IRRIGATION FARMERS
EXPLAIN THEIR NEEDS

Washington, May 2.-More than
$50 representatives of water users
associations in the irrigated regions
of the west, senators and representa-.
tives and officials Of the reclamation
service and the interior department
we've present today at the second ses.
sion of the conference on irrigation
called by Secretary Lane.
The session was given up to infor-
NAL talks by the representatives Of
the water users, who spoke Of the
various problems which the farmers
in the irrigation regions are called
upon to solve. fhe laws governing
the use of water, payment for water
rights, payment for homesteads and
similar laws, as well as the regula-
lions established by the interior de-
partment and the reclamation service
on government irrigation projects
were gone over and many suggestions
for amendments to existing laws, new
legislation and notifications Of regu.
lations were made.
The conferees have devoted their
time, thus far, to a discussion OF
the Salt river project in Arizona
which Includes the Roosevelt dam.
It became evident today that the diff
ferences between the water users
and the government officials were
largely based upon misunderstanding
and that the improvements in the
project which materially increased
its cost were approved by the water
users.
Objection was made to the high
cost OF power, particularly that fur
nished to small manufacturers. II
was urged that all contracts ought
to be submitted to the board OF gov
ernors OF the water users association
before they were passed finally b!
| the government.

LOCUST SEED REMOVED
AFTER EIGHTEEN YEARS
Seed Lodged in Ear Of Frank Crafts
Taken Out by Surgical
Operation

Salt Lake City, May 3.-FTank
Crafts, of Cottonwood, underwent
most peculiar operation yesterday In
the office OF DR.. J. C. Robson In
the Walker bank building. For Is
years Mr.. Crafts has been enjoying
life while a black locust seed was
lodged firmly In one of his ears. He
placed the seed in the ear when a
mere schoolboy almost score of
years ago, He thought nothing Of
it at the time, as there was no pain
in connection with II then. Years
passed and Mr.. Crafts began to feel
pains in that ear. He then recolle,r,
ed the time when he put the seed
in the number, Accordingly he con
suited DR.. Robson and asked II any
thing could be done to relieve the
pain. The result was that Mr.. Graf
returned home yesterday minus one
locust seed.

third OF an inch In length. was lodg

MRS GAIT SPEAKS At A
MEETING OF LONDON MILITANT
British Government Denounced In
Scathing Language by
Suffragets.

London May AT an Actresses
Franchise league meeting tonight in
Drury Lane theatre Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Gait of New York president OF
the International Woman Suffrage
! Alliance delivered the first speech
she has made since her arrival in
England. Mrs. Gait said that in the
three days she had been in London
which she had devoted to attending
suffraget meetings she had heard
more complaints against the British
government than she had heard
against the American government in
her whole life. And Mrs. Gait heard
many more complaints at tonight s
meeting, for every speaker denounced
the British government. Resolutions
strongly condeming the government
for not bringing in bill enfranchis-
ing women were adopted with en-
thusiasm.
The denunciation of the ministry
by the actresses was mild, however
compared with the abuse heaped up
on 1t by speakers at an Indignation
meeting of the Women's Freedmen's
league in Caxton hall. A few phrases
culled from the speech of Miss Nina
Boyle, militant suffraget, will
serve as samples. She said the gov
eminent was composed Of ''cads and
cowards," and that the ministers were
"a disgrace to the name of Britishers'
Miss Boyle called for militant volunt
teers and limited at an outbreak Of
militancy that had been planned that
will show this government what a
pitiful opinion we have of It."
Militant Leaders Arraioneo
Bow Street court was crowded this
morning when band Of six militant
suffragets who we're arrested in the

chemist taken into custody last night

printer OF yesterdays issue OF the SUI
fraget, who was arrested this morn

ance, pain and some trouble but for
the greater part of the time the pres
ence of the seed was forgotten. On
examination Dr.. Robson found the
seed was pressing against the lower
portion of the drum of the ear and
was partially imbedded in the SOL
issue of the external canal. The only
difficult thing connected with the op
Grafton was the task of loosening the
seed from its bod. After that 1t was
easily syringed out. A little harm

One peculiar feature Of the affair
was that the seed today Is just as

possibly be, although this particular
seed had become q part Of the flesh
