themselves Of 1t to the full. William

a strong portrayal of lars. Dane. The
remainder Of the Company do sterling
work. The production is elaborate
and reflects the greatest credit on stage
director Frederic Sullivan. The bill for
the coming week viii be Mrs. Leffiin-

For almost a century the M~exicaus
living along the river have made large
use OF its waters for the of
irrigating their lands. But in recent
years private companies on the upper
waters in the United States have, by
the construction Of wing dams, di.
verified a large part Uf the water to
this side of the river. The Mexicans
have preferred claims for the damage
sustained, but so far they have not
been allowed. The principle of the
convention is the recognition of the
common law right Of the Mexicans to
the use OF a fair share of the waters
OF the river, but az the United States
government is put to the entire ex.
pense OF great dams and canals, the
Mexican share is only a fractional
proportion of the whole flow.
1t is estimated that the impounded
waters will suffice to irrigate about
2OO,O 900 acres OF otherwise arid land.
and it Is stipulated that of this total
$4,000 acre feet Of water which is to
make arabic about $4,000 acres of
land, will be delivered IN the Mexican
side OF the border each year.

Charged With Land Frauds

PORTLAND, Ore, May l9.-Details
Of an important land fraud Indictment
returned by the federal grand jury
April Q and involving business men of
Los Angeles, San Francisco and
southwestern Oregon, was made pub.
lie tonight by United States District
Attorney w. A. Bristol. The indict-
ment. as usual, charges violation of
section $40 of the revised statutes.
The property alleged to have been
fraudulently secured lies in south.
western Curry county, Oregon, and
consists Of 5000 acres, practically all
in one tract, of fine timber2land. The
indictment charges with conspiracy to
defraud the government of timber
land by securing entrymen to file upon
land with the intention of disposing
Of it to the alleged co~nspirators.
Los ANGELES, May 2O.-The several
Los Angeles business and professional
men indicted at Portland, Ore, in
connection with the land frauds in
that state, all deny that they had any
connection whatever with the alleged
crime. Warren Gillelen, president OF
the Broadway Bank and Trust com
pany, and among the best known OF
the indicted men, states positively
that he was not Interested in any way
in Oregon land deals Of any sort, and
insists that there must be some mis-
take. X. w. Kenny, while admitting
that the above named financial insti,
tuition. of which he is cashier. had
made 4 loan on some Oregon land
says that they had no connection with
the matter further than the transac.
ton Of an ordinary business propo'
sitiou. The other indicted men are
equally strong in their denials.

Considering Rate Bill.

WASHINGTON. May 21.-The rail-
road rate bill was considered for three
hours tonight by the house committee
Oh Interstate and foreign commerce,
and the decision reached to recon.
mend disagreement to all the senate
amendments and to send the bill; to
conference. The committee will not
ask that instructions of any character
be given to the house conferees.
There was no disposition to criticize
the amendment comforting jurisdiction
on the courts to review orders made
by the interstate commerce committee,
for in the house committee, as we'll as
in the senate, many members con-
tended that the bill as it was passed
by the house gave that authority to
the courts. The amendment and
others. which collectively are known
as the Allison compromise, undoubt-
eddy will be agreed to by the house
conferees.
The amendment which gave the
house committee the greatest concern
tonight was that making pipe lines
common carriers, which the committee
thought inconsistent with the amend
ment prohibiting common carriers
from producing commodities carried
by them. Formal action was not had
on any Of the amendments, and there.
fore the house conferees likely will be
LEFT free to act according to their best
Judgment.
