KANSAS VERSUS COLORADO
SUIT in THE SUPREME COURT

Washington, d. c.. May 14.-Colora-
do secured decided advantage in the
United States Supreme Court yrSter-
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 to file petition and argu-
ment thereon in opposition to the mo-
ton of the complainant 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 presages the ultimate dis
missal of the Kansas suit.
Assistant Attorney General +. F..
Ware presented a motion on behalf Of
Kansas to file bill in equity enjo!nng
Colorado citizens from divertin@ 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.
Plat Rogers. representing the Great
Plains Water Storage Company of Col
oradO, asked permission to file an adj
ditional brief against complainant i'll
ing its bill. The court denied pcrmis.
sion. holding the company not n party
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 10th 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 traversed the state of Kansas for
80 miles, and that 100000 people own
ing 2.bO0.OO0 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 di-
vert the water to riparians and non-
riparians, whence it never returns to
the river. thus appropriating all the
water which nature had Intended
should flow down the Arkansas valley.

that he was to distinguish himself In

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
Lnmbinet. He went as the protege OF
the wealthy shoe manufacturer, James
ii. Burt. When he returned 90 the
United States he won recognition by
his paintings.
Then he went to California, not to

beast is injuriously affected: that the
cities on the Arkansas are deprived of
water for sewage, and that in reality
the rich valley is transformed into a
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
We're 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.

streams which are tributary to nav

overturn the established custom OF the
whole irrigated region of the West.
Should 1t 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
