BY Associated Press.
BERLIN, Jan. 26.-Curious interest
attaches to the anuouncemen that En-
peror William has commissioned Herr
Won Uslar, the chief government otti-
cial OF Apenradt, province Of Schles-
wig-tfolstein, to proceed to German
Southwest Africa and find subter-
rauean springs by means Of divining

as a water finder i'm Schleswig- Holstein
but scientists refuse to admit his claims
that he has discovered water by means
of n dlvining rod.
The emperor heard OF Won Uslar and
ordered the minister OF public works
to inquire into the matter. The min
istry collected numerous testimonials
from provincial authorities seemingly
proving the extraordinary success Of
Won Uslar In finding water. Emperor
william thereupon decided 90 utilize
Won Uslar's powers for the purpose of
alternating the chronic water famine in
German Southwest Africa, where the
German troops are seriously handicap

FILleUsTERINe IN HOUSE
Attempt to Defeat Waiver Of Eight
Hour Law on lsthmus
BY Associated Press.

BY Assc cated Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.--The first
attempt at flibustering during this
session occurred in the house today in
a Democratic endeavor to defeat the
provision of the urgent deficiency bill
waving the eight-hour law for for
eign laborers on the Panama canal.
The amendment was placed in the bill
in committee of the whole after the
house had divided many times on every
pretext which Mr.. Williams, the mi
nority leader, could make the cause for
a vote When the bill to which the
amendment was proposed, was finally
finished late in the day a demand for
a separate vote and roll call on that
amendment was made and ordered, at
which time the house adjourned.
The vote will occur tomorrow. The
amendment was ruled out Of the bill
on point of order on Tuesday and it's
insertion today was effected under the
provisions of a special rule brought in
from the rules committee for the pur-
pose.
The only other controversy of the
day resulted from an attempt to in
crease by $115. 900 the amount for meat
inspection by the department of agri-
culture. This increase was refused
after an animated debate.
n SccLlltlS COnlION6ISy uSlNeGn lne
secretary of agriculture and congress
on the question of meat inspection de-
veloped an hour of spirited debate and
resulted in the defeat of several at
tempts to increase the deficiency APP
preparation Of $4,000 carried by the bill
for that purpose.
1t was first sought to add s115,000 to
the fund and on falling, $4,000 more
was suggested, but that also failed.
Mr.. Tawney characterized the bill as
another illustration of the attempt to
coerce congress" into giving appropri-
ations beyond that which was pro-
vided In the regular appropria ton
bills.
The bill was finished under the five
minute rule at 500 o'clock. For the
Democrats Mr.. Clark of Missouri de-
manded a roll call on the eight-hour
waiver for the canal, and pending
this, Mr.. Littauer moved an adjourn
ment. This motion was contested and
had to be put twice with division or
the house before it was declared car
ried ten minutes later The vote on the
eight-hour Amendment will be taken
up the first thing tomorrow, after
which the bill will be put on its pas
sage.
