Cookendorfer's grave is the first Revo- lutionary grave within the District of Columbia to be marked by the D. A. R. | It holds special interest for Washing- tonians, as the soldier was born in | Georgelown—on “High street,” mnow | Wisconsin avenue, and so far as is known, made his home there until his death in 1823. He was 70 years old when he died. He took up arms in the struggle for independence when less than 20 years of age, going into action in 1777 as a member of the 29th Bat- talion, under Col. John Murdock. Cookendorfer had four children. Elizabeth, Katherine, Thomas and Mary. The two descendants who paid tribute Im his memory yesterday were Mrs. Wil- i loughby Chesley and Mrs. Charles W Fairfax, both of Washington and both descended from Thomas Cookendorfer. w Mrs. Samuel S. Koones, regent of the | Capt. Molly Pitcher Chapter, welcomed | the guests at the ceremony. She intro- | duced several speakers. Among these were Frank Steel. secretary general of the National Society, Sons of the Amer- Revolution; Col. Alonzo Gray, State president of the Sons of the Amerlun Revolution; Mrs. Harry Ool- fax Grove, State historian, Dlll[hul'l of the American Revolution, who gave & brief sketch of the life and service of Leonard Cookendorfer; Mrs. David D. Caldwell, State regent, D. A. R, who accepted the marker for the State, and Mrs. Chesley, who accepted the marker in the name of the family of the vet- eran. Mrs. Chesley and Mrs. Cooken- dorfer unveiled the tablet. Miss Blanche Polkinhorn led the singing of “America,” which closed the ceremony. TAX ON SENATOR'S $2,500 FEE IS SOUGHT Government Would Have Supreme Court Rule Reed Not Exempt on Sum Paid by State. By the Associated Press. . The Government would have the Supreme Court rule that Senator David A. Reed was taxable on $2,500 which he has received from Pennsyl- vania as counsel for the State in the settlement of inheritance taxes due the State from the Henry Frick and from the Edith Ann Oliver estates. In December. 1920, Senator Reed was appointed special counsel for the State and presented his bill for $2,500 in 1921 for professional services. The Gov- ernment took the position that the money should be added to the other income which the Senator had received as a lawyer, and assessed an additional tax of $1,215. Senator Reed contested before the board of tax appeals and | lost, but was successful in his appeal to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, which last July held that the income which he had received from the State was exempt from Federal taxation. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 19%9. PRAISES FOOT BAL AS GAME FORBOYS - Gridiron Commended by Tech Coach in Address at Y. M. C. A. Gathering. Boys, ot Washington are safer on a foot ball field than on the city streets, according to “Hap” Hardell, coach of the Tech High foot ball team and long famous as a trainer of high school athletes. Furthermore, asserts the Tech coach, boys are better off reading the sport pages than “crime-filled front sheets” of the newspapers. The sport pages, he contends, teach youth the value of dis- cipline and respect for law and order. Addresses Y. M. C. A. Audience. Hardell gave some of his views re- garding sport in general and high school foot ball in particular in an address last night before 150 men participating in the Y. M. C. A. campaign for member- ship. The men are members of teams which reported a gain of 54 new “Y" members at a dinner meeting in the as- sembly hall of the Central Y. M. C. A., 1736 G street. “The public, especially parents,” Har- dell declared, “has an erroneous idea about the dangers lurking for their boys on the gridiron. As a matter of fact, in- juries on the foot ball field are com- paratively few.” Dunlap Heads Membership Drive. Hardell was introduced by R. W. Dun- lap, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, who is head of the membership drive. The campaign teams, named for leading colleges, are using foot ball terminology in their drive.
