PR0TESTANTS FINISH
 IN SHOOT CASE
4 Report Will Be Made to the Senate
 This Session.

Washington, Feb. S.-The Senator Shoot case, so far as the introduction of the testimony of the protestants is concerned, probably will be closed to- morrow. An announcement to that ef- feet was made by John c. Carlisle who has been prosecuting the case at the present session of congress, at the close of the proceedings today. The defense has not announced the mum Der of witnesses it expects to call nor when it will be ready to proceed.
 The hearing today dealt with alleg- ed Mormon interference in political af- fairs and the secrets of the endowment ceremony. Three witnesses testified that they had taken the obligation ad- ministered and they recalled it there was a variance in the form as it re- lated to an agreement to avenge the blood Of the prophets.
 Henry w Lawrence of Salt Lake said he had been called upon to pro mise to avenge Jos. Smith. Hiram Smith, David Patten and Farley P Pratt, all church leaders who met death al the hands of mobs. This wit ness declared that no Mormon could go through the endowment house with out taking the oath
 Chairman Burrows said today that he would insist on concluding the inves- tigation and making a report to the senate at this session.

DISAPPOINTED GALLERIES.
There Was Not the Expected Recur-
 renee of the Caucus Agitation.

Washington. Feb. S.-There was a general expectation that today would witness a revival of yesterdays excit- ing occurrences in the senate over Mr PattersOn's caucus resolution, but it was not realized and the large crowd attracted to the galleries was com pelled to leave in disappointment when at D. m. the senate went into eXecu- tive session, after a day devoted large ly 10 ordinary bills on the calendar.
 The indications of the early morn ing were in the line of a popular ex- pectation as several senators expressed a desire to speak orr the resolution There were other senators, however. who held the view that the caucus question had been sufficiently agitated and they spent much of the first hour of the days session in an effort to pre- vent further discussion. They were successful for the time at least and t was soon known that the resolution would not be called up today
 MT. Scott spoke on his bill giving telegraph operators of the civil war a questionable status and the bill was passed.
 MT. Tulman again today made refer ence to the charge that the railroads in eWst Virginia were discriminating against the private coal miners and he had read a letter from the governor Of that state charging that the Penn sylvania company controls all the trunk lines in West Virginia to the disadvantage of the state.

Protective Association

Another plan has been proposed, and which too, will be submitted to the as sociation. It is born of the certainty that there can be no further negotia- tions between the government and the water company concerning the pur- chase of the canals. This plan will con- template the assessment of the lands under the canal for raising a sum suf- ficient to purchase the interests of the minority stockholders, about $32,0OO Water has been purchased in recent years for from 15,0OO to 18,OOO acres under that canal An assessment on this acreage alone not greater than the price charged per acre for water would raise nearly as much money as would be required for the purchase of the minority interests in the canals and under the ten year plan the bur den would be a light one. This ar engagement would leave the government and the water company free to con clude their deal on the basis proposed by the latter.
 There are advantages in this ar engagement which cannot be overlook ed The great consideration is time. There is no doubt that the water users of the valley will have a distributing system in one way or another. The
 
 Arizona Water company's system will provide one either by building or by the process of condemnation. Either of those ways will take time and the water users want water now The crops for which immediate water is needed would be worth a half million dollars. The beet crop alone which would be planted under the Arizona canal in the event of the carrying out of this plan would several times over pay the amount of the interests of the minority stockholders in the northside canals
 Another advantage lies in the fact that the investment proposed in the purchase of these interests would be in something of permanent value while any temporary improvement of the dam or head of the Arizona canal made with the consent of the water com pany would after all belong to the company. No part of it could ever be returned to the investors.
 This movement for the purchase of the minority interests might be easily extended beyond those lands which would be benefited by such a perman- ent investment. There are signed up in the water users association, lands on the north side to the amount of 125,- 900 acres of which more than half IS under the Arizona canal. The assess ment distributed among all the lands so signed or even among those signed

HEPBURN RATE BILL
 HAD AN EASY ROAD
Only Seven Votes We're Cast Against the
 Measure
It Received the Solid Democratic Voe-The Passage of the Pension Appropriation Bill-The Senate Resumed Its Habitua Quiet.

Washington, Feb. S.-Just enough morning business was allowed in the house preceding the vote on the Hep burn railroad rate bill today to permit delayed members to reach their seats before the roll call ordered the night before began. Three hundred and forty-siX members voted for the bill Seven. all republicans. voted against it. Applause greeted the announce ment of the result by the speaker of the house which had given it's undi- vided attention to the question of gov eInment rate making for seven days.
 The pension appropriation bill. car rying $l39,OO0,OOO fog pensions and s1,- 245.O0O for pension administration was taken up, debated and passed without amendment.
 In presenting the bill Mir Gardiner of Michigan in charge of the measure detailed inter- esting information regarding pen sions. Forty years after the civil war he said, the pension appropriation is at 9 maximum. There is 1.000,OOO pensioners. all but 53.OOO of them from that war with an annual roll of S139.- OO0,000. At the present time the pen sion roll costs the government just one fourth of all other expenses.
 The feature of the bill, aside from the appropriation, is a provision mak- ing a statute of the famous order of the. president declaring age an evil dence of disability. A number of bills were passed at the close of the day. including one providing a penalty of S5,O00 and ten years. imprisonment for premature revelation of government in formation which might have Q bearing
