OMAHA LOSES.
Water Suit Is Decided in Favor of tho
Company.

Washington, Dec. 23.-The supreme
court of the United States today de-
cided the case of the Omaha Water
company versus the city Of Omaha,
arising out of the city's effort to re-
duce the water rate against the city.
The proceeding was instituted by
the company to secure an Injunction
against the enforcement of an ordi-
nance reducing the rate on water to
consumers below the price fixed in
1888, when the contract was first made
with the company. That contract was
for rs years and the company claimed
that for the city to reduce the rate
before its termination would involve
breach of contract and therefore
violate the federal constitution. The
United States circuit court of Ne
braska sustained the ordinance. but it's
decision was reversed by the United
States court Of appeals for the Eighth
circuit and the city appealed the case.
Chief Justice Fuller announced the
supreme courts opinion. dismissing
the appeal for want OF Jurisdiction and
denying the petition for a writ of
certiorari. 3 asss

the carving out of new state in the
Northwest. to be known as Lincoln,
when the Trans Mississippi CONNER
cial congress meets in Muskogee, /.
T., next November. The plan is to
take sufficient territory from Oregon,
Washington and Idaho for the crea-
ton of a great new commonwealth In
what is now known as the finland
Empire"
Spokane presented the proposition
at the last meeting of the congress In
Kansas city, but failed to secure of
fetal Endorsement for the project.
The delegation from this city will
urge that the name and fame of
Abraham Lincoln should be pcrpetu-
ated by naming n state after him.
The lobby Will also argue that the
region to be included in the project
ed new state has no common inter
ests with the Pacific coast, and that
its natural resources warrant the
formation of new commonwealth.
1t is believed that favorable consid-
Grafton by the Trans-Mississipp con-
gress will go far toward bringing the
plan to a successful completion.
