A slender stream of water, said they, trickles through rotting wooden pipes at nlght During the day the pipes are dry and 10,000 people and the sprinkling carts, having no other source of supplr, suffer. ... The session reached its climax or en thusiasm by the appointment of a com mittee of the women whose .mission it will fce to beg that at least the sprink ling cart contracts may be canceled until water enough accumulates iur them to wash their dishes. The commit tee consists of Mesdames Klppel, Fry, Hicks and Anderson. They are to begin their entreaties . today. Another com mittee consisting, of Messrs. Bodman.

Biitle' Creek,' Mich.:" ernoon editions of th officially inspired press of Berlin. : The first statement given to th press yesterday was an assurance that the kaiser had no desire to meddle In Amer ican politics, and that his letter to Mad rls was only couched -in th usual dip lomatic language. In a very few mo ments this statement was ' withdrawn aud another substituted, which virtually threw down the gauntlet to th United States and stated that Germany refused to recognise any right on the part of the United States to supervise her diplo matic relations with any other country in South and Central America or else where. ' . - . - s ' Last night the German foreign office again suffered a change of heart and issued a third statement, this one being of a pacific tone, and denying that any suggestion other than a diplomatic cour tesy was Intended by the Madrls note. ; The extent of the confusion in th for eign off ic is probably best shown by the attitude of the official and semi-offi cial Berlin papers, which print only; such state and" diplomatic -news as Is cen sored by the government officials. The morning papers in their inspired : col umns upheld th action Of the kaiser, and declared that Germany Would never autumn to a supervision of her relations with those countries under the Monro doctrine. On. the other hand, the after noon editions, which are also official in their inspiration, doubled on the tracks of the morning papers and declared, that Germany recognized th, right of Amer ica to maintain her self-appointed guard ianship oi south and Central. America. Committees from Sellwood, Ivanhoe. Tremont, Kenilworth,' Berkeley and Do ver addition appeared yesterday after noon before the .water !oard and made appeals for Immediate relief f r6m the water famine. Ivanhoe was found to be in th most i desjSerat circumstances. Residents in each of these sections state they have not enough water to use for cooking purposes. To wash their hands and faces or take a bath is out of the question, they say, This condition has prevailed now for 10 days. . : 3. It Stanbaugh and wife of Ivanhoe sat up all of Monday night to oatch Water, but their long vigil was not re-1 warded, ' . Neither of them Went to sleep until l6 o'clock Tueaday morning," when they hai caught" enough water to use for breakfast Stanbaugh related to the water board yesterday of hi night" watch fSr water.- All ' faucets were tnrned open early in th afternoon, he said, and either he or his wife had to be in the bouse in case the water cam on. They watched 'by. reliefs. Th wife, would watch while the husband walked In th yard. Then th husband would watch the next hour while -th wife rested. This was continued until 10 o'clock Tuesday. , , Ho Water AH say Tuesday, Miss Kat Parker said she had no water all of Tuesday. Scarcely enough was caught Monday night, with which to--da-the-cookinff yesterday Enough was again secured last night to w tot breakfast Water ! for w washlns; - her hands and face is out of th question, and she reports neighbors have not had enough water the past two weeks for a bath. -'-,''.-'.. .'.".; ; George A. Carsley related similar ex periences. He earrlod several pails of water from a well quite a distance away. His lawn and -garden are parched and dead. He declared the people out there voted themselves into the city to" get water, but they are getting none. He em phaslzed th danger of a fire, and said ther is absolutely no protection. He said ther was no sign of mor water, and that something desperate would be done if the situation was not relieved. The complaint of Sellwood water users faded Into insignificance when the Ivan hoe people told their stories. The water board saw that immediate relief was necessary, and Will . attempt to get It today;: ,-- ... .v ,'..;;.;'- :-,r. i- .-, . ' Buppild by PrlTat Systems. '. The trouble in Ivanhoe, Tremont, Ken ilworth, Berkley and Dover Is that private water system supplies the place, The Fleck water system is installed In these suburbs, while George W. Brown has a system In Woodmer and ad J a. cent property. As pointed out by the committees yesterday, the two private water systems are attempting' to sell more water than they have for sale. The small mains of both bave been extended to new patrons until everyone Is short or water.. .

He don't care. He Started in to supply Ivan hoe, and has now taken in' all the other suburbs. If-we attempt, to se him about it h evades the question.

We can't rely upon anything he says, for he has been promising relief, but none never comes, He' says he is there to stay until the city runs him out," said Mr. Carsley. Mr. Stanbaugh denounced the Fleck water .system in scathing terms, and openly .charged 1'leck with selling his water to everyone, and allowing : hli Original - -customers to : suffer. :r It :was practically a charge of running a bunko game in which water is, th article of value. - Many other persons had a grievance. and the open meeting gave them chance to make all difficulties known. Everyone talked, and the water board saw something had to be don at one. In going further into the question it was learned that, th Fleck water svs tern has extended the mains to more users than the supply warrants. It was also discovered that he Wat underbidding the city in selling water to Brown, who has a little territory which he supplies witn wator. ::M-xi':-'-:;-.':.r- 'fyv Bells Water Cheaper. Brown arranged last year ta purchase Bull Run water, and the water board was to allow him to have it at very low rates, instead be signed up with Fleck, who .tav It to him cheaper. It de velops, however, that the latter has not furnished enough. All residents of these suburbs appear to do wmmg to stand the expense of complete system connected with the city, and are now devising means to hav the water mains laid to s their places. : For Immediate relief, however. th water board Will today ask Fleck and Brown,, proprietors of the private water systems, to meet with th board to adjust th matter. - If th two men do not .promise Immediate relief, other pressure will be adopted. While: th former committees made their statements, the Bellwood commit tee sat In silence. It was then that they understood their chances wer excellent compared with Ivanhoe. : However, the Sellwood people submitted a resolution in whldh they propose to save water by sprinkling. , !, : A line was established along Eleventh and'other streets, of which the people on lhe east side will sprinkle on the odd days of the month and those living on th west sid of the line- will sprinkle on tne even aaya rurtherplans of get ting a water main for Sellwood Will be considered. - .

The "fact is that neither the bill in troduced In the senate and providing for the sale of Irrigation bonds, nor the bill for the same purpose introduced in the house, contained originally a clause repealing section 9 of the recla mation act , . This . section provided, in general terms, that a certain proportion of th money seoured to the government through the sal of government land should go to th irrigation fund, and was further nrovlded that each Stat should share in the use of these recla matlon , funds according, to the estab lished j ratio of their contributions to th zund. 830,000,000 Provided. .

This let ter. followa: --..":' i i-.:-;t '.- Uourne's Letter. So far as the Oregontan article Is concerned, I have only this to sayi- The ract that the two senators are held accountable for alleged discrimination against Oregon either in expenditure of f und or in the provisions of th recla mation bill, Whit the two representa tives are not, shows that th purpose Is chiefly political. ' i shall first give you a statement of the history of the legislation of which you complain, and think; you will see from this that there was no negligence on the part of the Oregon senators. "X wish to can your attention to sev eral bills and documents which I send you under separate cover, one of these being ah amendment proposed by Sena tor carter to house bill 24.070. which provided for an issue of $30,000,000 In bonds for th completion of reclamation projects. This amendment was adopted by the senate and was the same a a bill f (S. " 6705) whlch had already passed the senate. The amendment, like tne Dill, was rejected, py,,th house. Neither that amendment nor the bill contained any provision, for th repeal or section v oi me reclamation law, am marking this amendment No; 1.' "I wish next to direct gour attention to the first copy of house bill 18,398, Introduced by Mr. Mondell January 17, and which I mark 'No, 2. - J Difference la 8111a. : "I will ask you next to look at this bill as it was Teported In the house on June 17, th bill as reported being marked No. I." You will notice that the bill as introduced did not refer to the repeal of section 9, while the bill as reported contained the repealing clause. In that form the bill passed th house June 21 and came to the sen at June 22, as you win see by refer ence to bill marked 'Nor , which was referred to the committee On finance In the senate. "un June 22 this bill was reported In the senate 'by Senator Lodge, a member of the committee on finance, as you will' see by, reference to page 9084 Of the Congressional, Record which I en close. I wish to direct your particular attention to the statement by Senator Lodge in the paragraph which is partic ularly marked and in which be makes the statement- that the bill which has reported - is identical with the bill which was passed by the senate and which was subsequently added by the senate as an amendment to the with drawal bill, except that it reduced th amount of the bonds to $20,000,000 and also provided for th approval of pro jects by a( board or army engineers. V Statement Made by Iiodjre. "Tcu. will observe, that this statement by .Senator Lodge, who was a member of the commltte 'to which th bill had been referred. Informed th senators that the bill as passed by th house was th same, except for the two changes which he expressly pointed nut, as a bill which had already been passed by the senate, and which . Senator Cham berlain and myself favored, This state ment from him made it unnecessary examine the provisions of the bill par ticularly, "The bill had passed the house on-the day before, June 21, and was referred the committee on finance ott June 2 three 'days before adjournment and at a time when there was a rush of legis lation, and was reported by the com mlttee the same day, In view of tola The smoker. the observation car and ti .nanv. wer ditched. .

Oregon Senators Elnmelass. 1 think this statement of the reo- ord is sufficient to show that there was no negligence on the part of the Oregon senators so far as the repeal of section 9 la concerned. Tf you will refresh your memory as to the history of the Malheur project ie inn you will also agree that the failure of the government to expend money on that project is not due in any way to the members of the Oregon delegation. When the government's reclamation' work was f Jrst commenced mo aeparrment was willing to unaer- take th Malheur project and funds were then available for the work, but the land owners within the project re jected the government's offer, and as a necessary result the money was ex pended elsewhere. ' v Later, after many other projects had been undertaken and the funds had been depleted, land owners in the Malheur project changed their attitude and asked that . the government - take up , the project This could not b done, how ever, without discontinuing or 'diminishing- the work on projects that had al ready, been undertaken and this policy tne department declined to cursu. be lieving that when Work had been com menced It should be completed. Z be lieve tnai ix you had been secretary or the interior you would hav pursued the sam policy. . The only reason why reclamation? work was undertaken in Idaho and not across the line in Oregon was that the Idaho land owners ac cepted the government's terms and the land owners in Oregon did not Bepal of Section Kin. ' "Now-rareW" W6rds"lri reference to the effect of the repeal of section 9. Tou will observe by readlnr th act which. I hav marked No. ' 5 that this 20,000,000 to be raised by the sale of bonds is available only for the comple tion of reclamation projects heretofore begun. 1 That measure would therefore not apply to the Malheur project Which th government has abandoned at the request of representatives of the Mal heur project I have conferred with the Interior as to its policy concerning ex penditures of funds in Oregon and have been advised that it Is the intention of tne department to expend in Oregon Its share of the reclamation fund provided feasible projects are available - and preference will be given to projects al ready started and extensions thereof. : I do not believe? tou would exDect the department to expend money in Ore gon on projects .that are not feasible merely for the purpose of spending in Oregon the portion of th funds to which the state is entitled. Extension of. existing projects in Oregon will very proDaoiy airord opportunity for the ex penditure of th balance due the, state under the provisions of section 9 as in rorce before the passage of this bond ing bill.. - . k T nt Hp to Bills.. ' 'Tn conclusion, I trust you1 will ex- amine carefully the record which I m sending .you, observing the dates on which the bill was Introduced In the bouse, reported in the house, passed by tne house and referred to and passed by the senate. I have no information as to the reason Why the clause was In serted in the bill repealing section, 9 That, clause ; as you r will observe was Inserted by - the house ' Committee on ways and means, of which Mr. Ellis; Is a member. "Mr. Ellis has rone to Oregon and I am unable to inquire of him why that section was inserted.
