IRRIGATION LAW
MAY BE INVALID
supreme Court Thinks Government
Has Exceeded Power.
NO authority Given by Constitution to
Reclaim Arid Land-At Least Cow
eminent Should Own Majority Ct
the lane-Test Suit Now Pending
in Arizona.

= Washington, May 14.-The United
states Supreme court in its decision in
the kansas-Colorado case TODAY init
mates rather strongly that the National
reclamation act under which the FEEDER
a. aoe government is spending upwards of
$So 'OOO, 900 may be unconstitutional
IL Is not so held in specific terms, but
the constitutionality of this act is in
question, and it would not be surprising
j private interests which are interfered
with by government projects should
oring suit to restrain the government
from diverting water for irrigation DUR
poses.
Ihere is really one such suit pending,
Drought by ex-senator Turner Of Wash
lngton, on behalf of an Arizona COM
pany that wants to restrain government
work on the Colorado river, so that il
can use water to reclaim land in Cali
lorna. 1t is entirely probable that the
Twin Falls company in Idaho may
BRING suit in the light Of today's deci.
slon, for there is prospect of a conflict
between the government and private
enterprise along the Snake river.
In rendering the decision in the Kan
sas'Colorado case, Justice Brewer, on
behalf of the court, declared that con.
gress can only legislate in respect Il
such matters as are specifically enume
rated in the constitution and that DOW
er to legislate with respect to irrigation
OF arid land was not one of the enume
rated powers granted by the constitu
ton.
The opinion holds, however, tina
congress may legislatc with respect t,
irrigation Of arid land within the terri
tories.
Even though the constitutionality o
the national reclamation law may ulti
mately be sustained, if the question j
ever raised, the court strongly intimate
that under the law there is no authori
ty for constructing government project
unless the government owns a majorit
Of the land to be reclaimed, holding
that the government has power to dis
pose Of and make rules respecting it
own property. But, it is held, 1--WE d
not mean that its (congress) Legislation
can override state laws in respect t
the general subject Of reclamation"
This part of the decision would seer
to affect the government work now j.
progress in Eastern Washington, wher
the government does not own MAORI
ty Of the land to be reclaimed, in fact
is only small owner. Should the con
stitutionality of the reclamation act b
later established. it is inferred iror
this decision that the government ma
later be compelled to construct it
works in accordance with state law
and construct only projects the major
ty of whose area is public land.

SITTING OUT PANEL OF JURY.
Many TaIesmen Deny Prejudice or
knowledge of the Case.

Boise, Idaho, May 10.-William d.
Haywood, first Of the alleged partici-
pants in the avenging conspiracy by
which it is averred the assassination Of
Frank Steunenberg was plotted and ex-
ecuted, was placed upon trial for his
life yesterday. Counsel for state and
prisoner entered at once, in business
like way, upon the examination Of
prospective Jurors, and kept steadily al
the task for five hours. No juror wa,
finally accepted, but substantial pro.
gress was made, and the indications at
the close Ct the session were that a.jury
could be obtained by the end OF nexi
week.
The opening day of the trial wen
through to its conclusion in quiet mar
mony, unmarked by unusual incident
1t was earnest and business-like.
Its striking feature was the entir,
absence Of crowds or demonstration il
any form. At no time, morning Of
afternoon, was the court room NOR,
than half filled, and the streets form
ing the. court house squrae contained
not single loiterer. The case wa
halted shortly before 5 o'clock by thu
exhaustion Of the jury panel. and Al
adjournment was taken until Monda,
morning. Meantime, the sheriff will
summon special venire of 100 men
The IL men under examination bu
not yet finally accepted or rejected
were locked up under close guard.

WILL SPEND BILLION.
Railroads to Make Great Effort tc
Catch Up With Traffic.

Chicago, May 10.-American rail-
ways will spend during the present year
nearly 81 900, 900, 900 in an extraordi-
nary effort to secure sufficient equip
ment in which tc transport the traffic
OF the country, sufficient power to keep
that equipment moving, and sufficient
rails for both the equipment and The
power to run on.
1t is estimated that, if the manufac.
turers are equal to the test, between
$40, 900 and $4,000 freight cars will
be added to the total equipment of the
railways of the United States, fully
5 1000 passenger coaches will be bull
and over 5000 locomotives will bt
added to the steam power which is now
available to the railroads. These fig
ures mean that every shop and every
plant where these utensils of commerce
are manufactured must run day snc
night in the United States, in Canals
and in Mexico, and that some of the
steel mills in other lands will get s
substantial reflex of this prosperity.

FIND CROP GREATLY DAMAGED
Omaha Grain Men Make Gloomy Re-
port After Trip.

Omaha, May IA special train
filled with a committee of so members
of the Omaha Grain exchange, which
has been making a tour of investigation
of the Kansas and Nebraska wheat
fields, returned this morning. The
concensus Of opinion follows:
Wheat, especially in the southeastern
portion Of Nebraska, has suffered about
10 per cent owing to the influx OF green
bugs and continued drought. Sumner
county, Kansas will not make over 40
per cent. The bugs have done great
damage to the fields which were exam
ined. Some members declare the en-
tire crop ruined between Caldwell, on
the Oklahoma line, and the Wichita
district. The party agrees that the
Weld of wheat will be very light as
compared with former years.
The party covered the districts OF
Kansas and Nebraska which in the past
have always raised bumper crops, going
as far south as the Oklahoma state line

BIT of Conversation Heard at an e

Bit of Conversation Heard at an En-
gIish Railway statfoa.
Young Stevens was on his way north
to spend the week end with his parents
and felt in a particularly jovial mood,
says Tid-Bits.
The train in which he was travelling
stopped at a small village and as a
farmer, who was sauntering up and
down the platform, came opposite Ste
vens' compartment, he was asked by
that youth II he knew that the Duke Of
Deyonshlre was In the train.
Immediately the man showed great
interest and said:
"Nol Is heT
81 think he is not" answered Stevens.
IT only asked II you know that he was"
The farmer said nothing but contin-
ued his walk on the platform. As be
came opposite the window again he re-
marked that their town had been ex-
perlencing some excitement
whats the matter?" Stevens asked.
'sThe authorities wouldn't let some
folks bury a woman" replied the
farmer.
"What was the reason for refusingT'
"She wasn't dead" was the laconlc
reply.
And then he strolled away, leaving
young Stevens biting his lip.

No Peace From Strikes

San Francisco, May 10.-There is
no peace in sight for strike-harrassed
San Francisco. Despite the vigorous
and unremitting efforts of the peace
makers, comprising citizens commit
tees appointed to bring employers and
employees together on some middle
ground, no conclusion or decision has
been arrived at and no concessions have
been intimated out of which compro-
missing might grow or settlements be
made.
The executive committee of the COM
mittee of so appointed by Mayor
Schmitz held secret meeting yester-
day afternoon and at its conclusion re-
fused to make any statement. 1t is
understood, however, that a plan for
submission to the whole committee was
partially formulated.

train robbers have been trailed from
the summit of the continental divide to
a point on the flats below Butte, where
the trail was lost. Their description
corresponds so much with that Of the
two bandits, even to the footprints

almost positive they are the fugitives.
