The bureau of American ethnology | of the Smithsonian Institution will investigate in a few days what may prove two of the most important dis- coveries vet made of relics of the Indian tribes who roamed over the| site of Washington at the time when | the first white men visited thig sec- tion Both discoveries as reported to Dr. J. Walter Fewkes, director of the| bureau, were accidental. The first was made by Robert Baker. a farmer near Strassburg, Va., while ploughing a high field near Shady Creek. He uncovered seven skeletons. At first he did not attach especial significance to this because the fleld was near the battleground of Cedar Creek, in the civil war, and itw as assumed that the skeletons were those of slain soldiers. A famous Indian battle, however, was fought on nearly the same site, and further investigations showed that the bodies had been buried with ceremonies typical of the early Indian tribes. Food Jars at Head. Each body had been drawn up in a cramped position and thrust into the grave. Beside each skull was a jar. elaborately decorated with primcvai religious symbols, which once had been filled with food to sustain the ghost in his cold passage between two worlds. Beside the remains of one skeleton, the bones of which indicate that it was that of an aged warrior, was the skeleton of a dog, evidently a favorite hunter buried with his master. The graves were in a zig zag Dosi- tion in relation to each other. All gram at 8:15 o'clock with a carefully selected group of popular numbers. The Baltimore and Ohio Glee Club of Baltimore will be the outstand. ing feature of the evening. This or- ganization is composed of forty-five men, under the direction of Hobart Smock. The Glee Club is one of the finest choral organizations in the south and its appearance at Eastern High School should be of particular | interest to the musicians and musie lovers of the Capital ‘city. Two Vocal Soloists. The vocal soloists of the evening will be Ethel Holtzclaw Gawler, so- prano, and Harlan Randall, baritone. Anton Kaspar, the well known Washington violinist, and Rosemary Finckel, talented child concert pian- ist, wiil furnish the instrumental classics. The accompanists of the evening will be George Wilson and Dorothy Wallauer. " An unexpected permanent engage- ment will prevent Dawson and Doyle, banjoists, from appearing tonight as scheduled, and their places on. the program will be filled by Robert, jr.. and Willis Lawrence, with their vio- lin and ukulele music. S The community singing will, as usual, be directed by Mr. Lawrence, assisted at the piano by Helen Burk- art. X There will be 1,400 seats free to the public and 200 seats reserved for members of the association. Chil- dren under four years of age will not be admitted and all other children must be accompanied by adults and sit with them throughout the concert. Doors open at 7 o'clock. e Col. J. A. Woodruff Transferred. | Col. James A. Woodruff, Corps of Engineers, has been relieved from duty at Fort Humphreys, Va., and de- tailed as a_member of the General Staff Corps for duty as chief of staft of the Panama Canal military de- partment. His orders provide that he sail from New York September 4 for the Panama Canal Zone. Light on History hodies were buried with the fect south. Pipes, arrow heads and typical Indian_ornaments also were ploughed up. Baker called the atten- tion of local specialists in Indian lore to this find and these notified Dr. Fewkes Washed Up by Flood. The second find was much larger and will be investigated first. The recent flood waters of the Shenandoah un- earthed what is believed to have been an old Indian cemetery on the farm of Felix McManus, a retired Washing- ton newspaper man, near Berryville. Arrow heads and a tomahawk were picked up. The center grave, around which the others seemed to be group- ed, contained one skeleton measuring seven and a half feet Dr. Fewkes has assigned a man to make a preliminary survey of both graveyards and to send some of the skeletal remains to Washington. If the results justify he then may go to Berryville and Strassburg himself and superintend more extensive excava- tions. Were Probably Powhatans. Dr. Fewkes indicated that the skele. tons, if they really were those of early Indians instead of whites, prob- ably were Powhatans, the tribe which the white men found in possession of this section at_the time of the James- town colony. This tribe Wwas among the most picturesque and advanced of all the North American Indians. Several years ago an extensive study was madé of them and some of the most beautiful legends of primeval America_were uncovered by the late James Mooney, at the time of his death the world's greatest expert on Virginia Indians. Since that time, however, there have been no skeletai finds of sufficient importance to war- rant extensive excavations. CAMPAIGN TO PROTECT DOGWOOD WINS PRAISE Maryland Wildflower Preservation | Groups Declare Capital Drive Is Success. the ot Expressing the opinion that flower- ; ing dogwood in nearby Maryland had been noticeably preserved this year from the vandalism which for several seasons past has destroved a latge part of the blooms, several resolutions have been received by the Wildflower Preservation Society here from granges in Maryland. . The resolutions carry the apprecia- tion of thé various granges for the campaign carried on here- this year state that, in their opinion, the cam- state that in their opinion, the cam- paign was a success 4 Notice has also gone out through the channels of information of the Wild- flower Preservation Society to other communities to relate the story of how the dogwood in the vicinity of Washington was saved this vear. Delegates to the national convention of .the society expect also to report on the results of activity here. In the fall, it is the hope of those who have been behind the dogwood campaign to urge the public not to use holly and ground pine for decora- tions, but to use substitutes instead. .

Prince Rupert Island, to Be Deported. Stafford Fustace Severn, thirty four, alleged dope and rum runner from New York, arrested in this city in July, 1922, by Detectives Sanders and Evans of the narcotic squad, and released on $3,000 bonds, is under ar- rest at Ocean Falls, Rupert 1sland, Brit: Columbia, ng been taken into custody last Frid: as a result of efforts made by Joseph A Torillo, bondsman. Officials of the burcau of immigration took up the investigation and learned that the prisoner could not be surrendered un- der the terms of the treaty, but as an undesirable citizen he could be de- ported, and it was decided to deport him next Friday. Detective Bernard W. Thompson left here last night on a trip to Van- couver, B. C., where the prisoner is expected to be formally surrendered to him as an agent of the bureau of immigratién. Bondsman Torillo al- ready has spent approximately $2,000 in his efforts to accomplish the recap- | ture of the man who was released on the bond he furnished and which he umped, and it is probable that he will | spend much more than the amount of the bond before Severn is lodged in the District jail. o b & McADOO CONFERS HERE.

Cavanaugh's statement was that he was held up near 4'; and C streets southwest by three colored men, one holding him_ and the others taking his money.
