Treaty Of 1919 With Spain Is Basis Of

In Hands Of Receiver Dur
ing Suit.

Washington. boundary be-
tween Oklahoma and Texas follows
the south bank of the Red River, the
supreme court held in deciding the
dispute between the two states.
The treaty of 1919 between the
United States and Spain made the
southern bank the boundary, the court
said, citing negotiations between
Secretary of State Adams and the
Spanish envoy at the time when Tex
as was part of Mexico. BY every
consideration" the court added, the
definitions of boundary was just and
legal.
Oil lands in the Red river valley
valued at about $500,00O,00O, were in
volved in the suit The lands have
been in the hands of receiver ap-
pointed by the supreme court year
ago on motion of the government,
which intervened in the dispute be-
tween the states.
Under the injunctions issued by the
court at the request of the govern
ment, the state of Texas was prohibit
ed from issuing permits affecting the
contested lands, while both states
were prohibited from removing oil or
gas we'll machinery located in the ter
ritory.
The court announced that formal
decree would be issued within the
next few days carrying out its judg-
ment. The Red river case grew out
of suit brought by the state of Ok
lahoma, which claimed the title to
valuable oil deposits lying in the shall
low waters of the river. Had the
center of the river been held to be
the state line as Texas claimed, the
OIL wells in operation would have been
thrown into Texas.
Oklahomas counsel produced in
court lengthy excerpts from the nego-
tiations between the United States
and Spain in 1919 to show that this
very point was brought up at that
time. Secretary Adams, according to
his memoirs set forth that he had in
sisted that the south bank" Of the
Red river must be accepted as the
limit of the Jurisdiction Of the United
States.
Pending determination of the suit,
the supreme court appointed Frederic
A Delano receiver Of the proceeds
from the oil wells in operation and
authorized him to pay a portion of the
income to the owners.

ments between the individual rail
roads and the four big brotherhoods.
Sixteen Principles Announced.
In connection with the conference

set of sixteen principles which are to
serve as a foundation for any rules
which may be agreed to in the con-
terence. The present general rules

has been in progress since January 10,
will continue until both sides have
completed their testimony, following
which the board will promulgate

of employees to negotiate through rep

TWO ADMINISTRATORS ARE
APPOINTED
viii Be Given One Year to Dispose
Of Stocks at a Salary Of
$4,000 Each.

Washington.--A new plan under
which Swift & Co., and Armour & Co.
are to diYest themselves of their in
terests in stockyards and stockyard
terminal railroads was agreed to by
the department of justice and immedi-
ately approved by Justice Stafford of
the District of Columbia supreme
court.
Under the plan, the companies must
deliver their stock in the yards and
terminals to the Illinois Trust & Saw
ings Bank at Chicago, within thirty
days for administration by two trus-
tees, Henry w. Anderson, of Rich
mond, Va, and George Sutherland, of
Salt Lake City, Utah, until sold, which
must be within a year.
The trustees are to receive salaries
of $4,000 year each and will have
power to interfere in the management
of any stockyard or railroad, if in the
opinion of both either the Sherman
act or the terms of the decree are
being violated.
The plan sets forth that the de-
PENDANTS are to proceed to sell their
stock with due diligence, with reports
of all sales submitted to the court for
its approval. These reports must
contain the price and the name of the
proposed purchasers and must be ac-
companied BY afidavits that the pro.
posed purchasers are in no way con.
nected with the defendants.
In the event that any of the stock
remains unsold at the end of the year,
the defendants may obtain as extern
sion of time upon showing made to
the court of diligence in their efforts
to dispose of the stock at a fair and
reasonable price.

dent Obregon has been firmly estab-
lished in all parts of the republic,
and there are no threatening infiu-
ences at work, declared E. Plutarcoy
Gales, secretary of the interior, last
night. He reiterated that concessions
made some time ago regarding condi-
tions in Mexico are more satisfactory
than they have been for several years.
They followed a recent interview by
AdolfO de la Huerta, secretary of the
treasury, who declared it was his per
sonal belief that all members of the
cabinet should keep out of politics
and place themselves completely in
accord with the presidents policies.
There have been Iumors that these
two members of the government were
estranged from President Obregon
and their statements in praise of his
administration aroused considerable
interest in this city.
Extensive land concessions granted
Josey Limantour secretary of the
treasury during the administration of
Poririo Diaz, have been nullifed and
plans have been completed for their
return to the government, It was Of
acially announced. These concessions
include vast tracts In various parts

have an institution which would not

detectives would be sent. They would
there be studied by the most COM

would be made TO fit each of these de-
fectives for a useful life In society.
Some OF them. of course, would never
graduate from the school. and most
of them presumably would not be al
lowed to propagate, but each Of them
would be given as large a show In
the normal life OF the world as he was
capable OF bearing.
To this institution would be sent, not
only the detectives caught in the net

/ legally killed or else turned loose to
do their worst. but also children identi-
fed as detectives In the schools. This
