Major '.Carson, Washington correspondent
of fhe New Tork Times, also spoke briefly.
Governor George C. -Pardee of California
then delivered an address on "The Relation
of Colonixatlon to Irrigation."
- . . . ;-
Irrigation and Colonisation. .
In the course of his remark Commander
Booth Tucker of the Salvation Army said:
To Irrigate Is to populate, to populate la
to colonize. Thle congress cannot, I be
lieve, too strongiy emphasize the fact that
Irrigation Is dependent for Its success upon
population. Colonization may be defined
as the ' populating of hitherto unoccupied
tracts 61 land. Systematic, scientific colo
nization Is to haphazard colonisation what
the railroad Is to the prairie schooner, or
what irrigation la to the mountain torrent,
or what the rod Indian tepee la to the
modern city hail, or what the galley of
Columbus Is to the Atlantic liner;
. The la ok of systematic colonisation has
caused the failure of not a few excellent
and thoroughly practicable Irrigation
schemes. The reason for this Is not far
tn eek. A canal which will Irrigate nay
100,0i!p acres of lsnd Is necessarily a costly
enterprise. The Interest and upkeep can
easily be met If the whole tract be quickly
occupied. Hut If a small portion only be
nettled, either the c u I on Is is will be dis
heartened and driven away by the heavy
nharges, made In the effort to meet ex
penses and pay dividends, or the Investors
will become discouraged at the long delay
and onr-i;lpt of a fair return for their
investment. In either case the enterprise
will be killed in Ita Initial stage.
Scientific colonization ' can secure the
rapid and Immediate enjoyment of the
fruits of Irrigation. Each Is a necessity
to- the other.- An Ill-digested and hap
hasard scheme of Irrigation will Injure, If
not ' ruin, colonization. Similarly an un
systematic plan of coionlzatlon will retard
(as It has already done) and frequently
ruin the bst laid and most feasible plans
for Irrigation.
Scientific colonization will not wait for
the farmer with capital, any more than
manufacture will wait for the laborer with
i-aplial. Imagine the captain of Industry
who would eniplrty no laborer who did not
possess a few thousand dollars! And yet
this Is the course which colonization has
pursued.
.-' Private Capital Limited.
The' most tht the Capitalist, or land
owner, or Irrlgatlonlst, has been willing
to do In the past has been to bring the
water to the land, .and accept time pay
ments . for the latter from the settler.
Furthftr than this, they have been unwill
ing to venture. And hence the coloniza
tion of Irrigated lands has been almost en
tirely limited to farmers possessing
capital.
This haa had several serious disadvan
tages. t ' ' i
t. Irrigation, lends Itself much more read
ily to' the small intensive farm than to the
large ranch from which such settlers
usually come. " .
2. The small farmer who la not too high
tot fd to cultivate , the lsnd himself will
sUwaed where the -'"gentleman" i farmer
who -anptoys ihtred' labor sand Bunds his
children to college will fall, even though
the latter Tnav control ton times as much
ajr'the' former; " and posses a few
thousand dollars. Give the farmer' a
chance, select him with tare and back him
wljh say J600 cash for a start, and he will
aiicneed. betUr than the' latter every time.
MUhvamnky ifuiuls for -Irrigation now In
rlebt, land --with some of our brainiest en
gineers -working out extensive plana, what
our "arW west'' calls for Is not the nonresident-gentleman
farmer with his staff
of-cowboys, but the resident twenty-acre;
iioTny-hatwded son of the soil, who does not
dren'e dignity to drive the plow, milk
the cow and earn an honest living by his
''sweat of brain and brow. The old-time
governor of Virginia was right when he
told King Oeorge that he would rather
have a dozen such -than a shipload of the
ladles and gentlemen whom the latter was
proposing to send out.'
But granted that such sett'.era are de
sirable, why should there be any difficulty
a(x;-,t obtaining them? '
Now scientific: colonization uses the
worthy fsmtly that has no cash. It says
in brief. "Place this waste labor upon, the
waste land by means of waste capital, and
thereby convert this trinity of waste Into
a unity of production. ' It has been argued
on tlie. other hand that, first they would
net go, second they would not stay, third
they would -not work, and last, but by no
means lest. they would not psy. We set
to work some- six years ago to put ou
theories Into 'pntrtioe and are now able to
say positively after more than five years'
experience that they have gone and stayed,
they have worked and paid. Even the
comparatively new-failures we have en
counters have been a valuable education
to us. and we are now tn a pottlon to
handle the. largest schemes- with self
sacrlflclng and expert manas-era to direct
the trains, and with a, .practical code of reg
illations to guard us fiom the rocks on
which' go many similar enterprlsea. have
beeit frecked. . .
' " Tbre Army Colonies. .
Our "three colonies are located In Colo
rado, California and -Ohio, and comprise
nearly I.OoO acres of land on which about
4iW men, women and children have been
settled. On the first two colonies every
family Is entirely self-supporting, and the
repayments huve s mounted to considera
bly more than $20,0m).
On the California oolony last year the

an Imperative and practical question of the
hour as by Its brilliant and persistent ef
forts irrigation has already become. The
nssodatlon of these two powerful factors.
Irrigation and colonization. In the welfare
of oikr nation, will be well-nigh Irresistible,
and with these mighty levers this congress
wll lift from the nations pathway the
deadweight of poverty and congestion which

ated internecine struggles between capital
and labor, and threatened to shipwreck our
fiiu-e prosperity.
Commander Booth Tucker was applauded
again and again. The delegates gava him
three cheers when he concluded. Reeee.
was then taken.
Delegation Is Too Lnrge.
When the afternoon sesilo-n, convened, at
2:36, a letter from Cl.Uf Engineer George
H. Newell of the' United States geological
survey was read. Inviting tha co-operation
of the Irrigation congress.
A letter from the National Business
league of Chicago was also read, command
ing the work of tha congress.
Ex-Oovernor Prince of New Mexico In
troduced a resolution providing for a com
mittee of Ave to report the condition of
the Irrigation congress' constitution, rec
ords of previous congresses and their
action on the constitution. The resolution
was passed.
The report of the committee on creden
tials waa then, read, showing M accredited
delegates, 'representing different atates and
territories. The large number of delegate!,
It waa stated, was due to a violation of the
clause of the constitution providing for the
appointment of delegates.
Senator Parts Gibson of Montana spoke
on "The Repeal of Some of Our Land
Laws," saying In part:
If the desert land act. tha mmihutaHnn
clause of the homestead act and the tim
ber and stone act should be repealed we
WOUld Still have licon tha Itnlllta Hswslra
of the nation a true homestead law, under
which the actual settler could acquire ICO
acres of land by occupying and cultivating
it five years, and this Is the only land law
ciuircu ior ins settlement -or our public
lands. All other acts by which land may
be acquired .are. In. the . Interest of specula
tors and men seeking to control large
tracts of grazing and timber land and were
never Intended by their originators to pro
mote the settlement of the public domain.
The public lands cannot be preserved for ao
tual settlers and the great work of re
claiming the arid lands cannot be contin
ued unless we repeal all acts by which pub
lic lands csn be obtained except the home
tead act. Continue our present system of
land laws and the vast country west of
the Ml'slsslppl, Instead of furnishing homes
for millions of people, will become chiefly a
country of landlords and tenants
Opposes Repeal of lawi.
The other side of the aoverament land
question was then presented by Congress
man V. W. Mondell of Wyoming. He spoke
on "The Value and Importance of the Des
ert Land Act."
The aaitatlon for li rnal nt tha
land law, the timber and stone act and the
commutation clause of the homestead act
will receive scant support In the public
under the desert la law riam Utui va
been reclaimed from the desert and made
fruitful than under all other laws, and ltg
repeal would greatly retard future Irriga
tion development. The repeal of the tim
ber and stone aot would deprive the ranch
man and farmer of an opportunity to se
cure a timber lot, would establish a gov
ernment timber monopoly, pernicious and
contrary to the spirit of our Institutions.
The repeal of the commutation clause of
me nomeateaa law would discourage and
retard settlement and develonment. Ev res.
son of the menace to the homestead settler
or loss ot homestead right, labor and Im
provements, should sickness, death, low
prices or shortage of crops render It Impos
sible for him to maintain continuous resi
dence. The laws In on est I on have furnished
nearly $13,000,000 of the $1,000,000 now to the
credit of the Irrigation, fund, and their re
peal would amount to a repeal ot the 'na
tional Irrigation law.
'l ne people ot the purine land statea are
forced to the conclusion that a laree nart
of the agitation for repeal emanates from
large corporate land and acript owners,
who see in the withdrawal of public land
from market a greater demand for their
property.
"The Utilisation of Public Grazing
Lands'" was discussed by W. M. Weel-
d ridge of Huntsdale. Mo. Adjournment
was then taken until :30 tomorrow morn
ing, when Senator Newlanda of Nevada,
who was to have spoken today, will deliver

A three-masted and a two-masted schoDner
tunk at the Delaware breakwater, and also
about half a dozen coal barges foundered
In the vicinity of the Delaware capes. All

DELAWARE! BREAKWATER, Dbl.,flept.
1. The southern storm which had been
coming up the Atlantic coast several days
struck the Delaware capes early thla morn
ing with almost cyclonic force and as a
result at least five lives were lost The
storm lasted from S o'clock this morning
until 7 o'clock. The wind reached a maxi
mum velocity of eighty miles an hour and
the rain fell In torrents.
The moat serious wreck reported was that
which befell the schooner Hattle A. Marsh,
whose captain. 3. B. MehaFy, and four
members of the crew were drowned. The
Marsh hailed from New London, Conn.,
and was bound from Painter's rolnt, Me.,
tor Philadelphia with a cargo, of paving
stone. She was caught In the terrific wind
v-torm outside the- new breakwater. The
captain tried to reach the harbor of ref
uge, but before he could do so the vessel
had to anchoV and try to ride the storm, j
Her anchors, however, did not hold and
the schooner with her dead weight of (
atones was dashed on the rocks of the har
bor of refuge. Tho steam pilot h-tat Phila
delphia went to her relief, but only suc
ceeded In saving Mate Norman Campbell
and one seaman. Captain Mehaffy and the
four other sailors were lost In the fury of
the lashing waves. The rescued men were
taken to the Lewes life saving station' and
cared for. They were In a very exhausted
condition when picked up.
Another Schooner Blnls.
In the old harbor southwest of the marl
time reporting station three schooners
dragged their anchors and collided. They
were Emily F. Northam. Adam Townsend
and Sea Bird. The Sea Bird, which was a
two-masted vessel, went down and her
crew was rescued and landed on the point
of Cape Henlopen. The men were cared
for at the life-saving station. Toe Northam
had her Jib boom carried away and her
yawl stove. The Townsend lost her head
gear and Jib boom. The bargee Elmwnod,
Gllberton and Kalmla, laden with coal from
Philadelphia for eastern points, were sunk
In Delaware bay westward of the Brown
shoal. Their crews were rescued. The tug
Spartan, which was towing the coal barges
Trevertoit, Hammond and an unknown
barge Is reported to have sunk.

It and towed the vessel to safe anchorage.
Considerable minor damage waa done to
the breakwater.
.The harbor of refuge, Esat End light,
and the day mark on the breakwater were
carried away. Some of the piling at tha
reporting station waa washed away and
the telegraph line was down all day.
Damage at Atlaatlo City.
ATLANTIC CITT. N. J., Sept 1-The
tropical storm which struck the New Jer
sey coast early thla, morning was one of
the severest experienced for a long time.
The wind blew with hurricane force and
while It lasted kept up a speed of seventy
miles an hour. The storm was terrlflo to
a degree, but the damage was not aa great
as was at first believed. A conservative
estimate places the entire damage at $28,000
or $30,000. The telegraph ajid telephone
lines leading out ot the city are down and
the fact that the city was out oft from
connection with the outside world started
wild rumors that the great resort had been
entirely swept away. The first train in
from Philadelphia and other points brought
excited relatives and friends , who were
anxious after the welfare of their lovad
ones, and found them well and happy and
telling amusing stories about the freaks
of the storm.
Great damage was done along the board
walk, twhere the one-story buildings suf
fered to a considerable extent. The storm's
fiercest attack waa made on the McClay
apartment building at Pacific and South
Carolina avenues. The roof was more than
hair torn off. When the roof blew oft the
fifty or more fumillcs were thrown into a
panic. They were quickly pacified, how
ever, and all left the building. One sick
lad. suffering from fever, was hurried to
a hospital.

rainstorm known hereabouts in years. The
day began with rair., which Inci eased with
the wind, grew stronger and for two hours
about midday the combined fury of the ele

amounting to many thousands of dollars.
The gale culminated about noon In a wind
velocity or nrty-four miles an hour.
Sheets of water drove across the citv
catching many without shelter. The gauges

Then the storm subsided. By the middle of
the afternoon tha wind had dropped to a
mere breeze and the sun broke through
the clouds. Several persons were Injured
by being blown off fire escapes and wagons
or by being forced against walls by the
onslaught of the storm, and not a few of
there ars in hospitals nursing bruiaea and
cuts, but no deaths have been reported.
The gale waa especially severe at sea,
causing havoc to the shipping down the
bay. where many vessels were sunk or
wrecked.
The worst of the damage was reported
from 8taten Island. The entire fleet of
the Staten Island Yacht club, at anchor,
was either sunk or wrecked.
The pilot boat Hermit was driven ashore

THREE WOMEN ARE MURDERED

pected of Deed Haa Die
SUPERIOB. Neb., Sept. U.-Mra. H. H.
Payne, an aged woman; her daughter, Mra.
Wriliama. and a 11-year-old daughter of
Mra. Wllllama, were murdered In their
home oh a farm near Judaon, Smith county,
Kan., last night. The three had been ac
customed to sleep together. Mrs. Williams
waa found dead outside the house this
morning. The girl waa dead In bed and
the grandmother was unconscious In bed
and died aoon after the discovery ot the
crime.
The murderer had beaten In the skulls
ot all the victims, using a cultivator bar.
A young farm hand named Madison Is sus
pected of the murders. He was enamored
of Mrs. Williams, who was seeking a di
vorce from her husband, and who had re
fused to marry Madison. He has disap
peared. His hat was found near the house
and a water trough nearby was discolored
aa though the murderer had washed blood

PRESIDENT IN A HURRICANE
(Continued from' First ' Page.)
his desire to go directly among the Immi
grants themselves with a view of ascer
taining how they were treated. He was
particularly Interested by the fact devel
oped that the majority of the applicants
for admission were supplied with American
money.
Immigrants Bring Money.
The statement was made by the immigra
tion officials that Immigrants passed at the
atation carried an average aggregate of
$,0fj0,000 a year In American currency.
The president's attention was attracted
by a comely German woman, Adele Walter
from Lutendorff, who bore In a wicker
basket a tiny babe. After chatting a mo
ment with her the president slipped a $5
bill Into her hand. She was greatly af
fected on learning that the gift was from
the president of the United States.
Aa the president waa passing through the
room In which the women who 1iad been
excluded were being detained temporarily,
a pathetic Incident occurred. An elderly
womaa approached him crying out piti
fully. The president Inquired about the
case and learned that the woman had
been detained at the prloon since July SO.
On that date ahe, with her husband and
four children, arrived from Russia,
Asks Woman's Freedom.
The husband and one child had come over
as second cabin passengers, probably be
cause they knew they were afflicted with a
disease which would bar their admission
to this, country from the steerage, while
the wqman and the other three children
were steerage passengers. The husband
and one child escaped from the ship. Al
though the evidence showed that the
woman had a son In this country engaged
In a profitable business she and her three
children were held up. After the facts had
been developed tha president announced
that; there could be no possible reason for
detaining the woman longer, aa it was
quite, evident ahe and her children were
financially able to care for themselves.
The case Is, however, pending on appeal
before Secretary Cortelyou of tha Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor and ha
doubtless will release the woman In ac
cordance with tha judgment of the presi
dent. At 7 o'clock the president, accompanied
by Secretary Loeb and his personal at
tendants, went aboard Sylph for dinner.
At JO o'clock they.- left, for Jersey City on
the tJg Chamberlain, where they boarded
the t,ain for Anttetatn. : , i.

Rev. 8. K. McNeil of Hirst Memorial
church, at Thirty-fourth and Lnrlmore ave
nuer, and a host of Ms parishioners have
asked the council to place an electric light
on the corner instead of the gasoline lamp
that now does duty there. The pastor
told tho council that there are rough char
acters in the neighborhood who frequently
make a disturbance In front of ths church.
He believes thut a good light will be as
efficient as a policeman in warding oft

rected to draw up a looolutlon authorising
the light. .
