Special to The Herald
SAN BERNARDINO, May 16.-A suit
has been filed in the courts here by
John A. Cole, owner of the Las Flores
ranch of 5000 acres on the Mojave river,
against the Arrowhead Reservoir and
Power company seeking to enjoin that
corporation from claiming or diverting
the waters of the Mojave river by
means of the great storage system that
IL is now building in the San Bernar-
dino range of mountains at cost of
many millions of dollars.
This suit has long been expected by
many people who have watched the
course of events, as it seems certain
that much water that will naturally
flow down the Mojave or its tributaries
is to be impounded by the Arrowhead
enterprise.
The Arrowhead company, however.
has always asserted that it only in
tended to impound storm waters and
does not intend to interfere with exist
ing water rights.
AS the Arrowhead company has a
very complete record of the flow of the
streams from the mountains covering a
period of many years it is limited that
1t Is possible the reservoir people will
protect the summer flow of the streams,
especially the Mojave, which some peo-
pie believe they will be compelled to do.
But the matter of percolating waters
and underground flow will enter into
the case, which may make one of the
notable water suits of the county out
of it.
Water worth several fortunes is in
volved by the suit.
One year more and the gigantic en-
terprise of the Arrowhead company
will draw toward completion it having
been originally commenced fifteen years
ago, work having been suspended for
some years during the troublous period
following 1898.
Word was received here today of the
serious injury of James p. -cNair at San
Diego in a runaway accident. McNair
is a prominent cement contractor, being
engaged in government contract at
San Diego for several months. His
home is in this city.

Pasadena knights of Pythias scout
the idea that serious trouble is likely to
come from the recent abandonment Of
the annual meeting Of the grand lodge,
scheduled to convene at Oroville Mon
day, and say that the disturbance re-
ported at Riverside must arise from a
rnisapprehension. Last night a circu-
lar letter was received by Pasadena
lodge from the Orovllle brethren crit
lcislng Grand Chancellor Clark for his
action In the abandonment of the pro-
posed meeting OF the grand lodge at
that place. Pasadena lodge appreciates
the situation Orovllle is in by reason of
the abandonment Of this meeting after
Preparations had been made to enter
tain the same, but does not feel that
any intentional hurt was done, that the
action Of Grand Chancellor Clark was
warranted by the disaster which fell
upon fifteen Pythian lodges in San
Francisco and three in Oakland and
that It's previous action In supporting
the recommendation of the grand lodge
officers as to this order was obviously
proper Pasadena Pythians therefore
stand by their former action but will
work to have the grand lodge meeting
go to Oroville next year. The situation
is admitted to be unfortunate, but Pas
adena members of the order see no
cause for contention at this time.

Allen and Scott Agree to Leave Nomi-
nation to Primary.

Under an agreement arrived at by
Henry Allen, Charles F. Scott and 2.
A. Enright, in a meeting at Kansas
City, Kan, Friday afternoon the con-
gressiOnal primary in the Second dis
trict will be held March "a, and the
polls will be open from p. m. till
For a time it looked as though there
might be lot of trouble in reaching
an. agreement. The congressional
committee was deadlocked. Four of
the committee were for Scott, four
We're for Allen, and the split occurred
on the election of ninth member to
take the place of A. S. Duckworth of
Mound City, Linn county, who has
moved out of the state.
This is exactly the same kind of a
fight that occurred two years ago in
the election of a member of the con-
gressional committee to I'LL a vacancy,
with the exception that in that case the
precedent was established by Bower
sock and his friends that the congress
sional committee is not obliged to fol-
low the wishes of the county central
committee That precedent in the
present fight was recalled and insisted
upon by Aliens friends. The position
OF the rival candidates had just re
versed.
The contest between Scott and Allen
began when B. T. Baker. state senator
from Linn county, and Scott sup
porter, presented his credentials as
having been elected by the Linn coun-
ty Republican central committee to fill
the vacancy caused by the removal of
Mr.. Duckworth, the former member
The meeting of the committee was held
at Mound City January Il. Northup
the Scott member from Allen county
moved that the committee accept the
credentials. Grant Hornaday of Bour-
bon, the leader of the Allen forces,
arose and said:
Il am not ready to concede that the
say who shall be a member of this
committee. This body is the sole judge
of the qualifications of its members. A
precedent is found in the case of John
Vaughn, who was elected a committee
man from Anderson county at the
Garrett convention. when the county
central committee had Endorsed John
J. Johnson. I wish to place in nomi-
nation Mr.. Sig Preston"
Prest0n's nomination was seconded
by Boardman Of Ottawa, Aliens home
town. Mr.. Barker said that the preced-
ent had been established a the GaFnett
convention by a resolution adopted in
the Vaughn case that recommends

visory and was not binding upon the

The original contention of Allen wal
that the primaries should be held unde
the direction of the county central com
mittees of the nine counties of the dis
trict, the judges and clerks to be named
by the county committee. Scott feared
that this would operate against him in
WyandOtte county, where Allen has a
large following, and his faction of the
Republican party has control of the
county committee. SCOTS plan was that
the congressional committee should
have charge of the primaries, each can
didate to naTL-, his share of the judges
and clerks. Aliens friends feared that
the announcement of the candidacy of
Z. A. Enright of Kansas City, KAN,
was a move in the interest of Scott
Under the call adopted last night AL

trolled by the county committees pre-

The county central committee will
canvass the vote March o.
The congressional committee will meet
in Lawrence March 50, with Chairman
Barker, and declare the candidate. In
the election each candidate will be al
lowed a personal representative at the
polls, and each candidate must deposit
s400 with Frank Sporadic, of Gardner,
Kan. 20 days before the primaries. The
county central committee must issue the
call 20 days before the election.
At the close of the meeting last night
good feeling prevailed and all expressed
themselves as being well satisfied with
the result.
