PLANT EXPERIMENT
 IN COLORADO DELTA
The Reclamation Service at Yuma
 Furnishes Asststsnce.

Washington. D. C., June 23.-(Spec- ial)-The reclamation service is CO., operating heartily with the bureau of plant industry in aseries of experi- ments which the latter is initiating in the vicinity of Yuma, Ariz. A plot of ground controlled by the service has been turned over to the plant experts. who propose to experiment with cotton and other crops.
 The delta of the Colorado river has always possessed a singular fascina- ton for the scientific men of the de- partment Of agriculture, and the results of these experiments cannot fail to prove of inestiEj ble value to the set tiers who will take up homes in this region as soon as the governments ir- rigation works are completed.
 It is a demonstrable fact that no oth- CT portion of the United States, when irrigated. is capable of supporting a denser population than the Colorado delta. Five acres properly cultivated and irrigated will support a family in comfort, as the crop season is practi- cally continuous. One crop follows an- other throughout the year. Oranges, pomelos. melons. all the small fruits and vegetables mature earlier here than in California. and consequently are marketable at the top prices.

BARNES P. M.
 WASHINGTON
Confirmation of Long Held
 Up Appointment
Fir. Tillman Takes Occasion ts Re- call the Mrs. Minor Morris Inel- dent at the White Hsuss.

Washington. June z3-BenI F. Barnes. assistant secretary to the pres ident. was today confirmed by tho senate in executive session as post master at Washington The vote was 35 to Is. By a reverse vote a resOlu- tion was defeated providing for an iu- vestigation of the Mrs. Minor Morris incident in March. when by order or Mir. Barnes the woman was ejected from the White House offices. The nomination had been pending since April ?.
 The procedure in the senate was dra- matic. Senator Tilman went over the testimony which the committee on postOffices and post roads declined To receive when it refused to enter upon an investigation of Mrs Morris affair." He had read the statements of eve wit nesses and then drew from under his desk a black silk skirt wrapped in a newspaper. This was the skirt worn by Mrs. Morris when she was carried or dragged as he claimed. from the White House. It was torn and muddy. showing the imprints of shoes. IL was charged by MT. Tillman that the lower part of the wOmans body had been trampled upon by the police officers and White House attendants. including a negro. who had assisted in taking her to carriage.
 No effort was made by any senator to defend the action Of the police Senator Carter said that if there had been any assault upon the woman the police alone were to blame. He said that Mir. Barnes could not be held re- sponsible. as the i'll treatment. # any. had occurred outside of the offices.
 Senator Tillman gave notice that on Tuesday he will repeat his remarks iu the open senate and exhibit the torn clothing of Mrs Morris. He will fin1 the Occs sion for this in moving for a vote on his resolution asking for an investigatio Of the police force
 Senator Tillman said that 1t was A peculiar coincidence that the only ey- witnesses who defended the incident were Elmer F.. Payne. a newspsper man who had received a naval acsd- emy appointment for his son. and the police, whose superintendent. Richard Sylvester. had received like favor from the hand of the president

PRESIDENT
 FOR PANAMA
lie Will Spend a Week in
 Canal Zone
In Consequence Or Decision An.
 nsuneed Yesterday His Western
 Enkssemsnts Have Been Cancelled.

Washington, June 23.-The president will visit the Isthmus of Panama to make a personal investigation of con- struction work on the Panama canal. This announcement was made at the White House today by Secretary Loeb. It is said that the president will leave late in October or early in November. He will be absent about three weeks. The trip, it is believed, will be made on one of the big cruisers of the navy, but on which vessel is yet undeter- mined.
 None of the details have been worked out beyond the bare decision to make the trip. It is likely that the presi- dent will be accompanied by Secretary Taft and Chairman Shonts of the Pan anna commission.
 The president long has desired to in- spect the route of the canal and to make himself personally familiar with the great undertaking. He will be able to spend at least a week in the zone, and in that time he will famil- iarize himself with the situation.
 In connection with the announce ment of the presidents intention to
 
 president had decided not to visit San Francisco next autumn to participate in the laying of the cornerstone of the new federal building. While the presi- dent, it can be said, desires to do any thing he can properly to promote con- struction, he cannot make the trip to both Panama and San Francisco.
 For several weeks he has been con- sidering making trip next spring through the middle west-in Ohio, h. diana, Michigan, Illinois. Missouri, Oklahoma and perhaps other states. But since the announcement was made of the likelihood of his taking the trip such Q mass of invitations have been received that he has given up the plan It became evident that if he should accept one-tenth of the invitations the trip would occupy two or three months. The probability is that he will go next May to Lansing. Mich, to attend the semi celebration of the es- tablishment Of the agricultural college in this country. There he will meet many of the prominent educators of the country. The trip will be brief, oc- cupying probably not more than four or five days.

HENS STRANGE BROOD
 YOUTHFUL POINTERS
Her Acceptance Of a Responsibility
 Apparently threwn Upon Her.

If Owen Mister had not written his
 book, "The Virginian' some four years ago, and in that book told the story
 of Emily the hen, that particular fowl
 which the Virginian argued was hatch
 cd from bunch of eggs all of which had been added by stroke Of light
 ming except the one from which Emily emerged. Phoenix might have set up the claim as being the place where the author first heard that part of his story. At any rate, there is at
 the home of Fen Hildrcth. the re- ceiver of the United States land office, a hen with the habits of the hen Emily which Mister made known to the world. Like the hen in the story of the Virginian. the hen in the Hiidreth poultry yard insists on wing mother
 to litter of pups. The circumstances of the case perhaps give her good req son to believe she is the mother by
 rights.
 MT. Hildrth is the owner of very fine female pointer. Some weeks ago
 the pointer gave birth to four of about
 as fine specimens of the breed as it had chosen a place in hay stack for kennel several days before the pups were born and in this place she re- clined and refused to come out of it for food or water. Near at hand was a nest on which hen had been setting nearly through the matching period. She left the nest for few minutes one afternoon and returned only to find the eggs had disappeared and in the nest were the four blind pups. In her ab- sence they had been born and likely before their birth the mother pointer had eaten the eggs. She was then con- tent to leave her kennel.
 On her return she found the hen seated on the entire litter, and Mir. Hill dreth had also seen her mothering the pups on every occasion possible. At night she rounds them up although it takes a great deal of clucking and drives them into her nest. The pointer mother appears to approve of the whole transaction and acts as if she was glad to have the hen take the job off her hands She consents how ever, at intervals of the day, to Feed her puppies, but then leaves them when this perfunctOry ceremony is accomplished. She appears to under stand the hen perfectly and the hen her. The puppies are now old enough to walk and their eyes have opened They run when the old hen clucks and look where she scratches.
 MT. Hildreth agrees with the Virgin ian who guessed that the puppies must thiRk that the hen is the nurse

THE SENATE.

Washington, June 23.-Three hours of today's open session Of the senate were divided between the meat inspection provision of the agricultural appropri- alton bill and d resolution by Senator Long calling on the attorney general for information concerning the suits brought by him under the antitrust laws.
 The meat inspection debate occurred on a motion by Senator Proctor to send the agricultural bill to conference and after speeches by Senators Bailey Warren and Gallinger that motion was adopted.
 Mir. Bailey declared the house inspec- tion provision was uneXceptional; Mir Warren defended the interests of the stock growers and Mir. GalIinger urged the necessity for close inspection at the pens of the packers.
 The Long resolution was amended at the instance of Senators Foraker and Bacon, but it's consideration was not concluded. Senator FOra1er again took opportunity 10 express his disapproval of the railroad rate bill. saying that the failure of the measure in confer ence would have proved a godsend to the country.
 The sundry civil appropriation bill was sent to conference and another conference bill. leaving only one item Of disagreement, was acted upon.

ANTI-PAss FEATURE.
Occasioned the Principal Debate on
 Rate Bill Report.

Washington. June 23.-The house to- day by a vote of 216 to 4 adopted the conference report on the rate bill. MT. Hepburn of Iowa, chairman of the 1n- terstate and foreign commerce com mittee of the house and chairman of the conferees on the bill, called up the conference report immediately after passage of the pure food bill. He asked that the report be considered at once instead of going over for printing until Monday.
 Explaining the sleeping car'' and ''anti-pass" amendments. he stated that the sleeping car provision remains in the bill. while the anti-pass amend ment has been modified so as to apply only to the federal. state and teri tOrial officers, officials of the postof- flee department in certain particulars being exempt.
 MT. Henry of Texas asked if under the anti-pass amendment passes might be issued to delegates to conventions, to shippers, to railroad officials, fami- lies. etc.
 T so understand it, said Mir. Hep burn.
 Then I think the anti-pass amend ment as reported by the conferees worse than nothing at all' said MT. Henry.
 Mir. Hepburn explained that it was the purpose of the conferees to remedy what has been alleged to be the great evil of the pass. the influence it had upon those who represent the people.
 MT. Hepburn was then asked about the pipe line provision" and he ex- plained that the conferees had substi- tuted common carrier" for railway
 MT. Cooper of Wisconsin wanted to know if passes could be issued until January l. 1907, to congressman and during the approaching campaign. MT. Hepburn admitted that this is the case.
 MT. Williams of Mississippi thought the pass amendment should be amend ed so that the families of senators and representatives, and in fact all persons affected by the amendment. be prohib- ited from soliciting passes for any body. He protested against the man. ner in which the conference report was being railroaded through. He asked unanimous consent for an agreement along the lines of his suggestion. The speaker held that the senators had something to say in the matter, that the conference report represents the ef- forts of the conferees of both houses.
