-MembMS of congress who lime ap-

" !
il, a nvfr and harbor bill aie worried
They hia- time and again that Picshlent j
Taft will not sign the bill unless the rail
road bill also is cmicted In pome shape
satisfactory to the administration, i
The fact that this piesi.Unt opposed an j
Appropriation bill for river and harbors
at this consuls on the wound of economy
la recalled. It would be an ea;;y matter
for tlio president, according to the view
of mmibers of t-oiigreJsi to Justify the veto
of the rivers and harbors bill on the ground
thut economy demanded it.
From what tan be gathered at this time
It appears that the conferees are willing
to agree upon $0.ooi,fiO as a maximum
total for waterways this ar. Instead of
the $52,000,090 carried by the bill as it
passed the senate. Members interested in
the rivers and harbors bill are uneasy over
the prospect of obtaining executive ap
proval of the bill. The recent develop
ments in the railroad legislation program
have not served to allay their fears.
There is hope iimonit friends of water
ways that the president may see political
phase of the waterways bill. Supporters
of the measure say it would be an unneces
sary handicap for the republican party to
so before the people In the fall election
with a record of bavins: defeated it. They
my the party would undoubtedly be pun
ished for such action. Members of the sen
ate committee on commerce do not expect
Senator ISurton, who mad the minority re
port, to press hi objections to the bill be
fore the ptvsldent.

Dixon and liornb.
It was reported today, although no con
firmation of the report could be obtained,
that Senator liixon would vote with the
regulars as soon as the long and short haul
amendment to the railroad bill waa disposed
of. Senator Borah, It was stated, would
also Join In the lineup for the Taft pro
gram, provided he were given assurance of
support for his bill providing for the Issu
ance of $30.O0C.O00 in certificates of indebted
ness to provide money to complete reclama
tion projects. Senators Bourne and Nelson,
It Is said, will be found In the conservative
ranks If the new legislative program takes
cognizance of certain measures favored by
them.
The purpose of the regular republicans is
to get a majority of the senate so that the
charge cannot be made that they formed a

announced at the senate conference presided
over by Senator Aldrlch. In fact, he Is said

statement cy m. Garfield.
CONTRADICTS HIS PREDECESSOR
He I liar thai Letter Written to
I'reslaVat Taft Doe ut Square
with Kurt and the
Hero ret .
WASHINGTON. May 5.-"lt was not a
fair or truthful statement." exclaimed Sec
retary Ballingej- during thy Ballinger
Plnchot investigation today, referring to a
sentence In former Secretary Garfield's
letter to the president last Noevmber, j
which read:
"Ha t Ballinger) directed the reclama-,
Ion service to prepare lists . for restoring
the withdrawn lands," Ou"-.; dc9t -slowly
in order not to attract psbftcv attention."
Mr. Ballinger aal'd that whila he had no
desire to reflect tin the previous adminis
tration, which had .withdrawn the lands
unlawfully, he believed he had Issued no
such ordef and that all th lands actually
had been restored within a period of three
weeks.
Another Statement DUpeted.
Another statement In the same letter was
disputed by Mr. Ballinger. Near the end
of his letter Mr. Garfield said the plan
of the reclamation service for the Issuance
of co-operative certificates had been ap
proved by the senate committee on irriga
tion. Mr. Ballinger read an affidavit from
the secretary ot that committee to the
effect that he had fa.hd to find anv such
appioval In the lecorus of t..u co.om.c.ee
for the last seven years.
As the reason for his having withdrawn
power sites he had, previously restored, Mr.
Ballinger said he feared they might be
taken up pending action by congress, giving
the president the power to withdraw them.
He admitted that he had no more legal au
thority for his action than had Mr. Gar
field. Mr. ' Ballinger contradicted two state
ments made by Secretary Garfield in his
letter of November 6. 1909, to President
Taft. In that letter, which is in evidence,
Mr. Garfield said that the co-operative
certificate plan of the reclamation service
had been approved by the senate commit
tee on irrigation and Mr. Ballinger read a
certificate from the secretary of that com
mittee, stating that a careful search of
the minutes of the commltee since 1903 had
tailed to show any reference to the cj-op- !
eratlfe certificates plan.
i
Question tlinol Reclamation. j
For more than an hour the commi toj
questioned Mr. Ballinger about the me. hod i
pursued in tntering on new r. cla ratio.i
projects. It was brought out that n-.any of
the states had not had their cqul.abl
share of these projects.
Senator Flint rough! to ascertain who
was responsible, for this condition. Th;
witness admitted that probably former
Secretary Hitchcock, under whose adnrnis
tration most of the existing projects we-e
Initiated, was responsible and not Dhector
Newell of the reclamation service. Mr.
Davis was at that tin - chief engine r of
the service.
A long discussion among members ot the
i Committee ensued as to the feasibility of
jvatlous reclamation projects. Mr. Flint
wanted to know if It were not a fact that

DISPOSAL OF DEAD CATTLE
Serious Health Problem Confronts
Residents of New Counties In
South Dakota.
PIERRE. S. It., May 5 (Special.) At
the meeting of the State Board of Health
held here last evening, the questio'.i of dis
posal of dead cattle on the prairies of the
northwestern part of the stt te was con
sidered, and the board took steps to at
once secure the appointment of county
boards of health in the new counties of
that part of the state, with Instruction to
take definite action toward compelling the
former owners of such cattle to dispose
of the carcasses, either by burial or by
burning. This action will no doubt stir
protests on the part of cattle owners, but
the situation is looked upon as one which
must be met to prevent sickness among
the residents of that part of the state.

CHRISTIANIA. Norway, May i.-Th.o-dore
Rousevelt delivered his address on
"International Peace" before the Nobu.
priae committee today.
Mr. Roosevcl, entered upon the mil
difficult field of European jaililics and la
the conclusion of a carefully worked out
thesis, advocated an international agrea
mi nt that would serve to check the growth
of armaments, especially naval armaments)
and the formation by those great power
honestly bent on peace of "not only tu
keep the peace among themselves, but to
prevent by force If necessary Its being
broken by others."
What Mr. Roosevelt had to say today be
fore the king and qui en of Norway and
other representative personages constituted
the basis of the private conversations which
be is having with the statesmen of Europe,
us occasion arises, concerning the practical
possibilities of collective action by the va
lious governments for the enrol cement of
universal peace.
Mr. -Roosevelt said It must be boms in
mind ever tnat the great end in view was
righteousness; and he explained that peace,
generally good In Itself, was never tn.i
highest good unless it came as the hand
maid of righteousness. It became a very
evil thing when It served merely as a mask
for cowardice and sloth or as an instru
ment to further the ends of despotism or
anarchy.
Fight for the Hlaht.
"No man Is worth calling a man," said
the speaker, "who will not fight rather
than submit to Infamy or see thus that
are dear to him suffer wrong." This prin
ciple Mr. Roosevelt applied to nations.
As he proceeded. Mr. Roosevelt's voles
plainly showed the effect of the strain to
which it has been subjected by the dally
speech making since March I. Today it
failed him several times and toward the
closb of his address, which was delivered
with unusual emphasis, ho had difficulty
in making himself heard. This morning he
consulted a throat specialist, who sug
gested a rest from speaking as lh best.,
remedy. Nevertheless, the former presi
dent continued his set ' speech to Its end
today.

Text of Address.
Mr. Roosevelt said:
It is with peculiar pleasure that I stand
here today to express the deep apprecia
tion I feel of the high honor conferred upon
me by the presentation of the Nobel Peac
Prize. The gold medal" which formed part
of the prize I shall always keep, and 1 shall '
hand It on to my children as a precious
heirloom. The sum of money provided si
part of the prize by the wise generosity of
the Illustrious founder of this world-famous
prize system, I did not, under the peculiar
circumstances of the case, fee! at liberty
to keep. 1 think It eminently Just and
proper that In most cases the recipient of
the prlzo should keep for his own use the
prize In Its entirety. But In this case, whila
I did not act officially as president of the
United Slates, it was nevertheless only be
cause 1 was president that I wes enabled
to act at all: and I felt that the money
must be considered as having been given
me In trust for the United States. 1 there
fore used it as a nucleus for a foundation
to forward the cause of industrial peace, as
being well within the general purpose of
your committee; for In our complex In
dustrial civilization of today the, peace of
righteousness and Justice, the only kind of
p.-ace worth having, is at least as neces
sary in the industrial world as It Is among
nations. There la at leat as much need
to curb the cruel greed and arrogance ol
part of the world of capital, to curb tin
cruel greed and violence of part of tin
world of labor, as te cheek a cruel and un
healthy militarism In International rela
tlonshlps.

We must ever bear In mind that On
great end In vlrw is righteousness, Justus
ss between man arid man, nation and na
tion, the chance to lead our lives on a
somewhat higher level, with broadei
spirit of hioth.'ily good will one for an
other. Peace Is gem-rally good In itself,
but It is n.iver the highest giod unless It
comes as the handmaid of rightnouriii-ss,
and It becomes a very evil thing If It serves
merely aa a mask for cowardice and sloth,
or as an Instrument to further the ends of
despotism or anarchy. We desplst and ab
hor the bully, the brawler, the oppressor,
whether III private or public life, but w
despise no less .be coward and the volup
tuary. No ir.sn s worth calling a man wh
will not fight rather than tubmlt to In
famy or see those that aie d- ar to htir
suffer wrong. Nu nation deserves tu axial
