Water Rising in the Rivers of Sac
Tamento and Solano Counties
in California.

Sacramento, Cal, Jan. 22.-The news
from the island districts of Sacramento

discouraging since the first flood waves

risen slowly all day and is near the
tops of the levees Of the upper eastern
part of Sherman island. Ryer island IN
SOlano and Brannan island. which joins
Twitchell island (now fiooded) on the

SAYS SUFFRAGE
DOES MUCH HARM
Frederick Wood Delivers Ad-
dress in New York-MakeS
Strong Statements.

New York, Jan. 22.-"Woman suffrage
has done more harn than good in the four
states in which it has been tried. Idaho,
Colorado. Utah and wyoming declared
Frederick Wood. in an address before the
National League for the Civic Education
Of Women here tonight. Mr.. Wood read
letter from General W. ]. Palmer of
Colorado, in which the latter declared that
woman suffrage has been a failure in that
state
THE establishment Of a juvenile court in
Colorado is often pointed out as one of the
benefits OF giving women the ballot" said
Mr.. Wood but in the twenty-one states
which have Juvenile courts. nineteen
are states in which women do not
vote, and the first state in which such
courts we're started was Massachusetts,
where the women declined TO take the bal
lot when It was offered to them.
Based upon my personal observation OF
the workings of equal suffrage in the -four
states where ii exists. its results indicate
the ability of the corrupt political machine
TO influence the female vote rather than
any ability on the part of women to purify
politics.

After Debate.

Washington. Jan. 22.-Exactly as re-
ported by the committee, the naval pro-
gram for the fiscal year 1910 was today
adopted by the house and the naval APP
pTopr alton bill was passed. The OPP
ponents of the navy increase feature of
the bill found themselves in a hopeless
minority. The only vital alteration
made in the measure was the striking
out of provisions restoring marines to
naval vessels. The aggregate amount
appropriated by the bill is S135, 600, 600.
The increase in the naval estimates
gave rise to extended debate. in which
members were afforded an opportunity
to air their views on the japanese -Ques-
ton. The peace advocates were much
in evidence in oppositi6sl to the increase,
while the adherents d the bill were
alive at all times to every move made
to cut down the number of vessels au-
thorized.

PUTS THE BLAME
ON ". R. HEARST
Governor Haskell of Oklahoma
issues Statement Regard
ing Town Lot Controversy.

MushOgee, Okla. Jan. Ex-Governor
Charles \. Haskell issued a statement
today explaining his connection with
the Indian Territory town-lot coRtro-
versy. which is to be made the subject
Of federal grand jury investigation
next week, and which is expected to re-
suit in many indictments being found.
The governor attributes the contro-
versy to the reports made by the agents
of William r. Hearst, the New York
editor, who, he says, has been trying to
have him indicted. The governor quotes
an affidavit made by L. s. Russell. ed
itor of the Shawnee Herald at Shawnee,
Okla. to the effect that Attorney NJ. 7.
Mott. who brought the 10000 civil suits
to test the titles to Indian lands, has
said:
4 cannot find evidence to connect
Haskell with any criminal conduct in
relation to--the Muskogee lot matters,
but may be able to force an Indictment
which will answer our purpose"
This statement attributed TO Mr.. Mott
IS alleged by the governor in his state
mcnt to have been made by Scott Mac
Reynolds. MIR. MacReynOlds was ar
rested at Guthrie recently on charges
of Governor Haskell that MacReynolds,
who has been collecting testimony for
Mr.. Hearst's attorneys to be used in
