Colored, Held at Israel M. E. Church. Funeral services for John F. N. Wilkinson. colored, the oldest employe ot the Library of Congress in point of service. were held yesterday afternoon at Israel M. E. Church. Herbert Putnam, librarian of Congress, made some appropriate remarks at the services. E. M. Borchard, law librarian, also was present.

OFFICIALS HAVE PROBLEM * Kansas Prison Authorities Declare District Must Move Forty Women at Lansing. Mattie Lomax. colored, slayer of her husband. Cecil Lomax. who is under sentence of life imprisonment, having escaped the gallows through executive clemency, is without a home. She still is in the District jail, but under the terms of her sentence she must be sent to a penitentiary. Thus far the government has found no penitentiary where the of- j ficiais will rfceive her. and she may have to remain in ti e local jail for an indefinite period. It was the intention of the Department of Justice and jail officials to send Iier to the state prison at Lansing, Kan., but officials of that prison refuse to accept her. Not only do they refuse to accept the murderess, but they have notified the Department of Justice that all the woman prisoners from this city will have to be taken 'rom there, and. it is stated, there are about forty of them, twenty more from here than the state. j Matter of Conjecture. Where .Mstli? Lomax will spend her remaining years is a matter of conjecture. Jail officials believe she eventually will go to the Government Hospital for the Insane, as her conduct is such as to indicate that she is mentally irresponsible. The prisoner continues as troublesome as she was before President Taft commuted her sentence to life imprisonment. It is said that officials of the Department of Justice have asked officials of the Kansan prison to keep the woman prisoners from this city until the completion of the woman's ward at the federal prison at Leavenworth, but it is thought: the request will not be granted. The j Lansing officials arc anxious to get rid of the added responsibility of caring for the Washington prisoners, and it is probable they soon will have to move. Coupled with the request that the prisoners be permitted to remain in the Lansing prison until the completion of the women's ward at Leavenworth was a request that Mattie Lomax be added to the number. It is said that the women's ward at Leavenworth will not be finished for a year or two, and the Kansas prison officials are not desirous of caring for the federal prisoners for so long a time. Reasons Not Known Here. Why the Lansing authorities are anxious to get rid of the Washington prisoners is not known here. It is j possible that they fear overcrowding of the prison or that the Washington women are too troublesome. The ques tion of where Mattie is to be sent, it is thought, will be determined in a few days. Eighteen men under sentence to serve in the penitentiary are in the local jail, and there seems to be some doubt as to where they will be sept. They may be sent to Atlanta or Leavenworth, or they may be divided into groups of short and long term prisoners. Should this be done it is \ probable that those under sentence of more than two years will be sent to Leavenworth, while those who are to serve two years or under will go to J Atlanta It was stated this morning thai the eighteen prisoners may be held here ur.til about November J, by which time the number probably wlM be largely Increased.

Mr. Wood was inspecting the alley at the time of the accident, in accordance with his duty as a District officer, he then being an inspector. According to the testimony presented by Attorneys C. A. Keigwin, W. J. Neale and J. N. England, for the plaintiff. the pit has been located in this public alley since 1886 and there is no records in the office of the building inspector of its existence. Witnesses claimed the District was negligent in falling to see that, the doors covering the pit were kept in proper repair. The covering was shown to have been in a defective condition for some time prior to the accident. The District in defense attempted to show that the pit was connected with ?

As the pit was in a public alleyway Justice Wright declined to admit this contention.

The suit was filed some months afterward. Assistant Corporation Counsel Stephens represented the District at the trial. BODY RETURNED TO CITY.

I Importance of Getting Winter's Coal 1 to Occoqnan Before Freeze Comes. Work is being pushed on the repairs to J the boiler of the District tug General War- 1 ren, but it will be a week or more before the steamer is ready to return to service, towing between this city and the Dis-:; trict workhouse at Occoquaji, Va. Mean- j i while the lighters laden with coal for 1 the workhouse and with brick and stone! < at the workhouse for this city are being moved by chartered tugs, and two or j three trips ar? being made each week between this city and the workhouse : grounds. It is stated that the District recently contracted for 10,000 tons of coal for use at the workhouse, and of this quantity only about half has been delivered so far. The officials in charge of the shipping of the coal are making! every effort to get the fuel to the work-j house before the coming of freezing weather. Occoquan creek has been1 known to freeze In November, and when ! it once freezes the sheet of ice, it is stated, remains on it until the spring ] thaw remains, and effectually puts a stop to communication with the workhouse by water. Then all supplies have to be taken to Occoquan bv rail, necessitating a haul of a nrile or two from the nearest station. CHOOSES ITS OFFICERS. Leesburg Militia Company Holds Election?Auxiliary Meets.
