sions of the espionage act.
By the administration of embargoes

also to prevent supplies reaching
Germany through neutrals.

state', the secretary of agriculture, the
secretary of commerce and the food

Coal and grain will be the first
commodities to go under the act.
Food exports will be left largely in
me nanus or tne'iooa administration,
which will consult the council where
international questions are involved.

IRRIGATION DAM
ON PRICE RIVER
BROKEN BY FLOOD
Eleven Thousand Acre Feet of
Water Rushes Down Valley
and Drive; Out the Inhab
itants of Three Towns.
Salt Lake City, -June 25. Reports
received this afternoon by James H
Hooper, acting secretary of the Price
River irrigation company, from M. P.
Christensen, superintendent of the
project stated that three-fourths of
the dam's core wall remains intact,
and that the water is well under con
trol. Mr. Christensen said the com
pany's water right, additional to the
storage capacity will be adequate to
guard against a total loss of this
year's crop. He expressed the opinion
that reconstruction of -the dam will be
commenced at once. Mr. Christensen
said there had been no loss of life, and
no person has been injured.
Men armed with dynamite are pa-
troling the streams in the flooded-f
Price river calley today, according to,
a telegram received by F. V. Fitz
Gerald, secretary to Governor Bam
berger. 1 lie wire stated that they are using
the explosive wherever necessary to
break up jams which might divert the
water from the channel and cause
further damage to crops. The tele
gram gave assurance that the bal
ance of the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad is comparatively safe and
stated that the flow in the -Price river
is sufficient to irrigate some of the
crop that will suffer from water short-
hind the dam was released.
The entire branch of the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad near Schofield,
mammoth reservoir dam' near Fair
view, Utah, broke last night, destroy
ing thousands of dollars in crops, was
completely wiped out today, according
to meager reports received here at the
local offices of the railroad. Commun
ication has been almost entirely cut off
and definite information regarding the
break is impossible. ' i
Fairvievv, Utah, June 2S. The dam
of the Price iver Irrigation com
pany, twelve miles from here, which
started to break yesterday afternoon,
was a total loss this morning.
AH fears that there will be loss of
life in the towns of Schofield, Hel
per, Castle Gate and Colton, in the
path of 11,000 acre feet of water that
were released in the break were dis
pelled this morning with an announce
ment by the Rio Grande railroa'd
that its force of men assisted by
workers of the irrigation company
nan taken Hundreds ot men, women
and children to safety.
Property Loss Three Millions.
While officials of the irrigation
company were unable to give an exact
estimate of the loss to the dam, crops
and . roperty, they declared that the
damage would probably exceed S3,.
000,000.
The first break in the concrete core
carried away- a section from forty
to fifty feet wide and five feet high.
Forestry officials stationed at Fair
view went to the dam and tendered
their services to the irrigation com
panies. Big trees were blasted and
dragged to the reservoir in the hope
that they would float to the break and
aid in staying the flow. They only
tended to aid in breaking away more
of the concrete.
An additional break in the dam is
feared, a telegram to the company
said.

Splendid Progress in Move

Omaha's representatives who have

Crook, near Omaha, are advancing
the advantages of the local fort with
better than" average chances of suc

Omaha has more than a fighting

Fourth Demonstration in Ecpnt
of White House Results in
Marchers Being Taken
to Police Station.
Washington, June 25. MoVe than a
dozen "suffragists were arrested late
today by the police when they
marched in front of the .Whife House
lined up against the fence and(uni
furled suffrage banners. .A crowd
of hundreds watched the arrests, but
there was no disorder.
This was the fourth demonstra
tion of the day. The other times the
women marched quietly past the
wnite nouse and back again without
umurung ineir oanners.
Just after 4:30, however, when em
ployes began to pour out of the near
by departments, a squad of women,
each carrying a furled banner, started
in single file to march in front of the
White house from east to west, When
they reached the end of the block they
turned and started back still with the
banners furled.
Banners Thrown to Breeze.
Reaching the middle-of the block
immediately in front of the White
house itself, at a signal every banner
was thrown to the breeze and the
women stood silent as close to the
iron pickets of the fence as possible.
The police arrested most of them and
took them in automobiles to police
headquarters.
The women were all released on
Personal bonds after appearing at
eadquarters, giving their names, ages
and occupations. No time was set for
a hearing on the formal charge of
blocking traffic.
There were nineteen women in the

parade. Fourteen were arrested, in
cluding Misses Mabel Vernon of Ne

and Mrs. Alex Shields of Texas.

MORE CUTS ARE
MADE IN RAISES
OF LOCAL TAXES
Board of Equalization Contin
ues to Overrule Assessor
Fitzgerald in Boosts
He Made.
Big reductions from raises in taxes
made by County Assessor Fitzgerald
were voted by the county board of
equalization this morning over his
objections.
ine county assessor voted no in
several instances when motions had
been made and seconded to reduce
schedules to the amounts returned
and strike out the boosts advised by
mm.
"""The C. N. Dieti Lumber company
interests, raised to $245,000 by the
county assessor, was reduced to ?.v,
775 over his protestations. The vote
was 6 to 1. '
The legal jtatus of the more than
5,000 notices of tax boosts, totaling
millions of dollars, sent out bv the
county assessor and, questioned by
County Attorney Magney, has not as
yet been acted upon.
Notices Not Legal.
In the opinion of the county attor
ney the notices of raises are not
binding. He doubts whether tax
payers notified by the county assessor
and who fail to appear before the
equalization! board would be held b$
the courts to be liabl to such bnost.
The equalization board as a body
has not asked the county attorney to
appear and give his opinion as' to the
legality of the notices, though it is
known he has expressed his willing
ness to do so to individual members.
If the board adjourns next Mon
day, the end of the twenty-day period
provided by law for the body to sit,
thousands of cases will remain un
heard, members oj the board believe.
Only about 8501 taxnavers out of
the approximately 5,000 notified of
raises have appeared before the board
to protest.
.Fitzgerald Overruled.
In most instances reductions to fig
ures returned on schedules haver been
voted, lots of times in the face of
violent objections by the county as
sessor.

Student Officers Have Picnic
But Pass Time Drawing Maps
Minneapolis, Minn., June 25. (Spe

great big picnic at the officers' train
ing camp at Snelling today.
That is, it did from a distance, ior
here and there on many parts of the
ground were seen many small groups
of men sitting on camp stools and
chairs with what might have been a
lunch in front of them.
It was anylhing but a picnic, "as
one of the students expressed it." The
men were making road sketches of
the road at Snelling, and the "lunch"
was a small board with a paper at
tached, on which each man sketched
the road.

faithful began June 14 when, Roose
velt was in Lincoln. Roosevelt day
furnished a good excuse for their
flocking to Lincoln, and when John
nie Byrne of Columbus, former
democratic state chairman, got to
Lincoln he did not care whether he -saw
Roosevelt or not. He hurried
straight to the state house to enter -his
protest to the governor. ,
Senator Phil Kohl of Wayne came
trooping next with his bundle of pro- :
tests. Senator Joht) Mattes and
George Leidigh, both of Nebraska
City, then came upon the scene, and
in the executive office and at the Lin
coln hotel they buzzed about the ear
of the governor in tones sometimes
loud and sometimes low.
They insisted that there are plenty
of young men who can save the coun
try, and that Governor Neville must
be "saved" to run for the United
States senate later. , :
Argue Loud and Long. -:
They argued that it would npset
their political plans for the governor
to leave now. They have him slated
for the senate and in this slate are
aid. to be penciling other political
prospects from various parts of the
state into their respective places.
Lest these arguments might not be
sufficiently persuasive, Arthur Mullen
of Omaha, Senator Alberts and John,
nie Byrne of Columbus are said to
have made a plea for the democratic
appointees .who might possibly lose
their Mitical' jobs if Lieutenant Gov
ernor Edgar Howard succeeds as chief
executive ot tne state.
Howard is known to lean toward
the Bryan wing of the democratic
party instead of toward the Hitch
cock wing, which is the wine that
put Neville in the governor's chair.
The Neville appointments, then, -were
not all pleasing to-the lieutenant gov
ernor nor to Bryanites.
Ridgell Can't Sleep.
Fire Commissioner Riduell. it is
said, has not rested easilv a single
night -since the announcement that his
chief, to whom he owes his appoint
ment, may resign. Arthur Mullen,
who had much to do with making ,
up the list of Neville appointments,
has been wearlnsr a haunted look ainrit
June 13, when The Bee published an ,.
exclusive story of the governor's de
sire to go the the front.
Jim Bulla, J. H. Graddock . and
"Doc" J. M. Tanner, all of Omaha,
also have made their pilgrimage to
the shrine of Neville to urge him not
to rush madlv to the trenrhea
his democratic friends need him so
badly in the executive chair.
Though the governor will not say
definitely that he is going to war.
his private secretary, Lee Metcalfe,
is accustomed to rising early and tak
ing long horseback rides about Lin
coln. He has gradually drawn an en
tourage about him which amounts to
a good sized cavalcade on nice sunny
mornings. , ,
AWa With Cavalry. . ,
Sometimes he is joined by His Ex
cellency Keith Neville, who dons his
saber along; with the rest and the clan
and helps increase the clatter on the
paved streets of the capital.
Lincoln residents, including Secre
tary of State Charles Pool, who live
near Metcalfe, are awakened regu
larly by the sound of the armor and
the ring of horseshoes. Pool lika
his early snooze and the warriors'
rides disturb him.
There is- thought to he nn dnnbt-
that the governor would accept a com-.
mission ana mignt seek to do service
of a military nature if he wasa com
mon private Citizen and at liberty to
follow his inclinations. But he has
a duty to perform as governor of the
state, a duty to the people of the
state, and now his friends de
clare his duty is to stick to the execu
tive job.
Governor Neville has had military
experience in a military school anil
if commissioned would not be a no
vice by any means.
The Sixth Nebraska regiment is to
be ready to muster by July 1. Gov
ernor Neville has been mentioned as
being groomed for the colonelcy.
Major John G. Maher of Lincoln,
now stationed in the quartermaster's
department in Omaha and whose rec
ord dates from Snauish-Ameriran war
days, has been grooming the gov
