Protes ' Against Idaho Supreme ti Court Decision MayTResul . . in Legislative Action; Boise.. Idaho, July 20. Reciprocal re lations between Idaho and Oregon over the Use of waters of streams, promises v tg become an Issue for the respective ' legislatures. The Idaho supreme court decision In the case of Walbrldge and Bailey versus Johnson' gave Idaho ex elusive , right to the waters 'in Its streams, rivers, creeks and lakes where they have their origin In Idaho and flow In this state but from which water is taken to, other, states for Irrigation pur- yvBWi 1 -.f - . , -- , Oregon Beseats Thl Decision. ' Btate Engineer Robinson has had letter from State Engineer Lewis of Salem, Or., calling to his attention the decision of the Idaho supreme court In the Walbrldge case and declaring that unless reciprocal arrangements can be entered Into, ha may take action to see that water which has Its origin In i the state of Oregon Is not used In Idaho. He refers to the use of water from . Sucker creek In Oreron for the lrrla-a. tion of lands In Idaho. Aotlon of this kind, should it be taken, would. It Is believed, do an Injury to these projects. It U not anticipated, l.owever, that any action of the kind will be taken as the permit for the use of the water to this creek has already been Issued, and It would be difficult If not Impossible to revoke It. Vy State Engineer. Robinson recently is sued a permit to Parmer and Parker for the use of Idaho water to Irrigate land In eastern Oregon, Irrespective of the fact the source of the water supply was In this state, and because It would have been Impractical and, in fact, small not to have issued the permit for the water . as It could not be used to advantage In Idaho. What Court's Baling Zs. The attitude taken by the state en gineer is favorable to reciprocal rela tions between the states. He believes that their interests are more or less in common and that failure to have coop eration would be Injurious to all of the states Interested In the Intertwining waters. The supreme court In the Walbrldge case made the following significant rul lng: "The state has a right to forbid and prohibit the appropriation and diversion 0. its public waters for application and use beyond the confines b? the state and within the jurisdiction of another state. "Statutes are intended to apply and be confined In their" operation to per sons, properties, and rights which are within the territorial Jurisdiction of the law-making power; and one who claims the benefit of such laws for either per son or property beyond the territorial Jurisdiction of the law making power must rest sulph claim upon a statute granting puchlextra-terrltorlal right. "No presumption arises, from a fail' ure Of the state throdgh Its legislative authority to speak on the subject, that the state intends to; grant any right privilege or authority under its laws to be exercised beyond Its Jurisdiction. "The state of Idaho has not granted the right to appropriate and divert the waters of this state for application to any beneficial use beyond the confines of the state." interstate Aspects of It.

The turbulent elope ment of Pletro Mascagnl, the erratlo composer wrlth Irma Bernini, an. allur ing vaudeville dancer, has narrowly escaped a traglo conclusion. Not only did the Slgnora Mascagnl make a desperate assault on her hus band with a heavy house key and the keys of old Italian houses are no mean weapons of offensebat It Is reported that today she attempted to . commit ulclde. Happily the remaining members of her family seized and disarmed' the desper ate woman before she could accom plish her purpose. Meanwhile Pletro and Irma are safely in hiding, and It Is asserted that they have received a romantic asylum In the house of one of the composer's irienas. ' lympatny With; Husband. As the facts become clearer there is a strong trend of excuse, If not of sympathy, toward the man who won fame with 'Cavallerla RusUcana," while the feeling for the abandoned wife has become one of discreet condolence. Without any attempt to exculpate Mascagnl, it cannot be denied that he has not been overburdenedjaltlLiloniea tlc felicity. The Slgnora Mascagnl has doubtless been of great assistance in spurring her clever, but dlletantte hus band to accomplishment but the result Cavallerla Rusticana," who eloped with vaudeville dancer, and hi family. has been much' marital friction.'' ' It Is a case, In a word, temperamental and' temper. . On the one hand is a pale, militant, haggard- wife, with angular features, who looks quite able to "boss" any one so sensitive as Mascagnl; on the other is an extremely pretty and sympathetic young woman. As a matter ' of fact, Mascagnl has had quite an experience with the home boss, who has very much surprised his activity when he was musically unproductive. In this there lies a true regret, for the wife has been the husbaad's - guide and .counsellor, as well- as his virtual manager; so that from a business colnt of view the escape from this beneficent Influence Is likely to be a loss to the world. But this good management has been shadowed by extreme Jealousy and violent outbursts of anger. Wild Scene Enacted. When Mascagnl returned home after visiting Ms amorata, whom he first met in London and whom he had Installed at the Costanzi theatre, there was a ter rible scene. The angry wife declared she had 'discovered everything," .and as proof gave the address of the lovers' meeting place. Confronted with the facta, Mascagnl told hlajriXa plamply that Jife. .with her was Impossible and that h waa determined to leave her . and live with Ms irma. Instantly Slgnora Mascagnl leaped Into fury. She flung all available ob jects, at her husband, and whefc he suc ceeded In dodging these she pulled the before-mentioned heavy key from a door and brought It down with a heavy whack on the composer's arm, tempo rarily crippling him. Then a strange thing happened. The children sided with their father and the mother, blinded with anger, struck the daughter. Stranger atill, when Mascagnl. with limp arm, escaped from the house, the daughter, almost as angry as her mother, escaped also and joined her father In his flight. Mascagnl and his daughter made their way to Arcachon to Join the poet Gabriele D'Annunzlo, to one of whose librettos the composer has been setltng music, and there all trace of the fugi tlves, Including Irma. is lost. It Is h- lleved. however, that they have gone to Paris. Slgnora Mascagnl's outbreak was fol lowed by a condition of collapse, but next day, Wednesday, she woke to new activity, and, taking her husband's automobile she set out In pursuit. She had proceeded as far as Florence in the chase when friends Induced he to re turn tO Rome to avoid furthor xin. dal .. The scandal would hav hn mur-W further aggravated had the slgnoa car ried out her tragic idea of suicide, but here again friends intervened. ' PUBLIC DEMANDS CHANGES IN .

The discharge of the Goddess of Lib erty from' her Jo.b, of decorating the 6 cent piece of "nickel" Is one of the most recent changes suggested. Sec retary of the Treasury MacVeagh is said to approve of sidetracking the goddess and. In place, emblaion the "nickels" with pictures of a buffalo possibly rampant. Nobody seems to be displeased with the faithful services of the God dess on the coins, but the coin reform ers wish a change to the buffalo. How ever, the patriotic Daughters ef tho American Revolution are registering vig orous protests against displacement of the goddess. .....Experimenting. withpeunles Is another currency change prominently before the federal money makers. The Lincoln penny was at first unsatisfactory be cause the pennies could not be aiacneq easily Dy bank tellers.

Recolnage of three cent nieces of a size between that of a dime and a quar ter is another plan. A bill authorizing the coinage of three cent pieces passed the house, but went on the legislative rocks in the senate. The three cent coins were specially demanded In Cleve land, Ohio, where the Carfare is S cents, Coinage of half cent pieces was also authorised in the same bill, but was vig orously opposed by department store proprietors and other merchants, who stood to lose the half cent profit on many sales. Slot machine operators also ODnosed coinage of half cent and three cent coins, declaring their machines would be val ueless and that they would have to de vise new machinery and build entirely new slot machines to meet the changes In coins. Manufacture of a two cent Dlec. haa i also been advocated In manv letters : Secretary MacVeagh has received.

Smaller Sills Suggested, Present style of Daoer monev also promises to undergo a revolution. To make all paper bills smaller is rro- ppsed. This change is in line with the uniform size of European currency, al most all of which is considerably ml. ler than United States currency. To re duce the size of paper bills about 33 per cent is suggested, but. loud wails of indignation from manufacturers of miri and bill books halted the proposed change. Managers of the bureau of ininv. Ing viewed with alarm the proposal to decrease the size of paper money. Their engraved plates, printing Dresses and all other machinery are designed to fit only the present size of money. All would be thrown in the scraD hean and new equipment made necessary If the proposed changes are adopted.

She displayed no artillery and was wholly unwarllke as she took a . seat and pro ceeded to read a magazine. The circus started at the other end of the line; " Now, ' the 'other end of the line Is Eleventh and SansOm streets. The car conveyed the pretty belligerent down Tenth, street and turned out Sansom to Eleventh. That was the place the conductor fired all passengers or col lected a fare for the up trip.

The distance was all of half a block. "Then you'll have to pay another fare," asserted the conductor. But Margaret renlgged. She said she was going to Chestnut street and would be the femnlne equivalent for dad bust ed if she would shed another coin. Ar guments proved unavailing. The con. ductor pleaded, threatened and promised to have her locked up for a year or boiled In oil or something If she didn't get off or pay. Margaret calmly read her magazine. The cars began to pile up behind and a crowd gathered and grinned. The mo. torman pulled his controller, but hesi tated to swat her with It Then the conductor hustled to find a cop. He found one. He hastily explained the circumstances, and the cop refused to fall for It. He said he was on his way to work and was noL yet on duty, Then the conductor hustled around and found another cop. This one walked cur lously to the car, .thought the matter over, and then crawfished. He said it wasn't on his beat, anyway. The dls gusted conductor got out a search war rant and found another cop. This one boldly entered the car and held converse with Margaret. ' JJot Impressed toy Cop. But a bluecoat and brass buttons, a shield and a club failed to impress Mar garet any. more than did the controller, or the crowd.

They are the ex pert advertisement writers. '' One of them, manager of the savings department of a big trust company In St. Louis, spoke before the Mississippi bankers recently on the technique of this sort of advertising, .What he said Is sound doctrine for everybody who has. at any time, to nut toe-ether words which will influence a customer. "In . soliciting checking and savings accounts," he said, "you appeal to all classes, and there is no way to direct It so effectively as through the columns Of your local newspaper. r- "Tbe second step In doing the adver tising for our bank Is to. provide your Self wlth'the necessary equipment, You must have, so to speak, a kit of tools, and that Is: Four eyes, four ears, pot of paste, long shears, vest pocket mem orandum book,, blue pencil, dictionary, book of synonyms, book of autonyms, scrap books.
