TILLMAN FOES
PLAN FIGHT

Movement To Hold Up Senior Sena-
tors Re-EleCtion-Cours Urged
10y Senator Young, of Union, Who
DenounCes Charges OF Railroad
Domination of GeleraI Assembly.
Columbia, Jan. 27.-"Our self
respect demands that we postpone
voting for B. r. Tillman for United
States senator until he has had time
to either prove or retract his charg-
es that the railroads dominate the
general assembly," said Senator
Young tonight, in denouncing the
Tillman charge and speaking in IA
vor of immediate passage of the
Rembert resolution calling on the
senator to furnish proof of his
charges.
This resolution caused a hot de-
bate in the senate and Senator
Young made a vigorous speech, in
which he scored the charges of Till
man as outrageous. Consideration
OF the resolution was finally post
poned until tomorrow, on objection
of Senator Carlisle to it's immediate
consideration
When Senator Young said that he
favored voting for local men to-
morrow when the ballot for United
States senator is taken, in order to
postpone the election of Senator
Tillman until he has had time to
make good his charges or retract
them, he verified what has been
known by good many for some
time, that an effort was on foot to
show the resentment of the general
assembly to Senator TilImap's
charges in such a way as would be
felt, and TO postpone re-electing him
until the charges have been thor
oughly sifted
For the past several days there
have been certain ones feeling out
the sentiment against Senator Till
man and many favor the opinion ex-
pressed by Senator Young. The
adoption of the Rembert resolution
by the House famed the spark of
resentment into vigorous flames.
Senator Weston replied in strong
terms to the charge of Senator Till
man and called for concurrence in
the House resolution.
Tomorrow is the day to ballot for
United States senator, and a fight to
postpone electing Senator Tillman
may be renewed in the Senate to-
morrow morning Crowded galleries
listened TO the senate's debate on
the Rembert resolution tonight.

petition that is being circulated in
Lancaster has been sent here to Mr..
M. S. Lewis with request that he
have the same circulated. The let

out the many inconvenience occa-
stoned by reason of the fact that the
trains in both directions are close

ensue from having so many trains.

afternoon on his way to Holtville, where
he is to have conference with the
directors Of Water Company No. ) this

conditions on which water can be sup

alt is proposed that No. increase its

of its territory to take in all the lands
of the railroad, issuing stock therefor.
The syndicate is anxious to have this
matter settled at once, so it can con-
summate its purchase and place the

be no doubt that the two interests will
get together and the great work OF
extending the irrigation system be con-
Summated at once.
There is nothing but this in the way
of getting all the land in the north end
under irrigation before the end Of the

MORE HOPEFUL NEWS

CHICAGO, March 29.-Cheering
news come from all parts Of the flood
region in Ohio and Indiana. The sun

warmth dispelled much Of the gloom
that for nearly week had depressed
hundreds of thousands in the valleys
of the middle states. The machinery
are being fed. the homeless are being
sheltered and, best Of all, the death
rolls are dWindling. The total may
not be more than 1000 in both Ohio
and Indiana.
The death toll promises to be much
less heavy at Columbus than the first
reports from the western part Of that
city indicated.
In Piqua, where more than 500 per-
sons were reported to have been
drowned, less than twenty comprise
the total number Of dead, according to

day. Recovered bodies We're four men,
four women and two children. Most
Of the city is now above water. Mi

In Chillicothe, where the number of

exceed twenty-five.

Si5 100000 to S20,000,O00.

NO ROW IN DIRECTORATE
Of IRRIGATION DISTRICT

An article in the current issue of
the Brawley News, in which there is
embraced an interview with Director
Earl G.. Pound Of the irrigation district,
carries the impression that there is a
row on between members of the board.
President Walter o. Hamilton Of the
board said today that so far as he is
concerned, he knows Of no row or any
personal feeling over the problems that
have been presented. He thinks men
can disagree in matters Of opinion, but
the whole valley has common interest
in the district, and he simply intends
to work for what he believes to be
the wishes of the people in the district.
A few days since Engineer Anderson
of the district was sent to Los Angeles
to get data. and while there he met

0 sufficient sum of money to aid the
good cause along. The offer OF the
Southern Pacific Company to transport
articles for the victims OF the Hood free
of charge is a big help to those who
would give.
II is probable that at some of the
churches tomorrow offerings will be
taken to help the work along, and prob
ably this will result in fund to be
sent at once.
No direct canvass has been arranged
for to raise money, and this may yet
be done Meanwhile those desiring to
