The only grain of comfort for states' rights ad vocates In water distribution at to- Bay's sessions or the lsth National Ir rigation congress was the address of Frank C. Goudy, of Denver, who advo cated larger private and state holding In Irrigation projects. Further than this the day was not mcouraging to supporters of thrs pol lev. evrn in the caucus of the Colorado aelegatlon this morning, where It was decided by a surprisingly close vote lo carry the contest to the resolutions iommittee and later to the floor of the Convention. There was determined opposition to the proposed recommendation for an expropriation of tl.oon.000 annually to the funds of the reclamation service for use In gauging streams. Ob-tacles Arc Kncounlerril. Like obstacles were encountered by sponsors for the resolution recommend ing a redistribution of water along the Rio Grande In Southern Colorado, New .Mexico ami Western Texas. The split of the Colorado delegation's advocates of the new nationalism and supporters of the Federal reclamation vervtce are Jubilant and consider their victory already won. New evidence of the favor with which this policy Is re garded appeared today in the meeting of the forestry service and stockmen. Though merely a sidelight to the main congress, this meeting demonstrated a growing friendly feeling and ended In an Indorsement of the forest rangers end forestry service by the stockmen. Appreciation Is Voiced. Appreciation of the Improvement In the character and stability of Irriga tion projects was voiced by George E. Itarstow. of Texas, who urged the ne- easily of fostering all legitimate ef forts to co-ordinate the moneyed In vestments of the Nation with the great work of irrigation by private enter prise. The change In public knowledge and sentiment regarding the arid region and Its future was emphasized In the paper prepared by Ir. K. H. Newell, director of the reclamation service, and read to the congress this afternoon. Mr. Newell said In part: '"Pioneering In an Irrigated country or on a dry farm requires more common sense, more knowledge and more endus nnre than In ordinary farming condi tions, but to the man who can meet these conditions the results are far grexter than would be attained elsewhere. : At 'km A ; :; v-' - Jj CASUALTIES TOTAL 100 riwr Ilea rlm K.

Men and Women Hurl Missiles Police aa Latter Attempt to Quell Trouble Stores Are Sacked and Many Arrests Made. BERLIN. Sept. 27 Even greater vio lence that that of last night characterized collisions between police and rioters In the Moabit precinct tonight. Many were Injured on both sides. The district pre sents the aspect of a besieged city. Thousands of strikers and their sympa thisers gathered In the streets as soon as darkness fell. A hundred mounted and 500 foot police, armed with revolvers and swords, were stationed at various quarters. They were under orders from the commissioner to exert a severe re pressive measure and to use the sharp edge- of their swords instead of striking with the Oat. The rioters about 9 o'clock began the troubje, which Increased as night advanced. Several stores were sacked. The police charged time after time, wounding many. Men and women at windows hurled mis siles at, the police, who replied with re volver shots. Commissioner Von Jagow drove In an automobile through the precinct about 10 o'clock, when the riot was at its height, Crowds of furious, strikers and their srm re.'.hisers, among whom were many women, mow led imprecations at htm an his men. while tlower pots. varlou household articles und other missiles fell In showers from the windows. The police entered several flats in Wald Strasse. from one of which a maddened woman threw a lighted lamp against an advancing squad, burning several of the men. Many shots were fired from the crowd and the police charged with draw sabers, leaving many Injured on the ground. Scores of arests were made. The saloons weer ordered closed at 11 o'clock and cor dons of police prevented the approach of thousands arriving from other quarters This mesj-ure was effective In bringing about comparative calm, but groups of sullen strikers were prowling In the vi clnity up to midnight. Twelve hundred police are now occupy Ing the precinct. The total number of casualties reported Is 100 strikers injured. 13 dangerously, and two policemen so severely hurt that they were removed to the hospital. In addition. there were hundreds who received minor Injuries. Home Are Mude. "More than the mere financial suc ces have been the large beneficial re sults attained directly and Indirectly by the Government. Above all. Is the more stil.st.intial return, the creation of homes for thousands of citizens. The Intent of the reclamation act has been to make Nx.-uble the development of small farms and the permanent location thereon of families of Independent citizens deriving their living from the soil and virtually interested in the preservation of the principles of free government. "Taking conditions broadly." said Mr. Newell. "It may be asserted that the reclamation act has been a success and has Justified the hopes of Its promoters." In the rourse of his address. Mr. lioiiily. of Denver, said: "While much has been accomplished under the Federal reclamation act. far more land has been reclaimed by pri vate enterprise and private capital, and the one criticism I have to make of t.'ie Federal Reclamation Service Is that In some instances it has seriously In terfered with the reclamation work at tempted by private enterprises. The greatest asset of the arid set Ion Is Its irrigated lands, but several state gov ernments have seemingly never fully appreciated the value of this great wealth-producing resource. Mr. Goudy also condemned "water pirates." Governor Klbhey. of Arizona, was chosen chairman of the resolutions committee and W. J. McGee. of Wash ington, secretary. The committee will begin consideration of resolutions to morrow morning. The committee appointed at the Spo kane congress to arrange a Ian Amertcan Irrigation congress reported progress, but advised the congress that lr-umtances made it inadvisable to liol.l such a congress In 1911. The committee was Instructed to continue its work. "Water, not land, is the present problem of the West." declared Rep resentative Martin, of Colorado, in dis cussing public lands in state irriga tion acts. W. J.

The resolutions committee invludes It Inslnger. of Washington. Politics developed rapidly tonight around headquarters. B. A.

For two days the contest has been between Chicago and Reno, but tonight the race was enlivened by the entrance of Los Angeles and St. Louis. Chicago Shows Strength. Chicago has slready lined up sev eral states in Its support, the latest addition being Kansas. Los Angeles claims the aupport of the Coast states and though a. late entrant, the Cali fornia delegates are optimistic.
