Part of Chamisal Zone Be-
longs to Mexico Declares
Commission
DECISION IS new PRECEDENT
Leaves Several Points That Must
Be Still Cleared Up In
the Future.

(By Special Leased wire to New Mexican)
FL Paso, Texas, June 1.-THE in
ternational boundary commission, con-
sisting of General Anson Mills, Ameri-
can commissioner, Senor Puga. Mexi-
can commissioner. and Hon. Eugene
Lafteur of Montreal, Canada presid'
ing commissioner. today, handed down
its decision in the Chamisal arbitra-
tion.
The question submitted to the COM
mission was as to the international
title of the Chamisal tract, body of
accretion land lying between the pres
ent channel of the Rio Grande and
the obliterated and abandoned chan.
mel of the river as surveyed by the
boundary commission in 1852.
The tract is and always has been
physically and geographically a part
Of the city of Ell Paso, Texas. About
six thousand of the 10000 inhabitants
of Ell Paso live upon the tract.
The opinion and award of the COM
mission are indecisive. The net re-
suit of the opinions of the three COM
missioners, which agree only at GER
tain points of contact, is an attempt
ed division of the tract between the
United States and Mexico, the suggest
ed dividing line being the channel OF
the river as it ran in 1864, line
which the commission does not at
tempt to relocate and which is i'm
possible of relocation. The decision
marks a notable departure.
1t is the first attempt SO far as Is
known in the history of jurisprudence
to divide accretion land upon the the.
ory that slow erosion would change
the boundary line and that rapid ero'
sion would not.
| Vigorous dissenting opinions were
filed both by the American and Mexi'
can commissioners. In concluding his
opinion, the American commissioner
says that the award "breathes the
spirit of unconscious but nevertheless
unauthorized compromise rather than
of judicial determination"
| In substance the commissioners
found that up to certain point the
/ lands on the Ell Paso side of the river
grew by accretion but that at another
period there was sudden cutoff by
the river of a considerable portion
of Mexican territory. The lands
gathered by accretion belong to
America; the lands suddenly cut of
from Mexico belong to the latter
country. 1t is believed to be impos
sible to draw the line between the
| two and the whole case must be rele'
gated to diplomatic adjustment.
Arbitration Fails.
Washington, D. c., June 15.-As un'
derstood here, the decision in the
Chamizal zone case means a practical
failure of the tribunal.

highheeled shoes is the plan of JUS
tice w. O. Howard of the supreme
court of New York state. In an ad
dress here last night, Justice Howard
said to an audience of women:
"The wearing of high heeled shoes
is as barbarous and torturing and as
destructive of health as the Chinese
wooden shoes. 1t is as heathenish
and outlandish as wearing rings in
the nose or tattooing the face and it
breeds an ungainly and deformed race.
Can 1 urge you to 60 out and ad-
vocate normal feet, such as God gave 7?
Have you the courage to speak out
against this silly fashion, fashion as
destructive as rum, as deadly as
opium, or are you to be counted among
the devotees?"
