mon rush potatoes from Canada, New
oundlan Great Britain. Ireland and
continental Europe shall be barred
from the United States because of the
danger OF importation of dangerous
plant diseases. or shall be admitted
under the same restrictions as apply to

hearing before the federal horticultural
hoard at the direction of Secretary
Houston.
T. P. Gill. secretary Of agriculture
for Ireland: DR.. H. T. Gussow, an expert
Of the Canadian department of agri-
culture, and G. r. O'Halloran, deputy
minister of agriculture of Canada, were
among those whto spoke in favor of the
admission Of foreign potatoes.
Representations have been made to
the American department Of agricul-
ture that in view Of the short domestic
potato crop caused by last summers
drought the exclusion OF foreign no
tatoes would go far toward raising
prices in the United States.
At the outset Secretary Houston
said the question under consideration
was not the lifting of embargo against
diseased potatoes, but whether a quar-
antine shoaid be absolute or, admin

dent and the usual official receptions.
The New Years reception will not
be held this year AS the president Is
going away for the Christmas holi-
days. There is a possibility that the
diplomatic reception. set for january
S, may be delayed a few days to give
the president a longer rest in a south
crn climate.

rency bill in the Senate. with prospects
of its being brought to tho president

have made Mr.. Wilson's plans for a va
cation moro definite. He will leave
Washington Immediately after signing
the bill n will be away for at least
two weeks and possibly three. 1t has
not yet been announced to what place
the president will go. but tho selection
Is said to nav narrowed down to some
point on the Mississippi coast or Ashe-

PRESIDENT SIGNS
WATER GRANT ACT

Washington. Dec. 20.-President Will
son today signed the Hetch Hetchy
bill granting a public water supply to
San Francisco. He accompanied his
signature with a statement declaring
that he believed that the public needs
Of the region concerned were served by
the bill without impairing the useful
ness of the public domain.
81 have signed this bill because It
seemed to serve the pressing public
needs of the region concerned better
than they could be served in any other
way, and yet did not impair the use
fitness or materially detract from the
beauty of the public domain.
1.-The bill was opposed by so many
public spirited men, thoughtful of the
interests of the people and of fine con-
science in every matter of public con-
Germ that L have naturally sought to
scrutinize 1t very closely. / take the
liberty of thinking that their fears and
objections were not we'll founded. I
believe the bill to be, on the whole,
in the public interest, and 1 am the
less uncertain in that judgment because
I find it concurreG in by men whose
best energies have been devoted to
conservation and the safeguarding Of
the peoples interests. and many of
whom have beside had a long expert
ence in the public service which a
maze them ClTCuI0SpeCt IN forming an

The presidents signature ends San
Francisco's long fight for a city water
supply site in the valley of the Tue
lumme river in the northwestern part
OF the Yosemite National park. San
Francisco already ownSa q. large mou
of land in the Hetch Hetchy valley,
and under the new law may erect q

may construct conduits ana buildings
and construct a plant for the incidental
production of water power to supply
the city. 1t is expected that at least
10 years will be required to complete
the work and carrying the water
through the l50-mile conduits to San
Francisco. Settlers on irrigated lands
in the San Joaquin valley who get
water from the Tuolumme river, will be
permitted under the new law to AXE
electric power from the San Francisco
plant at cost.

FAULTY PLANS CAUSE
Of CONCRETE WRECK
Expert Engineer Cri.icises Use
Of Tile and Concrete in
Combination.

Cedar Rapids. Ia. Dec. 2o.-That the
collapse OF the Lyman building in this
city on November IL, which resulted In
the death of seven mea, was not due
to faulty Or Insufficient false work, but
rather to the building design is the
opinion rendered in a report made to
the Master Builders association of Iowa
by c. a. P. Turner of Minneapolis.
In his report, which is somewhat
lengthy, he states that numerous ac-
cidents Of a similar nature and loss of
life have occurred in buildings where
the concrete and tile method Of con-
ptruction was used. In the Lyman
building tho floors We're of building
tile laid in rows about four inches
apart. with the spaces between filled
with concrete and about two inches OF
concrete on top Of the tile. Mr.. Turn
~ contends that this method Of con-
struction makes a floor that Is incap-
able Of sustaining q sudden shock.
He also criticises the manner in
which the columns on the upper floors
were constructed. and gives 1t as his
opinion that the collapse was caused
by the giving away Of n OF these
columns on tho fifth floor. He states
that h use OF cold water in mixing
concrete while the average temperature
was SO degrees was also a mistake, and
critscises the experimenting engineer
for not ~instructing the contractor In this
connection.
