PRESIDENT IN
SYMPATHY WITH
CITY'S EFFORTS
Tells Committee That San Fran
cisco Should Have Hetch
Hetchy Water
Parsons of New York Intimates
That His Hostility May
Lessen
lSpecid Dispotch to The CALI

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The special
committee here from San Francisco.
working in conjunction with Super
visor Giannfni and city Engineer Man
son in behalf of the Hetch Hetchy
water supply. today put in some Of
their best and most effective work.
This morning most of the members Of
the committee went to the White House
and had talk with President Roose-
welt about the matter
The president already fully under
stood the necessities of the case, and
although he is a pronounced nature
lover. he told the committee he be-
lieved that Hetch Hetchy valley should
be used to furnish water for San Fran
cisco. The president showed a hearty
sympathy with the city in its efforts to
get a water supply of it's own at a
minimum cost
TALK To PARSONS
After the committee was through
talking with Mr.. Roosevelt they hap
Ipened to meet at the White House Rep
resentative Parsons of New York. who
is member of the house committee
on public lands. and who has been op-
posed to Hetch Hetchy from the start.
The committee had long and seri-
GUS talk with Parsons. and told him
that this was the most available water
supply to be had for the city. Parsons
set up the argument that the Hetch
Hetchy valley is a beauty spot OF ma
ture and should not be marred by
dam and an artificial lake and asked
| the committee what San Francisco
would do if there were no water to be
had, from Hetch Hetchy. He was told
that in that case the city would go
to some place where there was water.
acquire the land and bring the water
to the city at any cost, but the COM
mittee told Parsons San Francisco was
in no position to spend more money
than is absolutely necessary to get wa
ter at the present time
Parsons was reminded that the city
had suffered almost complete destruc-
tion, was just recovering from IL, and,
with due regard for her debt limit
she could not spend unnecessary sums
for water supply, although the water
must be had
WILL READ TESTIMONY
AS result OF the talk HdrSOns, VINO
is close to President Roosevelt, agreed
to go over the testimony in the case
again. It is believed his hostility to
Hetch Hetchy has materially lessened.
While this was going on Representa-
tive Knowland and City Attorney Long
were having a talk with Speaker Can
non to find out how he stands. They
believe that if favorable action can be
had from the public lands committee
Cannon will line up on the side of San
Francisco.
On Monday evening the California
committee will give a dinner at the
Metropolitan club to the California del,
egation in congress. At this dinner
ways and means for getting the Hetch
Hetchv resolution through congress at
this session will be discussed.

ator Nelson of Minnesota, the viking
of the senate, celebrated for his WIS
dom and hardheadedness is guileless
after all.
The fact was disclosed at a meeting
OF the sub committee of the senate
judiciary committee held to consid-
er a bill to prevent the sending of
racetrack gambling information by
telegraph or telephone.
The Norwegian sage sat at the head
of the table. Thin. nervous. bearded
men who had turned from the pulpit
to fight evil hand to hand were
grouped opposite him. They led off
with voluble denunciations of book
makers and poolrooms.
Look here, let's have some ex-
PLANTATION" suddenly spoke up Nelson.
What is a poolroom? How is the
business done in a poolroom?"
The crowd looked at him. ready to
laugh at the joke, but suddenly real
ized that he was in earnest. Smiling
at his own innocence Nelson contin-
ued; Il never saw a horse race and
I want to understood this thing. Why
do you call man a bookmaker?
What does he do?
A reformed "bookie," who had join
ed the uplift when a track in which
he was interested was put out of bus
mess, undertook to explain the mys-
terry. Unconsciously, however, he used
some technical terms that left his

Yes, that's right, bet with every

What if I win - asked the SEN

addition, the IS you put up as a
stake, is returned"
The senator smiled approvingly
But what if 1 lose?" he asked.

Joined in the general merriment.
Near the close of the hearing The
senator brought up the question aga n
with the observation: IT have heard
of pool rooms where they play a kird
of billiards on cloth-covered table
but I would like to know how the
poolrooms you gentlemen refer 20 are
conducted"
The ex-bookmaker started TO an.
swer, but somebody interrupted and
the senator's quest was lost in the dis.
cussion OF another subject
