jects were at a standstill and would

Mr.. Carlin of Virginia made the point
that quorum was not present and near
ly an hour was spent in calling the. roll
before a quorum could be assembled,
Mr.. Underwood spoke at length In OBJ
lection to the project. "Three-fifts of
this land you purpose irrigatng is now
in the hands of private owners" said he.
land only two-fifths are owned by the
government which provides the means for
its reclamation
"In all cases in which the land Is pri-
vately owned the government charges for
the use of the water so that the money
Is returned" Minority Leader Champ
Clark suggested.
Continuing his remarks Mr.. Underwood
said> there was no more authority In the
constitution to devote public money to
irrigation projects than there was to
build public hospitals and to provide pub
lie parks.
Mr. Mondell, chairman of the commit
tee on public lands defended the bill as
reported by his committee as well as the
general principle of irrigation
Various amendments placing restric-
tions upon reclamation work were offer
ed and voted down by viva vote votes.
The bill was then passed.

IN BRIBERY CASE WILL
ADOPT ENTIRELY NEW COURSE

Chicago. June 2.-Precluding the pos
sibility of the defendant going upon the
stand in his own behalf. counsel say the
part of Senator William Lorimer will be
to adopt a course of evasion, and that
his denial of Mr. l.. ONeil Brownies al
legations will be complete.
The sudden move of the defense in the
alleged legislative bribery trial was wholly
unexpected. More than 80 witnesses for
the defense were thus excluded from the
records of the case. Several of these, In
addition to Browne and Senator Lori
mer, we're considered of Importance to
the defense. Among them were Lieuten-
ant Governor John G. Oglesby.
1t Is said that Brownies counsel be-
lieves their case stands or falls upon
whether the jury is willing to accept tes-
timony of Representative Charles A
White, who made the first confession, and
delivered the principal testimony in the
alleged bribery scandal.

indicated to be In the grasp of a heat
wave which is smashing June records
right and left and promises to continue
with no relief in sight. Unless some dis
turbance turns up in the atmospheric con-

atmosphere to continue high. though they
may be lessened from time TO time by
local showers. The weather bureaus Of

Attorney w. S. Forrest, who has led
the defense OF Browne. has insisted FROM

materially over the outcome in the Grim
nal court, and addeI that he has made
out n legal case for his client to stand on
In higher court.
In this connection Mr.. Forrest said at
the close of court today: I'VE have suo-
mitted all the testimony we believe is nee
essary. We wanted chiefly character wit
nesses to support the defendant. and the
jury heard about White, whose testimony
will have no weight"
States Attorney Wayman takes an
other viewpoint of the proceeding He
said Browne and his lawyers fear to al
low the case to be probed further and
that even with their own witnesses they
DIRE not take chance of an unexpected
slip.
although Mr.. Wayman began his clos
ing argument to the jury comparatively
early In the afternoon he had not finished
when court was adjourned for the day.
