WASHINGTON March 8.-There is to
he contest regarding committee jurisdc-
tion of dams between the river and har-
Dor committee and the committee on in

tion which brings this question before the
rules committee for action has, been in
troduced by Mr.. Burton Of Ohio, chair
man of the rivers and harbors commit
tee. upon which a hearing will be re-
quested.
The resolution has its inspiration be-
cause of attention which the commerce
commission is now giving a measure pro-
viding that water may be taken from the
Sacramento river IN California for irriga-
tion purposes. Much money has been ex-
pended on this river under the supervision
of the rivers and harbors committee to
make 1t navigable This has been ac-
complished for distance of 966 miles The
proposition to allow water to he taken
from the stream. will render e too low
for navigation by the river boats. accord
ing to the belief of members OF Mr. Bur-
toms committee. Hence the resolution,
which prescribes that hereafter all bills
for dams across nayigab1e streams shall

COMPROMISE ON STATEHOOD
New Mexico aud Arizona May he Per-
mitted TO settle Question
for Themselves.

WASHINGTON. March H.-That the
senate and house will reach a compromise
on the statehood bill which will permit
Arizona and New Mexico each to decide for
themselves the question of their admission
as one state. seems correct conclusion
from present indications.
The conferees met today for the second
time and while the session was devoted TO
what are termed the minor amendments,
there are indications that a basis OF agree
ment on the chief question Is suggesting
itself naturally and will result in the
restoration OF Arizona and New Mexico TO
the bill with the Foraker amendment and
inquiry among the senators who opposed
the original house bill indicates that they
will accept this compromise.
The senate amendment defining the limits
Of the prohibition territory in Oklahoma is
regarded as the result OF general agrec-
ment between all parties Interested and Is
acceptable. Likewise there seems little OBJ
lection to the senate provision allowing lieu
school lands to be selected in place OF
school lands found 10 be mineral lands.
Other senate amendments are TO be consid-
cred Friday.

PIERCE REPORTS ON coNsULs
Conduct Of Former Representatives OF
Government in China f.
Severely Criticized.

WASHINGTON. March 2S.-The president
today sent to the house OF representatives
the report OF Herbert II. D. Peirce. as
sistant secretary OF state. regarding the
consular service in the orient. The mes
sage is accompanied by letter from Sec
retary Root, IN which he says:
l wish to call especial attention TO one
feature Of these reports. They disclose
grave misconduct on the part OF two con-
suls formerly occupying important posts in
the east. These consuis are no longer In
the service. / regret to say, however, that
there are indications OF other cases OF mis-
conduct or ineficiency among consuls In
various parts of the world.
These cases, the secretary says, shows
the necessity of a regular inspection serv-
ice.
The visit of Mr.. Peirce included many
cities but his severe criticism Is reserved
for ex-Consul General Goodnow at Shan
ghai, ex-Consul General Mcwade at Cam
ton and Consul williams. at Singapore.
The charges against McWade former
consul at Canton. are drunkenness, employ
ment OF a felon. issuance OF fraudulent
Chinese certificates, extending protection TO
Cinnamon who claim to be American citi-
zens, persecution Of American citizens for
purposes OF revenge and corruption in of
fice.
The charges against former Consul Gen
eral Goodnow at Shanghai are eighty-two
in number, some serious and some slight.
Some are suficient to support suits at
law and giving evidence of corruption in
ONCE The opinion Of the better element
was unfavorable to him in Shanghai. The
report states that Consul General Levi l..
Wilcox at Hankau cannot be said to be a
useful consular officer"
Regarding Mr. Greener at vladivostok
the report says: "Everywhere throughout
the east I received unfavorable reports of
Mr.. Greener. His habits are said to be ex-
tremely bad" Other complaints of him are
that he has faults relative to his accounts.
Several consuls are commended as ex-
cellent.

LIGHT VOTE IN ARKANSAS
Bad weather Interferes with Full

Primaries.

LITTLE ROCK. Ark March 2S.-Calcu-

cratic state primaries today. were upset by
bad weather and a consequently light vote
in large part of the state.
In the contest for the United States
senatorship, James r. Berry carried Benton
county, his home, by 800 over Governor Jeff
Davis. Later returns, however. show that
Governor Davis had large vote in the
country precincts The total vote of the
state in the primary will decide the senator
ship and as the lengthy ticket makes the
count slow. definite figures will necessarily
be delayed. Both the Berry and Davis
forces appear equally confident tonight.
