SPOKANE, Wnsh., Aug. 13.
An annual appropriation of ten mil
lion dollars for a period of five years
to aid in the Irrigation work Is asked
of Congress In resolutions adopted
by the National Irrigation Congress
today. This is perhaps tho most Im
portant recommendation In the reso
lutions adopted of which the follow
ing is a synopsis:
That homesteaders under a gov
ernment project shall not be requir
ed to, establish n residence before
the government is prepared to fur
nish them with water.
That the government take 'meas
ures to drain swamp lands in the aid
of land reclamation and of public
health.
That tho IrrlgatlonCongfess act
with other conservation organiza
tions to bring about water way Im
provements, reforestration, drainage
and other like projects, and that
there be brought about surveys and
estimates of reclamation of sub
msrged lands wheer the work is In
ternational in character (this refers
to Northern Idaho more specifically,).
That the reclamation act be ex
tended to Hawaii.
That states pass laws regulating
the cutting of public and private
timber.
That there should be no political
lines with reference to the use of
water for Irrigation.
That the Mississippi deep water
N way be developed.
The committee turned down the
resolution asking for a five billion
bond issue after a severe debate In
which some of the Washington dele
gates upheld the measure. No hint
of the Ballinger and Pinchot differ
once came up In the committee.
Professor W. D. Lyman spoke on tho
subject of deep water ways for the
Inland empire.

Play at Santa Clara, Cal.,
But Are Caught.
(By Associated Press.)
T SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 13. Two
young men, almost hoys, today went
into the Valley Bank of Santa Clara
' and held up the clerks and got away
with over $7,000 with which they
rushed to a waiting auto and thrust
, ing a revolver under tho chauffeur's
nose ordered him to "Let her out."
The alarm spread and as the auto
had been reuted at a San Jose gar
rage, its number and make was
known and Sheriff Langford had no
trouble in following It. The machine
was overtaken seven miles from the
city "and robbers submitted arrest
without a fight. Every effort to es
tablish the identity of the young
men so far has failed and it is be
lieved they were strangers in San
Jose to which place they were taken.
The money was recovered.

Senator Perkins Writes.
Senator Geo. C. Perkins of Cali
fornia, one of the owners of the
steamer M. F. Plant and the Libby
Coal mine, writes from AVashlngton,
D. C. In reply to an Invitation to at
tend the development congress, as
follows:
"1 am In receipt of your letter of
the 27th ultimo and thank you for
the kind invitation to be present at
the annual meeting of the Oregon
Idaho Development League, August
20 and 21. 1 should be most happy
to attend if it were possible, and
am sorry to have to say that should
J return home by that date previous
engagements would prevent, me from
going to Marshfleld. I wish, how
ever, tho success of the meeting, with
the object of which I am in full
sympathy."
Ploeger Also Helps.
Henry Ploeger, a former Coos Bay
man and now a leading Myrtle Point
merchant, is doing some effective
boosting for the development of
Coos county. He took up the sug
gestion of writing to Portland busi
ness men urging them to attend the
Oregon-Idaho Congress here and has
favorable replies. Regarding the
factional spirit that some want to
develop between the Bay and the val
ley, Mr. Ploeger says there Is nothing
to it. "Any thing that helps the Bay
will help Myrtle Point" Is his view
of it. In reply to one of his Invita
tions, Goodman Bros. Shoe Company
of Portland, wrote as follows:
"We are In receipt of your favor
of the 5th Inst., and we wish to
thank you for your personal Invita
tion to attend tho Development Con
gress, to be held on the 20th .and
21st at Coos Bay.
"We are also members of the
Chamber of Commerce and Portland
""onimercinl Club who are interest
ing themselves In getting up a large
delegation to go over. We, too, are
doing all In our power to have a big
crowd attend, but wo feel very sorry
indeed, that we are not going to be
able to be there In person, or even
bo represented. This Is due to the
fact that we are very short handed,
on account of vacation season for
ono thing, and then again, our Mr.
J. Goodman Is 111 at present and
away from tho store. We don't ex
pect him toreturn until he has fully
recovered, which will hardly be by
that time. We are very sorry, In
deed, for we havo been hoping that
an opportunity would arise, that we
might go over and see our friends,
and your beautiful country, person
ally. If affairs aro changed with us
In tho meantime, you may be very
sure wo will bo there. V' i

cess of the affair, and again thanking
you for your kind invitation,"

DECLARES SUICIDE
VERDICT INCORRECT
Censures First Board of In
quiry For Haste In
Investigation.
fBy Associated Pre3S.)
ANNAPOLIS, Aug. 13. The ses
sion of the court of Inquiry into tho
death of Lieutenant Sutton, reached
the concluding stage today when
Henry E. Davis, counsel for Mrs.
Sutton, mother of the dead officer,
summed up his case. The announce
ment of the judge advocate that he
would present no argument, Davis
said he placed upon him (Davis) a
burden he had not looked for. Da
vis went back to tho coming of Sut
ton to Annapolis, and alluded to
him as a "mother's offering to her
country's service," and referred to
the lieutenant's hopes and aspira
tions as shown by the letters to his
family and to the events of the day
before the tragedy, arguing that
everything tended to disprove the
claim Sut'ton committed suicide. Ho
criticised the composition of the ori
ginal Board of Inquiry of which the
recorder was Lieutenant E. S. Wil
ling. The Board of Inquiry, he said,
acted with undue haste, with no no
tice to Sutton's family, placing upon
him the brand of suicide, thus deny
ing him a christian burial according
to tho family faith and consigning
him to an unconsccrated gruve,
stripping his parents of the hope of
reunion with him In the hereafter
and condemning him, as they were
compelled to believe, to eternal
punishment.
