The Turkish delegates to the peace

given promptly.
Diplomats expect that Turkey Will
eencede something to the allies with
the purpose Of inducing the powers to
make efforts TO bring the peace dele
gates together for further negotla-
tiOns. Should this be the case, the
allies will have an opportunity TO
show whether their ultimatun to re-

NEW MEXICO WILL
SUE TEXAS FOR
DISPUTED LAND
Boundary Controversy to be
Made Basis of Action for Re-
covey of 14,300 Acres of
Land Walked at 50, 900, 900

Estate Capital Bureau Of Morning Jaurnal. !
santa fe, Jan. Z. -- The Texas
New Mexico boundary which has
been the bone of legal contention for
nearly quarters of century,
will figure largely in a suit TO be filed
In the supreme court OF the United
States at an early date and which in
wolves about $4,000, 900. The action
is one brought by the state Of New
Mexico against the state of Texas for
possession of some t4,3U0 acres of
fertile land in the Rio Gfande valley.
II Is based upon the allegation that
the Rio Grande now runs and has
so run for some time past, at a point
far west of the point where It ran in
1850. at which time the dispute be-
tween the two states was apparently
finally adjudicated
The action is now being prepared
by Attorney General Frank w. Clancy
and will lie forwarded to Washington
when IL is ready. II will be a volum-
nous document. the exhibits alone
occupying many pages The brief is
now in the hands of the printer
The claim is made that beginning
at what is now the south line Of the
eastern half Of New Mexico. and con-
tnuIng south along the Rio Grande
to the south line Of the western half
Of the state, the stream has so
changed its course since 1850, when
line up its center was decreed to be
the boundary between the two states.
that now about twelve square miles Of
land which was included in New
Mexico is claimed by Texas. It is
now on the east or Texas side Of the
river. but it Is west Of the eastern
boundary line claimed by New Mex
leo.
A map filed as an exhibit demon
strated the contention very plainly.
This map shows the course OF the
river at present, when 1t is in many
places far over toward the sandhills
on the west bank Of the valley and
also the course It had in 1885, when
It was about as close to the hills on
the east bank. Its vagaries have
thus thrown many acres Of very val
liable land into litigation
Exhibit of the complaint is the
act OF congress fixing the boundary
line up the center Of the river
Exhibit B is is the proclamation Of
the president placing this act IN force,
as provided BY certain clauses Of it,.
The proclamation was signed by Pres
ident Mllard Fillmore on Dec. H..
1850 II cites an act of the general
assembly Of Texas accepting the
propositions 1t makes and the boun-
daries IT settles
The map is Exhibit G.
Exhibit d Is a copy ot part of the
constitution of New Mexico relating
to the boundaries of the state.
Exhibit f is an act Of congress
constituting clause Of the enabling
act under which New Mexico was adj
mitted relating TO boundaries TO
mean that the lines run by John NJ.
Clark. a boundary commissioner, ana
ratified BY act Of congress March 3,
1891, were not 10 be changed bui
were 10 remain as the limits beween
the states.
The map shows 14.3d0 acres in
dispute. beginning at the C0urchesne
bridge. north Of FL Paso. and extend
ing nOrthward to the New Mexico
line.
The disputed strip varies In width
from nothing TO more than mile.
