ARBITRATION
COURT OEGIDES
DECIDE OWNERSHIP OF $7,000,000
WORTH OF PROPERTY.
IN SOUTHERN PORTION EL PASO
Chamlzal Case In Contention a Dozen
Years Between United States and
Mexico Ends Gradual Change of
River Makes Decision Difficult.
El Paso , Tex. , June 1C.The Inter
national arbitration court which has
boon sitting In the so-called Chamizal
case in El Paso to decide the owner
ship of seven million dollars worth of
property In the southern portion of El
Paso , today rendered its decision ,
which Is a compromise. The decision
gives Mexico part of the land in ques
tion and the United States part of It.
Hoth the United States and Mexico
dissent.
The Chamlzal case has been in con
tention between the two governments
for a dozen years. It was really
brought to the fore when W. J. War
der of California filed suit In federal
court here to oust persons holding
title to the land under the Texas laws ,
Warder alleging that he held title
from Mexico under the Chamlzal
grant.
He raised the point that the land
had been thrown into the United
States by a sudden change of the
river and that it therefore belonged
to Mexico. The treaty of the United
States and Mexico provides that were
the river to make a sudden change the
land would bo thrown from one coun
try to the other , the property of the
country to which it formerly belonged ,
but if the change is gradual by erosion
sion , the territory belongs to the coun
try in which it is thrown. The United
States has contended that the change
in the river has been gradual but Mexico
ice cites numerous full grown trees
between the former river channel and
the present river , on American soil as
proof that the change had not been
gradual , else these trees would have
been washed away.
The two governments being nnable
to agiee on the ownership of the land ,
a treaty was drawn and adopted by
the bonatcs of each country providing
tor arbitration. Mexico chose Senor
Baltran Y Puga and the United States
selected Brigadier General Anson
Mills.
Judge Eugene Lalleur of Montreal
Canada , was selected as the third com-
nlssioner. Taking of testimony and
learing of arguments began in El Paso
arly in April.

SENATOR
RESOLUTION ENFORCING CRIM.
INAL PROSECUTION.
THE SENATE IS APPEALED TO
Resolution Will Not Have Same Effect
as Statute , But Proposes to Declare
to Department of'Justlce That Crim
inal Proceedings Should Begin.
Washington , June 15. Criminal
prosecution of the officers of the Stan
dar Oil company and the American
Tobacco company was demanded to
day by Senator Pomerene , who ad
dressed the senate on his resolution
calling on the attorney general to
undertake such legal action.
The Ohio senator declared at the
outset that the Sherman anti-trust law-
was specific In Its authority to press
such a suit against conspirators who
restrained trade. He contended that
the lawyers' doubts of the meaning of
the statute were "In proportion to the
size of the fees they receive from their
clients" and the interpretation of the
law by the supreme court of the Unit
ed States was clear.
"Now with these plain findings of
act and conclusion by tbe supreme
court that the constitution has been
violated , " he said , "what reason can
be given by any sworn court official
for not continuing his fight against
hem in order to bring them to the
bar of justice ; what excuse can any
awmaker or any executive official
give to the people of this country for
a failure to enforce this law when they
are every day exerting themselves to
: nmish Infractions of the law against
other transgressors with less money
and less influence at their command.
A decent sense of self respect requires
he government either to enforce this
aw or to repeal it. "
Declaring that if criminal prosecu
tions had been undertaken when the
aw was first enforced there would
lave been no such concentration of
jiower as exemplified by either of the
two corporations under discussion.
Mr. Pomerene said that the ruling of
the supreme court must be followed up
quickly in the most vigorous fashion
'or the fruits or the fruits of those
victories would bo lost to the govern
ment and to the people. "
"Speaking for myself , " ho said , "I
think it is high tlmo that the Amer
ican peoylo should understood wheth
er the stars nnd stripes are to bo the-
emblem of their power and authority ,
or whether that emblem shall be the
oil barrel or the tobacco tag. "
The senator summarized the opin
ions of the supreme court in both
enbes nnd contended that they dis
closed the fact that both corporations
and their officials had been violating
the law since its passage in 1S90. Hi-
declared there was precedent for hin
resolution of instruction to the attor
ney general , inasmuch as the luttoi
had failed to undertake the criminal
litigation , although it is provided for
In the anti-trust law.
"The attorney general Is but a ere-
ature of the law , " he said. "His ofilco
was created by congress. Ho is
clothed with such powers and required
to perform such duties as congress
sees fit to demand of him. It can add
to or It can take away from those pow
ers , whenever in its judgment it Is
deemed proper. It is not proposed this
resolution shall have the snrno force
and effect as ft statute , but It Is pro
posed to declare to the department of
justice In no uncertain way that the
congress which made him and clothed
him with power Is cognizant of the
fact that the law has been violated ,
that the court has so declared ; that
for twenty-one years no respect has
been paid by any of those defendants
to the provisions of the law and that ,
In the judgment of congress , he ought
to begin these criminal proceedings
nnd prosecute nnd the resolution In
structs him so to do in order that the
majesty of the law may bo preserved. "
Senator Pomerene closed witli an
appeal to the senate for support for
the resolution.
