Ireland's Statement.

ST. PAUL, Nov. 1.-Archbishop Ireland
appeared somewhat surprised this evening
when he heard that General Funston of
Kansas was reported as about to sue him
for libel on account of statements attrib-
uted TO him in a Chicago interview. He
said he had made no charges against
General Funston. but had in conversation
expressed the opinion that the statements
of the San Francisco paper charging the
general with having taken a priests robe
from Philippine church should be denied
by General Funston at once, lest q failure
to deny led to a wrong impression. The
Archbishop admitted the substantial ac-
curacy of the Chicago interview. but was
not willing TO admit that he had made
any Ibelouse statements

WATER AND DITCH RIGHTS.
Los Angeles Loses Its Case Against
Pomefoy and Hooker.

The Supreme Court has reversed the
decision of the lower court in the case Of
the city Of Los Angeles against A F.
Pomeroy and. J. y. Hooker. 1t was an
action to enjoin the defendants from di-
verting water from a certain ditch, from
which the city has been drawing por-
ton of its water supply. The dam and
ditch are on property owned by Pomeroy
and Hooker In 1913 a Mexican grant was
given to one Of the Mexican settlers. to
divert a part of the water of the Los An
geIes River into a ditch. The water
rights passed down to the city and the
ownership of the land to the defendants
In 1893 an agreement between the parties
i'm interest terminated and the city ceas-
ing TO pay for the use of the water di-
version. the defendants turned the stream,
after using what they required back INTO
the natural channel of the river.
Then it was that the Injunction pro-
ceedings were begun, and in the lower
court the city won. The higher court,
however. takes a different view of the
equity and law Of the matter, holding that
while the city and all below the property
owned bv the defendants have riparian
rights. the city cannot force Pomeroy ana
Hooker to allow the water 70 run In their
ditch over their land. While the city has
a right to the water, it has no right TO the
use Of the land. The cause was remanded-
