Proposed New Speedway.

Respecting the permanent location of
the Speedway and show ring, President
De Graw begged to be excused from men,
tionfng any preference. He did say, how
ever, that he felt sure Col. Cosby would
cooperate with all concerned in providing
suitable space at the earliest practica BILE
moment, and that meantime the drivers
and riders must be thankful for the privi-
leges they have received.
Another suggestion which was empha-
sized by Mr.. De Graw as most important
was that the hOrSemen and horsewomen
of the city bend their efforts in one direc-
ton and first see that the organization of
drivers and riders be strengthened by
memberships. so that it may have few
dollars in the treasury during the period
when shows are not booked, in order that
the grounds assigned for it's use may be
kept up. Otherwise they will be rem
dered by storms unfit for use. This
work, however, will probably not be nee
essary after permanent speedway and
show ground is arranged. as the park
force would have it in charge
There was also suggested the feasibility
of merging the polo men and drivers and
riders. and thus secure for all horse ex-
hibitions. il 1t is believed the best loca-
ton. the space now assigned exclusively
to polo playing. The polo players use it
only now and then, whereas riders and
drivers would avail of it daily, owing to
its proximity to the main carriage ways
Or certain days might be assigned for
polo. and others for riding and driving
But" Mr.. De Graw said. these are
matters for the majority to determine.
and I am sure We may depend upon the
federal government to cooperate with
the needs Of the people in every way pos
sible.'
1t Is the intention of the Road Drivers
and Riders Association to call upon all
exhibitors and patrons of the carnival to
give the subject thought sufficient to en-
able each and every one to express HIM
self at a mass meeting which will be
called for the purpose soon.

PAYING WATER CLAIMS
SECRETARY BALLINGER'S PLAN
FOR SETTLEMENT.
Conditions Under Which Certificates
Will Be Honored-About
1881 900 Outstanding.

A tentative plan for the settlement of
claims outstanding against the reclama-
ton fund for work done under the CO.
operative agreements was approved to-
day by Secretary Ballinger of the In
terror Department. Such certificates of
claims as do not show on their face that
they nave been assigned may he accepted
as evidence that the holder performed
the service or paid some one else TO per-
form it for him. Payments are to be
made on the project by check drawn by
the local fiscal agent. 1t is estimated
that about S2sl.O of the certificates
are outstanding.
The method to be followed i'll making
these settlements contemplates the sur
render of certificates by the water users
associations and all parties who have
certificates or claims on account of work
done or materials furnished or the fling
OF claims for the work done where GER
tihcates have not been issued.
Upon the receipt of such certificates
vouchers will be prepared on the usual
forms in the name of the persons to re-
ceive payment for the amount found to
be due. evidenced by attached co-opera-
ton certificates of various denominations.
In case the liability is not represented
by the certificates surrendered the de-
tail of work done or material furnished is
to be shown in unit rates or lieu thereof
with proper deductions for settlements
previously made. These vouchers are to
be certified to by the claimants, by the
project engineer and approved in the
usual manner and submitted to the spe-
cial fiscal agents for payment.
Sent to Project Engineer.
All certificates heretofore surrendered
and filed in the Interior Department. but
| not wholly applied. will be forwarded to
| the project engineer and the credit yet
| remaining in favor of the persons sur
| rendering them included in the vouchers
presented
Water users who SO desire may avail
themselves of the opportunity afforded by
this plan for making settlement of con-
struction. operation and maintenance
charges due the government. This may
be done on their request by the payment
of the amount due by two checks-one
| representing an amount equal to the
charges for construction, operation and
maintenance; the other covering the bal
ance of the claims and the Endorsement
of the water user of the one check, which
latter he will turn over to the fiscal agent
or forward direct to the receiver of the
local land office in settlement of his
charges
The payment for work evidenced by the
certificates in cash is in pursuance of the
decisions of the Attorney General and the
controller of the Treasury that their ap-
plication otherwise is not in accord with
the letter or spirit of the reclamation act
Supervising and project engineers are to
be fully advised as to the detail of the
plan for settlement within a short time.

President De Graw Gratified.

Il arm more than gratified with the
hearty Endorsement of the horse carnival"
said p. V. DE Graw today when asked to
outline the intentions of the Road Drivers
and Riders Association of which he is
president. My hope and desire is that
saturdays proof that there exists in our
city necessity for space where blooded
horses may be driven at speed and shown
10 advantage for the benefit of all con-
cerned may be sufficient to arouse general
interest among horse owners and low
efS, 10 enable the association TO har-
NOME Its efforts in the right direction,
and thus secure what concessions may be
most practicable for future exhibition
we certainly should have one or two
grand turnouts each year. Ny personal
Idea would be for a great horse show,
say In May or June of each year with
speed events as incident thereto, and
grand speeding matinee in September
or October, with horse show as second
airy attraction, though in a., probability
the horse show will in both instances have
the greatest number of patrons. This is
quite natural. and what could be more
beautiful to lover of a good horse than
the picture presented to the public in the
show ring Saturday by the classes in
which so many of our horsewomen par
ticipated? But lovers of speed must be
considered and provision made for such
driving at all times. in order that horses
may be kept in condition to do them
selves justice when called upon i'm con-
test, which idea, by the way applies as
well to harness horses as it does to those
in the speeding class. Road and park
horses, for instance. need ring service to
prepare them for the final test, otherwise
the results are the same as you will find
In green hunters-they are willing, but
until thoroughly schooled do not compre-
bend what Is required of them.'

1t was noticeable Saturday by many
thousands of persons that the bend in
the Speedway made ii impossible for the
spectators to see the racing from start
to finish. There is a stretch of land. 10
feet wide and about three-quarters of a
mile long, lying between the bride path,
running parallel to the boule>ard of Po-
tomac Park, and the lower end of the
Speedway. 1t runs from the bandstand in
Potomac Park to the western end of the
reservation. Efforts may be made to
have this stretch turned into a speeding
course.

ALDRICH
ON TARIFF

Washington, April 19.-In opening
the debate on the tariff bill in the
senate, Senator Aldrich, chairman of
the finance committed, assured the
senate in positive terms that the tar
iff bill as reported would provide am
pie revenue for the government. While
he did not refer specifically to the in
come tax, his staten ent declaring that
ample revenue may be derived from
other sources, was accepted as direct
opposition to all such propositions.
Nearly every senator was present and
careful attention was accorded Aid
rich. He said his policy was not to
discuss the wisdom Or unw:sdom of
the protective policy. He said there
would be no attempt to restrict the
debate on the democratic side.
Washington, April Ex-senator Aid
rich, in explaining the tariff bill to-
day, said In part:
THE practical question to which I
call attention is, Will the bill as re-
ported from the finance committee
in connection with the internal rev.
ente taxes to meet the government
expenses without additional taxes?'
answer @unhesitatingly that it will
He then submitted a statement
showing estimates for the fiscal years
1909 to 1911, inclusive, as follows:
Receipts for 1909, $605 ,O47 ,23O. Dis
bursements, 1914 1909 $3.50. Deficit, $69,-
462, ,45O.
Receipts for 1910, 1855 ,ooo, 900. Dis
bursements, 100000, 900. Deficit, $45,-
100000.
Receipts for 1911, $685., ,OOO, ,OOO Dis
bursements, $685., 100000. Surplus, of
$50, 100000.
Mr.. Aldrich explained he arrived at
these figures with the aid of the treas
ury experts, based on figures for the
past years. For the purposes of ascer-
tanning the relative revenue produc-
ing qualities of the senate bill and the
law of 1897. The comparison was
made by applying the rates of the SEN
ate bill to the importations of 1907,
which was the last year of normal
trade. Mr.. Aldrich said the revenues
under the senate bill in 1907 would
have been eight millions greater than

ROBBED WHILE SEEING
CITY an GAS IIGAILI

John Given, of Elkins, came to Ros-
well last week to look after business
matters and incidentally to vile
away few tedious hours. Accordin g
to his own story, he got in few
drinks last Friday night and with the
assistance of some cab men went out
to see the city by gas light. He was
unloaded at the corner of Seventh ST.
and North Pennsylvania at about one
O'Clock in the night and suddenly be
set by a bunch of men who threw
him down, kicked him and rffied his
pockets. He made no resistance, he
says, and gave up all he had, includ-
ing $11O in cash and a certified check
for $3.50. The check has not shown
up, and has probably been burned.
His pocket book was found near
avenue. After the robbery, he told
the officers, the cab men who hauled
him out let him get in the carriage
again and brought him back to town.
The theory of the officers is that it
was a concocted scheme of the cab
men to rolf the tenderfoot. Will
Peddicord, Will Foreman and VIII
johnson, all cab drivers, and Joe Barr
bartender who came here recently
from Telluride, Colo, have been ar
rested charged with completely in the
robbery. They were arraigned before
Justice A. j. Welter this morning. All
pleaded not guilty and their hearing
was set for tomorrow morning at
nine O'Clock. Constable Jim Johnson
is the officer who is working up this
case and made all the complaints.
The investigation of this case has
brought about the arrest of two wo-
men. Dot Bray, charged with keeping
disorderly house. and Pearl Barton,
charged with disorderly conduct.
Their hearing is set for three O'Clock
this afternoon

under the Dingley rates. He said this
increase would have been effected by
the increases only on luxuries.
The changes proposed by the SEN
ate bill, according to Aldrich, are new
definitions of dutiable values and new
methods in their proper ascertainment
with new and more efficient methods
for their collection and provision for
the creation of customs court to
ensure uniformity of decisions in
customs cases. He said undervalua-
tions are estimated as high as twenty
five percent of the collections. If it
should appear that he had overesti-
mated the revenue possibilities, he
said, it would be the duty of congress
% reduce expenditures to conform to
it. The imposition of other taxes would
