nanking ex hibition on June 5. with the result that troops were sent and several war ships assembled for protection. The exhibition was opened without trouble and was a great success. Ex hibits from America, England, Ger many and Japan were many and at tracted great interest, especially the American machinery and agricultural Implements exhibits. Ministers Receive Letter. Foreign ministers in Peking have re ceived a letter from a high Chinese military official of the Yangtse Val ley, dated from Shanghai, stating that a great rebellion against the Manchur ian dynasty ls on the verge of begin ning, and the writer warns foreigners that those who show any practical sympathy with the ruling dynasty will be treated as enemies and their lives and property will be destroyed, while those who maintain a neutral attitude will be protected. Peking authorities denounced the letter as a forgery. The Japan Mall of Toklo. one of the best informed newspapers on Far Eastern affairs, says that, even though the document In question be forged. It cannot be de nied that much anxiety is felt in well informed circles. The failure of this year's harvest over a large section of China's 18 provinces seems now un avoidable and in such a calamity the antl-dynastic rebels and Insurgents are likely to find the opportunity for which they have been waiting. Situation Is Serious. "We are reluctant to write in an alarmist strain," says the Mail, but it would be foolish to ignore the facts of the situation." The Yamato Shimbun of Toklo says the Chinese anti-dynastic agitators are very busy abroad and agents sent to the Pacific Coast, Hawaii, Singapore, Hongkong, Shanghai and Yunnan are busily collecting arms. Many ship ments from San Francisco and Honolu lu are reported to have been made, disguised ag merchandise, and several seizures of war munitions sent in this manner have been made at Canton. From Shanghai news was brought of rioting at Lluho, 20 miles northwest of the city port, where a mob attacked the mission premises, but was dis persed by troops before much damage was done. From the vicinity of Changsha also many reports of rioting were received, but the officials seem to have the situation in hand there.
