ORDERED THE FLAG DOWN.

Action of n Foreman In the Gun Car
riage Shop mt the Navy Yard.
There was considerable talk today over
an incident that occurred yesterday in the
west section of the gun carriage shop at
the navy yard.
The gun carriage shop is divided into two
sections-the western being in charge Of
Mr.. Giles, and the eastern in charge of Mr..
Smthson. In the section of the latter there
are employed from 100 to $50 machinists,
each of whom yesterday. in honor Of Flag
day. placed a small flag on the lathe he
vas working.
One man in Mr. Giles sec ton also put
a flag on his lathe. This one was veteran
of the late war, a Mr.. Robey, who left one
of his limbs on the field of battle Accord
Mr.. Giles was out OF the shop when Mr..
Robey displayed the stars and stripes on
his lathe, but, upon returning. at once
ordered the flag to be removed, which
was done.
News Of what Mr. Giles was reported to
have done spread among the men en-
ployed in the other shops, and caused a
great deal Of indignation.
1t is said that the attention of Com
modore Norton, commandant Of the yard,
will be called to the affair.
Neither Secretary Herbert nor Assistant
Secretary McAdoO could be seen this after
neon in regard to the action of Foreman
Giles, but it is believed to be safe infer
ence that neither of them will approve the
alleged unpatriotic treatment of the Amer
lean fieg by a subordinate in the navy
yard. Assistant Secretary McAdoo's senti-
ments IN regard to the proper observance
of Flag day. may be judged by the fact
that he displayed "Old Glory at his own
residence in this city On that occasion.
Although the case is one which would Or
dinarily be dealt with by the authorities
of the yard 1t is possible that the incident
may be made the subject of an official re-
port to the Secretary of the Navy.

find was reported and tire circumstance
noted in Tie News, and the next day a
young woman who is employed in a can

the watch and chain.
She lost them. She said, two years ago.
and while employed at the factory. She
did not know how she lest them, and ad-

the filler to the can. The bow. or ring.
which connects watch and chain was not
