Supports Borah in His Ef-
fort to Get More Money
for Reclamation Work.
BORAH EXPLAINS
THE OPPOSITION
"Washington D. C Jan. 8. Senator
Borah's plan for pushing to 'completion
all of the government's irrigation proj-
ects so as to bring immediate relief to
settlers on the reclaimed lands of the
west has -won the endorsement of pres-
ident Taft. The senator as a result is
greatly encouraged in his campaign to
place the reclamation work ou a new
and sound financial basis.
The senator calledat the white house
at the invitation of president Taft.
Mr. Borah told the president of the
bill he has introduced providing for a
bond issue of 30000000 'for the finan-
ing and completion at once of 27 exist-
ing .reclamation undertakings. He de-
scribed the urgent need of bringing the
entire work to a speedy conclusion ou
account of the hundreds of settlers who
have taken up homesteads in the re-
claimed areas and now are facing the
possibility of waiting years before
water can be brought to thelrland. The
president expressed the utmost concern
over this situation" which was placed
in a new light by the senator's state-
ments. Explains Opposition to Bill.
Mr. Borah dnformed the president that
the opposition that so far has developed
to his bill arisesfrom the reluctance to
authorize additional bond issues. A
good many memoers oi congress iavor j
the issuance of certificates of Indebted- I
ness against individual projects. The
senator strongly opposes the certifi-
cates which he maintains will be of
doubtful value and difficult to market
compared with bonds.
Since this talk president Taft has
told western senators who were inter-
ested in the reclamation work that he
will recommend in his special message
to congressipn conservation which wllL
be sent to the capitol on Monday of next
week that congress authorize a loan of
$30000000 to be floated either as short
term bonds or certificates of Indebted-
ness to secure the necessary money to
complete the existing reclamation pro-
jects. The money is to be repaid to the
government from the proceds received
from the sale of reclaimed lands.

JAPAN REJECTS U. 5.
MANCHURIAN PLANS
Tokio Japan Jan. S. Leading newspapers tomorrow will disapprove of
the acceptance by Japan of secretary Knox's proposition for a neutralization
of MancHHrfan railways.
The concensus of opinion here is that It Is Impracticable because Japan
would not receive a benefit proportion ate with the sacrifice Involved.
The Japanese government is bow conferring vrttU" Russia and the tenor of
the Japanese reply will depend largely upon the attitude taken at St. Peters-
hBrg. It Is generally believed here that Rnssia will decline to accept the Ameri-
can suggestion. .
It Is reported from Pekln that Great Britain has agreed ln"princlple to
the American proposal of the neutralise atlon of the Manchurlan railways.

had been served on his arrival with pa-
pers in a suit oi the Wright brothers

Los Angeles however and stated that
when the action comes up he would be
represented by his counsel Clarence J.
Shearn and that he would take such
steps as he deemed necessary to protect
his rights and permit him to fly his ma-
chines in this country.

Bleriots and two Farmans are now on i
their way to Los Angeles by fast ex-
press and it is expected that they will
reach there today or Sunday. As soon j
as they arrive Paulhan's squad of
French mechanlscians assisted by as j
many more mechanlscians as are neccs- I
sary will get to work assembling the
various parts and setting the machines
up ready for the series of flights that j
Paulhan and his colleagues are to make.

Mr. Taft Dismisses Persona!
Friend of Roosevelt and
Scores Him Warmly
HOUSE SITS ON
THE SPEAKER
Decides to Elect Its Own
Cominitteef to Investigate
Secretary Ballinger.
.
Washington T. C. Jan. 8. GIfford
Pinchot chief forester of the United
States yesterday is a private citizen to-
day apparently unconcerned and smil-
ing but political Washington almost
trembles to think what may be the re-
sult jr
The summary dismissal conveyed last
night In . the president's letter has
brought from Mr. Pinchot -nothing more
than the simple statement. "I would
prefer to say nothing at this time" but
Pinchot today In tke opinion of many
becomes the pivot on which tne insur-
gent fight with the administration can
turn its guns.
The effect of Pinchot personal friend
of Roosevelt and head champion of the
Roosevelt conversation policies being
ousted from the official family of pres-
ident Taft is another of the phases of
conjecture which fill the air.
The effect of Pinchofs dismissal up-
on the congressional investigation of
secretary Ballinger and the land office
Is another.
" Where It WiU End.
In the ominous silence which fell n
the whole situation following the first
"bang' after the cabinet meeting yes-
terday many political forecasters see
unmistakable signs of a great tempest
within the Republican party with a
ramification which some of the most
sanguine fear to think about.
There is only one conclusion upon
which all are unanimous. That asp-that
there is a great fight on. hand one
which the president has sought to avoid
for the present at least and in forc-
ing It at this time by the dismissal of
Pinchot the president's supporters
maintain that Mr. Taft has considered
all the probable effects and has decided
to see it through.
McCahe Sacceeds Ptachat.
George P. McCabe solicitor of th
agricultural department called on Mr.
Pinchot in his office this morning and
presented a letter 'from secretary Wil-
son which designated McCabe as act-
ing forester. Albert F. Potter who pre-
vdojasly had been designated being ia
the west it became necessary to name
someone else. Mr. Pincnat gave Mc-
Cabe a hearty welcome and said he was
ready at once to turn over the bureau.
RoHsIng Farewell.
Word was then passed- around that
Pinchot was about to leave the build-
ing and scores of employes gathered in
the assembly room. Mr. Pinchot met
them his entrance "being signalized by
deafening applause. No candidate re-
turning from a successful campaiga
was ever greeted by a mc-e enthusiastic
demonstration? Mr. Pinchot bade fare-
well to all and a little later left tha
building.
Things Dolngr.
Washington D. C Jan. 8. Things
happened rapidly in the national capi-
tal yesterday afternoon. President Taft
dismissed chief forester Pinchot and
two of his assistants without cere-
mony and congress amended the reso-
lution of the house for an Investiga-
tion of the Balllnger-Pinchot contro-
versy by .declaring that the house
should elect the investigation commit-
tee. A combination of "insurgent" Repub-
licans and Democrats defeated the Re-
