PREDICTS DELAY
in WATER HEARIRC

State Engineer Kearney came n
from Carson City yesterday morning
and during the day filed a demurrer
in the suit of Peter Anker VS.. w. M.
Kearney. as State Engineer, and five
hundred or more water users along
the Humboldt river and its tributs-
ries. He returned to the capital last
evening.
When asked concerning his views
regarding the water suit recently
filed by Peter Anker against five hun
dred other water users on the Hum
boldt river, and particularly as to
when it might be brought to trial and
decided, he remarked that IL the suit
instituted by Bliss against Grayson
and five or six others some years ago
could be used as criterion, consid-
ering the relative number of defend
ants and relative acreage involved, II
might possibly be taken through the
courts, under existing procedure, in
from twenty to fifty years. The plain
tiff will be required to serve each OF
the five hundred or more defendants,
at his own expense, and of course that
will consume from one to two years,
Judging by the time consumed by the
government in serving the water users
on the Truckee meadows. Four years
and one month have passed since that
suit was filed and the preliminaries
are not yet complete; yet only small
fraction of the number of parties are
involved there as compared with the
number in the Humboldt river case.
The government also has the facilities
for making rapid progress. don't
look for any immediate results from
the action.

PRESIDENT WILSON
DECLARES FOR WAR
INV International News service)


WASHINGTON, April al In his
address last night President Wilson
urged Congress to declare a state of
war with Germany. He characterized
the course of the German government
as a challenge TO all mankind and a
warfare against all nations. Neutral
ity is not desirable where the peace of
the world is involved. Germany is
the natural foe of liberty and free
dom. He urged the utmost co-opera-
ton with the entente allies, the ex-
tension of liberal credits, and the or
ganization of an army of five hun
dred thousand men and a full equip
ment of the navy, raising the neces-
sary money on basis of equitable
taxation. He urged that in the mean
time we rush supplies to the allies
The President made ii plain that we
have no quarrel with the German peo-
pie and have toward them a feeling
of sympathy and friendship. II was
not upon their impulse that their
government entered the war. which
was provoked by group Of ambitious
men, as in the days of the old dynas-
ties. He said self-governing nations
would not fill neighboring states with
spies nor contrive plots of assassina-
ton. He was convinced. he said. that
the Prussian autocracy had never
been friendly toward this country.
and in his opinion the selfish designs
of the German government had forced
the war.

RED OAK. Iowa. Nov. 15.-With
only four more tentative jurors to be
selected when court convened today,
1T was thought the second trial Of

numbering eight persons at Villisca

Saturday.
Less trouble Is being experienced
in selecting the jurors in this trial
than in choosing the twelve men that
disagreed In the first trial.
The appearance of T. G. Brown.
whose vote prevented an acquittal in
the first trial as spectator. brought
forth a new line of questions to the

asked the prospective jurors whether
they had ever discussed the case
with Brown or heard him express an
opinion.
