reach that exalted position owing to
his devotion to the duty Immediately
before him. He declined to quit the
Philippines until he had completed the
work for which he was sent to the
islands.
In religious matters the Tafts are d.
vided. but not at all inharmoniously.
The secretary is member Of the
Unitarian church. Mrs. Taft is an
ardent Episcopalian. Miss Helen has
been confirmed in her mothers church.
while young Robert Taft is parish
Toner of All Souls Unitarian church in
Washington along with his father.
Little Charles religion at present has
to do chiefly with forts. arsenals and
guns, but that may be due to the fact
that his father is secretary of war.
Mrs. Taft and her daughter attend St.
Johns Protestant Episcopal church in
Washington.
Secretary Taft is q hard and sys-
tematic worker. He Is accredited with
doing an enormous quantity of work
every day in the war department.
he usually carries great packets OF
public documents along upon which to
| work en- route. When in Washington
he frequently takes public papers home
60 that he can work in the privacy Of
his study.
Mr. Taft has been considered always
by bis friends as a remarkably lucky
man. He has not known the bitter
ness Of defeat In any of his endeavors
toward distinction. As a matter Of
fact, with the single exception Of his
election to the Ohio judgeship, all his
preferments have come to him by ap.
pointment. 1t is remarkable fact
that when he was but thirty-two years
Of age his name was considered seri.
ously for appointment to the supreme
bench Of the United States. and it was
only his youth that caused the presi-
dent to reconsider and finally name an
older man.

The Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott says:

and lie likes all sorts of men except
those that are dishonest or disloyal.
He was the most popular governor the

WATER CONTEST REACHES
UNITEL STATES COURTS
Company Which Plans to Expend
100000 In improvements on
Mojave River Seeks to
Enjoln Rivals

A complaint was filed with Clerk Will
liam M. Van Dyke of the federal court
Yesterday entitled the Westwater Power
and Water company VS.. the Arrowhead
Reservoir and Power company. The
complaint describes In detail the lands
and water rights owned and controlled
by the complainant in San Bernardino
county, with especial reference to its
rights on the Mojave river.
The prospective expense in irrigating
and impounding water is S6,O00,000.
The complain. states the defendants in
tend to divert Deep creek tributary to the
Mojave and cause 1t to run south, di-
rectly opposite to its present direction.
The complainant declares the defendant
has no right so to do, and further states
the defendant threatens to divert Deep
creek SO it's waters will never reach the
Mojave and will never return and thus
will not reach the compliments property
over which 1t has flowed for many years.
The compliments claim they are thus
damaged to the extent of $500. They
deny DEFENDANTS rights 10 said waters.
The complainant asks that the defend
ants be required to Sc. forth their rights
to the waters aid the nature OF their
claims; that the defendants be enjoined
PEI pStuhlly AAoHi opSNI uCslnB tHe WdleH5
or constructing dams thereon; that they
be enjoined from obstructing the natural
flow of the river, that until the final hear
ing of the cause they be enjoined from
any of these acts, and that the complain
ant recover costs and other expenses in
CURED in this matter.
The complaint was signed by A. 2.
Poole, secretary of the Westwater com
pany. and by the solicitors for the COM
pany, Oscar C. Mueller. Charles w. Slack
and l.. w. Moultrie.
