VALLEY TO BECOME A SEA.
Engineer Says Flood Will Follow
 Irrigation In California.

Engineer Says Flood Will Follow
 Irrigation In California.
 Disastrous results from irrigation in the Imperial valley in southern Cali fornia were predicted the other night by George Y. Wisner of Detroit, an engineer and member of the interna- tional waterways commission. Mir. Wisner was speaking before the De troit Engineering society, says a De troit dispatch.
 within twenty years thousands of people who have taken uR government lands in the Imperial valley win be driven out bS water, their homes and fields forming the bottom of an im- mense inland sea" he said.
 "The cause of the coming catastro- phe is poor engineering in diverting the course of the Colorado river for irrigation purposes. The river has cut into the banks of its new course to such an extent that nearly all of the Colorado river flows down into the valley. The engineers realize the dan ger, but after many frantic efforts have failed to change the rivers course back to its old bed.
 Not for twenty years will the eyap- oration down there be equal to the in- flow into the valley. By that time a million acres of the valley, which is from 60 to 265 feet below the sea level, will be covered by an inland sea"

JAPANESE NAVAL SURGERY.
Extraordinary Precautions Taken to
 Protect Men In Battle.

Extraordinary Precautions Taken so
 Protect Men In Battle.
 Surgeon General S Suzuki of the i'm perial Japanese navy in his recent ad- dress at Detroit before the fourteenth convention of military surgeons of the United States made what was declared by Medical Director Joseph s. Wise of the United States navy to be the most valuable contribution of modern times to naval surgery. He described in de- tail the surgical methods used in the Japanese fleet. He told how surgeons, before every engagement, carefully in spected the eyes of all gunners on the warships, how the ears of every man in the fleet were plugged with cotton before the firing began and how Ad- miral Togo fought his fleet from the compass bridge of the Mikasa Instead of the coming tower. Dr. Suzuki said:
 Much of our success in the treat ment of wounds I ascribe to the fact that before every engagement I ordered each member of the crew to bathe and put on perfectly clean underclothing In a great many shot wounds frag- ments of clothing are carried into the body, and our insistence upon clean un- derclothing prevented many cases of blood poisoning among our wounded.
 Our experience during the war prov ed that the coming tower of warship is a most dangerous situation. Frag- ments of shell penetrate through the slits in the tower made to furnish the commanding officer a range of vision and do great damage. Realizing this fact. Admiral Togo in all the naval en- gagements directed his fleet from the compass bridge of the Mikasa without receiving at any time the slightest wound.
 "The vision of the men who fire the guns on warship must necessarily be of the very best if their shots are to count. Before every engagement the surgeons in the Japanese fleets exam ined carefully the eyes of all the gun ners. Any of them found with slight impairment of vision were treated, and if the impairment was too grave to yield to immediate treatment they were transferred to another station and, their places filled by men whose eyes were perfect.
 During engagements every battery crew was supplied with water in which per cent solution of boracic acid had been mixed to wash out their eyes i when they became affected by powder l smoke or dust We also issued to every man in the fleets before going into ac- ton cotton wool with which to plug his ears and thereby prevent rupture of the eardrums by the concussion of the gun fire.

action taken by me regarding MT. Bowen in connection with the charges against you is not merely without foundation in fact, but Is the direct reverse of the truth.
 "You were appointed secretary of state upon Mir. Hays suggestion and request. He never spoke to meaabout | you save with respect and cordial ap- preciation of the services you were rendering, and he expressed to me very great regret that you were going 1 to leave the service and stated that he had hoped that you would stay In as I long as he did and that he would find | it difficult to get any one in your place whom he would like so much.
 MT. Hay expressed himself very freely on the occasion of his hast visit to Washington, including the last occa- sion when I ever saw him alive, as re- gards the action taken by me on the report of MT. Taft concerning the charges made by MT. Bowen against you. Not only did he express himself about Mir. Bowen to me in the Ian guage you quote him as having used at about the same time to you in speaking l of Mir. Bowen, but he also condemned Mr. Bowen in much stronger terms 1 than those which you quote him as having used and dwelt particularly upon the fact of what be- called thu treachery and disloyalty ofsMr. Bower to the government and to him (Mr ! Hay, repeating again and again that
 most of the charges MT. Bowen mad'
 were really not charges against yov at all, but against himself CMr. Hay /, and that MT. Bowen of course knew this.
 Moreover, Mir. Hay used about MT
 Bowen stronger language of condem nation than I have ever heard him us' \ about any other man who bad;seryet
 under him. But this was not all. MT
 Hay then did what he very rarely in
 deed did. He expressed his strong dis
 sent from the action I had taken il
 indorsing MT. Taft's report as regards
 even the mild censure of you which |
 contained, stating that he disagreed
 with both Mr. Taft and myself or
 this point and felt that you were in n,
 way whatever censuraiSle and that thu
 only action that had been called fol
 was the dismissal of MT. Bowen ant
 the announcement of your entire win | dication."

Smallest Dog In the World.

Chiquita, the smallest dog in the world, is coming to New York. Her trip does not require any special prep aration. Her private car will be her masters coat pocket, and at night she will sleep as she does at home. in her masters hat, says the New York Amer lean. Chiquita weighs only twenty three ounces. though she is two and a half years old. She Is one of the last of her race, being a Chihuahua, a breed which fast Is becoming extinct. Aside from being extremely ornament al. Chiquita has a grave and serious mission. She is her masters watch dog and many times has proved a very effectual burglar alarm. She Is owned by Hamiiton Rayner of Ell Paso. but is registered with the American Kennel club of New York.

He was arrested at Il o'clock yesterday morning just as he stepped from his home and was on his way to church.
 Four hours later. after he had defeat ed every effort of Captain McCauley and George S. Dougherty, superintend- ent of the Pinkerton detective agency, to persuade him to confess, he broke down and in food of tears told the complete story of his crime.
 Captain Mcoauley obtained posses sion of mora than one-hah of the stolen securities. The remainder have been located and will soon be in his hands.
 In crder that the full ends of justice may not be defeated and because of the fact that the father and mother of the young man have not been informed of bis crime or of bis arrest his name. at the request of the authorities. is withheld. Be has not been connected with the National Csp bank, which was robbed, nor with Pearl q Go, the firm of bankers which had hypothecat- cd with the bank the securities that were purioined.
