New York, April 2O.-Angered by the
martial rule of General Funston, in San
Francisco, and the reported mal-hand-
hing of its employees and messengers by
the regular troops, the estern Union
Telegraph company late Yesterday aft
ternoon asked President Roosevelt to
have orders sent to Funston defining his
duties with respect to the conduct of
the telegraph business. The presi-
answer was prompt. 1t ran: ~
Funston making all arrange
ments.' 80 .
AS interpreted by Vice, President
Barclay of the Western Union it means
that the company would no longer be
molested in transmitting to and from
the stricken city, messages of its inhab-
itants and of those anxious as to their
safety. -.... -
An hour later word came from the
Western Union s representatives in
San Francisco that the military tele-
graph to the PRESIDED had been connect
ed. with the Western Union s wires, and
that there would be no more trouble
about getting messages thru to Funston
and his staff.
Messages Accepted.
At both the offices of the Western
Union and Postal Telegraph, compa-
MES messages were accepted today
"'subiect to indefinite delay in de-
livery" The files for San Francisco
and Oakland were described as "some-
thing unheard off, but kilograms were
kept going westward to pile up at the
Pacific end and there await delivery.
The offices Of the Western Union and
Postal Telegraph were crowded all day
by anxious relatives and friends of San
Francisco people. Men were not
stronger than women in keeping back
the tears. -

Whether or not there is to be the

fact that many laws have been started
rejoicing on their initial courses at

aside $2,250,000 for the Shoshone
River, Wyoming, project and $3.50, 900
for the Pathfinder project on North
Platte River. to be partially expended
for the benefit of Nebraska Thus
about is per cent. of the entire re.
clamation fund will be laid out in Wy.
oming, although she has contributed
only about per cent. of the fund.
Scenes along the Platte and the Sho'
shone canyon are among the widest
and most picturesque in America.
Second to Wyoming comes the terri.
tory of Arizona, with the great Salt
River project at an estimated cost of
about four million dollars, requiring
upwards of per cent of the entire
reclamation fund, although Arizona
has contributed less than per cent.
It 10 stated by the engineers that the
opportunities for water storage in Ari-
zona are. next to Wyoming. the best
in the arid West, while the soil of that
territory Is not only extremely fertile
and lying at a moderate altitude, but
the climate is semi-tropical and under
careful cultivation. ten or even dve

California to-day, with a similar soil
and climate, has thousands Of pros
porous little five and ten acre farms.
The third State in order Of irrigation

lying far north. has a splendid water
supply and likewise rich land. Actual

Government on the Yellowstone,

plications Of vested water rights ex-

CHARGE MURDER IN DENVER
Sensational Developments Looked for
In the Coal Land Fraud
Investigations.

Denver. Colo, Nov. 50.-The News to-
day says:
Edward z. Clark, interstate commerce
commissioner, Is on his way TO Denver,
where, next Monday, he will begin an in
Vestigation into the charges made against
the Union Pacific Coal company that this
corporation has stolen thousands of acres
of coal lands, to which it holds no right
full title.
A. j. Smith of the Smith-Bradbury Min
ing company, who stands sponsor for
some OF the charges against the corpora
ton. intimates that he will charge the
, attempted murder OF a government agent
by poison during the hearing.
Smith says that IL would appear that
an attempt was made 10 remove Michael
A. Myendorff, the land office detective
who testified in Salt Lake City on We'd
nesday and who mentioned two Wyoming
senators unfavorably during his testi-
mony.
According to Smith. Myendorff, after
completing his investigation in Denver,
stopped i'm a Seventeenth street saloon on
his way to the Union station. Smith says
something was put into the liquor; that
that IL was necessary to take him to a
hospital.
1t is elso alleged that two attempts
were made to poison A. f. Abbott, gen.
erai manager of the Peerless Copper Elk
traction company, who, with Smith and
w. II. Canniff has been largely instru-
mental in bringing about an investiga-
tion.

WILL DEDICATE ORGAN
Fine Instrument Being Placed In
Methodist Church to Be
Opened Friday.

The organ now being built in the First
Methodist Episcopal church will be for
mally dedicated next Friday evening.
Dec. T. Professor Edward Isreiser of
Kansas City, Mo-, will open the organ.
Mr.. Kreiser is the organist of the Jewish
temple of Kansas City, and is pupil
of the celebrated Alexandra Guilmant of
Paris He also studied under the late
eminent English organist, Frederick
Archer.
The organ is one of rare beauty and
mower 1t is Is feet wide, 10 feet deep and
and 81 stops. 1t has numerous combina-
lions such as pneumatic couplers, COM
bination pistons and pedal movements
and mechanical accessories which add
greatly to the efficiency of the instru-
ment. The console is detached and re-
moved from the organ about eight feet
in front and to the right. The organist
will face the congregation and will be
between the pulpit and the choir loft.
The advantage of this will be readily seen
by any one interested in the development
of church music.
The action of the organ is what is
known as tubular pneumatic" and is
practically instantaneous. The case of
the organ is built out of quarter sawed
oak and harmonizes with the interior fin
ish of the church. The display pipes are
artistically grouped and richly decorat-
ed to agree with the tinting and furnish
in1s of the church. The bellows Is run
bv an electric motor and these, with the
machinery for the organ, are located in
the basement OF the church. The men IN
stalling the organ have been at work for
five weeks and promise to have the organ
ready in fine shape for the opening con-
cert.
Mr. Kreiser will be assisted by Miss
Agatha BerkhOel and Mrs. Alfred S.
Peters.
The new organ after formal dedication
will be in charge of Walter j. Poulton of
this city. The music committee of the
church has engaged him as the regular
church organist
