AFFECTS LAND TITLES
DECISION FIRST OF ITS KIND IN
ONE HUNDRED YEARS.

The Court of Appeals in the case of
Bursey agt. Lyon, just decided. holds
that in an action of cjectment. where
neither the plaintiff nor any person under
whom he claims has ever been in pos
session OF the land involved in the suit.
and where 1t is not shown that the plain
tiff and defendant claim under a common
source Of title, the plaintiff must prove
a perfect title Of record from the sover-
eighty to himself before the defendant is
called upon to make any defense. The
opinion was rendered by Mr.. Justice Van
Orsdel. :
The land involved in the suit was con-
veyed. with other land, by William Prout
as original proprietor to Beall and Can't.
trustees, at the founding of the National
capital. The land so conveyed was by
these trustees and their successors laid
oft into streets. squares and lots, the streets
passing to the United States. part of the
lots being sold and the remainder of the
lots including the one in suit, passing
back to William Prout under a certificate
of allotment. The plaintiff began his proof
with this certificate of allotment, con-
tending that it showed the origin of his
title in the United States as the sover-
eighty.

calling yesterday the fact that Presi-
dent Roosevelt returns 20 the Capital

Roosevelt once took a submarine vOy-

Friends Of the President viii not be

THE WORLD INTERESTED
IN AEROPLANE TRIALS

record breakers, no matter If such ca
bling did cost a few hundrea dollars.
Not only has this interest been MANI
tested by European dailies. but the
weeklies and the mOnthlies, whether de-
voted to technical subjects or only TO
current events, have found in the
Wright flights a new and almost unex-
plOred field for photography, and for
fine writing.
\ great many Of the American week
lies and mOnthlies have had men on the
ground at Fort Myer taking pictures
and watching the flights. while the for
eigu papers of similar nature have been
represented either by men who have
done work for them previously or by
others with whom they have quickly
got in touch
Through the press associations, or by
their own special men, it IS doubtful if
any great newspaper, or for that mat
ter, many of the ordinary size. whether
any great illustrated weekly or maya
zine, is Unrepresented at the Fort Myer
trials
Just at present, therefore. there is
probably no one SPOT on the large round
bail which We call the earth. that is
attracting more attention than is the
little almost square, rough, parade
ground at Fort Myer, Va.
One Man in Billions.
And consequently, it is doubtful IL
there IS any one man in the same world
that is supposed TO contain some billions
OF human beings. who IS more talked
Of today than Is Orvilie Wright. the
Dayton manufacturer Of bicycles.
And by the same token, American
aeronautics stand today far ahead Of
those Of any country in the world, and
while no one who has read the news
papers is likely 10 believe that it can
not be beaten, most every one is from
Missouri in this matter and wants, de-
cidedly, to be shown.
There is no one, not even Mr. Wright
himself who is more pleased with the
astonishing feats Of the aeroplane, than
are the Signal Corps officers who are so
directly connected with the tests.
To them it means not only that in a
few days at best they viii be the own
ers, practically speaking, OF the greatest
invention Of its kind in existence, but
II means also that the American army
in one field most interesting to all arm
les, shall stand before all the others.
