The student will see in these groups some
very important local names
JAMES BARRY was an Irish merchant and
capitalist whom Thomas Law met in New
York and who was responsible for the former
gentleman coming here, and where he particle
pated in some of Mr.. Laws ventures He was
generous and charitable and upon one occasion
gave the ground, and erected at his own ex-
penSe, a Roman Catholic Church in Southeast
Washington. George Blagden was an early menu

Washington Bridge Co. Nicholas King came to
this country from England in 1896, and served
as city surveyor during that and the following
year He had mind for learning, and became
the librarian Of Washington Library, which he
probably started shortly after he arrived here.
He was undoubtedly Washington's first IL
brarian.
william Brent was relative Of Mayor Robert
Brent. He married the sister of Bishop John
Carroll. who became the head of the Catholic
Church in this country and who was brother

Washington to acquire the Federal territory.
Augustus B. woodward was one of the earliest
investors In Washington real estate However.
the form Of government here did not suit him
and he secured the appointment of judge of the
Territory Of Michigan and it Is said that the
design of the city of Detroit, somewhat along
lines Of Washington, is due to his influence in
the matter.
Samuel Harrison Smith is best known as hav-
ing established the National Intelligencer in this
city IN 1900, and who was responsible for its
early success.
Thomas Peter son of Robert Peter married

The Second Chamber had as its president
Daniel Carroll of Duddngton, the pulling down
of whose house caused the rupture between
President Washington and Maj L'Enfant. A
biographical account of him, published in the
Daily National Intelligencer of May Is, l849,
carries this complimentary reference.
HE made every exertion for the accommodate
ton of the First Congress In Washington by the
erection of numerous buildings. He was an in

thousands of dollars rather than distress them
for his rents. He friend to the poor and

Dr. william Tindal who served as secretary
to the board Of Commissioners for so many
years, and who is still employed at the District

Arlington Building where is located the q. s.

stayed until June 20, 1887 when they moved to
the large lumber warehouse building then
owned by Thomas W. Smith, the well known
lumberman, and now known as 228-32 First

Business High School

GEORGE BEALL inherited his thrift from
his father and did not part with his land
for the town OF Georgetown without vigorous
kick when the price decided was made known
to him, and, indeed, only agreed to accept the
$1241 an acre awarded after that amount had
been set by jury, called for the purpose, and
even then insisted upon doing so with reserva-
tons.
About twenty years ago, the writer wandered
into the old Presbyterian Cemetery which then
occupied portion of the square on the north
side Of Volta street between Thirty-tEird and
Thirty-fourth streets, and which, unfortunately
was soon afterward cleared Of all semblance to
a graveyard and turned into playground by the
District. Among many noted names to be seen
here, he read on a well-preserved slab, the name
of COL George Beall, soldier Of the American
Revolution, and grandson of Ninian Beall,
who patented Beall's Levels. Which even goes

called Bealls Levels, and was inherited by that
astute Scotchman from his father, James
Burnes, for whom it was resurveyed in 1869.
The elder Burnes, however, did not secure a
patent for the land during his lifetime, but left
this Formally to his son, David, who secured a
patent In his own name In 1774. At an earlier
date, in 1903, this tract which consisted Of
225 acres, was patented to Ninian Beall, who
lived at Upper Marlboro.
Col. Ninian Beall was also the patentee of
the tract of land known as the Rock of Dun
barton, and which became a part of the so
acres selected for the site Of Georgetown, when
the original survey was completed in 1852, and
which also included land described as "adja-
cent to the inspection house called George Cor
don's Rolling House" Ninian Beall died in 1717,
and the Rock of Dunbarton was devised to his
SON, George, by the following item in his will:

Eight acres with all the stock thereon both

That son Georges other comforts might be
well taken care of, he also provided in the sue
ceeding item that:
IT do also give and bequeath unto sd son
George Beall his choyce Of one of my Feather
bedds bolster g. Pillow and other furniture
thereunto belonging with two cows & calves
and half my Sheepe from off this Plantation

French Government Film Control
Board by which American distributors
would be obliged to buy one French
film for every three American films
shown here.
A spokesman for the American dis

best thing to do for the time being
was to keep out of France and leave
the French people to their own devices.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-CP)-A
decision on the report Of Chairman
Norris holding that Secretary Mel
lon is holding office Illegally was
deferred today by the senate judi
ciary committee until Monday after
warm discussion.
A close division was apparent,
however, after the sharply worded

holder in the various business en-
terprises was serving in violation
of a 1O0-year-old statute forbid
ding the secretary of the treasury
to be interested in trade or COM
merce.
Norris intends to place his re-
port before the senate as a minor
ity report by the. committee If a
majority refuses to endorse it. This
will put the issue up to the senate.
The committee held that Presl-
dnt Hoover was not required to re-
submit the nomination Of Mr.. Mel
Ion, who continued in the new
cabinet from the Coolidge admins
tration.
The committee also held there
was no case against Mr.. Mellon be-
cause he held some stock in the
Overholt Distilling company before
prohibition went into effect.
