KANSAS VERSUS COLORADO
SUIT in THE SUPREME COURT

Washington. d. c.. May 14.-Colora-
do secured decided advantage in the
United States Supreme Court yester-
day in the Initiative proceedings of the
suit brought against the state by the
state Of Kansas. The court. departing
from Its customary practice, permitted
the defendant 10 file petition and argu-
ment thereon In opposition to the mo-
tton Of the con. plainant to file its bill in
equity.
The action Of the court is regarded
by Attorney General Post as a sub
stantial victory for Colorado. and in
his opinion prcsages the ultimate dis
mfssal of the Kansas suit.
Assistant Attorney General f. r.
Ware presented n motion ON behalf Of
Kansas to file bill in equity enjoining
Colorado citizens from diverting the
waters of the Arkansas. Attorney
General Post interposed his motion
that the court could consider his petit
ton and argument against filing the
bill. The court made an order permit
ting the complainant TO file his motion
and argument, and also decided that
the petition and argument of defend
ant be filed.

to the proceedings, but remarked that
the brief might be left with the clerk
and the court would read it.
The court will sit again during the
present term, May 20th and 9th, and
will then adjourn until October. A
decision in the Colorado-Kansas case
is not expected this term.
Mr.. Ware declared that the Arkan-
sas trayersed the state of Kansas for
80 miles, and that 100000 people OWL
ing 100000 acres of land are affected
by the appropriation of the waters of
the stream for irrigation purposes. He
claimed protection for residents of
Kansas under the common law guar
anteeing riparian rights. He asserted
that Colorado claims the right to d.
vert the water TO riparians and non
riparians, whence ii never returns to
the river, thus appropriatng all the
water which nature had intended
should flow down the Arkansas valley.

HARVEY B. YOUNG, THE
NOTED ARTIST, DEAD

Denver, May 14.-Harvey B. Young
the noted Colorado landscape artist,
died yesterday at his home in Colorado
Springs after an Illness Of about Il
week Of congestion of the lungs. He
leaves widow and four children. The
eldest. George, twenty-five years OF
age, IL engaged in mining, and is also
thought TO possess much Of his faith
er's talent as an artist. The Oldest
daughter, Miss Beatrice Young, is well
known in society in Denver and Colo
RADIO Springs. Mr.. Young's other
daughters are Gwendolyn and Gladys.
The Republican this morning says:
Harvey B. Young was born in Post
mills, Vermont, about fifty-five years
ago. His first work with the brush
was the painting of designs that used
to be feature Of scales. Just when
he realized that it was MS an artist
that he was to distinguish himself is
uncertain. 1t was his success in min
ing ventures that first brought him be-
fore the Colorado people. He had,
however, already exhibited pictures in
the East that attracted very favorable
comment. In 1871 he went to Paris,
spending five of six years there and
In Munich, studying under Pelouse and
Lambinet. He went as the protege of
the wealthy shoe mar Rfacturer, James
II. Burt. When he returned TO the

cities on the Arkansas are deprived of
water for sewage, and that in reality
the rich valley Is transformed into 4
desert
Attorney General Post responded by
calling attention to the fact that the
ditch owners of Colorado have not
been made parties TO the case, and
that the Arkansas river In Kansas is
not navigable stream. He said that
no riparian ownership rights were ever
exercised or recognized In Colorado,
and also calls attention to the fact
that when some of the Colorado rights
were acquired, the territory now en-
braced in that state was part of
Kansas. He said that each state had
the right to utilize its own waters for
the benefit Of its own people.
Ex-Governor Thomas of Colorado,
who has been employed as special
counsel on behalf of that state in the
case, was present.
The contest between Colorado and
Kansas for the control of the Arkan-
sas river will be watched with intense
interest by the people OF the entire
West.
1t is possible that the court will de-

streams which are tributary to nav
igable rivers belong to the general gov
ernment, and such a decision will
overturn the established custom of the
whole irrigated region of the WCet.
Should it decide that all states having
portions of the same streams within
their boundaries are entitled to eQuit-
able division of the waters, interstate
boards of water commissioners will
have TO be created in the West for
such adjudication.
Should the contention of . Kansas
prevail, Colorado will be In bad way,
for not only will Kansas enjoin Colo
radoans from using the water of the
Arkansas, but Wyoming will prevent
them from using the North Platte and
Laramie rivers. and New Mexico will
enjoin use of the Rio Grande; Nebras-
ka will lay claim to the South Platte.
and Utah to the Green, White, Grand
and Dolores.
ON the other hand, II Colorado es-
tablishes the contention that a state
in which stream has its source has
prior claim to its waters, the state will
hold the vantage over every neighbor,
for nearly all the great streams Of the
West have their sources in Colorado.
