SUSTA|NS STATES SIDE.
Court of Civil Appeals Decides
at Austin That
ECKHARDT IS RECEIVER.
In an Opinion Covering Eighteen Type
Written Pages 1t Is Set Forth That
Taylor Man Has Exclusive Charge OF
Waters-Pierce Property In Texas.

Austin. June 29.-In a lengthy opin.
ion the court of civil appeals rendered
its decision in the Waters-Pierce Oil
company receivership controversy. The
decision, is a complete victory for the
state and the receiver named by the
district court, Robert J. Eckhardt of
Taylor. The court of civil appeals
held that it had complete and excaH-
sive Jurisdiction in the case and that
Federal Judge Bryant of the United
States circuit court has no right under
the law to assume jurisdiction and ap-
point Federal receiver to take charge
of the property of the Waters-Pierce
Oil company in Texas pending the
disposition of the case in the state
courts. The court also directed the
state receiver, Robert J. Eckhardt, to
appear before Judge Bryants court
and there by suit, plea and application
urge and insist upon the rights of the
state and the Jurisdiction of the court
OF civil appeals in and over the prop
erty in controversy, and to ask for
such orders, DEGREES and judgments as
may be deemed necessary and proper,
anG to appeal and perfect such appeals
and writs of error as may be deemed
proper.
The court holds that the decree of
Judge Bryant. in naming a Federal re-
ceiver could hardly have been broader,
and if this decree should be carried
out by Federal Receiver Dorchester it
would materially affect the interest of
the state and the exercise of jurisdic-
ton by this court.
The court says: can examination
of the authorities in illustrating the
question that second receivership
will be allowed by another court, in
certain instances, affords no case that
will justify the assumption of jurisdic
ton by the circuit court of the Eastern
district of Texas in taking possession
of the property in controversy. The
decree of each court appointing a re-
ceiver is as broad as the other. Under |
each the same purpose can be accom-
plished, the same protection and rights
accorded; and we see no peculiar cir |
cumstances existing which would JUS |
tify the interference by the circuit |
court on the grounds that the proceed |
ings as to the receivership In that |
court are different from the one pend |
ing in this court; nor can that decree
be construed as a mere temporary
expedient looking to the preservation
and protection of the property during
the time the case In this court is pend.
ing on appeal"
The court of civil appeals in its opin-
Ion depends largely for jurisdiction on
the new law passed by the Thirtieth
which gives the state
lien on property of any corporation
which shall have been found guilty of
violating antitrust laws.
The court concludes its opinion By
saying that it feels sure that after
Judge Bryant gives full consideration
to the matter he will grant the relief
asked for by the state receiver and
