CAN DRAW RIO GRANDE WATER
Restrictions Temporarily Removed
by Secretary StimSon.

Farmers and irrigation companies on
the United States side of the Rio Grande
have been permitted to draw upon the
water of that river for agricultural pur-
poses without restriction for the present
season. Some time ago. at the request
of the State Department. the War De-
partment prohibited the install alton OF
additional irrigation works along the
American side of the Rio Grande until
the respective rights of Mexico and the
United States to the waters Of the river
could be definitely fixed by treaty. TINS
led to vigorous protests from Texas
Secretary Stimson now has consented
to remove the restriction at least tempo
rarity in view of the fact that the diver
sion of the waters for irrigation purposes
at this season will not injuriously affect
the navigation OF the Rio Grande Inc
instructions to the engineer ofhcer In
charge at Galveston. however. makes II
clear that the War Department reserves
the right to renew the restriction at any
moment and that 1t is suspended only
under the belief that before the next dry
season the issue between the two coun-
tries can be settled by treaty.

ALL TELEGRAPH WIRES

Missionaries Tell of Murder of
School Teacher and Five
Foreign Children.

LONDON, November H.-The Baptist
Missionary Society has received a cable
gram from Shanghai stating that COM

sacre of foreigners occurred, is impossi-
BILE, as the telegraph wires have been cut.
Taiyuen. the capital of the province Of

PICKING, November 2l.-Chfnese Off

Of foreigners, as well as Manchus, has
occurred at Sianfu. The legations believe
that the report viii prove true. There
were forty foreigners In Sianfu and many
missionaries in the smaller Shensi towns.
Up to the present only Chinese reports
have been received regarding the mas
sacre. There has been no telegraph or
postal communication with Sianfu for
more than three weeks.

egram had been received from Sianfu be-
fore their departure from southern Shen-
ST, announcing the murder of Mrs. Beck
man, a scnoolmistress, and FIVE foreign

Many Chinese girls in Miss Bookings
dale's school. who were mistaken for
Manchus because of their big feet, were
also reported to have been murdered. A
German. Phillip Manners, who is in the
Chinese postal service. was among
others killed.
Messrs Sandberg and Erickson say
that a magistrate In their town offer

Shenshi probably is the most anti.foreign
province in China proper, not having re-
ceived a lesson at the hands OF the for

AEROPLANES ON BATTLESHIPS.
Another Year May See Their install
lation Thinks Cant. Chambers.

Another year will see the hydroaero-
plane developed to such an extent that
each battleship Of the American navy
may have it's own flying machine, in the
opinion of Capt. Washington l. Cham
bers, who has charge of the aeronautical
work Of the Navy Department
Capt. Chambers believes that as soon
as a solution Is found for the motor prob
lem, on which practically all aviation ex-
perts are now working, the installation Of
hydro-aeroplanes as part of the equip
ment of battleships will be begun.
It is not considered probable that the
navy aeronauts will follow the plan Of
the army and move its equipment south
for practice during the winter. When
the weather at Annapolis, where the navy
hydro-aeroplane experiments are carried
on. becomes too disagreeable for flying
purposes the aeronauts viii give attention
exclusively to the motor problem. They
believe that by the time the flying season
opens again in the spring they will have
a perfected motor particularly adapted to
their purposes.

LONDON, November 21.-The hearing
in the cross suits brought as a conse-
qtence of the collision of the White Star
line steamship Olympic with the British
cruiser Hawke. off the northern coast of
the Isle of Wight September 20, was re-
sumed before the admiralty court today.
Samuel T. Evans presided. The case for
the owners Of the Olympic closed this
morning and the counter case for the
British government opened with the tesu-
mony of Commander Blunt of the cruiser
Hawke.
Commander Blunt told of the approach
of the Olympic and related that he had
remarked to his navigating officer that
she was coming unpleasantly close, at the
same time asking whether the Hawke
could not inhaul more to starboard. The
navigating officer replied: mot until you
pass the red buoy"
The position was precious uncomforta-
ble,' said Commander Blunt. The two
vessels came toward one another until
only three-quarters of cable distance
separated them.
Gave Order "Hard Aport."
Commander Blunt then ordered the
Quartermaster to port
The snip commenced to swerve to port
Directly I noticed this 1 called down:
What are you doing? Port! Port! Hard
aport" The words were hardly out of
my mouth before 1 realized the increas-
ing velocity of the vessels swerve No
helm could stop her. At that moment
the Quartermaster reported, The helm is
jammed.' ="
Commander Blunt then ordered Full
astern both. and himself damned the
telegraphs down SO as to make sure.
Shortly after this the Hawke struck the
Olympic. He judged the speed of the
Olympic to be nineteen or twenty knots.
The cruiser had been travelling fifteen
knots, but when she struck the Olympic
her speed was only eight knots.
Commander Blunt thought the jamming
of the helm to be. due to the wheel being
put over faster than the engine was de-
signed to run.
Commander Blunt expressed the opin-
lon that suction pure and simple" caused
the Hawke TO turn to port. He denied
the statements Of Olympic witnesses that

Although the correspondence in the
matter has not been made public, it was

that the District heads are in receipt

from Col. Langfitt. The army ofiicial is

Jurisdiction Divided.
While the greater number of water
mains are under the control of the

der the supervision of the War Depart
ment. Construction by the federal gov

of supplying federal buildings is the
cause of the divided jurisdiction.
