Pausing here for scarcely more
than an hour, on his way from Pitts

formation bearing on his charge that
republicans were raising $15,o00,0o0

Just before his train pulled out, he

Asked If he would press his

Referring to an announcement
from VIII Fl. Hays. chairman of tho
republican national committee, that
individual caapaign contributions
would be restricted to $1,000, Mr.. Cox
said:
"Mr. Hays knows that such a
statement isn't true. The methods
used by the republicans is to get

Texas Oklahoma Suit Promises 1
Be Great Legal StruggIeA

Texas Oklahoma Suit Promises to
Be Great Legal StruggIeA
By Associated Press.
Austin, Tex, Aug, 27,-one Of the
greatest legal struggles the United
States has ever known will develop
from the Texas Oklahoma boundary
suit now pending in the United
States Supreme Court, according to
C. w. Taylor, Texas assistant at
torney general. The United States,
Oklahoma and Texas claim jurisdic-
ton over the lands involved.
None Of the factions in the three
cornered fight Is advancing claims
for definite, bodies Of land this early
in the struggle. In a general way
Oklahoma claims that the south
bank Of the Red river as it flowed
in 1919, when the treaty be-
tween Spain and the United
States fixed the boundary between
their respective holdings is the line.
The United States supports the Ok
lahoma contention where Indian
lands are involved and claims juris-
diction over these lands. Texas con-
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1920-08-27
tends that the center of the present
1i1rnf, had ir 1 In ll.,,.

tends that the center of the present
river bed Is the boundary.
These conflicting claims leave the
title to the strip of land along the
meandering of the river for at least
five hundred miles in doubt Only
the length Of the strip is, definitely
set out in the claims. It's width var
les from a few feet to several miles.
Texas will first contend for the
middle of the river as the boundary.
Mr.. Taylor saids and if it loses this
fight. will claim the ordinary high
water mark OF tho present river az
the south bank. Every foot OF the
land south OF the high water mark
on this side. Of the river will be con-
tested. II Oklahomas claim that the
river has shifted no"th in places
since the treaty was signed is al
lowed, he continued, Texas will ask
that Oklahoma be required to prove
every shirt Of the river which allows
encroachment upon soil now held by
Texas
In rehuttal. he added. 1t is possible
that Texas will attempt to prove that
the river bed has shifted south in
places, and thus placed Texas land
on the Oklahoma side. Oklahoma has
designated only one or two points
where II Is alleged the fivee has
shifted north,
II the south bank OF the river in
1919 is fixed as the boundary. Mr..
Taylor said, the question OF fixing
the old bank OF the stream will in
crease the magnitude Of the suit.
which will then resolve itself into n
series Of tangles with masses OF evil
dence to support claims and counter
claims at numerous points along the
river.
The boundary between the two
states has been disputed practically
ever since the land was worth claim
ing. While Oklahoma was territory
the United States entered suit and
recovered Greer county from Texas
on the grounds that the south branch
OF the river. instead of the north
branch was the boundary and that
all the land In the forks of the river
belonged to Oklahoma. But the dis
pute between the two states was
held to local proportion until the dis
covery of oil on the Texas side In
Wichita county Then In November,
1919. Oklahoma claimed lands be-
tween the bluff and the edge of the
river on the Texas side under the al
legation that the river had shifted
from the bluffs northward since the
treaty was signed, and from this
suit g-ew the one involving the
whole boundary.
Practically all the land involved is
held under the titles issued by either
Texas or Oklahoma. II jurisdiction
over lands is changed. these titles
will become void, 1t is said, and the
property subject to resale by the
state acquiring 1t, unless provisions
are made to the contrary In the
settlement OF the suit.
The first heafing OF this case be-
fore the supreme court is set for
Nov. is, when the question OF wheth-
er the decision in the Greer ccFInts
case shall apply In this suit viii, be
submitted.

l.
Marion, Aug. 27.-Senator Harding
issued the following statement today
on the death OF James Wilson, for
mer secretary of agriculture.
'It was a great shock to learn OF
the death OF former Secretary James
Wilson. He WAS one of the pioneers
in modernizing and improving agri-
culture. He served in Ithe cabinet
longer than any other man in the
national history.
1.-TWO men have won and deserve
the credit for planning. organizing
and launching departments of our
government. One was Alexander
Hamilton, who created the treasury
establishment on thd lines that have
been followed ever since. The other
was James Wilson, who tho not the
first secretary Of agriculture, WAS the
man who placed that department on
the map and made 1t a model that
almost every progressive government
in the world has copied.
''His death takes one Of the great
Americans, to whom the nation owes
a debt of gratitude and high re-
ga-ds"
