Washington, Jan. 20. Congressman Sinnott is hopeful that something may be done by the government in the way of taking over the Owyhee irrigation district and providing an otherwise fertile and promising locality with water, provided congress gives $100, 000,000 for extending the work of the reclamation service. This, as Journal readers may remember, is advocated by Secretary of the Interior Lane, who was greatly impressed, on his recent visit to the northwest, with the splen did possibilities for developing Oregon lands. Acting in behalf of his constituents, Sinnott called recently on Controller Ryan of the reclamation service and placed before him the desires of the settlers ins the Owyhee irrigation dis trict for government aid. Ryan, who is a western man, having been In tho newspaper business In Washington and California, expressed Interest In the London, Jan. 20. Cold weather, to gether with a lack of food, clothing and shelter, is causing intense suffer ing and distress among the refugees whose homes were destroyed by Ser vian troops in the mountain region of Albania last October. Men, women and children by scores are dying of hunger and cold. The population is helpless and for the des titute refugees there is no relief in sight, Wtlliam W. Howard of New York, who has just reached London on his return from a Journey, partly on foot through the devastated regions, of Al bania, says 30,000 refugees, "mostly women and children, are either starv ing or freezing to death. Winter Is Barer On. These sufferers are in the Gashl and Kraslcsi districts In northern Albania and in the Goloborda district, middle Albania, and the district- of lower Iibra. All are. in high altitudes where the, winter is severe. No help is reach ing tlvesn people because of their re moteness from the coast and the diffi culties of travel. Mr. Howard esti mates that there are 125.000 who need food, clothing and shelter. "At present," said Mr. Howard, "Al bania is in a state of chaos, and civil war between Essad Pasha and the pro visional government Is In progress, "Kssad Pasha is the self proclaimed ruler of Middle Albania. His. avowed purpose In this civil war is to get control of all Ghegerla north and east of the Shkumbl river. The last Infor mation I have is that he is making some progress. Dervish Bey is his ablest lieutenant. Hew Xing Holds Back. "Prince Wied of Germany, who has been selected by tho powers of Europe as the king of Albania, seems to be waiting for financial guarantee. Many Albanians told me they did not want a king to whom they must pay money. They want a king who will brins money into the country and develop its resources. In my mind Prince Wied will have a stormy time In Al bania. 'My own solution of the Albanian problem Is that the country should be taken over by a committee of Ameri can philanthropists and administered on a common sense basis until such a time as the Albanians are able to set up a stable government for themselves.

Washington, Jan. 20. Mr. and Mrs. Binger Hermann arrived here today to vvislt- their daughter and son4n-law. Hermann took up wfth Senator Cham berlain the question of securing an In crease of appropriation for the Rose burg federal building so as to accom modate other federal offices besides the postofflce. project and sympathy for the settlers, , r;t " t .1. . 0 but he said that the interior depart- bf," rf ' "e" ,Lc,kIn thls future' ment had no funds available for taking Albni blood red." , ur any new projects. He said he looked on the Owyhee project with favor and suggested that in case con gress should, in its wisdom, see fit to adopt the suggestion of Secretary Lane and appropriate 1100,000,000 for the reclamation of arid lands, the de partment would seriously consider Congressman Sinnott' s request for government action in the case of Owyhee. Ryan suggested that the parties In terested should file with the secretary cf the interior a petition setting forth in detail the facts In the case, the size of the farm units, the quantity of government land embraced in the project, and any other pertinent de tails and arguments why the govern ment should take it over. This, he said, would give the project and peti tion an advanced place on the depart ment's docket. Old Fall Proves Fatal. New York, Jan. 20.
