Unique Charge
 In Equity Suit

Washington = Tie unique charge that a neighbor state was committing a physical trespaSs on her territory was presented to the Supreme court in the original suit in equity lnst- st1ted by the state of North Dakota against Minnesota Operations of the Minnesota state drainage project based on the NIustika River. North Dakota, asserted, so increased the
 volume of that river that It was unable to carry the water off, and as a result in 1915-1916, extensive farm areas in North Dakota were nun dated to the grave distress and financial impairment of the owners.
 The court was asked to decide owh ether a state even in exercise Of an admittedly proper function designed for the benefit of it's citizens, should be permitted to injure/ innocent on- lockers whose sole offense was that of geographical location.
 Minnesota, replying, denied that
 the drainage $project had been en- tirely to blame for the floods of 1913 and 1916, and sought to show that the lands in question were more or less flooded in every annual wet sea- son. The section drained is part or a prehistoric lake, the brief said, eX- | tending over portions of three states and of common knowledge is of little 1 agricultural value because of it's low ness.
 With respect to the s4oo,o0o dam- ages claimed by North Dakota, Min 1 nesota contended that Federal courts l were within Jurisdiction In such ] damage suits

Trolley Co. Btu, Of
 $500, 900 Bad Debt,
 Says HighzUGy Head

Hartford-First indication of dras- tic cutting of proposed appropriations for state departments by the state board Of finance came to light yester- day in hearing of the appropria- tions committee when reductions of S1,11O,OOO in estimates of the high way department were disclosed. Since the total of requests was $4,226,50O, this represented a cut of nearly 25 per cent.
 Adding s6,oo0,oOo as the estimated aggregate of fines, forfeitures and fees that may be expected during the next two years under the motor ve- hicle law, the amount allowed the highway department by the board of finance is $9,126,50o. as against the figur of $10,226,500 that would be available if the department requests were not cut.
 This action leaves the highway de- partment $1S2,500 less than the amount allowed by the last session oi the legislature, exclusive of the fees from the motor vehicle department.

 There are thousands of VIennese who transact most of their business in the coffee houses. though they have offices and staffs of clerks. Ger mans say that the Austrian's passion for sitting in the coffee houses all day accounts for the fact that he had before the war but a small share of the worlds foreign trade
 There are several reasons for this coffee house habit One is that the Niennese goes there to rest. and most of them appear to have been born tired. He also grudges himself the price of a newspaper but in the cof- fee house he obtains free the privii- ege of reading nearly every Austrian newspaper and many from foreign countries. besides the illustrated weeklies and monthlies- In the course of. time he acquires the priv ilege of occupying table before one of the spacious windows for which the Vienna coffee houses are re- nowned and whence he may watch the procession of women passing

Highway Commissioner Bennett took occasion to state his regret that the board of finance had seen fit to make cuts, as he said the figures sub mitted were carefully prepared and represented the needs of the depart meut-
 The commissioner told the commit tee that the work of the department had been seriously handicapped in the past two years on account of the failure of the trolley companies to pay their share of bridge and road construction. The Connecticut com pany owes the department about $500,000 now, he said, and it looked like a hopeless bill.
 He agreed with Representative Os- born of Branford that, if the trolley companies do not pay for their share of the bridges, as required by sta tute, they ought to be compelled to pay toll for crossing the bridges, but again it would be a question of col lecting money where apparently none l is available.
