Associated Press.
New York, Aug. 18.-Cornelius
@. Hayes, the deposed police inspec-
tor, will be invited to talk over the

consequences, is preparing TO tell
all he knows regarding the alleged
collision of the police with the un-
derworld. 1t is believed that his
testimony, if given to the district
attorney, will put the latter in pos
session of invaluable facts concern
ing the police connection with the
tenderloin.
Mayor Gaynor is responsible for
the statement that newsdealers paid
$1,500,000 annually as protection
money. This has been supplemented
with the declaration that aldemanic
influence is responsible for this
grating.
II Is said that the mayor has Sc
cured innumerable affidavits bearing
out his statement.
The proposal of a certain alder
man TO call a special meeting of the
board to investigate the mayors
charges is welcomed by the mayor.

AFTER NICK'S SCALP
Moose Divided in Ohio and Alice is
Very Indignant.

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 1S.-
Trouble is brewing in the first Ohio
congressional district. A Bull
Moose, DR.. A. o. Sewick, is after the
political scalp of Representative
Nicholas Longworth, the so%n-in-law
OF the original Bull Moose. Thus a
"house is divided against itself"
Mr.. Longworth has gone out to
see If his fences are all right. Mrs.
LongwOrth, popularity known as
Miss Alice, daughter of Colonel
Roosevelt, will, it is said by her
friends here, stand by her husband.
She will have none of the Ohio Bull
Moose.
Uncle Joe" Cannon is laughing
up his sleeve at his colleague, Mr..
Longworth, who deserted the Old
Guard in one of the last fights made
by that brave but discredited little
band on the floor of the house and
went to the progressives.
"You too, Nick?" he said as the
Longworth vote was recorded with
that of Norris of Nebraska, Muir
dock OF Kansas and Lenroot of Wis
consin.
MY old friend, Nick the insur-
gent opposed by a Bull MOoser, a

people. A little farmer would suf-
fer in silence rather than attempt TO
get redress from a stale commission
er at Austin even as he does today
when he suffers damage from the
railroad.
! am in favor Of extending author
ity to the commissioners court to
arbitrate and adjust all differences
between irrigation companies and
the people. The commissioner
would not be eligible to serve on any
case from his own precinct. 1t is
important that the people see that
they have a representative that will
not work exclusively for the irriga-
tion companies. These companies
are entitled to representation that
will be liberal and just to them, for
any other policy would be ruinous
to both.

William Devery, who was once the

had" but who Is now in retirement
at Far R~ockaway, discovered the
other day that he was living in New
York city. This discovery was
brought about by the appearance
under abe order of new things in
that borough of a force of men who
were put to work repairing the
streets of Far Rockaway. Catching
sight Of the workmen. il is said, the

This is Bill Devery," he said 10

invited TO meet with us. The gov

should be invited to send delega-
tions. | am sure that all parts of

gestions as a starter on the work, a

About Irrigation Laws.

Concerning the irrigation laws Of
the state, we know that they are not
up to date. There is no uniformity
in the rules and regulations of the
numerous companies. I regret to
say that some of the companies
should not be allowed t do business.
Some have violated their contracts
with impunity. and the farmers
living on their lands are thoroughly
discouraged, and some Of them have
been ruined by the bad faith and
extortion of such concerns.
Some Of these farmers have been
ruined and have moved away. What
recourse has the owner of forty
acres in a contention against un-
scrupulous corporations. There are
companies in the Valley that are
doing more than their contracts call
for and they are reaping the re-
wards Of virtue.
| mention these conditions 10 IL
lustrate the Importance Of some
form OF state supervision. Most
states where irrigation Is practiced
have state commissioners whose su-
pervision over irrigation is similar
10 those over railroads. Ii strike:
me that such commissions are TOT
far away from the people. We want
some regulating power closer to thu
