MILLIONS IN THE OIL LANDS ARE MIXED IN ; STATE CONTROVERSY

(By Aeaoelated Presa) - AUSTIN, Tex., Aug, 27. One of the 'greatest legal struggles the United States has ever known will develop from the Texas-Oklahoma boundary . suit now pending in the United Statee Supreme Court, according to C. W. Taylor. Texas assistant attorney general. The United States,. Oklahoma and .Texas claim Jurisdiction over the lands involved. None of the factions in the three cornered fight Is advancing claims for definite bodies of land this early In the struggle. In a general way Oklahoma claims that the south bank of the Red river as It flowed In 1819 when the treaty between Spain and the United States fixed the boundary between their respective holdings is the line. The United States supports the Oklahoma contention where Indian lands : are Involved and claims Jurisdiction "(. over these lands. Texas contends that the center of the present river bed Is the boundary. These conflicting claims leave the title to a strip of land along the meandering ot. the river for at leant BOO miles in doubt. Only the length of the strip is definitely set out in the claims. Its width varies from a few feet to several miles. Texas Asks River's Middle. Texas will first contend for the middle of the river as the boundary. ' Mr. Taylor said, and if it loses this fight, will claim the ordinary high water mark of the present river as the south bank, Every foot of the land south of the high water mark of the river will be contested.

If Oklahoma's claim that the river

has shifted north in places since the treaty was signed is allowed, he con-

'tinued, Texas will ask that Oklahoma be required to prove every shift of the river which allows encroachment upon

' soil now held by Texas. In rebuttal, he added, it is possible that Texas will attempt to prove that (the river bed has shifted south in '. places, and thus placed Texas land on the Oklahoma side. Oklahoma has designated only one or two ' points where it is alleged the river has shifted north. If the south bank of the river in

1819 is fixed as the boundary, Mr. Taylor Bald, the Question of fixing the old bank of the stream will increase the magnitude of the suit,' which will then resolve itself into a series ot tangles with masses ot evidence to support claims and counter claims at numerous points along the river.

Boundary Disputed Long. The boundary between the two

states has been disputed practically ever since the land was worth claiming. While Oklahoma was a territory

the United States entered suit and recovered Greer county from Texas on

the grounds that the south branch or the river. Instead of the north branch was the boundary and that all the land in the forks of the river belonged to Oklahoma. . But the dispute between the two states was held to local proportion until the discovery of oil on the Texas side in Wichita county. Then in November, 1919, Oklahoma claimed lands between the bluff and the edge of the river on the Texas side under the allegation that the river had shifted from the bluffs northward since the treaty was signed, and from this suit grew the one involving the whole boundary. Practically all the land involved is held under the titles issued by either Texas or Oklahoma. If Jurisdiction over lands is changed, these titles will become void, it is said, and the property subject to resale by the state acquiring it, unless provisions are made to the contrary in the settlement of the suit. The first hearing of this case before the Supreme Court is set for Nov. 15, when the question of whether the decision In. the Green county case shall apply in. this suit will be submitted.

picture, "An Adventure In hearts," which will show Friday and Saturday at the Washington Theatre. One 'of his battles i particularly violent and picturesque. In bis role as Captain Dieppe, an adventurer being detained by a foreign government for whom be has just done secret and hazardous work, Warwick escapes from the council chamber in which he is confined. He leaps up in the middle of the table of state, snatches one of the official's swords and cuts off the whiskers ot

the prime minister, then he proceeds to put all the folks present out of the running, flooring the guards and diving out ot the castle window into the moat below, swimming to freedom. Major Warwick is delightful In the role of the D'Artagnan hero ot the picture, which is a Paramount-Arteraft directed by James Cruze. MURRAY Sonia Howard loved Hugh Mason, but refused to marry him because of the things In her past that were haunting her. Mason was a lawyer who had so successfully pleaded her cause when ehe was being tried for the murder of her husband that she was acquitted. What he did not know was that Sonia had the stain of murder on her soul she shot the beast that was her husband! The other shadow that hung over

her life was an insidious and dangerous one. She had in her possession papers that were wanted by the Ring of Death. These she Refused to turn over because they contained plans for a revolution in America the land of her adoption, and the land she had learned to love. Sonia Howard is the greatly wronged, strong-willed and loyal heroine ot
