of the dual empire by Italy allied with Monte
negro and Servia, and perhaps owing to the
realism with which these military operations
were put into execution the Slav population of
the region felt encouraged to perpetrate all sorts
OF dsgraceful outrages upon the numerous
Italian inhabitants of the district and upon their
property, which, of course. aroused a perfect
storm of indignation throughout the length and

On the other side we find popular anti-Aus-

form of public gatherings in front of the various

NEW YORK, May 14.-Mayor Nc
Clellau, after looking up the law, says
that it will require a constitutional
amendment to permit the city to
spend the money raised to aid the
sufferers in the Mont Pelee disaster
About $14O0 was sent in and the
names of the subscribers are lost. As
all the people near Mont Pelee were
killed and there was no call for the
money 1t was not sent forward.
Money in the custody of the city to
be spent for a specific purpose cannot
be spent for anything else.
The money was raised about four
years ago when Mayor Low was at
the city hall, and some one lost the
names of the subscribers.
The money has been on deposit for
the last four years and is drawing in
terest at the rate of 2 per cent.
Il am informed by people in the
finance department" said the mayor,
that we are likely to have the Mar
Unique fund with us indefinitely. I
cent the fund will double itself every
forty-four years, and that In one

left undisturbed, will amount to a
tidy sum of $4,000. 900, ,O0O."

Moody had with Senators Tillman and
Bailey were such as were had with
any other senator's to determine the
phraseology and discuss the amend
ments proposed by them.
Suggests Allison
The president states that he became
convinced that 1t was impossible for
senator's with advantage to use him
as an intermediary and suggested to
all to whom he spoke that they COM
municate with Senator Allison, whose
purposes and the presidents were iden-
teal.
The president says that in his own
opinion that the Allison amendment
in no way changed the court review as
provided in the original Hepburn bill,
is also the opinion of Attorney Cen
eral Moody and Secretaries Root and
Taft.
The attorney generals letter gives an
account, at the presidents request, of
the conferences which Mr.. Moody had
at the presidents direction with Sena-
tors Tillman and Bailey regarding the
court review feature.
He says he advised the president
that he should not at any stage become
committed beyond recall to any form
of language in any part of the bill,
and the president affirmed the wisdom
of that course.
He concludes that there was nothing
in the conversations between the sena-
tors and himself which bound the presi-

The case is one of the most extra
ordinary to come before a New York

hinted to her husband that her char

the story of her uncle's conduct, and
Terranova, with reproaches, aban-
doned her at once.
Several days later Mrs. Terranova
went to the home of her uncle and
aunt and while pretending frlendll-

aunt defended him and was killed

ages-some Patience Is
Bespoken
BY Associated Press.

OAKLAND, Cal, May 14.--A con-
fereuce was held here today between
the underwriters adjusting bureau
and a special committee OF San Fran
cisco property owners, consisting of
Messrs. Eugene, Knight, Rich and
Rothschild.
Mr.. knight, who acted as spokes-
man for the committee, said that they
desired to know when the under
writers would establish headquarters
in San Francisco, what policy they
would pursue regarding the clearing
away of debris and what form of
proof OF loss would be demanded.
Chairman Spencer explained briefly
the organization of the underwriters
bureau and adjusting committee and
said that headquarters had been es-
tablshed in Oakland as a matter of
convenience. He added:
"The underwriters will pay all
losses in full as they have done in the
past, and that without cent of dis
count. Men accustomed to looking
disaster in the face are now adjusting
these losses so that they may be paid
as soon as possible. But this visiting
committee must understand that this
is not charity institution and they
cannot expect 1t to be one"

he said. cannot now tell how they
stand because their books have been
totally destroyed and they must have
time to straighten matters out.
"Questions connected with the re-
moval of debris must be left to the
adjusting committee"
Regarding the proposed publication
of a list of losses Rolla V. Watt said
that the insurance companies could
not be reasonably asked to do what
would not be demanded from any
other branch of business.
In closing the discussion Mr.. Devlin
said:

perhaps one or two exceptions, will

WATER RIGHTS
ARE SETTLED
SUPREME COURT RENDERS
DECISION
Los Angeles Controls Rlver-Superin-
tendent MuIhoIland Says He Is
Best Friend San Fernando
Ranchers Had
BY Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE city
of Los Angeles controls the waters of
the Los Angeles river above the city,
according to a decision handed down
by the supreme court of the United
states today in the case of Robert De-
vine and 240 other property owners.
Both parties to the suit based their
contentious on old Spanish grants. The
city claimed that under the old regime
Los Angeles controlled the water and
that the treaty with Mexico after the
war assured the continuance of this
control. This usage has been continued
by both state and national laws. The
private owners claimed that taking
control Of the water from them prac-
tically confiscated their property with
out due process of law, as much Of
the land with water rights was wortht
$500 per acre, but without the rights
only $S5 per acre.
Restricts Ranohers' Rights
The ranchers living near the river
and depending upon It for their water
supply have no right now to pump the
water II they are forbidden to do so
by the city. This might become nee
essary If the city were to run short
of water.
At various times for several years
the state courts have rendered de-
cisions in favor of the city, and now
there is no appeal from the decision
which will in any way affect the
ranchers They might carry their case
into the state courts, but these have
already declared themselves in favor
of the city.
After the ranchers had lost a number
of suits they carried the question to
the federal courts in Los Angeles to
find If the United States courts had
Jurisdiction. Judge Wellborn decided
that there was no controversy as far
as the federal courts were concerned.
The case was then carried to the
United States supreme court in Wash
ington, which also decided in favor Of
the city.
viii Protect Ranchers
In speaking of the decision of the
United States supreme court Superln
tendent William Mulholland said:
II have no intention of hampering
the ranchers in the San Fernando
valley. No restrictions will ever be
made on their use of water unless such
action shall be absolutely necessary.
have heard that some of the people in
that valley feel bitterly toward mo
personally. Perhaps that is natural,
considering they are not all perfectly
informed regarding conditions. The
truth Of the affair is l am their best
friend and it is my intention to pro-
tect their interests as far as 1 can"
