peaceful disposition of the bulls the
sport was tame. The injured are all

Irrigation congress began here today.
Delegates are present from nearly
every western state, and tie -1ississ-

Maxson showed unusually large dele
cations from Colorado, Arizona, New
Mexico. Oregon, Washington. CalifOr-
Ma, Idaho and Nebraska. The morn
ing session today was devoted 20 ad-
dresses Of welcome and the work OF
organization.
This session Of the congress, which
will continue three days, promises to
be very important. The program has
been carefully arranged with the view
OF achieving practical benefits and
progress. 1t includes lessons in prac-
tiCal irrigation and forestry, reports
Of experts, application of provisions
OF the reclamation act, report of
state progress under the national act,
views on the settlement of legal com
plications and a consideration of the
Save the forests and store the
water" is the motto Of the congress-
and the main work Of the convention
will be to enlist the support of every
one for the policy which was outlined
By President Roosevelt in speeches
during his recent western tour-that
national aid in reclamation of arid
lands is of supreme Importance. It is
expected that this policy Of national
control will be fought by the private
companies, which have in many
places obtained possession of the wa
ter supply, and who are building up
fortunes by selling irrigation water to
small ranchers. When the irrigation
congresses were inaugurated eleven
years ago this method was considered
the proper one. A gradual change of
sentiment took place, however, and
the new idea gained favor that the
whole policy of irrigation should be a
national one and that it was the duty
OF the government to see that the arid
tracts were reclaimed A vigorous
propaganda was Waged in support of
this idea, and the passage Of a national
irrigation act was finally secured.
In addition to discussing ways and
this idea, and the passage of a ma
tlCnal control and extending the works
already begun, the congress will lis

by order of the board of health-the
dumps
The rubbish dumps at the waterside
have been famous for years Big canal
boats lie there beneath a high platform
whereon wagons with street sweepings
are backed up and dumped over into
their holds. Here the stuff has to be
"trimmed"-a process something like
loading hay upon a rack, so that it will
ride" This trimming costs the city
nothing; on the contrary it brings in
many thousands year. Contractors
bid eagerly for the privilege of sorting
over the rubbish and take out of it q
perfect gold mine of valuable refuse.
And under the platforms, breathing
daily and nightly the air Of the refuse,
have lived the laborers who do the
trimming.
There is no home so bad that some
one does not love it; the people who
are to be evicted from the dumps pro-
test against the order. They have al
ways lived so. They only ask to be
let alone.

This colored messenger, who Is only

Young Mattingly is Maryland youth,

Aess. VI tnelf One Result Of the Strike
methods the trial of Larry Murphy,
treasurer of stone cutters union, was
eloquent. Murphy was put on trial
for getting away with the funds of the
union. His counsel, Mr.. Mcintyre,
formerly an assistant district attorney
and keen one, offered the original de-
tense that the money didn't belong to
the union. How, he innocently asked,
could the union ask Murphy to account
for money it never owned? OF course,
there was hidden motive behind such
a defense" That motive was re-
venge. It was brought out in testi-
mony that Murphy had been bled by
other leaders of the union; that six
members had practically divided fund
of $4,000 which Andrew D. Baird had
paid on behalf of master stone-cutters
to end strike"
I know Baird well. He is a grim old
Scottish warrior, brave veteran Of
the civil war, man of wealth and po-
sition, once candidate for mayor of
Brooklyn. What terrorism must have
existed to make this man-not for his
own sake, believe, but to keep the
men at work, and save weaker con-
tractors from bankruptcy-pay black
mail!
The chances for graft" are enor-
nous. Imagine a contractor under
penalties to finish within a certain
time a building costing 81 1,00o, 900.
Promptly finished the work nets him
profit. Delayed so as to bring cred
itors down upon him or to cause
demurrage penalties, it will ruin him.
Then comes walking delegate with
trumped-up charge of having in
some way offended against some one
of the hundred conflicting rules of
often quarreling unions. He demands
cash-in word, bribe. What is the
contractor to do?
Who gets the money? Ostensibly it
is q fine. In the Baird case, the money
was deposited in bank to the order OF
six men, about 81, ,666 to each. They
could not trust each other.

The sober fact Is that quite aside

is the mart for the smuggling of arms;
here and in Washington center the
management of business enterprises
that live in troublous states by pleas
ure of the executive, and that appeal
for gunboats to the secretary of state

clay to make crucibles, read the state

about the use of straw and stubble in

it boiled and mixed the dark red liquid
thus obtained with clay. He found
that the Elasticity was greatly increas-
