the gas company will yield to the con-

GRAVEYARD IN WAY
Historic Burying Ground
Blocks District Work.
PUZZLES ENGINEER HAZEN
Establishment of Municipal Brick
Making Plant at Occoquan Tenn
porarily Held Up.

The presence Of a historic old family
burying ground on the woEkhouse reser-
walton at Occoquan has stopped the DIS
trict's work on the location Of one OF
Commissioner Judson's projects, namely,
a municipal brick-making plant: has also
started a search through mass OF old
Virginia titles. and a dozen legal and
technical complications have come to
light. all making a knot which every one
in the District engineering department
calls very tough one.
What to do with a situation involving
a family burying ground. brick yard
and United States reservation controlled
by the Commissioners of the District of
Columbia in a state is question which
adds just one more puzzle to the already
full grown conundrum in regard to legal
jurisdiction over the odd matters which
arise at the Occoquan workhouse.
May Be Private Burying Ground.
The old burying ground may be a pub
lie cemetery. and it may be a plain, old
fashioned family burying ground" such
as every community claimed in the early
days of the colonies NJ. c. Hazen, sur
veyor for the District, is starting today
to look into the title 10 tne Iltie piol dhu
to find out whether there are any
trustees for the property.
The plot is at the waters edge near
the temporary prison camp site at &c
coquan. Superintendent Whitaker calls
it an ideal spot for brick yard. as 1t
has the advantage Of being so close to
the water that bricks could be loaded
on scows with very little work. 1t is
part of the land the United States court
condemned.
Preparations for removing the graves
were being planned at OccOquan and the
matter of trustees was being looked up,
couuan and an employee Of the workhouse,
went to Mr.. Whitaker
Question UP to Commissioners.
Look here" he said. "you cannot dis
turb those graves. Every one around
here has an interest in that graveyard
and l have ancestors buried there
That put new light on the matter. Mr..
Whitaker Immediately took the question
up with the Commissioners. He went to
the District building this morning to have
a conference with Capt. Markham, as
sistant engineer commissioner, and Sur
veyOr HaZen.
Il want to lay the whole situation be-
what to do with this old graveyard" he
said. Il had told Mr.. Hamil that the
United States had condemned all that
land and l had supposed that the graves
could be removed. Capt. Markham told
me today that the graves would remain
until the knotty legal problems had been
solved"

WAR DEPARTMENT PLEASED
Exploits of Harry Hardness, in De-

Phillip Parmlee Of the Wright team has
been selected by the War Department to
instruct thes amy officers at San An

plane that has been rendered by New
York man Cor scouting on the border.
The arrangement has been made between
John Barry Ryan. commodore of the
United States, Aeronantical Reserve, and

The control OF the new machine is

Lieut.. Foulois was trained at College

of that machine and has the all-important
feel OF the air. be will have to be
trained almost like a novice before he
will have instructive control of the new

ped there at once.
Meantime the air scouts for the main
part Of the border IRE still I'm the ex-
pected test. The W ar Department has
not yet been oficia lily advised of the
adventure of Lieut. b. D. Foulois who
was reported to haNae narrowly escaped
death at San AntonAo when the engine
OF his aeroplane stopped at a height Of
LEGO feet and he barely missed colliding
with the chimney OF the mess kitchen
Success of Hark7 less Pleasing.
The War Department is pleased with
the exploit of Harry Hardness in de-
liverlng dispatches by aeroplane on the
border. Hardness is a prominent member
Of the L. S. Aesonautical Reserve, and
having an aeroplane close to the line,
lent his services to the United States for
scouting and demonstration work with
instructions to avoid international COM
plications.
1t was reported today that he was
liable to change his allegiance. not from
a national, but frobn a service stand
point. He is to do some experimental
work for the navy. John Barry Ryan,
commodore of the aerOnaHtfcal reserve,
came to Washington this morning and
had a long talk with Beeknlan Winthrop.
assistant Secretary of the Navy, telling
him the navy wanted Hardness to do
some wireless work for it. Tt is the plan
Of the naval officers for him to communi
cate with ship and a shore station, and
to relay messages between the two.
though Of course, the distance will be
too short to make relay necessary.
Winthrop Acqui;esces.
Mr. Winthrop sent orders to the wire
less operator at Port Iona. off Los An
geles, to hold himself in readiness to CO.
operate with any wireless experiments
that Hardness and the naval comman-
ders wanted to make.
Alfred Moissant once offered the serv-
ices of his International ayiators to the
War Department for scouting duty on
the border. 1t would have necessitated
his canceling some dates, but it would
have been worth 1t in point of adver-
Using. However. Gen. Wood was afraid
some Of the avators might get captured
by the insurgents, Just to see how 1t felt,
SO the offer was sidestepped with album
dant thanks.
