HISTORIC BURIAL

Skeletons, Torn From Coftins,
Left in PiIes-Thought That

Washington. Sept. 30.-What Is it

historic old Patterson estate is seek

sure that caused him to smash open
the family burial vault. tear from their
places stone slabs weighing nearly two
tons, rip open coffins and scatter the
ashes of the dead about the floor? Is
there some missing document relating
to the valuable property which caused
him to ransack the deserted house from
garret to cellar?
Never before have the police of
Washington been confronted with a
crime in any way resembling this. The
police and detective force have thus
far been unable to find the slightest
clue. All they know is that for five
weeks he has persistently haunted the
ancient manor, ever seeking something

Place Thouqht to Be Haunted.
Eight coffins. the last of which was
paced IN the tomb flaif century ago,
were broken open. Skulls and bones
OF relatives Of the Patterson family
were thrown about the damp room as
though the vandal in his search had
reached frenzy of anger.
The Patterson estate is one of the

land grant having been made to Hiram
Patterson before Washington was Sc

The ancestral home. now fallen into
decay, is situated in an isolated spot,
surrounded by dense woods. The gar

arbors still remain, is overrun with
weeds. and the raised plot of ground
surrounding the family vault is a tam

edges the estate has the reputation of

of lights seen flickering amid the trees
and of calling voices. Many of the
negroes cannot be tempted to put foot
on the place after nightfall. 1t is this
which convinces the detectives that the

BRITISH DRIVE ON
8ACDAD SUCCEEDS
Notable Victory in Mesopota-
mia, Back Door to Constan-
tinopIe, Reported Turks
Are in Full Retreat.

London. Sept. S0.--Thc British have
Won an important success in Mesopo-
iamia. The Turks are in full retreat to-
ward Bagdad.
Tie British are pursuing the retreat
ing Turks.
Announcement to this effect was
made in the house of cominons today
by Austin Chamberlain. secretary of
state for India.
Official records of the campaign in
Mesopotanlia have been bare of details.
The last official statements conveyed
the inference that the fighting on this
front was comparatively unimportant.
1t Is not improbable that a new expedi-
tionalW force has been sent in by the
British. Reports during the last few
weeks have shown that large bodies of
Italian and British troops We're being
forwarded towards Turkey. but it wns
generally assumed that these forces
would be employed on the Gallipo!i
front or in Syria.
For some time the British and Turks
have been fighting near the junction of
the Tigris and lcuphratcs rivers which
is about $50 miles from Bagdad.

WELL SATISFIED
WITH TERMS OF BIG LOAN

London. Sept. 29.-The definite an
nouncement of the terms on which the
Anglo French loan is to be issued in
the United States was about in line
with the expectations of British
financiers. Though the yield is shade
higher than had been looked for or
Iginally in some quarters, the general
opinion is that heroic measures We're
necessary to remove the deadlock in
exchange transactions which had been
allowed to continue for SO long.
1t is felt here that the advantage
rests with America in obtaining such
good rate of interest and facilities for
its export trade although England all
so reaps benefit by the postponement
for at least five years of payment of
the debit for goods received.
