WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-A con-
troversy between the citizens of the
states of California and Nevada,
involving the right to use for irri-
cation and other purposes the wat
ers of the Walker river, which
flows in both states, and attacking
the jurisdiction of the United States
circuit court in Nevada to inter
fere 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 versus Thomas P.
Rickey.' The plaintiffs own about
$4,000 acres of land in Nevada,
lying along the Walker river, and
the defendant, Hickey, and asso-
ciates, hold title to about 10000
acres located in California along
the headwaters of the same river
and above the Miller and Lux prop
erty.
Miller and Lux begun the original
action in the United States circuit
court in Nevada in 1902, to restrain
the Hickey interest from using the
waters of the Walker river in Cal.
ifornia which they alleged de-
prived them of their supply in Ne
vada. Hickey pleaded lack of jul
risdiction on the part of the court
but Judge Hawley of the United
States circuit court of Nevada helt
that he had a right to regulate
the titles to land in California
The defendants then brought sui
in the superior court of Mono coun

Lux to quiet title to the Califor
MIA land.
Judge Hawley, upon application
Of Miller and Lux, enjoined thi
action on the ground of an inva

TAFT WANTS A
Committee THAT
Will DO WORK
BY Associated Press

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The
effort on the part of the republican
house organization to displace the
democratic caucus nominees for
places on the Ballinger-Pinc in
vestigation committee, now well un-
der way, promises to precipitate 4
warm fight either in the republican
caucus called for Wednesday night,
or on the floor of the house when
the matter comes to a final vote.
The democrats say they will resent
any attempt to turn down their
selections and a large number of
insurgent republicans say they will
support them on the ground that
the minority has a right to Eane
it's own committee members.
The insurgents are badly divided
on the proposition, and indications
are that many of them will refrain
from attending the republican eau
Gus as they do not wish to he
bound by the result. Several of the
democrats have declared that if
the republican caucus chooses them
instead of James, Rainey would de-
cline to serve. According to some
republican leaders President Taft
has made it understood that he
wanted committee that could for-
get politics and delve to the bot
tom of the controversy.
