| The story of Davy Burnes' farm
was told with new detail last night
at the Columbia Historical Society
meeting in the Hotel Mayfiower
The publications of the society
have many papers on Davy Burnes.
He interests the local historians
because he owned the best tract
of land here when President Wash
ington started to establish the Fed
eral City.
But Mrs. Ethel M. B. Morganston,
a descendant of Davy's brother
James, by dint of unrelenting re-
search In the Office of the Recorder
of Deeds and other sources, has
produced paper with the best de-
scription to date of the Burnes'
property. She read it last night.
Davy Burnes owned SGT acres, a
tract which today is the site of
nearly all business and official
Washington except the Capitol and
the Washington Monument. The
Burnes farm contains the F
street shopping section, Court
house Square, the National Gallery
of Art. the Federal Triangle, the
Treasury, the White House, the old
State Department and the Interior
Building-property worth about q
billion dollars today.
Davy died in 1899, leaving a widow
and a daughter, Marcia. Marcia was
reputed to be the richest heiress
in the United States. A new Repre-
sentative arrived here in 1902. He
was John Peter Van Ness of Kinder
hook, N. Y, son of a wealthy father.
John Van Ness married Marcia in
May of that year.
In 1915 they built a big house near
Davy Burnes' cottage, which was on
the banks of the Tiber, where the
Pan American Union now stands.
John Van Ness entertained we'll.
Marcia's property, including L.
100000 square feet of the old farm,
was listed by Mrs. Morganston, who
estimated that even in that day 1t
was worth $1.500,000. Marcia died
in 1882. Her husband, a general in
the District Militia and a bank
president. was administrator of his
wife's estate and the estates of her
parents. He lived on until 1846.
At the end of her paper, Mrs. Nor
ganston called on the other descend
ants of James Burnes in the audience
to rise. There were seven of them

Fever Carried By,
Mouse Mite
Discovered By
Gotham Doctors

NEW YORK-A new fever, dis
covered in New York City, spread
by mice and resembling typhus,
smallpox and chicken pox' is de-
scribed in Mondays June issue of
the American Journal of Medicine.
This disease, called rickettsial
pox, is not fatal, but it makes peo-
pie mighty sick for a few days
with fevers that may run up to
104. e
Dr. Morris Greenberg, who de-
scribes the discovery, says the dis
ease probably is old, but that it
has not been recognized before. 1t
is spread by tiny mites on house
and field mice.
These mites have been found on
mice in Egypt, the District of Co.
lumbia, Philadelphia, indianapolis,
Boston and Tucson, Ariz. Mice
may have been everywhere. Up to
now scientists haven't been in
terested in hunting because no evil
was known of the mites.
The fever was first detected in
Queens. one of the New York
boroughs on Long Island, in 1916.
There an epidemic hit a small area
of 90 three-stried buildings. They
housed 1900 and in them six per
CENT of the adults and five per
cent of the children had the pc
culiar fever.
DR.. Greenberg said the disease
probably was imported into Queens
but where from is unknown.
Last year the fever was found
again in four New York City
boroughs, but there were fever
cases.
DR.. Greenberg said Rickettsial
pox bears a resemblance to sew
eral othe rdiseases. These he list
