Salt Lake City, Utah, Sept. 17.-Sena-
tor Joseph W. Bailey, of Texas, has an
n his intention of heading a
trainload of Texas delegates to the Ma
tional Irrigation congress at Salt Lake
City to do battle with Colorado over the
veXing question Of state rights to the

argument with the o Star state Will
be advanced under the leadership of

backed by a strong delegation from
Colorado to arrive at Salt Lake City
September 90. Differences of opinion
regarding title to some of the water
along the Colorado-Utah line have
arisen recently and, although Utah's
position as hostess to the congress will
not permit of active participation in
the fight, which otherwise might be
made three-cOrnered. it is assured hat
developments will be watched with in

BIG MEETING IN
THE CITY HALL
TOMORROW

To give citizens a chance to
learn more of the contemplated
port commission to be voted on
week from tomorrow, a meet
ing by friends of the idea will be
held at the city hall tomorrow
night.
Newton Peer, who is the leader
in the movement, says that the
meetings already held have slim
ulated considerable interest.
Peer says it does not necessar-
lily follow that the commission
will adopt the Wapato waterway
scheme IL elected, although the
port commission plan is being
Waterway advocates, who are
perfectly satisfied with the port
commission candidates.
This plan contemplates a 3d.
100000 expense. The promoters
want the people outside to pay
at least third of it. The port
commission, If the scheme goes
through, will be able to pay one
half under the law. Before they
can adopt the plan, however, they
must submit it to the people. If
the people turn it down, then the
port commission will tax the peo-
pie $205,000 year to maintain
an office and hire clerks and run
the board, until some other
schem can be evolved.
Opponents of the port COM
mission say there is not one
chance in 100 of the people ever
voting to adopt the Wapato wa
terway scheme and undertaking
to help pay the bills, and If not,
then they Insist a pert commits
sion will be simply a tax-eating
luxury with no results.
If the N. P. property is to be
developed across the city water
way the general verdict seems to
be in favor of the city doing it
and making this an adjunct of its
present municipal dock depart
ment, thereby making source
of revenue to the city when the
project begins to pay big.
versy that is bothering the advo-
cafes OF the port COlnInlSSlOn Is
that the law creating the COM
mission has never been tested. A
suit is now in supreme court to
test it. If the people voted the
commission existence and the su-
preme court later knocked it out,
the people might in the meantime
have been saddled with consider
able expense that could bring no
results.
The superior court at Seattle
held the commission law valid.
Lawyers say it is likely the SUI
preme court will do likewise, but
there is a question about it.
However, the port commission
advocates say they will take
chances and think it will pay to
do SO.
In addition to the meetings
throughout the county arranged
last week, a meeting at Milton is
announced for Thursday night.
L. L. Benbow, e. F. Messenger and
J. ]. Anderson will be among the
speakers.

POLITICAL NEWS AND COMMENT BY
TIMES WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT

According to present plans,
congress will adjourn early in
August. The Archibald case is
to go over until fall, the tariff re-
duction bills, parcels post and
workman's compensation law are
to be sidetracked and with the
passage of the regular appropria-
ton bills, Congress will hasten
homeward to mend their political
fences and seek the GOODNESS of
mountain and seashore.
Counsel for Judge Archibald
insist upon regarding the i'm
parchment proceedings as similar
to a criminal prosecution. In a
criminal procedure the defendant
is entitled to a reasonable time
in which to prepare his defense
after he has received formal no
tice of the charges against him.
Judge Archibald is not supposed
to have any official knowledge
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1912-07-22

of the impeachment inquiry which
has been in progress for months.
Although he has sat in the COM
mittee room with his counsel and
listened to the exhaustive in
quiry before the house judiciary
committee, it is the theory of the
law, as voiced by his counsel,
that he knows nothing about the
matter until the senate, having
been officially informed of the
charges, officially informs him.
After this procedure his counsel
says he would be entitled to thir-
ty days at least in which to make
response, anG then an additional
time in which to prepare his de-
Tense and summon his witnesses.
The impeachment of Andy
Johnson began within less than
a month from the time 1t was ini-
tiated. Senator's are disposed,
however, to let the Archibald case
drag,

ASSOCIATE OF JOE"
LETTER. IS DIVORCED

New York. July ls.-Supreme Court
Justice GiegerIch to-day signed de-
cree of divorce IN favor OF Mrs. Linda
Lee Thomas, wife OF Edward Russell
Thomas, former banker. The court
took this action in confirming report
of Phoenix Ingraham as referee. rec
ommending a decree in favor Of Mrs.

Thomas is said to be in France at the
present time. He left New York in

business as the associate OF Joe" Lei
ter. Charles W. Morse and F. Augustus
Heinze. When the panic OF 1907 came
Thomas failed for about 100000. His
creditors have since been trying to col

Mrs. Thomas named Theodore Ger

who have been too friendly with her

How to BEAT" the Heat.

Physicians are urging the public dur
ing torrid spells such as we are suffer
ing under for the past two weeks to
eat less meat as a means to help in
solving the high cost of living problem
to maintain Our health. Eating less meat,
but consuming largely of other food,
will little benefit the pocketbook, but
partaking sparingly of most things
when the temperature is excessive or
the humidity high, will decidedly bene-
fit the health and add to our comfort.
A light diet is good for most of US
now and then. In the hot season it is
good for all as long as the heat is
distressing. This is as true as to men
as to women and the little folk. Fish
if absolutely fresh-is far better, be-
cause less heating than meat; salads
are better than starchy vegetables, fruits
are better than cakes or buildings.
But above all practice moderation in
all things 1t is quite easy to keep
well and in working order in warm
weather. 1t depends upon yourself.
What and how much you eat; what you
do and how you do it.

Roosevelt's Western Trip.

Once again the irrepressible Roose-
welt is to stir the country. From Oys-
ter Bay he is to sally forth, equipped
with a bagful of speeches, endowed
with an untiring constitution, the pos
SCISSOR of noble pair of lungs. Across
Kansas and Minnesota and other West
ern States there is TO be a sirocco of
hot words. The air will palpitate with
caloric utterances. Crowds will gather
to see the SLOUGH hat waved from the
rear end of the train, to laugh when
white teeth glisten, to applaud when ex-
plosive sentences strike upon their re-
ceptive ears. Roosevelt's appearance
anywhere is as good as circus. He
is the three rings and the side show all
in one.
But the spectacle of his cavorting
around the country, with his expenses
paid by Steel Trust magnates, is not
one to inspire either gods or men.

The Undercurrent in Panama.

There is no room for dissatisfaction
on the part of the Panamese with the
result of the Presidential vote, conn
hitting the choice of the electoral COL
lege to DR.. Belisario Porras, on the
ground of interference by the United
States. We know that the protection
given by this government to insure A
pure ballot was granted upon the re-
quest not only of the administration,
but of the opposition party as well.
What is more, and remains an incon-
trovertible fact, is that it all was strict
ly In accord with precedent and with
treaty stipulations.
To talk of partiality is absurd Had
the United States had any such idea,
which it certainly had not, it would
have favored Mr.. Diaz against DIR.
Porras, for il is well understood that
the latter is anything but friendly to US.
Still his behavior when stationed here
as the envoy of the little republic was
correct and all that could be desired
outwardly. What did somewhat sur
prise here was the sudden withdrawal
