At that tlmo there was" about a foot and" a half of water and mud in the basement. Water si ill was coming down from Cave creek, through the Arizona nnl flrand canals at 7 o'clock tonight, but the volume was so diminished that It was being diverted at the Salt river canal, one of the smaller canals of the district, and was not reaching the capitol ground).

The attitude of the department is understood to have 'ceen set forth several days ago to representatives uf some of the American oil companies, who commuiueaiec to the department a decision to confer directly with Mexican olficiaia with a view to reduction in the recently imposed petroleum export tax.

He asserted that the president was brought Into the debate to prevent passage of the bill, and that his action was without authority under the constitution. "It were well if that black page in the senate's history could be destroyed and forever forgotten," Mr. La Follette declared.
