OLD TREATY IS VOlDABLE

1T WAS MADE
Observation-Disclosures
TAYLOR THINKS UNITED STATES
WOULD FARE BADLY IN SUCH
TRIBUNAL

Washington, July 24.-Hannis Tay-
lor, former minister to Spain and a
writer on international Jaw, published
an open letter here today contending
that the Hay-Pauncefote treaty is void
able because of the situation arising
out Of Panama's ceding the canal zone
to the United States.
There is no room for hairsplitting
on that point" writes Mr.. Taylor
within the canal zone the United
States is sovereign for purposes Of
international law. Under the law it
is well settled that treaty becomes
voidable, not void, whenever a change
has taken place in the fundamental
conditions existing at the time it was
made"
The writer quotes Hall, the Eng
lish authority on international law.
in support of that contention. Mr..
Taylor refers to Russia's reputation
in 1870 Of certain portions Of the
treaty Of Paris, relating to the Black
Sea and contends it set precedent
upon which the United States may act
In conclusion the writer contends
in part:
I'VE must take the firm stand under
the well defined principle of the in
ternational law as promulgated by the
Russian precedent of 1870, that after
there has been an essential change
in the conditions existing at the time
the treaty was made it becomes void
able In that way we can justly lift
the question out of the domain of in
ternational arbitration where we
could never obtain a fair hearing, to
the domain of diplomatic negotiation
with Great Britain, where we will be
sure to receive fair and friendly con-
sideration.

ROOSEVELT CONTESTS

Washington, July 24.-Specific de-

the contested cases brought before
either the national CT credentials
committee was made in a speech de-
livered in the house today by Repre-
sentative Mondell of Wyoming, who

tests as mere bluffs without shadow
of substantiation.
Mr.. Mondell presented a categori-
cal review of the various contests, us
ing data which it was understood lat
er would be given out from the White
House in an attempt to correct what
the administration held to be a
wrongful conception by the public of
events at Chicago The speaker de-
clared that Colonel Roosevelt and
some of his supporters in voicing
charges of fraud had, by their vehem-
ence and persistency in period OF
unrest and suspicion profoundly in
fluenced many good people.g

age estimated at s1,00d.OOO was
wrought today from rne breaking Of
two dams on the Wisconsin river

were washed out and fourth was
partly destroyed.
All electric power, including street
car service, has been put out of COM

away are known as the romahawk-
Brokaw structures. Fhe flood made
inroads on the water works plant

port lacks confirmation.

New York, July 2S.-The trail that

bier. told the grand jury that Rose

indicated that the gray automobile
which figured 50 prominently in the
Rosenthal case was used merely as a

Action Is the Result Of Disagreement Over
Terms Of New Contract
OFFER OF $L25O A YEAR IS REFUSED
Wafer Company Declares This Rate is Far Too Low But Willing
to Consult With City Officials Regard to Drawing Agreement
That viii be Mutually Satisfactory In the Meantime all
Street Sprinkine and Watering OF City Parks Will
Cease-AmpIe Fire Protection is Furnished

Notice has been served by the
Aqua Pura company upon the officials
of the city Of Las Vegas that no more
water must be drawn from that cor
poration's mains for municipal use
until a new contract has been signed
This new. chapter in the controVer-
sy between the city and the Aguzl
Pura company was written last night
when stephen Powers, superintendent
for the water company, maile1 t let-
ter to each meruber of the ci.y couu-
ell laying down mis- corporations u.ti-
matum. An i1nltical letter 10 Mayor
Robert ]. Taupert was mailed three
days ago.
The water eompanys action means
that the city will be deprived of the
use of water for sprinkling the
streets, flushing the sewers, water
ing the grass in the parks and operat-
ing the lavatories in the city hall, city
Jail and school buildings.
In case of fire the Aqua Pura COM
pany has given the fire department
permission to use water from the fire
plugs. but that is the only concession
made.
The contract between the city and
the Aqua Pura company for furnish
ing water for municipal purposes ex-
pired in April of this year. The new
city administration, through the may
or and water committee, informed the
company that it would renew the con-
tract only at the rate of $1,250 per
year. while the rate called for in the
expired agreement was about 81,
500. The company refused this offer,
through Superintendent Powers. AT
the last meeting of the council, one
week ago tonight. motion was pass
ed unanimously to the effect that the
city would not recede from its posi-
ton and would renew its contract
only at the s1,25O annual rate. The
Aqua Pura company Immediately took
action which resulted in the order to
the city to suspend the use of its wat
er.
The councils contention Is that the
old contract charged a sufficient
rate to enable the Aqua Rura COM
pany to pay for~the installation OF
the portion of its plant used by the
city and that it had been in force for
a sufficient number of years to COM
plete all such payments; hence re
duction should be maze.
The Aqua Pura company's conten-
ton is that it furnishes the city its
water at rates much lower than those
in force in majority of the cities OF
the size of Las Vegas IN all parts OF
the country and that it makes further
concessions by furnishing a large
amount of free water, which is utiliz-
ed in the flushing of sewers and in
the city hall and pubic school build
ings.
When seen by representative OF
The Optic this morning Mayor Robert
J. Taupert authorized the publication
of the following statement in regard
to the water situation:
