MYSTERY CLEARED AWAY.

Medical Students.

Sheriff Allison and other officers OF
Fairfax county, Va, are today endeav-
oring to learn the identity of the medical

gruesome contents kas cleared yester-

Washington police department that he
had seen two medical students boiling
human bones on the cliff March H.
Speculation was rife concerning the
bones. After an investigation by the
county authorities and Detectives Warren

cided to hold an inquest. But Mr.. Con-
ways information put an end to the mys-
terry and Magistrate Anderson Of Forest

SCHOOL REPORT SOON.
That for 10000 Will Likely Be
Made in Two or Three Weeks.

The annual public school report of the
District for 19Osl9O9 will probably be
issued in two or three weeks. The re-
ports for the years following will, if Con-
gress does not increase the number Of
clerks, be equally delayed. according to
the heads Of the school system.
The cause of the delay is attributed to
the lack OF clerks for compiling the nee
essary statistics of the years report No
trouble. it is said, Is experienced in get
ting the reports Of the officials regarding
changes advocated in the system, and so
forth, but the financial and other parts
of the report for which it is necessary to
collect various data, and expense ac-
counts, take a long while to compile. and
with the vast amount Of correspondence
which must be carried on daily by the
clerks, this work Is necessarily pro-
tracted.
An appropriation for two additional
clerks was asked of the last Congress.
but was not allowed.

Deepening Of Channel Resumed.

Work on the deepening of the river
channel off Alexandria. which was inter-
rupted for several days last week while
the workmen were running new pipe lines
from the hydraulic machine General
Dewey into the baptizing cove near the
Alexandria shipyard. has been resumed.
and now will be pushed as rapidly as
possible to completion.
The contractors for the Alexandria work
are handicapped by the method by which
1t has to be done. Instead Of being able
to use a pump machine on the work and
blow the mud excavated through pipes to
the point to be filled, the scoop dredge
Canton is employed in the excavating, the
material being placed on scows and
taken to the pump machine and dumped,
to be picked up again and blown ashore
through the pipe line. 1t will be several
months before the Alexandria work is
completed.
The dredge Potomac. belonging to the
Maryland Dredging Company Of Balti-
more. is at Lower Cedar point to assist
In the dredging work in progress there
under government contract. From Cedar
point the Potomac will go to Dymers
creek to deepen channels in that water
way.
