IMPORTANT DECISION OF
JUDGE SMITH INDICATED
Supreme Court Of State Reverses It
self and Upholds former Judge.

|
self and Upholds former Judge.
A decision rendered by the state SUI
preme court last week completely re-
versed former decision and sustain
ed court decision rendered by the
late Judge Frank ]. Smith of this dis
trict. The case was that Of A. 3.
Moss and brother against A. H. Ra-
mey and involved the ownership of
a 100-acre island in Snake river. Judge
Smith held that because the Moss bro
theirs held the land bordering the
stream they did not by virtue thereof
hold ownership to land that might be
in the river and between their land
and the center of the stream. He was
reversed by the state supreme court
which now reverses its former deci-
sion and places itself in harmony with
decisions rendered by the United
States supreme court.
The Idaho supreme court held that
the riparian owner was the owner of
the unsurveyed island in the Snake
river for the reason that it was be-
tween the main channel of the river
and the balance of the claimants
land. The supreme court of the
United States held that an island in
existence in the river when Idaho be-
came state did not pass to the state
with statehood, but remained the
property of the United States.
Under this decision by the United
States supreme court it is now held
that the Moss brothers could not es-
tablish ownership to the island in
question. The cause is therefore re-
manded to the trial court in the de-
cision handed down on Wednesday
with directions to enter judgment
dismissing the action.
This final decision was written by
Justice Sullivan and fully concurred
in by Chief Justice Ailshie and JUS
tice Stewart. The final conclusion
of the state court, justifying its own
reversal, is given as follows:
we are not unmindful of the con-
tention by respondent that the deci-
sion of this court on the previous ap-
peal is to the law of the case and that
we are bound to adhere to the con-
clusion reached at that time. That
rule pravails in this state, as was stat
ed in the previous opinion, but the
facts of this case are peculiar, and we
believe it our duty to dispose of each
case on its own facts and circum-
stances so as to meet the requirements
of the law as nearly as possible. If
this land in controversy is still part
Of the public domain, as is undoubted-
ly the case under the decision OF the
supreme court of the United States in
the Scott-Lattig case, it is clearly our
duty to take notice of that fact as it
appears in the case and decide ac-
cordingly, even though we have pre-
viously decided to the contrary. This
case turns solely on federal question,
and we are bound to follow the deci-
sion of the~federal supreme court as
we understand them. This latter case
runs counter to what this court had
understood the previous decisions of
that court to hold, and it is our in
tention to follow it as far as we think
it goes. For these reasons we do not
think that the rule of res adjudicata,
or law of the case, applies to this case
as it would apply>jf no federal ques-
tons were involved"

Papers Criticise Fail

Toxic May 4.-The Japanese press to-
day generally conceded the apparent In
evitab,lity OF the passage of the alien
land bill In California. a general ap-
probation OF the efforts Of President VIII
son in behalf Of a measure that would
prove unobjectionable 10 the japanese Is
also expressed.
Leaders OF public opinion are advising
that an attitude OF calmness be main
tanned in the present situation. Such
men as Baron Shibusawa and Chairman
Nakano, Of the Tcko Chamber OF Com
merce, publicly assert their confidence
that the American government and people
alike arc opposed to discriminatory legis-
lation. They declare every effort must
now be made to discover and eradicate
the root OF antagonlsm to the Japanese
in California, In order that amicable rela-
tons may be restored.
While the japanese newspapers voice
these sentiments they blame the govern
ment for what they term a failure OF
diplomacy
Special dispatches received from Wash
ington telling of reported plans for the
mobilization OF the Japanese navy are
read here with ridicule by those best In
formed on naval plans.
