SHORT ON DAM SITES.
Engineer Newell Reports on Irriea-
ton Prospects in Kansas.

Washington, Jan. 15.-F. H. Newell
chief engineer of the United States
geological survey, reports concerning
western irrigation. that a summary of
the report of w. G. Russell, hydro
grapher of the United States geolOgi-
cal survey, of a reconnaissance in
southwestern Kansas indicates that in
that section of the state, and also in
adjacent portions of southeastern Colo
RADIO. suitable reservoir sites probably
do not exist. 1t is questioned whether
a more detailed examination by the en-
gineers is desirable. Mr.. Russell states
that on the Cimarron river it is posi-
BILE a. reservoir site may be found in
! the vicinity of Kenton, Ok, or farther
up stream, but the water supply is I'M
certain. The river does not head in
mountain areas which contain any con-
siderable amount of snow, and there are
| fewer indications of flood waters in the
| upper portion of the course than in the
lower. The North Canadian river is
similar to the Cimarron, as its head
waters are also located in a country
not we'll adapted to furnishing large
and continuous supplies of water.
| Mr.. Russell recommends that a gauge
| be established on the CimarrOn river at
or near Kenton, and also one on the
| headwaterS of Beaver creek near the
New Mexican line. Owing to the fact
that the Cimarron in Kansas flows over
a. sandy bed and has low banks with
broad bottom lands on one or both
sides. the opportunities for the con-
structiOn of an economical dam are
not offered. Mr.. RusselPs report does
not indicate that the utilization of the
surface waters of this portion of the
state for irrigation on a large scale is
practicable. A few opportunities were
found where private capital might to
advantage construct works which
would irrigate small tracts of rich bot
tom lands

ULTlMATUM TO PANAMA
French Government Requires
the Pope's Approval.

Rome, Jan. 15.-The French govern
ment has presented the vatican with a
note in the nature of an ultimatum re-
garding the appointments of bishops
to five vacant French sees, subsequent
ly saying that either the pope must ap-
prove the selection of the French gov
eminent or they will be announced Off
cial1y without the appreciation of the
holy see. In addition, the papal nuncio
will be asked to leave Paris, and the
clergy will be forbidden to collect
Peters pence in the churches, but the
concordat will not yet be denounced
The rumor that the pope had decided
to approve the appointments is incor-
rect. The vatican hopes to be able to
continue the negotiations.

MACHINISTS BANQUET.
The Local Organization Also Listens
to CongratuIatory Address.

The banquet given last night at the
Oxford hotel by the members of local
lodge No. "a to the district lodge dele
gates who are meeting in the city. was
attended by over 100 machinists en-
ployed by the Santa Fe. 1t was at first
thought that so plates would be suffi-
Gent, but it was necessary to lay Gov
ers for about 40.
A programme was given, the prin-
ciDal feature of which was the address
by T. L. Wilson, fourth vice president
of the national machinists' association.
Mr. Wilson congratulated the associa-
ton upon the progress that it has made
during the last year and stated further
that according to statistics that have
been secured about 95 per cent. of the
total number of machinists employed
on the lines of the Santa F'e are mem
bers of the association.
1t is not probable that Mr.. Wilson's
visit here is significant of any trouble
between the Santa Fe and their en-
ployes. 1t has only been a few months
since the company authorized an in
crease of two cents an hour in the
wages of their machiniStS.

strength Of his force along a broad
front
The opposing forces were in touch

Besides this direct movement, the

previous dispatch contained the
information that battle south Of
Mukden ragged uninterruptedly all Of
Tuesday and into the night. 1t was
continued Wednesday. The results
have not been decisive. The Russians
have a heavy force on the Japanese
right TO the Taitse river, but it is
believed that the japanese have check
ed the Russian turning movement.
Field Marshal Oyama repor S that
there was fighting along almost the
entire line since October 10, and that
the Japanese are gaining ground and
that the Russian attack on Sien-Chang

Of Mukden, was repulsed
A general japanese advance along

INV0KES CONGRESS
Judge Jones Suggests Higher
Law for LyncherS
IN GRAND JURY CHARGE.
The Federal Government Has Power
to Punish Where state Fails.
Charge Creates Something OF
Suspicion.

Judge Thomas G. Jones, of the
United States court of the northern
district of Alabama, charged the
newly organized jury at HuntsviIs@
Tuesday in deliverance which has
been received in the nature of a sen-
sation.
His charge occupied the attention
of the jury for nearly two hours and
deals largely with the question Of
congressional legislation for the pro-
lection of prisoners against state
mobs.
Judge Jones instructed the jury to
investigate the recent Naples lynch
ing with the view Of ascerIaining if
any offenses had been committed
against the laws OF the United States
by the mob that lynched Horace Ma
pies.
1t is understood that the grand jury,
composed of citizens of north Ala
bama, will take up the matter yigor-
ously.
Among other things Judge Jones
said:
Lately, as the court knows from
common knowledge, as well as from
reuorts Of its officers, a mob gathered
in stones throw of this room, and
in insolent defiance Of the judges and
laws of our state, and with studied
insult and contempt for its civil and
military power which sought to pro-
tect the Huntsville jail, assaulted the
assembled forces of the law at their
post OF duty there. 1t broke down
the doors of the jail, set it on fire, re-
sisted efforts to put out the flames,
and INSTRUCTED officers OF the United
States in their endeayors to remove
United States prisoners from their
cells to a place Of safety. This fren-
zied and savage work was done that
Horace Naples, a negro, a citizen CS
Alabama and the United States, who
was there confined to be safely kept
to answer the laws of the state of Ala
bama upon a charge of murder,
should not be so kept and disposed Of
according to law, but instead, should
be delivered to the mob and lawless-
ly put to death.
The question comes unbidden to
your lips, have you any duty to per-
form with reference to- these offenses?
The answer involves inquiry wheth-
er congress has power to punish such
an offense, and if so, has it exercised
that power by appropriate legislation?
The great importance of the princi-
pies involved and the value of a right
understanding of them demand that
the court should give at length the
reason O. the law as well by the law
itself that you may the better un-
derstand how to apply it.
If congress has the power now to
punish the offense in any phase of it,
that power must be found in the thir-
