Conference May Break.

Genoa, May 1.-The noa con-
ference may break up Immediately
after Wednesdays plenary session,
unless the Russians indicate some
quick solution of their problem Is
possible.
The political subicommission met
today to attempt to complete It's
proposals regarding Russia, but with
no indication that the soviet dele
CATION was disposed to accept the
allied note, the question of advisa'
bility of continuing the conference
beyond Wednesday arose.
The allies today had succeeded In
agreeing among themselves on but
one point-the amount Of financial
aid to be offered Russia and the
conditions. The conditions are mild
and acceptable to the bolsheviki but
the sum agreed upon, 2O,OOO,OOo
pounds, is described by Tchitcherin
as utterly inadequate"
The chief point Of dispute among
the allies is restitution Of foreign
owned, private property by the so
Wet. British have proposed restitu-
tion of control by former owners
without actual ownership, which the
soviet government maintains 1t can
not restore.

have held out for complete restitu

the supreme court today held that
the federal government is the sole

valuable oil deposits have been dis

All titles granted to portions of
the river bed by Oklahoma and Tex
as were knocked out by the decision.
Claims obtained by companies and
individuals under the Placer act also
were held invalid.
The only titles held legal by the
court are those in the hands of a
few Indian allottees, who lived in a
portion Of Oklahoma that used to
be a reservation. and the claims OF
these Indians, the court held, are
valid, where they extend only to
the center OF the river bed.

cision of the supreme court that
Oklahoma owns only to the
center of the Red river bed is
blow to the state in the $2OO,OOO,OOO
controversy with Texas over the
rights to the river bed oil leases,
state officials said today.
The case has been before the su-

nut in that courts hands when Tex
as rangers and Oklahoma almost
reached a state Of open warfare ov-
er contests for rights of develop
ment.
The Oklahoma school land fund Is

Washington, May 1.-Oklahoma
owns only to the middle Of the Red
river, throughout the 539 miles of
the rivers course between that state
and Texas, the supreme court held
today. Along the river banks are
mnay valuable oil wells, which have
been claimed by both states.
The decision is defeat for Okla
hoEia in its claim to the entire own
ership of the river and also blow
to Texas, the court holding that
Texas has no riparian rights in the
river whatever.
The court declared Illegal titles
granted by Texas to valuable oil
lands and mineral properties lying
in the Red river bed
It was held that Oklahoma-granted
titles were also invalid where they
extended beyond the center Of the
stream.
Millions Are Affected.
Oil companies and private individ-
uals holding placer claim titles to
property in the river, which were
delivered illegally, were given 2o
days by the court to withdraw their
claims and conform to the decision.
The substance of the decision was
that the state of Oklahoma has
Jurisdiction over the north half or
the river, and that part of the stream
on the Texas side is the property
of the United States, by terms OF
the 1919 treaty under which Texas
became a part of the United States
Another important point in the
decision was that the Red river Is
not, navigable stream, using the
term as applied to commerce.
Millions of dollars in oil invest
ments are affected by the decision
Some of the companies whose claims
are involved are:
The Silver Moon Oil company;
Grand Oil and Development com
pany: The Melish Consolidated Pla
Ger Oil Mining association; Burke
Divide Oil company; Pacific Wyom
ing Oil company; Burkburnett Pla
Ger Mining and Oil company, ane
the Double Triangle Petroleum De
yelopment company. A number o
nriyate individuals who staked ou
oil claims, and numerous Indian al
lotees are also affected by the de
