WILSON RAPS IOBBIES'
DENOUNCES MEN WHO SEEK TAR
IFF BILL ALTERATIONS.
President Says All Branches of Gov
ernment Should Be Relieved OF
IntoIerable Burden.

Washington. May 2S.-Lobbyists in
general and particularly those who
are trying to create an appearance
of pressure OF public opinion antag.
onistic to some of the items of the
tariff bill, were s%cathingly denounced
Monday by President Wilson.
The president issued the following
statement:
II think that the public ought to
know the extraordinary exertion be-
ing made by the lobby in Washington
to gain recognition for certain alter
atoms of the tariff bill. Washington
seldom has seen SO numerous, so in
dustrious or 80 insidious a lobby. The
newspapers are being filled with paid
advertisements calculated to mislead
the Judgment of public men, but also
the public opinion of the country it.
self.
There Is every evidence that
money without limit is being spent
to sustain this lobby and to create
an appearance of a pressure of public
opinion ~antagonistic to some of the
chief items of the tariff bill. 1t is
of serious interest to the country that
the people at large have no lobby, and
be voiceless in these matters while
great bodies of astute men seek to
create an artificial opinion and over
come the interest of the public for
their private property. 1t is worth
the while of the people of this coun-
try to take knowledge Of this matter.
The government in all its branches
ought ia be relieved from this intoler-
able burden, and this constant in
teruption to the calm progress Of de-
bate l know that in this l am speak
ing for the members of the two
houses. who would rejoice as much as
I would to be released from this I'M
bearable situation"

line of the proposed irrigation plan to
take water from the headwaters of the
South Fork of Cheyenne river and

lngto counties. After a week spent
IN the field on merely preliminary
work. he has found that there will be
a number of important engineering
problems In the work to carry the
main ditch through the extremely
rough portions of the Bad Lands,
which 1t must traverse to get the wa
ter out onto the prairie. 1t will be
hard to avoid a lot of tunneling, which
will make h project an expensive
one. The rough estimate on the pro
ject is between $4,000, 900 and s6,OOo,-
600 to get the water to approximately
100000 acres of land, or something
near $50 an acre. with close survey
standing to change these figures ma.
terially on final showing. The field
force of the department will put in a
good part of the summer on surveys
of this plan, and settle very near just
what the real cost will be before they
quit this fall.

TURKISH CAPITAL
 SCENE OF HORRORS
Resumption of Fighting in Balkan States Brings Renewal of For mer Bad COnditiOnS-iOS-
 pital in Good Shape.

Constantinople, Feb. l6.-The re- newal of fighting along the Tcha- taldia lines and at Adrianople brings again to Constantinople the long lines of wounded men, some in filters, others walking stoically by themselves, still others supported by hospital stewards or their own cOmpaniOnS-in-a The situation, however, for these unfortunateS will have to be improved in some way, for today the Constantinople hos pitals are better equipped to care for the wounded.
 Two months have passed since the fighting was discontinued to give diplomacy a chance to make peace in London, and these weeks have been utilized to make prepara- tions of many kinds. The pOssibili- ty of further fighting has never been lost sight of, and chief among the eventualities provided for has been the care of the wounded and sick. Many of the wounded who were in the city hospitals when the armistice was declared have re- covered and been discharged to re- turn again to the firing line. The hospitals at the front have been cleared of all cases that could be moved to make room for new cases, and in ConstantinOple there have been established a number of in ffrmaries for the housing of con- valescents.
 The December horrors of the cholera camp at San Stefano are now happily a thing of the past. The noble and self-sacrificing work done here by devoted women and self-sacrificing men for the suffer ing Turkish soldiers brought not only alleviation at the time when the situation in the camp was at it's worst but it has resulted in the establishment of better sanitary and general conditions at the camp. so that if the dread visitor cholera again makes it's appearance among the Turkish soldiers at the front. place of refuge will be open for the stricken.
