a TTORNEYS GENERAL Of half a
A dozen Great Lakes states, for
mer secretary of war, and former
solicitor general of the United States
argued for four hours in a final pres
entation to the UGlted States Su-
preme court of tie controversy over
Chicago's right TO divert Lake Michi-
gan water for sanitary and waterway
purposes.
Arrayed against Newton D. Baker,
former secretary of war, who appeared
as chief of counsel for Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indi-
ana, Michigan, and New York, seeking
an injunction to prevent further diver
sion, was James NJ Beck, former
solicitor general Of the United States,
assisted by Hugh Johnson, assistant
attorney general of Illinois, and Daniel
NJ Kirby, attorney general for Mis-
souri,.
Mr.. Bakers contention before the
court was, in brief, that the War de-
partment was not authorized to per-
NIT the diversion OF lake water for any
purpose-that such authority was
vested alone in congress.
Mr.. Beck pointed out that as So
licstor general he had upheld the right
OF former Secretary of War Weeks to
issue the diversion permit of March 5,
1925, and that he had represented the
government in earlier litigation which
resulted in decision affirming the
War departments right to issue such
permits.
