CoLUMBIA's DAMAGE SLIGHT.
Worn-Out Blocks Were Used on rht
Keel Of the Cruiser.

Norn-Out Blocks Were Used on the
Keel Of the Cruiser.
The official report OF Captain Sumner
concerning the accident TO the cruiser Co
Iumbia while in dry dock at Southampton,
England, was received at the Navy Depart
ment yesterday.
Captain Sumner says that the damage
TO the vessel was very slight and VIII not
Interfere with her trip TO New York.
The carelessness Of those in charge Of
the docking was in the use OF worn-out
blocks which had not been shaped TO the keel
of the Columbia. The blocks had first
been used with a merchant ship with what
Is known as a bar keel-very sharp and
abrupt. This keel had sunk deeply into
the blocks and had cut them in such a man
ner as TO make their reuse unsafe.
The frugal dock operators had placed
smother merchant vessel on these blocks
without reshaping them, with the result
that the heavy hull had sunk deeply into the
supports and made the indentatiOns broader
but left the keel free on account Of the deep
cut S made by the bar keel of the first ship,
thus throwing all the weight on the lower
sides OF the huh and giving DO support TO the
under part Of the keel
In docking naval vessel in this country
two or three days are spent in shaping the
supporting blocks TO the keel OF the ship,
but in the case Of the Columbia these same
blocks, used twice before, and bearing the
shapes Of two different merchantmen, were
made to answer the purpose without
reShaping.
The Columbia being much broader than
either OF the merchant vessels ! I'D not so
deep a that with the bar keel, had all her
weight thrown on the sides OF the hull, but
without allowing the keel TO touch the
solid wood and leaving ii free from support.
Naturally the ship strained, but forum
Etely the dock was flooded soon after the
Carelessness was discovered, and the strain
fng was relieved.
The Columbia has not yet started for New
York. The delay Us probably caused by the
o. rest after the hard labor in coaling.

SEARCHED The CHROME PITS
No Trace to Be Found Of the Miss
ing Dana Davenport.
His Father Returns to Anaeostia and
lis Very Much Depressed by the
Failure to Find Him.

In vain have the chrome pits of
Baltimore county been examined for some
trace of Mr.. Dana A Davenport, the young
divinity student who disappeared two
weeks ago. Mystery still envclops the fate
of the missing man The suspense of his
relatives and friends in the District is pain
full beyond expression.
Rev. W. G. Davenport and Mrs Daven-
port are terribly grieyed over their sons
disappearance, and letters arrive by the
dozen to the stricken family, expressing
the sympathy OF friends and their prayerful
interest. In Baltimoreg many OF the
Episcopal churches are holding special
prayer services daily and close friends
or the family are off on expeditions which
may reveal some trace of his whereabouts
IL was with heavy heart that Rev.
w. u. Davenport returned to Anacostia
last night, accompanied by Mr. julius
Tolson.
AS stated in The Times, the citizens of
Owing's Mills turned out yesterday morn
Ing In great numbers, and being provided
with long poles, 10 which Were attached
hooks, the interior OF the chrome pits
was examined closely
The pits were from twenty to one hun
dred feet deep, many filled with rocks
ana Others soft earth Everything pro-
gressed well until an extraordinarily deep
PIT, right on the edge OF the path, was
discovered The pole was not long enough
so ropes We're attached and the pole and
hook lowered TO a depth of 200 feet.
The result was most discouraging, there
being no trace of the body.
Wednesday night, Mr. j. f. HALEY and
Mr.. U. U. Fisher, OF AnaCoStia, went by
train TO Fredericksburg intending to make
search along each wharf OF the Rappaha-

Worthington H. Ireland has been indicted
by the grand jury of the District OF CO.

though, until after he was arrested over
six weeks ago and waived examination in
the police court on the charge of embezZle-
ment and after he had had time to remove

but only yesterday the indictment was re-

Jail to see what the Marylanders are going
to do with him.

WOOD WON'T BURN.
Electric Fireproofing Method Tried at
the Navy Department.


Secretary Herbert, Commodore HiChborn,
chief Of the Construction Bureau; Con-
structor Taylor, and Commander Cook,
acting chief of the Bureau of Navigation,
witnessed a test in the engine Groom of the
department to-day of wood prepared by au
electric fireproofing method.
A piece of yellow pine was put into the
furnace aud subjected to 1000 degrees
heat for five minutes. Itlaid upon ecoals
aud during that time it never blazed.
When taken out it was charred or carbonized
about half au inch on each side.
This carbon forms protection and the
wood chars slower as it is formed. A
piece of ash wood Of the same dimensions
was subjected to the same degree of heat
for twenty minutes with about the same
result, so far as damag &c to the wood.
The Secretary aud the naval officers were
much pleased with the test and it is the
intention OF the department. to have the
wood used in the new gunboats subjected
to this process The woodwork of other
vessels probably VIII be similarly treated
where there is need Of protection from
fire

M1LL1KEN NOT ARRESTED.
1t Does Not Appear That There Is a
Warrant For Him

1t Does Not Appear That There Is a
Warrant For Him.
Benjamin. Milliken, ctedforfelonious
assault upon Miss Gertrude Phillips daugh
ter Of Hon Samuel Phillips, ex solicitor
of the Treasury, has not been arrested and
there seems to have developed some mis-
understanding about the case.
District Attorney Birney says any citizen
who sees Mr. Milliken may arrest him.
A clerk of the court, who has had much
experience with bench warrants, says
his understanding is that no one except the
person who has warrant in his hands has
any right to take Mr. Milliken into Gus
tody.
None of the police, so far as can be
learned, feels authorized to arrest him.
Several have said that they would not take
him if they should find him.
The usual procedure in such cases is to
put a bench warrant in the hands of the
United States Marshal, but Marshal Wilson
says he has not received a warrant and
cannot make the arrest.
1t is generally understood that Judge
Mlliken promises that his mother will
appear when called, but as the matter
stands he is entirely at liberty to fail to
appear The usual procedure would be
TO take bond for his appearance.

INDIAN HEAD TESTS.

y
OH the Work.
The ordnance bureau of the Navy De-
partment has found it necessary to hire
tug to carry on the tests at Indian Head.
The tug assigned to the bureau has been
at Norfolk under repair, but it will not
be completed in time to allow the work of
the bureau to proceed. Some powder
tests and the tests of plates already at
the Navy Yard and more which are on the
way are pressing, or at least would block
the work OF the bureau if delayed until
the tug is completed.
The bureau has been informed that the
work Of preparing a section of the side of
the Iowa, which has been in progress at
Norfolk, is well advanced, and it will soon
be ready to be sent to the Washington yard.
From there 1T will he taken to Indian Head

side of a battle-ship.
1t will be some time before the test of
the turret resistance to heavy shots can
be made, as the building of the turrets is
tedious work.

Until o'clock Saturday morning the
central police station rejoiced in the
companionship of four cats, three of
the same hour Sergeant DAILY believed
implicitly that he was a better shot
than Carver or Borgardus, and that he
could, if officially called upon, artistic

sized man at a distance of 300 feet.
Previous to the hour designated a rep
resentative of the morning press con-
ceived himself the only American Char

new girl was as helpless as a little

understand them better than ever be-
: fore since Bibles began to be. And
this is an element of power which the
church greatly needs. An incarnate
Christ, when but a young man, moved
the world because the word dwelt in
him richly. An incarnate Bible is to-
day moving the world with even great
err power than did He, for it is the
Bible of Gods spirit dwelling in men.
The last reason John gave for writ
ing to young men was, Eye have over
they had conquered sin and driven out
Satan. What a triumph was thisi.
What a victory! 1t shows what young
men can do. 1t shows that young men
do not need to sow wild oats" 1t
shows that even young men, battling
with the world, can be pure and clean
and upright. 1t shows, moreover, that
there is a charm in religion for young
men, and that they are drawn to the
Christ when they understand Him.
This is the kind of young men to
whom John wrote, and whom he
sought to encourage. This is the kind
of young men that is needed. in the
church today. Men who are strong.
in whom the word of God abides, and
who have overcome the devil. Let the
church be filled with young men and
young women of this stamp, and she
will look forth as the morning, fair
as the moon, clear as the sun and ter
rlble as an army with banners"
