MONTGOMERY LAND
EXPERIENCING A BOOM
Local Real Estate Operators Are
Actively Engaged in Securing
Options on Farms.

Local real estate operators are actively
Interested in securing options on a num-
Der of farms in Montgomery county, Md,
and this fact, coming in connection with
a report that Mrs. Hartman, widow of
the railroad magnate. is about to pur-
chase, or has already purchased, a large
tract of ground in the county, has given
to Maryland farm land adjacent to the
Capital city the nearest approach to a
real boom that it ever has experienced.
Authentic statements are at hand that
the Washington real estate men have
taken options on hundreds of acres of
land R. E. L. Yellott, one of the local
brokers who is interested in the deal,
refused this afternoon to state either
who was interested in purchasing the
land or to say what purpose the pur-
chaser or purchasers may have in mind.
Mr.. YellotrS only criticism of the early
reports of the deal was the statement
that the price fixed for the land in the
options averaged 500 an acre. Mr.. yell
lott declared the price would average
nearer 500 an acre.
Among the farms on which options have
been given are said to be those of VIII
son brothers, William Masruder. Maj.
John Mcdonald, Hampton Jones, Charles
E. Higgins, Charles Case and Messrs. Ke-
fauver. Stearn, Hamilton and Ford. The

WHO OWNS THE AIR
USED BY AWATORS?
American Professor of Law at
Cambridge University Says
1t Is Open Question.

NEW YORK, September 29.-Dr. H. d.
Hazeltine. an American professor of law
at Cambridge University, who is now in
New York on leave OF absence, is de-
voting his energies to study of the legal
phases of aviation. He believes that a
code Of laws for the air will be devel-
oped within the next few years Some of
his views on this subject are given in an
interview published here today
"A chief point of discourse" he saws,
lis as to whether the air is free; whether
each state has the right of sovereignty
to the air space above its territory and
its waters, or whether the air space
should be open to all countries Every
one admits that the air above the high
seas should be free.
MY own view is strongly in favor of
sovereignty. Each state could contract
with other states as it sees best in regard
to the occupation Of its local atmosphere,
and could license foreign fiers to traverse
and could license foreign flyers to traverse
regulations affecting the health, safety
and welfare Of the country.
English View of Question.
There are many questions of private
law, for instance, the right of land
owner to the air above him. / have look
ed into English cases as thoroughly as
could, and l have found that there is a
rc!l established view among English
lawyers that landowner owns the air
space up to the heavens
English courts have held that certain
interferences with the air space are either
trespasses or nuisances. Such decisions
have been rendered in the case Of ancient
lights, stringing wires, flying balloons
and dlScharg1ng projectileS.
Il think that aviators ought to be re-
strained from flying over our cities.
French and German regulations already
forbid flying over cities of a certain size.
In course of time air routes will be de-
fined. with stations where it may be per-
