PUEBLO, t'olo.. Sept. IT. 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.

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

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

"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

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

has been between Chicago and Reno,
but tonight the race was enlivened by
the entrance of Los Angeles and St.

Chicago Shows Strength.
Chicago has slready lined up sev

addition being Kansas. Los Angeles
claims the aupport of the Coast states
