OUR washington LETTER
House Has Scheme Whereby LssiSla-
ton Can Be Blocked.
MEASURE LONG As MORAL LAW
Another Message Due from the Presi-
dent-No Panama Canal
News
From Our Regular Correspondent.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Jan. -
II looks as though the house has
fixed up a scheme whereby it will be
able 10 block any legislation to
which it has an objection, especial.
ly anything in which the senate or
the President are particularly inter.
ested. 1t has taken up the consid-
Grafton of a Revised Penal Code
and has made Il the next order OF
business after the appropriation bill.
This means that this legislation will
have a right of way over any legis-
lation except the appropriation bills
at any time the appropriation bills
are not under discussion. The meas
ure naturally is about as long as the
moral law, and 1t will have to be
read in estenso. Members who wish
can discuss it any length they please
and it will be only by special provi-
dence that anything the house wishes
to oppose gets by this piece of OBJ
structive legislation.
The chances are one of the first
things it will be used to kill is Sen
ator La Follette's bill limiting the
hours of labor for railroad en-
ployes. A vote was fixed for this
bull this week, but the house will
have a chance at it when it comes
up for reconsideration, and it may
be considered almost as good as
dead. The numerous other urgent
matters, including the Brownsville
case, the Smoot case, and the states
rights bill, will all have to wait the
pleasure of the house before they
get a hearing.
They are telling a story, however,
tending to indicate that the house
thinks very we'll of the prospect for
legislation. The story is probably
apocryphal, but it is good enough
to bear repeating. They say the
steering committee was holding an
informal meeting just before the re.
cess and discussing the same matter
of possible legislation. The most
of the members were inclined to
take a pessimistic view of the sltua-
ton and protested to think there
would not be much done save rou-
tine work and the passage of the
regular appropriation bills. Then
arose one member and spoke as fol.
lows:
Gentlemen, l am not given tc
these gloomy forebodings. Con
gress has done we'll this session. We
have already done more than we
had any reason to hope. We have
already saved the dictionary of The
United States, and before we geI
through Id if l don't think We
will ave the constitution also"

The President is on the eve of
sending another message to con.
gress and this, too, is going to be
illustrated. 1t is a report on the
break in the banks of the Colorado
river which is fast becoming a ques.
ton of national moment. The mes
sage is very likely to handle f. II.
Hartman and the Southern Pacific
railroad either without gloves or else
with gloves of the 2-ounce variety.
1t will be recalled that the break in
the Colorado river was caused orr
ginally by a food carrying out the
headgates of an irrigation canal tina
had been dug by the California De.
velopment Company. This turned
the whole course of the Colorado
river westward and northward into
the depths of a remarkable geolog-
zeal depression known as the Solton
sink. This is deeper than the Dead
Sea and below the Pacific level, and
contains an area Of over 2 1000 square
miles, much Of it capable Of becom
ing rich farming land az soon as
irrigation water is put on il. The
river is pouring in to the bottom Of
this depression and promises if not
stopped to form an inland sea as
big as Lake Michigan. The river IS
running through soft alluvial ground
and has already cut itself a canyon
30 feet deep and in places 1900
across, and is eating its way back
ward at the rate Of half a mile a
day.
The point where Mr.. Hartman
and his duplicity comes in is that
the California Development Com.
panY is owned by The Southern Pa
cifc railroad, whose tracks are
mcnaced by the rising food. Some
weeks ago President Roosevelt urged
Mr.. Hartman 70 have the Southern
Pacific close up this dangerous break
in the river banks. Mr.. Hartman
at that time declared that the South
ern Pacific railroad had no interest
in the California Development Com
pany and suggested that the federal
government should bear a part, H.
not the whole, expense OF turning
the Colorado back into It's old chan
mel. Itnow appears, however, that
the Southern Pacific owns the Cali.

Little has been heard for a week
or so Of the Panama Canal, but the
matter promises to crop up IN con-
gress on the report that is now in
circulation to the effect that the
whole scheme for a lock canal IS
jeopardized by the fact that no
foundations have been discovered
for the Gatun dam. This dam, il
erected, would be the largest in
every respect in the whole world,
and would make the Assuan dam in
Egypt look like In ordinary railroad
embankment beside it. 1t is de-
signed to form a lake to divert the
entire flow of the Chagras river, and
if 1t cannot be built will necessarily
change the whole plan of the canal
construction. Behring'S have been
made on the site of the dam, but il
is claimed that no satisfactory foun-
dation has been discovered.
