CEMETERY NOTES. — (Continued from page 1 45) 
The question of whether the Congressional Cemetery, Wash- 
ington, D. C., is the property in absolute title of the Wash- 
ington Parish, Protestant Episcopal Church, or whether it is 
held in trust by the parish will be submitted to the courts 
for decision if the report of the executive committee of the 
Lot Owners’ Association of the cemetery, criticizing the man- 
agement of the affairs of the burial grounds and preferring 
charges against the parish, results in litigation as is expected. 
It is stated to be the contention of the church authorities that 
the parish has full control over the cemetery by legally vested 
ownership, the claim of the lot owners’ committee that the 
church has authority by virtue of a trust being denied. The 
controversy, it is stated, will soon be taken to the District 
Supreme Court by the Lot Owners' Association, which body 
has recently brought the following charges against the vestry 
of Washington Parish : Reselling occupied graves and re- 
moving bones of prior occupants ; bodies of soldiers, sailors, 
and marines removed to make good second sale of their 
graves ; private vault used as public vault without consent of 
owner ; vestry declined inspection of books by investigating 
committee ; tombstones neglected and allowed to fall down ; 
alleged that cemetery funds have been used for defraying 
church expenses.

Graceland Cemetery, Chicago, has found it necessary to 
close their grounds on Sundays and holidays to all but ticket 
holders. This action is the result of complaints by lot own- 
ers that the cemetery was becoming too much of a pleasure 
resort. 
Oakwood Cemetery, Red Wing, Minn., has abolished Sun- 
day funerals.
