WASHINGTON, June 2S.-Vigorous
opposition to the proposed $7O,000,OoO

when Mayor Bailey of Denver wired
the house irrigation committee request
ing that congress take no action o'l
the project until the Colorado commls-
sion has reached it's attitude on the
proposed improvement.
Bale yalso asked that citizens of
Colorado be given a hearing.
The Denver telegram was presented
70 the committee by Nnators Phillips
and Nichols and Representative Hale,
who backed the request made by Mayor
Bailey. They argued that the Colorado
river commission is now studying the
Boulder dam project but has not come
to any decision.
Secretary Hoover, who is president
of the river commission, has appeared
before the irrigation commission and
given the dam project his individual
endorsement.
Witnesses before the commission to-
day were Thomas G. Wager, attorney of

FAMILY SURVIVES
RAILWAY COLLISION

Kind fate was surely keeping a
watchful eve on the family of r.
Loman, colored,- of Imperial. last night,
and saved them from horrible death
on the railroad crossing at the South
crn Pacific depot. At $3.50 the Loman
family were returning to Imperial, ana
were halted at the east side of the
crossing by the signal of the watch
man on duty, who was standing IN the
center of the crossing. Loman stopped
his ear and then, it is claimed drove
to the rear of the Waterman, IN an at
tempt to cross the tracks. Just as the
car reach the track furtherest west, q
switch engine hauling a load of ears
from the south, struck the five passen'
GER car and carried it IS feet north of
the crossing, where it hit the east iron
semaphore pole, swapping it off like a
matchstick and throwing the occupants
of the ear in all directions. By some
miracle, nobody was killed, and one of
the young Loman children, cut by fly
ing glass, was the only one injured. The
engineer of the switch engine which
was travelling slowly, jammed his
brakes as soon as the engine struck the
ear, but it was absolutely impossible to
avoid the collision as Loman drove di-
rectlv onto the engine, it is reported.
Mrs Loman was found with Il small
baby clasped in her arms. She said
that when she saw the engine practic-
ally on top of them, she was sure she
was going to die, and clasped her baby
TO her breast in an effort to shield it
from danger. Loman was unable to
explain his action.
