Sir. Noycn' atli- 0 yesterday afternoon
dealt larg-ely with .. development of weat

"I hardly neeil aay tliHt the recent revolu
tion in wemern banklnie conditiona ha
bneti greeted la the euxt with the profund
ear cratirication. Ferhapa it would be too
much to aay that . the expansion wa
watched without itlsaivlng'. It waa not the
fUst spectacular western banking expan

conscience. The years Immediately be
fore and after W. told a similar alary.
What waa vaguely apprehended In the east,
therefore, during the great forward move
ment ot eastern finance and Industry,
was that interior be.nking. with It amaxln
windfall of new credit and new resources,
might once more overdo things, and get
the country Into Just such another scrape.
Weal Stands rirea.
But the reault wa reaaaurlng. In the
country passed through a season of thor-.oug-going
liquidation a the penalty for Its
financial extravagances of the two preced
ing years. Banks In such cities as Pitts
burg and Kultimore. had to tnel a pretty
heavy reckoning and very few other east
ern markets, where reckless banking- had
been practiced, got off scot-free- But
much to the surprise of the doubters, the
west not only did not share In the serious
credit unsett lenient of that year, but ap-l-eared,
to ha chiefly Impressed with wonder
as to what waa the matter with the east,
and led the way in I'M to the arrest indus
trial recovery which was to follow. Next
caiuo ths panic of l'i. and the east, rem-eintx-iitut
that in ISM. occurred In the west
and south, looked tor alarming new. from
these hundreds of young interior Institu
tions. Everybody knows hour much and
how little of that expectation was realised,
out of thirty-three national banks which
failed in the twelve month, after the

river and the Rocky tnoun'alna. and out of
175 failures of state banks, savings bank,
and trust companies In the fiscal year end

resionatul tor only seven.
""In other words, the country was at
length convinced that It had underrated
the stability of thla new banking era of the
west, and the resources ot which the bank

, the assion Senator Jultu C. Bur-
rw of chalrman ot Ule com-
mitt barred what was termed hearsay I
Yidonce from the proceedings. This ruilng!
i,aiied as a material advantage by tn
frirnds of Senator Lorimer. The hearing
' was specifically on the right of the wit
j n ss. Representative White, to relate con-
I vernations which he declared he had with
Representative Joseph Clark of Vandaha,
In which White said Clark admitted that
he, too. was bribed to vote for Lorimer
Later the same ruling waa Invoked to
bar the manuscript story' of Whites al
leged experiences in the Forty-sixth gen
eral assembly, which detailed hia asser
tions of the bribery ot himseif and other
legislator. In the Lorimer election.
The privilege of receding White was
granted by the comittee to both Attorney
Austrian and A torney Hanevy.
Letters Are Pat latw Reears.
The cross examination dealt primarily
with letters and message and conversa
tion, of White and a number of letters to
minority leader Browne from White, and
letters to the witness from Lorimer were
also read Into the record. The latter part
of the cross examination was devoted to an
analysis of testimony of White In the two
trials of democratic leader Browne, on tbe
charge of bribery. In an effort to establish
ground for impeaching the present testi
mony of White, by witnesses who testlfcd
in the other trials.
The questioning of the witness on what
he had said In the trials was objected to
repeatedly by Attorney Austrian, and the
neoaswity of the questions purposes "was
rgrJed ttme after trrrm tif.tWorneT Hanscy.
The witness repeatedly declared that he
could not remember just what questions
were asked him or what aswere. he gave.
White denied absolutely statement, at-
tributed to witnesses In the Browne tdnu .
relative to hi having expressed a determi
nation to force Senator Lorimer and hia
friends to contribute much money to him
on a threat of declaring falsely that he
was bribed to vote for the senator.

lt is expected that Representative H. L

he was bribed In the senatorial election,
will be the first witness tomorrow.
Mr. Beckemeyer is to be followed on the
witness stand by State Senator D. W.
HolUlaw cf Iuka. who Is credited with
having confessed to the Sangamon county
grand jury that be waa paid K.juu for vot
ing for Senator Lorimer. Hultslaw has
not yet testified In any trial and his testi
mony will be listened to by District At

IRRIGATION AND PROGRESS

Pt'EBLO. Colo.. SepL C The completion
of committee appointments wss the first
important business transacted upon the
convening of the eighteenth National Irri
gation congress this momtnit. The various
state delegation devoted the early morn
ing hours to the consideration of policy.
The most pronounced interest centered
in the meeting of the Colorado delegation.
This meeting Is expected to determine to
what extent the question of states tights
will be injected Into the deliberations of
the present congress. 1
"lrrHumon by Prelate Men' was 1 tint
topic of this" fltwruISj" session of the con
gress. This afternoon .Public Irigat1tn
was considered.
At the meet tag of the Colorado delegation
this morning a resolution was presented
recommending 'that our respective conn res-
siunst delegations urge that there be ap
propriated out of the reclamation service
fund H.GoQ.OuO annually for the purpose of
guaglng the public streams of the United
States geological survey."
A Second resolution was offered dealing
with the Elephant Butte project In New
I Mexico, Insofar as the reservations of
water made therefore and to fulfill the
treaty with Old Mexico are concerned.
The sponsors of this resolution protest
against, "first, the assumption that any
injury which may have been done to Mex
ico Is due to the development of irrigation
near the source of the Rio -Girande In
Colorado, and. second, the assumption
that In order to cumolv with the oblixa- (
tions of the treaty in question further ex
tension of irrigation in the San Luis
valley In Colorado must be prohibited.
Against these two assumptions Colorado
protests because they are directly con
trary to the fact."
Irrintlsa Aid to Prsxeru,
George Eames Barsiow of Barstow, Tex.,
former president of the National Irrigation
congress, in his address delivered here )
today made a strong appeal for lrri- I
gation, not only aa an economic project.
i.ut as an aid to civilization and a potent '
factor In the world's progresa. His speech,
In part, follows
'The first essential for a successful iteue
of irrigation is a sufficient supply of good
water. One may possess 30.utr. SO.OuO or
lOu.OMv acres of fine alluvial land, splendid
climate, nearby markets, etc., and yet. if
J lacking a proper supply of water, he need
! not look for a successful issue. I regret
to say that there are men in different

possession of land, have made the Inno

the real fight was on.
Colonel Abraham Uruber of New York
City had been selected to fire the verbal
hot shot for the old guard and hia specli
attacking the former president was often
broken and drowned by hisses and Jeeri.
Every nook and cranny of the convention
hall was filled when the republican stats
convention was called to order today.
The word has gone forth that the old
guard was beaten In It tight to elect Vice
President Sheimau the temporary chair
man and every one wait id for the fire
works. Colonel Flcosevclt started rounds of
applause. When Vice President Sherman
took his seat the demonstration shook the
building. Mr. Karnes came la for salvo of
applause.
Chairman Woodruff called the convention
to order.
When the roil call had been completed
Chairman Woodruff announced:

"The next order of business Is the elec
tion of a temporary chairman," and ad
dresnlng the convention aald:
"I have been Instructed by the repub
lican slate committee to recommend tJ
tin committee a temporary chairman
and in doing so i ask your Indulgence for
.is moment.
President Taft deeply desired that hi
party heie in convention assembled, rep
resenting tha largest aud most potent re
publican constituency et the v'nlted
United State should unequivocally en
dorse lilt administration. This knew
from personal knowledge a. the result
of a visit made two week, before tu
meeting of the stale committee to the
I summer capital at Beverly. There He
made known not only his desires, but aiso
hla apprehensions.
To allay these apprehensions,' what
mora natural than t.i selection to make
the keynote aps.ee u as temporary chair
man ot him who ha. been sent to speak,
for the admlniatratiin to all parts uf the
country, even Into the president a owu

"A precedent tor th designation for ti.e

added, "was wisely esublished two years
ago, when Keuatur Koot then premier of tUs
