Shifting River Banks Take
 Two States Into Court

JACKSON, Miss, May 15.-Louisi- ana and Mississippi have taken to the United States supreme court their dispute over possession of ap- proximately 5000 acres of land lying in the Mississippi River.
 The case grew out of the alleged sale by Mississippi of the contested land, which Louisiana claims lies west of the correct boundary between the two states and belongs to her.
 The history of the case involves natures work in changing the river channel. Louisiana's claim, filed by her attorney-general, sets forth that an imperceptible caving in and dis appearance of land on the Mississ- ippi side of the river was accompa- nied by a likewise imperceptible ex- tension of land on the Louisiana side.
 When the accretion of land on the Louisiana side had extended about five miles, Louisiana's claim continues, the river in 1912-13 sud- denly abandoned it's old channel and cut new one through the addition.
 Louisiana claims the boundary line between the two states twas in and remained in the middle of the old channel, which was and is east of the new channel made by the avul- sion." The claimant further asserts that when formation of silt filled the old channel "the boundary line then became fixed in the middle of the old navigable stream"
 Mississippi, Louisiana claims, has assumed the boundary to be the same as in 1923 and has sold and is- sued patents for lands west of the line which Louisiana claims is the boundary in fact.
 Such assumption, Louisiana asserts, is without foundation or fact or law, and the selling of the land by Miss issippi is null and void and is an at tempt to appropriate territory be- longing to the state of Louisiana"
