IN RIVER IMPROVEMENT
Col. Langfitt Having His Trou-
bIes in Carrying Out the
Anacostia Project.

Various difficulties have been encoun-
tered by Col. Langfitt. Corps of Engi-
neers. in his efforts to execute the act
of Congress providing for the reclama-
ton and development of the Anacostia
river and fats from the Anacostia bridge
northeast to the District line.
The general project calls for an earth
en- dam across the river on the line of
Massachusetts, avenue. the narrowing OF

O46 100. The subproject provides for the
construction of a masonry wall along the
west bank of the river. beginning at the
Pennsylvania avenue bridge and extend
ing upstream as far available funds
will permit. building portions OF the
upper and lower walls of the dam ana
filling the area between the walls ant,
adjacent shore with material uTeuSeu
from the channel.
All Bids Rejected.
Bids recently were invited for films
about eight acres of the flats on the west
side of the river between the Pennsyl-
vania avenue bridge and the bridge of
the Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing
ton railroad 1t was estimated that 1OO.-
600 cubic yards of material were needed
for the fill and the sum of $4,000 was
allotted for the purpose. Three bids were
received. ranging from one of $4,000 sub
mitted by Brenizer & Mullin OF this city
to one of 800. submitted by the Rich
ards Dredging Company of Philadelphia.
All bids were rejected by Col. Langf1tt as
excessive. Other arrangements for the
work will be made.
Meanwhile examinations of the titles to
property bordering the river are being
made for the location of property lines,
and negotiations are in progress for the
requirement of title to riparian rights
and permission to make the fill against
private lands on the east bank of the
river between the Anacostia and Pennsyl-
vania avenue bridges.
Congress Asked to Act.
Congress has been asked to provide
means for procuring title to a narrow
strip of land along the high water line
from the Anacostia bridge to the District
line, together with riparian rights.
Several persons controlling land ad-
jacent to the high water line have offered
to deed portions of it to the United States
in order to expedite the work of improve
ment, and it is probable that other prop.
erty owners will follow the example.

Smock Pays High Tribute.
p. Monroe Smock, Progressive cam
didate for congressman, who returned
yesterday from north Idaho where he
spoke in Senator Heyburn's home city,
paid him the following tribute last
night:
1.-THE death Of Senator Hepburn re-
moves the last landmark of the old
school of statesmen. Senator Hepburn
was man of tremendous energy with
the courage of Grover Cleveland and
the intellect Of Thomas Reed. He
was consistent at all times and while
1 have differed with MIN In nearly
every official action he has taken l
have admired him as a man OF pos
tive convictions who could always be
found"
Admired His Courage.
State Chairman Ben r. Gray. who is
conducting the Democratic campaign
in this state issued the following
statement:
Il am sorry, very sorry, to hear of
the death Of our senator. have never
agreed with him upon any political
proposition which he has advocated and
I have fought his policies the best
have been able. Although never have
agreed with him, I always have ad-
mired him as man with the courage
OF his convictions. who was not afraid
to let anyone know where he stood
upon any question. He was fearless
when 1t came to combat and IL his sup
porters deserted him he fought II out
alone. In his death not only the state
of Idaho has lost man of great abil-
ity but the nation at large has lost
statesman who has attracted the atten.
ton Of the entire country to this stae.
l am sorry to hear that he Is gone
and 80 is every one connected with
our headquarters who has ever had the
great pleasure OF meeting Senator
Hepburn"
Many other men OF prominence
eulogized the senior senator. Mayor
Arthur Hodges said:
II regret very much to learn Of the
death of Senator Hepburn. had the
pleasure of making his acquaintance
when I first came to Idaho, and have
ever since esteemed him as a man and
a public official. He had very few
peers among the public men Of today
and history will place him among the
greatest men OF these times. Idaho
and the Pacific northwest has lost one
Of its foremost men,"
Others Pay Tribute.

stated Secretary Of State clifford. His
death Is q great loss to Idaho and to

was man OF great ability and Of i'm

Former Governor Mcconnell said:
Senator w. b. Hepburn has been
called from the scene OF his accus-
toned labors; his weary brain. his ar
dent spirit are at rest. But few men,
II any, ever lived who were more de-
voted to duty. to family, to friends
and to country than he. In the death

with us is against US and he should
be thrown out of the party whether he
lives in Illinois or Idaho"
John NJ. Haines. the standpat Repub-
lican candidate for governor reputedly
controls the Caldwell Tribune, pa
per published at Caldwell in this state.
In its issue of September 10, 1912, In an
editorial that paper took occasion to
say of Senator Borah among other
things, this:
Under the circums .ances, no Re-
publican need feel any obligation to
give Mr.. Borah his support. In fact, a
Republican is in duty bound to do Just
the opposite. Senator Borah should
come out flat-footed for President
Taft or else get off the Republican
ticket"
What say you, my friends. can the
Republican party be reformed from
within? Does not all the evidence
point to the conclusion that crooked
big business and special privilege
which absolutely control that party do
intend that the party shall be so re-
formed? The national committee stole
the presidential nomination this year by
DISTINGUISHING the state of Washing
ton, the state of Arizona, a large part
Of the state Of Texas and q part Of tho
state of California. 1t stole the seats
Of IS honestly elected delegates to the
national convention. What is there to
prevent that committee from stealing
twice or three times that number of
delegates In the convention Of 1915?
A friend Of mine said to me the other
day that we would have presidential
preference primaries in 1916 and that
the national committee could not then
steal the nomination. He Is deluding
himself with false hope for two rea-
sons:
First, the Republican party stands
pledged against such primaries; sec
ond. California had a presidential pri-
mary this year and Mr.. Taft who en-
tered those primaries signed a written
agreement and filed It with the secre-
tary of state Of California, agreeing
to abide by the result OF such pn-
maries. The Roosevelt delegates OBJ
tanned a majority In the state Of about
1900 but the national committee, the
invisible government. seated two del
egates from California to beat Roose-
welt and notwithstanding the Cali
fornia primaries and notwithstanding
Taft's agreement TO abide thereby. they
stole them. My friends. do You expect
the Republican national committee to
be more honest in 1915 than 1t was in
1912? Do you expect reformation Of
that party in the face Of the conditions
as they exist today?

For many years Senator Hepburn
