Contractor Who Bought Jewish
Cemetery Wants to Make
Use of Land.

Philadelphia. Pa, January 22.-FIor-
ace P. Moore, contractor, of Mar
berth. has created considerable excite
ment among the Jewish charitable or
CARNATIONS OF Philadelphia by threat
ening to disinter and burn more than
5000 bodies buried in the abandoned
r-Hasetim Cemetery.
The cemetery property was part of q
large tract of land sold at sheriffs
sale year ago last December and
hands, finally came into possession Of
Moore The contractor gives as the
reason for his threat the apparent in
difference of the representatives of the
Jewish societies, who have made no
effort to either remove the bodies or to
buy back the plot.
The Har-Hasetim Cemetery was a
charitable burial ground. and most of
the Jewish organizations We're stock
holders in the company running ita
affairs. In 1890 the Har- Hasetim Gene
terry Association purchased twenty
acres for its purposes.
Only a small payment was made al
the time. the rest being covered by q
mortgage The management of the
association was not successful. and in
December, 1912. the whole property wks
sold at a sherif's sale Two acres of
the burial plots were released from the
sale. but only 800 bodies were buried
on this part. while the great majority
was included in the land sold The
property was bought at the time by
Horace Dormon. Philadelphia attor-
ney.
Dormon got in touch with the Jewish
societies and asked them what they
intended to do in regard 20 the bodies
