About 10 O'Clock he made several
attempts to speak to Mr.. Lear, who
was with him nearly all the time,
and at length he said: II am just

While on this subject 1t may be
interesting to note that Washing
toms remains, as we'll as other men,
bers OF the family, were moved from
the old tomb to the new one on
April l9, 1881, and that six years
later, the remains Of Washington
and Mrs. Washington were moved
from the rear of the new tomb to
the sarcophagi at the front Of the
same.
Years after Washington's body
had been removed from the old
vault to the new one, an account
was published to the effect that
when Washington's coffin was
opened, due to the alcohol being low,
a cheek bone or some other portion
of the face appeared as If decayed.
Tindall Traces Report
However, back in 1920, the late
DR.. William Tindall, to get at the
facts of the controversy that had
never been settled, took up the
matter with the then superintendent
Of Mount Vernon, Harrison H.
Dodge, with the result Of the fol-
lowing letter, which would seem to
show that there was at no time any
alcohol in Washington's coffin:
MOUNT VERNON, Va.
May 8, 1920.
DIR. William Tindall:
MY Dear DR.. Tindall. Possibly I
may be able to throw a bit Of light
on the subject mentioned in the
communication bearing your post
script.
some years ago, remember, one
Of the Washington newspapers pub
lished an account of what happened
at Mount Vernon in 1887, when the
remains of George Washington and
his wife were transferred from the
inner vault Of the tomb and placed
within the marble sarcophagi which
had been provided, and which have
ever since been in plain sight OF
visitors standing before the tomb
entrance.
Boy Recalled Scene
"On that occasion quite a large
party of Senators, members of Con-

Dispute Settled In
Fund-Roising Row

Just as we were going to
press we received word that a
settlement had been made in
the controversy regarding the
distribution of funds raised in
America by the United Jewish
Appeal.
The dispute, which w a S
started by a Committee of
Contributors and which receiv-
ed much unfavorable publicity
in the daily press, was settled
amiably with no appreciable
changes in the general set up.
For a while it was feared
that separate national fund
raising campaigns would result
from the split between the
Committee" and the U. P. A.,
which is the Embarrassing unit
for Palestine needs.
We deeply regret the action
of the Committee" in stirring
up disunity when the utmost
cooperation is needed to assure
the success of this years cam
paign to raise $250,0OO,00O by
American Jewry.
We sincerely trust that the
rift, which we believe was
entirely unnecessary, will not
be repeated.
We feel much better now
about the success of the United
Jewish Appeals current cam
paign.

The revival of the accel-
