personal injury.
The mob then forced the police cor

mirrors and threw missiles at Kubelik.
The concert was then stopped and the
audience dispersed amid a fire of Of
fensive epithets. The demonstrations
were continued outside the hotel where
KubeIik was staying and the police had

OFFERS A REWARD FOR
ARREST OF MURDERER
Widow OF Joseph Buttgenbach, Who
Was Shot and Killed i'm His Office,
Stimulates Police.

The widow of the late Joseph Butt
genbach, who was shot and killed in
his office at Fourth and Shipley
streets on Saturday night, March s.
is determined to bring his murderer
to justice if it can possibly be done.
Yesterday her attorney, Frank G..
Drury, notified Captain Martin that
Mrs. Buttgenbach would offer $1,000
reward for such Information as would
lead to the arrest and conviction of
the person, or persons who murdered
her husband.
Mrs. Buttgenbach is steadfast in her
belief that her son Albert had nothing
to do with the murder, and she
suffered keenly while he was under
arrest on suspicion. Her belief in his
innocence has never wavered. and
now she is anxious to have the boys
character cleared from the stigma by
offering the reward in the hope that
it will stimulate the police in their
search for the perDetrator of the
deed.
Detective Ryan is still working
quietly on the case.

BAUER REACHES HIGHEST
ACHIEVEMENT IN FANTASIE
Each Recital Only Further Convinces
Hearers of the Great Pianists
Powers.

1 have changed my mind. Not
Beethoven, but Schumann. is Harold
Bauer's alter ego. Last night, at the
pianist's last recital but one, he gave
the Schumann Fantasie in c. that
was absolutely the biggest piano-play-
ing that has been heard here. Each
recital only further convinces of Mr..
Bauer's powers. He is a giant,
thick forelock, if not a head. taller
than the rest, and in the fantasie the
pianist touched his highest peak of
achievement. His art is Supremely in
tellectual, and its brilliant sanity, its
superb balance, its moving lyrical
quality, made a Schumann of a not
to-be-d described beauty. There was the
Bach Italian concerto, a laughably
lovely rendering. There was a Chopin
group, with the c sharp etude that
followed as encore. taken at a tempo
not more than three times that of any
one else-yet limpidity itself-a stu
pendous performance.
So also the Alkan study in unison,
in which for a moment Mr.. Bauer
became the virtuoso for virtuosity's
sake. His pyrotechnics are just as
magnificent as his poetry, and both
the best the years are likely to bring
us for long.
To-day is the last recital, this af-
ternoon at 1920, at Lyric Hall. What
particular penance Lent involves, let
it not be abstinence from this. 1t

TO SAVE
FRESNO LANDS
Irrigation Experts Investi-
gate and Report Upon a
Proposed Drainage System
WATER MAY BRING RUIN
Seepage From Canals Rises
to Surface and Destroys
Properties of the Soil

Reports from the irrigation experts
Of the Department of Agriculture and
the University Of California upon the
drainage systems necessary to save the
vineyard and orchard lands in the
vicinity of Fresno have so far matured
that actual work. on the systems may
now go forward at any time These
reports are embodied in a bulletin writ
ten by c. G. Elliott, agent and expert
on irrigation investigation. which was
issued at the university to-day.
The experts found from the start that
they would have to contend with the
alkali, which the abundance of water
dissolves from the soil in the vicinity Of
Fresno and by the process of evapora-
ton concentrates at the surface. Not
alone is this alkali injurious to or
excess Of water that fills the soil. The
evil has been growing so that it threat
ems TO end in the final destruction of
thousands Of acres Of producing land.
During the investigation the irriga-
ton experts examined some 300 square
miles Of land, the design being to Sc
cure data upon which to predicate
plans for draining off the surplus un-
derground water.
It has been found that the shallow
drains used in some places do not pre-
vent the rise of the alkah to the sur
face. Instead Of two and three feet
deep, the drains should be five and
seven feet deep. These drains will be
most effective when laid one-half mile
apart in east and west parallel lines,
as they may thus be accessible to the
owners Of land on either side. The
surplus water that drains into them,
it is found, may be used again for ir-
rigation purposes, instead Of being al
lowed to run 10 waste.
According to the estimates, the cost
Of a proper system of drainage for the
district viii be about $3.50, 600.

HAW All WILL
Be FORTIFIED
Bill Providing for PrOtec-
tiOn of the Islands Meets
With Approval of Senate
THE MEASURE is PASSED
SOlOns Appropriate $526,1OO
to Purchase Sites for Pro
posed Means of Defense

WASHINGTON, March Is. - The
Senate to-day resumed consideration
Of the fortifications appropriation BILL
the pending question being the COM
mittee amendment appropriating $780,
900 for the purchase of a submarine
torpedo-boat for experimental pur-
poses.
In response to a request from Sena-
tor Lodge, Senator Perkins explained
the reasons which actuated the COM
mittee in striking out the House pro-
vision of the bill appropriating $780,
600 for the purchase of sites for de-
fenses in the Hawaiian Islands, say
ing the committees action was due to
the fact that the Government had no
option on the land for this purpose
and that therefore it might have the
effect of placing the Government at
the mercy of real estate owners. He
also said the amount named was not
sufficient.
SpoOner and Foraker took the posi-
ton that on account of the outlying
position Of Hawaii the United States
should be prompt in providing for it's
protection and Perkins said he was
willing if a sum sufficient to accom-
plish the purpose sought could be Sc
cured. In accordance with Perkins
suggestion Spooner offered an amend
ment appropriating $526.1O0 instead
of 100000. This amendment was ac-
cepted without division.
By common consent the Senate re-
sumed consideration of the torpedo
boat amendment and Gallinger offered
substitute providing for competition
in securing vessel of the type desired.
The amendment was defeated-17
to So.
The Notifications bill, as amended,
was then passed and the Senate went
into executive session.

statement that the Northern Securities

Until the full official copies of the
opinions and decree of the Supreme
Court have been received and our at

advise us as to our course of pro-
cedure, the officers of the company can
make no further announcement than
to declare their purpose to promptly
