BUDAPEST WAS
GLAD INDEED TO
SEE ROOSEVELT

Budapest, April H.-Hungary received
Theodore Roosevelt with open arms after
he crossed the frontier today, popular
enthusiasm, according to the newspaper
editors, exceeding anything since the days
of Louis Kossuth.
The journey, after Colonel Roosevelt
left the train at Pressburg, to spend the
afternoon with Count Apponyi, whom he
had entertained at Washington and Oys-
ter Bay, assumed almost the character of
triumphant procession. The entire pop
ulation of the ancient capital of Hungary
turned out, the mayor and other ciry
authorities greeting the ex-President of
the United States at the station They
welcomed him as the apostle of liberty
and peace.
At the three villages, each made up of
different race, Magyar Slivask and
German, that the party passed through
on the automobile trip to the Apponyi
castle, Colonel Roosevelt was met with
equal enthusiasm. In each instance the
president of the village, the priest, the
schoolmaster, fire brigade in uniform and
the school children in white stopped the
automobile to offer flowers and words of
welcome.
The return trip from the castle, by
another route, was marked by similar
demonstrations, and when Budapest was
reached at 8 o'clock tonight the former
President was fairly mobbed at the sta
ton which. in spite of the heavy rain
fall. was surrounded by thousands. Eild.
ly cheering.
The mayor of Budape-. and represen-
tatives from all the societies in the city
were there to meet Colonel Roosevelt
when he stepped out on the platform.
while hundreds of railroad men from the
yards clanbered on top of the train to
take part in the demonstration.

RIO GRANDE RIVER
IS TICKLE STREAM
Shifting Channel Is the Cause
of Controversy
A DECISION rs DESIRED
Both Mexico and the United States Are
Claiming "A Part of the City of El
Paso-Secretary Knox VIII
Take Up the Matter
A DECISION IS DESIRED

Washington, April 1.-THE shift
ing channel of the Rio Grande river,
the river with a bed of sand, Is RESPONSE
BILE for the present diplomatic controversy
whether the extreme southern section of
the city of Ell Paso, Texas, on the Mex
lean frontier, worth several millions, does
not really belong on the Mexican side of
the boundry line. The land involved,
which is known as the Chamizal zone,
and over which the United States has al
ways exercised jurisdiction, is about one
and half miles long and five blocks in
thickness.
FL Paso never had considered the Mex
lean claims seriously until the meeting
between Presidents Taft and Daz. when
1t was agreed the territory should be re-
garded as neutral. Citizens of Ell Paso
are inclined to regard this agreement as
tending to admit that Mexico might have
claim to the territory and steps were
Immediately taken to secure definite SET
tlement of the whole matter, as real es-
tate deals In the section were becoming
seriously involved. Citizens including the
mayor, visited the state department some
weeks ago, and urged Secretary Knox
soon as possible. representing that the
delay In fixing this bit of international
boundary line had already depressed the
Value OF property lying within the zone.
MT. Knox gave assurances that he
would take up the matter Immediately
with Mexico, and 1t was his hope that a
conclusion might be reached within the
next few weeks
The treaty of peace with Mexico. which
Followed the nf i,1 Id

vided that the channel OF the Rio Grande
should be the boundary line but In SUM-
Elementary boundary conventions es-
pecially those of 1886 and 1889, the fact
was recognized that the Rio Grande river
was extremely tickle as to keeping its
original channel, and It was agreed that
In the event of change of the course of
the river by accretion. the territory
gained by either country should remain
In the country into which it had been
thrown. but in the event of a change by
evulsion, the territory involved should
remain the property of the country with

by taking an entire new course is the
question at issue.
Up to a few years ago Mexico seemed
to have acquiesced in the exercise by
the United States of jurisdiction over the
territory now In dispute, but at that time
certain claimants TO the land entered
suit in the federal court to determine its
status.

Wash ington, April 17.-(Special-No
better waterway scheme of expenditure
has ever been provided by Congress
than the pending rivers and harbors
appropriation bill. That Is the delib-
crate opinion of Senator John H. Bank
head of Alabama of the Senate COM
merce committee. who has been directly
and actively interested in waterway
legislation ever since 1889. when he en-
tered the House as representative from
the Sixth Alabama district. He served
10 terms as a member of the House and
was for IL years member of the rivers
and harbors committee. In 1907 he WINS
appointed member of the waterways
commission. Immediately following his
last term in the H re
Senator Bankhea, .ained strength
and recognition in Alabama by his sa-
gacious appreciation of her great wa
terwavs. the Tennessee river, the War
rior, Tombigbee, Coosa and Alabama
rivers. and Mobile harbor, the rivers
traversing the uneoualed mineral belt
OF the state and being susceptible of
Improvement of incalculable value to

But, with all of his loyal devotion to

and sensible of the advantages of tho
progress In the Improvement Of naviga-
tion In the other states. His long expe-
rience enabled him to take broad. ma
ton wide view of the great subject.
The indications point to an annual
appropriation of at least $50, ,000. 900 for
the Improvement of navigation of our
waterways" said Senator Bankhead to-
day.
That there shall be no cessation of
the work upon projects well conversed
and approved by the army engineers is
now the prevailing view
Thus we are getting down to a prac-
tlcal basis. with promise of far better
results than we have hitherto achieved
FOR long time water-power develop-
ment has been going on. if at all with
out due respect to navigation, and the
Improvement of navigation has been
proceeding without respect to the until
ization of water power. f1TTt
We are now trying to reach a solu-
tion OF the problem that we can't have
power without storage and storage ir1
such way as will preserve navigation
as our wisest and most practical ste .es-
men have deemed as an essential to
the public welfare"
