Governments Claim to Land.

The governments contention. in its eff
forts to regain what it considers ITS law
full property is that the tract IN con-
troversy was included within the limits
of the city of Washington originally
laid out, and that about 1929 number
of persons squatted upon the land. the
title to which was in the United States
under the terms of the conveyanceS by
the original prCprietOrS of the city site
to the trustees appointed by President
Washington To lay out the federal city.
Various deeds have been executed by
these alleged Squatters' and their sue
cessons until the possession of the land
has descended to Mr.. Hausman and the
Hill estate The claim is made that the
"squatters'' had no title to the land and
could not lawfully transfer its poSs s.
sion and that consequently, the present
owners are without good title. and should
be made to deliver the land to the United
States.
On the part of the supposed present own
ers it is commended that the property never
was included within the city limits. but
was north of the boundary line and a
portion of what is known the county
of W Washington. which did not figure in
the original division between the pro-
prietors and the government. AS a cir
cumstance tending to prove this conten-
ton the present occupants point to the
name of the tract as distinguished from
a square number, which is given to city
property.
Iney claim thfir titles have come down
by successive conveyances and that they
are lawfully in possession and should not
be evicted

Employees Go Without Milk.

In obedience to an der by Secretary
Wilson only milk from tuberculin-t tested
cattle is now allowed within the pre-
cincts of the Department of Agriculture.
AS the order was not announced until
yesterday. and as. up TO that time. the
daily trade in milk with employees at the
department had amounted to something
like 100 gallons a day, the sudden switch
caused no little confusion this morning
and many employees returned to work
after the lunch hour without having con-
sumed their usual quota of milk.
