Trouble Over Dismissal of Head

SUIT FOR REINSTATEMENT
Women to Have Recourse to the
Courts to Settle Their
Differences.
[From The Tribune Bureau]
Washington. April 17.— 1f any of the
Daughters of the. American Involution
came to Washington for ■ — annual conti
nental congress, ■which opens to-morrow In
Continental Hall, their national headquar
ters, with the id<'a that peace was still pos
sible l^twe^n Its xvarrins factions, they !
have now al>andoned it. Having; found it '
impossible to settle their nun difficulties, ;
the Daughters are now poir.p Into court. '
Lawynt are being rnpaged on both sides.
and as soon as the continental congress ad-
Jiurns, Miss Apnes Gerald, the headquar
ters clerk whose case has been made a
party i«su(\ will bring suit to compel her
reinstatement. Meanwhile, by advice of
counsel, phe will continue to report for duty
every day. as she ha* been doing ever
since her dismissal. ',
Miss Oeralfl rest* her case on the conten
tion that the president peneral has not the
right to dismiss an employe without the
sanction of the executive board. Mrs.
Scott's supporters say that even if the
courts take this view of the matter it will
not affect the present case, for, though the
president general dismissed Miss Gerald on
her own responsibility, the board has now
indorsed her action.
This was done at a i«torrr.v meeting on
Saturday, when Mrs. Scott bitterly ar
raigned the opposition as "disloyal and ob
structive," and at the (o.me tlm* Mr?. Mary
YVilcox, recording secretary penera!, was
censured for refusing to remove Miss Ger
ald's name from the payroll. The vote
Ftoo<i 04 for Mrs. Scoit and 14 against, while
<:ph: refrained from voting. The Gerald
supporters quote legal authority for the
contention that not only a.l those who voted
to uphold Mrs. Scott but those who re
frained from voting are liable for the •<-
tion Bfrainst the dismissed employe. Miss
G«-ra'd has paced her case In the hand" of
I>. <"abell Williamson.
The Scott party has Wen endeavoring to
te.^t the strer.pth of the opp<>sitlon by call
ins; for votes of Indorsement at a number
of preliminary meetings. The Continental
Hall committee Us well as the executive
beard pave the administration a vote of
confident-©, but the District of Columbia
committee failed to do *<■■. because. It is
paid, of an interruption by Mrs. A. Guss,
which caused tl'«» adjournment of the meet
in? before the motion could be made. Mrs.
Scott promptly retaliated by dismissing
Mr?. Guss from th* committees on which
s!.e had been ncrvinp. Mrs. O'ss, rho for
merly purported tfc* administration party.
has now pone over to the Insurgents. She
had been serving to add to the p<ace and

WHO OWNS EL PASO LAND?
Rio Grande's Shifting Channel
Raises Diplomatic Question.
MANY MILLIONS INVOLVED!
Controversy Over Whether Add
ed Territory Was Acquired
by Erosion or Accretion.
Washington, April 17.— The shifting chan
nel of the Rio Grande is responsible
fur the present diplomatic controversy over ;
th*> gue?tion whether th« extreme southern '
section, valued at several million dollars, |
of the city of El Paso. Tex . on the Mexi
can frontier, dors not really belong on the
Mexican s!<> of the boundary '.in. The
land Involved, which li known locally .vi i
In the State Ixpartrnent as the Charnizal
zc»nt'. and Over which the l'nlte<l States has
always exercised Jurisdiction, is about one
and one-half miles long and a!>out five
blocks wide It contains ■ '.irt-'f number <>f
residences, owned and occupied principally
by Mexicans.
El Paso never had considered the M- \'
ran claim? seriously until the meeting of
President Taft and President Diaz la Xl
Pa>o a year ago. wh^n It was agreed that
the disputed territory for that particular
occasion should tc» reparded as a tieutrnl
■mm The rlUzons of Xi Paso ref;ar<i»Hl (liia
nirr^f-mpnt «f of the highest «quonc#. In
that It tended to recognize thai Mexico
might have a claim to tho territory, and
steps Immediately were taken to obtain a
eett!ement of the whole matter, as real es
tate values In the section involved wore be
' tuning seriously affected.
Citizens of k: p«>... including the .Mayor
<>f the city, vlMted the State Department
nome *ft-ks ago and urped Secretary Knnx
to dispose of the questions at Issue as soon
• k possible. rcprer-entinf; that the delay In
flxinp this bit of International boundary hail
already depressed the value of property
lying within the zone. Secretary Knox
save assurances that b« would take up the
matter Immediately with Mexico, and it
•was his hope that a conclusion might be
reached within the next tot weeks.
The treaty of p»>are with Mexico, which
followed the war of ISI6-*43, in fixing the
boundary alone t!:? Texas frontlf-r. pro
vided that the channel of the Rio Grande
should be thr- boundary line, but In supple
mentary boundary convention*, essentially
those «>' ISsI and IMI the r,i-t was re«oK
tilz»-<l that tIM I'io i;rnii.l<- Illver was ex
tremely flrkle regordlnß keeping Its origi
nal course, and It v.as acreed that. In ||„.
rase of a « hasipn in the course of the river
by accretion, th« territory pained by either
country should remain ,11 the country Into
which It had beru thrown, but In case of a
chanßi* by erosion, the. territory involved
*hould remain the property of th« country
within whoe« borders It originally was.
It in contended, on behalf of Mexico, that
the river ran on th« Texan fide, of the dis
puted territory as late as IVJ2. and this Con
tention Is believed to have Immt. recognized
by th«> International Boundary COQUnisifoha
which haii no entered it i, ii It* maps hikl

I'nlted Kttttea »if jurisdiction ov««r the
tcrrltury now- In dispute, but at that time
certain claimant* to the land entered puit
in the federal court to determine its status.
\V. .1. Warder was the principal of these,
find he sued to recover the land, basing his
action on an old Spanish grant known as
Bl I'hamizal.
in pressing his claim he contended that
the territory still belonged to Mexico and
therefore his title should be recognized.
The federal court, however, refused to
recognize his claim, but with those In
terested Warder later succeeded in Induc
lr.p the Mexican government to lay claim
to the territory.
During the trial Warder introduced testi
mony of several aged Mexicans to the
totted that certain cottonwood tiees still
standing in the Chamizal zone had been
known by them to have been In their pres
ent location for the last sixty or seventy
years, offering this as proof that the river
mad* its change by erosion and not by
accretion.
The Mexican government submitted pome
time npo a proposal to the Washington au
thorities, in effect withdrawing its claim
to the Ohemizal strip, if the United States
would cede to Mexico an islar.d in the 1110
Grande Hlver thirty miles below El Paso,
known as ?an Klizario Island, containing
al>out fifteen thousand acres. The United
State.-*, however, had strong reasons for
declining this offer, and in turn submit. •■!

SUPREME COURT GOSSIP
President Taft May Appoint
Five Members to Bench.
RECORD AT PRESENT TIME
Jackson, Lincoln and Grant
Named That Number — Sta
tistics of the Court.
Washington. April 17.— With little more
than a year of President Taffs administra
tion gone, the ante-election prediction that
the meet— man at the polls in 190*
would be called on to appoint a number of
numbers of the Supreme Court of th*
Tilted States ha? been realized In lar<?
part.
Justice Lurton already has been place*!
on the bench by Ml former associate on
Uw Circuit Court bench, and to-day the
Pi evident Is weighing the capability and
a\ai!ability of judges throughout the land
with a view to selecting a successor to the
late Justice Brewer. Rumors that Justin
Moody may resign on account of 111 health
an» insistent, although vigorously denied.
Two members of the court. Chief Justice
Fuller and Justice Harlan. are near their
seventy-seventh birthday. Should these
three resign, retir», or the hand of death
bo laid on them in the next three year*.
President Taft would .'j!;al the record 'or
aj r.ointing justices yince the organization
of the court. That record was made by
Jackson, and matched by Lincoln and
Grant, each naming five members.
Every President with the exception of
Harrison. Taylor and Johnson has filled
vacancies on the bench, although it was
necessary for Congress to reduce the num
ber of members of UM court to deprive
Johnson of the privilege. The Indefinite
tenure of office is responsible for the vary
ing imprints of Presidents on the personnel
of the court.
Chief Justice Marshall set the record for
service at thirty-four years. This was
equalled by Justice Story, of Massachusetts,
aril Justice Field, of California. The short
est period e\er served was by Justice Har
rison, of Maryland, who was a member of
tV court for only ■ year
Although there have been sixty-three
irembors of the bench In the 120 years of
its existence, only twenty-three, or Just
half the state??, have been represented by
favorite fons in this list. New York and
Ohio head the roll with seven members
each. Massachusetts comes next, with six.
The old states of Pennsylvania, Maryland
and Virginia have furnished five each,
while Tennessee and Kentucky follow, with
three each; South Carolina, North Caro
lina, New Jersey, Georgia, Alabama. Illi
nois and California, with two each, and
Connecticut, New Hampshire. Maine. lowa,
Mississippi, Kan-vis. Michigan and *Louisi
nna, with one each. At present Massa
chusetts has two members, and Illinois,
Kentucky. I»uislana, California, Ohio and
Tennessee have one eael:.
A wide range of age Is presented to a
President from which to choose his ap
pointees. The youngest Justice ever ap
pointed was Justice Story, of Massachu
setts. He was thirty-two when selected.
The oldest man ever securing a seat on the
bench li Justice Lurton, of Tennessee, who,
by reason of his MTVIM on this particular
tench hi designated as the "baby mem
ber." Up was sixty-six when appointed.
The record up to that time was held by
