ON BREAK IN RIVER
PRESIDENT SENDS MESSAGE TO
 CONGRESS ON SUBJECT.
He Believes S2,OOO. .OOO Would Restore Colorado River, Which Broke Its Channel Four Mills AcroMs
 Mexican Line,

Washington. Jan. 12.-The President today sent to Congress a message urg- ing some action by Congress toward remedying the situation caused by the break in the Colorado river four miles below the international boundary line in Mexico and which threatens the property interests in the Imperia vol ley of California.
 The Presidents message contains a long review of the situation and says that prompt action must be taken, otherwise conditions will become so extreme as to be impracticable of rem edy.
 Probably with an expenditure of $2.- 100000, he says, the river can be re- stored to it's former channel and held there indefinitely.
 The question of what sum. If any, should be paid to the Southern Pacific Railroad Company for work done since ture consideration.
 The concluding paragraphs of the message are as follows:
 The Imperial valley will never have safe and adequate supply of water until the main canal extends from the La Guna dam. At each end this dam is connected with. rock bluffs and pro- vides a permanent heading founded on rock for the diversion of the water Any works built below this point would not be safe from destruction by floods and cannot be depended upon for a permanent and reliable supply of wat r to the valley.
 '1f Congress does not give authority and make adequate provision to take up this work in the way suggested it must be inferred that 1t acquiesces in the abandonment of the work at La Guna and of all future attempts to utilize the valuable public domain in this part of the country"
 After the message had been read 1t was referred to the Committe on For eign Relations. on motion or Senator Perkins of California.

 GOvernorship.

Nashville, Tenn. Jan. 12.-The ques- tion as to who has the legal right to exercise the functions of governor of Tennessee is tonight being discussed with deep interest in legislative cir cles here.
 Friends of E. G. Tollett of Cuniber- land County, speaker of the State Sen ate. are strongly of the opinion that Tollett should now be the occupant of the executive office. while supporters of John I. Cox. the incumbent, point to an opinion rendered by Attorney Gen eral Charles T. Gates in 1905, to the effect that upon the resignation of Governor James B. Frazer to enter the United States Senate Mir. Cox. then speaker of the State Senate, became, not only actin~ governor, but executive in fact, as much so as if elected by vote of the people.
 Tolletts adherents, In spite of thls. insist that Cox only occupied the gcy- ernor's chair by virtue of being speak CT of the Senate and that when hts term expires as speaker, his right to administer the affairs of tho State ceased.
 Senator Tollett declines to be Inter viewed as to whether he intends talk ing any steps toward tho opinion that as speaker of the State Senate he would have that legal right.
