He Charges Mr. Ballinger With Playing Into the Hands
of the Water Power Trust In Defense of the Secre
tary, Former Senator Turner Declares That His Of
fice Is Being Conducted According to Law Mr. B. A.
Fowler Will Be the President of the Congress.
Spokane, Aug 11 With the stage
carefully set, the actors prepared In
their lines and an o t helming audi
enee iu its place the Hallinger-l'inchot
battle roal hursted u!n the na
tional irrigation congress this after
noon. The man. in the language of
an enthusiastic California!!, "who rip
ped things wide "pen," was Pr. Tar
dee, former governor of California, Ir.
Pardee attacked Kiehard A. Ballinger,
secretary of the interior, with a fierce
ness only seconded by that of former
Senator George A. Turner of Washing
ton, who took the cudgels in defense
of the secretary.
Mr Kallinger entered the auditorium
this afteru.N.n surrounded ,y a recep
tion committee, and when he arose to
speak he was cheered for several min
utes. The secretary, after a few inlro
dm tory remarks, read from a paper
his ideas on reclamation anil the pub
lic domain, one point he mails plain,
and that was his idea that what had
been done by the secretary of the in
terior was under the law.
Mr. Ballinger's Remarks.
His s(-ech in part was as follows:
While the government has invested
over fifty million dollars in irrigation
works many times that amount has
been invested since the passage of the
reclamation a t by private enterprises,
and it is safe to say that a large por
tion of these private investments have
resulted from governmental example
and encouragement, and let me say
here that it has not been and is not
the oltcy of the national government
in the adTiiinistratii.n of this ai t to
hinder or interfere with the Investment
of private capital in the construction
of irrifc'otion -works, but rather to lend
encouragement. This Is particularly
true in reference to Irrigation under
the Carey act in the various states. I
am not a believer in the government
entering into competition with legiti
mate private enterprises. Its functions
under the reclamation a. t are not of
this character, and I am sure that when
h private enterprise has done what it
can there will stiil be thousands upon
thousands of acres of public lands re
claimable only by government aid.
The western states should therefore be
very jealous of the reclamation fund
and of its constant increase.
The Purpose of the Act.
"The purpose of the reclamation aft
is to undertake the irrigation of arid
lands where a considerable jtortion
there-. f belongs to the public domain
and by the Installation of the storage
and diversion of available waters to
irrigate the largest possible area with
in a given territory at the least cost to
the entrymcn and land owners for con
struction, maintenance and operation.
always keeping in vie- the matter of
the establishment of these lands and
rendering them capable of supporting
the greatest number of families. The
law is a beneficent one; it is another
evidence of the broad and liberal policy
which has ever actuated our national
government in the disposition of its
public lands. It differs, however, from
the simple homestead law in that it
holds out inducements only to men of
sufficient industry and capacity to
carry the added burdens of construc
tion, maintenance and operation, which
is the cost of the lands. While it is
possible that a person of limited means
may successfully enter and acquire
irrigated lands, it will generally be
found that it is not a poor mans prop
osition, unless coupled with intelligent
industry in agriculture.
"The whole scheme of the act is
based upon the appropriation of the
proceeds of sales of public lands In
ertain states and territories for the
construction of irrigation works for
the reclamation of arid and semi-arid
lands therein. No further appropria
tion by the government Is intended or
i un bt inferred from the act, and the
responsibility for the disbursement of
the funds and the construction of the
works is placed upon the secretary of
the interior. It must be recognized
that the government is acting In the
nature of a trustee for the people in
Hi disbursement of this fund; that it
must construct the works for settlers
and turn them over at cost, and has
no right to recklessly or improvidently
i'.nste the fund; that cost means the
ost which is Incurred in the exercise
of common business prudence, and this
is iikewise true of the ex-nse of main
tenance and operation.
Bound by the Law.
"It is also the declared purpose of
this law that the secretary of the In
terior In carrying out its provisions
l.al! proceed In conformity with the
laws of the states and territories
wherein the irrigation works are sit
uated and is hound by these laws In
respect to the appropriation and use of
the waters therein.
"The I'overnment, as I have snid. has
Invested fifty millions of dollars in rec
lamation works, and by such Invest
ment has succeeded in irrigation over
a million acres of arid lands; and it
may be likewise stated with fairness
than over fifty million dollars have
ATTACKED
of California Wants a Res
the Old Order
been added to the value of those lands.
With the additions which are now
contemplated in the completion of irri
gation works now under construction
and those contemplated, the increase
of values w ill be more than propor
tionately continue and the consumma
tion f the revolving fund brought
about by the return of the cost of con
struction of present works will enable
the government in the course of years
where feasible projects exist to In
crease beyond calculation the wealth
of the irrigable regions and the con
tinual exiMinsion of opportunities for
settlement and for homes; the end to
be reached only when irrigable lands
cease to be available. Lands that may
be considered under present methods
non-irrigable in the development of
mechanical and electrical capacity for
raising water onto higher levels may
be economically irrigable in years to
come, so that no one can today define
the limits of possibility, as they are
not the limits of conceivability.
"Any one who lias visited one or
more of the reclamation projects now
in orat!on and sees on the one
hand the desert covered with sage
brush and barrenness, and on the
other the water flowing over the fertile
soil producing heavy crops of grain or
orchards of fruit, appreciates to the
fullest extent the benefits of irrigation.
Too Much Under Way.
"The people of the west, therefore,
who are familiar with these wonderful
results in Irrigation are highly appre
ciative of the importance of the rec
lamation service, but the great diffi
culty which that service encounters is
in finishing the projects now under
taken as against a clamor for a diver
sion of the funds to new fields. In
this respect the service has suffered In
not carrying to completion a less num
ler of projects than it is now engaged
in constructing.
"I cannot conceive of anything which
will contribute more to the permanent
wealth and prosperity of the reclama
tion states and territories that the
J continued construction on the broadest
scale possible of irrigation works.
"The danger which the government
Is undertaking' to overcome is the es
tablishment of small Irrigation projects
in localities whereby suuh establish
ment the larger opportunities are de
stroyed, this preventing enormous
areas of lands from ever acquiring the
use of water. It is nuite true that
many small projects capable of being
financed by men of limited means can
be carved out of larger possibilities,
but to encourage them means the loss
of the larg.-r possibilities. For lack of
; funds the government is at present
I often renuired to surrender possibil
ities in water appropriations, which
means an enormous loss in future de
velopment of irrigation works, and I
fear this Is not fully appreciated. It
is for this reason that at times private
enterprises are disposal to contend that
the government is obstructing their
interests which from the larger view
their interests are obstructing greater
possibilities for larger areas of irriga
ble land. I may mention here what
has frequently occurred to me as a
source of advantage, both to the states
and federal government, and that is
the securing from the various state of
uniform legislation In the matter of
the appropriation of water and its ben
eficial use, and also legislation- looking
to the control and conservation of all
available water power.
Need o' Uniform Regulation.
"This congress could accomplish no
greater work beyond the stimulation
of interest in the development of irri
gation than to secure uniform water
regulations In the interstate waters.
"Ours is a nation of busy people, a
nation of great resources and possibil
ities and most favorably situated for
trade and commerce. It's wealth Is
greater than that of any single coun
try, even of France and Germany com
bined, and this wealth is increasing
at a fabulous rate. Much of It has
been accumulated by the destruction,
by the sacrifice and waste of nature's
gifts, and it is n fortuitous circum
stance that the country has been
brought to understand the Importance
of utilizing and saving our natural
wealth and making it possible for the
nation to continue to prosper and for
the generations that are to come to
have some share in that prosperity, es
lfially since no element of the na
tion's wealth is greater than that con
tained in the soil. For this reason. If
no other, the wor kof reclamation of
the arid and semi-arid lands of the
west is worth!- of first importance In
the development of the nation's re
sourt es. Kvery acre of irrigable land
will be needed in the nation's economy.
"In a century we have passed from
a purely agricultural country to an in
dustrial and commercial country, but
we have not outgrown the necessity for
agriculture. We have of necessity
maintained agriculture and have added
to our national activities Industrial
and commercial progress to a wonder
ful degree. The wealth of the nation
embraces every product of labor
which contributes to the needs of
man. The dominant wealth in natural
resources means only resources avail
able to create wealth by intelligent ef
fort, and I trust our people will never
be called upon to look with fear upon
the couplet of Goldsmith:
"'111 fares the land to hastening hills
a prey,
"Where wealth accumulates and men
decay." "
Mr. Ballinger then sat down and
Would not be disturbed by questions.
There Is a little note following each
notation on the published program In
viting delegates to ask questions and
enter into a discussion with si-akers.
Mr. Kallinger answered It and then
left the platform. The next speaker
was A. C. Campbell, who discussed the
legal aspects of property rights in Ir
rigation. Pardee's Assault.
Former Coventor l'ardee then took
the platform to deliver an address up
on the subject assigned to him. Hut
he had no use for his manuscript. He
opened by saying that he was for
Koosevelt and the Hoosevelt policies.
"Roosevelt was a president who did
things first," said he. "and talked about
them afterward. And that's the kind
of men we would like to see In public
office now."
Pardee told of the activities of for
mer Secretary Garfield, who, under
the instruction of lYesldent Koosevelt,
withdrew from public entry many
tracts of land under the belief that
these lands should be held for the peo
ple. Now, he said. Secretary Kallin
ger has again put up for entry these
lands, and each tract has in its boun
daries a water power site.
"I do not oppose private enterprise
In the development of these sites," said
Pardee, "but I do oppose giving awav
Immense rights to private cororalioiis
which In a few years will hold the
same political control over cities and
states that the railuajs now hold as
a result of the magnificent gifis made
them when ley were asking for help
to construct. We know the corruption
that has resulted from railway con
trol, shall we now hand out to a new
form of corporate power our Institu
tions? "When," pleaded the speaker, "are
We going to have a chance for the
common, hard-working citizen? Sec
retary' Kallinger has said that irriga
tion is not a pnqosition for a poor
man. I take issue with him and say it
Is particularly a poor man's proposi
tion, and if there Is any one trying to
make it not so let's find out about it."
Turner'a Rebuke.
Senator Turner during these re
marks bail left his place in the rear
of the hall and was silting behind the
speaker As l'ardee concluded Turner

CHICAGO RAILWAY STRIKE
TAKES TURN FOR WORSE
THE MEN WANT MORE THAN A
PROMISE.
A Definite Proposition to Be Submit
ted Today.
Chicago, Aug. 11. The street car
situation became darker today than
it has been at any other time since
the union men voted to strike. The
failure of the conferences between the
union leaders and the street railway
officials gave rise to a growing dis
satisfaction among the employes.
Union officials tonight demanded
something besides promises to place
before their men, and declare that
unless they ran get it soon they will
not be responsible for what occurs.
At a conference held between the
president of the City Railway com
pany and the president of the South
Side Street Car Men's union, Mr.
Mitten proposed to give the increase
asked, but making the 20 cents an
hour scale applicable only to those
who have been in service ten years.
Buckley refused this and said the
only thing the unions would accept
would be an advance of :'.) cents
within tw"o years. President Roach of
the north and west side lines prom
ised the union men a definite offer
tomorrow.

Annapolis, Md., Aug. 11. A grew
some feature was this afternoon in
troduced into the inquiry regarding
the death of Lieutenant James N.
Sutton Jr. of tho I'nited States ma
rine corps when the legal represen
tative of Mrs. Sutton, mother of the
dead lieutenant, brought to the wit

Washington, an expert on gunshot
wounds.
The people In the r.mm crowded
around the table and gazed with keen
interest on the doctor while he
placed tiMin the table glistening
skulls, to the exterior of one of
which he affixed. In little lumps of
wax, steel rods intended to indicate
the course of the bullet In the skull
of Lieutenant Sutton. The doctor
stretched himself upon the table and
showed by pantomime how. In his
opinion as an expert, it was ijuite
impossible that Lieutenant Sutton
could have fired itno his -own head
the shot that killed him.
The witness declared that Llentp
nat Sutton could not possibly under
the circumstances described in the
testimony to exert a sufficient pull on
the trigger to discharge the Weapon.
When the court adjourned, the
cross examination of Ir. Shaeffer
was in progress. The evidence of
Sergeant Todd, touching jhieh con

a Foregone Conclusion.
Beverly, Aug. 11. The president
talked with the American ambassa

more than an hour today. The am
bassador Went carefully over every
question of importance pending when
he left Tokio on a leave of absence.
Mr. O'Brien is to be retain d as am
bassador and is credited with being
as close to the throne as any am
bassador at the Japanese court.
The probability of a break between
China and Japan over the Antung
Mukden railroad improvi incuts wus
not taken up, since the situation now
appears to be adjusting itself and
had not become acute wht n Mr.
O'Brien li ft Japan. The president had
a long talk with Judge Ira K. Ab
iM.tt of New Mexico who called to
give the president some information
about political affairs in the terri
tory. The question of statehood for
New Mexico did not enter into the
interview, for the president takes it
for granted that congress will carry
out the party's platform declaration
for separate statehood for both New
Mexico and Arizona.
The president is to make several
stops in both territories during his

PROSTRATED
Intense Heal at Salt Lake
Breaks Up Parade
AMBULANCES WERE BUSY
Carrying the Old Soldier
From the Ranks as Well
as Small Children Who
Formed Parts of the Liv
ing Marching Flag.
Salt Lake City. Utah. Aug. 11. The
glare tit a mid-summer sun, tailing
with impartial severity uHn young
and old, thinned the annual parade
of the Grand Army of the Republic,
a feature of the forty-third encamp
ment, and wrought still more suffer
ing among hundreds of children who
participated in the formation of the
living flag arranged for the delight
of the old soldiers.
The numerous ambulances patroll
ing the line of march on Main street
were In requisition Constantly. Dash
ing hastily from a place in the ranks
to where some exhausted veteran had
fallen into the arms of his com
rades, the vehicles would visit the
flag stand and remove a pallid child,
gasping in the motionless air. S.ide
by side in the Improvised hospitals
along the line of march lay wrinkled
warriors and little school girls.
So oppressive was the heat that
the plan of calling for the apjiearance
of the living flag in the procession
was abandoned and parents sighed
with relief as their little ones were
restored to them. Incomplete figures
show that at least 1U0 children were
taken from the street and from fif
teen to twenty old soldiers were
carried in the ambulances. Many of
the victims, young and old, recov
ered as soon as they were placed in
the shade. Those treated at th
emergency hospital number- about
forty, fifteen of them Grand Army
men, and thirty children. There were
no fatalities.
Notwithstanding this discomfort,
the parade vwis magnificent. Five
thousand old soldiers, walking four
abreast, had the complete right-of-way
over a mile of street loo feet in
width. Every sort of vehicle was ex
cluded from their path and r..es and
guards confined the throng of spec
tators to the sidewalks and the re
viewing stands. Fully luo.000. per
sons saw the sHctacle.
Every division got its meed of ap
plause, as with playing band and in
dicating ennants. it swung into the
arc of view. They came not with the.
accountrements of war but with the
insignia of peace and industry. The
Nebraska delegation carried ears of
yellow corn; Sunflower was the badge
