'"These persona, it is true, are prison ers, having been charged with the crime of vagrancy, and as such prisoners are entitled to all fiecj.ary medical and surgical attention, as well as their sub sistence at government eicpensa. The c harps of vagrancy ia, however, merely a subterfuge resorted to as ,.the only means of extend'.; r pui.no aid to unfor tunates who wouil otherwise '. suffer and probably die. .. ZTo "Poor Xaws" for Alalia. rMany of these cases Involve ampo tations of the limb and a longr period of confinement in the hospital. The bills in "felnffle cases often run to tlsoa or more, in spite Of the faot that - the charge are keipt as low as possible. One of the ' United States Judges in Alaska calls my attention to the fact that Alaska has no laws to h!p the needy and deserving poor, such as all of the states have;-about the Only stat ute having the semblance of such a law beins the vagrancy act - I earnestly urjre vpon congress the adoption or some legllauon dealing directly with! these cases."; . . - 1 ' Cyttern of TTarellcg Courts, - The attorney general tells of a good measure originated In Alaska traveling courts. Tna treaaary department sap piles a fevenue cutter, which left Val-de-'Julyi, conveying the United States district Judge, attorney, marshal and other officials, who held court at a number of places along the coast. This was of advantage to litigants, who wers thus saved the heavy expense of travel ing the reat distances in Alaska. ; Reclamation - Watet 3&ifflits. : Mr. Wickersham discusses water rights for reclamation projects. ' Im portant litigation affecting government water rights Is pending. He says: . In Oregon, the department or Justio, for special reasons, authorised the ap pearance of the unitea states attorney in avproceeding before a state tribunal for the general aajuaication or water rights in tha Umatilla river. ' v ' "In Idaho a proceeding has een be gun by a privata . corporation which seeks to drag In the United States by UiiMni lfiOO- settlers under tha Mini- i a - . dokfl project and certain engineers 'or the reclamation service, ana even' ths secretary of the Interior, parties defend ant - The Bottlers have not acquired the rights aa yet; the officials,-' of coursa, have no interest In them, -and tba . Unitod States, Without rolantary appearance; cannot be bound. Such a proceeding, however, if Ignored, la like ly to produce some injoryv even, though It be no more than uncertainty. , "As the water righta are- the Ufa of the reclamation projects, their pro tection in litigation IS a subject oMbe very, first importance. - This depart meat should be supplied, with . fund f r td eniplo i Kit tf t m n irrt-.-ation law, wno n-.sv, x.rst, ivi.-e as t' ti;e whole situat-on,- sr i there upon take active charge cf litigation as ast;!gTied them, fcuca cass usually consume much time and f'uire careiui nisnaireraent besides an eipert under $u.iiding of the principles of irrig-a-tion as well as, irrigation law Involved la them. , Indians and Water Xrits. "Litigation has been directed tn the territory of Arizona for the pro tection of the water righta of the Pima Indians. Similar litigation may soon be necessary in Colorado and Oregon. The failure of the Indians to avail themselves of the facilities for irriga tion afforded by streams flowing through thoir reservations er allot ments has, with other causes, resulted in sucti ; extentdve appropriations by whites as . threaten to strip t many Indians of aH power to cultivate their allotments and thereby make a living for themselves. Serious questions ex ist as to whether this excessive appro priation of tha water may not be la ' violation of Indian treaties and sub ject to be enjoined at the suit of the United States. The situations present- ed are difficult A way must be found to protect tbe Indiana and tha policy of the government in regard to them without .inflicting , needless . hardship -upon their white neighbors who have diverted the water and are using It in good faith to Irrigate their farms. Power lights tn Porest Reserves. "A numbtr of complaints bar reached ths department from tha sec retary of agriculture against certain power companies which are claiming and ' occupying rights of way within national forests without the permis sion of tha government 'These mat ters are receiving careful consideration and will be acted upon In due course. Last August a bill was rued In tae northern district of California to en join the Hydro-lBleetrio Power com pany from proceeding with the con struction of a pipe line and waterway aoross certain lands within the Mono national forest, which the corpora tion claims : the : right to : oc cupy ) In - .that manner under certain mining locations.

To promote the cause ef an latamational court of Jus tice, the American Society for the Judi cial Settlement of International Dis putes met at tie New Wlllard hotel today and began what promises to be a highly notable conference. The promi nence of the speakers alone IS sufficient to attract wide public attention to the deliberations of the conference, the ses sions of Whioh will last three days. President TaTt, who Is honorary presi dent of the society, . heads the list of speakers, which also Include Secretary of State Knox, Senator Elihu Root, lit. Charles W. Eilot of Harvard, Judge Simeon E. Baldwin of Connecticut, Jo- Ffpn 11. Choate, Representative lucnara Iiartholdt of Missouri, Thomas Nelson Pagre, the noted author; William Dudley Foulke of Indiana, and Jonkheer 3. Low don, The Netherlands minister. , The purpose of the American Soci ety for the Judicial Settlement cf Inter national Disputes is distinctly different from the specif ic aims of other peace societies. . It does not confine its efforts to a propaganda for world peace or for general disarmament Its mission is to provide the machinery by which the two desirable object may become pos sible. Therefore,, It 1 wortctn for the establishment of an fatternatlonal court of arbitral justice, a recommended by the second Uagu oonferaaoe, and the creation of a world wide sentiment that will compel government to appeal to all matter to this proposed Court, Instead of resorting to warfare. -" Worthy of AtW&tioa.
