JUDGE BEAN HANDS
TWO OF CASES ARE
ECHO WATER SUITS
Joseph Cunliu Allowed to Take Wa
ter from Umatillu Allen Ditch
Company Has lrior Right to 500
Inches of Water Placer Mining
Suit Decided.
ln the circuit court today decisions
were given by Judge Bean in three
civil cases, two of them being Echo
water suits.
In the case of Frank Donnelv and
W. H. Daughtrey versus Joseph Cun
ha the court rendered a decision fa
vorable to the defendant. The plain
tiffs had asked for an injunction re
straining the defendant from taking
water from the Umatilla river at the
Jimmy Taylor place. In doing so they
acted in behalf of the Henrietta Mill
ing company. However, the court
held that the defendant, Cunha. has
a prior right and he is awarded the
use of 150 inches of water, miners'
measure.
The second water suit upon which
decision was given was that of Fred
Andrews, the Allen Ditch company et
al versus Frank Donnelv and W. H.
Daughtrey, representing the Henrietta
Mill company.
This suit involved the use of water
below the mill, tho plaintiffs claim
ing the right to 10SO inches of water.
The court decreed that the plaintiffs
have a prior right to 500 inches of
water during the low water season.
Placer Mining Suit.
In the suit of Loney, Knight et al
versus Scott and which involved title
to three placer mining claims on the
Columbia river above Umatilla, the
court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs.
This suit involved the question as to
whether or not the claims are more
valuable as mineral claims or as ag
ricultural land. In a written decision
Judge Bean held for the plaintiffs.
Feminists' Friends Lost.
Vienna. There is little comfort for
feminists in reports of the role played
by women in the Hungarian elections.
It is stated by tile Zeit that every
candidate who was assisted by women
workers failed. This was the case
"wh"ther they supported the candi
date of the frenzied and sanguinary
opposition or devoted themselves to a
pious and refined representative of
tho government."
The moral is, according to the de
feated candidates, that the lovely
Magyar women should remain in
church on election days and allow the
men to fight the political battles un
hampered. Drydock Dewey Afloat.

Kansas City, June 29. Dr. Hyde

believed it will be granted. Hyde
will remain in the county Jail for a
time as his wife is soon to become a

ABDUL HAD MANY SPIES.
Archives of Corruption and Intrigue
Yield 30 Cases of Reports to
the Sultan.
Constantinople. It will be remem-
bered that when the Young Turks
captured Yildiz last year, beside
jewels and treasures they entered in
to possession of the whole collection
of secret reports and delations which
had accumulated there during over a
quarter of a century, thanks to the
activity and industry of Abdul Ha
mid's secret agents. These archives
of treachery, corruption and intrigue
have not yet even been counted, but
their bulk fills 300 odd cases which
have been stored at the war office.
A special commission is at pres
ent engaged in classifying and regis
tering these reports, but has been
able to examine only about half so
far. This heritage of the old regime
is threatening to prove a regular Pan
dora's box for the new government.
The archives contain evidence and
records of the shame of so many of
ficials and otliers who yield to the
corruption of the secret service that
their publication would create in
credible confusion and general con
sternation. Very few officials under Abdul Ha
mid were able to resist the tempta
tion to do a little spy work it was
one of the only ways of securing ad
vancement, and it is stated that many
deputies, senators, ambassadors, even
ministers, as well as numerous less
important officials, have cause t
dread the relevations of the Yildix
archives.
