RECLAIMED LAND
Government Loses the San Francisco
Bay Case.

Washington, April 13.-The United
States supreme court to-day decided the
contention between the United States and
private parties as to the ownership of the
Submerged and reclaimed land in San
Francisco Bay, which includes Mission
Rocks, against the government.
The claimant in the case opposing the
government was the Mission Rock COM
pany which asserted title to the land thru d
grant from the state of California. The
national government contested the claim
on the ground that the land had been re-
served by order of the president for naval
purposes.
The court held. however, that there was
no intention to reserve more land than
could be utilized. It was further held that
it had been the uniform policy of the
state of California to dispose of contagious
lands, and that as there had been ma de-
parture from the rule in this case, there
was no reason for questioning the valid
ity Of the Mission Rocks company
