Evolved.
All Lines Are Busy
Telegraph and telephone lines
swere busy throughout Europe with

Ethiopia's note arrived last night

surgently on to council members.
1t consented to Italy's demand
that efforts to fix responsibility for

1T rejected Italy's demand that In
negotiations the question as to

= Concern which at first was felt
sonly among the great powers has
Spread throughout southeastern
Europe. The small nations there,
~who will be in any great war, were
interestingly fearful that the Ital-
sian Ethiopian dispute might de-
sstroy the league as peace agency.
40 them the league is not an in
@strument of diplomatic exchange

sformation-a league to neforce

STATIONS more powerful.
League Facing Crisis
= They fear that if the League of

sby "legalizing" a war in Ethiopia
ito please Italy, the destruction will
~be completed which was threat
sened when the league failed to
keep Japan from Selling Chinese

Finally, there is the position of
~Nazi Germany. United Press dis
patches from Berlin report that
German political quarters believe
.any effort to solve the Italian
ethiopian dispute will be futile,
land that the leagues disintegra-
stion in imminent. Germany feels,
sthe dispatches said, that her own
position will be strengthened If
the league fails. There is no effort
ito conceal satisfaction at the
sleagues dilemma. 1t has never
been a protector to Germans but
ean oppressor, being the enforcing
sagent of the Versailles treaty.

the Smoot Sand and Gravel Corp.
VS.. Washington Airport. In these
cases the court held that high-water
mark on the Virginia shore was the
boundary.
"It is the opinion Of this commits
sion, the report said in this connec-
ton, "and it desires to emphasize the
fact, that In none Of the three cases
referred to herein was the Common
wealth of Virginia party and in o
position to raise the question Of the
location Of the boundary line between
Virginia and the District Of Columbia,
and for that reason the commission Is
Of the opinion that, so far as this COM
mission Is concerned in carrying out
the mandates of the act creating 1t,
these cases carry no binding judicial
determination of the boundary line
between the District and Virginia"
Taxed by Virginia.
The commission regarded it as "im-
portant" that the property in question
has been taxed by Virginia "for many,
many years" Furthermore, the re-
port pointed out, Federal income taxes
Of persons and corporations in this
territory have been paid through the
internal revenue oflce at Richmond,
Va.
THE testimony further shows" the
commission said, that license taxes
have been issued by and paid to the
Commonwealth Of Virginia and, IN
fact, every form Of tax, including the
gasoline tax, has consistently been paid
to the authorities Of the Common
wealth Of Virginia, and that all Of the
property involved in these proceedings
has been policed by the authorities OF
the Commonwealth Of Virginia or It's
political subdivisions, and that at no
time has the United States Govern
ment ever attempted to exercise its
authority. either tax or police. in the
territory in dispute"
The commission called attention to
improvements made on part Of t1e
land by airport interests and by the
Southern Oxygen Co., and the Ameri-
can Oil Co., and said the Federal Gov
ernment has not interfered with these
improvements. Moreover, the Federal
Government has purchased pieces Of
property In the territory from private
owners and recorded the deeds in Vir-
ginia. Several such transactions were
recited.
Never Policed by d. c.
There is practically no evidence
that the District of Columbia has ever
policed, or attempted to police, the
said territory" the report said. "It
is true that over period Of many
years there were few sporadic arrests
made for illegal fishing near what Is
known as the Chain Bridge in the
deep water Of the Potomac. There Is
no evidence that the District has ever
attempted to tax the property in ques-
ton since the retrocession act Of 1346."
The commission declared, therefore,
Its opinion that "by continued occu-
patton, possession and the exercise Of
ownership, from its earliest history to
the present time, Virginia has ac-
quired and exercised full and complete
sovereignty and Jurisdiction over the
territory involved in these proceed
ings."
Included, with the approval Of the
commission, was q stipulative agree
ment entered into by the United States
and the City Of Alexandria during
the hearings, whereby Alexandria &C.

for the League for Economic Equality,
which was called q Corn Belt farmers
group, asked the court to use the
same measuring rod In deciding the
constitutionality Of the A. A. A.
Others IN the pile Of briefs that
have been filed said that the principle
back Of the A. A. A. law was that
surplus control programs should not
unbahnce the Treasury.
The American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton brief said processing taxes on
cotton caused the following increases
in costs to consumer: Wonsn's house
dress, "a cents; chamhray shirt, 3
cents; cornbed yarn. women's hose,
g cents; overalls, as cents; dozen
napkins, 3.s cents: carded yarn mems
socks. a cents; tablecloth, 5.3 cents;
Q bed sheet, TT cents, and q yard Of
bleached muslin. Ia cents.
Increases Held Small.
The farmers said the met increase
IN consumers total retail expenditures
attributable to processing tax collec-
tions in 1894 probably amounts to
less tnan per cent.
However, these taxes on wheat,
corn, cotton and other basic commodi-
ties had yielded nearly q billion doll
lars, 1898, ,s25,150 up to October / Of
this year.
Most Of this was paid to farmers
who signed A. A. A. production con-
troll agreements. One Of the many
reasons for the Governments legal
battle Is this administration has agreed
to pay out $1,376,0l7,274 under farm
control plans.
The processing taxes are the chief
source for meeting these promised
payments.
The federation brief said Congress
found "in order to avoid an unbal-
anced budget, it was for the general
welfare that the costs Of carrying out
such measures should be financed
through special levies."

quired certain wharfage rights On its
water front.
The report concluded as follows:
AFTER hearing all Of the evidence
and having made q careful and COM
pIete study Of all Of the exhibits, and
after having been guided by all the
principles Of law and fact submitted
to 1, both by the United States Gov
ernmens and the Commonwealth Of
Virgins, this commission is of the
opinion that the fair and proper
boundary Is the low-water mark or
the Virginia shore, running from
headland to headland across creeks
and inlets.
"whas was the high-water mark oi
1871 Is q matter Of conjecture. The
United States Government has at.
temptet. to describe and locate thi;
line. The same condition Is true Q,
far as the low-water mark Of 1871 u
concerned.
"It Is the opinion Of the commits
sion, therefore, that inasmuch as this
line cannot be definitely established
the only equitable way in which q
fair line can be arrived at Is BY
locating the low-water mark as oi
today, and this commission respect
fully recommends as and for the
boundary line existing and to exist
between the District Of Columbia and
Virginia, the low-water mark on the
Virginia shore, running from head.
land to headland across creeks and
inlets.
Airport Plans Mentioned.
However, it was developed by the
United States Government during the
hearings held by this commission, tina,
the United States Government has Q

Of an airport in the Potomac River

in the execution Of this program au.
tholities Of the United States Govern
ment have indicated that it Is es-
sential and highly necessary that q
part Of the territory included in the
said Reaches Run be utilized.
1.-THE Commonwealth of Virginia,
when advised Of said program, ac-
quiesced in the same. AS matter
Of practicability and with the idea
in view Of assisting the United State.
Government in its desire to carry out
the aforesaid program, the Commis.
sioners respectfully recommend thai

Long Controlled by Virginia.
"The boundary line as recommended
herein as the present low-water mark
on the Virginia shore. running from
headland to headland across creeks
and inlets. with the exceptions de-
tailed above, is based upon the fact
that by every act and function oi
government, by continued occupation
and possession and the exercise oi
ownership, from its earliest history tc
the present time, the Commonwealth
of Virginia has exercised and &C.
quired full and complete sovereignty
and Jurisdiction over the territory in
