The Olive Cemetery for Negroes. at
Forty seventh street and Girard ave-
nue., crown over by weeds. the tomb
stones uprooted and the iron fences
rusted and broken by the elements, may
become the site OF modern residences.
why hasn't something been done
before this?" the passerby familiar with
the old burying- ground asks.
The reason is given by Roland Foulke.
attorney for the stephen Smith estate,
owners Of the cemetery.
Seventy years ago a dispute arose
over land title between the Stephen
Smith estate and Ida Gibbs Hunt.
owner Of adjoining property. Last
March Judge McCulen settled the suit
in favor of the Smith estate.
The other side has time in which to
appeal. If this is not done the execu-
tors for the Smith estate probably will
begin arranging for the disinterment Of
the bodies now in the cemetery and their
reinterment elsewhere.
The Olive Cemetry. covering more
than ten acres. is bounded by Forty
fourth street. Girard avenue, Forty
seventh street and Wyalusing avenue.
Eight years ago the Board Of Health
forbade further intermcnts. and since
then weeds have rampantly cntwined
themselves about the discolored tomb
stones, some dating as far back as
1858.
"If the suit is settled without ap-
peal" Mr.. Foulke said. 1--WE may be
able to put the old cemetery in fairly
good condition again. If an appeal is
made. ten or fifteen years may elapse
before final decision"

to show that the citizens of Philadelphia

Mr.. Brooks said the local authorities
had been following the movements of
the Nomad for several weeks. and had
been informed when she cleared from
the Bahama Islands with her cargo of
$50 cases of liquor. 1t was planned,
according to Brooks. to land the stuff
near Philadelphia prior to the holi-
days.

til she reached Cooper's Crcak, escaped
along with the disappearance of most
