LADIES PROTEST.

A delegation of 81 of the most high
ly respected ladies of this city waited
upon the city council last Thursday
evening to present resolutions protest
ing against the reoccurrence of such a
scene as that of last week when GER
tain notorious characters of Moscow
were allowed to parade our streets and
create unseemly disturbances.
The visit of the delegation to the
council came as result of largely
attended mass meeting Of the wives
and mothers of Pullman, held Monday,
at which the matter was discussed. and
arrangements made for the preservation
Of the resolution to the council by a
committee of fifty. The resolution,
after reciting the facts, as menionted
in the Herald of last week, added that
1--WE, the women of Pullman, protest
against the same and express our
selves as thoroughly ashamed of such
occurrences and request the council TO
Pullman to enforce ordinance No. Is
that there be no repetition of such dis
graceful occurrences which defle the
manhood and womanhood of our city. "
Mrs, Healey, who spoke for the
ladies, stated thatiss was not the de-
sire to censure because Of anything
that was past, but to bring the matter
to the mind of the council that there
be no repetitions.
Mayor Lawrence protested his ignor-
ance of the case cited, as did also
members of the council, the note of
discord was apparent when the mayor
asked that the ladies produce evidence
of the immortality of the females from
Moscow. as though the conduct of the
latter on our streets had not been
sufficient to prove them guilty.
Rev. Mr.. Healey told the council
how he and others had protested to
the marshal at the time, and of the
things the marshal had said in refus-
ing to protect the public from these
people, and a messenger was sent to
bring the marshal before the council,
but, as expected. he returned empty
handed, and with the statement that
the marshal was off duty.
Mayor Lawrence continued to protest
against the visit of the committee of
fifty, and his sarcasm did not mollifv
the injured feelings of the women of
Pullman. He charged that the COM
lngss.of the ladies before the council was
for political effect, to which charge
the ladies entered vehement denial.
1t is not a pleasant thing for refined
and intelligent women to be forced by
to do what this COM
mittee of fifty had to do, and to face
treatment as unchivalric as that ac-
corded Thursday night, but the treat
ment only made the more manifest the
need of action by our women. and
their course is approved and an
plauded.

Protests Filed Against Stable.

AS attorney for Leo .Geschickter. who lives
at 1899 18th street northwest, w. B. Mat
thews. jr., appeared before the Commission
ers this morning at pubic hearing and
protested against the proposed erection of
a stable at 1924 18th street and asked that
the commissioners refuse to issue the per-
nit for the stable. F. G. Krieg, the appii-
cant for the permit. was also at the hear
ing. and he explained to the Commissioners
that he proposes to use the building as a
carriage repository, and claimed that the
building would not be used as stable and
that none of the Objectionable features of a
stable would be present.
Several other persons, residents and prop
erty owners In the section In question. were
present and addressed the Commissioners
for and against the issuance OF the permit
Those who opposed the permit declared that
the building was to be used as a stable and
that its erection in that vicinity would de-
preciate the value of property. and those
who favored granting permit stated that
1t was not to be stable and would not be
chico tionabie.

TO REPAIR THE BREAK
PRESIDENTIAL MESSAGE AS TO
COLORADO RIVER.

The President today sent to Congress
a message urging 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 Imperial valley of Cali
fornia. 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 remedy. Probably with
an expenditure of s2O00.CO0. he says. the
river can be restored to its 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 the break of November 4
is one for future consideration.
The President says that at present there
appears to be only one agent equal to the
task of controlling the river, namely the
Southern Pac:ac Company.
The President says:
1.-THE reclamation service should be au-
thorized to take steps at once for the con-
structioa of an irrigation project, under
the terms of the reclamation act, for the
lands In the Imperial valley and in Lower
Colorado River valley.
To accomplish this the United States
should acquire the rights of the California
Development Company and its subsidiary
corporations in the United States and
Mexico. upon such reasonable terms as
shall protect the interests Of the govern
ment and of the water users. The United
States should obtain by convention with
Mexico the right to carry water through
that country upon reasonable conditions.
Referring to the California Develop
ment Company, the President says it be-
gan its work by making representations to
possible settlers of the great benefits to be
derived by taking up this land. The
claims were not only extravagant, he says,
but In many cases 1t appears that willful
Misrepresentation was made. THE money
thus obtained from settlers was not used
In permanent development says the
President, but apparently disappeared
either in profits to the principal promoters
or in the numerous subsidiary companies
which to certain extent feed upon the
parent company, or served to obscure its
operations-Such as construction COM
pany, company to promote settlement.
and a company to handle securities Of the
various other corporations.
Senator Flint talked with the President
and Secretary of State today regarding the
matter. and said that he would shortly in
troduce bill to carry the Presidents rec
concentrations into effect.
