CHINESE AND ITALIAN
W0RKMEN IN CONFLICT
Dispute In an Alaska Packing Camp
Leads to Desperate Siege
and Fatal Battle

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23.-News
of race war that broke out in the
salmon packing camp at Nushagak,
Alaska, between the Chinese and Ital-
ian workmen last month was brought
down by the salmon packer Salvador,
which arrived here this morning.
A petty dispute between an Italian
and Chinese brought on general
engagement. and for days 100 Chinese
were besieged in the bunk house by a
mob of enraged Italians who swore
they would exterminate the last Mon
golian in the camp, The riot was
finally quelled by troops summoned by
the superintendent from the nearest
military post after several had been
killed and wounded on both sides.
After the battle was over a drum
head court martial was called to fix
the blame for the outbreak. but It was
impossible to place 1t,

DELEGATES MOSTLY ABSENT
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 23.-That the
plan of holding the deliberations of
the National Irrigational congress in
sections, initiated at the instance of
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, is a
failure seems to be the consensus of
opinion among the delegates to the
congress which is now in session in
Portland. and in this view some of the
here to address the sections coincide
Notwithstanding that there are in
Portland about 1900 accredited dele
gates to the congress, not more than
fifty or seventy-fve all told have at
tended the sectional meetings either
yesterday or today.
The work Of the congress Is being
done by the resolutions committee and
the only interest that has been evinced
since the general session on the OPEN
ing day has been over the arguments
which have taken place during it's
meetings. This committee has been
attended by about fifty more delegates
and the 1000 others are spending their
time in viewing the fair or visiting
different points Of interest about the
city.
Answering a question of the repre-
sentative of the Associated Press as
to what he thought of the plan,
Former Governor l.. B. Prince of New
Mexico crystallized the sentiment
which prevails by saying: Think
about it? it requires no thought; it
speaks for itself; it is a failure"
Another prominent delegate said:
1.-The congresses at Ell Paso and Port
land have been fizzles. But what can
we do? We cannot afford to antag-
onize the wishes of the government,
for without it's support we cannot ex
list, and if the present arrangement
continues l don't believe we will be
a BILE to exist much longer with it."
Interesting papers were read in the
different sections before groups of
from five to twenty-five. but with such
sparse attendance it was hard for the
speakers to do themselves justice and
discussion was at minimum.
Much Acrimony Displayed
The resolutions committee, whose
sessions have been marked by much
stormy talk, held three sessions today.
Two hours and half were consumed
at the morning session in acrimonious
disputes as to the merits of resolu-
ton which tended to do away with an
alleged confusion in the minds of east
ern people, who are, it is said, unaware
that the National Irrigation congress
and the National Irrigation associa-
ton are entirely different organiza-
tions. Before the resolution was
adopted the debate at times grew ex-
ceedingly heated and at one period 1t
resolved itself into personal attack
upon some Of the officials of the irri-
cation association.
But few resolutions have been
adopted in committee so far, the prin-
cipal ones being the Endorsement of
separate statehood for Oklahoma, New
Mexico and Arizona, and one which
declares that the government should
not interfere with or prevent private
enterprise from constructing reser-
voirs for reclamation purposes on the
Rio Grande river i'm New Mexico and
on the Colorado above El Paso.

dents efforts to bring the belligerents
to compromise. That the president
should have asked Mr.. Meyer to make
a personal appeal to the emperor in his
name. for it has been little less than
that. shows how much in earnest the
president is.
1t was at just such a personal aud
ience with Mr.. Meyer that the emperor
gave his consent to send plenipoten-
tiaries to the peace conference.

The park commissioners agreed to ask
for $1S6,0OO with which to take care Of
the parks. The committee chopped off
$4,000, allowing the department SILL
600, which is considerably more than
1t had last year.

Street Superintendent Hampered

These cuts are made absolutely neces-
sary by the shortage in funds and will
materially change the plans of the
heads of some of the departments. In
the case of the street department 1t
will preclude the raise in wages Of the
men on the streets which it was hoped
was to be made. 1t will also make it
impossible for superintendent Hanley
to put the extra teams and men to
work which he hoped to do
In the police department the short
age of money will stop the contem-
plated reorganization and enlarging of
the force which is so much needed.
The fire department will be forced to
get along without the building Of new
fire houses to replace old ones, and it
will be practically impossible to in
crease the force.
The cut in the park appropriation
seriously affects the department, as
many contemplated Improvements
must be given up and the park system
as it is today, without any extension,
will havesto be conducted on an econ
omica1 basis.
Sources of Income
Owing to the fact that number of
the city departments are self-support-
ing, or partially so, the figures show
ing the total allowance do not appear
to tally with the city's income. The
total allowances made were $2.s26, ,oSO. .09,
