CHEYENNE, Wyo., June 20.—State en- gineers and Representalives and Senators from Western States met in Cheyenne to- day to discuss irrigation, Government aid and the best methods of reclaiming arid lands. ~State Engineer Fred Bond of Wyoming presided over the engineers’ meeting, and Hon. H. E. Burkett of Lin- coln, Neb., was elected chairman of the Congressional meeting. George E. Tobey of Lincoln acted as secretary. Both meet- ings were more or less informal, but some | energetic discussions were had, principal- {1y on irrigation and the position of the Federal Government toward the same. | Resolutions were presented and a plan | outlined for action at the next sesslon of Congress. An effort will be made at Friday's meet- ing to agree upcn some law or pian broad enough to cover the demand in the arid States. At a joint meeting of engineers and Congressmen :o-night an exhaustive bill was drafted &overing all the points in- volved In the irrigation question in its re- lation to Congress. The proposed meas- ure, in part, is as follows: | A bill to provide for the settlement of the | arid public lands and to authorize the con- | struction of reservoirs for_the storage of water and other necessary irrigation works for arid lands reclamation, That all moneys received from the sale or disposal of public lands in Arizona, Califor- nia, Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Montana, Wyom- ing, Kansas, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexi- co, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota and Washington, beginning with the flscal year ending June 30, 1902, excepting money set aside by law for educ al purposes and excepting also the salaries of registers and receivers of the United States land offices, located within sald States and territories, shall be and are hereby reserved for the benefit of the State or Territory in which said lands are sold, to be kept as a special fund to be known as the “‘Arld Land Reclamation Fund.”” and shall be under the direction of the Secretary of the Interior for the examination, survey and con- struction of reservolrs and. other Irrigation works. Any of the States or Territories desiring to avail themselves of the provisions of the act shall enact laws accepting the conditions of this act and organize and maintain a State engineer's office with authority to plan and make estimates for reservoirs to be pald for out of the reclamation fund. The office shall also arrange for the establishment of rights to water from same. Tt shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Interior to examine plans and surveys sub- mitted by the State engineers for proposed res- ervoirs and irrigation works and approve or reject the same. Having the approval of plans, the Secretary shall cause to be set aside’ sufficient money from the reclamation fund and already credited to the State, in which the irrigation works are to be bullt to perform the work, Provision is also made in the bill for the segregation from entry of all lands upon which storage reservoirs or other irriga- | tion works are to be built as soon as the application is filed with the Secretary of the Interior. One of the vital provisions of the proposed bill is that any State ac- cepting the provisions of the act may sell the completed works to the actual con- sumers of the water only, the proceeds of such sale to be accredited to the arid land reclamation funds of the State or Terri- tory constructing such works. A banquet was given at the Inter Ocean to-night in honor of the visiting Congress- men and State Engineers. Deeds Passed in Compromise. OAKLAND, June 20.—Pursuant to the: terms of the Volney D.

The defense in the case of Willlam A. Brandes on the charge of murdering his daughter Lilllan closed to-day with the testimony of Attorney F. W. Sawyer, who identified a knife as one that was intro- duced at the former trial as the weapon with which the girl attacked her step- before the day of her death. : This evidence completes the chain of evidence upon which Brandes relies to divert suspicion from himself, the other links being the son’s testimony that Mrs. Brandes severely beat Lillian on the oc- casion of the alleged attack, and Mrs. Brandes' own statement that her testi- ;]n(my, it given, would tend to incriminate er. The defense explained the noises of sup- posed beating heard by Brandes' neigh- bors on_the night before the girl died as caused by the slamming of doors in the search for the moneyx which Lillian was accused of stealing. In rebuttal of this theory the prosecu- tion put witnesses on the stand to testify that the noises were apparently made by a soft body being thrown against the walls of the house rather than by slam- ming doors. This testimony closed the case. It was expected that Brandes would go upon the stand.in his own behalf. He has repeatedly told his jailers that he should insist upon doing s0. When the other witnesses for the defense had been exam- ined the accused cz. ed his attorney to consult with him. .ifter some minutes’ animated conversation Attorney Frick announced that the defense rested. Frick opposed the introduction of Brandes’ tes- timony at the former trial when it was offered by the prosecution earlier in the trial, but Judge Ogden decided to allow the transcript to be read to the jury on the ground that it was an admission of the prisoner touching the question of his guilt or innocence. When the case closed Deputy District Attorney Walsh_ told the court he was ready to proceed with the argument for the prosecution, but Judge Frick asked for a continuance until Monday to look over the evidence. The attorneys finally agreed to the con- tinuance. Mr. Walsh said that he could finish in one day and Judge Frick thought that the same amount of time would suffice for his argument. The State will close on Wednesday, so that on that day the case will probably go to the jury. L e e 2 e e e ) TAFT 10 EOVERN THE PHILIPINE Civil Rule Will Begin on the Fourth of July. WASHINGTON, June 20.—Civil govern- ment will be established in the Philip- pines on July 4. Judge Willlam H. Taft will be designated as Civil Governor. He will remain at the head of the Philippine Commission, which is to be continued. The order creating him Civil Governar will be issued by the President through the Secretary of War. Further details regarding the new gov- ernment are vet to be worked out. The 4th of July is not selected with a view of having an extraordinary inauguration of the new government but simply be- cause the day is deemed by the adminis- tration a good day upon which to locate what is believed to be an_auspicious event in the history of the Philippines. It is probable that members of the Philip- pine Commission will have charge of the different departments of the government. MANILA, June 20.—The provost marshai has decided to accept an ordinary bond for the release of D. M. Carman, the Cali- fornian arrested last February on charges of having furnished the insurgents with arms, ammunition and supplies. He has been héld sunder a bond of $10,000, but it was decided last month not to prosecute him at present, and he applied for a reduction of bail prior to returning to the United States. Carman has received permission to leave the islands for an indefinite period, sub- ject, however, to the call of the Govern- ment. The action of the provost marshal tends to comfirm the report already cabled of the probability of Carman’s ultimate dismissal.

The wedding of Miss Margaret Olcese and Alfred Borlini took place a little more than a year ago. While the young couple were enjoying their wedding tour in the southland Borlini confided to his wife that he had embezzled from his employ- ers, the American Bank and Trust Com- pany, a large sum of money, hoping that she would come to his rescue with her wealth and shield him from disgrace and the penitentiary. But the bride was made of sterner stuff. She realized that she had been duped, that Borlini had married her not for love but to get her to assist him out of his trouble. She did not hesitate as to which course to take. She left her hus- band immediately, coming home alone and leaving him to follow. There was nothing else for Borlini to do DVERCHARGES I HS B Army Contractor Wass Accused of Serious Frauds. A warrant was issued yesterday by United States Court Commissioner Hea- cock for the arrest of D. D. Wass on a charge of defrauding the Government. The complaint, drawn by United States Attorney Woodworth, sets forth that in November, 1899, Wass defrauded the Gov- ernment by drawing $863 on false vouchers for work alleged to have been done on the army transports Senator and the City of Peking; that the bills were sent to the Government, charging pay for twelve hours' labor per day, when the men worked only nine hours per day. The charges were brought by an ex-employe Chester. na‘{p:;is is a contractor and electrician, and had several men in his charge on electrical werk on the transports, and it was for this work that the alleged fraud- ulent vouchers were filed. Wass, when asked about the charges, said that he had simply charged for overtime and had Sonbiea the hours of overtime instead of doubling the pay, which amounted to the a thing. X s\[rtng“ been reported to the United States District Attorney that Wass sent two of his workmen to the residence of Captain John Barneson to do some electrical re- pairs and that Wass had the account made out as for the transports Senator and Peking, after having collected $1750 from Captain Barneson. Wass' bail has been set at $1000, and he will be taken be- fore United States Court Commissioner Heacock this morning to have a day set for his examination. — e DIED ALONE WITHOUT RELATIVES’ KNOWLEDGE Pioneer German Comes to His End Among Strangers and His Property Disappears. OAKLAND, June 20.—Captain B. D. Pelt, the well known navigator and pioneer San Franciscan, died at Marys- ville, Monday, under circumstances which have excited the suspicions of his rela- tives that he was not fairly dealt with by the people among wWhom his last days were spent. E. D. Van Pelt, the captain’s eldest son, came down to-day with the body to Fruit- vale, where the deceased had his resi- dence for many years. He welnt ltlo g&?‘;ys; ut four years ago to live ;’s‘xlrlxs:hagaor the benefit of his health. He had some blooded horses on the ranch and de- voted his time to their care. Mr. Van Pelt declares that the ranch people did not notify any members of -the family of his father's lilness and that a fow days before his death the captain was sent to a hospital to die alone. He further states that his father's gold watch was missing and that the people on the ranch claimed to know nothing about his horses. An investigation will follow. —_—————————— Reminds Them of Yore.

There is a sequel to the wedding of Miss Edith Henry, daughter of ex-Mayor A. C. Henry, and Frank W. McLaughlin, sec- ond officer of the transport Hancock, which occurred Monday evening at the residence of the bride's parents, 1221 Har- rison street. It is the declaration by Miss Ruth Martyn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Martyn, residing at 1030 Fifty- eighth street, that she had a prior claim on McLaughlin’s heart, and that he cast _her aside without the formality of break- ing the engagement. Miss Martyn has a batch of correspondence, which she uses as a basis for her claims that the trans- port officer was betrothed to her and she intimates that she may bring a suit for breach of promise. Miss Martyn says her acquaintance with McLaughlin began in 1899, when she was introduced to him while he was in the transport service. They became engaged and matters ran along smoothly enough until she discovered a fetter in his state- room one day that had been written by Miss Henry in very endearing style. “1 demanded an explanation,” said Miss Martyn. “‘and was assured that there was no thought on Mr. McLaughlin's part of a marriage with Miss Henry.

I have nothing against the girl he married and I feel sor- ry for her, for the prospect she faces is not a bright one. I am sure I feel glad that I am rid of such a man. All I want- ed to do was to show him up.” McLaughlin admits an engagement ex- isted, but that it was terminated at Miss Martyn’'s option. After this had occurred, according to McLaughlin, he remained on friendly terms with the family, them as he had done before.

After the votes are counted the Chief will ask the Commissioners, provided that the ma- Jjority is against it, to repeal the order. The exact day on which the voting is to take place will be agreed upon to-morrow. It is needless to say, considering the ad- verse criticism of the new order, that the majority will vote against it. Chief Sul- livan is satisfled that the proposition will be hopelessly beaten, and he will then ask the Commissioners to stand by the pres- ent system of working the men. “It would be a great injustice to the members of the force if the new order was enforced,” remarked one of the old- est men in the business yesterday. “If it were put into operation we would not be able to have our evening meal un- til after 9 o’clock, which, under the pres- ent system, is about the hour we retire to get some needed rest. “T am satisfled that about nine-tenths of the men will vote against the new order. @ il @ of the bank, who was standing with Con- tractor Bock watching the work of plac- ing the mew vault. Bock ran to whera his men were standing and hurriedly counted them over to see whether any of them had been caught in the pit. All were safe.
