MAY RESTORE LOST LAKE.
Sudden Changes in sa'ton Sea Lead
Government to Act.

Sudden Changes in Saiton Sea Lead
Government to Act.
Washington, Jan. 16.-The changes
now taking place in that part of south
ern California which is known as the
Salton sink, Salton sea, Imperial valley
or Colorado desert, have resulted ir
the director of the United States geo.
logical survey ordering an immediate
survey Of the entire area.
What is now a fertile and populous
valley, was many centuries a great
lake or inland sea a hundred miles ir
length, into which flowed the waters
Of the Colorado river. Owing te
changes in the course of the river the
inflow ceased and the water of the
lake finally evaporated. At the lowest
point in the valley salt marsh was
left, the bottom of which was nearly
800 feet below sea level.
Lake Now Being Restored.
About a year ago an irrigation COM
,pany cut shallow ditch through the
bank of the Colorado river into the
BASIN A little later. at a time when
the water IN the river was very high
the banks of the ditch were cut away
and its bottom was secured out by the
rapid current. so that now practically
the entire volume of water in the river
flows into the basin.
During the past six or eight months
thousands of dollars have been ex-
pended in various Intellectual attempts
to control the inflow of the river. The
salt marsh has been enlarged to form a
lake forty or fifty miles in length. the
water rising at the rate Of about an
inch a day.
Data Sought by Surveyors.
The proposed surveys will furnish
data for an accurate map of that por-
ton of the lake that lies within the
United. States and will enable the car
tographers of the survey to show. in
correct position on the map the num-
erous towns within the area, the chan
nels of the two streams that carry the
water of the Colorado river to the lake
and various other Typographical
features. With these data in hand, a
careful estimate can be made of the
time that it would take to fill this
great lake basin again should the
course of the Colorado river not be
changed.

BRIEF FILED In ROGERS CASE.
Attorney GeneraI HadIey and Stand
ard Oil Attorneys File Briefs.

New York, Jan. 16-Attorney Gen.
eral Herbert S. Hadley OF Missouri de-
clared In brief which he submitted.
to Justice Gildersleeve IN the New
York state supreme court yesterday.
that question materially the same as
such question as he asked Fl. H.
Rogers In the Standard Oh hearing
in this city, was NOW pending in the
Missouri supreme court. The brief
was filed In answer to the contention by
the Standard OIL counsel, that the New
York state supreme court ought not to
decide whether Rogers Shall be COM
PEELED to answer Hadley's question,
because practically the same ques-
tions are pending In the Missouri
court. The questions are whether the
stock of the Standard Oil Company of
Indiana, the Waters-Pieree Oil Com
pany and the Republic Oil Company
are held by the same person or cor
poration.
Points Of Rogers Brief.
William " Rowe and Frank Hag-
german submitted briefs for Mr.. Rog-
ers. The points in Rewes brief are:
First, the tendency of proceedings tn
the supreme court Of Missouri conclu-
sively precludes this court from enter
tanning or deciding the question of ma
teriality Of testimony, respecting per-
sonal stock ownership or his know
ledge of stock ownership OF other par
ties.
Second. The sensational method
of conducting personal examination
has merited judicial condemnation
and invites the closest scrutiny of the
questions now submitted to the court.
Third The questions presented to
the court upon record are imnaterial
to the issues in the case
Fourth The witness is entitled
and must receive the protection Of
this court against this invasion OF his
personal rights
Demands Proper Rsspeot.

Senator Bracket declared In the
opening Of the debate that he had in
troduced the resolution in obedience to
what he believed to be the Solemn
demand Of right thinking people Of the
state" He denied that he had the
slightest wish to humiliate Senator De-
pew, More than was necessarily inn

kind" He asserted that there was a
lack of confidence in the senator nam
ed, which had been caused by recent
disclosures. He denied the assertion
that it was not within the province Of
the senate to pass a resolution on the
subject, in reference to which it had
no authority to enforce action, and
cited resolutions adopted on the Vene-
zuelan situation, and coal strike, sew
eral years ago. Bracket declared
that although he had voted for De-
pew, he had been opposed to his re-
election to the senate, because he had
believed him unfit for the office and
representative Of unwholesome forces.

to blush for shame at the representa-

haps even to the courts themselves,
which tended to undermine the very
