in July, 1868, A. G. Curtin, the Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, took the initia-
tive in the establishment of the ceme-
terry. The initial expense was shared
according to their representation in
Congress, by the States having troops
in the battle. The cemetery was man
aged by board of trustees until 1872
when all right and title were trans
ferred to the Government of the
United States. According to a report
in the judge advocate generals office
no Confederate graves are at Gettys-
burg, for early in the l87Os the Memo
rial Associations Of the Southern
States had all remains of Confederate
soldiers removed. North Carolina SOL
diers were taken to Raleigh, those
from South Carolina to Magnolia
Cemetery in Charleston and those
from Georgia to Laurel Grove Gene

all other Southern States were re-
moved to the Hollywood Cemetery in

which frequently entertained Gen.
Washington on his visits to Annapo-

changed, theater having been built
in a part Of it, but the old ball room
in which Washington often danced
Is intact. Washington occupied Room

to Annapolis for the purpose of re-
signing his military commission.
Only a few Of the structures of
Annapolis around which cluster the
memories Of the early days and which
keep the present in touch with the
great days Of the past have been
mentioned, but there are many other
reminders of the days when Annapo-
lis was the Athens of America" and
had a commerce which brought IA
vessels of different foreign countries
In its harbor at one time
There is, for instance, the Ogle
House, with its fine garden, on the
corner of King George street and
College avenue, formerly Tabernacle
street. 1t was occupied by Samuel
Ogle, Colonial Governor of Maryland,
for three different periods, and was
also occupied at one time by Gov.
Pratt.
An ancient wall of brick still runs
from Prince George street to King
George street, dividing the block
which in the old days was owned
entirely by the Ogle and Chase es-
tates, the wall forming the boundary.
Further down Prince George street
and just opposite the Paca House, now
Carvel Hall, is the dwelling owned by
Thomas Jennings, the barrister, and
later by the Iglehart family. On the
other side Of the street, and abutting
on the Paca House, is another house,
one Of the largest of the Colonial
dwellings Of Annapolis, which was
built by the same Thomas Jennings.
On the same street are two smaller
buildings Of much interest. One Is the

require that the cars and ships in
which the apples are carried be refrig-
Grated, according to the Bureau Of
Plant Industry.
After rather exhaustive research,
the bureau determined that refrigera-
ton in cars alone is insufficient to
bring the crop to European ports free
of rot and decay. This is particularly
the case in early Fall shipments.
Apples properly refrigerated be-

1919 and those of the Civil War, are
buried in the Chalmette Cemetery,
near New Orleans.
The two smallest cemeteries each
contain less than half an acre. The
one at Leesburg, Va, has 81 inter-
ments, only one of which is known"
The other. at Quincy. Ill. with its
first burial made in 1861, was owned
by the wartime Governor Of the State,
John Wood, who gave the land to the
United States in 1870.
Although far removed from the
scene of actual conflict during the
Civil War. the National Cemetery at
Rock Island, ILL.,, on the Military
Reservation on the Mississippi River,
contains the graves of many Confed-
crate prisoners Of war. On the wind
swept plains of Montana the graves
Of those soldiers who lost their lives
in Clusters Last Stand are in q small
cemetery on the 640-acre Military
Reservation at Grow Agency.
Probably there have been more
changes in the status of the cemetery
at Santa Fe, N. Mex, than in any
other. In 1875 general order ranked
it as national cemetery: in 1875
another order removed it from this
classification and Is years later a
third order reinstated it in the ma
tional cemetery class, where it has
since remained.
The small graveyards where two
former Presidents of the United States
were buried have since 1900 been
listed at national cemeteries. The
descendants of Andrew jackson do
mated to the Government the grave
yard site at Greenville, Tenn. where
he was buried. The Zachary Taylor
National Cemetery in jefferson
County, KY, is the burial place of
President Taylor and his wife.
THE Oily naulonal cemetery in
which no burials have yet been
made is the 81 acre site of the Battle
Of Perryville, KY.
The 81 national cemeteries were
under the supervision of the War De-
partment until the Summer of 1888,
when II battlefield cemeteries were
transferred to the Department of the
Interior. OF these, Shiloh, where the
3,649 interments represent 203 regi-

The advent of DR.. Curtis gave a
new impetus to the playground pro-
gram and progress from that time on
was more rapid. In fact, during the
first year of his leadership many
events took place in Washington which
we're of importance not only to the
District of Columbia, but to the coun-
try at large.
In April of 1906 delegates from all
parts of the United States met in
Washington at the invitation of Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt and formed
the Playground Association of Amer
lea, active during the World War
through its War Camp Community
Service, and now known as the Ma
tional Recreation Association.
At that first meeting plan for
recreation in the Capital City was
drawn up. It contemplated an ideal
OF not less than 80 square feet for
each pupil in connection with schools,
Fairgrounds of not less than two acres
for each school district, and an ath-
letic field for each section Of the city.
In December the Public Fairgrounds
Committee organized the Washington
Playground Association with Cuno
Rudolph as its first president. That
year the Playground Association of
America presented Garfield Park
Playground with ideal equipment,
hoping that it might serve as model
for Fairgrounds throughout the coun-
try. incidentally some of this equip
ment still Is in good condition and
is being used on the Fairgrounds
today.
In that year, too, Congress appro-
priated $4,000 for maintenance, SUI
pervision and equipment and $4,000
for the acquisition Of new playground
sites, and many Of the Fairgrounds

choreography of the Mine Earnest
Men," will take the part of Chief JUS
tice Hughes. The big moment in
the ballet comes when the minority
gather on one side of the stage and
the majority on the other with the
Chief Justice. trying to make up his
mind, standing, between the groups.
He finally sides with the majority.
Despite his austere exterior, be-
lieve the Chief Justice is the most
human member of the Supreme Court
and the kindest, is Logan's opinion
of the main character in the ballet.
The Chief Justice loves the great
dignity Of the court and all the for
malities that go with it. He is a great
walker, but likes nothing better than
an automobile ride. He carries cane
and wears derby.
That the bailiff who precedes the
justices into the court chamber has
fun with his job is depicted by Marian
Chace. With no solemn personages
watching her, she enters, dusts the
imaginary chairs Of the justices, with
an extra pat for the chair of the
Chief Justice, then scampers to the
side awaiting the entrances Of the
revered tribunal. Only for a moment,
as they come slowly in, does she as
sumo great dignity. Then with one
little flourish she leaves the Supreme
Court Of the land in all its revered
glory.

MURDER RING IN

Springfield, Mass. Aug. i4-(UP) An inquest into the death ot a Ludlow factory worker disclosed that he was murdered to collect insur- ance, District Judge George B. Haas reported today In his investigation of possible western Massachusetts killer ring.
 The victim, Frank Krol, carried $i2,OOO insurance. He died May 20 after a fall down stairs. Arsenic ale legedly was found in his body.
 In his report to superior court and District Attorney Thomas F. Mo- riarty, Judge Haas found that 'it must be concluded that Krol was murdered by a person or persons un- known for the avowed purpose of making available Q sum or sums of money from insurance policies writ ten on his life and payable at his death to his beneficiaries."
 After careful consideration of the evidence" the report read, there can be no question but the malig- nant hand that reached out silently and unseen to administer the poi- sonous solution to Krol was moti- vated by e deliberate desire to kill. Fantastic as 1t may seem, this inc visible curse stealthily and cunning ly planned murder and then like viper struck It's victim with It's fangs, injecting the poison [. slowly brought on escapable agony and tragic death"
