Threatens to Talk the Engi-
neer Corps Bill to Death.
FRANKLY ADMITS PURPOSE
Saws That He Will Filibuster if It
Becomes Necessary.
TEXAS PROJECT DEFEATED
Senator Asserts That the Members
Of the Board Went Out Of Their
Way to Oppose It.

Frankly admitting his determina-
ton to filibuster. Senator Bailey today
entered upon a crusade against the bill
increasing the Engineer Corps of the
army.
When Senator Warren asked unanimous
consent to take up the bill the Texas SEN
ator objected, and when the measure was
taken up by an aye and no vote he took
the floor and began speech which he
promised should continue as long as
might be necessary to prevent the pas
sage of the bill.
II intend to prevent this bill going
through, and 1 will filibuster. If neces-
sary. to accomplish that result he said.
Il intend to resist with all the power
and endurance l possess
Senator Bailey's objection was due to
his view that the board of engineers
should be so restricted as to confine its
labors to engineering questions.
Texas Project Defeated.
He asserted that the board had de-
feated a river improvement project in
Texas in connection with the recent river
and harbor bill on the ground that the
commercial conditions did not justify
the undertaking. He declared this was
entirely outside the province of the
board, and he contended that If the en-
gineers would conf1ne their services to
those legitimately pertaining to their OF
fee there would be no necessity for IN
crea aSes.
Senator Warren made the point that
in the end the opinion of the engineers
was not controlling.
"Ah, but it does control" retorted Mr..
Bailey, and, for the purpose of illustrat-
ing his contention stated that the Beau
mont Orange project had been beaten on
this ground.
Influence of the Board.
81 had a positive promise of a majority
vote to defeat the conference report on
the river and harbor BILL he said. "but
when the test came 1 got only twelve
votes out of fifty-f1ve because the report
of the board of engineers was against
me-"
Mr. Dixon remarked that the purpose
of the bill was to set the army engineers
ito digging Irrigation ditches,' for which
he said they had had no training.
MIR. Warren challenged this statement,
and, expressing the opinion that it was
made in the interest of Mr.. Newell, chief
Of the reclamation service, said, the
friends of that Official were making n
mistake in bringing him into the con-
troversy His tenure of office is not in
yolved in this bil," he said, 'and the bill.
can have no possible effect on It..

There exists quite a general opinion

vague, unsettled and uncertain
This is an error.
There is effective system of statu-

Rights to Water
chancellor Kent, of England, in the

accurate statement of the rule:
Every proprietor of lands on the
banks OF a river has naturally an equal
right to the use Of the water which

In a large area Of the great state of
Texas, water is the one essential ele-

CHINESE BUILT CHINESE RAIL

How China : first all-Chinese railroad

The conditions met with, the OBJ
stacIes overcome ada another chapter to
the annals of railway construction work.
Expensive-apparently foolish-detours
were made merely to avoid desecrating
the grave of some respected ancestor;
an ancient well was bridged by a gran
tie culvert in Difference to public de
mand. and many similar incidents oc
cured. Mr.. Burrage states:
1.-The coolie population in the vicin-
itv of the proposed line had heard the
story. which they interpreted literally.
that the Union Pacific was built upon
he dead bodies of 5000 Iaborers. They
had also heard that the road had been
built. largely by Chinese labor and
they reasoned that the material for
making a good roadbed in America
would be likely to make equally good
material in China. In CONSERVATION
they came to an American and inquired
about the truth of the story. 1t was
only after a long and patient explana
fion that it was possible to convince
these excited men that the actual facts
We're at variance with their notions. To

cents n daE are not at all worried about
becoming eternal 5 eepers for the road. -
