Roosevelt has requested Congress to
appropriate $4,000 to search for the
body Of John Paul Jones in an aban-
doned cemetery Of Paris and erect a
suitable monument.
The result of the search instigated
in 1899 by Henry Vignaud, secretary Of

the graveyard was discontinued and
then as a laundry. In digging "A pit for
the boiler of the laundry many bones
were exhumed. At present the place
