WAIT FOR CONGRESS
Plans Made for Reclamation
of the Anac0stia.
ASK TITLE TO LAND STRIP
Delay in Beginning Work Under
Available Appropriation l. Ex.
planned in Report.

concrete plans for the. reclamation and
development Of the Anacostia river from
the Anacostia bridge northeast to the
District line will be put into execution
as soon as the necessary legislation is
obtained from Congress to establish title
to narrow strip of land along the high
water line Of the river. At the last
previous session Of Congress an ap-
preparation Of 100000 was made for be-
ginning this improvement, and it is gen.
orally expected that q similar appropria-
ton will be made at this session.
In accordance with the original act q
board of engineer officers, consisting OF
Coils. Langfitt, Judson and Cosby, has
collected data and considered plans as
to the best method of making the i'm
provement. Observations have been made
OF the fiuvial discharges into the river
from the various branches at points above
tide water influence and also as to the
turbidity Of the Anacostia river. Sound
ings have been taken Of the river from
tho District line to Bladensburg.

available appropriation is explained by
report to Gen. Bixby, chief Of engi-
neers. He says that the upper section
OF the Anacostia river has been covered
by a carefully executed system Of tri-
angulation and the results Of previous
surveys have been used also in making
the necessary maps.
Owing to the fact" says he. that the
shores Of the Anacostia river are largely
owned by private parties. 1t has been diff
ficult to decide on what work the avail
est advantage. It Is at present impossible
to take dredging plant above the Penn
sylvania Avenue bridge, as that bridge
has no draw, and the board has hesitated
until q complete project for the improve
ment has been adopted and the character
OF future navigation above the Pennsylva-
mia Avenue bridge has been determined.
Bill to Get Title to Land.
1.-The District Commissioners in Coop
Grafton with the board of officers in
charge of this improvement. have secured
the Introduction of q bill in Congress
which provides for procuring title to a
narrow strip Of land along the high water
line Of Anacostia river from the Ana
costa bridge to the District line and all
riparian .TlsneS pertaining thereto. One
man who owns property in Anacostia
near the AnacOstia bridge offered to deed
a strip along the high-water line in order
to expedite the work of improvement. AS
the adjoining owners have not indicated
their willingness to cooperate In like
manner. it Is impossible at present to
make a hydraulic fill along the shore"
While awaiting the action Of Congress
with respect to the question of title to
the land above the Anacostia bridge work
is being prosecuted vigorously In execu-
ton of the project for the improvement
of that section Of the Anacostia river from
It's mouth to the Anacostia bridge, includ-
ing the dredging of a channel and the fill
ing in Of the flats.

ELUSIVE ROBBER LOOTS
SEVERAL HOMES IN DAY
duplicate Key Worker" Sue
cessfuI in Dodging
Police.

Although the police have been search
ing actively for the duplicate key work
err" who has robbed several houses dur
ing the past few weeks. the thief yester-
day made one Of the largest hauls Of his
career. The authorities fear he will give
them as much trouble as did the ghost
robber" several years ago. Maj. Sylvester
has had detectives on special duty. lately,
but the robber has eluded them.
It was suggested, several days ago. that
the robber was a man wearing woman's
attire, but at several places a white man
In male attire was seen and frightened
away.
Private homes and apartment houses
seem equally attractive to the elusive
thief. He appeared at Ave places yester-
day, making successful hauls at three Of
them. At two homes he was frightened
away before he had had an opportunity
to commit q robbery.
One Of the daylight robberies yesterday
was at the house Of J. w. Burrows. 1856
18th street northwest. Members Of the
family were away, and when Mrs. Bur-
rows returned she found the door fas-
tened as she had left 1t, but the house
had been ransacked. Jewelry valued at
white shirt and q tie were taken. The
robber also took $1S in cash.
Another OF yesterdays victims was
Bernard Herman. occupant of an apart
ment at 1911 Park road. 1t is thought
the robber waited until he saw all the
occupants leave the apartment and then
opened the door with his skeleton key
and searched at his leisure for valuables.
The property taken included jewelry
worth $3.50 and SO in cash.
Gardner F. johnson OF 1908 18th street
northwest discovered last night about
1890 o'clock that his house had been
entered between that time and 2:30 o'clock
In the afternoon. Jewelry valued at $51
was taken from q bureau drawer.
An unsuccessful attempt was made at
1:3O o'clock yesterday afternoon to enter
the apartment of G. A. Davis in the Rus
sell, 1913 Columbia road. Lillian Conrad,
a servant. met a stranger on the stairs
while on her way. from the basement Of
the building. and she gave to the police
a partial description Of the man.
An unsuccessful attempt was also made
to rob the house Of Mrs. w. c. Hunt, 1347
Otis street. The intruder forced open
q cellar door, but he was frightened
away before he had time to search for
valuables.
