IMPORTANT Decision
OF Supreme court

MANAGEABLE STREAMS.

Tu'V "V"s " y" WIZ u 1tIOJ IIUm N0SS0u
Ceunt---Opinisn by Judge
Whitfield.
!he supreme court has just render.
ed an opinion i'm the suit of the State
Of Florida ex rel. w. H. Ellis Al.
torney General, vs.. Gustav Gerbing,
writ Of error from Nassau county.
which is of such general interest AZ
involving the right of the public to
take oysters liz or on the shores of
navigable waters below high water
mark.
The full decision Is Of such length
that NC cannot give it space, but tile.
gist Of the decision is as follows:
MINNIE
The navigable waters in the st ates
and the lands under such waters in
Guiding the shore ar lands between
ordinary high ana low water-Ina rks
are the property of the states or Of
the people of the states in their united
or sovereign capacity and are held
not for the purpose Of sale ar conver-
sion into ether values, or reduction
into several or individual ownership,
but for the use Of all the people of the
states respectively fur the purpose of
navigation, commerce, fishing aud
other useful purposes afforded BY the
watels in common to and for the pe0.
pie VI the states. The title to the
lands Of this character were withheld
by the original states of this Union ~
essential to iile sovereignty Of the
states, to the welfare Of the people Of
the states, and to the proper exercise
Of the police powers of the states.
A safe may make limited disp,,si-
ton Of portions of such lands or of
the use thereof in the interest of the
public welfare, where the rights of
the whole people of the state as to
navigation and other uses of the
waters are not materially impaired.
The states cannot abdicate general
control over such lands and the Wa
tiers thereon, since such ab,iication
would he inconsistent with the im-
piled legal duty of the states 10 pre-
serve and control such lands and the
waters thereon and the use of them
for the public good.
***** .
To develop resources aud encourage
industries the state by statnte pro-
vides for granting limited privilege
to individuals to plant oysters in the
public waters of the state. The stat
ute provides that such rights shall
not Obstruct or interfere with the
navigation of any of the navigable
waters of the state, and also provides
that all the existing natural or ma
tcrnal oyster beds in the waters of
the state are exempt from the pro-
visions OF the act, and that such nat
ural or maternal oyster beds shall re-
main for the free use of the citizens
OF this state. Gen. Stats. of Florida,
64O to GIL.
The rights Of the people of the state
to the navigable waters and the lands
Hereunder, Including the shores or
space between ordinary high and low
water mark, In the state, are desig-
mated for the public welfare, anu the
state may regulate such rights there
under for the benefit Of the whole
people Of the state as circumstances
may demand, subject of course to the
powers ofthe congress in the prem
ises.
AS the respondent shows no legal
claim 10 exciusiye rights on lands
under the nsvisable waters of the
river, including those lands between

Revolutionists Using Bombs

Ell Paso, Tex, July 1.-The first revo-
lutionary outbreak In Mexico beyond
the borders of the state of Coahuita oc-
cured yesterday, when the garrison at
PalomaS, Chihuahua, seventy miles
west of this city, was attacked by a
band of fifty men, who were repulsed
with a loss of one killed and one cap
tured
According to dispatch received
here from Columbus, y. NJ, Juan Cor
reon, the Mexican general, arrived
there from Palomas bearing dispatches
to his government concerning the at
tack. 1t began when bomb was
thrown into the telegraph office, thus
shutting off communication with out
side points. In the fight which fol
lowed several hundred shots were fired
and many bombs thrown at the head
quarters of the officers.
Owing to the fact that the bombs
were ill-timed. the officers were able TO
throw them away before they exploded,
thus saving the building and their own
lives. The fixht lasted one hour after
which the attacking party fled to the
mountains west of Palomas. One man
was killed, but it seems that he was a
non -combatant.

TROOPS ON MEXICAN BORDER
Question of Law as to What Extent
They May Check Entrance of Per-
sons to United States--Strict Neu-
trality Must Be Observed

Washington, July 1-American mill
tary forces are now in service for the
enforcement of the neutrality laws
along the Mexican border.
General Myer, commanding the de-
partment of Texas, has reported to the
war department that directions have
already been given for the dispatch of
four troops of cavalry from posts in his
department to Del Rio. AS to other
points he will be guided by his confer
ences with the civil officials.
The employment of American troops
for this purpose is almost without pre-
cedent in recent years, and the law Of
ticers of the war department, as we'll as
the attorney general himself have
been obliged to give close study to the
question as to the extent to which they
may exercise the power of preventing
persons entering the United States
from Mexico.
Under the law no passports are re-
CURED except in the case of Chinese
and Japanese and about the only rea-
sOnable ground for the detention of
fugitiveS would be some presumable
violation Of the immigration or health
inspection laws. Thus it will be deli
cate task for the army officers to avert
clashes with the civil courts ii they
undertake to make promiscuous arrests
of persons fleeing from Mexico into
the United States
Frequent conferences were held by
the various officials of the state and war
departments. and Senior GodOy, the
Mexican charge at Washington also
had a thorough discussion of the stu
alton with Acting Secretary of State
Bacon.
Attorney General Bonaparte, whose
department Is cooperating In the eff
forts of the United States to see that
strict neutrality is observed. was at
the war department and had talks with
Secretary Taft and with General Bell,
the chief Of staff of the army. All the
agencies of the government are now at
work along the same lines in the effort
to prevent Any substantial aid being
given the MeXicans from sympathizers
across the border
