IDENTIFICATION DOUBTFUL
John Paul JOres's Body May be Left n
Paris.
Plot of Ground Where Burial De-
CURED H. known. but Remains
Not Fully Identified.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE proposition
to exhume the bones Of Commodore
John Paul Jones and bring them to this
country for burial must probably be
abandoned. The navy department at
Washington has received from Lieut.
VIM. b. Sims naval attache TO the
United States embassy In Paris, a let
ter on the subject, from which the fol.
lowing extract is taken:
1T is the opinion OF the am
bassador that the remains Of
John Paul Jones are definite.
~ located In the area clearly in
dcated In NJ. de Rlcaudy's report. but
IL appears 10 be a matter OF conjecture
as 10 whether the actual remains OF
John Paul Jones could be Identified.
This would depend on whether or not
he was buried In such manner that
his remains would be preserved and
particularly whether his coffin bore any
inscription and whether he was buried
In q uniform or with a sword or some
emblem Of his former grade.
m. de Rlcaudy states In the report
above referred TO that the information
given therein is taken from documents
existing In various archives and from
authentic plans of the city Of Paris;
and that no statement has been made
that is not supported by documentary
proof that In each case can be produced
II needed
In view OF the reputation OF NJ. de
Ricaudy and his success In previous re-
searches, particularly that In locating
the body OF Turgot, II is safe to con-
clude that the statements contained in
the report can, as he says. be thorough
~ authenticated,
by reason Of the occupation Of VI.
de Ricaudy he has not been able. up
to the present time, 20 give me any fur.
Their details concerning this subject,
but In conversation with him he ac-
knowledges that, although he Is abso-
lutely convinced that the body OF John
Paul Jones was buried in the area in
dlcated and has never been removed,
he still considers II purely conjectural
whether or not II would be possible to
Identify the remains, although he Is
reasonably sure that he has established
within a narrow limit the site where
the body was buried. II was by reason
OF this uncertainty Of identifying the
body that NJ. de Rcaudy recommended
the adylsability OF acquiring a part or
all OF the area formerly included In
this cemetery, and after clearing It OF
the lnconsderable structures which
now cover II, to make II a small square
and erect thereon a suitable monument
to the naval hero"
