HOUSE STOPS
BITTER SPEECH
Mr.. Willett of New York At
taCkS the President.
HIS TALK INTERRUPTED

Is Frequently Called to Order, the
Chair Finally Declaring His Lam
guage Offensive and Permission to
Continue Is Refused-Refers to
Roosevelt as GaruoyIe and Pigmy
Descendant of Dutch Trades People.
Washington, Jan. 19-Characteriz-
Ing President Roosevelt as a gargoyle
and as this pigmy descendant of
him with having established court
In the White House which would have
delighted the heart of his admired
Alexander Hamilton" Mr.. Willett
(Dem., N. W, in the house of repre-
sentatives, made one of the most bit
ter attacks on the chief executive ever
heard in that body. Several times
during the course of his remarks Mr..
Willett was called to order by Repub-
lican members and finally the chair
ruled his remarks offensive and he
was ordered to take his seat.
A motion to permit him to pro
ceed in order was defeated by
party vote Mr.. Willett took
for his theme "The Passing of Roose-
welt" and in a speech of great length
dealt with a number of the president S
acts since he came into office and
scathingly denounced them. He said
the president was "quarreling one
day with the practical politicians /;
then with the part your hair in the
middle reformers; then with the So
cialists; then with the great indus
trial corporations; wrestling in agony
of spirit with Noah Webster and our
glorious English tongue; taking fall
out of nature takers and exhorting
our women to avoid race suicide"
WiIIett's Biography Of Roosevelt.
Mr.. Willett gave brief biography
Of Mr.. Roosevelt's life, beginning with
his experience as cowboy down to
the present time, and accused him, I'm
hts early manhood. of having had
preposterous notions, of having
"knifed" Secretary Long, of being "a
warrior alone in Cuba" of having won
the governorship Of New York by a
mere f1uke, when the false halo OF
San Juan hill was above his head !;
the beneficiary of assassins and, last
and crowning piece of luck, the nom
inee for president when all the ag.
gressive elements of passion wanted
to see their own candidate defeated
Continuing, Mr.. Willett said:
"And, Mr.. Chairman, should the
gentlemen who view this curious fig
ure with feigned admiration ask me
how any son of Adam can be at the
same time hay tedder, jocularity
and gargoyle can only answer that
this particular hero is an eccentric

Analyses Roosevelt's Ancestry.

HE boasts of Irish blood, but no
historic Irishman would have treated
an ally as he treated Mr.. Hartman.
''He exultS in strain of the old
Huguenot, but the French gentleman

only offense is inadvertently passing

tyrant and Henry w, Henry of Ma

Refers to Ananias Club.
At this juncture Mr.. Willett called
the roll of the so called Ananias club
and said
"The earth is intoxicated and reels
around our jocularity. He alone is
the personification of sobriety, tenn

speech and action. The ever moving

throwing upward the clover of poll

LAND QUERIES AND ANSWERS.

The queries following, received from
Idaho. were referred to the Department
of the Interior at Washington, aud the
answers were kindly furnished by Chief
Clerk G.. +. Hanke Of tho office of In
dian Affairs:
l. When will the Fort Hall Indian
reservation be thrown open for settle
meut2
Auswer-Tbe act Of June 6, 1900 (31
Stat. H., 672), ratified an agreement
with the Fort Hall Indians by which
certain Of their lands were ceded to the
United States. The ceded lands were
thrown open TO settlement, June II,
1902, by proclamation of the president
of May I, 1902. No alIotments have
been made to the Indians on the di
minished reservation and no legislation
has been enacted by congress authoriz.
ing its opening, Until this has beer
done no definite information can be
give as to the time Of opening.
2. What plan will be used in dispos.
ing of the land?
Answer-The land on the diminished
reservation IN course Of time will be
allotted 10 the Indians. and it is not
believed there will he very much sur
plus agricultural land after the allot.
ment is made, Tho manner Of disposal
Of such surplus land as there may be
will be set forth in the proclamation
authorizing the opening.
). When will the Blackfoot reservoir
| be completed?
! Answer-It is impossible at this time
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1909-05-09

to answer this question definitely. From
present indications it is believed that
the reservoir will be completed within
two years. 1t may be, however, that
unforeseen difficulties will be enconnt
cred which will delay its completion
4. What price will settlers have TO pay
for the water and what will be the
terms!
Answer-This will depend entirely on
the total cost Of the project. 1t is eX-
pected that the government will be in
position to furnish settlers with three
acre-feet of water per acre per annum
at cost Of approximately 500 per mere
for reclamation This, of course, does
not include cost of maintenance. The
experience of the department has been
that irrigation work is subject to SO
many unknown conditions, and the cost
of materials and labor liable to such
fluctuations, that preliminary estimates
cannot be relied on. The act of March
l. 1907 GA Stat, L., 10l5-102l), pro-
vidcd that the amount at which water
rights are sold shall he payable in five
equal annual installments. 1t is posi-
bic that congress may hereafter extend
the time in which payments may be
made.
). Can a man who filed on forty
acres III 1902 aud made final proof III
1908. but who has received no patent,
file on the Fort Hall land. when opened
for entry, up to l20 acres'
Answer-This would depend entirely
on the provisions of the act opening
the reservation, but the rules of the
government land office provide that any
person who has already made final proof
for less than 100 acres under the home
stead laws may, If he is otherwise quail
fed make a second or additional home
stead entry for such amount of public
lands as will, when added 10 the land
for which he has already made proof,
not exceed in the aggregate l60 acres.
This would apply to the Fort Hall res
ervation if opened TO settlement.
