CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE
TO VISIT LAAONTAN PROJECT
ON TOUR TO LEARN NEEDS OF
RECLAMATION PROJECTS.
Opportunity VIII be Afforded Farm
ers to Discuss improvements
Necessary to Complete Work.

It has been announced that the
Truckee-Carson project is about TO
be visited on June 10th next by the
House committe on appropriations,
of which Congressman Fitzgerald of
New York is the chair man. The
committee is on a tour of all the
western reclamation projects and
their itinerary will include projects
in all the western states. The object
of their visit is to acquire at first
hand working knowledge of the
needs of the people who have
acquired holdings under the govern
ment's work in reclamation, the bet
ter to intelligently provide the
funds necessary to carry out the
plans to a successful conclusion.
Since the appropriations for i'm
proyements on the various reclama-
tion projects no longer come through
the secretary of the interior, but are
made direct by congress, it behooves
all who are dependent upon the
bounty of the government in recla-
nation work to present their needs
direct to the committe which is all
powerful in providing the funds.
This does not necessarily imply that
we should come as mendicants, ask
ing a dole of charity, but an at
tempt should be made to present
the actual needs of the settlers of
this valley for financial assistance
to carry out the intentions of the
government as expressed when it
undertook to place the water on the
lands and thereby induced settlers
to cast their lot here, secure in the
conviction that the government
would certainly carry out its prom
ises, real or implied.
AS the time that can be devoted
to this particular project will be
necessarily brief at best, it is to be
hoped that plans will be prepared
in advance to the end that the best
showing possible will be made of our
needs, freed from any criticisms of
Mistakes in the past and confined
strictly to needs of the future that
experience has demonstrated to be
most urgent.
It is more than likely that Sena-
tors Newlands and Pittman and Con-
gressman Roberts will accompany
the committee over the project and 1t
is advisable that every provision pos
sible be made in advance of their
coming, to the end that the party
will leave with a comprehensive idea
of the needs of the Truckee-Carson
project.
As at present outlined the COM
mittee will reach Hazen at 10 a. m,
Wednesday, June 10th. Project
Manager Cole will conduct them at
once by auto to the Lahontan reser-
voir where a luncheon will probably
not be amiss. following which they
should be afforded an opportunity to
see as much of the reclaimed area
as possible during their brief stay.
1t is to be hoped that the Water
Users association will make the
most of the opportunity of present
ing their side of the question, as
seen from the practical standpoint of
the man who is on the ground and

Liverpool, May 1.-THE Lusitania
left New York last Saturday bound
for Liverpool and was due to arrive
there yesterday. Just before the
departure of the steamer a number
of the passengers received messages,
signed by parties unknown to them,
warning them that the vessel was to
be torpedoed, but no one paid at
iention to the warning. Alfred
Vanderbilt upon reading the mes
sage destroyed it without comment.
Many prominent Americans were
included in the list of passengers of
the Lusitania, among them being
Alfred Vanderbilt, Charles Klein,
Ebert Hubbard and Charles Froh-
man.

that qualifying circumstances be
considered because the Lusitania
was a belligerent vessel; he consid-
cred the attack on the Gulfight a
much more serious offense against
neutral rights. A special session of
congress is being discussed, but
nothing official is given out.

ship last year, when Williams as- founded tte tennis world by whipping him for the honors, as he did yester- day, he would never have been hum blcd. Experts declare that there nev- CT has been a match like 1t between the champion and runner-up which resulted yesterday. No important match probably has been played un- der worse conditions of weather and turf 1t drizzled all afternoon and the courts were in bad shape. In spite of this fact the two greatest tennis play CTS in the country battled for an hour and d half.
 The spectators were not disa ppoint- ed when the match closed because 1t
 was replete with thrills from the
 opening until the closing act. So bad
 at times were conditions that the
 blacked ball when it came in contact
 with the net would cause a spray to
 be sent forth which when the players
 were playing close caused them some
 trouble.
 The Harvard players was nervous
 throughout overlooking the fact that
 the court was soft and slippery, and
 thus many points he dropped were due
 to that fact. Mclaughlin was steady
 at all time, which had more to do
 with his victory than anything else.
 He abandoned his dasnlng net-assa ult
 ing game entirely ana scrambled af
 ter the ball. In doing this he dis played varied repertoire of strokes larger than his opponent.
 Williams presented a straight fast
 ball and rarely volleyed. Mclaughlin served every kind of twist known to
 champion tennis prayer and mixed them up to perfection He drove,
 chopped, undercut, patted, volleyed,
 and smashed. It Is doubtful if he ever showed L, tier generalship, working ] every minute like he did when he was champion himself one year ago. l Williams layed beautiful game only ] in spots, displaying his famous fore 1 hand and backhand drives which won l his many points-no less than nine | more than Mclaughlin tallied, but Me | Lous ..lln showed that he could adapt l himself @: tirely to the needs of the

The ad- l ditional weight of the ball pulled his 1 low-fiying drives closer to the net, nc less than dozen times hitting the l top and failing over for points. | Mclaughlin captured all of hic own l service g;ules and broke through Will l Hams twice in the first and final

games greatest shortstop improved him immensely, made him a star at the keystone sack and an asset to the club. For a long time he was one of Fred Clarke's most timeiy hitters and was invaluab ble because of his aggres- siveness and hustling qualities. When Clarke needed first base man he took Miller off second and placed him there. He did as well as one position as at the other. There was trouble in the ranks, and Miller was one of the men who resented their treatment by the officials of the club. What was more, he thought his services were worth more to the team, put Barney Dreyfuss did not agree with him. AS a result a trade was made with tsle Cardinals. Since joining that team Miller has played as great a game as any infielder in the National league. Huggins declares he would not part With him for any trade or sum of money that club might offer.

GIANTS' SPURT

Go Down to Defeat in PorkopohS
 in Close Battle

Cincinnati, Aug. With no bats manout in the last half of the ninth inning and three Redlegs on the bases Tom Clarke, in the role of a pinch hitter was pitted against the fading pitching mysteries of one Pol Perritt Of the Giants yesterday. The Red backstop hit safe, sending run across the pan. thus breaking up real ball game, which the pennant-chasing Me- Grawites dropped by the score of to 5. That ninth inning ended in a man. ner which reflected no credit on the Giants. After Griffith hit for two bases, Winso drove one to Perritt, which the latter did not throw, either to third in an effort to head off Griffith or to first base in order to re- tire Wingo, and the result was that both runners were safe and Perritt was credited with an error. Williams was then passed purposely. Mollwitz was the next man on the Red roster. Zip" as he is known to the local fans, has not been hitting in the pinches. So Herzog sent Clark to bat for Moll witz. Clark drove one to left field, which under ordinary conditions would have been an out. But as the bases were full and Griffith on third would have scored anyway. even if Clark's fly had been caught, the ball rolled to the left field wall. Griffith Iomped home with the winning tally.

Brooklillc, Mass, Aug 7.-Maurice F.. Mclaughlin of San Francisco ob- tained permanent possession of the fa- nous Longwood tennis bowl yesterday when he defeated R. Norris Williams, 2d, of Harvard, the national champion in the challenge round of the tourna- ment on the courts of the Longwood Cricket club 3 sets to 1 at 6-3, 6-3, 2-6, 6-2. The match will go down in tennis history as the greatest played in the oldest tournament under the auspices of the National association, and by winning, the California player proved that no mistake was made when, although beaten at Newport by Williams last year, he was rated the best tennis player in the United States.

 such tennis in the national champion.

Not Enough.

One star isn't enough, however great. With only fair batting back CT Alexander upon this Western trip the Phillies today would be bolstered with a safe lead and easy favorites in the race.
 Big Alec has done more than his share and even in defeat has put a rare amount of stuff across the plate. But not even Alexander can pitch shutout ball eternally, so at least three finely pitched games went to seed. Take three defeats from the Phiily column and tack on three victories and the keen difference can be easily seen. Which is what two runs to the start back of Alexander would have accomplished in the last two weeks.

Willard's Status.

Some astonishment has been ex- pressed at the slight demand for a heavyweight championship bout in W hich Jess Willard will be called upon tc defend his title and prove his worth.
 But the situation explains itself without the need of any widespread language There is already so much fighting under way in various parts of the world that it would be hard to work up interest with only two men battling where over 20,000,000 are scattering gore over such large sec ton of the earth's crimson surface.
 And added to this is the belief that Willard at present stands alone, with no rival in sight who might carry him to an even scrimmage.

This club has been sv cratic since last July. when the pg cave -f started, that few have awarded fl a chance among the first three. But there is always this to remember: No man can drive a club harder or faster than McGraw once he gets if under way, and as long as he is in pottine distance there is always the possibility that he will rush his men TO the front as he did in 1911, when the Giants, counted out, won something like IT out of 20 games on the road through September.
