SAN DIEGO, April 28.—Judge Torrence in the Superior Court decided that the injunction asked for by the ranchers tak- ing water along the line of the San Diego fiume to prevent that company from regu- lating the flow of water to them by ad- Justing their gates, or in any way reduc- | Ing their supply, shall not be granted. In his opinion, which is of general in- | terest throughout the State, Judge Tor- |nally done a court of equity will not interfere. The plaintiffs proceed upon the theory that they are entitled to the water in the { flume and that any tampering with their measuring boxes will interfere with their rights. There is no allegation that the flume company has been shutting off the entire supply: the allegation Is that the company has prevented them from recelv- ing their whole amount. “In a number of contracts it is stipu- lated that if a shortage occurs the water shall be distributed equally. That exis now, and the answer shows that there Is not ‘suficient water there to supply If there were no such clause they would entitled to a pro rata anyhow. There is a doubt in my mind whether a preferred right could be enforced as against other consumers. Why should a court of equity er to two or three consumers the detriment of all the rest? The grounds on which the temporary injunc- tion is denled is that a court of equity will not interfere to enforce some techni- cal right. ““The plaintiffs do not allege that the | Edward E.

WASHINGTON, April 28—The House passed a number of bills of .importance to-day, and the major portion of the ses- sion was devoted to the Senate bill to create a commission to adjudicate claims of citizens of the United States against Spain, assumed by this country by the treaty of Paris.

X-COUNCILMAN HENRY HAYES died this afternoon at his residence, 626 East Fourteenth street, from an apoplectic stroke Induced by worry- ing over the implled criticism of his busl ress dealings to which he has been sub- jected during the progress of the Brooks will contest. The deceased has been a resident of this city since 1872 and was a member of the wholesale butcher firm of Hayes, rick & Co. and later of Henry Hayes & Co. until the year 18%, when he retired from an active commercial career. At one time he was a City Councilman and took a keen interest in public affairs. For many years the late fayette Brooks was a partner of Mr. Hayes and the ex- Councilman has figured prominently in the will contest instituted by Mrs. Alice Wilkinson, a daughter of Brooks, which is now on trial in Judge Greene's depart- ment of the Superior Court. 3 During the progress of this case Attor- neys representing Mrs. Wilkinson have asked numerous questions plainly indicat- ing an opinion that prior to his death Brooks had been unfairly treated by his artner. Particular stress was laid on the urning of the books of the firm. According to David Symmes, bookkeeper for the old firm and a trusted employe of the deceased for many years, ayes brooded much over what he regarded as attacks on his honesty. Hayes himself was summoned as a wit- ness yesterday in the case. He was sub- Ject to grilling cross-examination. He ‘was just recovering from a severe tack of grip. When he reached home af- ter his experience in court he was so weak that Dr. de Larue was summoned to attend him. He felt much improved to- day and worked for a while in his gar- den. About half-past 3 o’clock in the af- terncon he went into his chamber to take Car- | be It Resolved.
