2 THE MOUSING OREGOXTAX, SATURDAY, JULY 9. 1910. WESTERN UNION'S AGTI0NRE5CINDED Brokers Given Back Wires as Mysteriously as They Were Taken Away. NO EXPLANATIONS GIVEN It Is Supposed That Investigation Showed Business of Firms Cut Off Was Such That Company Was Willing to Accept It. . NEW YORK. July 8. As suddenly as the wire service to various broker offi ces in New York State -cities was sus pended, yesterday, so suddenly was it re sumed today and with no more explana tion by the Western Union Telegraph Company for the second change than for the first. Wall street has long held that the tele graph companies ought to exercise the same, supervision over their customers that representative newspapers exercise over the business they accept for their advertising columns. If it is now the policy of the Western Union to exercise such supervision, es tablished brokers and bankers believe it will result in protection for the investing public and in a greater volume of orders for the bona fide stock exchanges of the country. No Xew York firms have lost their wires. It is supposed that in the case of those firms whose service was cut oft yesterday and restored today, inquiries must have established to the satisfac tion of the company that the business was such that the company was willing to accept it or else legal action brought about such restoration. GIRL DROWNS AT RESORT Heroic Vouth Saves One, Nearly Dies Trying to Rescue Friend. CAMP MEEKER, Cal.. July 8. Edith Johnson, a recent high school graduate of San Francisco, aged 16. was drowned in the river here yester day afternon after a heroic attempt at rescue by Roy Slattery, a San Fran cisco boy, who had already rescued El sie Sellinger after she had twice dis appeared under the surface. The trag edy was enacted in full view of the 2000 persons summering at this resort. Slattery was himself saved by Edward Phillips, an advertising solicitor of San Francisco, who dived as Slattery was rising to the surface for the last time after being released from the clutch of the drowning girl whom he had tried to rescue. Shortly after the two girls had dived Into the lake. Miss Selinger with a shriek suddenly sank, clutching Miss Johnson as she went down. Slattery dived to the bottom, dragged Miss- Sel inger to the surface and pushed her to shore. Then he dived for Miss John son, who clung to him. He tried to fight her off beneath the surface, but the girl held tight until her life was extinct and Slattery himself would have drowned but for the heroic ef forts of Phillips to save him. AIM MAY BE AT AMERICA Closing of Door In China Seen In Russo-Japanese Compact. BERLIN", July 8. The liveliest inter est is felt in official circles regarding the Russo-Japanese agreement, the text of which has not yet been forwarded to the German government. The main tenance of the status quo, which the agreement is ostensibly intended to se cure, is considered most desirable. The most delicate point in the agree ment refers, according to the semi official Frankfurter Zeitung, to the understanding to act actually on the defensive against the intervention by any third power in Manchuria, which still belongs to China. The agreement, therefore, cannot be directed against China. It Is pointed out that America ob tained from China concessions for the Aigun-Chinchow railroad, and the ques tion is now raised here whether the agreement is intended to oppose Amer ica's unwelcome intrusion in the Russo Japanese "sphere of influence. If so. the agreement is taken to mean the closing of the open door. STEEL FRAMES BLOWN UP Strike Sympathizers Do Damage at McCormick Plant. CHICAGO. July 8. Sympathizers with union sheet metal workers were be lieved by the police to be responsible for a dynamite explosion that wrecked several tons of steel window frames yesterday on the premises of the Mc Cormick works of the International Harvester Company at West Thirty first and Rockwell streets. Investigation of the scene of the ex plosion indicates that someone had placed four sticks of dynamite under the piles of steel. Three of theni blew up and the fourth was found several feet away with burned-out fuse. So- great was the force of the explo sion that deep holes were torn in the earth, and some of the steel was blown 100 feet. Business agents of the Sheet Metal Workers appeared at the plant two days ago and are said to have threatened the nonunion men from Philadelphia. The loss from the explosion is about $2000. MOTIVES NOT QUESTIONED Balllnger caves T. 11. Clean Bill in Polndexter Episode. CHICAGO. July 8. Secretary of the Interior Ballinger, who arrived here today on a tour of inspection of pub lic lands, was asked If lie credited the report that Theodore Roosevelt would support the Senatorial candidacy of Congressman Poindexter of Washing ton. "I don't know what the attitude of Mr. Roosevelt will be," he answered, "but I do know that any action he takes will be one that he is convinced is for the good of the country, and that he will go through with It as earnestly as he has in the past." As to Poindexter's politics, the Sec retary said they were not Republican nor Democratic. "If they are not So cialist, I do not know what they are," eaid Mr. Balllnger. .Mr. Ballinger spoke informally at a luncheon given by the Hamilton Club. 1 TWO NEW SNAPSHOTS OF RICHEST MAN, WHO CELEBRATED BIRTHDAY Jobn D. Rockefeller and Sob, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. JOHN D. IS CHIPPER Oil King Receives Birthday Greetings of Friends. HAS COMPLETED 71 YEARS Rockefeller Says Life Still Sweet and Troves Enjoyment by Hiding In Auto and Playing Golf Till Sweat Pours Out. CL,EVKLA"KD, O., July 8. (Special.) Chipper as a boy and with a smile and a real handshake for all well-wishers, John D. Rockefeller today celebrated his 71st birthday at Forest Hill, his splendid Summer home in this city. At the re quest of Mr. Rockefeller and his wife, no special arrangements had been made for the event, as they agreed it was purely a family matter and not of especial in terest to the public. "Perhaps I have lived too long al ready," said Mr. Rockefeller, with a sly smile, "but the world is good and life is sweet to all of us." In the afternoon the oil king drove slowly around the country roads in hi big touring car, greeting many friends, and in the afternoon he played golf, de spite the intense heat, buckling down to the game with great vigor. He was perspiring and as pink as a baby when he came oft the links. At the residence he found a big pile of letters and telegrams, congratulating him on his birthday, and these seemed to af ford both Mr. and Mrs. Rockefeller much pleasure. They were from friends tn all walks of life and from all parts of the country, but the family refused to give any of them to the press, saying they were purely personal. Mr. Rockefeller said his health was ex cellent and that Mrs. Rockefeller had quite recovered from her recent indispo sition, which they attribute to the heat. PINCHOT PLATS POLITICS PARTISAN SPEECHES OX COX SERVATIOX COXGRESS LIST. Pinchot Side of Ballinger Contro versy Exploited on Programme, Thinks Local Board. ST. PAUL, July 8. The programme of the National Conservation Congress to be held here September 6 to 9, which, it was hoped would soon be ready for announce, ment, is being held up pending a. con ference to be held in Chicago early next week between Governor Eberhart and Gifford Pinchot. The trouble is, according to Ralph Wheelock, secretary to the Governor, that the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy has again entered into the discussion. "It seemed to be the opinion of the la. cal board," said Mr. Wheelock, "that some of the speakers were too partisan and that the Pinchot side of the Pinchot-Bal-linger controversy had too prominent a place on the programme. With thiB idea in mind, the Governor wired Mr. Pinchot asking for a conference and received a reply that it would be impossible to change the programme since the arrange ments have been made. "We believe Mr. Pinchot does not understand the Governor's message." ETHEL LEVY WEDS "WHIP" Colmn's Former Wife Marries French Equestrian. . "fEW YORK, July 8. A letter re ceived from Paris yesterday announced the marriage of Ethel Levy, former wife of George M. Cohan, to Pierre Crepln, a well-known professional whip of the French capital. They were married in a province outside of Lon don last October and lived at the Hotel Carlton for several months following the ceremony, but managed to keep the marriage a secret until recently. M. Crepin is 24 years old, tall and ath letic. He is one of the most expert equestrians of the continent and holds records for his high jumping. It is Miss Levy's intention to return to New York In August and assist her hus band in feats of horsemanship In this country-' 100 KILLED AT FESTIVAL Cigarette Explodes Keg of Gun powder on Chinese Barge. VICTORIA, B. C, July 8. The Blue Funnel steamship Bellerophon, which arrived today from Liverpool via Ori ental ports, brought news from Canton of the loss of 100 lives during the dragon festival there last month.. As a winning dragon boat in a race was racing past the judge's barge, crowded' with, spectators, one of fche ' ill 4 ;-A GrjSQ & . &s-stS fig IMS YESTERDAY. John D.

News was brought by the Bellero phon of the seizure of a big shipment of opium on the AVeir steamer Kumeric at Manila, followed by the arrest of the Chinese compradore, caught when selling ten tins of opium to a Fili pino. A fierce fight between European and Chinese members of the crew of the British steamer Frankby oc curred when the Bellerophon was at Manila. The Chinese chased the Eu ropean into the forecastle with hatch ets ' and knives and were battering down the door, when the captain ar rived with a revolver and threatened to shoot. Several of the Europeans were severely wounded before the mutiny was put down. The Bellerophon brought 559 Chinese steerage passengers, of whom 145 paid 72.500 In head taxes. The Holt Company is planning to es tablish an accelerated service with steamers leaving Liverpool for this coast fortnightly, instead of monthly, as at present. FULLER LAIDBESIDE WIFE All Courts In Chicago Show Respect to Late Chief Justice. CHICAGO, July 8. The body of the late Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Melville Weston Fuller, lies tonight be side that of his wife in Graceland Ceme te ry . The special car in which the flower strewn casket rested arrived from Bos ton at 1 o'clock this afternoon. Before being taken to St. James Church the body rested in state at the Virginia Hotel, where the late justice made his home on his visits to this city. Justice Fuller, when a practicing at torney, followed, his vocation here for 21 years and hundreds of persons who knew him in the old days visited the hotel. In his sermon Rev. James E.. Freeman paid a high tribute to the life and works of the jurist. Three sons-in-law and three grand sons acted as pallbearers. All courts were closed. Judges of the Municipal Court attended the services in a body, while the presiding officers of the Federal and state courts arrived singly or in small groups. Among others present were committees representing the Chicago Bar Association, the Illinois State Bar Association and numerous other organizations. HAVENS WILLING, HE SAYS Democratic Nomination for Gover nor of Xew York, Is Honor. ROCHESTER. N. Y., July 8. James H. Havens, the Democrat who defeated George W. Aldrldge, of the Thirty fourth Congressional District, for the seat left vacant by the death of Repre sentative James Breck Perkins, has been repeatedly urged to reconsider his determination not to run for Congress again, this Fall, but he still firmly re fuses to allow his name to be con sidered. "How about a nomination for Gov ernor?" he was asked. "Well, that is quite another matter," he replied. "A nomination for the Gov ernorship of the state of New York on the Democratic ticket, is an honor of which any man would be proud. How ever, I do not think anything will come of the talk of my candidacy." Fees In "Dry" States Cut. v WASHINGTON, Juiy 8. Controller of the Treasury Tracewell has rendered a decision holding in effect that in the future he will not allow expenses of office deputies in serving John Doe warrants. The Issue came before him on an appeal by Marshal P. M. Long. of the northern district of Alabama,J irom a ruling by the auditor of the State and other departments in disal lowing traveling expenses incurred in endeavoring to serve such warrants in internal revenue cases where the effort to arrest was unsuccessful. The Controller treats the present in stances as emergency cases, and has overruled the auditor and allowed the account, but makes it clear that he will not do so in the future. The departure will work a hardship to Government officers in some of the prohibition states, where the John Doe warrants are resorted to freely. If. I fa. f , 1 9 ml V - - !f BALLINGER FAVORS OREGON PROJECT State May Get Slice of Recla mation Fund Through Aid of Secretary. SENATORS ARE INACTIVE Application fo Allotment Comes Only From House Members De mands of All States Total Four Times Bonda Issue. (Oontinuefl From First Page.) its Senators, is today1 left at the mercy of the President, and in competition with states represented by live, ener getic and fighting Senators; Senators who appreciated the. full purpose of the bond bill, and who worked for it in 'the hope that their state would receive adequate benefit when the bill became a law. Those Senators, not satisfied with passing the bill, are now working for allotments, and will get them. This is the competition Oregon faces, and it must rely largely upon the good graces of Secretary Ballinger, backed by the two Congressmen. The House members have filed their requests and recom mendations; Secretary Ballinger has assured them of his disposition to do the right thing by Oregon, and there the matter rests. If the Oregon Sen ators are aware that their state is clamoring for any portion of this big fund, that fact is not apparent from any visible evidence in the hands of the President at Beverly, or in the office rof the Secretary of the Interior. Under the . terms of the $20,000,000 bill, none of the money therein pro vided .can be alloted for or expended upon new projects; all must go to the completion or the extension of projects now" under way. Therefore, there are but two projects in Oregon which are eligible to receive any part of this money, the Klamath and the Umatilla. It is a safe prediction that no part of the $20,000,000 will be set apart for the Klamath project, for that is under the ban, and only recently was greatly diminished for what the Government considered good and sufficient reasons. That part of the Klamath project now in an unfinished state will be com pleted, but this can be done out of moneys in the regular reclamation fund. Umatilla Has Chance. Because of this situation the Uma tilla project is the only one In Oregon likely to receive an allotment out of the new fund, and that allotment, if made, will be for the west side exten sion, which contemplates the irrigation of about 60,000 acres lying west of the Umatilla River, and south of the Colum bia, immediately adjoining the present Umatilla project. The original project is now practically complete; a very small additional expenditure, out of moneys already allotted, will put on the finishing touches, withc-ut necessitating any drain upon the $20,000,000 fund. To build this west side addition will call for an expenditure of $2,550,000, or an average cost per acre of about $45. This is $20 less than the cost of the east sdde project, which is one of the most ex pensive yet built by the Reclamation Service, and yet one of the most promis ing. Privately-owned land under that project has sold within the past month for from $230 to $300 per acre, exclusive of water right, and if this land can command such a price and pay $t5 for water. Secretary Ballinger believes that land of identical character lying just across the Umatilla River, can certainly pay $45 for water. Therefore, he regards this extension as a good and a safe in vestment for Government funds. Roughly speaking, half of this west side tract is in Government ownership and half is held by various private interests, some of it being railroad land. The land in private ownership must be subdivided and sold under -the terms of the reclama tion act. if the extension is built, and under the terms of the bond bill, the vacant Government land must be held by the Government until the irrigation system is completed and water is neady for distribution. The bond bill has made it impossible for settlers in the future to go on any Government project until everything is in readiness. If, out of deference to the wishes of Secretary Ballinger, the President de cides to make an allotment for the Uma tilla extension, he may set apart suffi cient money to complete the west side project, or, as seems more likely, he may make available sufficient money to start the work and carry it ahead for a year or two, looking to future con tributions to the fund to complete it. Other States Exert Pressure. The allotment. of the full $2,550,000 would not give to Oregon all it would have been legally entitled to had section 9 not been repealed, and this fact may weigh heavy with the President. But on the other hand, he is being subjected to terrific pressure from influential Senators from other states Senators who deserve great credit for the passage of the bond bill and he may be forced to compromise in order to meet these demands. As an illustration of the pressure that is being made on the President, Senator Carter of Montana has already applied for $10,000,000 or half of the whole amount made available by the new law. He prob ably will not get all that he asks, but he is certain to procure a very liberal allowance for Montana. The Milk River project needs $4,000,000, and the Sun River project $6,000,000. Both are in course of construction, and Carter has bid for the full amount required to complete them both. Let it be remarked, in passing, that both these projects are along the Great Northern Railroad; the Great Nor thern, which is largely responsible for Carter's election, and to which Carter is now looking for re-election, has demanded that he get a big slice of the $20,000,000 for these two projects on its line. Carter needs the support of the Great Northern, for without it he will not be returned. Therefore it is natural to presume that he will overlook no opportunity to get every available cent for the projects on the line of this great railroad. And yet Carter, together with Smoot, is large ly responsible for the reduction of the bond bill from $30,000,000 to $20,000,000 over the protest of Senator Borah and others, for it was Carter who told the President $20,000,000 was ample, and the President, knowing Carter to be chairman of the irrigation committee, lie knew what he was talking about., and told the House committee he would accept $20,000,000 as a compromise. He did this on Carter's advice, and now Carter asks for just one-half of the full amount made avail able by Congress. t. Wyoming Wants Half. Wyoming, tike 'Montana, is able to worry along if it gets $10,000,000. While this state is one of the smallest con tributors to the reclamation fund, and equitably entitled to little in the way of benefits, and under the old law en titled to nothing more than it has already received, it presents one of the most feasible projects In the West that must I He ofinsirterpd linrler th hnnd bill, and for that project alone asks $6,000,000. The Government has built the great Path. finder dam in Wyoming, and behind It stored enough water of the North Platte River to irrigate not only 130,000 acres in Nebraska (which land is now receiving water; but enough water to irrigate 150. 000 acres in the Goshen Hole country in Wyoming. Here is a project where the reservoir is built and the water is avail able, and the expenditure of $6,000,000 will irrigate this additional 150,000 ' acres in Wyoming with water that is now stored, and going to waste, because there is no tlistributtng system to get it on the land. There is no question but that a large share of tho $20,000,000 will be given to this project, especially as Senator War ren, of Wyoming, is chairman of the rnili7 tary. committee, and the project is to be examined and reported upon by a board of Army engineers. In addition the Shoshone project in Wyoming, which has already cost nearly $4,000,000, is asking $4, 000,000 more for extensions, so as to irri gate 110,000 acres not included in present project. The Shoshone project, however, is being built more rapidly than it is being settled; there is today much land under water that is not under cultiva tion, and Wyoming may have to be con tent with $6,000,000 for the Pathfinder or Goshen Hole project, though Senator Warren, an active man, will never be content with a single allotment when he was asked for two. Idaho Requests Large. Then take Idaho. If this $20,000,000 should be apportioned according to the deserts of the Senators from the various states, Idaho would get a larger allot ment than any other states, for Senator Borah not only conceived the idea of a bond issue, but did more than any other three Senators to pass the bill, and all this while his colleague stood ready to back him up. Idaho, however, is not asking as much as Montana or Wyoming. On the Minidoka project the Government has spent approximately $3,500,000 and irrigated 100,000 acres. But $1,030,000 is asked to build the south side pumping system which will irrigate an additional 30,000 acres, or with an allotment of $5,600,000 additional, 100,000 on the north side can be irrigated by pumping and by storage. The larger project is not likely to be undertaken at this time. The Boise-Payette project in South western Idaho has cost about $3,750,000 to date. It is on this prjoect that the bulk of Idaho's allotment will be ex pended, for it will require about $5,000, 000 to complete the unit now under way, which embraces 244,000 acres. At the inside, Idaho- wants three or four mil lions out of the fund, and, as stated, from the standpoint of merits and de serts, is entitled to all that, and more. Then there is Texas with its Rio Grande project, to which the Government is committed under its treaty with Mex ico. That project calls for more than $8,000,000, and something must be con tributed for that, though not all, out of the $20,000,000. The Grand Valley proj ect in Colorado is another to which the Government is morally committed, and that is $4,000,000; Washington, with its limitless irrigation resources in the Yaki ma Valley, wants only $14,000,000 to com plete the vast system now in course of construction, and at that, the Benton unit is not included. Of course, Wash ington does not expect to get $14,000,000 out of a total of $20,000,000, but with Senator Jones and Secretary Ballinger both working for the Yakima Valley, that section of the Evergreen State will not be neglected. Need Is for $80,000,000. , To go through the official estimates one is staggered at the amounts neces sary to complete possible extensions of existing projects, any and all of which are eligible to receive allotments out of the $20,000,000 fund. The following table shows the amounts estimated to be nec essary for this purpose: State and Project Arizona. Roosevelt $ Arizona-California, Yuma California, Orland Colorado, Uneompahgre. ..........

For it is shown that ex isting projects may be extended to the extent of $80,000,000 in round numbers and all this would be in accordance with the statute. . If Oregon got all that it is estimated could be used on both projects, it would receive less than $7,000,000 out of a pos sible $SO,000,000, but when there is only $20,000,00 to go round, its quota must necessarily be cut, especially since the President is no longer bound by law to give to Oregon at least 51 per cent of the money ic has already contributed to the reclamation fund, or 51 per cent of $7,860,000. State .Must Get Busy. The total expenditure in Oregon, ac cording to the latest reports, or rather the total allotment to date, is $1,320,000 for the Umatilla project and $2,334,000 .for the Klamath, or $3,654,000 In all. Not all the benefits of the Klamath allotment accrue to Oregon, part being in California so that on any equitable basis Oregon to get a square deal, should receive out of the $20,000,000 at least enough to Sarsaparilla Cures all blood humors, all erup tions, clears the complexion, cre ates an appetite, aids digestion, relieves that tired feeling, gives vigor and vim.

Representative Ellis, backed by Repre sentative Hawley, has asked for this al lotment. Secretary Ballinger feels that the state is entitled to it. But the ques tion remaining to be determined is, can the President, in face of all the demands made upon him, give Oregron more than 10 per cent of the total available fund? Much depends upon the pressure that Oregon exerts. Past experience has shown that the state cannot look to its Senators Women s Secrets There is one man in the United States who has perhaps heard more women's secrets than any, other man or woman in the country. These secrets are not secrets of guilt or shame, but the secrets of suffering, and they have been confided to Dr. R. V. Pierce in the hope and expectation of advice and help. That few of these women have been disappointed in their ex pectations is proved by the fact that ninety-eight per cent, of all women treated by Dr. Pierce have been absolutely and ' altogether cured. Such a record would be remarkable ifthe cases treated were numbered by hundreds only. But when that record applies to the treatment oi more than half-a- mil lion women, in a practice of over 40 years, it is phenomenal, and entitles Dr. Pierce to the gratitude accorded him by women, as the first of specialists in the treatment of women's diseases.
