WASHINGTON. Sept. 3p.-An expen,,-

ing the arid land reclamation projects
in the west and in installing additional
projects in states which have not re-
ceived their quota is uader contem

President Taft in his speech at spo-

fecting a $10,OOO.0O0 loan to be expend-
ed in completion of the projects now
under way. Director f. ii. Newell of
the reclamation service. who returned
to Washington today. dissl losed the fact
that members of the senate irrigation
committee, whom he has accompanied
on an inspection tour to the government
irrigation systems, had expressed the
hope that congress would not only see
the benefit of giving tie secretary of
the interior authority to make this bond
issue, but would annually authorize a
loan of this size until the great re-
clama ton scheme was fully worked out.

On ship subsidy the president

Japan is one of the most active
and generous countries in the
matter of subsidies TO its mer-
chant marine that we have, and
the effect lis only too visible In an
examination of the statistics. For
this reason IT seems to me that
there is no subject to which con-
gress can better devote it's atten-
tion In the coming session than
the passage of bill which shall
encourage our merchant marine
In such way as to establish
American lines directly between

day. "Fhis amount, added to the sum
of $40, 900, 900 which congress may pos
sibly grant authority to raise, viii
make up a fund which will send the
various reclamation projects rapidly
forward to completion. OF course, the
idea of issuing the bonds which shan
be secured by the reclamation projects
themselves, and the irrigable land
under them, is as yet in embryo, but
President Taft has cordially taken 1T
up. and there is no doubt that he will
present it carefully to congress in his
forthcoming message.
Several senators of the irrigation
committee strongly favor it, and there
appears to be every chance that the
senate at least will adopt the measure.
This idea carries with it not only the
first loan. but the regular annual au-
thorization Of an amount to be raised
by the secretary of the interior until
such time as irrigation projects are
supporting themselves and the govern
ment is receiving back the funds ex-
pended on them through the sale of
irrigated lands to settlers"

Action in Illinois
TSoeciol Dspdfch 10 The Call

SACRAMENTO. Sept. 9o.-The news
that the state of Illinois is going to at
tempt TO collect an inheritance tax
from the estate of E. H. Hartman, the
late railroad king. has aroused the
curiosity of state Controller A. B. Nye.
If Illinois succeeds in the matter
Controller Nye intends to demand an
inheritance tax also on the big hold
ings of Hartman, in shis state.
Nye has written to the attorney gem
eral of Illinois for information as to
his procedure. An inheritance tax
would net the state a tidy sum from
Harriman's interests.

Taft to Visit Alaska

Later in the day, when he was ad-
mitted to membership in the Arctic
brotherhood, an international organ
ization made up of Canadians and
Americans interested in the develop
ment of Alaska, the president an
nounced that he intended to visit
Alaska next summer and to go as far
into the territory as time would per-
nit, in order that he might come into
contact with the people and see for
himself what might best be done for
their welfare.
The president frankly told the mem
bers of the brotherhood that he did
not believe Alaska at this time is
ready for entire self government.
In announcing his position with re-
gard to a ship subsidy, President Taft
declared that with the Sc 6,0O0,0o0 TO
sS,000,000 earned by the government
on foreign mail service each year
satisfactory system of subsidy could
be inaugurated. AS to the argument
that a ship subsidy would be an ap-
preparation of public moneys to pri-
vate companies, the president said
that a subsidy was in principle and eff
feet much the same as protective
tariff system, much the same as gov
ernment assistance in the development
and improvement of rivers and harbors
and the reclamation of arid lands
through government irrigation prof.

Girl Accuses Married Man OF
Being FianCe Who Gave
Her Forged Check

The monument of maidenly affections
upbuilt by Miss Sibyl S. Steers. the II
year old girl of MeIrose. was toppled
from it's foundation in dramatic and
sensational style by her yesterday
morning, when she pointed out to the
police r. S. X. Fitzhugh. a surveyor.
volunteer officer and contractor, as the
man who had given her the forged
check for $500 which she tried to cash
at the Croeker national bank. and who
posed as George c. Chadwick.
That is the man." she said to De-
tectives Bell and Murphy and Police
man Tom Walsh, pointing to Fitzhugh,
who was walking in California street
near the Mercantile trust building. A
moment later she saw him placed un-
der arrest 1t was the final step in the
warped course of love into which her
youthful feet had wandered.
.Fitzhugh denied he had even seen
the girl. He was emphatic in his
statements and he reiterated them
again and again.
That is the man." repeated Miss
Steers. And on her word he was
locked up.

The arrest came as a successful eli

If war should come at this time,
President Taft declared, the United
States would not have any vessels to

be doubtful, under the neutrality laws,
he added, IL the United States would be
able to buy foreign vessels in the
emergency.
The president had an interesting
and busy day, which ended to-
night with banquet in the
Washington building, on the ex-
position grounds. Early this morning
he motored out to the fair grounds and
his first function of the day was to
review a parade of nations, in which
