It became known today that she had written a one-act sketch entitled “Mrs. S. Holmes, Detective,” which will be produced at Sait Lake for the first time on April 16. It is now being rehearsed here under the auspices of Mrs. Mar- garet Fealy.

CALL BUREA POST BUILDING, WASHINGTON, March 29.—Some ap- prehension was manifested today in the California Congressional delegation when it became known that Represen- tative Burton of Ohlo, chairman of the rivers and harbors committee, had made a move, having for its object the transfer of the McKinlay bill regard- ing the diversion of water of the Sacra- mento River for irrigation purposes from the Interstate commerce com- mittee to his own. Burton contends that all matters af- fecting the navigability of the water- ways of the United States should be considered by the rivers and harbors committee and so he has flled a motlon with Speaker Cannon for the transfer. The .committee on rules will report on the matter and it is likely that they will rule in favor of Burton’s conten- tion. & The members of the interstate com- merce committee seem inclined to view Burton's move philosophically, but the committeemen do not relish having im- portant pleces of legislation removed from their jurisdiction and it may be that when the rules committee’s report on the proposed transfer is brought be- fore the House a contest may be pre- cipitated. But the really important point for California is whether or not the Sacra- mento River irrigation project will be | jeopardizeda if the McKinlay bill gets into Burton's hands. Burton's attitude at present may au- thoritatively be stated as follows: As a general proposition, he is against the diversion of water of navigable | streams, even if the supervision of the irrigating schemes is to be at all times under the War Department. In the case of the Sacramento River project, he Is. inclined to belleve that the commerce above the intake or any possible future development of that commerce will not be Injured by the execution of the plans of the irrigation company. There will probably be no danger to the McKinlay bill with the War Department amend- ments if it goes to the rivers and har- bors committee, although action might be delayed upon it. The House today passed bills permitting the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway to construct bridges across the Columbla River between Douglas and Kittitas countles, Washington; across the Columbia Rliver between Franklin and Benton countles, Washington, and across Snake River betwien Whitman and Co- lumbia counties, Washington. The Presldent today sent to the Senate the following nominations: Postmasters—California, T. C. Bouldin, Azusa; J. C. Tyrrell, Grass Valley; W. D. Ingram, Linceln; M. Francis, Napa; Shelly Inch, Placerville; W. J. Hill, Sa- linas; K. B. Bummerfield, Santa Monica. The Commissioner of the General Land Office advises-Senator Flint that he has | directed that the land in Imperial Valley | be resurveyed in accordance with the re- quest of the settlers. The land is to be | surveyed in part by metes and bounds, | in accordance with a private survey that was made and thus give to each of the scttlers the land located now and oc- cupled by him rather than carry out the | original plans for surveying the land which would have resulted in many in- stances in the settlers losing part of their improvements.

March 29.—President Roosevelt has decided to reappoint W. C. Bristol as United States District Attor- ney for Oregon. The case of Bristol pre- sents some unusual and Interesting phases. . He was appointed originally as United States District Attorney for Ore- gon on excellent recommendations made to the President. These recommenda- tions were strongly concurred -in by Francis J. Heney, counsel for the Govern- ment in the land fraud cases. ‘While the nomination was pending be- fore the Senate charges bearing on Bris- tol's professional integrity were brought to the attention of the President and the Department of Justice. After considering them briefly, the President withdrew the nomination from the Senate with a view to careful investigation of the charges. Consideration of the charges was taken up by the Department of Justice. The case proved to be a very complicated one involving some - intricate legal points. It was considered carefylly by the officials of the Department of Justice and then was taken up by the President. A day or two ago the President had a conference on' the subject with Secretary Root, Secretary Taft, Secretary Bonaparte and Solicitor General Hoyt. Francis J. Heney, the Government’s special counsel, also was present at the conference. The mat- ter was threshed out thoroughly and a decision was reached that the charges made against Bristol were not well founded. The President therefore has an- nounced his intention again to send Bris- tol's name to the Senate for the Oregon district attorneyship. —_——— Best This Year Will be the special excursion to Mexico April 10. - Everything arranged.
