WILL DEFEND COLORADO'S
WATER RIGHTS In WASHINGTON

Denver, Colo. May 6.-Attorney Gen
crsll Charles c. Post has gone to Wash
ington. u. c., to represent the state of
Colorado before the Supreme Court of
the United States May 18th, when the
state of Kansas will file n motion for
leave to file suit in equity against
Colorado to prevent the diversion of
the waters of the Arkansas river.
The attorney general will file the pc
ution of the state of Colorado for
leave to file a brief against the motion
of the state of Kansas. In this petit
ton is traced the history of the terri
tory from the time of the Louisiana
purchase and the organization of the
territory of Kansas in 1854. 1t is set
forth that by reason of prior settle
ment and occupation, people living
along that part OF the Arkansas river
now embraced within the limits of the
state of Colorado acquired rights to
the waters OF the river. The court is
asked to adjudicatc these rights with
out making these residents of Colorado
parties TO the bill. Other points in the
motion are:
The state OF Kansas owns but small
part of the land in the Arkansas val
ley and that other owners are not par
ties to the bill. The stream is not navi-
gable and greater riparian rights can
not be maintained. The state of Kan
sas seeks TO enjoin the legislation of
Congress enacted 10 promote the set
tlement and development of United
States lands in Colorado. The decision
asked for would ahrocate state legisla-
tion Of Kansas in regard TO irriga ton.
\ favorable decision ON the bill would
be to enjoin Colorado from exercising
her functions of statehood. State SOW
ereiCnty cannot be enforced to protect
riparian rights. The brief Sslys:
Every arid land state including the
complainant, having in view its own
necessities, has passed laws abrocatins

FEARFULLOSS OF LIFE
IN THE PHILIPPINES

New York, May 4.-Brigadier Gener-
al Bell, who has just arrived in Wash
'ington from the Philippines, where he
was in command of four departments
of southern LuZon, is quoted In u
Times special as saying:
"One-siXth of the natives of LuZon
have either been killed or have died
of the dengue fever in the last wo
years. The loss of life by killing alone
has been very great, but L think that
not one man has been slain except
where his death served the legitimate
purposes of war. 1t has been neces-
sary to adopt what in other countries
would probably seem harsh measures.

lone of my sentinels was beheaded
within $50 yards of my headquarters.
Ills eXecutioner was n boloman, who
came into camp disguised as fruit
vender. He had his bolo hid in his
basket, and at the opportune moment
drew it and with one blow cut of the
sentinels head.
1.-The Filipinos in my district were in
the habit of stopping the wagons of ma
tives and imposing il tax of one Amer
lean dollar on each load of hemp. Ere
quent complaints We're made to me,
ana one uay sent captain hahu'
Forty-fifth infantry, to stop the prac-
tice. He and six men concealed them
selves in covered wagon. When
they We're held up they opened fire on
the insurgents, and five of them We're
killed After that there was no more
leyying of taxes.
1.-The insurgents also caused us much
trouble by tampering with our tele-
graph, and for n while We We're obliged
to treat every one outside of our lines
as an enemy If man was caught
within $50 yards of Il telegraph pole,
he was shot. On one occasion six Fill
pinos We're found dead holding to Il
wire which they had wrapped around
Il tree. No one knew who shot them,
but their fate was sufficient to keep
any of their comrades from tamperinS

proved by this court in the case of the
United States against the Rio Grande
Irrigation Company. The court has eN-
amined the rule of the common law.
which provides that every riparian
owner is entitled to the continuous
natural flow of the stream. and has
stated that every state has the power
within its dominion to change the rule
and to permit the appropriation of the
flowing waters for such purpose as it
deems wise.
For at least thirty-tive years these
rights have been enjoyed in Colorado.
and property of enormous value has
been acquired. Now comes an appli-
cation for the decree of the court,
which. in effect. shall declare that peo-
pie mot before this court must forego
the right TO their usual pursuits and
usual business. and permit their prop
erty TO become absolutely destroyed
and the lands that have been cultivat-
ed for years to return TO their desert

Boulder, Col, Nov. 23.-Dr. William
Duane, professor of physics at the
state university, has patented an in
vention by which a large number of
telegraph messages can be sent over
one wire and each return at the same
time. In the physical laboratory at
the university it is said he has had as
many as IS circuits working on the
same wire and return all at the same
time. On any of these circuits the
Morse instrument can be placed and
used exactly as with the single wire
now in use. DR.. Duane'e invention is
based on the principle of synchroniz-
ing motors.

Undergone u Complete Change.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 23.-For the
second time within six months the
city government of Pittsburg is about
to undergo an entire change. Mai.
A. nj. Brown, appointed city recorder
last April by Gov. Stone, has been re-
quested to step down and out by the
chief executive of the state. and j.
o. Brown, formerly director of public
safety under the old regime, will as
sumo the duties of the office. The
change in recorders will be followed
by the restoration to their old places
of the 100 or more city officials re-
Gently removed by Maj. Brown. The
upheaval is the result of n fight for

and the old republican organization
under the leadership of State Sena-
tor William Flynn.
