river irrigation scheme is the big propo-
sition now being considered by the de-

about 100000 acres of land under cultiva-

northwestern distributing centers.
A Big Business Factor.
Senator Hansbrough, who is spending
the summer in the northwest, follows the
irrigation plans of the government with
much interest. He believes that the land
which will be brought under cultivation by
irrigation in the next eight or ten years
will add greatly to the business done
from northwestern wholesale points as
we'll as creating new opportunities for
the farmer and business man in many
parts of the northwest. He says irriga-
ton will add little to the cereal pro-
duction of the northwest, but it will solve
the problem of meat production which now
threatens to be hampered by the invasion
of the small grain farmer in the range.

Special to The Journal.
New York, Aug. 16.-Mrs. Zoe Mary
Deane, mother-in-law of Peter Power,
who lives at 242 West Forty fourth street,
can tell who were behind the plaintiff in
the action to dissolve the Northern Pa
ciic merger. Before her daughter and
Power were married she was informed of
the carefully laid plans, the successful
issue of which would mean fame and
riches. That other members of the family
of Powers bride were also let into the
hopes and ambitions of the associated
plaintiffs was acknowledged this morn
ing by Miss Deane, the unmarried sister.
Miss Deane said the family wished to
avoid publicity, but among other things
she said that Power was a young man
who had stood a chance of being a mill
ionaire, but had gone too far in the mat
ter. She thought that Lamb had been
badly treated by his friends. In her opin-
ion there was a possibility that the sem
tence Of contempt passed on her brother
in-law might be revoked.

Mr.. MORGAN
WANTS It
Definite Offer Made for Stock
of American Shipbuild-
ing Company.
The Control of the Grea,
Lakes Would Thus Be
Assured.

Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 16.-The Plain
dealer to-day says: A definite offer has
been made for the stock of the American
Shipbuilding company and the directors
are considering the mat ter. Their reply
will be given the first Of next month
when they meet in special session.
The man behind the deal is ]. Pierpont
Morgan. #-.s -
The transaction would strike at the con-
troll of the great lakes. The American
Shipbuilding company, with its headquar-
ters at Cleveland, owns construction
yards. machine shops and foundries in
this city, Lorraine, Detroit and Wyandotte.
Mich. West Superior and Milwaukee,
Wis, Chicago and Buffalo. It's property
is valued at $15,0oo,0O0 with an extra re-,
serve fund of $4,000, 900. It is doing an
immense business.
It is said that the aim of the eastern
people is not only to get control Of the
American Shipbuilding companys busi-7
ness but eventually of that of other large
concerns: so as practically to monopolize
the entire business from the Atlantic to
the Mississippi and undoubtedly in the
end all the trade from ocean to ocean.
t Two days ago representatives of the
eastern trust arrived in the city. The
stocks of the American Shipbuilding COM
pany took jump. Thursday the common
stock advanced from $49.25 to s54.25. It
was known by those of the inner circles
that proposition was contemplated. It
came yesterday. r

made their offer to the American Ship
building company. 1t was to buy all their
stocks with generous amount of extra

THE MONROE DOCTRINE
1t Is Invoked by Venezuela Against
r. Germany.

1t Is Invoked by Venezuela Against
Germany.
Willemstad, Curacao, Aug. 16.-Presi-
dent Castro Of Venezuela has invoked the
Monroe doctrine as defense against the
German demands for indemnity.
Castro yesterday submitted memo
randum to the German minister at Ca
racas, in answer to the note sent by
Germany; last year to the United States
zuela and the imperial purposes in con-
nection with their liquidation.
Grave significance is attached to this
memorandum by the fact that copy was
confidentially delivered to each of the for
eign ministers at the Venezuelan capital
at the same time that the original
reached the German envoy.
In effect, President Castro seeks to
present the German attitude as an as
sault on the integrity of the American
hemisphere; and in this it is patent that
he is eager to align the United States
against the execution Of German designs
for the collection of such claims as are
now pending against his government.
Castro's attitude is regarded as Pc
tculiarly brusque at a time when his own
government is tottering, although in some
quarters it is limited that. he seeks to ce-
ment the national ties in his own interest.
by presenting situation of peril from
foreign Toes. s;
The Venezuelan memorandum says that
the German note in it's political aspect.
and general character, affects the integ-.
rity of the rights Of the American heni-
sphere-an integrity which all American
republics must uphold, and for the
strengthening of which two International
congresses have met through the influence
Of the United States.
Washington, Aug. 16.-Ambassador Hol-
leben informed the United States govern
ment last December that Germany had no
intention of permanently occupying a
Venezuelan port, but of taking possession
temporarily in order to enforce payment
of German claims.
The United States government had no
objection to this Intention, taking the
ground that foreign countries are entitled
to resort to punitive measures to obtain
payment of claims, and that the force Of
its Monroe doctrine would not thereby be
affected.
