LAST STRETCH
OF SUPPLY BILL
IN THE HOUSE
1t VIII Probably Reach Its
Third Reading Tomor-
row. Senate Has Draft
of Land Bill Only for
Purposes Of Study

Though rapid progress was made
on the house appropriation bill yes
terday the stage the managers eX-
pected to reach before the close Of
the new day was somewhat in the
distance at the hour of adjournment.
1t was thought that the bill might
be put into the hands of the enroll
ing and engrossing committee before
night. But there remain one or
two items to be included. That will
probably be accomplished this morning
and it is likely that the bill will
reach it's third reading tomorrow
and be passed up to the senate.
When the house convened. Chair
man Powers of the appropriations
committee said that there were three
or four matters to be included ana
the committee desired to rearrange
some of the items which appeared
in the bill out of order Prepare
tion for final action by TIE commit
tee he said could be made in a short
time and recess was taken until half
past ore.
The first item was provocative of a
spirited debate Notwithstanding the
ubS WIS rather warm Tor argument.
1t proposed an appropriation of SS,-
600 for guaging the streams of the
state. contingent upon a like approp-
Ration by the federal government
Mr.. Goodwin objected that there were
no streams now to be guaged since
that work had been going on for
the last twenty years. Mr.. Christy
wanted to know what strea ms were
yet to be guaged. Mr.. Pinkley re-
piled hat there We're the San Fran
cisco, the Blue and Little Colorado
Mr.. Christy replied that the San
Francisco had already been guaged
and that he knew more about the
Blue than any other man in the cham
Der since he had crossed it 10 times
IN travelling 20 miles Though Mr..
Chisty did not say so in so many
words he left an inference that the
course of the stream was somewhat
tortuous The proposed appropriation
prevailed. Such an appropriation has
been made in the past and the ma
jority did not like to disturb an es-
tablished precedent.
An appropriation Of 81 900 for the
insane asylum sewer and one of So
200 for place for the sewer to
discharge itself were also made
An appropriation that encountered
a great deal of opposition was one
for S5OO.000 for the state road fund

LONDON, May 10.-The Cunard

Turner of the steamer, given at the

deadly missile found a vital spot and

Lord Mersey opens the inquiry into
the loss of the ship Meanwhile the
cause of the heavy loss of life, the
absence of naval escort and the sud

Anti-German riots have been oc

while more staid business men have
decided to exclude all men of enemy
and even naturalized Ger
mans from the exchanges of the
country. There has been boom
in recruiting. Recruiting was also
helped by a German air raid early
this morning. One hundred and
twenty bombs were dropped in South
End and vicinity but there were only
two deaths. The material damage
amounted to $4,000.
Captain Turner in declaring that
one torpedo did all the damage. said
the second explosion the passengers
heard was an internal one. and the
engines having been put out of COM
