Show By tlie Tribune's own columns It 13 proved beyond a doubt that its story In ah alleged special dispatch, said to havo been sent from Washington, in which it was represented that Pres idont Roosevelt and Utah's representatives represent-atives at Washington had had a falling fall-ing out and wero at daggers' points, was a fako pure and s.mplo. The alleged al-leged quarrel, It was said, arose over an nmendment by Senator Sutherland to a bill regarding the control of water wa-ter to bo uso.1 for irrigation purposes ' In Dry Gulch and other parts of ths former Uintah reservation. It wa3 sa.d tho secretary for Indian affairs opposed the Sutherland amendment and that the president sided with the secretary and sat down hard on the Utah men. A couple of days later tho Tribune itself published a dispatch which for a wonder contained one fact That fact was that the bill in question had been introduced with the Sutherland Suther-land amendment and that the Indian office had receded from its position of opposing tho amendment. If there was a dispute and a hot time between tho president and tho Utah men the result would show that the president got the worst of it. As a matter of fact, the dispute existed nowhere but in tho columns of the Tribune. |
