RESERVOIR SITES.
CONSTRUCTION Work Under Irrigation Law to Be
Commenced Next Spring.

A Washington dispatch says that Chief
photographer Newell, of the Geological
Survey, just back from tour of inspec-
ton In the West. reports such satisfac-
tory progress has been made with the
examination of feasible reservoir sites
that in all probability the work Of con-
struction of the first approved project
under the new law can be commenced
early next spring. His idea is to begin
with the construction of several projects
of medium proportion. with funds now
available, getting the most promising un-
der way before the contract for the sec
ond Is let, and so on until the available
funds are utilized.
On his recent trip Mr.. Newell found a
number of projects which gave promise
of entire success, and says there will be
no difficulty in making a good start In
inaugurating this work an attempt will
be made to construct systems by which
a maximum number of settlers can be
provided for on the reclaimed land at
struction fund arising from the disposal
of water rights will be returned to the
reclamation fund in the shortest possible
time. Several field parties now at work
Rre making satisfactory progress, and
will continue until late in the season.
when those In the northern States will
be transferred to Arizona, New Mexico
and Southern California where they will
continue through the winter.

Tonopahns VIII Vote 10 Nye.

Considerable speculation has been in
dulged In since the announcement has
been made that Tonopah is In Esmer-
aida county instead Of Nye. While 1t is
probably true that the bonanza camp
is really In Esmeralda county the fact
will have to be determined by tiie courts
and 1t will probably be a year or two
before the question is settled. In the
meantime the residents OF Tonopah will
vote In Nye county. They will surely do
so this year. and while the matter might
easily be made matter Of contest after
the election, there is no doubt but that
the Supreme Court would hold that the
would count as cast.--Carson News.

MAJOR WALLER RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE SHOOTING OF NATIVES.

Court-MartiaI Testimony.

MANILA, March 21.-The court-martial
appointed to try Major Littleton w. Waller
and Lieutenant John II. Day, of the marine
corps, on the charge of executing natives
of the Island of Samar without trial, after
receiving a communication from General
Chaffee, to-day decided that il had jurisdic-
ton in the case and proceeded to try the
accused officers.
Major Waller pleaded mot guilty to the
charge of murder, but admitted that eleven
men had been killed.
Captain Robert H. Dunlap. of the marine
corps, testified that he received informa-
tion from Lieutenant Gridley and Sergeant
Quick regarding the arrival at Cargadores
of prisoners who, while on the march
across the island ate roots and parts of
plants and refused to assist the marines
by giving them similar food. He reported
the facts to Major Waller. who was lying
on a cot, and who ordered Lieutenant Day
to take the prisoners and have them shot
The witness said Major Waller was not ex-
cited and had personally expressed that
the men should be shot.
Captain Arthur 7. Mark, marine corps,
representing Major Waller, objected 10 the
testimony of DIR. Love regarding the sanity
of Ma jor Waller at the time, claiming that
his fitness for duty was a matter for the
defense alone. He conceded that Major
Waller gave the orders while in his right
senses.

STEWART FIFE Is FREE
ACQUITTED OF THE CHARGE OF
NUMBERING FRANK RICHARDSON.
of the Jury's Verdict
Followed by N Dramatic Scene
A Mystery UnsoIved.

SAVANNAH, Mo, March H.-When
court opened this morning the jury in the
case OF Stewart Fife, charged with the
murder of Frank Richardson at the home
of the victim, Christmas eve 1900. returned
a verdict of acquittal. 1t is said that only
one ballot was tanen, and that from the
beginning the jury stood unanimous for ac-
quittal. The case went to the jury last
evening. When the verdict was announced
there was a dramaItC scene IN the court
room Mrs. Fife, mother of the accused.
sprang forward and embraced her son,
shouting for joy all the While. Mrs. Fife
is of a very nervous temperament and has
suffered from hysteria at intervals ever
since her son was arrested. Mrs. Richard
son, widow of the murdered man, was also
in the courtroom, and gave vent TO her
emotion. Young Fife himself was so over
come that he could not speak.
This is the second trial in the Richardson
murder case, Mrs. Richardson. the widow.
ago, and still the mystery of Frank Rich
ardsons sensational murder is unsolved.
No other indictments are pending, and the
incident is now probably closed so far as
the courts are concerned. Stewart Fife is
a member of a wealthy family OF St.
Joseph his father having for many years
been a millionaire wholesale merchant. A
few months after the murder Stewart Fife
went away from this part of the country
and after a long absence he was arrested
at North Yakima, Wash, and was returned
to Savannah in custody a few months ago,
charged with the murder of Richardson.

WASHINGTON. March 21.-The State

being under the obligation to protect 18th

necessary to the exercise of that power

isthmus there is little doubt of the physical
ability of our government to protect its
cable communication.

TUNNEL PARTLY CAVES in
BROWN STONE FRONT RESIDENCES
ON PARK AVENUE IN DANGER.
Occupants of Several Houses Are Or

Sliding Into the Bore.

NEV YORK, March 2.-Park avenue,
this city, to-day was again the scene OF
an accident, which, while it entailed no
loss of life, caused a property loss of con-
siderable proportions. The brown-stone
fronts of several four-story private houses

cause of the undermining of the founda-

tunnel. The first serious cave-in occurred
when the sidewalk and area way Of No 10
Park avenue sank 10 considerable depth,
leaving the front wall with no support and
exposing the cellar. The houses on either
side of No. 80 were also rendered unsafe.
Later in the afternoon there occurred a
further settling of the wall and sidewalks,
and the residents on the east side of the
block were ordered by the police to leave
their homes.

trouble occurred is bored through solid

about sixty feet commenced to slide in a

No Controversy Between the Indiana
Senator's, as Certain Newspapers
Have Sought to Indicate.
EACH DEFERRED TO THE OTHER
WHAT HENRY c. PETIT SAYS ABOUT
THE NATTER.
Both Senator'S Unusually Qualified to
Preside Over Such Body
Fairbanks's Attitude.

1t is probable that Senator Albert ]. Bev-
eridge will be the chairman of the Repub-
lican state convention. Chairman Goodrich,
OF the state committee, however, is not in
the city, and the announcement made yes
terday could not ne officially verified. There
has been considerable gossip lately in re-
gard TO the craftsmanship of the conven-
ton, and some newspapers have sought to
show that there has been contest between
Senators Fairbanks and Beveridge for the
craftsmanship.
Nothing is further from the fact" said
Henry c. Petit yesterday. while it is
great honor to preside over such a con-
vention, every person familiar with such
matters knows that to be chairman in
wolves a great amount of labor and prepa-
ration. Senator Fairbanks has served
twice admirably upon such occasions, once
at Fort Wayne and once at indianapolis,
and this year he early expressed himself a.
feeling that the honor was one which
should be shared by his colleague. Senator
Beveridge. Senator Beveridge likewise carly
expressed himself in favor of his colleague
Senator Fairbanks. for chairman, should
he desire it, in view Of the fact that this
is a campaign year wherein Senator Fair
banks is interested in his reelection
Senator Beveridge likewise expressed
himself being very clear that his col
league should be either sole chairman or
temporary chairman, as the convention
might wish, so that he might make the
keynote speech of the campaign. In fact
each senator courteously deferred to the
other, and each was cheerfully prepared to
do whatever might be deemed Ior the best
interests of the party, and there IS not and
at no time has there been, any conflict of
opinion about, or contest for, the chair
manship between the senator's. Senator
Fairbanks has very recently expressed him
self as having no desire whatever TO serve
as chairman, nor have his friends made
any effort whatever in that direction, know
ing we'll his wishes.
by reason of mis- qualifications and of his
being United States senator, it seems to be
generally conceded that inasmuch as Sena-
tor Beverage has not served in that capaci-
~ he this year shall be chairman of the
convention. The thorough qualifications of
both senators for this place are well known
all over the State, and with the Junior
senator as chairman there can be no uues-
tion but that the convention will be enter
tanned by a ringing keynote speech upon
all general live issues of the approaching
campaign.

NO UNNECESSARY DISPLAY
Zone of the senators on the other side-I
believe it was the senator from Tennessee
[Alr. Carmackl-said yesterday that this
section was repLgnant to our democratic
theories of government: that the President
would be surrounded by bayonets on all
occasions; that there would be on all oc-
casions the manifestation of military power

guarded and wise provisions of this section,
which provides that the protection be given
without any unnecessary display The
they may attend the President or they may
not, in the wise discretion Of the secretary
OF war When there is a need for protec-
ton it will be furnished as it is furnished
now by another department of the govern
ment.
The measure is brief one, and it seems
to me an eminently judicious and wise one.
There are no harsh provisions in it. There
is no suggestion OF cruelty in IL, as was
indicated by the honorable senator from
Colorado. There is no precedent for it.
Now is the time to make precedent. The
bill will not accomplish all that we could
wish, but let Us hope that it will prove to
be means OF preventing in some measure
the assassin from robbing the people of
their chief executive. who for the time

various railroads that il il sought to en-

the transportation interests desired the in
