No. 9, original. ARKANSAS v. TENNESSEE. March 17, 1941.

DECREE

On consideration of the report filed herein on February 24, 1941, by W. H. Green and O. W. Gauss, the Commissioners appointed herein by decree of this Court entered October 14, 1940 (311 U. S. 1), to locate and mark on the ground the boundary between the State of Arkansas and the State of Tennessee, at the points designated in said decree; and the State of Arkansas and the State of Tennessee having stipulated by counsel that they have no exceptions and no objections to the said report, and they having applied to this Court to terminate the time within which exceptions or objections to said report may be filed:

It is now adjudged, ordered, and decreed as follows: 1. The time within which exceptions or objections to said report may be filed is hereby terminated;

2. The said report is in all respects confirmed;

3. The boundary line marked and located on the ground as set forth by the report and accompanying map is established and declared to be the true boundary between the State of Arkansas and the State of Tennessee, as determined by the decree of this Court of October 14, 1940;

4. As it appears that the Commissioners have completed their work in conformity with the decree of this Court of October 14, 1940, they are hereby discharged, and their fees and expenses in the amounts stated in the report are approved;

5. The Clerk of this Court is directed to transmit to the Chief Magistrates of the States of Arkansas and Tennessee copies of this decree, duly authenticated under the seal of this Court, together with copies of the said report

of the Commissioners and of the accompanying map; 6. The costs in this cause shall be borne and paid in equal parts by the States of Arkansas and Tennessee.

No. 268. MISSOURI-KANSAS PIPE LINE Co. v. UNITED STATES ET AL.; and

No. 269. PANHANDLE EASTERN PIPE LINE Co. v. UNITED STATES ET AL. March 17, 1941.

It is ordered that in the sentence beginning on line 6 of page 2 of the opinion handed down March 3, 1941, after the words "These acts stifled" and before the word "Panhandle's" there be inserted the words ", so it was claimed,".

It is further ordered that the paragraph beginning on page 4 of the opinion be stricken from the opinion and that the following paragraph be added in its place:

"A final contention in support of the order remains. It is based on two prior denials of motions by Mokan to intervene. Treating Mokan's motions as made on its own behalf on the score of its ownership of more than forty percent of Panhandle's stock, the district court denied the motions. Appeals from these denials were dismissed by the circuit court of appeals, 108 F. 2d 614, and we denied certiorari, 309 U. S. 687. The denials are now urged as res judicata. But they were a rejection of Mokan's attempt to intervene in its own behalf. In neither instance was the relief denied deemed a mode of enforcing Panhandle's rights under Sections IV and V of the Decree. The earlier denials involved different legal claims from that now asserted, and, therefore, are no bar to the present proceeding."

The petition for rehearing in No. 268 is denied.
Opinion reported as amended, ante, p. 502.
