meeting at Clinton-Kelly church last
night and vied with: angry men in hot
protest against continuance of the water
famine from which they all suffer. 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.
Montague and Anderson, was appointed
to wait upon the mayor today, pleading
with him that .he use the full power ot
his office to end the wooaswc urouuu

Dr. Bujdette believes the period of
concession getting and trade develop
ment In China, so far as foreigners are
concerned, is drawing rapidly to a close.
He predicts that' further attempts to
widen the foreign selvedge along Chi
na's border may result In continued up
risings there. ; '
"ChliM has seen practically every one
of its best seaports taken by other na
tions," Burdette said, ''until it has left
as little . water front worth having as
has Jersey City. ; This and the exploita
tion of China's resources by foreigners
Is responsible for the Chinese unrest
"The Chinese are .the most Illiterate
and in some ways the most ignorant
people alive. . They still fondly believe
they can wrest from th foreigners the
ports fhey have taken, and will guard
Jealously what remain. - They resent
western investment; they will fight ev
ery proposed future concession to for
eigners, as they will fight th building
of more railroads unless built by Chi
nese capital and anetn.-'-5 :?
"Education is the only solution of
the antlforelgn problem in China, and
rapid education of the Chinese is almost
a hopeless task. The economic status
of the empire is so closely connected
with the political that the frequent up
risings naturally follow the readjust
ing of Industrial conditions there. Con
cessions and foreign occupation are re
sponsible for these troubles and may in
the future be responsible for more.''.
GERMANY HAS
CHANGE OF HEART

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. ,

water all of Tuesday. Scarcely enough
was caught Monday night, with which

was again secured last night to w tot

hands and face is out of th question,
and she reports neighbors have not had

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

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.. . " fyJtci-
"Fleck defies us," said Miss Parker,
"H says he is there1 to stay until the
city runs htm but During the cooler
weather we had a little water, but have
never had all w want ' Fleck keeps pip
lng his water to new homes every day,
and never ' Increases his supply. 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
want to get connected with the city, and
are willing to pay, our share of th ex
pense In putting a line down.;
Stubborn and Stingy, He Bays.
'Fleck is the most stubborn and
stingy man I ever saw. 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

The "fact is that neither the bill in

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

recently to Senator Bourn, calling his
attention- to th statements that have
been made to th effect that the Ore
gon . senators wer responsible for the
unjust law and Senator Bourn sent him
a letter in return explaining the posi
tions of the Oregon senators. 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

a time when there was a rush of legis

with one which had already been passed

that any senator would be looking for

had already passed.
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. Neither Senator
Chamberlain nor myself is & member of
the senate committee on finance, which
handled the bill in the senate, and we
relied upon the statement made by a
