John A. Hoff, 2S years old, OF sos West
Ninety ghth street, the manager Of an
automobile garage at 3O4 West Forty mi n tn
street, was in the West Side court yester-
day, charged with assault and larceny.
The complainant, William F.. Coughlin OF
1872 West Sixty-irst street, city marshal
appeared with bandaged arm and shoulder
Coughn said that he went to the garage
to execute judgment against an s., 900
automobile that was kept there. The
machine stood in the street, lust in front Of
the garage, when he arrived. Hon recog-
nized Coughlin as he approached, and
guessed what he was after. As there was
payment due Hoff for three months storage
OF the machine, he began TO hustle 1t into
the garage before Coughlin sei2edit. Other
wise he would have had no lien on it for the
storage charges.
Coughlin tried to prevent Hoff from get
ting the machine inside, and scuffle FOL-
lowed. Coughlin came out Of it with a
dislocated arm. He alleged that Hofr seized
his right arm and showed it back over his
head dislocating it,
Hoff said that when he refused to obey
Coughlin's order to let the car alone Cough
lin drew a revolver and a club and made
for him. In self-defence, Hof says, he
grabbed Coughlin's right arm and showed
II up, 80 that he would not be hit if the re-
volver went off.
Magistrate Mayo put the case over for
further examination.

ally all or the aDuSeS ana oV1lS WILL which the settlement of this Valley ha' been attended.
 We refer to the agency system and the speculative sydicate. It is claimed that on Il great deal of it's business, the Cali fornla Development Company paid fifty per cent in com missions, while in other cases it only received three or four dol lars per share for water stock that wa' sold by the speculator for twenty dollars per share. These facts are recited be cause it is felt by some that as they paC twenty dollars per share for their water stoc :, under the belief that it was water rights, any discussion on the subjec which goes to show the nature ano character of water rights might resul in depreciation of their property.
 To any such we wish to state tha nothing of the kind will result. Whel these matters are made clear, and the rights of all parties set forth, it will b' seen that this outcome has been the re suit of the original error in accepting the stock of these ImpeIial water com panies as "water rights"> complete, in stead of simply the privileges by whicl "water rights" might be obtained.
 In this connection we should state that when the circumstances are all con sidered it was but natural fol the promoters of the California Develop ment Company to believe that they had complied with every legal requirement in the way of obtaining title to the waters of the Colorado river.
 Some of the most eminent attorneys in this state told them they had, and if was but natural for them to believe it and to act upon that belief. They may have been right at that time, for it might be that with the water laws in the condition they then were, the courts would have held that water could be owned apart from land.
 However, before any court had ever been invoked or any ruling made on thls point, the Congress of the United States did on June l7, 1902, enact the National Irrigation law. In this law the great national policy is outlined for the use of the waters of the arid west for the rec,a- nation of it's desert lands.
 The fundamental principle enuncated in this law establishes beneficial use of the water on a specific tract of land as q prerequisite to the creation of water "right" for that land, and limits the amount of water any tract of land can claim to the amount necessary for it's beneficial irrigation.
 This law is directly hostile to the doc Urine of private ownership of water apart from land, and as soon as operations were begun on the Colorado river by the United States Reclamation Service the California Development Company felt that its claim to ow nership of the waters of that river had been challenged.
 Then followed the introduction of the Daniels bill into Congress, and it's advo-
The Imperial press., 1905-04-01

cacy for the purpose of quieting title to the waters of the stream and validating the water appropriation of the Calfor- mia Development Company under the laws of California.
 After strenuous and enlightening discussion before the Committees of Congress regarding the matter, Congress did on April 2S, 1904, pass q joint reso-
 ution as follows: "Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Con- gross assemb bled, that the Secretary of the Interior is hereby directed to insti- ute an investigation of and report to the Congress on the various questions involved in connection with the use of the waters of tue lower Colorado river for the irrigation of arid lands in the state of California and the territory of Arizona, with the view of determining the extent to which the waters of the said stream may be made available for the said purpose through works under the national irrigation act and by pr- vate enterprise, ant as to what legisIa- tion, if any, is necessary to grant or con firm to present, and future appropria- tors and users thereof, perpetual rights to the use of said waters for irrigation"
 This investigation was intrusted to the Director of the Geological Survey, and by him conducted through the local officials of the Reclamation Service. This investigation was thorough and able, going into all the phases of the questions involved very fully.
 Concerning the particular question under discussion, the report, after re- ferring to tangles in which water appro- priations on the upper Colorado river and it's tributaries had become involved, and mentioning that various methods had been adopted by the states of WyO- ming, Colorado and Utah for settling disputes concerning these waters, says: "The lower part of the stream, however, being navigable, is under the control of the United States, and diversions of water, though tolerated, have not been expressly sanctioned by law or by exec utive action. Various ditches have been constructed to take water from the navigable part of Colorado river, and in one case permission was sought from the Secretary of War. Reply was made that the Secretary of War declined to grant formal permission, but informed the company applying that the War Department would not interfere with it's operations, provided they were so con ducted as not injuriously to affect the interests of navigation."
 We are informed that the California Development Company is the company referred to above, and recall the state ment made above that said company endeavOred to comply with every re- quirement necessary to give them ownership to the waters diverted from said stream by themselves. The report states further, 'that the control of diversions (of wate) from the Colorado river to lands in Arizona and California is obviously under the administrative supervision of the United States".
