OF STATE WATER RIGHTS Is
DECLARED BY THE SUPREME
COURT UNCONSTITUTIONA

Denver. Dec. 10.-What promi-
nent Colorado attorneys and irriga-
ton men declare is the mos. import
ant opinion ever given out by the
state supreme court affecting the
states right to water in streams
within it's boundaries, which the
federal government as we'll as
Wyoming and other states are now
contesting in their efforts to re-
strain Colorado from using maxi
mum amount of water in its
streams, was made yesterday In a
decision handed down in the suit Of
Louis r. Stockman against the state
auditing board, the governor, at
torney general. secretary of state,
state treasurer and state auditor.
The supreme court holds that an
effort of the state legislature to
create a law and then appoint GER
tain of its members as an executive
agent to carry out the law, as 1t
did in the Stockman case. in which
it appropriated $4,000 to defray
legal and other expenses of Joint
committee from both houses to In
vestigate the alleged infringement
Of other states on Colorado's water
supply, is contrary to Article III of
the state constitution.

PROMISE
'lii;if HELP ON
BUILDING
CAMPAIGN OF BUSINESS MEN
FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR
POSTOFFICE Is BEGINNING TO
GET RESULTS

The concerted effort on the part
of the Commercial club and promi-
nent Greeley business men as indi-
yiduals to get an additional appro-
priation of $4,000 for the new
federal building bids fair to be ef-
fective. judging from replies being
received to the night letters sent
out recently to members of congress.
Senator William E. Borah of Ida
no has promised support and 1t is
expected that others will follow his
lead. 1t is hoped to secure the
cooperation of all senators from
the western states, 80 that when the
appropriation comes up it will be
allowed without further debating.
The federal building for Greeley
las hung fire for years because OF
various contingencies. The matter
of securing a site was delayed
through litigation and by the time
site was secured the original ap-
preparation of $4,000 had become
inadequate for the class of building
that is needed here now.

Up for Slavery

to, indicted on two white slavery
charges by the grand jury at Pu-
eblo recently, was found guilty on
one, freed from the second and SEN
fenced by Federal Judge Lewis to a
term OF 90 days in the county Jail.
Yamamoto was charged with TAX
inp his American wife from Eaton,
Colo, to Cheyenne. Wyo.. for i'm
moral purposes. He was further
accused Of bringing his wife from
Cheyenne to Denver with the same
first count that Yamamoto was
found guilty.
Owing to the fact that Yamamoto
was married to Susie Yamamoto,
Judge Lewis gave him a light SEN
tence.
Mrs. Yamamoto is pretty and
seems to be deeply in love with her
little brown husband. Her loyalty
to her Japanese spouse was shown
by the fact that she refused to leave
the county jail, where her husband
has been confined without bail
when she herself could have been
released on bond.
"Japs make fine husbands" as
serted Mrs. YamamOto. yesterday
