~ SOLID COPPER BOWLDER
- NOW IN NEW MUSEUM
st Remarkable Mass of Metal on
Exhibition Has an Interesting
History.
Among the geological and mineralogical
collections of the National Museum is an
odd bowlder of solid copper, known as the
Ontonagon bowlder, which has a very Interesting
history. This large mass of copper
has been in the possession of the
Smithsonian Institution since 1800, and
has recently been moved to the new museum
building, where it is now on exhibition
in the southeast corner of the east
hail on the second floor.
C. The bowlder has the appearance of a dull
rUe bronze-colored rock much chipped and
worn. It is three and one-half feet long,
three feet wide and one and one-half feet
in its thickest part, and owing to the
great density of copper weighs nearly
ch1 three tons, a large weight for such a
relatively small hulk.
to
ut. Found in Upper micmgun.
my For ages this remarkable mass of coplle
per lay on the west bank of the Ontonagon
river in the upper peninsula of Mich:t!1
igan, where it was known for many
)Ut years by the Chippewa Indians of that
region. It was not until 1766, however,
e that the first white man, Alexander
Henry, an English adventurer and trader,
visited this remarkable specimen. During
the next seventy-five years many explorers
and scientists followed Henry's
footsteps until the bowlder became well
Jrt known as a mineralogical curiosity. It
;re was undoubtedly a valuable specimen,
ny worth several thousands of dollars, but Its
weight prevented any one from making
?? away with it.
In 1841. Julius Eldred, a hardware merrill
chant of Detroit, purchased this copper
he rock from the Chippewa Indians on whose
>es lands it was Ideated and two years later.
' a after many difficulties, succeeded in
rt, transporting it down the Ontonagon river,
em through Lake Superior to Sault Ste.
ler Marie, and thence to Detroit, where it
A- was placed on exhibition for a brief period.
Claimed by Government.

Soon after its arrival, the government
claimed it, and toward the end of 1843 it
rd was shipped to Washington and deposited J
in the yard of the quartermaster's bureau
of the War Department, where it re- <

NO SUITS FOMDIT
IN DISTRICT BUILD.NG
Ruling by Justice Wright on
Demurrer to Action for Damages
for Negligence.
Justice Wright, in the case of Fannie
W. Cady against the District of Columbia,
In ruling on a demurrer by the District
to the cla'm of Mrs. Cady for damages
for alleged injuries sustained by
her slipping on the floor of the Municipal
building, held yesterday that the maintenance
of a building by the District was
in the administration of municipal affairs
and not the performance of a governmental
function, which would exempt
it from suits for damages for negligence.
Mrs. Cady, in her declaration flled. by
Attorneys Wilton J. Lambert and Rudolph
H. Yeatman, claims that the Dis
inci was negligent in maintaining the
floors of its building in a slippery condition,
and that, as a result, when leaving
the tax office, and in the corridor, she
slipped and fell, causing her hip to be
broken.
In disposing of the objection the court
remarked that the confusion of the
courts In the cases cited results from a
failure to appreciate the reasoning which
sustains the original opinions of the
courts in exempting counties and townships
from liability for the negligence of
their employes.
Beason for Being Sustained.
That exemption and liability were sustained
on the theory that counties and
townships were political subdivisions of
the sovereign entity of the state, and
that parts of that entity were not liable
to be sued unless by the authority of
the state.
Justice Wright pointed out that the District
is no part of a political entity of a
state; it is organized and created for the
accommodation of its members and. the

where the sovereign, through legislation
imposes upon the municipality the discharge
of duties which primarily belong
to the discharge of the sovereignty is
that exemption allowed. The court further
said that the rule is, as it ought to
be. that municipalities are liable for
negllgence in the maintenance of their
home offices.

SCHOOLBOYS HOLD SHOOT.
The Fourth Annual Tournament on
Range at Edsalls, Va.
Washington schoolboys, the most of
them pupils in the high schools of the
city, are taking part in the fourth annual
schoolboys' rifle shooting tournament at
Edsalls, Va., today. Many of the boys
are merribers of the High School Cadet
companies, though a number of the
youthful riflemen who went down to the
Virginia rifle range this morning are
mere lads not yet out of short trousers.
The party, accompanied by members of
the faculty of each school represented,
left the 1'nifin station at 7-.'SO nVlnnlr tiiiu
morning, over the Southern railroad. The
boys this year are using the Edsalls
range by courtesy of the Secretary of
War. and the range officers, markers, instructors
and others are officers and men
[>f the Coast Artillery Corps, detailed
from Fort Washington. A number of
members of the District National Guard
also accompanied the party. The Edsalls
range was used for the schoolboys' tour- I
lament two years ago, the boys being the '
gues-ts of the Marine Corps at their range
it Winthrop, Md., last year.
Rifles and ammunition of the regulation
irmy sor* were issued at the range, the
>oys paying a small entrance fee and also
saying their own expenses to Edsalls and
-eturn. The party left K.lsalls for the
-etum trip to this city shortly after '2
>'clock this afternoon.

WOUS BACK IN CITY M
Civic Association Official At- B<
tended Conference on Parks
in Yosemite.
Richard B. Watrous, secretary of the ?
American Civic Association, has returned
to Washington from a three-week trio to "0I
? las
California, where he went to attend the
second annual conference In the Yosemite g
Park, which was called by Secretary w
Walter L. Fisher of the Department of ^
the Interior to consider the needs of the hlg
national parks and monuments. jag
Mr. ?Watrous reports that the confer- wa
ence was a success in every respect and ^
that there is an increasing interest in the rep
development of the national parks, par- caj
ticularly with reference to the creation p
of a federal bureau for their direction,
which has been recommended by the ^o\
President. syi
An Interesting feature of the conference yes
was an appeal made by a large number He
of representatives of California antomo- tal.
bile clubs, urging that automobllists be v
allowed to enter the Yosemite Park The we!
Secretary gave much time to considering gtr<
their appeal and has taken the matter col
under advisement. While the impression Chi
seemed to prevail generally that the admission
of automobiles would result in .
an increased attendance at the park. It
was admitted that there are many impor- Drtant
details, particularly of safety and nor
the building of new roads, to be consld- nig
ered before such permission can be res
granted. Ir
From the Yosemite Mr. Watrous made str<
short trips to Los Angeles and San Diego, E>ai
where he was particularly impressed with Col
the "booster spirit" of those cities and wes
