FOR IRRIGATION PROJECTS.
Senate Authorizes $30000000 Worth Of
Certificates Of Indebtedness.

Washington, March 2.--After brief gen.
eral discussion, the Senate today passed
the bill authorizing the issuance of $780,
OOO, 900 worth of certificates of indebted
ness for the completion of irrigation pro.
jects of the government already under
way.
The bill is intended to supply sufficient
money to finish these works and it is con-
templated that the certificates will be re-
deemed by money derived from the sale
of the lands redeemed by the improve
ments.
Senator Clay of Georgia made speech
in opposition to the principle involved
rather than against the bill itself. He
predicted that the time would come when
direct annual appropriation of ,00C
or s6O,0O0,0OO would be necessary to CARRY
on the reclamation work.
Clay then referred to Aldrich's state
ment that if he were running the govern
ment he could reduce expenditures $780,
100000
"Tf'" interjected Bailey, who sat al
Mr. Clay's side. HE is running it now
and he ought to accomplish it,"
Clay expressed doubt as to Aldrich s
ability to do as much as he had intimated

because 1 am the attorney for the
St. Francis Levee Board for the recovery
of this timber"
Davis asserted before the committee
that he did not use the words attributed
to him, but several members of the COM
mittee disagreed with him and declared
he did make the statement After the
senator's appearance before the commit
tee today the committee held long ex-
ecutive session and finally voted by prac-
tically an unanimous vote that they
would not allow Davis to make the change
desired. 1t was held that no one had a
right to change the records Of the COM
rnittee further than to make necessary
changes in verbiage. Oldfeld said regard
ing the bill:
II introduced the bill in question at the
request of United States Senator Davis
and had no interest whatever in the mat
ter have not at any time stood sponsor
for the measure"
Davis declined to make any public state
ment concerning the incident or his SER
vices in connection with the court pro-
ceedings or the bill
Tonight Senator Davis issued a for
NAL statement in which he denounced
as absolutely false and without foun-
dation the report that he was to get
a fee in the event Of the passage OF
the bill. He declared that the bill was
lust and was intended merely to quiet
the title to certain lands bought by
friends of his in Forest City from St
Francis Board. the purchases having
been made on the strength of opin-
ions rendered by ex-Secretaries of the
Interior Smith and Hitchcock.
President Roosevelt. the statement
continues, agreed with the senator
that the matter ought to be adjusted
so that the government should not
iefraud innocent purchasers. Accord
ingly the bill was introduced, the
statement proceeds, by Mr.. Oldfield
at the request of Senator Davis and
this is all the interest that he odd
fielG) has in it.

STATUARY HALL.
Collection in Capitol in Danger Of Be-
coming Humorous.

Statuary Hall in the Capitol at
Washington is not worth very much
disturbance of the peace. If rows be-
come too common over the effigies that
the states are to place there 1t will be
better to disband the marble and metal
company that now peoples that sane
tuary and give it up. The general SEN
timent of the country is safe enough
as to the privilege of selection proper
to be accorded to any state, but there
is no protection against agitating talk,
nor against the adulteration of the
quality of the company gathered in
the hall by an incursion of compare
lively ordinary people.
The last acquisition to the Statuary
Hall collection is George L. Shoup. OF
Idaho. This father of the republic
seems to have been good, honest man
but he has been dead less than 10
years and his fame has not yet matur-
ed enough to have emerged from the
boundaries of Idaho.
The collection is in danger of becom-
ing humorous 1t is impossible to pro-
tect it from mediocrity either in sculp-
ture or subject. 1t is also impossible
to protect the marble delegate from
any state from public disparagement
by disappearing critics.
Westminster Abbey is run by It's
dean, who says who shall and who
shall not be admitted to it. That duty
might not be admitted to it. That duty
might be executed for Statuary Hall by
the Sergeant Arms of the House OF
Representatives. If it is, his pay should
be raised $1,000 year, and his widow
should be entitled to a pension wheh-
ever he is killed in the discharge OF MS
duty.-Life.

pant making industry in Boston tonight
voted to strike for an increase in pay. 1t

eventually have to pay it. All pant max
ing establishments in the city will close
at P. M. Thursday. unless the manufac-
turers who place the contracts raise the
prices paid for garments
The 300 pant makers who are employed
by the contractors went on strike Mon
day in 80 shops, demanding s-hour day
and 10 to 20 per cent. increase in wages
The contractors claim they cannot meet
the advance unless the manufacturers
make better figures.
