KANSAS-COLORADO CASE UP
Supreme Court Hears ArEument in
suit between states for Ar
kansas River Water.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-The supreme
court of the United States today continued
its hearing in the Kansas Colorado irriga-
ton case growing out Of the use Of the
waters Of the Arkansas river. Attorney
Ashbaugh, arguing for Kansas, addressed
his remarks principally to the question Of
the underhow water Of the river. He CON
tended that Kansas had been deprived Of
the greater part of this hitherto most i'm
portant supply and declared Colorado has
appropriated 10000 cubic feet of water per
second. which practically takes all the sup
ply of the stream in the irrigation season.
He placed the total damage suffered by
Kansas demands a fair division Of the
water Of the Arkansas river, which would
not be less than 200 cubic feet second.
Attorney Loomis also speaking for Kan
sas. contended that Colorado not only
claims the right to all the water OF the
Arkansas river, but actually takes it all.
In support Of this contention he quoted a
number of witnesses who had been sum-
moned to testify in behalf of Colorado
itself. He also undertook 70 show that
there is not now nearly so much water in
the Arkansas, in Kansas, as there were in
the early days and again marshalled a
number OF Colorado witnesses to sustain
his position
AS TO the Colorado contention that most
Of the irrigation water returns to the
stream through seepage, he declared that
two thirds of the water taken out OF the
river is either lost by evaporation or alb
sorbed in plant life.
In conclusion, he said Kansas is entitled
under all the laws of right and justice, TO
a fair deal Of the water of this important
stream, and contended for a recognition
Of this fact,
Attorneys Clyde c. Dawson and Platt
Rogers followed for Colorado.

Miss Frieda spreen, aged 25 years, Thr-
tieth and Spring streets. was crushed under
the wheels OF the trailer Of a northbound
South Omaha car at Twenty-fourth and
Vinton streets a few minutes before 6
o'clock Tuesday evening, dying a short time
afterward. Her head was crushed. She
had fallen in allghting from the back
platform OF the forward car and was drawn
inward between the cars, directly under
the wheels Of the trailer.

in the habit Of going home from work to-
gether leaving the cars at Twenty fourth

coming from the north, and as two cars
cannot round a curve at the same time, he

wheels passed over her head before the
car could be stopped.

was her uncle, Wispeler, who had been a
spectator of the tragedy. He found the
rear wheel had not passed entirely over
the head and called to have the car backed
Someone else called to have it moved for
ward, and this was done. The limp form
was then pulled out and in the darkness
the extent of the injury was easily seen.
Police Surgeon Pugsley happened TO be on
the car for which Motorman Hetheld had
waited, and hearing of the accident, he
jumped to the street. He stayed with the
woman until she died the pulse and res
plration continuing for more than halt

serted he called to her to look out when the
car started, and made move to catch
her, but someone got in his way. The story
of witnesses varied but slightly in the de-
tails Of the accident.
