B, B e 1, The Association of Oldast Inhabi- tdnts of the District bf Columbia filled three vacancles in its list of jcers, made plans for a patriotic ob- setvancé of the Fourth of July, and debated several historical questions nr the regular monthly mesting in on Engine Gouse, Nineteenth -and slmu last Hight. 4The election was #Ary by the recent GBorge W. Evans, vige president and chronicler organization. &en. Charles H. Ourand was pro- maéed from marshal to_vice ident. n Clagett Procter, who is already n yice president, was given the added ffice of chronicer, and Frank W Dowling was chosen marshl. As chairman of the entertainment committee. Washington Topham an- notnced that on July 4 the associa- tion will hold a brief business session in‘the engine house at 11 o'clock, after which the members will go to the Western Presbyterfan Church. on H stieet near Ninenteenth. for a patri- otic celebration. Mr. Topham said the detafled program would be an- nainced later. n motion of Dr. Benjamin W. Swmmy, the assoclation voted to ap- pojnt a committee of three to prepare resolutions of eulogy Lo the late Com missioner James F. Oyater, who was & member of the Oldest Inhabitants. Col. Fenning Indorsed. fater in the meeting Mr. Topham offered a resolution, which was adopt- ed. thanking President Coolldge for naming a native Washingtonian, Col. Frederick A. Fenning, to succeed Capt. Oyster on the Board of Commis- slaners. Mr. Topham said_the action of the President was a recognition of the desire of the people of the Dis- tritt to have as Commissioners men théroughly familiar with local needs and problems. The committee appointed at the last meeting to draft appropriate resolu- tions in recognition of the long serv- icé rendered to the association by the late Capt. Evans submitted its report which read in part as follows: ‘‘Resolved, That in the death of Cipt. Evans the Association of Old- est Inhabitants of the District of Co- lumbia has lost a true and loyal mem- bet and a lovable companion, one who has worked to its best interests for miny years, annually recording with fidelity and painstaking care the more important events transpiring from day ; throughout the city, and in also lending to it his great financial knowl- edge. acquired through a service of half a century with the United States Government. *A native of the District of Colum- bia. his rise to prominence was as honorable as it was -conspicuous. From the lowest position he rose to that of chief disbursing officer in the Départment of the Interior, from which he was retired only a short while prior to his death. He gained hig title of captain through his connec- tion with the National Rifles, long sifice merged with - the National . e resolutions were read by Sec- reury J. Ellor Wright, and ordered spread upon the minutes of the asso- clation. Joseph 1. Keefer made a brief talk In” which he recounted incidents in comnection “with the sending of the first Morse telegraph meéssage from Washington to Baltimore, and he also gave an account of the laying of the Adlantic cable by the ship Great tern. - Mr. Keefer said he had folind- by reading references on the subject that the cable broke twice be- fore it was completely laid. Believes Cable Burned. James F. Duhamel expressed the belief that the cable did not actually bréak, but that parts of it were bugned out because of the meager knowledge people. had of _electrical energy at that time. Mr. Keefer re- plied that he had found several books which told of the cable breaking. Mr. Proctor inquired if any member of the association could throw light ond the kind of weapon with which President Garfield was shot. He said heswas under the impression it was a British bulldog gun. Dr. Willlam Tindall bore out the statement of Mr. Proctor and gave an account of his intimate knowledge of the details sur rounding the death of Garfield. Mr. Topham sald he read an article regently giving a lst of the persons whese bodies have been taken to the rotunda of the Capitol before burial. Mn Topham expreksed the belief the lis{, was not complete and mentioned the name of Vice President Henry Wil- sog as one that was omitted. Summy, on hehalf of Mrs. Geprge W. Evans, presented to the association the American flag which was draped on the coffin of Capt. W Hudson. who was killed in action in“France during the World War.
