PASS SPRTNKLING BILL.
The ASsembIymen Are Kind to the
Prentice Measure.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. ]


Albany May 2-Assemblyrnan Prentice's
street sprinkling measure. the introduction Of
which was forced by the refusal of the commit
tee to let out the La Fetra bill ostensibly intro
duced for the same purpose earlier in the ses-
sion, passed the Assembly to-day
When the Prentice bill was introduced Mr.
La Fetra expressed surprise and indignation,
but took the hint nevertheless. and induced the
committee to report out his bill Immediately.
The Prentice bill had precedence, however, and
kept the lead. Now there viii be no further
need of Mr.. La Fetra's measure.
Mr.. La Fetra's bad faith over the bill has pro-
volzed general comment and is believed to be due
TO the fact that a contract is involved He in
troduced mis- bill in January, allowed it to slum-
Der until February, and refused move II when
Commissioner Woodbury. came to Albany to re-
quest it, declaring the Commissioner had not
shown him the respect due Charles z. Nurphy's
representative. He finally smoked out" by
the Prentice measure but even then used every
method to defeat the bill. refusing to move it
ure. The bill was advocated by Mayor McClel-
Ian, President Haines Of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals and by Commits
sioner Woodbury..
A full opportunity was granted the Tammany
members to pass the bill, and, now, as has hap
pened in several cases this session, the measure
desired by Mayor Mcclellan is passed by Repub-
ncan votes after having been held up by Tam
many.
Although in contrast with many pending mat
tiers minor bill, il has been regarded of great
importance TO the pedestrian. the driver and the
owner OF an automobile alike The bill is sim
pie in character and simply gives Commissioner
Woodbury's department 4 supervisory power
over the sanding and sprnkng Of the streets
with the idea of avoiding the flood and drouth
system now in vogue.

REPORT MAY BE CHARGE.
State Bar Counsel Hints at action
an Hooker Case.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIRrNE.l


Syracuse, May William P Goodelle as
counsel for the State Bar Association in the
prosecution of Justice Warren &. Hooker will go
to Albany on Thursday for conference to de-
termine further action.
In determining what shall be the method of
procedure under Section II of Article 6 of the
Constitution" said Mr.. Goodelle, ut must be re-
membered that no proceedings have yet been
taken up on formal charges preferred. I have
no doubt that the report of the judiciary Com
mittee of the Assembly will be considered the
formal charges. Justice Hooker is entitled to a
hearing If he demands 1t after charges have
been preferred, and in that event the evidence
would have to be taken over again The re-
moval must be brought about by concurrent
resolution by the vote of two-thirds of all the
members of both houses. Thus it is necessary
for both houses to act. The charges may be re-
ferred to the judiciary Committee Of the As
sembly and to the judiciary Committee Of the
Senate, which may sit together, rehear the evil
dence and each report It's conclusions to its re-
speCtive House"

LAW WILL NOT BENEFIT CITY.
James F. Lemaier Criticises Measure In
ereasing Railroad Commissioners.

James F. Lehmaier treasurer Of the executive
committee Of the Transit Reform Commission of

The TuIIy bill providing for increase in the
State Railroad Commission has passed the Senate
to-day. and will doubtless be urged through the
Assembly The bill j. being pushed under the pre-
tence that increase OF the state Railroad Com
mission will be advantageous TO the people Of the
city as it is said that the Governor viii appoint
two additional members Of the State Railroad Board
from this city. 1t is a matter OF little moment
whether the State Railroad Board consists of three
or ten members, but il should be understood that
the allied civic organizations do not regard the
Tully bill as in any sense af1oTdng relief TO the
evils from which now and have for long
time been suffering.

FIsHERMEN's RIGHTS.
Shall They Follow Streams on Private
Property?

Denver.-The Supreme Court has
been hearing arguments in the, Gunni-
son county fishing case. rising from
the Intervention of the attorney gen.
erals Office on behalf of the state. AT
ter the recent decision of the Supreme
Court. holding that an individual had
no right to fish in streams crossing pri-
vate property. the state complained
that it had not been given opportunity
to appear and asked leave to intervene,
which was granted.
C. ID. Hayt. Platt Rogers and Ralph
Talbot are acting as friends OF the
court in the matter, having volunteered
their services upon invitation. and will
submit a comprehensive brief in the
case. Judge ID. c. Beaman, Charles S.
Hughes and Shackelford Sprigg of
Gunnison argued in support of the pre-
vious decision. l. b. Melville. assist
ant attorney general, Thomas Ward
and Ethelbert Ward argued for the
state.
Mr. Melville. speaking for the state,
held that the constitution declares the
waters of a natural stream TO belong
to the public and that the Court of APP
peals in the Hornbeke case decided
that the fish belonged TO the state. For
the reason that the waters are public
and the fish belong to the state. he
contended that fishermen should have
a right to fish in the streams.
A second point was that under the
common law all streams capable of be-
ing used to float ties. etc, are termed
navigable. and other courts have held
that all persons have right to fish in
navigable streams.
The state in its argument does not
ask that fishermen be allowed TO go on
the banks of streams. and 1t is not con
tended that the Legislature ever IN
tended they should, but only that fish
ermen have right to walk in the bed
of the stream. The matter was taken
under advisement.

The, ground for this action was an
alleged pool or trust agreement be.
tween the three companies to regu-
late the prices paid by retail oil deal

that the companies misled the public
into the belief that they were three
separate and distinct corporations. but
that they divided the territory of the
state, each agreeing not to sell on the
others grounds.
This suit is in the Supreme Court of

Fraser, Idaho. Nov. 27th Especially
Mrs. Martha J. Lee has given for pub
lication the following statement. con-
oerning Dodd's Kidney Pills:
u was down with Rheumatism
three times" she says. "and each
time Dodd's Kidney Pills helped me.
The last time they cured me. and now
am able to get around and do all
my work. though | am fifty-eight and
| can walk to Sunday School every
Sunday. Before took Dodd's Kidney
Pills | was SO bad could use neither
hand nor foot. I shall keep Dodd's
Pills on hand all the time"
Rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid
crystallizing in the muscles. Healthy
kidneys remove all Uric Acid from
the blood. Diseased Kidneys cannot
remove this Acid which collects In
the blood and poisons every vein and
artery. Dodd's Kidney Pills cure
rheumatism by curing the Kidneys; !;
by healing and Strengthening them,
SO that they can rid the blood Of all
impurities.

SAN JUAN VS.. oURAY.
County Line Contest Before State En-
gineer Jaycox.

Denver.-An Ouray special to the
Republican says: County Attorney J.
r. Barnett, Thomas Mowatt, chairman
county commissioners, and F. l.. Bid
dleccm. county surveyor. met by ap-
pointment on Saturday at Silverton
the San Juan county officials. the meet
ing having been called at the sugges-
tion of State Engineer T. w. Jaycox,
who was present and to whom the
boundary line controversy between the
two counties had been appealed for
settlement.
The controverted territory Is quar-
ter of mile wide by four miles long,
contains much valuable mineral bear
ing ground and lies between Brown
mountain and Mineral Point. The dis
pute is over the identification of Min
eral creek and its junction with the
main branch OF the Uncompahgre.
Ouray insists that the stream rising
near the Polar Star mine. close to the
headwaters of the Aninas and Henson
creek ccnfuent of the Gunnison is the
main branch of the Uncompahgre. and
that Mineral creek. heads at the town
of Mineral Point and flows into the
Uncompahgre near the Fred Smith
cabin. San Juan county contends that
the main branch of the UncOmpahgre
rises at Lake Como in Poughkeepsie
gulch. and is what Ouray maintains
is Poughkeepsie creek San Juan
claims that Mineral creek is the main
branch of the Uncompahgre joining
the Poughkeepsie branch at the mouth
OF Poughkeepsie gulch.
Mr.. Jaycox gave both sides until
February 1st to prepare evidence in
the way of afidavits. copies of records,
maps. ETC.. after which he will make a
decision, and with the county survey
ors will run the line and make perma-
nent monuments. Either side being
dissatisfied within six months may ap-
peal to ,he courts for review of his
action.
