Bridge Rights and Supreme Court Motions In 1907
Solicitor General Hoyt moved to advance Union Bridge Company v United States over the Allegheny River at Pittsburg to resolve if Congress can delegate to the Secretary of War the power to declare what obstructs navigation. The case follows a $5000 fine for refusal to raise the bridge and raises broad questions about federal authority over navigable waterways. The United States also pressed for December 3 hearing on Falk & Bro tobacco dutiable upon withdrawal, risking a potential $41 million annual loss to the government if taxed on withdrawal. Other actions include Sullivan v St Louis Brownsville and Mexico Railway Company and Abramsmosenberger certiorari denial. Kansas City mayor must pay a $1009 fine for assuming office post-deposition. Virginia vs West Virginia slated for March 4, 1907, on partition deeds. Montana Mining Company granted leave to file an injunction against St Louis Mining Company over Drumsummon mine ownership.

Miss Jordan Wins Case on District Property Trust
The District Court of Appeals affirmed in Lendrum v Jordan that a real estate trust may be upheld even if a will is void for perpetuity.

Contested Title to Boundary Street Land in Supreme Court
The dispute centers on land on Boundary Street where occupants claim possession under Robert Peter’s deed, while the government asserts no title. Boundary line disputes and long occupation by occupants and successors challenge the United States title, with adverse possession not valid against the federal government. Robert C. Fox long contested federal patent attempts, and Congress has repeatedly defeated quitclaim bills. Defendants are William H. Lewis, trustee, and Alfred E. T. Hausmann.
