DISTRICT OWNS RIVER
VIRGINIA CITIZENS SUBJECT TO
FISHING LAWS.

The act of Congress retroceding por-
ton of the District of Columbia to the
state of Virginia did not relinquish any
rights in and to the waters of the Poto-
mac river. according to an opinion of the
District Court of Appeals rendered yes
terday by Justice Van Orsdel.
The court holds that Congress. in its
plenary power to legisate for the Dis
trict, has the right to regulate fishing
i'm the Potomac river. The compact of
1855 the outcome of the controversy be-
tween Maryland and Virginia regarding
boundary lines. is declared never to have
been in force in the District of Columbia.
The matter came before the court on
Police Court. where Joseph Evans was con-
victed of unla wfully fishing with a dip
net in the waters of the Potomac.
Mr.. Evans, a citizen of Alexandria
the Virginia shore opposite Washington.
He declared he had been in the habit of
fishing there for many years.
After reviewing briefly the respective
rights of the states of Maryland and Vir-
ginia and the boundary dispute which
led to the compact of 1855. in which
fishing privileges in the owners of land
adjoining the Potomac were settled. with
proviso that all laws and regulations
for the preservation of fish shall be made
the court declares that certain rights to
fish were granted to the citizens Of Vir-
ginia. but Maryland never granted away
any title to the river or the soil under it.
The compact Of 1885 was never in force
in the District. states the court. 1t was
not consideration in the acts of cession
either as to soil or the protection of the
vested rights of citizens within the dis
trict coded 1t was not essential that
ii should be, as both banks Of the river
were within the District at the time of
the establishment of the seat of govern
ment, when the District included Alexan-
dria county.
The retrocesson did not recede to Vir-
ginia the rights of fishing under the COM
pact of 1IS5. because the United States
was never party to the compact, and at
the time of recession Virginia and Mary
land were not contiguous
Congress has the right within its police
power. it is declared, to make regulation
for the control of fishing. and citizens of
Virginia possess no vested rights to fish
in the waters Of the river. he act ap-
plies the same to a citizen of Virginia
hshing In the river on the southern bank
as it does to a citizen of the District
fishing on the northern shore of the Po-
tOmac.

Commissioner Macfarland Suggest:
Name for Building.

The, Brightwood Park School is the
name suggested by Commissioner Mac
farland for the new building recently
completed at Brightwood Park. Mr..
Macfarland conferred with the officers of

the name is satisfactory to them
Commissioner Macfarland stated that
the members of that citizens associati>:l
suggested that the school be named for
Joseph r. Keene, who for many years
was supervising principal of that di-
vision. Mr. Macfarland said that he
would have liked to have honored Mr.
Keene and would have recommended
that the school be named for MIN were
it not for the rule of the Commissioners
against naming public school buildings
for living men. He added that Mr.
Keene's valuable services to the cause of
education in the District are fully ap-
preciated by The Commissioners.

HIT BY CRUISER MONTGOMERY.
U. S. Naval Tug Triton Saved From
Sinking by Prompt Measures.

The L. S. naval tug Triton while lying
at her dock at the navy yard yesterday
was struck by the cruiser Montgomery
as she was leaving the yard and was so
badly injured that only for prompt work
by her officers and crew and the me-
chanics at the yard she would have sunk
at her dock
The Montgomery. which had been BERTH
ed near the Triton. was swinging around
preparatory to moving down the Eastern
branch to the river. 1t Is supposed that
in some way a blade of the rapidly re-
volving wheel of the cruiser struck the
tug and cut big cash in her steel hull
under the water.
The opening was so large that the DOW
erful pumps of the tug could not keep her
free OF water. One of the marine railway
crew had to be sent down inside her to
temporarily stop the opening. This was
done and the pumps could then keep the
water down.
Yesterday afternoon the tug was hauled
out on the marine railway at the navy
yard. where permanent repairs will be
made. The Triton will be out of service
for several days in consequence of the ac-
cident.
