The winning streak of our good
friend Chief Chiwaki was brought
to an end Wednesday when he wa
defeated by the present champion
OF them all Vincent Lopez.
Lopez devastating elbow smash
proved too much for the hater Of
white men and ne fell before the

According to John ContoS, local
matchmaker, ChiWaki will be seen
here in the near future, when he

The Indian innCVates new
trick for every match and is a
most playful opponent. Recently
he was suspended for trying to
strangle an opponent with a string
of wire that he struggled into the

PLAN PLANE
CHAIN BRIDGE

Although plans will not be
drafted for several months, Col.
Dan I. Sultan, engineer commits
sioner, has announced official de-
cisior to build the new Chain
Bridge "a feet wide, so as to &C
comrnodate two lanes of traffic,
instead of a 36-foot width which
would allow three lanes.
Colonel Sultan said with only
two lanes of traffic, vehicles would
not be permitted to pass on the
span and the arrangement would
tend to decrease traffic hazards.
Congress appropriated $250,000 in
the 1887 fiscal year budget and
promised another $150,000 for the
new bridge, which will replace the
present 63-year-old span.
The new structure will resemble
in general the present bridge. The
span will be raised feet on the
Virginia side and 5 feet on the
District side, Colonel Sultan said,
and the District approach will be
made less abrupt.

LAW GUSTS OLD
CEMETERY

The progress of time and an
act of Congress are removing a
picturesque landmark dating back
over 100 years in Washington'S
history. Old Queens Cemetery, d
2O-by-25-foot ancient burial ground
inclosed by an iron-spired gate
and protruding from Langdon
Elementary School playground at
Twentieth st. and Evart Ave.
N. E., is being excavated this
week to permit use of the ground
as part of the school recreational
area.
Workmen have already re.
moved the bones of six of the
Queen family to Mount Olivet
Cemetery on Bladensburg road.
One of the tombStones suggests
the age of the quaint little in
terment plot. An inscription reads
as follows:
Sacred to the memory of
Hannah A. Queen, cOnSOrt of
1. r. Queen, born December 26,
1912. Died May 20, 1897"
The bodies of only IL persons
all related to the Queen family
are supposed to be buried in the
cemetery. Until the recent death
of one of the descendants, eff
forts to use the land as part of
the Langdon playground we're
frustrated. However, a recent
act of Congress authorized the
use of the ground by the District
as part of the school recreational
center.

Representative Nichols went to

1t is expected that after this meet
ing work will be started immedi-

Despite opposition to it, Gravelly
Point is expected to come in for
serious consideration.
In this connection, the turn in
aviation to larger planes makes it
necessary to have field that can
be expanded and where water is
available in landing of amphib-
