PARTIAL RULING
IS MADE IN RED
RIVER DISPUTE
Questions Disposed of Are
Those Relating to Title to
the Land in the Bed of
the Stream.

Washington, May IA partial
decision was rendered today by
the supreme court in the Red
River boundary dispute between
Oklahoma ana Texas in which
the United States interviewed. The
questions disposed of in the opin-
ion rendered by Justice Nande-
vanter were those relating to title
to the land in the bed of the riveE,
valuable because of oil and gas
discoveries in the Big Bend coun-
try. In many instances the re-
naming conflict of title cannot
he disposed of until the court To-
Gates what is the south bank of
the river which it has decided is
the northern boundary of Texas.
With the question open as to
whether the south bank of the
river is at the foot OF the bluff
on the Texas side or is the south
bank of the river at normal stages,
often a mile or more distant from
the bluffs, or whether some in
termediate line between the river
at normal stage and the bluffs Is
designated by the court, the
rights of the conflicting litigant1
were in a large measure quoted
today.
Outstanding points in the opin-
ion We're:
The entire bed of the river is
within Oklahoma and Texas and
its grantees and licensees have not
proprietary interest in the bed. It
may develop that the receiver in
whose custody the court has
placed the oil properties in dis
puto is now holding some land
south of the line which will be
established as the permanent
boundary and il so Texas and
its grantees and licensees will be
free to claim it.
Oklahoma's claim to the lands
in the bed of the riYer were de-
MED or the ground that the river
where it forms boundary with
Texas is not navigable.
while the evidence relating to
the part of the river in the east
ern half Of the state is not SO
against navigability as
that relating to the western Sec
tion," the court stated, 1--WE think
it establishes that it is neither
used nor susceptible of being used
in its natural and ordinary condi-
tion as highway for commerce.

District Attorney f. B. Garcia
emphatically denied last night that
he had been consulted regarding
the issuance or cashing of a county
warrant for the $1,000 appropria-
tion.
Treasurer Ed Swope did not
ask me as to whether the warrant
would have to be paid" the dis.
trict attorney stated last night.
He asked me if the acts of two
commissioners were valid when
made in special or regular
session, anc I replied that they
We're valid. I did not know he was
even referring to the st. Anth ony
appropriation. The first knew OF
the appropriation was when T read
OF it in the Morning Journal and
| have not given an opinion as to
the legality Of the act nor regard
ing the necessity for the county
treasurer to cash the warrant"
In speaking unofficially Of the
transaction, the district attorney
intimated that It was a question in
his mind as to whether the county
commissioners had the authority
to make such an appropriation. IT
is probable that Mr.. Garcia will
attend the meeting of the commits
sion Wednesday morning when the
matter is brought up again and
when it is expected that the st.
Anthony Orphanage bills amount
ing to $1,000 will be presented in
order to secure the appropriation

For number of years the bu-

New Orleans, La, May 1.-Relief
organizations continued work to-
day among the thousands of home
less in the stricken flood zones of
Louisiana and Mississippi Par
ticular efforts were directed to
the area in central eastern Louisi-
ana where a lake of more than
1,4O0 square miles now stands on
fertile farm lands and CONNER
cial towns as a result of the break
ing of the levee of the Mississippi
river near Ferriday.
Harrisonburg, La, far west of
the river, but in the flood zone,
continues to present the most serious
problem. Food is the need of the
residents and several thousand
refugees there. Stocks of local
merchants have become exhausted
Boat Brings Food.
Today it was reported that some
food has been brought in by boat
from neighboring communities
which it is hoped will last until a
boat with food which left New Or
leans last Saturday arrives. In
addition to those in need at that
town it was reported that boats
laden with 1000 refugees are en-
route.
There is also a serious shortage
of shelter at Harrisonburg. Only
fifty tents are available and many
are sleeping on the ground in the
open. There is also Il lack of med
ical supplies.
In southern Louisiana, where
the river is continuing to spread,
refugees are being brought to the
outskirts of New Orleans. where
better shelter, medical attention
and food can be given them. Re-
lief camps established in the flood
zone have in many instances been
abandoned as the result of the
spreading Of the waters.
In the central western MISSISSIPPI
pi, renewed efforts were made to-
day to rescue the marooned in the
fazoo basin, where q stretch of
land covering 1,700 squares miles
is under water. Relief bodies are
bcing taxed to capacity to provide
for the refugees who continue to
pour in at the isolated high spots
and larger towns. Shelter, cloth
ing and medical supplies must be
furnished for 1850 in that devas-
tated area, it is estimated.
Crest Is Still to Come.
With the crest still to come in
the lower and central reaches of
the river, scores of towns and viii
lagos in Arkansas, Mississippi and
Louisiana are covered with water
to a depth in some instances of
twenty feet, while many larger
communities have encircled them
selves in hastily constructed en-
bankments which they hope will
hold out the water.

for the Genoa conference. The
ub-commission on Russian affairs
rushed its consideration of the
Russian reconstruction plans and
came through late tonight with ap-
proval Of the draft Of the propo-
sails. These will be considered
again tomorrow for the purpose
of final editing and will probably
be sent to the Russian delegation.
Belgium Holds Out.
Belgium alone held out on the
section relating to the treatment
to be given to the property of for
eigners nationaliZed by the soviet
government. This is a vital point
in the proposals and has been stub
bornly contested. France finally
subscribed to the project proposed
by Great Britain, whereby the use
of the property will be restored
wherever possible and in other cas-
es compensation will be arranged
through mixed arbitral tribunals.
Belgium stood firmly for the
principle of restitution and went
on record as protesting, declaring
that the vested interests of Bel
gians in property in Russia
amount to I100,000,000 and that
Belgians will never again invest in
Russia, unless restitution is made.
Treatment of Foreigners.
In the discussion relating TO the
treatment of foreigners, the ad-
ministration of justice and the
general liberty OF foreigners to
travel and engage in enterprises
in Russia, it was decided to
abandon those sections of the Lon
don experts report which referred
to certain measures whereby the
immediate restoration of Russia
would be facilitated. Among the
provisions of this report thus
given up was that requiring the
consul of foreign country to
ratify the decision in criminal
case affecting the citizen of the
consurs country before such de-
cision could be carried out. The
delegates agreed today that such
a measure would be a distinct
violation of Russia's sovereignty.
it was agreed that the
suggestion to insist upon excep-
tional treatment and protection for
foreign workmen in Russia and
Russian workmen employed by
foreign companies would be un-
just in its operation and harm 'ul

LADY AST0R IS
AN ADVOCATE Of
TRADE UN|0N|SN|
Should Apply Common
Sense to the Ailments OF
Capital and Labor, Wis
countess Says in Address

Philadelphia, Pa, May (by the
Associated Press. 1.-The application
of common sense, common human"
ity and Christianity to the ailments
of capital and labor were pre-
Iscribed by Lady Astor, M. p, in an
address today before a large audi
ence in the Academy of Music.
Speaking under the auspices of the
National Womens Trade Union
league, she announced herself

She declared that it was the duty OF
women, now that they have the
vote. to see that women who earn
their own living work under the
best possible conditions, 1.-The kind
of conditions under which mothers
would like to see their daughters
work"
Appearing on the same stage with
Lady Astor was her husband, Vis-
count Astor, who made briefer
talk and much along the same
lines. Both were received with
great enthusiasm.
Lady Astor was introduced by
Mrs, Raymond Robins, Of Chicago,
president of the organization under
whose auspices she spoke.

"There is new spirit in the
world" declared Lady Astor, "and
that is the spirit that wants peace

1t is just as necessary to defend your
country in time of peace as it is

"There must be more Christianity
in industry" she said in denouncing
the practices of socialism but up
holding its theory as ideal. "Soci-
alism cannot force us on" she de-
clared. "but Christianity can help
us on"

BRITISH BUDGET
IS LAID BEFORE
HOUSE BY HORNE
Estimates for 910,775,000
Pounds Revenue and
0,069,000 Expendi-
lures for Year 1928.

London, May (by the Associ-
ated Press) sir Robert Stevenson
Horne, chanceror of the eXchequer
introduced in the house of COM
mons today the budget for the fis-
cal year 1929, embodying esti-
mates for 910,775,000 pounds rev.
enue and 910,069,000 pounds ex-
penditures. The expenditures in
clude 2S,OOO.O00 pounds for con-
tingencies.
This much discussed budget con-
tanned only one surprise.
Reductions in taxation for which
there has been strong agitation,
came as expected. One shilling in
the pound is taken off the income
tax, four pence off the duty on tea,
which reduces the duty from one
shilling to eight pence on the
pound and a corresponding reduc-
ton of one-third off the duties on
coffee, cocoa and Chicory. The
reduction in the income tax is a
concession to the upper and mid
die strata of the community, while
the other reductions are particu-
larly for the large section of the
population whose incomes are be-
low the income tax paying level
Referring to the agitation, the
chancellor said that his mind had
not been made up in the past few
days. because for a long time it
had been decided which direction
the reductions should take. The
important surprise which the
chancellor gave the house was the
announcement of temporary
change of policy regarding the pay
merit of debts.
After showing that the external
debt now standing at nearly H.
600, 100000 pounds had been re-
duced by 274,000,000 pounds since
March, 1919, he gave it as his opin-
ion that the turning point had
come and the taxpayer should not
be asked to redeem any debt this
year. ExxplaininG this policy, he
continued:
"It involves, firstly suspension of
the sinking fund and secondly that
we should meet our obligations to-
ward the holders of securities by
reborrowing for the purpose But
this will not add to the general
burden of debt"
The chancellor explained that
the external cept consists almost
entirely of debts to the United
States and Canada and certain al
lies who owe Great Britain much
more than she owes them. the
debt to the United states was
equivalent to 1901, $4,000 pounds
two years ago. when the exchange
was $50, but he pointed out it was
now reduced to 946,S20.000 pounds
with the exchange at 4.4O, and
when the exchange was restored
to par, as he hoped, the debt
would be S56,030.000 pounds.
Incidentally, Sir Robert re-
marked:
1--WE are saddled in the present
wear with Il new burden in the
shape of interest we have to pay
on our debt to the United States.
That we shall meet without ques-
ton"
The house cheered this state
ment. He also called attention to
the fact that the budget had not
taken notice of any possible pay
ments from Germany, because the
government would regard those as
windfallS.

Sideration by the u, s.,
WOMEN ARE TOLD BY
SECRETARY OF STATE
America Is Anxious to Ex-
tend Credit, But viii Not
Attempt 1t Where There
Is No Sound Basis,
(By The Associated Press }

Washington, May 1.-The Amer
lean government stands mistaken
in its determination that Russia
must put her house in order be-
fore she can expect political rec
ognition by the United States.
Making his first statement OF
policy regarding Russian affairs
since the subject came to the ~foro
of Genoa, Secretary Hughes today
told a delegauon or women at the
state department that before any
outside power could resume full
relations with Russia she must
herself adopt policy of sound in
ternal reconstruction. He added
that the American people were
anxious to do all they could, bu;
would not attempt to extend credit
where there was no sound basis
for it.
No particular form of govern
ment was cited as desirable or un-
desirable by the secretary, nor did
he mention any of the develop
mepts which have influenced the
fortunes of the soviet since the
Genoa conference began. He did
suggest, however, that the princi-
pie of government in Russia
was somewhat complicated" by
the efforts of some soviet officials
TO interfere in the domestic affairs
of other nations.
Brought Petition.
The delegation to which the Sec
f,Vs 4 l. dc
ment represented the International
League for Peace and Freedom
and had brought to the state de-
partment a petition for full politi-
cal recognition of the soviet
regime.
Secretary Hughes reply fol-
lows:
1T is a great pleasure to meet
YOU and to hear you and | appre-
ciate deeply the interest that you
manifest in this important prob
lem. 1t is hardly necessary TO re-
fer to the concern that Ne. all feel
with respect to the welfare of the
people of Russia. Our interest in
the people of Russia has been
manifested in the most unmistak-
able manner, and | do not think
that it requires any statement at
this time to indicate how anxious
we are for the full restoration Of
the economic power of the Russian
people and for their we'll being in
every way.
There is no disposition to inter-
fere with the Russian people in
working out their own destiny.
There is no desire to interfere in
their internal affairs. The prin-
ciple that is involved is one that
we cherish here. Its application
has been somewhat complicated by
the organized efforts on the part
