NEW POINT IN IRRIGATION
Right = Build bitches Across Rail.
rosd Risht-or-way in Question

a go PaSsed on two weeks ago nv
County Judge Nixon is NOT vet finish
cd but promises further deyelonment
In the Federal courts.
Speaking of the case the D.rror
Republican says: '"e l'en'er
Future development of irrigation
systeMs aiohg and across the right
o!-"ay. OF railroads will be largely
aflected by the decision of Fedora,
Judge Lewis in the Injunction snit
filed ~ The Union Pacific Railway
company TO prevent further work on
An IRRIGATION ditch being built along
Its r1ght-oi-Way in Weld county. The
Weld county court has already held
that John and William Kinesburv
nave . right to cross the right-of
way OF The railroad and has refused
an order to have the case transfer
red to The federal court.
Irrigation projectors have hereto
fore avoided the railroads and this is
the flrot clash on record. In this case
the raliWay company alleges the
probapllity OF an encounter between
railroed employees and workmen on
the ditch, as the reason for praying
an injunction. 1t is also maintained
that the railroad right-of-way is no,
subject to condemnation for the
construction OF irrigation bitches. >
The principal point now at issue
IL AZ to whether the Federal Court
has jurisdiction. Judge Nixon baset
his decision on a ruling OF the Colo
RADIO Supreme Court that a case coulC
not be transferred to the Fedora
Courts Until the plaintiffs had show1
that the amount involved reached
$4,000. This the plaintiffs were no
able to do as affidavits were filet
showing the damage to be onl,
about 800. However there is
question as to the effect of a Stat,
Supreme Court ruling upon a Fedora
Court 90 the end is not yet. TIL,
outcome will be watched with in
terest.

WILL FILE CHARGES
MANAGER CHARLIE FRANK MAKES
 AN ANNOUNCEMENT.
Says the Whole Montgomery Ball Club Is Guilty of Disgraceful Conduct. Secretary Miller Sttil
 Investigating.

New Orleans. May 1S-tSpectaL)- Manager Charles Frank. who yanked Baxter off Umpire OBrien Saturday af- ternoon. after the referee had been beaten and pummelled for about two minutes. announced today that he would at once file charges of disgrace full conduct. not only against The Moose" and Umpire Johnny OBrien, but against the whole Montgomery pail club.
 This morning in police court, about fifteen witnesses were examined ana o'Brien. who admitted striking the first blow. was fined S25, Baxter. un- hurt, but pleading provocation TOT fighting, was fined SIC.
 President R. J. Chambers. of the Montgomery club, appealed Baxter's case to a higher court, but O'Brien paid his fine OBrien was ordered to begin umpire duties in Memphis tomorrow and left todays game in the sixth inning, Dan Pfenninger taking charge.
 President Chamber and Baxter ex- press great indignation that the scrap py umpire has not been suspended dur ing the investigation as the player was.
 The local manager believes he has good grounds for complaining against the whole Montgomery club, however, as we'll as the two scrappers. The Montgomery club had the field, the Pelicans being at the bat As soon as the trouble began. all of the Montgom- cry players. including Manager Ryan. rushed over to first base, fully half of the sixteen men being within ten feet of the two when the first blow was struck. The men could easily have been separated and the immin. ent danger of a riot averted.
 The extreme soundness of the beat jag Baxter gave his antagonist and the refusal of Ryan's boys to stop the scrap, caused Charlie Frank himself to finally rush across the diamond, with the whole Pelican club and a fly copper at his heels and separate the men, shouldering Baxter to his bench.
 Secretary Clark Miller will remain here some days. He has no opinion On the matter. he Sd VI. but will en- deavor to get all the facts and make. a complete report to President Kava- naugh when through. "a

DECISION IS AFFIRMED.
Supreme Court Holds Owners of VesseN
 Responsible for Accident.


 Responsible for Accident.
 Washington, May 1s.--In an opinion by Justice White the Supreme Court of the United States today decided the case of George Deslions and others vs. La Compagnie Generale Transatlan- tique, a French corporation.
 The company owned the steamer La Bourgoyne which was sunk off Sable Island in 1898, in collision with the British steamer Cromartinshire. The disaster resulted in the loss of the lives of $40 passengers on board the French vessel. Many claims for damages were instituted. and because a life boat and A raft from the lost vessel. said to be worth only $100. were brought into New York. the owners of the Bourgoyne filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, a petition for limitation of liability. The District Court held the vessel lia- ble because of its speed in a dense fog, but confined the liability to cases in which no life had been lost. The property liability also was limited in amount to the value of the life boat and raft that were saved.
 The Circuit Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed the decision in- solar as 1t held the owners of the ves~ sells responsible for the accident be- cause of their disregard of the law. but reserved the finding regarding the ex- tent of liability and held. them liable to the extent of the total sum paid for freight and passage for the voyage from New York to Havre on which the Bourgoyne had started. The case. was brought to the Supreme Court on e write of certiorari.
 The court today rendered its verdict, affirming the decision of the Court of Appeals.

IN UNSETTLED STATE.
NO DEFINITE DATE FOR MADAM ~... GOULD's WEDDING.
Bofh Madame Gould and Pxfnce Ffet,s Regard Themselves as Enwa~ea = si. .-Certain Peculiar Compli-
 cations Confront Them.

Paris, May 18.-When and where the wedding of Prince Helie de Saean. and Mime. Gould will take place has not yet been definitely decided.
 They regard themselves as engaged and would like to soiemnize the mar riage immediately Certain peculiar complications, however, confront them. First, there is the clause in Jay Gould's will reducing the share of each child one-half If he or she marries without the consent of the executors. If the marriage of Mnle. Gould occurs within the. very near future. 1t can be assumed that the consent of her brothers and Miss Helen Gould has been given. oth- erwise the ceremony will necessarily be delayed to permit the courts to decide the issue. ..~
 The most serious obstacle to, the marriage is Count Bonis attitude, which involves the possible limitation of Mime, Gould's rights over her chill dren. Count Bonf naturally is furious at the idea of the wedding and makes no concealment of his intention if this occurs, to demand a modification of the divorce decree which gave her the GUS. tody of the children, basing this de- mand on the ground that the Prince would not be a suitable stepfather, and titAt 5ASH SAOSC ASA6thOhoHip WAtn HtS children would be pretudicial to their interests.
 During the course of Prince .Helie's recent suit against Count Bonf and his brother for assault, 1t will be remem- bered Maitre Bonnet the CasteIlane's attorney, declared that no court In France would confde the custody of children to a man of De Sagan's char acter.
 Madame Gould feels certain that no court would take such view, but nev- ertheless the suit would create end- less complications which both she and the Prince desire to avoid. To circum- vent this phase of the situation, the marriage might occur abroad, perhaps in England, but this would involve the decision to reside in the future beyond the Jurisdiction of the French courts, unless some settlement could be eff. fected with Count Boni.
 The question of a religious ceremony does not stand in the way. Mime. Gould is Protestant and the marriage would occur before a protestant min- ister. To do this, it would not be nec- essary for Prince Helie to change his. religion he. would only be obliged. to accept the Protestant rite. Reports from Rome that Mn1e. Gould sought to have her marriage to Count Boni an- nulled by the Vatican are pronounced untrue upon competent authority. It Is explained that 1t was recognized in advance that such an attempt would be futile.

Old People Must Give the Bowels Help

The muscles of the bowels become less active with age. They must have help.
 That help should be regular. Don't wait till you need something violent. It should be gentle and natural. One can't take harsh physic persistently without infinite harm. People who must take laxatives regu- larly should take nothing but Gas carets.
 Salts and pill cathartlcs irritate the bowels until the lining grows cal loused. Then one needs larger doses. They irritate the stomach, too. Their constant use always leads to dys- pepsia.
 Cascarets are gentle. Their regular use is never injurious.

Miss Wood, fin her suit named as CO., respondent Lillian Janeway, whom Senator Platt married in 1903.
 Senator Platt was not in court today.
 Miss Wood was the first witness. She was stylishly attired and self-pos- sessed. She testified that Mir. Platt's first promise to marry her was at Man. haitian Beach. He said the marriage must be a secret as he was an old man." added the witness. "I demurred and told him that he knew nothing about me, but he said he knew all my past life"
 Miss Wood said she had two letters from Senator Platt but that one Of them was demanded from her by J. Martin Miller and another man in October 1903 and that she had never seen it since. Her counsel showed the witness a typewritten copy of letter and she identified 1t as containing practically the contents of the missing letter. It was offered in evidence and admitted despite the objections of John B. Stanchfeld, Senator Platts counsel. The copy was dated Friday November s, 1901. and in part as fol- lows:

 Another letter of the same date was offered in evidence in which the writer advised Miss Wood that he would not reach the hotel until after o'clock and that she was to go to her room and await a signal from him. The wit ness said she waited as directed. that Senator Platt came to her room with two men; that he embraced her and in- troduced her to the men.
 "I took his hand" said Miss Wood, and one of the men began the civil ceremony by saying, You take this woman to be your lawful welded wife, and you take this man to be your law ful welded husband""
 Miss Wood said Platt gave her wedding ring. and she displayed the ring to the court. It bore no inscrip- ton She declared that she thought the man who performed the ceremony
