By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. Jan. --.A "contro-
versy botweon cltlzpns of the states 6f
California and Nov.ada Involving the
right to use for irrigation and other
purposes the patera of tho Walker
river which flow 'in both states and
attacking tho jurisdiction at tho Uni-
ted States Circuit Court In Nevada to
interfere In the title rights to lands
in California was argued In the Sup-
remo C6urt of the tJnltod States today
The caBo was originally entitled."
"Miller &tVUx vs Thomas P. Rickey".
Tho plaintiffs own about 23.000 acres
of land In Nevada lying along tho
Walker Rlver.and the defendant Rick-
ey and associates hold title to about
40000 acres located lit California along
i -itho hendyaters of the same. river and
"" above tho Miller and I.u property
Miller and Lux begun the original
action .in tho United States Circuit
court in Nevada In 1902 to" restrain tho
Rickey Interest from using the waters
of the Walker River In California
which they alleged deprived them of
their supply ln.Novada. Rickey plead-
ed lack pi jurisdiction on the part of
tho court but Judge1 pawley of tho
"United States Circuit Court of Nevada
held that he had a right to regulate
tho .titles to land in California Tllo
defendants then brought suit. In the
Superior Court of Mono county Cali-
fornia against Miller and Lux to quiet
jtitle to.tho California land:
Judgo Hawiey upon application of
Mlllei; and Iux enjoined tills' action on
tho ground of anlnvasipnottheJurls.-
-diction of the federal cbtirt. The Clr-
cult Court of Appeals 'at San Francis-
co sustained the 'injunction' and the
u rcaso ' reached the United States Sup-'
remo Court on appeal-of the Nevada
parties from that affirmance
' The case is sintllar to that wherein
the waterB of tho Arkansas srlvorrr
were in dispute between the citizens
of Kansas and Colorado some .years
ago and which was decided finally in
favor of Colorado. The decision in
that case however was founded upon
the presumption that the people of
Colorado would be more seriously
damaged by a decision against them
than would the people of Kansas
In the present case tho court Is"'
expected to decidp the ownership of
the waterB of a river 'running through
jtwo or more states and also the ques-
tion whether the courts of one state
"have a right to render decisions affec-
ting the titles to land lying within an-
other state.
Charles C. Boynton Attorney for the
RicTcoy Interest denied this right lri his
argument today; He declared that tho
old question of state rights was again
Involved yln this caso. If tho preced-
ent were established In this case he
asserted) the. courts of Louisiana or of
any other state lying along the lower
parts of tho Mississippi river might
assume to regulato the titles of land
lying as far away as the banks of tho
Missouri river In Montana. Even tho
courts of Cnpada ho said might as-
sert their right to tako cognizance of
. tho conditions In tho United States af-
fecting land lying along streams
Which flow across tho borders of two
countries.
