THE FUNERAL POSTPONED.
Remains of Hanvey May be Shipped
to AtInntn.

The funeral of the late James Hanvey
who was found dead in a room at the
American House Saturday night, which
was to have taken place yesterday at
o'clock, was postponed until today at the
same hour, in the event that no other ar
rangements are made in the mean time.
The remains were to have been Inferred
at Arlington yesterday at the expense OF
the District Volunteer Relief Committee
had not word been received from the
Knights of Pythias, of Atlanta, Ca, oi
which Hanvey was a member, requesting
a postponement of the funeral. II is un-
derstood that the Atlanta Pythians are
investigating certain circumstances re-
garslipg the disposition OF the effects of the
dead man, and that they may desire that
the remains be shipped 10 Atlanta foI
burial at the expense of the lodge. In
this event the money advanced by the
District Volunteer Relief Committee 10 de-
fray the expenses of the funeral will be
returned.
The matter under investigation by the
Pythiaus. il is understood, is what became
of $215.59 which Hanvey is known to have
had in his possession previous 10 his de-
mise That amount was paid to Hanyey
by a paymaster in the army on the 2sth
of March The man died on the Sth OF
April, and as none Of the money was found
and he was not regarded as a man who
would be likely to spend such sum in
so short a space OF time, the theory is ad-
vanced that he was robbed either before or
after his death. The police took charge
Of the remains shortly after the death and
found a watch and chain and papers show
ing that the man had received the sum
mentioned. No trace OF the money was
reported.
1t was stated last night by Nichols &
Brown, the undertakers who have charge
Of the remains of Hanvey. that they had
been ordered TO postpone the funeral until
today. They were expecting word from
Atlanta regarding the disposition of the
body, but at a late hour had received
none The undertakers had been given to
understand that the Knights of Pythias OF
Atlanta would probably request that the
remains be shipped to that city, but stated
that unless word was received the burial
would take place today at Arlington. Den
mis- Brown, a member Of the Knights OF
Pythias, who is in the employ of the
Western Union Telegraph Company. was
in communication with the Atlanta Pyth-
ians yesterday relative to the disposition
OF the body of Hanvey. 1t was not known
at late hour what arrangements had
been decided upon.

ON cURBsToNE MERCHANTS.
A Decision Defining Their Legal
Status mt Market Houses.

The District Commissioners. acting upon
request from Attorney Daniel OC. Cal
laghan, of ass Louisiana Avenue, have
granted the Riggs Market Company au-
thority to use the sidewalk in front of the
markethouse on the south side of Street,
between Thirteenth and Fourteenth Streets
northwest, for business purposes. Tne
| Commissioners were also requested by Mr..
| Callaghan to define the market limits and
| bring the curbstone statesmen under con-
| troll of the market. When the request was
| first received ii was referred to L. p.
I, Bradshaw, an inspector of the Engin er
| Department He made the following re-
| port:
1T is not believed that the parking act
| is applicable as defining market privileges,
but the use of sidewalks and par kings as
confined to ordinary business uses. The
| use here desired is not an ordinary busi-
ness use. but that of a markethouse char
tered with all the rights, duties, and priv
ileges incident thereto, and interpretable
only by and in connection with the char
ter. Among these privileges, in the case
of the municipal markets at least the
right of the presence of curbstone dealers
adjacent to and bordering on market
thoroughfares, in permanent occupation OF
sidewalk space during market times far
beyond the market confines, has been rec
ognized, and in the case of this market,
while 1t is not a right recognized by any
regulation, there is yet the prestige of
twelve years of such occupation from one
end of the block TO the other. with this
seemingly unfair distinction. that such
dealers at municipal markets are subject
to control OF the market authorities and
regulations, while at this market they en-
joy a sort of independent use of the side
walk, under no obligation to the market
authorities, yet imposing upon 1t the duty
of cleaning up after them. A definition of
the market limits and privileges being de-
Enable rather by its charter than by the
parking act, ii is deemed consistently
within its scope, in the absence of objec-
tion or interference with the paramount
rights of abutters, 10 authorize the market
authority to assume control of said curb
stone dealers bordering thereon to the end
Of their orderly arrangement on the street,
subjecting them to market regulations, and
even for the municipal authority to exer-
else control of the market itself to the end
of its orderly government"

Keor9 Of Study and Experiments
Were Necessa1y 10 Produce II.
People who handle: the yardstick
have but little idea Of the years of
study and experiments that were nee
lessary to secure the standard yard
measure, observed an official Of the
coast survey.
Bird, q famous scientist, made the
first standard yard IN 176O, but the
English government did not legalize it
until 1924. Ten years afterward,
when the house OF parliament In Lon
don was destroyed by fire, the stand
ard yard was lost. and England was
again without standard yard Of
length. Sheepsbanks next made q
standard measure, which the English
government adopted, and, so that It
could not be again destroyed by
fire, four authorized copies were made
ofsit. One Of these was deposited in
the royal mint. another in the Royal
society, another in the observatory at
Greenwich. and the fourth was I'm
bedded In the walls of the new house
Of parliament
The standard yard measures which
are owned by the government are cop
les of the original, one of which is
owned by the coast survey. The Unit
ed States naval observatory has one
also. The delicacy Of its construction
may be gathered by the fact that
change of temperature Of one-hun-
dredth Of q degree Of Fahrenheit has
been found to produce sensible effect
on the length Of the bar.
1.-THE copies of the standard are
made Of bronze for the reason that
bronze is less affected by temperature
than any distinct or single metal.

original standard yard measure in

sistants for nearly six years. Sleeps
