Vital Questions
There are vital questions at issue in
the matter that must be passed on by
the court before the city could proceed
and the matters are not issues that will
be touched upon by the supreme court
In the cases now pending. and 1t was
the advice of Dillon & Hubbard, given
previously, however to their being placed
in possession of all the facts, that the
city wait until the case now pending be
decided before any further action be
taken. After that the advice was to
submit the questions TO the court of last
resort.
When, however, they were placed in
possession of the information that no
legal or binding contract existed be-
tween the city and the water companies
and therefore there was no ground on
which any action tending toward a set
tlement of the questions could be based

terhouse, rs set forth in this article!

MAKING THE DIRT FLY.
Method of Excavating Being Carried
Out in Subdivision.

A method of handling dirt in the ex-
tensive grading work now in progress in
the subdivision of Connecticut Avenue
Highlands, adjoining on the north Cleve-
land Park, Is interesting as well as unique.
There Is big hill to come down and a
hollow to fill up. Instead of hauling the
dirt by following the usual course, large
sluiceways of wood have been built. which
start from the level where the grading
is to be done. thence down the hill to the
place where it is to be deposited.
The men at work carving off the top of
the hill shovel the dirt into the sluice-
ways which are at the side of thu exca
vations and then streams of water are
brought into play, which assist the dirt on

EXCAVATING WORK,
METHOD OF DIRT DISPOSAL IN

its way down the descent to the bottom of
the hill. where 1t is needed for the fill.
By this process only one handling of
the dirt takes place, namely. that when
IL is shoveled into the sluices. The rest
Of the work is performed by gravity, with
the aid of water.
Mr.. George P. Robinson, the vice presi-
dent of the Connecticut Avenue Highlands
Company. which is developing this prop
erty, Is pleased with the success of the
plan of performing this work. At any
rate, the dirt Is being moved, and that is,
of course, what he wants; and it is being
moved, too, with expedition, which is an
other important consideration.
The plan as suggested by Mr. Robinson
requires a sluceway nearly a quarter of
mile in length, with branches. 1t has
been in successful operation for the past
two weeks. The sluices are constructed
of inch boards eighteen inches wide and
twelve inches high. Into these troughs
the earth is shoveled and is then washed
by water from four lines of regular fire
engine hose to the ravine to be filled. BY

Wolf Tones Burial Place.

To the Editor of The Star:
In The Star of the oath instant. under
the caption. ITO be Used as Play
ground" it is stated that among those
whose bodies were buried in the old Pres
byterian cemetery at gath street and Volta
place. GEORGETOWN. was Wolf Tone, "a
celebrated Irish patriot
The fact is that the remains of Theo-
bald Wolf Tone We're Inferred in the old
churchyard of Bodenstown, County Kill
dare. Ireland. Gen. Theobald Wolf Tone
bore the commission OF adiutant general
in the French army and was captured
September S. 1898. on board the Hoche in
an expedition against the British to re
store the Independence of his native land,
to achieve for Ireland what Washington
achieved for America. He was captured
during desperate engagement which
lasted six hours. the Hoche being sur
rounded by four British ships of the line
He was recognized among the French Off
GERS at dinner by an acquaintance, who
revealed his identity, after which he was
ironed, tried by court-martial and SEN
fenced to death. which sentence he frus-
trated by severing the jugular vein. Sir
George Hill. a fellow-student, was his
Judas 1scariot. The poet Davis writes Of
Wolf Tone:
In him the heart of woman combined
With heroic life, and n governing mind
A martyr for 1reland-his grave has stone
His name seldom named, and his virtues I'M
known"
Wolf Tone founded the Society of
United Irishmen October ~. 1891, the OBJ
ject of which was the abolition of the
penal laws" These laws practically
outlawed the Catholics of the British
Isles. The society was at first consttu-
tionally organized, but spies having
broken into the quarters of the society 1t
resolved itself into q secret society, which
resulted in the famous Instruction of
1898. that terminated with the famous
battle of Vinegar Hill and cost England
10000 of the flower of her army in con-
the thirty-two engaged. Had the remain
ing thirty-one counties been side by side
in the struggle the result to Britain can
be readily conjectured.
In 1894 the arrest and trial of Rev. Will
liam Jackson. Protestant clergyman,
drew the suspicious of the "Peelers'' to
Wolf Tone. and TO save himself fled with
his lovely wife and three children to
America. He arrived at Wilmington, on
the Delaware, August l, 1795. He soon
had an audience with the French minister
at Washington. with the result that he
departed for France, where by his indom-
liable will and persistence he succeeded
in obtaining from the French governme mt
of which he was taken prisoner, after an
engagement of six hours. during which
he commanded a battery.
The life and virtues of Wolf Tone were
commenaorat ted by the erection of mon
ument to his memory recently in the city
of Dublin.
