HAYDEN BOOSTS
HOMESTEAD LAW
Proposed Amendment Will Lessen
Struggles of Entrymen by Allow
. ing Patent in Three Years Instead
of Five Years.

Carl Hayden, representative from
Arizona, recently delivered a strong
| address on the proposed amendment
to the homestead law Following are
the principal parts of his speech:
Mr.. Chairman want briefly to
give my testimony to the effect that
nowhere i'm the United States is this
legislation more needed than in Ari-
zona
AS most of you are we'll aware
the larger part of the area of my
state is desert land, where there can
be no cultivation without irrigation.
1t is true there are comparatively
large sections where certain classes
of crops can be grown by a system
zona will produce in greater album
dance if the flow of some stream or
the water from some we'll can be ap-
piled to the land
When the HON estead law was fir
adopted it was applied to the land
of the Middle West, where there ",
ample rainfall to produce crops Aft
the first year, when the prairie wa
once broken, the homeGteader had an
income from his land, and the amount
of that income was generally Suffi
cient to keep him and his family sup
piled with at least the necessities
Life without any outside resourc>
But when the homesteader reachc
Arizona he finds the conditions e..
tirely different The rule there
that the settler goes upon the /
in anticipation of the building
some irrigation enterprise either by
the government of by private capital.
He takes up the land and OF
times with an assurance that he VIII
receive water for irrigation in III
near future. But the best laid plal
of government engineers or of tht
Ii fHagers of nrivate enterprises are
always subject to unforeseen delays
The universal rule has been that the
water has not been put upon the land
as soon as anticipated. The result
is that the poor homeGteader, chain
ed to his land by the requirements
of the law, must either receive out
side assistance in the shape of his
own previously acquired capital or by
loans to the limit of his personal cred
it, or else he must abandon his hor
for home and go elsewhere to make
a livelihood, for the land upon which
he resides absolutely will not &c
tribute anything to his support with
out water
This bill which reduces the time
in which he may obtain a patent from
five to three years, will not only le;-
sen the period of his struggle, br
the further provision which permits
him to be absent from his homestead
for five months in each year will t
of inestimable benefit He will then
have an opportunity to go into other
and more settled parts of the country
and there, by his Labor accumulate
the means whereby he can devote the
remaining months of the year to the
improvement of his land
There are many places in Arizona

HORRIBLE DISASTER
in MID ATLANTIC
Tragic Sinking of Titanic Worst Ca
tastrophe of Modern Times.-Hun-
dreds Perish in Icy WATERSHEDS
Saved Out of Over 22O0.

NEW YORK, April 18.-The great
est marine disaster in the history Of
the world occurred last Monday morn
ing when the Titanic, of the White
Star line, the biggest and finest of
steamships, shattered herself against
an iceberg and sank with 1900 of her
passengers and crew in less than fou
hours.
Out of nearly 2200 persons that she
carried only 675 were saved and most
of these were women and children.
they were picked up from small
boats by Cunarder Carpathia which
found, when she ended her desperate
race against time, sea strewn with
the wreckage of the lost ship and the
bodies of drowned men and women.
Confirming the most liberal es-
Inmates of loss of life and exceeding
in horror the worst catastrophe con-
ceived by imagination, the elements
of the great tragedy at seattle sink
ing of the $1O,OO0,OOO liner Titanic
are slowly coming to light The lat
est facts about the disaster are as
follows:
Nearly 200 seamen are supposed to
have been killed i'm the forecastle
head, and several of the passengers
were killed and MANNED by the force
of the collision
Many OF the women passengers were
attending levee in the grand salon
and were forced to flee to the open
boats in their evening gowns.
Several of the women went insane
because of the exposure in the open
boats and are now in the care of the
Carpathia's doctors.
The Carpathia reports that the lit
tie group of noted men on board-Col-
onel John Jacob Astor Major Archi-
bald Butt, Benjiman Guggenheimer
Isidor Straus and William T. Stead
were not among the survivors.
When the collision occurred the
dynamo room was flooded and the
wireless speedily put out of commits
sion.
Captain Smith sighted the iceberg
before she struck and attempted to
reverse his engines, but it was too
late
Captain Smith was last seen on the
bridge of the ship as she went down.
The only survivors of the wreck
are those picked up by the Carpathia.
Beyond that list there is no hope.
The Carpathia is expected to dock
Friday morning. The latest from
the captain by wireless follows:
"Mrs. Astor is very sick; danger
ously ILL More than 100 are sick in
the hospital. When the collision oc-
CURED, about two hundred sailors in
the bow of the Titanic were drowned
ike rats. After the impact the lights
on the Titanic went out i'm four min
utes. The dynamos lasted about thu
same time, which caused the wireless
operator to abandon his calls for help
AS his storage batteries were only
capable of carrying from SO ito 100
miles, the wireless operator was rend-
cred helpless.

a fellow ready to spill loop oVei
every pair of horns In the five car

About this Indian Chief with tho

afraid of holy water, fire water or

leader had the opportunity within his
grasp g. stand aside, throw his
strength to compromise candidate
and see both himself and President
Taft eliminated from the contest. The
president told callers today that to
Mr.. Roosevelt he owed his nomination
in 1905, and to Mr. Roosevelt, more
than any other man he owed his re-
nomination last Saturday night.
Although some Taft leaders pro-
fess there never was any danger of
defections in their ranks, others are
known TO have openly talked of a
promise candidate and to have
made advances to some of the adher-
ents of Colonel Roosevelt. According
To reports, these offers went to Mr..
Roosevelt and they We're turned
down He would not listen to talk Of
third man, and the Taft leaders,
seeing mo chGsCe to get together
