 About Three Hours QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Though No Definite Action Was Taken. All Present Are Wiser and Commit tee of Seven Was Alp pointed For Further Con ference With Engineer
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

For something like three hours yes terday afternoon before 3nr oS the largest gatherings Of Tempe canal shareholders ever held here, Louis C. Hill. supervising engineer of the re amation service. was cross examined by the shareholders and others. The examination was strenuous one for Nh ~THill but 1t took place at his own suggestion for before he was invited to be at the meeting he had made known his willingness to appear and answer such questions as should be propounded to him and which he might be able to answer.
 Viewed strictly from an impartial standpoint. the meeting yesterday aft ernoon was valuable one Regardless of which way the wind may blow whether Tempe joins the reservoir Or not, either in part pr as a, whole. there was not a person of the several hum fred who were present yesterday but who was the wiser for having attend ed Though Mir Hill was cross exam ined and asked dozens of questions. and though they were asked in all SC riousnesS. the meeting was a cordial and good natured one throughout and at it's conclusion MT Hill was tender ed vote of thanks for having pre- sented himself and given the informa ton asked for
 Nothing of definite nature was aC- complished at the meeting and the sit uation so far as entering the reservoir or draining the lands under the Tenn pc canal are concerned remains the same as it has been heretofore The shareholders. however. have q better idea of the thing as d whole than they had before but there will he good many meetings necessary. no dpUbt before a definite move of any sort is made.

GEORGlANS PROFFER
THE EXPENSE MONEY.
President Taft Will Not Accept It, but
Will Pay Travelling Bill
Himself.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May ga
protest against the action Of certain
Democratic members of Congress in OPP
posing the appropriation of $4,000 for
the Presidents travelling expenses cover
ing the Presidents last southern trip,
and an .Iffer to make up the deficiency,
was telegraphed to Speaker Cannon to-
day by the Augusta (Ga) Chamber of
Commerce and Cotton exchange and
Georgia-Carolina fair association.
The memorial sent to the speaker, to
be presented to the House and to Presi-
dent Taft, says: Augusta, the winter
home of President Taft, stands indig-
nant and mortified at the action of GER
tain Democratic members of Congress in
defeating by technical objection the
proposition to make retroactive so as to
cover ali the expenses of his last south
arn trip, the appropriation of $4,000
for the Presidents travelling expenses"
The telegram then adds an offer of the
organizations to tender to the United
States the $500 necessary to meet the
deficiency of the Presidents recent trans
continental trip.
The President upon reading the tele-
gram was much pleased, but said he
could not possibly accept the offer of
the patriotic Georgians. He intends to
paw out of his own pocket his travelling
expenses for the remainder of the fiscal
year, amounting to about $1,000 or
$4,000.
