State ef Texas and United States
.Judge Mix • Deal.
Austin, Texas, June The fight
between the State and Federal courts
for the control of the receiver of the
Waters-Pierce Oil Company began
yesterday afternoon, when the State
filed In the State Court ot Civil Ap-
peals an application for that court to
allow Receiver Robert J. Eckhardt to
assume immediate control of the as-
sets of the Waters-Pierce * Oil Com-
pany and to permit Mr. Eckhardt to
bring such action on the
Court as will compel that court to
relinquish whatever control It may
have assumed over the Waters-Pierce
Oil Company. - i
It Is pointed out that the Court of
Civil Appeals has authority to order
Mr. Eckhardt as receiver to take charge
during the pendency of the appeal
from the appointment of a receiver
by Judge Brooks, tl Is possible that
an appeal from the decision of this
court, whatever It may be, may be
carried to the Supremo Court of the
State. It will then be a fight between
the State and Federal Court. There
Is but one higher court In the United
States than the Supreme Court of a
State, and it may prder Receiver Eck-
hardt to take charge ot the property at
once.
The State takes the position that
the Federal Court has no jurisdiction
In the matter. That the suit was
brought by the State, and the State
Court ordered the appointment of a
receiver. Afterward the Federal Court
came in and ordered the appointment
of a receiver for the ninety days pend-
ing an appeal In the Court of Civil
Appeals.

Conditions Compiled by Memphis
Newspaper From Reports of Spe-
cial Correspondents. **
Memphis, Tenn. June 14. — The
Commercial Appeal today prinst the
following Nummary of crop conditions
compiled from reports received from
its special correspondents throughout
the cotton belt:
The cotton crop made material ad-
vancement during the week. An Im-
portant step forward has been made
in cultivation and, excepting a few
scattering localities, the crop Is clean
and In an excellent state ot cultiva-
tion for the season. An exception to
this is the State of Oklahoma, where
rains during the week kept labor
from the fields.
Correspondents note that the plant,
though quite small, is healthy and in
a condition to respond well to favor-
able future conditions, should such oc-
cur. The crop is still two to four
weeks late, however, according to lo-
cality, and in many sections of the
central and easterp cotton belt the
poor stands have not been remedied.
The older planted cotton in the south-
ern districts of the belt is fruiting,
blooms are reported from several of
these sections, and in other places the
stalk is taking on bolls.
Such rainfall as occurred, with the
exception of Oklahoma, as noted
above, was highly beneficial, com-
ing as it did, following thorough culti-
vation, and nowhere has the cottou
suffered yet from lack of moisture.
