volume xxn SESSION OPENS ON IREP Four Day Convention of Twen tieth Congress Begins in Salt Lake City SENATOR SMOOT ON HOMESTEADER INJUSTICES Says Congress Passed More Lib eral Land Laws Than Had Been Passed by All Other Congresses Ten Years Past mi ■ **ms**__\ SALT LAKE City, Sept. 30.—With a spectacular street parade embodying all ths features of the carnival, the first day of the twentieth internation al Irrigation congress closed tonight. - The morning session of tho four day convention was held in the tabernacle, where the delegates were welcomed by local officials. This aftrnoon the congress listened to addresses and re . ports. Senator Smoo-t delivered the principal speech. He declared the homestead laws Inadequate and that they work Injustices upon the home atea-der, with the result that Ameri can settlers are emigrating by thou sands to Canada. He declared that congress had waked up to this fact and passed more liberal land laws than had been passed by all other congresses In the putt ten years. He predicted that new laws would soon put a stop to Can adian emigration. SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 30.—1n the building of the Panama canr.l and the carrying out of vast Irriga tion projects, the efficiency of a Dem ocratic form of government as a con structive force in the world is on trial, according to Senator Francis Q. Newlands, who as president spoke to day before the National Irrigation congress. Free Tolls for Coastwise Trade At the outset Senator Newlands said he opposed any attempt to im pose heavy tolls on foreign ships for their use of the Panama canal. "It la desirable that this great national public utility should In the end be self-compensatory," he said, "and that the tolls should cover administration and create a sinking fund for Ihe bonds. So far as our coastwise trade is concerned, the canal should bo a part of our inland waterways, upon which it has been customary, not withstanding the large expenditures of the government in the interest of navigation, to impose no restrictions or furthens, but the loss occassional by such remission should be frankly Imposed upon the federal treasury and not upon s.iips engaged in for eign trade. "Foreign countries could justly ob ject to the imposition of the entire cost of administration and bond re demption upon foreign ships; they cannot object to the payment of their proper proportion, determined by their relative tonnage." Storage or Flood Waters "The curbing of the Mississippi river floods, and the generation of great power from the conserved wa ters are both prospective fruits of the Irrigation projects," Senator New lands said. He declared the storage of water for power would reduce the cost of storage of water for irriga tion. "Outside of the great basin all the waters in the arid region are tribu taries to great navigable streams and there the national power regarding storage and the utilization of water rests not merely upon the ownership of the public domain but upon the nation's control of navigation and of navigable streams under the Inter state commerce power." he said. "The development of such navigable rivers with their source streams necessarily involve the treatment of each river and Its tributaries as a unit from source to mouth and the complete control of their waters in such a way as to maintain an equal flow for navigation. This Involves the lower ing of the flood (low and the raising of the ebb flow so as to secure a standard flow suitable for navigation. Leveo Protection "Such control, therefore, necessarily Involves not only as heretofore bank and levee protection In the lower reaches of each river with a view to maintaining a fixed channel of suit able depth, but also the control of the flood waters above in the tribu taries and source streams In such a way as to mitigate the destructive violence of the floods to prevent their devastating flow to the ocean and to hold the waters In suspense In the protected forests, In the depths of cultivated fields and In artiflclla res ervoirs In such a way that they will supplement the ebb flow of the river In time of drouth and meanwhile be used for bentlcial purposs in irrlga gatlon and water power development. Thus compensation can be secured for water and power rights which will tend to diminish the cost of the control of the rivers for navigation a- 1 at the same time we shall have an e»_ual aud proportionate develop ment not only of navigation but of cultivation and power upon which Is a large degree the prosperity of the country depends. **fi - /clt lS3aa.U_.ued on pa' / TS Yakima Herald. HAD HUNG LIVELY TIME -O.nel Roosevelt Heckled But He Matches One Retort With Another STANDS GROUND UNTIL DISSENTERS ARE QUIET Picks Out Shouting Man in Crowd and Says His Voice Is All Right But He Is Appealing to His In telligence KNOXVILLE, Sept. 30.—A tumul tous crowd gave Colonel Roosevelt what he called a "middling lively time" here today. Men scattered through the crowd heckled him and succeeded In raising an uproar, which for a time drowned out any attempt on Mr. Roosevelt's part to go on with his speech. He stood his ground and matchod one retort with another un til he had silenced his dissenters. The ex-congressman had hardly intro duced the colonel when a score ol men started to shout Governor Hoop er's name. . "Saying he pinned his faith on the commandment, "Thou shall not Bteal," Mr. Roosevelt Baid he had not intended to mention Hooper's name. "You people who shout hurrah for Hooper," said the colonel, "are you going to say down with the eighth commandment?" There were cries of "No." "Well, then," the colonel continued, "the theft of a purse Is no greater than the theft of a nomination." Mention by Colonel Roosevelt, wh,i stated that Governor Wilson had placed himself In opposition to pro gressive legislation, brought forth cries of "Hurrah for Wilson." "Then hurrah for abolishing any law that limits the power of the sweatshop owners over women," he shouted back. The cries continued. The colonel singled out a man who was making the most noise. "Your voice Is all right, but I am trying to appeal to your lntellig-nce," he cried. The crowd cheered and the colonel was not interrupted again. THREE CONVICTS MAKE ESCAPE FROM QUARRY Pursued by Deputy Sheriffs and Tracked by Bloodhounds to Pomona Whereas there were seventeen state convicts at work at the Selah quarry yesterday, now .here are but fourteen. Three of them jumped the job short ly after i o'clock yesterday afternoon and had not been re-captured at 11 o'clock last night More than an hour elapsed before word of the escape reached the office of Sheriff J. W. Day in this city. Deputy Sheriffs Hightmire, Hahn, Dew and Redhead, went to the quarry at once in the county automobile. Two bloodhounds, Queen and Rambler, were taken along. The dogs took the scent and trailed the three convicts up the river to Pomona, where the trail was lost. A freigVit train passed along on the Northern Pacific at about the right time for their purpose, and it Is believed by the offlcals that the convicts got aboard and made their escape into the wilds of Kittitas county. The names of the men are as fol lows: Charles Sherman, No. 6048; sentenced from Spokane county for second degree burglary to serve from five to fifteen years; William Camp bell, No. 5596, Spokane county, f've to six years, robbery; Tom Nolan, Spokane county, five to twenty years, robbery.
