HOLIDAY HOUSE
A VER|TAbLE
PARADISE
Girls Friendly Camp ap Ideal
Place to Spend Summer
Vacation.
BY GEORGE FRANKLIN.

Swept by breezes ladened with the
aroma of freshly plowed fields or
fragrant with the perfumes of wild
cherry, it's glistening white bunga-
lows shining brightly in the shadows
of overlapping naples and walnuts,
it's lawns brilliantly pointed off with
poppy beds and rose bushes, ''Holi-
day House," the camp unit owned
and operated by the Girls Friendly
Society, diocese Of Washington,
presented an animated scene Of ju-
venile activities today.
From its site commanding one OF
the most beautiful views Of the Po-
tomac river, some 200 feet above it's
expansive level, the youngsters
looked across the hills of Maryland,
some five miles distant, and told
each other enchanting tales of

and the Indian canoe was the mis-
tress Of the inland seas below.
Thirty-five children. ranging in
age from six to fourteen years, com
prise the camping party being enter
tanned at Holiday House. They are
girls. joyous in the delight of being
free in the country, happy in the
novelty of their surroundings, with
their imaginations keenly anticipa-
tive of what Is "yet to come"
Lots of Action.
Their days in camp are a con.
tinual diversity of activities. They
go hiking, berrying, swing in ham
mocks stretched beneath sturdy
trees, play at all of the games dear
to the heart Of a little girl, are
free to roam where fancy directs
just so they observe the simple
rules of the camp-unrestrained by
fears Of running their frocks, it is
for them, in every sense, holiday
Do they want to go home.
Not until the very last minute of
their stay has been spent. Then
they begin counting the months and
the weeks before they can return
to renew their experiences. They
have been at the camp one of the
two weeks assigned them. A whole
week yet remains before the day
when they must leave to make
room for another detachment Of
children which will take their place
in the camp for a fortnight. When
the latter have gone back to the
city there comes the turn of the
older girls and from thence until
December / the camp will be in
operation.

Cupid Turns To June
Again AS Favorite
Wedding Month

June maintained it's fame as
being Cupid's favorite month of
the year for leading matrimonial
candidates to the altar, accord
ing to Colonel Knoll, the mar
riage license clerk of the Dis
trict Supreme Court, who during
this month issued a total of 1872
marriage licenses.
The number of licenses issued
during this month exceeded
June of 1922 when 719 licenses
were issued. The records of
previous Junes show 749 in 1921,
500 in 1920, 686 in 1918 and 644
in 1917. The month of June has

694 licenses were given out, to
644 for June and December,
1919, when 1913 permits were
granted, as to TIA in June.

BEACH WAS
DUMP FOR
BABIES
Sheriff Exonerated by Jury in
Arlington for informal Dis
position Of Body.

Finding of bodies of dead
babies is a common occurrence
at Jazz Beach and unworthy of,
the dignity of Investigations.
Jury Clears Sheriff.
This attitude was taken by mem
bers of coroner's jury which met
last night in Arlington county court
house to consider the case Of the
latest Jazz Beach corpse, which was
found May 1 and unceremoniously
hustled under the sod by Sheriff
A. c. Clements.
In generating Sheriff Clements.
the jury came to the following con-
clusion: mo evidence of crime
committed in connection with the
child's death, affirming it to have
been of premature BIRTH"
Cites Four Similar Cases.
Immediately after the finding Of
the Jury had been announced Sheriff
Clements dramatically told his
friends that he had recently taken
care of four baby cases in the same
way and that this latest one was
only brought up to injure him in his
campaign for reelection as sheriff
against a field of four rivals for the
position.
Throughout the trial, Jazz
Beach, which is a lonely section or
the country about five miles from
Alexandria and a rather notorious
rendezvous. was pictured as bury
ing ground for the illegitimately
born of Washington and nearby
places in Virginia.
Dug Grave With Stick.
In describing mis- part in the af-
fair Sheriff Clements told the jury
that he had been called to the
spot early last month by Alexander
Carter, who foun0 the infants body
lying near the roadway. He said
that in his opinion the baby was
still-born; that it was not an un-
usual thing to find such infants,
and that he did not think 1t neces-
sary to make any report of the in
cident He added that he thought
he was doing the humane thing"
when he procured a stick, followed
out a small hole and placed the
body in it.
AlSAdnuSF NdTL0T, the LlTSL VIII
ness, told Of finding the infants
body as he was on his way home
from work in the evening. His
story differed from that Of the
sheriff, in that he said he believed
the infant to have been at least a
few weeks old. He described a cut
on the neck Of the child which he
declared to be one and one-half
inches in length.
Clements Claims "Frame.Up."
Howard Smoot, of Ballston, Va,
game warden and special police
officer Of the county, organized the
party that went to the scene of the
burial Thursday night. 1t was
Shoots expedition to the little
grave that the sheriff thinks was
carried out to frame him."
The large courtroom last night
was well filled with spectators, to
whom the sheriff turned and ap-
pealed that they might read be-
tween the lines Of this investigation
and see in it the political game
which it is"

John Wright Alleged to Have
Died MysteriousIy After
Island Visit.

Convinced that Eppa G. Reed,
thirty--five-year-old arpe n ter.
whose body was recovered from
the Potomac river June 10 did
not die by drowning, Maryland
and Virginia authorities are today
considering the exhuming of the
body of John Wright, a struc-
tural worker on the exclusive
Congressional Club, who was "ac-
cidentally drowned" on June %,
exactly one week after Reed met
his death.
Two Held in Jail.
Two men, James Rollins, en-
ployed at Trammels Landing, Great

thing they know of the death Of
Reed, State Attorney Thomas L.
Dawson declares.
Rum pirates, who are known to
populate the islands in the Potomac
around Great Falls, are thought to
be- responsible both for Reed and
Wright's deaths despite the fact
that both of them had been buried
after conclusions of accidental
drowning had been reached.

Death Was Mysterious.
Wright's death was as mysterious,
or more SO, than that of Reed. Last
Monday, his friends say, he went
over to one of the alleged rum

said that he was with a party of
friends.
According to the story told the
authorities, Wright was sitting on
