CAPTION OF THE BILL
For Extension of City Limits May
Appear To-day.

Appear To-day.
The chairman of the Special Commit
tee on the Extension of the City Linn
it's turned over to Mr.. S. B. Adams,
city attorney, the report of the COM
mittee yesterday, and it is expected
that Mr.. Adams will have the caption
of the bill that is to be presented in
the Legislature in readiness for publ
cation this afternoon.
A member of the committee, in dis
cussing the proposed extension, said
that it is not so great. in comparison,
as that made southwark from Ander-
son street to Forty-second some years
ago. He regards the territory that is
now to be taken in as more thickly set
tied than that taken in last.
The extension on the north, which
will include all of Hutchinson's Island
and all of Fig Island, the alderman
pointed out, is the greatest of those on
the four cardinal sides. A natural
boundary on the north was wanted, so
the committee decided to make it the
north shore of Hutchinson's Island.
The alderman named what would
seem a strong reason for taking in the
Seaboard Air Line terminals on Hutch
inson's Island. They are practically in
the city already, being but few
hundred yards from the greatest BUSH
ness center They do a heavy bust
ness because of this proximity and
have seriously interfered with the
terminal and storage business in the
city.
There has been considerable dim
mutton in the value of property on
River street, the alderman said, since
the establishment of the Seaboard Air
Line terminals on Hutchinson's Island.
Some of the buildings on the south
bank Of the river that were occupied
before the establishment of the termin-
ais are now vacant, and their value has
been impaired. They cannot appar-
emily, be rented, so that the city VIII
have to reduce the assessed valuation.
This loss must be made good The
only way open is for the city to extend
it's limits, the alderman said, to take
in the terminals that has caused the
depreciation in the value of the prop
erty on the south bank. Cotton, he
declared, is stored free of charge by the
Seaboard on the island, causing more
the river to go out of the storage bust
ness. The only recourse the city has,
he said, is to extend.
The alderman is confident of the
adoption of the report of the commit
tee. The three members of the COM
mittee are united upon the report Two
of them wanted to make even a great
er extension than that mapped out. but
finally decided to reduce their ideas
somewhat.
Objections from some of the property
owners to be affected are looked for by
the alderman, but he does not appre-
bend that they will be of sufficient
weight to defeat the measure, either
In Council or before the legislature. He
blieves. too, that the report will be
adopted by Council as submitted, and
that there will be no drawing in of the
limits. IT has been said that the pro-
posed limits were made to reach so
far in order that Council might have
play" for them, yielding to protests,
if they became too vigorous and draw
ing the new lines nearer to the old.
This the alderman denies emphatically

MORE STONE WALKS.
Alderman Watson Is Extending His
Scheme of Improvements.


The force of PAYERS has finished
putting down the sidewalks of artifi-
cial stone through Wright Square, on
Bull street, and has gone to Madison
Square, where work was begun yester-
day. The north and south walks in
that square, as have tSose in Chippe-
wa and Wright squares, will be laid
with artificial stone.
When the force has finished the
walks in Madison Square, Alderman
Watson, chairman of the Streets and
Lanes Committee, said, it will go to
Green Square, Houston and Pres, 1ent
streets, where there is a sad need of
walks. They will be constructed there,
to. of artificial stone. Then, Alderman
Watson said, If the money at the dis
posal of the committee for the work
of artificial stone paving holds out,
the force will out down north-and-
south walks of that material in Monte
rey Square, Bull street, thus complet-
ing the scheme for that street.
The walks in Johnson Square, the
fifth Bull street square, are of blue
fiagstones. Those in the other squares
were of brick. The Improvement
of the squares has been in rath-
er piecemeal manner. The
chairman OF the committee did not
know at first just how much money
would be available for the work, so he
stated that it would probably be con.
fined for this season to Chippewa
square, where it was commenced. He
then transferred the force to Wright
square, agin saying that he thought it
unlikely that other squares would be
included in the scheme this season.
The people will appreciate the general
improvement greatly, however, and
satisfaction is felt in the good results
OF the expenditure. Great pride is
taken in Bull street, and the attrac-
tive and easy walks are welcomed

KANSAS MAKES COMPLAINT
The Draining of the Arkansas River
in Colorado Harmful

TOPEKA, Kan. March 19.-CoIorado is
apprOpriating all the water In the Arkan-
sas River and Attorney General Wood
ard, Of Kansas. today began suit in the
Federal Court to restrain the citizens Of
Colorado from appropriating the waters
of the Arkansas River for irrigation pur-
poses.
For several years the farmers along the
Arkansa River in this State have been
agitating the necessity OF taking some
action against Colorado. The great irri-
CATION companies operating in that State
in the neighbOrhood OF Rocky Ford use
practically the entire flow of the Arkan-
sas River during the summer months
when the water is most needed by the
agricultural and cattle interests of this
State.
Concerted action was not reached until
recently, when a meeting was held at Ar
kansas city and it was then decided to
ask the State to bear the expenses of a
suit against Colorado to prevent the de-
pletion of the water supply of the river
1t was urged that unless some action OF
this kind was taken the agricultural and
cattle interests Of the State would be per-
manently injured. as the low stage of
water in the river during the summer
months made it difficult TO raise crops
even in the bottoms and prevented cat
tlemen from getting water for their stock

MANY ACTS OF INJUSTICE.
The BASIS of the American Claims
Against Morocco.

The claims of the United States against
the Government of Morocco, which Mr..
Gummere, the Consul General at Tan
gier, viii presumably lay before the Sui
tan when he goes to Morocco City, are
many and diverse. The claimants are
nearly ali American citizens of Moorish
nativity, engaged in farming and other
occupations in Morocco. They have been
treated badly in a great many instances
and the Sultan's Government has failed
to assist them in obtaining justice.
Some of the claimants are MOors who
have never become American citizens.
but who are employed by citizens of the
United States. While in such employ
ment they hold "seimsars" or certificates
of protection, signed by this Government,
and are regarded for the time being as
having the rights of American citizens.
This condition is recognized by the treaty
between Morocco and most of the civil
lied nations, including the United States.
Some of the claims are based on thefts
of cattle. sheep, and crops by bands of
Moorish nomads. One claim is for the
destruction of a mill and others are for
the amounts of promissory notes given
by subjects of the Sultan. The aggregate
of the claims is comparatively insignifi-
cant. 1t is the principle of compelling
Morocco to give justice to American citi-
zens that the State Department seeks to
emphasize in sending Mr.. Gummere to
Morocco City with the armored cruiser
New York at MaZigan. the nearest port,
to back up his demands
