Supreme Court Asked to Appoint a
Receiver for Valuable oil Land
In Bed of Red River; Center
of Big Dispute.
OKLAHOMA WINS POINT
IN FEDERAL PETITION
With Reference to Location of the
Boundary Petition to Supreme
Court Sustans Contention
Made by Oklahoma.
BY United Press


Washington, March 29-The fed
eral government has asked the su-
preme court to appoint a federal re-
ceiver for the disputed oil land in
the bed of Red river, valued al more
than $20O,O0O00O.
An injunction to prevent either
Oklahoma or Texas or both from hay
ing armed forces in the disputed
lands from interfering with the re-
ceiver's control is asked
The government asks That the line
of the river as II existed on Talu-
ary %, 1921, be the line of separa-
tion between the sUltes.
The petition on the location of the
boundary sustains the contentious Of
the oklahoma brief asking that Tex
as be decreed to have no title to the
lands north OF the old boundary
This land is clnimed by both Ok
lahoma and Texas and since the
finding Of oil there a bitter fight has
been waged in several courts by the
two states in question for its pos
session. Oklahoma contends that
the southern boundary of that state
extends to the south bank of the
river. The contention of Texas is at
variance with this claim.
Officials of both sOates, as well as
oil men interested have been in
Washington for several days in the
interests Of their claims.

DOLLAR DAY BONUS
70 R 8, 900, 900
SERVICE MEN
Provided BY Bill Approved by
House Sub Committee
WILL REQUIRE A BILLION
Funds to Be Raised by General Sales
Tax of one-half OF One Per
Cent on All Business.

Washington, April 13-More than
100000 United States ex-service men
of the World War will receive bonuses
of 81 day under the terms of bill
tentatively agreed to by the Ways and
Means Committees subcommittee con-
sidering bonus legislation. To raise
the necessary money, estimated at ST.
900, 600, general sales tax of one
half of one per cent. will be imposed
upon all business men who do an an
inual business of $4,000.
The bonuses proposed in the bill
are limited to those who served more
than so days. Regular army enlist
ed men, officers and others who had
special financial advantages during
their term of service are eliminated
from the provisions Of the bill. While
approximately 4,S00,004 men were in
the American service abroad or under
the colors when the armistic was sign
ed, about 100000 viii not obtain
bonus payments because OF the limi-
taitons imposed by the bill. War De-
partment officials estimate that fully
$4,000 served less than six months.
The Regular Army enlisted men and
all officers numbered about 100000
Service men who, while under colors
worked In shipyards, in the forest SER
vice or other employment where they
received more than the army pay, will
be eliminated, as will those who re-
ceived pay from their former en-
ployers, 1t is estimated that the men
exempted from the provisions of the
bill reach about 100000
Another provision requires all those
who wish the bonus to apply and take
oath as to the conditions which make
them eligible to the bonus award. AS
many ex-service men are opposed to
the bonus and others do not need it,
the subcommittee has come to the
conclusion that the number who will
seek the 81 day bonus for the term
of their service will not exceed g.
900, ,O00. 1t is expected, however, that
an active propaganda will be begun
to have every beneficiary accept the
bonus, so that those who do not want
It may contribute it to certain welfare
and charitable organizations.
