CONGRESS WIPES OUT
WASHINGTON, March 2. (/P)—
State boundary questions and land ti
tle troubles are fairly general, but
they seudom provide a “No Man’s
Land” where the bootleggers and
moonshiners are practically free from
molestation.
That is a situation, however, which
Congress has just attempted to cor
rect by transferring to Virginia 40
acres near Alexandria known as Bat
tery Cove.
Until this was done, the tract was
federal property. Virginia peace of
ficers had nothing to do with main
taining order there. Federal authori
ties had no practicable means of pol
icing it, since it was no longer within
the District of Columbia.
All because, when the United States
returned to Virginia the 35 square
miles or so originally acquired from
that state to form the District of Co
lumbia, it fixed the high water mark
of the Potomac as its boundary, and
Battery Cove was “made land,” with
the bed of the Potomac as its base.

nine rounds, McLarnin’s tenth-round

referee- Seventy-five hundred per
