MANDAMUS WRIT DENIED
BY D. C. SUPREME BENCH
Jurisdiction of D. c. Over Bed of
River Prevents "Wharfng"
Rights, Says Judge

Interests striving for identification of
the Virginia shore of the Potomac River
scored a victory in District Supreme
Court today when Justice Oscar X.
Luhring declined to overrule a refusal
of Secretary of War Patrick j. Hurley
and Maj. Gen. Lytle Brown, chief Of
Engineers, to permit the construction
Of a wharf just beyond the Key Bridge.
The wharf was to be built on the
property of Lucien H. and Rebekah S.
Greathouse. The owners had con-
tracted to sell to the Sun Oil Co. and a
wharf was to be built to accommodate
bsrges and storage tanks were to be
located on the property for storing of
oil.
Sought Mandamus.
Application was made to the court
by the owners through Attorneys CheS-
ter I. Long, Spencer Gordon and John
Marshall for mandamuS compelling
the issuance of the permit for the
wharf.
In refusing the mandamus Justice
Luhring holds that the title to the bed
of the Potomac River is in the United
States, under its jurisdiction over the
District of Columbia, which extends to
the high-water mark on the Virginia
shore, and that there is no right in
the riparian land owners to wharf
out into the river. Congress also, the
court points out, has passed the George
Washington Memorial Highway act,
which provides for a roadway alcng the
shores of the Potomac from Mount Ver-
non to Great Falls, which will pass the
property in question, and the War De-
partment authorities were acting within
their rights in refusing a permit in the
face of that congressional authority.
against Public Policy"
Through Assistant United States At
torney John w. Ffhelly, the War De-
partment had conceded that under the
river and harbor act of 1899 the pro-
posed wharf would not interfere with
navigation, but claimed that it would
be against public policy to allow the
wharf in view Of the congressional
action.
Counsel for the owners announce
their intention to appeal to the Court
of Appeals.
