Indiana Man Has a Scheme for
Western Irrigation.
Would Use UnderfIOw Of Arkan-
sas on Arid Land.
DO AWAY WITH PUMPS.
Trying to Organize q Company
of Wichita Men.
Desires to Build a System Under
Secured Patents.

Wichita, Kas., April 15.-Mr. NJ. R.
Turner of Decatur. Ind. is in the city
and comforting with business men and
capitalists regarding a stock company
which he wishes to organize for irriga-
ton purposes in the western part of the
state. Mr. Turner has secured a patent
on scheme which will utilize the IN
derf1oW Of the Arkansas river to irri-
gate the arid lands along the river.
AS is well known. the Arkansas river
has very little water in it's bed at the
present time, but for miles on each side
of the river, at a depth of from six to
twelve feet water known to be river
water is found, and this undehow has
a current which is noticeable and nearly
as strong as that of the river itself.
This current and water, the supply of
which is inexhaustible, Mr.. Turner pro-
poses to use in turning the arid lands
of the western part of the state into
veritable garden.
The average fall of the river in the
western part of the state is from twelve
to fourteen feet per mile. At Wichita
the fall is given as six feet per mile.
According to the patents Mr.. Turner
VIII sink a large SHAFT for a considerable
distance under the surface of the under
| flow. This is to have a large body Of
water for use. A few feet below the
surface a pipe will lead from this we'll
This pipe is to be at least two miles
long, and at this distance the water win
be brought to the surface and is ready
to spread over the land. If the well was
twelve feet deep the water could be
delivered at the surface when one mile
from the well, but the patentees think
it would be best to carry the water two
miles and the fall in this distance would
be enough to overcome all friction and
the pipe would run full all Of the time.
This viii do away with pumps and also
irrigating bitches.
Mr.. Turner is trying to organize a
company in this city to build the first
line in the west. He stated last night
that he had offers of some capital from
eastern parties when a company was
organized here and some of the stock
taken by local parties. He believes
that the system would work best if the
pipe line was three miles long before
the water is brought to the surface, as
this would give it a good pressure and
1t could be used for higher ground than
at the outlet of the pipe. Laterals can
be run in all directions and an entire
farm covered with pipes at no very
great expense. The estimated cost of
the system is $1,000. Wrought iron pipe
is to be used, which is inexpensive.
Some experiments have been made
with system to use the underfiOW and
the natural incline of the country but
they have proved only partially sue
cessful. Those who have examined the
plans for this concern believe that it
will be a success from the fact that the
pipe viii act as a siphon and there viii
be no leakage of water while reaching
the lower level.

Critics Are Highly Pleased
With the Reliance.
Newest Cup Defender Praised
by Yachtsmen.
IS OF AMERICAN TYPE.
Her Lines Very Easy With Few
Hard Places.
The Bow Differs from the Con-
stitutiOn or Columbia.

Bristol, r. l.. April 15.-Nothing but
words Of praise are coming from the
critics of the Reliance, the newest cup
defender launched so successfully Sat
urday afternoon. The boat was chris
tened by Miss Dora Iselin, daughter
Of the managing owner, C. Oliver Ise-
lin.
Miss Iselin was attended on the
launching platform by her father, her
sister, Miss Fannie Iselin; Col. William
Goddard of Providence, Newberry D.
Thorne of New York, and one or two
others. With a silver hammer, suita-
bly, engraved, she smashed the bottle,
ribbon wrapped with her fathers fight
ing colors. and formally gave the de-
fender her name.
with this I christen you the Re
lance" she exclaimed and in her next
breath whispered the prayer, And may
heaven guide you to victory" She left
the platform with dress drenched. while
from her fathers face trickled drops
of the sparkling liquid.
The Reliance is a decided departure
on the part of Herreshoff from his other
cup defenders and is an excellent ex-
ample of the American type of fiat
floOred, fin-keeled boats. She is not
such an extreme skimning keeled dish
as was the Independence. but she
nevertheless resembles the Crownin-
shield boat more than she does any Of
her predecessors built here. Her lines
are very easy, with few hard places and
a graceful sweeping curve from the
bilges into the garbOards-
Her stern is very fat so that she will
leave but little wake, while her bow
although not quite so broad and nat as
that of the Independence, is still very
much different from the bow of either
the Constitution or the Columbia.
She has a long keel, but owing to her
good beam does not carry so much lead
in the bulb as the other cup defenders
Her bow toward the end is quite sharp,
while her taffran measures scarcely
eight feet Her greatest beam is we'll
up in the shoulders and is carried aft
many feet.

suicide of Bertha Clendenning of Full
ton, Bourbon county. last Friday. had
been given prior to the receipt of a let
ter by an Emporia friend of the sui

Cuban, to Jacksonville, Fla, under
guard there to be returned to Havana,
Cuba, in consideration of the dismissal

Devega has been living in this city

mas caused the police and other peace
officers OF the county no end of trou-
BILE His most recent offense was chas-
ing travelling man all over one of the
local hotels at the point of a double
barreled shotgun. for which he served
Is days jail sentence. While in jail
the bogus checks cashed by the young
Cuban turned up and charges OF for
gerry were lodged against him. Devega's
father was surveyor of the port of Ha-
vana at the time the Maine was sunk
and rendered the United States govern
ment much assistance at the time. He
sent his son Benjamin 10 this county to
be educated. The elder Devega died a
few months ago, leaving a large for

grown worse in his misdeeds and his
brother agreed to have him sent home

BALDWIN CALLED UP.
Funston's Successor in Trouble With
the Department.

Washington. April 15.-The war de-
partment has taken official cognizance
of the reported statements of General
Frank D. Baldwin, commander of the
Department of the Colorado, in dis
paragement of the Filipinos and negroes
and soldiers, and Secretary Root today
directed a. formal inquiry be addressed
to General Baldwin asking whether or
not he had been correctly quoted Pend
ing a reply no action viii be taken by
the department. General Baldwin IS
fresh from the Philippines and has just
assumed command OF the Department
of the Colorado The alleged remarks
which he is reported to have made were
to the effect that one of his reasons for
liking the Filipino as a soldier was the
same that gave him a preference for
the negro in the same capacity, that IN
a fight he was not worried about his
asfety as it did not make any difference
whether he got killed or not.
