CREMhTORTUM TESTED.
Satisfactory Results Obtained From
District Incineratinc Plant

In the presence OF a number of District
officials the recently completed municipal
crematorium, which is located on the
grounds of the Washington Asylum Hos
ptal was officially tested yesterday aft
ernoon. 1t was a highly successful test,
according to Snowden' Ashford, District
building Inspector. although the building
will not be formally accepted by the Com
missiOners from the contractor until few
minor additions are made in connection
with the furnaces.
Two bodies were used in making the
test. One was that of white man
named James Fox. who died in IA Penn
sylvania avenue lodging house and whose
body was not claimed by relatives. and
named Harry MahOney, who died at the
Washington Asylum Hospital from
pulmonary tuberculosis and whose body
was left on the hands CT the District
The body of Fox was the first one used in
the test.
There is custom throughout the coun-
try to name the crematorum FOR the first
person cremated. and it is said to be
likely that the local institution Will ac-
quire the title of the Fox Crematorium -
This crematorium has been completed
FOR more than Il week but the delay in
testing the furnaces was due to the fact
that the officials We're unable to get a
body to use in making the test II was
only after the coroner and the health
officer We're acquainted with this fact by
the Commissioners that the bodies were
forthcoming.
According 10 Inspector Ashford. one
hour and forty minutes We're consumed in
crematng the body of Fox and one hour
and fifty minutes in consuming that of
the colored man. The contract only called
Tor two hours. The ashes OF the bodies
were placed in small boxes and will be
kept in Il special room in the building
for a certain length of time. with the eN-
pectation that the relatives of the de-
ceased may call for their ashes some time
in the future.
