For the past two weeks detachment or
the Signal Corps from Fort Myer has been
in camp on the Hamilton road east OF Con-
gress Heights. not far from the Good Hope
Heights, and each night the signals of the
detachment have been sent soaring aloft
to be answered by Fort Myer. Last night
a particularly brilliant display was made.
This gave rise. it is said, to a suspicion at
police headquarters that some one was
violating the law. and an order was issued
requiring that the explosion of fireworks
be stopped. Police Officer Branson reported
the facts of the matter to headquarters
and there was no further anxiety nor was
the signaling interrupted.
