Complaint Is Made
Of District Stable

The presence Of fifty horses, some Of
which are said to be diseased, in the
temporary new District stables. at Four
teenth street and Pennsylvania avenue
southeast, is causing indignation against
the Commissioners among the citizens
Of Southeast Washington
Capt. w. NJ. Potter. chairman Of the
executive committee of the Southeast
Washington Citizens Association,
today said the horses were put
in the ''makshift tables early
yesterday morning before JUS
tice Stafford. of the District
Supreme Court. granted temporary in
junction against the Commissioners, en-
joining them from establishing stables
at the new site.
These horses are said TO be sick and
already show what a menace such
stables, If made permanent, will be to
the health of our citizens" said Capt.
Potter this morning. He declares the
stables are without drainage facilities
Monday l will petition the Commits
stoners TO Immediately remove the
horses. following the spirit of Justice
Stafford's injunction order said Cap
tain Potter today.
east Washington Citizens Association
will meet to continue its campaign
against location of the District stables
at the proposed new site by the Com
missioners. The association has already
passed resolutions of protest against re-
moval of the stables to that section of
the city.
Andrew Wilson. attorney for the pro-
testing citizens, is confident of gaining
a permanent injunction against the
Commissioners in the case, and forcing
the use of appropriations for new
stables at the present old site, near
Tenth and o streets northwest.

JOE MORRIS Wins
. AT LATON|A. GREAT
Joy At CAPITOL
Horse That Was Named
After Well-Known Ken
tuckian, Scores Victory.

They were looking for Joe Morris at
the Capitol today. They wanted to
cheer him as he crossed the Capitol
grounds. to wiring his hand, to call his
name aloud, to carry him upon their
shoulders.
So they sought him up and down the
long, long corridors of the House Office
building, and in the many turns and
corners, and Hobbies of the Capitol, and
finally with large presence of mind IN
- office of Representative J. A. Cam
trill, of the Seventh Kentucky, for whom
Morris is secretary. But Joe Morris
was in Kentucky. Then they wondered,
and smiled.

For Joe Morris must have seen his
namesake lead from start to finish, new

with his own long length to spare, in

OF thousands roaring, Go on, You Joe

Joe Morris Has Won Before.
When that horse was named for him,
everybody said he would be a winner.

he was at the Capitol.

FIRST LANDMARK"
LOST HALF CENTURY,
IS FOUND IN VIRGINIA
District Boundary Stone at
ZONES Point Is Under
SeaWall.

Following a careful study of old
records, old newspapers, and old ira
d,-ions. Fred Z. Woodward, who has
located other District boundary
stones, has now found the lost cor
ner stone, the first landmark" on
Jones Point. This is the stone at the
southernmost corner Of the District
as ceded to the United state; by the
States OF Maryland and Virginia. and
Is located on the Virginia side CT the
river in the half of the District re-
coded to the State in later time.
This stone, II has always been known,
was located at Jones Point, on the
shore of Hunting Creek, below Alexf<.-
dria. This location was known in a
eneral way not only from President
Washington's directions to the survey
which Mr.. Woodward has found includ-
ing one in the Massachusetts Spy,
written from Alexandria, Friday, June
Is, 1891 the date upon which the stone
was placed. The article describes the
ceremonies incident to the setting or
the stone.
Mr., Woodward S. researches would have
been unnecessary If in 1855 the Govern
ment had not built a lighthouse upon
the point within fifteen feet OF the
a seawall which extended over and up
on the top of the stone, hiding 1t from
view.
Hidden Many Years.
There for more than fifty years."
says Mr.. Woodward, no one has seen
this earliest landmark, an object wor-
thy our highest esteem and admiration.
This stone, still landing, though hid
den from view, being under the gate
way. in front of the south door of the
Mr.. Woodward learned from the En-
gineer Corps Of the War Department
that "a report in that office made by
Mr.. Sinclair in 1884 on the triangulation
of the District, mentions a mark made
on the face of the wall when the stone
was discovered, in 1861, undoubtedly for
the express purpose Of locating the
stone, should this ever become neces-
sary."
This mark now has been found by
Mr. Woodward, and there is no reason
q ole ground for doubling that the stone
lies Immediately beneath the mark.
From the data at hand" says Mr..
Woodward, 1T is almost certain that
the stone can be located about two feet
and six inches below the top of the sea
wall and not more than seven to twelve
inches back from the face Of wall"
Excavation Is Urged.
Mr.. Woodward would like to see the
Government authorize an excavation
which shall exhibit to the sight this
venerable and noteworthy relic of an
earlier day.
1t will take, he says, but a small
amount of money, and not much more
would be necessary to protect the stone.
Such protection he argues might be
secured by making a cement or mason
ry niche in the present wall, protecting
It in front by iron bars or gratings. or
the stone itself might be raised so as
to bring It up to the level Of the top of
the wall"
It Is the discovery in Engineer Corps
records by Mr.. Woodward of the note
made by Mr.. Sinclair in 1884 that gives
the real clue to the location Of the stone.

British Troops March
Again at Bunker Hill

BOSTON, Mass, June 1.-THE steady
tread of British troops was heard IN
the vicinity of Bunker Hill today as on
that memorable day 1876 years ago, when
the first important conflict of the Amer
lean Revolution took place. Today, how
ever, the Americans were not fortified
on the crest of the hill ready to fire
when you see the whites Of their eyes"
The Americans were on hand this time
IN vastly superior numbers, and they
gave the British soldiers a warm recep-
ton, for the latter were the st. John
Fusileers, of st. John, n. B., who had
come down on a fraternal visit to help
In the celebration of Massachusetts
Fourth OF July. The celebration CEN
tered in Cnarlestown, where the British
troops marched in parade with the Mas
sachusetts militia and sailors from the
American warships at the navy yard.
