At a meeting of the State
Land Board at Boise held Tues
day afternoon, the petition of
the King Hill Land and Irriga-
ton company, the big concern
that recently revived the old
6les..ls Ferry project was taken
up and disposed of. When the
company made arrangements
with the land board last winter
for the revival of that project,
it was planning to put in an ir-
rigation works of sufficient size
to water an area of at least TO-
900 acres. Last week it was
discovered, upon completing a
re-survey of the tract proposed
to be irrigated, that not to ex-
ceed $4,000 acres were avail
able. The land board had pre-
viously fixed the price of water
rights under this system at $50
per acre, although the promot-
ers contended vigorously for a
maximum price of $65, insist
.ipgsthat such was the cost of
The Proposed works, that the
company could scarcely afford
to go ahead at a lower figure. Z
Therefore, when it was made
to appear yesterday that the
number of water rights that the
company would have to sell af-
ter the irrigation works are
completed will be considerably
less than was anticipated, the
contention for the $65 per acre
water right was renewed with
more force than ever. The pc
tition for the company was pre-

this morning and was looking for

ing of his wife and daughter, who
were expected to arrive with Lieut..
Evans this afternoon.
LieMt. Evans departure for Los Angeles
to accompany his mother here was no
doubt to prepare her for the great change
in her husband. That she will be greatly
shocked when she sees him was admit
ted. But a mere shadow of his former
self, his pale drawn face furrowed with
many deep lines, his body emaciated, his
knees and ankles SO enlarged and de-
formed as to be very noticeable through
his clothing, there is not much physical
to the man who stood on the
bridge Of the Connecticut leading his
great fleet out Of Hampton Roads less
than four months ago. He weighed then

COLONIAL RIGHTS
Are Looked After In New British
American Arbitration Treaty.

London, April 9.-The arbitration
treaty between America and Great
Britain, the text of which has been
cabled over here from America has
been we'll received. Particularly those
interested in colonial affairs welcome
the clause under which Great Britain
reserves the right before concluding
an agreement on any matter effecting
a self governing dominion. to obtain
the concurrence therein of this tardy
acknowledgement of the importance of
the colonies and a wise departure from
the old method of negotiating with re-
spect to colonial affairs without con-
sulting the interests of the colonies
course which heretofore has led to dis
.sAtisfsctjon on the, part of the colonies.
There IL also favorable comment on
the reservation that agreements made
under this treaty shall not be binding
until they have been confirmed by the
two governments concerned by an ex-
change Of notes: this clause is consid-
cred necessary in view of the obliga-
ton to submit American agreements
to the Senate for ratification.

HIGH ON THE BEACH,
Schooner George A. Hudson Ashore
and Leaking Badly.

New York, April 9.-Leaking badly
and with seven feet of water in her
hold, the five-masted schooner George
A. Hudson lies tonight high on the
beach on the Long Island coast two
miles west of Southampton, with slight
chance of ever, being pulled off. The
Hudson. which was bound in ballast
from Boston for Baltimore, went
ashore early today. .JT
Captain Gardner and his crew of Is
men are aboard the schooner, but al
though the surf is pounding heavily
aaginst her sides no apprehension is
felt for their safety. A line from the
shore has been made fast to the YES
sci. and the wrecking tugs are lying
nearby. Their efforts to drag the Hud-
son off today were futile. At low wa
ter today it was possible to walk with
in short distance of the stranded
schooner.
The Hudson formerly was the Fannie
Palmer. She is of $3.50 gross tons and
266 feet long. She was built at Waldo

AN EXTRA SESSION
Of Legislature May Be Called 1t Race
Track Bills Fail to Pass.

Albany, N. Y, April 9.-Governor
Hughes has decided to cal! a special cleo
ton for the election of a successor to the
late Senator Franchot, Republican, who
represented the counties of Niagara and
Orleans The call will probably be for
May u.
There was also an authoritative intima-
ton from the executive chamber that "if
necessary, and it will probably be-" an
extra session of the Legislature will be
called by the governor to begin May IL.
1t is known that in calling a special cleo
ton for May II the governor has in mind
the intention to call an extra session
for May II should the Legislature fail
to act upon his recommendations as en-
bodied in the special message sent to the
Legislature today. The new senator
would thus occupy a seat from the be-
ginning of the extra session.
1t was suggested to the governor that
certain opponents of the race track legis-
lation had stated that in the event of an
extra session being called. a recess would
be taken until the end of the year. The
governor smiled but refused to discuss
the matter.

Early Morning Visitors at
Lynn Surprised at Work.
Seize Women and Threaten 10
XIII Them II Alarm Is Sounded.
Jump Through Window Sash to Es'
oape.-.Suspect Caught.

Lynn, Mass, April 9.-An early morn
ing burglary in which revolvcrs were
used freely and which resulted later in
the arrest of one of the alleged
burglars, was committed here Thurs
day Shortly before A. M, Mrs. Ju-
liza Fenton, the widow of the late M.
A. Fenton and her maid. Mabel Ma
han, were awakened in the Fenton
residence on Boston street by two men
grabbing them and threatening to kill
them if they made any noise. Despite
this threat one of the women screamed.
her cries awakening Fenton Hopkins,
relative of Mrs. Fenton, who lodged
in another part of the house.
Hopkins quickly obtained his revolt
yer and fired shot out of the win
dow. The burglars then fled down
stairs from Mrs. Fentons chamber
into the dining room. Hopkins pur
sued them and locating them in the
dining room, fired several shots at
them, none Of which is known to have
taken effect The burglars made
dash for window and plunged
through the sash and escaped. They
carried with them a bag containing
about $50 worth of silver that had
been gathered from 1.-The sideboard.
Other bags full of plumber were found
in different parts of the house..
An hour later a. man who was identi-
fed as Charles E.. Mcintyre of this
city, was arrested in Federal square.
He was hatless and eoatless and was
bleeding prcfusely from wounds in his
face and wrists. the cuts apparently
having been made with broken glass.
A search Of the Fenton premises re-
suited in the finding of a coat and hat
alleged by the police to belong to Nc
Intyre on the piazza of the house. In
one of the pockets of the coat was a
5O-foot coil of rope and it is the belief
of the police that the burglars intend
ed to bind the occupants Of the house.
Mcintyre was taken to a hospital
where his wounds were dressed, after
which he was locked up at the police
station ON a charge of burglary. He
will probably appear in court Friday.

The Senate received the message
with every evidence of surprise. Sena-

occasion to make bitter attacks upon
Governor Hughes. Senator McCarren
suggested that a respectful message
be sent to The Governor advising him
to mind his own business"
Senator Raines, the majority leader,
promptly resented this manner of re-
ceiving the message and upon his mo-
ton the various recommendations were
referred to committees.
In the Assembly the message caused
no less of a sensation. Minority Leader
Palmer characterized the message as
"scolding.'

MIsDlREcTED REFORMS.
August Belmont So charaterizes Gov.

New York, April 9.-August Belmont,
chairman of the Jockey Club, said today
concerning the failure to pass the anti
gambling bills at Albany:
'"The community is to be congratulated
on the failure of the governors so-called
anti-racc track legislation. If it is final
it is still more to be congratulated. The
measures are misdirected reforms. Rae
ing will now be assured. Such evils as
surround betting at the courses, and are
durable, have brighter prospects for cor
rection and regulation. This is. and has
been. the aim Of the Jockey Club. It has
always had the earnest cooperation of
the Racing Association and has the as
surance of the same in the future.
