Last Tuesday E. NJ. Seymour, an at
torney of Chicago. came to Pittshurs,
where he made frantic efforts to secure
the release of Spaulding. offering to pay
any fine which the magistrate who had
sentenced him might impose if he would
release him, so that he would not have to
conplete his sentence Of thirty days
When Seymour found that he could not
get Spaulding out he had a. long talk
with him in Jail, during which many pa
pers were signed, fully establishing Spaul-
dins's identity. According to the story
told by Seymour and Spaulding to Jail
orr Gals, Seymour is representing Claude

Of the settlement of the estate. 1t Is al
eyed that Reginald Seymour is the cor

According to the lawyers story,
Spaulding's share of his mothers fortune
would have been far greater. but on her

Reclamation Act Questioned.

The United States supreme court,
i'm its decision in the Kansas-C olora-
do case intimates rather strongly
that the national reclamation act,
under which the federal govern
ment is spending upwards of $780,
900, 900, may be unconstitutional. 1t
is not so held in specific terms, but
the opinion of the court indicates
that the constitutionality of this act
is in lquestion, and it would not be
surprising if private interests which
are interfered with by government
projects. should bring suit to restrain
the governmentfrom diverting water
for irrigation purposes. There is
already one such suit pending
brought by former Senator Turner
of Washington, on behalf of the Ari-
IONA company that wants to restrain
the government work on the Colo
RADIO river so that they can use the
water to reclaim lands in California.
1t is entirely probable the Twin
Falls company in Idaho may bring
suit in the light of this decision,
for there is a prospect of conflict
between the the government and
the private enterprises along the
Snake river.
