British Ship volturno, With 200 Pas
sengers, Barely Escapes Disaster
In Atlantic.

NEW YORK, May 19-The British
steamship Volturno, which arrived
here yesterday, had remarkable ex-
perience with icebergs in Atlantic
At a. m. on Sunday, May 9, Capt
James Harrison found that his vessel
which carried 200 passengers and a
large consignment of freight from Eng
land, was completely surrounded by
icebergs and ice foes. The engines
were slowed down, and at daylight the
Volturno was so completely hemmed
in that the engines were stopped and
all of Sunday the vessel drifted as a
prisoner with the ice.
AT times there was great danger of
the giant icebergs crushing the ship
between them, but Capt Harrison
found himself unable to do anything
because the ice completely surrounded
him. A wind sprang UP early Mon
day morning, making channel
through the ice, and the Volturno
quickly sped out of this and liberated
itself

Meeting Today at Dayton Court Eouse
by Those Interested in Question

walton of the waters of the Touchet
river so that owners OF land on one
hand and manufacturers may have
tie widest POSSIBLE use of the stream
Is the most important question now
before property owners of the Touchet
valley 4 meeting will be held at the
court house here Tuesday afternoon to
affect an agreement between users of
water for peWer and irrigation pur-
poses. The Importance of the ques-
on of conservation is attracting much
attention among horticulturists, gar
denerS and manufacturers of the val
ley and it is expected several hun
bred people will attend the nesting.
J. l. Dumas, president of the State
horticultural society and owner OF
Pomona ranch. the largest orchard in
tie valley, said yesterday:
The meeting is of great importance
to this community. 1t is proposed to
bring about an agreement between the
miIlers and others using the waters of
the Touchet for power and land own
ers whereby the greatest possible good
will be derived. Fixing a date each
spring for the closing down of mills
SO that practically all of the water in
the Touchet may be used for irrigation
purposes during two or three months
preceding fall rains will be one of the
questions discussed at the meeting.
The land owners expect to reciprocate
by agreeing to stop using water when
the mills commence operations again
early in the fall
That the days of grain growing in
the Touchet valley are numbered is
now an evident fact. An era of inten-
,sfve farming is at hand. and with the
new order comes a corresponding in
crease of irrigation problems which
must be settled sooner or later. The
first stems looking to conservation of
the Touchet are to be taken here Tues
day. Neither mill men nor land own
ers are exrected to make protest to
TIE nroDosed agreement, beneficial as
ii will be TO both sides.

Senator Aldrich suggested that the
resolution be referred to the senate
finance committee, stating that 1t is
proper that this committee should deal
with it as such investigation would in
voIye considerable time and expense.
Gore declared that the republican
senators who charged the retailers with
the responsibility for high prices had
discovered they had stepped on a live
wire and are now trying to retrace.
He said that he finally suggested the
appoin .ment of a select committee to
make inquiry in view of the fact that
the finance committee is so busily en-
gagged in calculating the cost of labor
here and abroad.
Gore insisted that a select committee
could report within three weeks on
whether or not examples recently shown

between manufacturers and consumer,
really were so- raised. Carter denied
this, saying that such investigation
would require two years. He made a
