THE MORNING OREGONIAN. MONDAY, MARCH 9. 1914. TERRAZAS ' LIFE 10 CONGRESS IS DOING is no agreement among them as to how the homestead law shall be modified. With so many different opinions ex pressed by the men presumably most interested In this legislation. It is only natural that the public lands committee of the Senate and House should lay aside all bills amending the homestead law'until the advocates of relief for the homesteader can get together In support of some one bill. . - . Responsibility, for inaction rests pfimarily on Senators and members from the Western States. If the West ern men .In' Congress have any Inten tion of getting together to work out a legislative programme which will lead to a more rapid development of the West, they have as yet concealed that purpose. " - BORAH LQAN BILL TO WAIT Sleasnre to Extend More Time to Settlers to Be Passed First'. " ' ORECONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington.' March 8. The Senate irriga tion committee today considered the Borah bill authorizing a loan of $100, 000,000 .to reclamation funds as recom-; mended by Secretary Lane, but after some discussion concluded it would be unwise to press this measure until Congress has acted on the bill report ed to- both the Senate and , House to day granting an extension of time to settlers 1n which. t pay for water. It was agreed to urge prompt action on the extension bill, which gives 20 years in which to make payments, and the committee seemed satisfied the extension can be . granted. Friends -of both measures ' believed there will be better chance. of getting the loan If the extension bill is first disposed of...' Sen ator Borah agreed to this programme, provided the committee willVpress for early action on the loan bill. The $100,000,000 loan bill will be reported and pushed vigorously when the other measure becomes a law. 1 NOTED ACTOR, WHO INHERITS MONEY FROM ONE WHO DISLIKED HIM.

Young; Man Vnluable as Hostage. The younger Terrazas, it Is asserted, always had been held principally as a hostage to control, if possible, his lather's efforts in behalf of. Ueneral Huerta. : Even after repeated ' warn ings it is declared that the elder Ter razas has-aided the Mexican govern ment 'with men and money, until a week ago General Villa declared that his patience was at an end. The latter's decision to waive 'the ransom came through representations made by General Carranza. supreme, chief - of the revolution, and by bis agents. ..-.. A telegram to Villa from Federico Gonzales Garza today -pointed out that to execute Terrazas for non-payment of ransom would be a barbarity which. coming- on top of the indignation aroused by the killing of William S. Benton, would seriously injure the constitutionalists in the United States and Europe. ..The telegram, suggested that 500,000 pesos, or $230,000, was a small' sum compared with the expenses of run ning the revolution and that it was a mere nothing compared with tha storm of criticism it was certain to arouse. ; General Vjlla, In response indicated that the ransom had been largely .a pretext to cover his purpose of pre venting if possible any aid from reach ing the federals from the head of the Terrazas family. ; With tiie stand of General' Villa his a;ent have no quarrel. They, main tain that General Terrazas is far from being the poor man he now says he is and that lie .is a serious menace to the rebel rear through his alleged abil ity and readiness to equip filibustering expeditions, such as those of Jose. Ter razas and the Quevedo brothers. .' Villa a Man of Ilia Word. "'' eueiai vina is a man-ox nis wora, said a rebel official tonight.. "and. wbils the younger Terrazas is in no imme diate danger. It is certain that Villa will expose him to the firing- line if his. father lends further, aid. .and com fort to the enemy." . . : General Carranza'a telegrams to Villa were not peremptory, but were argu mentative, and pointed out that the sender was In the better position to judge the international aspect of the case. Reference was made, to possible in tervention of Secretary of State. Bryan on the ground of humanity and the damage to the prestige of the Consti tutionalists' administration, which such in outrage would engender. Great interest was manifested today tn the jcase of General W. B. Snyman, the former Boer war General, who has been ordered from his 3000-aere ranch In La Relna. 45 miles south of Chi huahua, and his estate confiscated. Snyman is well known here. He wae one of the leaders in forming a Boer colony in Mexico after the British-triumph in South Africa. He was born a Boea, but became naturalized as a Briton and before the war was elected to the Cape Assembly, He turned rebel against his adopted country, however, but was restored to citizenship by King Edward's proclamation of amnes ty several years ago. Aiding; Federals la Charge. Specifically. Snyman Is accused of allowing the Federals to use his ranch as a recruiting headquarters and there Is said to be a further allegation that he has not paid lor his ranch. Friends of Snyman and his on, G. T. Snyman, now here, deny the charges. The veteran Boer fighter was out spoken against the rebellion of Madero againut Porflrlo Diaz, but ha is said to have maintained a neutral attitude since then. George C. Carothers, special agent of the State Department, went to Doug las, Ariz., today to confer with General Carransa. He expects to return late tonight and leave for Chihuahua the headquarters of Villa, tomorrow. He will remain with Villa throughout the Torreon campaign.

' iKSiiiiitefe;iii JAMES K. FEUD IS REVEALED Actor Hated by Niece Whose - Millions He Inherits. TROUBLE 60 YEARS OLD Second Marriage of James Iv. Hack ett's' Father Cause of Family. Ill-Feeling That Contin- v - ued Through Years. NEW YORK, March $. (Special.) The fact that James K. Hackett, the noted actor, inherited J3.6O0.000 from a niece who hated htm nd wanted to bequeath her property otherwise, has revealed a long-standing feud in the Hackett family. The niece who died, was Mrs. Minnie Hackett :Trowbrldgre- Her. estrange ment from the actor waa due to the opposition of the family to the second marriage of the actor's father. The actor, who was the only child of this marriage, was never received at the home of the niece, who, it is said, de clined to hold any communication with him. She was the only child of ex Recorder John Keteltas Hackett, of New York, the son of "Falstaft" Hack ett, the famous actor of the first half of the 19th century. The. feud started .60 year a.go, when "Falstaft" Hackett, against' the wishes of his family, ma-rried a second time. James K. Hackett, the heir to the mil lions, was born when his father wag (9 years old. f The late Mrs. Trowbridge drew-her will in 1908, leaving her estate to her husband without providing for its dis position in the event of his death be fore ber. In 1911 she was declared in competent, and the courts appointed a committee to take care of her estate and person. The will of 1908 could not be changed, due to her mental con dition, and James K. Hackett. being the next of kin and entitled to the residu ary estate, comes into the bulk of the estate. The actor is 45 years old. He secretly married Mary Mannering in 1897. In 1910 she divorced him. There is a daughter now 10 years old by this mar riage. In December, 1911, he married Beatrice Mary Beckley, of London, in Milwaukee. He is now on tour. IS I "RELIGIOUS VAUDEVILLE" TO BE GIVEHf EVERY SUNDAY. California; Pastnr Cltaaba Into Organ. Loft and Impersonates Organist and Hie Daughter. OAKLAND, Cal., March S. (Special.) Church services, with vaudeville trimmingB, with the organ loft for a stage and the pastor impersonating all of-the headliners of the bill, was the diversion given those who attended services tonight at Golden Gate Bap tist Church. Rev. J. M. Heady, the pastor, called it a drama-sermon, or religious vaudeville, and the title was "The Things Worth While." Rev. Mr. Heady believes In being sensational to attract people to his pews. When he was ready for the per formance tonight he climbed into the organ loft and proceeded to impersonate an organist and his daughter, all. the while in his dialogue bringing out the points and the morals of his sermon. He declared the Idea was not new or original with him, and that as far back as the Prophet Ezekiel It was tried as an inducement to bring the people to church. His vaudeville bill consumed 33 min utes. He declared afterward it was such a success that he would give simi lar, bills every Sunday until further notice.

March 2 Honest-faced Prank Smith was taken as a prisoner to the West Thirtieth-street station a few days ago charged with stealing In downtown department storea. Nora Bennett, store detective In a Thirty-fourth-st r e e t establishment, watched Smith for a long time before she mustered courage to arrest him he looked bo honBt. ' Ho tiad Ul-kept country looking clothes. His boots were spotted as though ' there was a Photo by Underwood & Underwood. HACKETT. farmyard somewhere. He wore specta cles. Particles of dust, like hayseed, were on his shoulders and hat But when he was searched at the store office a black, stout elastic was found fastened to the upper left vest pocket. At the other end of the elastic was a fastener with hooks. When this caught an article on a counter, all Smith had to do was to walk away. In ventive genius and the elastic did the rest. - In- his pockets were soap dish, hair brush, shaving brush, mirror, tooth bDush, shoe horn, button hook, hat pin, purse, earrings, glove stretcher, pocket knife and atomizer, all from the silver counter. He had patronized lib erally other counters and another store. Twenty-four articles in all were in numerous pockets.

BAKER'S WATER PROTECTED Bill Setting Asldo Water , Site Signed by President. Is OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, March 8.

THIN BLOOD CAUSES BACKACHE Every muscle in the body needs a sup ply of rich, red blood in proportion to the work it does. The muscles of the back are under heavy strain and have but little Test When tho blood is thin they lack nour ishment and rebel. The result is a sen sation of pain in those muscles. The best medical authorities agree that backache seldom or never means kidney trouble. Real organic kidney disease may have progressed to a criti cal point without developing a pain Jn the back. Doctors detect its presence by the excretions of the kidneys them selves. . Pains in the back should always lead the sufferer to look to the condition of the blood. It will be found in most cases that tho use of Dr. Williams' Pink- Pills to build up the blood will atop the grumbling of the ill-nourished muscles of the back. How much betterTt is to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for the blood than to give way to unreasonable alarm about your kidneys. If you suepect your kidneys, any doctor can make tests In ten minutes that will set your fears at rest or tell you the worst ' All druggists sell Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. A free book, "Building Up the Blood," will be sent On request by the Dr. Williams MedicineCo., Schenectady, N. Y. -Adv. Western . Members Fall to Unite on Needed Measurea-Power. Develop ' ment and .Homestead Amend-. ' .. '- mcnta Cry for Actlon OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, .March- 8. Mpre than three months of tho regular session of Con gress have elapsed, and there has been no serious attempt to revise the land laws or to pass other- legislation, in which the West Is 'vitally . interested. Unless Western Senators and Repre sentatives get together on a legislative programme, little tnat they desire will be enacted before adjournment. When Congress met. Secretary Lane announced himself as strongly in favor of a btll authorizing a loan of $100,000, 000 to the reclamation fund. From that day to tills no serious effort has been made to pass such a bill, and no such bill has " been reported either to the Senate or to the House. It la also true that Western . Senators and members have made no concerted efforts to gat action on such a bill.' It is becoming more doubtful every day whether a loan can be secured this session, even if the Western element in Congress does unite. . Water Power Action Delayed. Notwithstanding the fact that water power development In the West Is at a standstill, there appears to be little hope for the parage. of a bill adopting a practical water-power policy. The Administration, through the Secretary of the Interior, has outlined its views on this phase of the conservation ques tion, and several water-power bills have been introduced' In Congress, but there has been no consideration of these bills, even by the commitees to which they have been referred. This water-power question is sure to lead to extensive debate, because the Western view will be opposed by Eastern theorists, whose main purpose Is to make water-power sites revenue producers, regardless of the effect on consumers. Gifford Plnchot is sticking aroUnd Washington ready to start a fight whenever Congress begins consideration of water-power bills, and he may safe ly be counted upon to place all manner of obstacles in the path of bills which look to the adoption of a practicable policy. The outlok for the right kind of water-power legislation is anything but encouraging. Homestead Law Needs Repair. Every Western Senator and Repre sentative in Congress agrees that the homestead law, in its present shape, is not a workable measure. The condi tions it imposes retard settlement and drive Americans to 'Canada. The bur densome conditions are those Imposed at the request of Secretary Fisher. Not fewer than three bills are pending be fore Congress proposing to amend the homestead law In one way or another.
