WASHINGTON. Feb. A-secretary shaw's

II the surplus money in excess Of S50.000.-
600 working capital had been deposited In
clearing house cities in proportion to the
relative capital OF each bank therein, with
no other security than a prior lien upon

AGAINST COLORADO
Files apers to Restrain Monopoly of
Water I'm Arkansas
River.

WASHINGTON, Feb. A.-The brief Of the
STATE Of Kansas in the proceeding of that
state against the state Of Colorado to re-
strain the latter in the use .os water from
the Arkansas river was hied In the United
States supreme court today.
Z The document covers $50 printed pages.
II is claimed that the diversion OF the
waters Of the Arkansas AFFECTS $500. 900
acres Of land In Kansas, worth $780, 900, 900.
and thai much OF this land is owned by the
state itself. II is set forth that II would
be impracticable for individual owners to
institute proceedings. and 1t Is commended
t~erest. but as the party responsible for the
creation OF all ditch corporations. is the
proper respondent. II is asserted that
there is no desire to injure or harass the
state Of Colorado by the proceeding. but
that the only purpose Of the suit is to
protect the interests Of Kansas.
On this point the brief says In part;
The Arkansas river is In its natural con-
dition a generous stream and insofar as
its waters can be used In Colorado for ir-
rigation purposes and then be returned TO
the bed OF the river. and insofar IS the
waters cannot be diminished In seasons OF
flood and at others without injury to our
selves. their taking will not be resisted by
us. We wish IL UNDERSTOOD that we do not
ask or expect the destruction OF the irriga-
ton bitches heretofore constructed and
used by persons and corporations In Colo
RADIO. Doubtless some restrictions should
be placed on the use OF the water right by
this proceeding merely to prevent Colorado
diverting these waters and TO stop II from
giving authority 70 others to do 80.

HAS WRONG PAIR ARRESTED
north DakOta Chief Says MS Prison
ers Are Not Evanston
Couple.

CAssELToN. N. d. Feb. 4.-Chief Of
Police Ballard today received photographs
OF Miss Florence Ely and her nephew.
Frank Rogers. who nav been missing from
Evanston. Ill. for SONS months. The chief
at once stated that the photographs were
suficient to convince him that the woman
and boy under surveillance we're not the
ones wanted. He said that a woman and
boy who answered in a general way the
description Of the missing Evanston couple
had been in this vicinity, He had looked
up the newspaper cuts Of Miss Ely and
young Rogers and had become almost posi-
tive that he had them located. To make
assurance doubly sure he wired to Chief
o'Neil for photographs Of the missing pair.
Chief Ballard is somewhat indignant that
the Chicago ~oficials should have made the
positive statement that he had located Miss
Ely and Rogers, and Says he was never
positively convinced that he had the right
parties.

pemocratic Editor..

Thirty newspaper men today attended the
first meeting of the Nebraska Democratic
Editorial association. formed for the avowed
purpose OF assisting In the swallowing up
Of the populist party. Not a populist edi-
tor was in attendance, nor was any invited.
The meeting was behind closed doors,
merely. the program and election of officers
being given voluntarily to the public.
One OF the men who attended said tonight
that the association proposed to give con-
certed support to the movement, which has
as its ultimate object the reorganization Of
the fusion forces into one party. This re-
suit the democrats hope to accomplish by
assuming a defiant and Independent atti-
tude, thus to force the populists to come to
their terms, not as a distinct organization,
as in the past, but as member Of the demo-
cratic party.
before they can accomplish their purpose,
but they propose to pull together with the
one end In view. The meeting was given
added political significance BY the presence
OF such democratic leaders as w. J. Bryan,
r. L. Metcalfe and Edgar Howard. At the
conclusion of the afternoon session the edi-
tors were invited to the Bryan home on D
