thew have sought information as to the
place of interment of several live senators
Senators Bacon of Georgia and McCum-

The story has leaked out, because Sec
rotary of State Cook of Georgia received
a printed circular asking for information
about Senator Bacon, and among the
questions was "Where interred? That
was a point upon which the secretary OF
state had no definite information. and so
he referred the query to Senator Bacon
himself. Mr.. Bacon is very much alive,
having shown it by recently fighting the
Commissioners efforts to change the
name of the street upon which he lives In
Washington.
The Biographical Congressional Direc-
tory is intended to give an outline or the
life of every man who has ever served In
Congress. Most of those about whom In
quiries have been made are dead, but
some of the printed forms, asking for
mortuary statistics, among other things,
were Internationally sent out when in
