REGRET" IDEA NOT NEW.
Former Colombian Statesman Says
Taft Treaty Contained It.

senor A. Villegas Restrepo. a former
deputy from the department Of Cundina-
marca, Colombia, now living in New York
city, in statement just issued. asserts
that the criticism of "a portion of the
press" Of the United States directed
against the expressions Of regret con-
tained in the treaty just negotiated be-
tween this country and Colombia is un-
founded. Senor Restrepo declares that
the memorandum presented to the gov-
ernment of Colombia by James T. Du
Bois, minister to that country during the
Taft administration, opened with the fol-
lowing paragraph:
1.-THE government and the people of the
United States sincerely regret the occur
renee of events that in any manner may
have changed the. long apdt sincere
friendship which EXISTED for almost a
century between Colombia and the Cnited
States" -.

cludes:

SENATE TO PROBE CHARGES.
Alleged Discrimination in Coal Ship

The Senate committee on naval affairs
has authorized Senator Tillman. chair
man Of the committee. to report favor
ably to the Senate a resolution providing
for an investigation of freight rates
charged upon coal shipped to south At
iantic ports for the use of the navy.
This action was taken following a hear

viously charged that the directorate OF
the Southern railway was being used by
the so-called "coal trust for the pur-
pose of discriminating against south
Atlantic states in the matter Of coal
freight rates. so that only trust coat
could be used there.

will also bring to light the situation re-

TO BUILD A RAILROAD !:
TO COPE WITH FLOOD
Break in Colorado River Threatens
to Ruin Vast Tracts of
Rich Land.

Preparations are being made today 10y
the Secretary of the Interior to push
railroad twenty-five miles south from
Yuma, Ariz.. to aid Engineer Marshall in
fighting the break in the banks of the
Colorado river reported from the Mexi-
can side of the international boundary
yesterday.
The Importance of the break in the
Colorado does not appeal to the people
as whole. but it is very great because
IT involves thousands of acres of the
richest lands in southern California
The present break in the bank of the
river is on the Mexican side but the wa
ter of the river is rushing north and
running some of the most valuable land
In the United States. The Interior De-
partment has announced that the break
must be closed. irrespective of whose
land it Is on Whether this involves in
ternational complications has not vet
been figured out. Possibly It will not be-
cause Mexico herself is vitally interested
in the situation. She has 5000 acres Of
iand under irrigation in the country
where the break has occurred, and all OF
this VIII be ruined IL the river is not re-
turned to its channel
oe1oW Level OF Sea.
Inc situation In southern California Is
peculiar. because nearly all of the most
valuable fruit land there lies below sea
| level. and IS at the mercy of the Colorado
II it once gets on a rampage in flood time.
There are about 800. 900 acres of land un-
der irrigation from a canal that will be
left absolutely dry unless the present
break is closed. When a break occurred
NJ he A.
eral years ago. and the Southern Pacific
| railroad spent $o.O00O0O In closing II, the
Colorado had secured channel so feet
deep and 1900 feet wide. leaving much of
the most valuable land in the Imperial
valley of California absolutely without
| water.
The same thing is threatened by the
present break, but on a more extensive
scale. The land involved is worth any,
| where from $500 to $500 an acre, accord
\ ing to its state of cultivation. and there
| is considerably over quarter of a mil
lion of acres involved on the United
States side of the boundary.
Peril When Flood Subsidies.
| The most dangerous stage of the Colo
RADIO river and flood always comes when
| the river begins to subside. This is when
it undermines and breaks its banks. The
railroad which is being pushed to En-
gineer Marshall's assistance runs from
the volcanic stone quarries to the sec
| tion of the river adjacent to the Mexican
border. .-=
| Here there is no stone, and the only
way of protecting the river banks is by
sinking mats of brush sixty feet square
and weighted with stones against the
| points threatened. This is expensive
work, but will have to be carried for
| ward on both sides of the international
divide, in order to save thousands OF
farms that otherwise will be ruined with
! in the next few months.

FISCAL YEAR OF ADMINISTRATION
 WILL CLOSE TODAY
Receipts Through Saturday $64 ,505, ,007.23, as Against $699,OS4 ,417.60 Last
 Fiscal Year

l Washington, June 29.-Tomorrow marks the close of the first full fiscal year un- der the democratic administration. Fig ures made public today showed that ur to and including last Saturday, the gov ernment's receipts had been $694, ,5O5, GOT. .2S, as against s699, ,0S4, 41760 for the correspond ing period of the last fiscal year.
 Today and tomorrow will add heavy re- ceipts especially in corporation and in- come tax assessments, which are delayed until the last moment Receipts for cor poration and income taxes aggregated s6.- 627,566.24 Saturday, making the total coll lections from those sources for the year up to that date $S2, 2S5, 6S6S7 The treas ury department estimate of the amount to be derived from taxes is $75,000,000 and if the experience of last year is repeated the final day for payment will bring in half the total assessments.
 Futures including Saturdays receipts show the amount of money collected from customs as $29oSs1. .65 against s316, S3S.- 572.03 last year for the corresponding period The internal revenue collections from ordinary sources so far this year aggregate s3o6, 267,126s7 compared with $303 56O, 624.9S for the preceding year From miscellaneous sources the receipts were S57 PIC, ,20742 against s60,651 5SS.54 for last year.
 The estimate of Secretary McAdoo of the receipts for this fiscal year. made in his annual report last year, was S733, 900, = GOO. Delay in the payment of income tax doubtless will make 1t impossible to obtain a definite figure on the govern ments income for sometime. The total assessment returned on personal income tax is $30 750, GOO or $23. 250 GOO less than MT. McAdoo expected to derive from that source. While all these assessments prob ably will be paid promptly there will be some delay in prosecuting the tax dodgers from whom MT. McAdoo expects to col feet enough to make up the difference between his estimate and returns made by taxpayers.
