His Statement of (tan Proopect Hill
Cemetery .Matter.
BIS TESTIMONY BEFORE TBE DISTRICT SUBCOMMITTEE
or TBE HOrsE INVESTIGATING TBE MATTER?BE
KNEW NOTHING OF TBE INJUNCTION WHEN BE OR
DEHED TBE WORE TO 00 ON.
The District subcommittee, Investigating the at
tempted opening of North Capitol street through
the Prospect Hill cemetery, resumed the taking of
testluionty to-day. CoL Ludlow and the officers of
the cemetery who authorized the opening through
tbat property were present, CoL Ludlow was put
upon tbe stand and gave a history of tbe matier re
lating to the opening of the street, lie said that
the matter had progressed under the authority of
tbe board or commissioners in accordance with
tbe law, as they understood It to apply. Tbe di
rectors or governors of this cemetery, as the Com
missioners understood them to be, had all given
their consent to the opening of the street turough
the cemetery. The commissioners nad advertised
for oDjectiuns but noue had appeared. He knew
nothing 01 the objecting body. He h id not been
noilileu of any objection. The work was advau
I clng under the ord>-r of tue Commissioners when It
| was sloped by telephone message iruiu him on the
23d of Dec mber.
BE KNEW WOTHl NO OF TBE INJUNCTION
issued on the 17th of December.
It appeared of record beiore the committee that
! the Injunction 10 stop the work in tbe cemetery
was served on commissioner Weob on the 17th.
Coi. Ludlow snowed that tbe order to begin the
work on North tapliol street was p. lor to this
date?on me 14m?and swore that be had no
knowledge of the service of the Injunction until
tue 23d, wben he ordered the work 10 stop. Mr.
Weuu, he said, had neglected to lnfjrui him of
the service of the lnjunct.on, aud the Board of
Commissioners had not been Informed of It. Af
terward, when he had as.ed Mr. Webb about the
matter, ue said he had referred It to Mr. Davis,
the attorney. Witness knew In a general way,
through the newspapers, that some proceedings
ltd b?en begun ttrwi' WW it, but he knew ? me
injunction having been Issued at the tune the
men were put to work in the cemetery. The flrst
information on mis subject came to him on the
morning of the 23>1, through a telepuone message
from Mr. Davis, which came to the witness at his
bouse. Mr. Davis telephoned that Mr. Mattlngly
had informed Ulm that men were at work In the
cemetery in violation of the Injunction. This was
the flint knowledge col. Ludlow had of the in
junction. He at once telepnoued an order to have
the work stopped, and it was stopped.
NEVER LAID BEFORE TBE BOARD.
The injunction, CoL Ludlow said, had never been
laid before tbe board.
The record of the committee was here read to
show that Mr. Webb had acknowledged tbe serv
ice.
"Did you ask him what he did with It?" asked
Col. Ludlow. "Because he did not show it to me."
Tbe injunction saould have been shown him. and
he would have stopj>ed the work.
Witness said there was no attempt to do any
thing In violation of the law. Everything was
done In accordance with the action of tne Board of
Commissioners under the law as they understood
It. The only individual action by the Engineer
Commissioner ? as wuen he called the attention of
the attorney to the provisions of tbe charter of the
cemetery society, which would pronibit the com
missioners from entering the cemetery, and, later,
when he gave the order to stop the work These
two acts were the only ones by him individually.
Tuat part of Mr. Webb's testimony in wnicu be
said that tbe board had never authorized tbe work
was read.
TBE OFFICIAL RECORD.
CoL Ludlow submitted to tbe committee the re
cords of official action by the board on the subject.
He said that when tbe superintendent was author
ized to open up tbe extension of North Capitol
street there was nothing to show that It was not a
public street, requiring only to be opened. The
Duard knew of no objection that the work of open
ing the street was illegaL Tbe opening of the
street had been petitioned for and it had been re
commended, he thought, in ibe annual report of
the commissioners. He said that tbe Commission
ers
KNEW THAT TBET COULD NOT INTER THE CEMETERY.
and they h<td not uttempted to do so. When,
however, tbe directors bad subdivided and platted
the property, and made the subdivision a matter
of record, this was a volunr ry action on the part
of tbe owners of the property, as the commission
ers understood the mat.er, aud they proceeded,
according to legal lorrn, to open up the street, ad
vertising for objections.
Mr. Ouenther said it had been charged by the
press that the opening of this street was in the
interest Of a Pblladeipula syndicate.
"PHILADELPHIA SYNDICATES."
Col. Ludlow said that Philadelphia syndicates
loomed up In front of every street extension. "So
far as I know," he added, seriously, "no Philadel
phia people own any land In that section. Mrs.
Barber luherlts her proiierty, Mrs. Dobbin inherits
her property, I believe, and her husband, of New
York?If that makes a Philadelphia syndicate."
He said tne Commissioners considered the open
ing of the street a valuable public improvement.
They had so stated in their report, aud they still
considered it such.
DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE.
Colonel Ludlow had copies of several official
letters and other papers on the general subject,
which he said he bad not had an opportunity to
look over after they had been furnished him.
He produced tbe letter written by him in No
vember 1880, calling the attention of Mr. Davis to
the prohibition in the charter. There was also a
private letter from CoL Ludlow to Senator Siier
man reciting the (act of the charter prohibiting
tbe commissioners from entering the cemetery. A
reply from General Sherman stated that this was
undoubtedly correct.
Another document was a copy of the order of
the commissioners, November 24,1886, authoriz
ing tbe preliminary proceedings under tbe law, to
open North Capitol street. This order was sus
pended after the plat o( tbe subdivision had been
recorded by tbe officers of the cemetery. An or
der was Issued on October IS, 1887, for preliminary
proceedings to open tbe street. Witness presented
a copy of the order of tne Board of Commission
ers, dated November 22,1887, which was the final
order
DIRECTING TBI WORK TO BMW.
"This," said CoL Ludlow, "is the action of the
board of Commissioners, not of any Individual
member. Every member of the board participated
In tbe action."
Reverting again to the injunction CoL Ludlow
said that tne work would have been stopped at
once had he knownof tbe injunction. But, he said,
aocidents would happen in tue beat regulated fam
ilies, and Mr. Webb had. by an oversight, or some
thing of that port, not called his attention to it.
He believed theirs was not the best regulated
family. The action relating to this matter had,
howsver, been harmonious. He said that the En
gineer Commissioner did not act except by author
ity of the board.
tii cnoes- ixajun atjox.
On cmss ersminstton Mr. Henry Wise Garnets
struck at oooe upon tbe latter to senator Sherman,
and Insists! upon knowing what Interest the Sen
ator had In the matter, and it he owned land cm
or near the proposed extension. He aaked witness
u Mr. Sherman had talked to him concerning the
extension of tne street.
Col Ludlow did not reoolleotot Senator Sher
man's interesting himself in the extension of
MM Capitol surest. The letter to him had been
written to him by CoL Ludlow, not because of any
lniersst the ssnstor took In the extension, but be
oaassot the Use that sosas mtslitw would
have to be hid. It vu brought out that Mr.
Sherman owned property on the line of the lst
stret extension. CoL I.udlow said that Mr. Gar*
nett would have to learn from Mr. Sherman
whether he owned any large tract of land be
tween these two streets.
Mr. Qarnett asked it witness had not talked with
Mr. Sherman on the subject las: spring. He re
plied thai be did not remember having seen Mr.
Sherman at that time.
PROTESTING AOAINRT DRAGGING MK HIIUUI I*.
CoL Ludlow protested against dragging Senator
Shei man into the case, as he had nothing to do
with it, and moved to strike out that part of the
record.
Mr. Garnett undertook to tell the commute*
what COL Ludlow had stated.
CoL Ludlow protested against this, and asked
Vr o >rnett II he thought it a fair or Just pro
ceeding.
MR. SIMON WOLF'S T1STTM0XY.
Mr. Simon Wolf was sworn and gave the history
of a bill that had been Introduced In the Forty
ninth congress at his request, to amend the char
ter of the cemetery. He said tho bill had been op
posed by a man wno totd him in the corridor that
he represented a Philad iphla syndicate, lie said
he bad told CoL Ludlow of this.
THE SUBDIVISION OF TBR CINimT mOntRTT.
Mr. Schacffer, the president of the board ot di
rectors, who bad died the plat and had given per
mission to the Commissioners to enter the ceme
tery, w?? examined. His testimony was some
what mixed at Qrst on account of misunderstand
ing, but he finally testified that be had made the
plat of the new subdivision (a part oi Prospect
Hill Cemetery) of record before the election of the
new b iard of directors and while he had authority
to do so. Other witnesses, representing the two
cemetery factions, were examined, This testi
mony went only to show that there was a great
conflict of authority, ana that matters with them
appeared much mixed. The question ot which
faction was right was now befure the courts, and
the committee did not care to enter upon this.
The committee wiu not take further testimony.
Capiiol Topic*.
SENATOR IYGALLS OBJECTS. '
It is learned that the report is not true that a
soap manufacturing Arm which took the liberty of
advertising a brand ot shaving soap upon an al
leged lnt rvlew with Senator Ingalls sent a check
to the Senator. The Arm did undertake to boom a
braud of shaving soap by connect ng it with sena
tor Ingails" prominence and popularity. Hut tne
Senator cut thai short by writing them that unless
the advertisement was stopped and all efforts in
that direction discontinued he would prosecute
them. TIM manufact urer did not dare send the
senator a check tor $150 or any other sum. Hence
there was no occasion for him to return a check.
AGAIK8T THR ADMISSION OP ITT AH.
The Senate committee on territories to-day heard
an argument by Judge Bascom against the admis
