agreement with him 4 years ago by
which Morrow is TO have the progress

a standpatter. This is all moonshine.
1t would not have been possible to
have defeated Gilbertson two years
ago Mr. Morrow volunteered his
support of Gilbertson, or rather pledged
himself that he would not be candi-
date against Glbertson, for the reason
that he did not care to have the three

Neither Governor Cummins nor his
friends generally in the state are un-
der any obligations to anybody or any
faction as to places on the ticket, and
there Is no slate or set program, and
all pretensions to that effect are with
out foundation
AS to the position of Mr. Buttles as
candidate for railroad commissioner 1t
all depends on the showing made at the
state convention in the contest his

United States Supreme Court
Affirms the Decision of the
Lower Court
SIX MONTHS IN JAIL; $500 FINE
Majority Opinion Was BY Justice Har-
lan-Justices Brewer, Bromack,
White, Peckham, Dissented-Decisio
Deprives Burton of Right to Hold
Office Under tho Government.

Washington, May 21.-The supreme
court Of the United States today ren-6
dered it's decision in the case of United
States Senator Ralph Burton, of Kan
sas, against Burton, affirming the de-
cision Of the lower court by which
Burton was sentenced to six months
imprisonment in Jail, required to pay
fine Of $500 and deprived Of the:
right hereafter to hold office under the
government. The opinion was by JUS
tice Harlan. All points made In Bur-.
toms interest were overruled.
IF Senator Burton does not resign
at once" as prominent senator puts
it, resolution will be introduced to-
declare his seat vacant.
Burton was prosecuted on the charge
of violation of that section of the re-
yised statutes which prohibits sena-s
tors and representatives from receiv-
ing compensation for services render-s
ed before any government departments
in any matter in which the govern
ment may be interested.
Justices Bromock, White and Peck
ham united in a dissenting opinion de-
livered by Brewer. Their opinion was
based on the theory that the United
States was not legally interested in the
case against the Rialto Company in
which Burton was employed as coun-
sci.
Immediately after the PRONUNCIATION
Of it's decision the supreme court
granted motion to give sixty days
to Burton in which to prepare a petit
ton for rehearing. This action will
have the effect of taking the case over
until the next term Of court, beginning
in October.

Council Bluffs, May 21.-,Henry and

several others. Consequently the lit

ed. The proceedings We're brought to
an abrupt stop by the game warden's
attorney, who refused to prosecute.

RIO GRAND[ TREATY
Is SIGNED TODAY
Source OF Friction Between
United States and Mexico
About to Be Removed
some OPPOSITION is EXPECTED
Some Western Senators Believe United
States Entitled to All of Water
Without Compensation, or That Mex
lean Right Should be Purchased
Outright by Cash Payment.

Washington, May 21.-Secretary
loot Tor the United States and Ambas-
ssslor Castlsus for the Mexican gov
erninent, today signed a treaty regu-
lating, the use OF the waters of the Rio
Grande, which. If approved by the sem
ate will remove what has been for
twenty years past a source of friction
in the relations of the two countries
For almost a century Mexicans liv-
ing along the lower river have made
large use Of it's waters for the purpose
of irrigating their lands. But in recent
years private companies on the upper
waters in the United States have, by
construction of wing dams, diverted a
large part OF the water to this side of
the river. The Mexicans have prefer
red claims for damages sustained, but
so far without success. Now the
plans of the reclamation service, have
made it certain that practically all the
water will be retained on American
soil, unless some proper scheme of di-
vision can be arranged. The con-
struction of $7,000,000 dam across
the Rio Grande at Engel, N. NJ,
brought the matter to a climax and led
to negotiations between the two coun-
tries which eliminated in the treaty
signed today. The underlying princi-
pie Of the convention is recognition of
the common law of the right of the
MexIcans to the use of fair share of
the waters of the river but as the
United States government is put
to the entire expense of build
ing the great dam and canals.
the Mexican share is only a
fractional proportion of the whole flow.
1t is estimated that the impounded wa
tiers will suffice to irrigate about 2oO,-
600 acres of otherwise arid land, and
it is stipulated that of this total of
60 900 acres of water, which is to make
arai,le about 25,000 acres of land will
he delivered on the Mexican side Of the
border each year. For it's part the
Mexican government guarantees the
United States government against any
suit for liability on account of claims
Of individual Mexicans who have so far
suffered thru diversion of the water.
Opposition to the treaty is expected on
the part of some western senators, who
EXPRESS the belief that either the Unit
4 ed States is entitled to all Of the wa
ter, without compensation, in view of
the great expense to which it has been
pui. by the work of construction of ir-
rigation dams and canals, or that if the
Mexican right is to be recognized at
all. its title should be purchased out
right by a cash payment.

the erection of the new steel amphi-
theatre at Chautauqua park, are idle.

the opening day of the chautauqua.
The steel makers in Clinton claim the
the real delay is caused by parties IN
Chicago who make certain parts of the
steel frame for them.
Numerous arc lights will be placed
on the grounds and the park will be
Illuminated in every nook and Granny.
Heretofore there have been lights only
