FIGHT BETWEEN TWO STATES
ARGUED TODAY IN HIGH COURT

Jurisdiction of the federal court. The
circuit court of appeals at San Fran
cisco, sustained the injunction and
the case reached the United States
supreme court on appeal of the Ne
vada parties from that affirmance.
The case is similar to that wherein
the waters of the Arkansas river were
in dispute between the citizens of
Kansas and Colorado some years ago,
and which was decided finally in
favor of Colorado. The decision in
that case, however, was founded upon
the presumption that the people of
Colorado would be more seriously
damaged by decision against them
than would the people of Kansas.
In the present case. the court is
expected to decide the ownership of
the waters of a river running through
two or more states and also the ques-
tion whether the courts of one state
have right to render decisions af-
fecting the titles to land lying within
another state.
Charles C. Boynton, attorney for
the Hickey interests denied the old
question of state rights was again
involved in this case. If the pre-
cedent were established in this case,
he asserted, the courts of Louisiana
or of any other state lying along the
lower parts of the Mississippi river
might assume to regulate the titles
of land lying as far away as the
banks of the Missouri river in Mon
tana. Even the courts of Canada, he
said might assert their right to take
cognlzance Of the conditions In the
United States affecting land Lying
along streams which flow acrosH the
tofders u two coantries.

Washington, Jan. ia contro-
versy between citizens of the states
of California and Nevada, involving
the right to use for irrigation and
other purposes the waters of the
Walker river, which flow in both
states, and attacking the jurisdiction
of the United States circuit court in
Nevada to interfere in the title rights
to lands in California, was argued in
the supreme court of the United
States today.
The case was originally entitled:
Miller & Lux vs.. Thomas P.
Hickey" The plaintiffs own about
$4,000 acres of land in Nevada, lying
along the Walker river, and the de-
fendant, Hickey, and associates hold
title to about 10000 acres located in
California along the headwaters of
the same river and above the Miller
and Lux property.
Miller and Lux began the original
action in the United States circuit
court In Nevada in 1902, to restrain
the Hickey interests from using the
waters of the Walker river in Cali
fornia which they alleged deprived
them of their supply in Nevada.
Hickey pleaded lack of jurisdiction on
the part of the court, but Judge Haw-
ley of the United States circuit court
of Nevada held that he had right to
regulate the titles to land in Cali

military information"

While it is never admitted, it is {
we'll known fact that all the leading
governments maintain an extensive
spy system. Naval and military at
taches are maintained at all the prin.
cipal capitals, whose special duty it is
to secure all possible information on
military and naval matters for trans
mission to the home government for
future use In addition to these known
and openly maintained agents, every
government encourages its naval and
military officers to pick up all possible
information as to military and naval
preparations and inventions while trav-
cling abroad, and there is not the
least doubt that scores of British Of
GcerS while Ostensibly travelling for
pleasure on the continent of Europe
are in reality picking up every bit of
information possible for the use of
their government. This system of spy
ing is so general that no government
pays any special attention to it, al
though every possible precaution is
taken to prevent the ascertaining of
military secrets. There is no doubt
at all that foreign military officers are
constantly prowling around our forti-
fications and naval stations in this
country-New Orleans Picayune.
