the secretary of the interior is
authorized, etc. -
And to further emphasize this
idea, by an amendment to that act
passed June II. 1896, it was pro-
vided, that lien, or liens is here
by authorized to be created by the
state to which such lands are grant
ed and by no other authority what
ever, etc. -
think this preamble and by the
terms Of this amendment,it it is man.
lfest that the intention of congress
was that the states should reclaim
these lands and not through pro-
motion schemes as has been done.
And ! doubt if the liens created
by the individual entrymen to Sc
cure the water right contract are
valid, since congress made it so
plain that the state only, and by no
other authority, could create lien.
1t is no doubt true that if the
entrynlan goes on and proves up
and the state secures the patent to
the land and patents it to the entry
man, that then the courts might
hold the lien good and foreclose the
same upon the same principle that
The courts generally hold liens Gre
ated upon a government homestead
before final proof, are good against
the homesteader, provided he per-
fects his title by making final proof,
but otherwise they are not valid
against the government or against
any other entryman.
1t Is hobby of mine that has
developed in my mind through the
past four years Of experience and
careful study and thought that the
state might do this reclaiming along
lines similar to the L. :. Govern
ment Reclamation service. But
= some will say that there is great
b deal Of complaint against the Recla-
nation service. That Is true. but
l one Thing Is true at least, Director
Newell makes the assertion, that
e Uncle Sam has never promoted a
] project that has not had plenty of
water
But there Is lots Of just complaint
and perhaps the Reclamation serv-
ice i not wholly at fault. They
work at long range, from Washing
ton 10 most of the Reclamation pro-
jects l. a great many miles. The
D states could work right at home.
The men in charge would have ex-
e perience in the particular work and
locality, would he fully conversant
with all the conditions, and their
, chances Of success would be many
times greater than that of the
Reclamation Service. | might &C

FLYER UPSETS
TRADITIONS Of
STA|D ACADEMY
Savants TrembIe at Demand for
Admission of Aviator, Play
wright and Woman.
snselaI Gable to The American.

PARIS, Nov. S.-The French
Academy is living in fear and trem-
bling. Founded by Richelieu, pro-
tected by Louis XIV, it ia necessarily
most conservative body and jeal-
GUS of it's privileges.
Now fourfold innovation threat
ems 1t. First of all, an airman seeks
membership. Brinjoin des Moulinais
is q distinguished aviator, and he
does not see why he should not be a
member of the Academy. The stat
utes state the Academy Is open to
all men of France who have achieved
great distinction in any walk of life.
But they have never been interpreted
in this liberal sense. Balzac, Frances
greatest novelist, was refused admit
lance.
The second innovation comes from
Jean Richepin, the distinguished
dramatist. At the annual meeting Of
all the academicians Richepin dis
Coursed on the word tango" Bellies
lettres, science economy, history and
arts all were represented. It was
under the first head that Richepin
treated tango. He traced its ancient
origin and showed how it is the pa
rent OIL ldilldSllC movement. I1t anu
Madame Richepin have written a play
called Tango" which viii soon be
brought out at the Marigny Theater.
Woman Seeks Admission.
Another attempted Academy inno-
walton is that of the election of a
woman, a very distinguished woman
and a poet, the Countess Matthew de
NoailIes,
Her work is compared with that of
Alfred de Musset and Andre de Che
nier
The Academicians have a twofold
objection to her. The first is that she
is a woman. Secondly, the Count
ess Identifies herself with Nature and
The universe and is a Pantheist
The fourth innovation is an ex-
pected communication from DR.. w. j.
Mayo Away out in Minnesota are
TWO surgeons, Doctors Mayo, whose
fame has spread to that most con-
sentative organization, the French
Academy AS a result, DIR. w. j. Mayo
was elected a foreign member of the
French Institute or Academy of Med
ieine.
Other Americans Hcnored.
The Academicians could scarcely
believe their ears when they learned
that DR.. Mayo is the son of physi-
clan who settled in Minnesota when
Indians were on the warpath, and
that he had never studied in any of
the renowned centers of medical
science like Paris, Berlin or Vienna.
Besides DR.. Mayo, only two other
Americans have been elected to cor
responding membership in the French
Institute. One of these was Benja-
min Franklin The other was Count
Rumford, or plain Benjamin Thomp-
son. born in Rumford, Mass.

LONDON SOCIAL
DICTATOR IS To
Be SH0PKEEPER
Mrs. 'Hoofer' Williams, to Whom
Americans Bring Hard Luck,
Is Going to Montreal.
Special Gable to The American.

LONDON, Nov, S.--A profound
sensation felt by the smart London
set results from the announced in
tention of Mrs. Hwfa Williams, whose
curious Welsh Christian name is pro-
nounced "Hoofer," to leave England
forever. This remark ble woman,
who has tremendous social genius,
threatens to go to Montreal and open
a decorating shop.
For a long time Mrs. Williams
financial agonies have been matters
of public gossip She furnished a fine
house in Ovington Square, but the
undertaking proved too great bur
den. However, nothing has interfered
with her popularity and her unique
position upholds IN spite of her va
rtous efforts to turn an honest penny.
King Edward considered this Welsh
woman one of the most interesting
in London.
She is middle aged, a trifie deaf
and not beautiful but she goes about
with a retinue of young men in her
train, and is arbiter of what is, and
what is not, smart Such a career
proves expensive and the family for
tune was unequal to meet the require
ments.
Her daughter, Gwenfra Williams,
is well known in New York, where
she has been the guest of Mrs. GUM
ness. When asked why she did not
go to New York to open shop, Mrs.
Williams replied. "All the Americans
have proven unlucky to me-"

COELET SDUCAL
BABY CAUSE Of
FEUD IN FAMILY
Mrs. Higgins, Rival Grandmother,
Greatly Disappointed at the
Birth of Roxburghe Heir.
Special Gable to The American.


LONDON, Nov. S-"Don't mention
the RoXburghe affair to Mrs. Harry
Higgins" was the strange warning
which Mrs. Edmund /. Baylies re-
ceived early in the week when She
returned to the Ritz Hotel from Scot
land. So far no one has been cour-
ageous enough to discuss with the
ambitious mother of Lady Alistair
lnnes- Ker, the Duchess Of Rox-
bughe's baby, which supplants Mrs.
Higgins grandsons.
Lady Alistair, who was the former
Miss Breese, Of New York, remains
ed title, but Mrs. Higgins refused to
go to the christening and swallows
the bitter pill in silence. Meanwhile
London society smiles at the griev-
ances of the clever American woman
who married her daughters so ad-
vantageously and now takes so much
to heart the upset OF her plans
AT one meeting in the Ritz restau-
rant a scene which might have been
worthy of Thackeray's pen in de-
scription was the meeting of the ag-
grieved Mrs. Higgins and Mrs. Ogden
Goelet, grandmother of the trium-
phant Roxburghe baby A careful
:old nod was exchanged, and then
Mrs. Baylies was told how fearful 10
be when mentioning the news of the
baby to Mrs. Higgins.
Some say Mrs. Higgins never viii
recover entirely from that disappo'nt-
ment that none of her progeny viii
inherit ducal honors.

Italian Composer Declares Work
Clinking bag of Nails"
SaIome's Theme Is Vile.
Cable to The American.

Special Gable to The American,
PARIS Nov. S.-Leoncavano. the
distinguished Italian composer. in an
Interview with the correspondent OF
The Sunday American, gave voice to
some decided opinions on the various
so-called schools" Of music and their
influence.
why should anybody to-day be
compelled to express himself only in
terms of Wagner" the Italian de-
manded. The attempt to force Ital-
ian genius, for instance. through the
Wagnerian sieve must inevitably fail
it squeezes out all .he Juice. spoils
the sieve, and leaves but a squashed
and gruesome mess!
Pagliacci is a clean and noble
theme compared with fSalome.' which
is dirt. AS to the methods and ef-
fects of Strauss. the purport of his
music is to distinguish voices in the
din Of a passing crowd. But you
might as well put q lot OF nails in
bag, clink them. and try 70 distin-
guish the special clink of a given
nail
I'VE poor. benighted Italians knew
nothing of these things! AS If all Of
us are ignorant of Bash and eBetho-
ven Of Berlioz and Wagner himself.
The pretention is Crotesque. i is pre-.
cisely because we are acquainted-as
fully, perhaps, as Strauss himself
with everything that these masters
have achieved that we reject the bag
Of nails!
DISTINCTION OF theme. simplicity OF
expression, nobility of melody and
harmony are not incompatible with
the profoundest knowledge and the
most original instrumental scoring"

Kaiser and Nobility
Wage War on Tango
German Dancing Masters Attempt In
Vain to Introduce Step
at Court.
Special Gable to The American.


BERLIN, Nov. S.-Yielding to the
popular craze for new dances, the
Berlin Dancing Masters Association
is making a valiant effort to intro
duce the tango to German aristo-
cratic circles.
Under the stringent rules of the
imperial court all modern round
dances are rigidly forbidden. Royal
Chamberlains prescribe in detail the
dances for the court set. At Of
fetal balls at the Castle the sedate
gliding walk is interrupted only by
the dignitied leisurely pirouette.
Those who try to indulge In a real
waltz are promptly called to account.
Both the Kaiser and Kaiserin are
exceedingly opposed TO the introduc-
ton of what they regard as the vul-
gar romping dances of the period,
AS the aristocTatic set takes its cue
from court, not only the tango,
but the waltz and two-step have
been under the ban.

she is still awaiting trial for an act

AT % years Miss Lillian has a pretty
good record for trick work She has
escaped as a boy from a Swallowed
house in Leeds. She has engaged in
hand-to- hand encounters with the
police. She has "hungerstruck" with
success and eluded capture for four
months.
The upshot OF it all was that the
magistrate recommended her for a

and couldn't refrain from saying how
much 1t distressed him to see such a
lovely creature-a compliment not
often paid to suffragettes-sh be
so misguided as to join a criminal

Record for Activity-Wife
Charms Court Circles.
Special Gable to The American.


BERLIN, Nov. 8.--Was the presen-
tation at court in civilian clothes of
James W. Gerard, new United States
Ambassador to Germany, the result Of
orders from America?
Does this mean that President VIII
sons sartorial policy will continue to
put the burden of proof upon Am
bassadors who, in their crow-like
evening dress. have had difficulty in
avoiding being mistaken for walters
at court functions where foreign dip
lomats endeavor to surpass each other
in elegance of dress and brilliance Of
decoration?
The face remains that, despite the
Kaiser's love for display, the Ameri-
can envoy and his two secretaries
were presented to the War Lord in
conventional black" The assistants
inherited handsome gold braided uni.
forms from the Leishman regime, but
they will continue to remain with the
moth balls while social prophets spec
ulate if this action, which they pro-
fess to take as sign of mere dollar
diplomacy, will result in another mix
up, such as that marking the wind
up of former Ambassador Leishman's
term.
Wife Proves Captivating.
While court etiquette experts puz-
Zle, the new Ambassadors wife, who
was the daughter OF Marcus DAILY, the
copper king, continues to captivate
members of the exclusive court circles
and visiting Americans, and the AM
bassador sets new records for strenu-
ousity His leading exhibition of ac-
tiVlty came when he participated In
his official reception at the Kaser's
Castle at noon, hurried back to his
hotel to change from evening dress
into citizens clothes for the bi-month-
ly meeting of the American Luncheon
Club at the Adlon, then went to the
Johannisthal Aerodrome with party
of friends to see Pegoud, the topsy-
turvey Frenchman, giving a flying ex-
hibition.
Arrangements practically have been
completed by the new envoy for the

1t is expected that the repair work
will be completed by Christmas so
that the New Years reception TO the
