ST. LOUIS TO GO TO LAW.
Grounds Upon Which She Will Try tt
Close the Drainage Channel.

Close the Drainage Channel.
Jefferson City, Mo-, Jan. GATOR
ney General Crow is preparing to in
stitute proceedings in the supreme
court of the United States to stop the
people of Chicago from the alleged
polluting of the waters Of the Missis-
sippi river by means of the sewage Of
the Chicago canal. In stating the
grounds upon which he will proceed
Grow said in part:
"The state has a direct interest; first,
because the health of the citizens Of
the great city Of st. Louis is directly
menaced; second, because thousands of
our citizens, outside of ST. Louis, live
upon the banks of this largest of in
land rivers and are forced to use it's
waters. Injury to the purity or quail
ty of the water of flowing stream, to
the detriment of riparian owners, con-
stitutes a nuisance, as much as per-
manent obstruction.
"Our state has jurisdiction Of the
water Of the Mississippi river to the
middle of the main channel: and hence,
in my opinion, it is within the power Of
the state of Missouri to protect these
waters from pollution in order to pre-
serve the health Of our citizens. The
protection of the health of citizens Of
state is perhaps one Of the highest
duties of the state government He
will apply to the United States su-
preme court for an injunction.

56th CONGRESS,
Clark Case Proves a Puzzle
to the Senate.
The Situation Unparalleled in the His
Of that Body.
Committee on Privileges and Elections Will
Meet. Friday. TO Discuss Case.

Washington. May lG.-Whilc there is
much discussion among senators of the
status Of Senator Clark of Montana,
there has not been sufficient crystal
ization Of sentiment u justify a con
clusion ns to what the final result may
be. \ meeting of the committee on
privileges and elections has been call
cd for next Friday to consider what
course shall be pursued in view Of
Senator C!ark's resignation with refer
ence to the committee resolution de-
clarinS the seat vacant. The members
of the committee say that they are not
now prepared to predict what course
the committee will recommend.
The present purpose is to move the
reference Of the senator's credentials
when they are presented to the SEN
ate to the elections committee. The
indication at present is that this ref
crcnCc will be opposed by some Of Mr..
Clark's friends. who take the position
that If this disposition b. made Of the
credentials 1t viii be for the purpose
Of So delaying Il report as to prevent
action upon the case during the pres
ent session and thus practically pre-
vent Mr.. Clark's resuming his seat ht
all. as a new Legislature will be con
vencd in Montana. next January,
month after the opening of the next
session Of Congress.
It il admitted that the purpose Of
moving the reference Of credentials
will be found in the desire to investi-
gate the question involved in the APP
pointment. 1t is thought by some
senators that GOV. Smith will have a
presentation Of facts to make which it
will be necessary to consi Ter. The res
ignation and appointment constituted
almost the exclusive topic Of CONVEX
sation among senator's today. The
situation is unparalleled in the Senate.
