LITIGATION PROBABLE
OVER RECLAIMED LAND
United States to Defend Its
Claim to Ground at
Alexandria.

y legal complication already has arisen
in the controversy between the United
States government and certain private in
terests in Virginia over the ownership of
about forty acres of reclaimed land at
Battery cove, Alexandria. That land was
made by the deposit OF material dredged
from the channel of the Potomac opposite
Alexandra for the improvement Of navi-
cation. On the completion of the dredg-
ing operations force of men under Col.
Langfitt, United States engineer in charge
of the work. erected q fence around the
reclaimed area.
Reported to District Attorney.
According to a report to the War De-
partment, q force of men acting under
the direction of James r. Cation of Alex
andria who represents the Agnew estate.
riparian owners Of part of the land ad-
joining the new made land, tore down
about 200 feet of the fence. on the gen.
eral ground that 1t was on land owned by
that estate. Col. Langfitt has reported
the matter to the United States Attorney
for the District of Columbia for such ac-
ton as he may regard as necessary for
the protection of the interests of the
United States. 1t is claimed that the
disputed territory is within the limits of
the District of Columbia under the orig
inal grant from the state of Maryland.
Request in Behalf of Claimants.
The attorney general of Virginia and
the congressional delegation of that state
have asked the Secretary of War to
direct the surrender of the land to
the riparian owners of the adjoining ter
ritory, and he has the matter under ad-
yisement. The fact that an attempt has
been made by certain of the claimants to
take forcible possession may delay action
in the matter. however. until after the
prosecuting officers Of the District have
determined their course of action with
respect to the removal of the fence.
