TO PROTECT RICE FIELDS.
Move 10 Ask Congress TO Close Mouths Of
Certain Streams TO Keep Back Salt water.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. l3.-The Texas and
Louisiana rice growers have joined forces
and will present petition to Congress
asking for the control of several streams
emptving into the Gulf Of Mexico in the
rice belt. The purpose Is to close these
streams at their mouths by dams or locks
80 as to prevent salt water from ascending
the inland lakes AMI reservoirs from which
the water used in irrigating the rice fields
is taken.
The streams are under Federal juris-
tiction and can be closed only under a
permission from Congress. In most cases
there will be no objection, "a the streams,
although navigable, are not used for naviga-
lion. In the lumber and oil district, the
lumber and oil men will probably oh jec,
as these waterways enable the dealers to
get out their products cheaper.
There are already several suits brought
by the rice growers, who claim that their
crops have been ruined by salt water
brought into the Gulf waterways by tie
dredging and canalling done by the oil
companies.
despatch received here saws that the
Committee on Rivers and Harhors reported
iavorahly to-day on the bill prepared
by the Louisiana men closing NJ rInentau
River and Bayou Nerinilion, two of the
.argcst streams in the rice district. 1t il
presumed from this that there will be no
difficulty encountered in the fight again 1T

the Louisiana and Texas coast will be closed

signs OF mental arrangement, but had
never given a reason to show that he in

WHIMSICAL MADMAN
Bought Rugs, Quoted Shakespeare. Abused
American women.


A Sherif's jury has adjudged Henry
Roso, committed to the BLOOMING dale
Asylum by Justice Fitzgerald, on the sp-
plication of his wife. who lives at
70 Madison avenue, to be insane and
incompetent to manage his affairs. Mr..
Roso was a merchant. but last summer he
proved to be suffering from many decisions,
which often took remarkable forms. II
IL said that his afilction was due to an i'm.
moderate use Of drugs. principally ether
and chloroform.
A few months ago he developed a mania
for purchasing expensive art ouios. under
the impression that he was possessed OF
immense wealth. He bought and paid for,
to the extent of over $40 900. rare tapestries
rugs, pottery and jewelry, and had them
sent to his home. He also entered into
negotiations with various dealers for the
purchase of nearly 100000 worth more
Of the same class OF goods He has an
income of about 5000 year.
Drs. Phillips, Darwin and Hammond
who examined him, found Roso suf-
fering from a variety of other delusions.
undermined by a seething volcano which
would some day blow New York up. This,
he thought. would be Just retribution
for the sins Of American women. He used
to say that In couple Of more generations
there would be no moro Americans left
in consequence Of the women's depravity.
Another idea Of Roso's was that he held
direct communication With God, being
enabled to do 30 BY q diet Of chocolate
exclusively. He also quoted the Bible and
Shakespeare on every occasion.
Roso was born In Porto Rico 81 YEAR,
ago and II is thought that the Spanish
American War was in a large measure
the cause of his insanity. He has brother,

this week. spent the last two years Of his
life in Washington. He had intimate
friends here to whom he confded many &
the details Of those bitter quarrels with his
brother which had such marked effect
on his life
For many years Charles n. Pullman
lived on a farm In Kansas. where George
u. Pullman Settled" him after carefully
having the title to the property established
N his own name. Charles l.. had always
contended that he originated the idea
Of a railway sleeping car. out of which his
brother, whom he accused of la ae ingra'i-
'ud" an" cru"ltv. made oil his millions
In 1898 Charles l.. Pullman was engaged
in the perfection Of some subsequent In
ventions of his own, and in 1900 came TO
Washington a. an applicant for patents.
The chief invention was that Of Pullman
car ventilator which has since been intro
duccd extensively for use in private houses
ana public buildings as we'll. Out of this
invention Mr.. Pullman was r-pui-d TO ha We
made much money. and he fregu, ntly
remarked TO his friends that he would soon
ID" in the millionaire class" Many per-
sons doubt. however, IL he cleared more
than 100000 as IA result Of the vrntilator
invention, and his attorney, Henry +. Wood
ward Of this city, says he doubts If Mr.
Pulinan's estate will prove TO be worth
more than 5000.
Charles l. Pullman. despite his bitter,
lifelong quarrel with George NJ. Pullman.
always maintained pleasant relations
with his other brothers and sisters. One
sister Mrs.. West Of New York, Is said TO
have lent him all the money required TO
perfect his ventilator invention. He lived
here at one time with niece and her hus-
band Mr.. and Mrs. Charles ID. Houck,
and at another time with NJ. +. Metcalf

when he read the assurances Of the counse

Alderman John T. Mccall had to vote for

Mr.. Boardman," said Alderman Sulli-
van, cannot deliver me to the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. nor can any one else. The
franchise was beaten last Tuesday. and il
will be beater when the roll IL called next
Tuesday. II the Pennsylvania does not
agree TO the labor terms we want, the fran
chise never will be passed"
When Alderman Sullvan's attitude was
repor ! TO Aldermen who are supporting
the tunnel one of them said: Little Tim
can get down from a tree as cleverly as
any ono in New York. He doesn't have to
sit up there and cry until some one fetches a
ladder. l wouldn't be surprised TO hear
him get up in the board Tuesday and make
a speech for the franchise right after this
outburst"
Alderman Mccall repeated practically
what Alderman Sullivan had said. He
declared that he would not be moved by
any one, and would cast his vote against
the tunnel so long as the eight-hou clause
wasn't in the contract. He was content
to waive his other objections.
The wiss ones said that notwithstanding
these declarations the Tammany influence
that responds to Timothy d. Sullivan's
wand would produce the votes necessary
to pass the grant. II wouldn't be neoes-
sary. they said, for Sullivan, Mccall or
Gafiney to vote for II.
