ACT

Appellate Court Sustains Lower
Bodys Contention.
DECISION is FAR REACHING
Right Of Secretary Of Interior to Ae-

Condemnation Is Es.
tablished.

San Francisco, July "a far
reaching decision, directly affecting
the $20,00oo00 appropriation recently
made by congress and the reclama-
ton service, wherein the United
States court of appeals sustains the
circuit court of Idaho's contention
that the reclamation act is constitu.
tional, was rendered here.
The decision establishes the right
of the secretary of the interior to ac-
quire by condemnation or otherwise
lands and waters in the furtherance
of any reclamation project.
important to the West.
The Importance to the west lies in
the fact that already the government
has expended millions of dollars in
the work of reclaiming the arid lands
Of the west, and congress bat short
time ago appropriated $20,0OO,0OO for
the work to be done this year.
David E. Burley of Idaho questioned
the constitutionality of the reclama-
ton act, which permitted the govern.
ment to condemn his lands and water
for use in irrigation projects, on the
ground that water stored in the reser-
voirs sought to be constructed was
not wholly for public use, but for pri-
vate, az 1t is to be furnished private
landowners by the government.
Government Rights Extended.
The decision of the court Of appeals
also extends to the right Of the gov
eminent to take over any needed pri.
vate water rights in carrying out the
PROVISIONS Of the act.
This makes the irrigation projects
of the west authorized by law and
will permit a resumption Of work in
many sections without delay.

POPE ALARMED OVER SPAIN
Plus X ENTERS RETREAT FOR
WEEK OF PRAYER.
Spanish Problem Threatens to Lead
; to Religious Clash Like that
in France.

Rome, Italy, July 6.-Pope Plus has
gone into retreat for a week and is
abstaining from audiences and bust
ness. He passes his days in spiritual
exercises, prayer and fasting, despite
his Doctors prohibition against deny
ing himself comforts. He trusts in
providence for a speedy solution OF
the Spanish problem, which threatens
TO lead a religious clash like that in
France.
In the pope's encourage the con-
yiction prevails that the Canalejas
cabinet in Spain will be short lived
and that consequently the proposed
liberal reforms, which the vatican
considers decidedly anti-Catholic, will
fall. The pope himself. however, fears
that Premier Canaleias may provoke
a rupture OF the diplomatic relations
with the vatican, thus causing revo-
luton in Spain and throwing the
blame on the vatican. In the hope OF
avoiding such a situation he has IN
structed the papei nuncio in Madrid
to continue the negotiations at all
costs, even to the extent of permitting
alterations to be made in the eoncor-
dat.
The pope justifies the attitude OF
f. the holy see by the fact that II the
reforms are allowed without protest
Spanish Catholics may become es-
tranged from the reigning house and
openly to side with the pretender. His
eounseIors, Cardinals Merry del Val
and Wives y Tuto. both OF whom are
Spanish. have limited that the present
crisis Is more dangerous to the Span,
fsh mouorchy than the holy see, as
the country's loyalty and devotion to
the church viii remain mistaken
while liberal sovereign will not be
supported BY the mass OF the popula-
ton.
