ton they would not take back from hotel

Heretofore. it is said. the custom of

them, return them just before the cur
tains went up. Without permission to

DISPUTE OVER TITLE
TO RECLAIMED LAND
Governments Claim to Area
Near Alexandria May Be
Settled by Court.

1t is believed that the courts finally will
have to determine the question of title to
the reclaimed area at Battery Cove, near
Jones Point lighthouse, below Alexandria,
now in dispute between the United States
government and the riparian owners of
the adjacent land. In execution of an
act of Congress providing for the i'm
provement of the navigation of the Po-
tomac river opposite Alexandria, Col.
Langfitt. the engineer officer in charge of
the work, deposited all the material
dredged from the river channel in Battery
Cove and extended the shore line accord
ingly. The work was completed last
year.
Approved by Attorney General.
The army engineers acted on the au
thority of an opinion rendered by the At
torney General of the United States that
the title of the land thus reclaimed would
be vested In the United States. That
opinion was based. it is stated, on the
theory that the land was reclaimed by
the government. and. moreover, being
within the high water line of the Poto-
mac river, actually was part oil the ter
ritory of the District Of Columbia under
the original cession from the state OF
Maryland.
The claim Of United States jurisdiction
was based further on the theory that
Maryland had jurisdiction over the waters
of the Potomac river up to the high-Water
line on the Virginia side under the orig
inal charter from the English crown.
Disputed by Land Owners.
The owners of the adjacent land which
formed the original river front vigorously
dispute the federal contention, and have
enlisted the support of the authorities Of
the state Of Virginia and Of the city of
Alexandria, in an appeal to the Secre-
tarv of War to recede from the position
taken nv the Attorney General 1t was
contended generally that the government
could not deprive the private owners OF
their riparian rights simply by filling up
the shallow water in front of their prop
erty and by that act changing the shore
line of the river.
Furthermore it was held by the repre-
sentatives of the adjacent property own
ers. that the reclaimed area Is in Vir-
.inia and not in that part Of Maryland
coded to the District of Columbia.
Will Maintain Jurisdiction.
Secretary Stimson has not yet an
nounced his decision on the proposition
recently submitted to him by the attor-
ney general Of the state of Virginia and
others representing the riparian owners
that he recede from the position that the
United States holds title to the reclaimed
area 1t is known, however, that, as re-
suits of a recent conference with Attor-
ney General Wickersham. he has prac-
tically concluded to maintain jurisdiction
over the land in dispute in the name of
the United States until il shall have
been positively established by legal pro-
ceedings that such claim is untenable.
