14 WOMAN GVIL WAR FIGURE DIES AT 8 Mrs. Annie Chesley Last Sur- « vivor of Fort Meultrie Incident. Mrs. Annie Rebecca Chesley, be- lieved to be the last survivor of those who occupied Fort Moultrie, Charles- ton. S. C.. at the outbreak of the civil war, and a resident of Wash- ington for the past fifty vears, died 2t her home. 2800 13th street north- west, yesterday morning shortly after 6 o'clock. Mrs. Chesley was born at Drum Point, Calvert county, Maryland, July 3. 1537, and was left an orphan, to- gether with her late sister, at the age of three. The two girls were raised by anuncle, Rev. Mathias Harris. a chap- lain of the United States Army. who. was appointed guardian at the time of their parents’ death. Mre. Chesley. then Miss Tolly. was with her uncle at Fort Moultrte at the outbreak of the civil war. As the breach between the north and south became wider. Maj. Ander- &cn, with all the officers and men, slipped out to Fort Sumter in Charles- ton harbor and occupied the strong- hold. leaving Dbehind a corporal's guard and the women members of the post. Saw Fort. Confiscated. Mrs. Chesley witnessed the work of the guard in rendering Fort Moul- irie as ineffective as possible, in- «luding the spiking and destruction of all the guns that could be trained jon_Fort Sumter. When Gov. Pickens of South Caro- lina heard of the confiscation of the harbor fort. he immediately ordered all the women and children of Fort Mouitrie out of the staie. ,They were placed on a boat and sent to Fort Washington on the Potomac, where Miss Tolly met and married John Francis Chesley. Mr. Chesley was born in Georgetown .and was a planter, living in southern Maryland. After a short residence in that section the Chesleys moved to Washington. Mrs. Chesley. when a very young woman, was the owner of several slaves, contract. Word reached her one day that the slaves were being mistreat- ed. and, without demanding an ex- nation from those who were ac- sed of cruelty to tMe. negroes, she herded them together, placed” 'them eboard a boat at Baltimore and ac- companied them to Charleston, S. C. Felt Action Justified. This was in direct violation of her contract, but Mrs. Chesley believed her action in protecting the slaves from further mistreatment was justi- She found places of employment for them at Charleston, where she Derself remained until ‘the order of the South Carolina governor was re- ceived. e Mrs. Chesley survived by four gons, John T..

But the sewage fac- tor has become greater of late, pos- &ibly due to the attachment of the the result that large quantities of cewage are now flowing into the park ered safe to introduce Rl L to the stream than we have been maintaining up to now. ‘It 1s recommended in view of the above that bathing in the waters of Rock Creek Park be prohibited until such time as it is found that it mhy be resumed with safety. The children who bathe there are at a very susceptible age for water-borne dis- ease, and they are continually g ting water into their mouths with their ‘duckings’ and the habit they have of drawing b mouthful of wate: and spraying it around. “T have been in conference with a number of sanitation authorities on this subject. and they all advise that the above course is the only safe one to now recommend. It is thought that parents of the children will ily see that it is their interests that we are protecting, rather than a curtailment of the children’s pleasure. It should be no hardship for the chil dren, as they can have a good time at the tidal basin, where the water is safe, and where no charge is made for children under sixteen yvears.™ STORY OF WOMAN BLOW TO BRYSON (Continued from First Page) He testified that the accused physi- cian called him by telephone on the evening of the shooting. Dr. Bryson told him, witness testified, that his wife had shot herself. Hearse Used as Ambulance. . McClain said that Dr. Bryson did not give him time to change his hearse into an ambulance, the vehicle being used for that combination purpose, but sought his aid to rush the wound- ed woman across the hills to the Huntingdom Hospital. Although Mrs. Helen Kirby. mother of the dead woman, after the coroner’s inquest became hysterical and de- clared that Bryson had admitted to her that he shot Mrs. Haines, there was no official record of this made, since it did not occur in the court- official notice taken of this angle. It is possible. however, that Mrs. Kirby will be summoned to the trial in Sep- tember in an effort to clear up this point. r. Bryson maintains silence regarding the proceedings. William Wallace Chisolm and Harry W. Petriken are representing Dr. Bryson and Samuel L Spiker was as- sociated with State's Attorney Fet- terhoof in the case. Chisolm is a graduate of Central High School, Washington, which.Dr. Bryson also attended. “Dld Not Seem Himself.” Bryson: before leaving fqr Washington this afternoon, declared that she had not expected the release of her son, but that she was glad of the chance to be with him in the courtroom. She did not_mention the tragedy. but seemed much more con- cerned about the physical condition of her son + “He does not seem to.be himself,” she sald. “There is a.faraway look s eyes and he doesn't ‘seem in- terested in anything.” She declared that she held a claim on his future life, which she feit to be just as great as the state's claim. Dr. Bryson was treated at Walter Reed Hospital for shell shock com- plications shortly after the war. Dur- ing the war he distinguished himself in the American expeditionary forces, and was one of the officers of the 42d Rainbow Division. Before the war he was well knowh in Washin ton for his activities with tbe District National Guard. ° Counsel for Dr. Bryson feel that the habeas corpus hearing has served their purpose: Primarily . they ‘brought the action in order to_ tain the strongest points of -the state’s case, Mr. Chisholm declared to- day.

In the hope that an agreement might be reached in the anthracite industry, which would lead to negoti- ations looking toward a settlement of the strike in the bituminous coal industry. 2 small committee of miners and operators representing the hard coal branch met this afternoon witn Secretary Fall at the Interior De- partment. The meeting was originally to have been held this morning, but postponement was . asked by the committee. Another general meet- ing of the entire group of operators and miners representing both branch- es of the coal industry will be heid next Monday, when it is believed President Harding will again address the conference. Secretary Fall said before the con- ference that he had no proposal to make to the conferees, adding that he sat in the conference as a repre- sentative of the government to listen to_the discussion Indications -today were that mem- | bers of the anthraeite group are as| far apart as are the conferees rep- | resenting the bituminous industry, but the hope was expressed unoffi. cially that when the period of speech- making and “bluff" is ended they may get together on some proposal com- ing from the committee.
