Norfolk Thinks shipbuiIders shouldn't Have
the Advantage of n Longer workday.


NORFOLK. Va, Jan. 29.-The question OF an
eiRht-hour day for all laborers engaged on
Government naval work. whether employed In
private shipynrds where battleships and cruis-
ers are constructed under contract, or in navy
yards. is being aGitated by the commercial
bodies OF Norfolk and Portsmouth. The con-
tention Of the shipyards that they can turn out
warshlps at lower cost than they can be con-
structed by the Government at It's navy yards
is made possible. 1t Is said. by the fact that the
employees OF the private concerns are com
PEELED. some OF them, IL not all. to work ten
and even twelve hours per day. for which they
receive about the same. and frequently lower.
wages than are paid navy yard workmen for
eight hours labor. Tho lapse Of the Govern
ment, yards, In consoquence Of this. into use

commercial, bodies wherever navy yards exist.
The Board OF Trade. the Business Mems As
sociation OF Norfolk and the. Board OF Trade OF
Portsmouth have placed the matter IN the
hands of their legislative committees. and they
will endeavor TO secure a law fixing uniform
hours. for all Government work wherever ex-
eoutad.

DELINQUENT TAX SALE.

chase of PrOuertY Alxerfised

chase of Property Advertised
Mr.. E. G. Davis, the District collector.
at 10 o'clock this morning began the an
nual delinquent tax sale, the property sold
being that on which taxes were in ar
rears July l, 1898 The law provides that
the property so in arrears shall be sold to
the highest bidder, but not for less than
the amount of the taxes in arrears. Those
purchasing the property, which purchas Sc
is made after due advertisement of the
sale, hold it until it is redeemed by the
owner which may be done at any time
within two years by the payment of the
amount for which it was sold with interest
thereon at 10 per cent per annum If not
redeemed within that period, the District
gives the purchaser a deed to the property.
IL no pio IS received for property it is
bought in by the District, and interest is
charged against the owner at the rate of
10 per cent per annum.

erty In square l, being continued up to

1hese delinquent tax sales are rather or
dinary affairs, but today unusual interest
was attached to it because of the presence
among others of Mr.. c. H. Wilsev of
Rochester, n. y, who was a most extern
slVe purchaser, taking about every piece of
property not bought by others. Mr.. Wilsev
Is SAID TO represent number of wealthy
persons outside of the District. and it is
stated tnat he considers the purchase of
District property under the delinauent tax
sale very profitable investment 1t is un-
derstood he will be a most liberal pur-
chaser throughout the several days of the
sale.

A Lightning Change Artist.

From the Popular Science Monthly.
AS 1 lay stretched on the bank at the
foot of great maple I saw a weasel run
along in the brush fence some distance
away. A few seconds later he was stand
ing ON the exposed root Of the tree hardly
a yard from my eyes. ! lay motionless
and examined the beautiful, creature min
utely. till suddenly 1 found myself staring
at the smooth greenish-gray root Of the
maple with no weasel in sight. Judging
from my own experience, should say that
this is the usual termination of any chance
observations Of either weasels or ninks.
Occasionally they may be seen to dart
into the bushes or behind some log or pro-
jecting bank, but much more frequently

THE TENDENCY TO CRAP
Form of Gambling for Which There is No
Adequate Remedy.
The Police officials Striving to Break
1t Up Prosecuting Attorney
PuGh's Suggestion.

Almost every day during the past two
months Judge Kimball has had before him
various persons charged with shooting
crap. These people are tried under the
law for alleged disorderly conduct. The
ing or the of profane language does
not have to be shown in order to make out
a case under the law.
The imposition of severe penalties has
by no means decreased the number of ar
rests for this offense. Usually the penalty
imposed is fine of $40 although the court
sometimes considers the youth of the Of
tenders and makes the fine one-half this
amount
Recently the police ran across several big
games and picked up large sums of money
when making raids. There was a time
wien most of these games were played on
vacant lots and in the alleys where the
players seldom had their games interrupt
ed. as they were able to have out a spy
to give warning of the approach of the
police. The officers, however, managed
to get views of the games from houses
and other places and made things so warm
for the gamblers that many of them were
driven in houses. Then the police applied
the law for permitting gaming on premises
ana much more severe penalties were i'm
posed. Now most of these gamblers play
where they can get good views in svery
direction. This, it is stated, is the reason
why the police are really more successful
than they We're formerly.
Fully realizing the serious consequences
of this game, Maj. Sylvester is desirous of
having the officers see to the strict en-
forcement of the law, and Prosecuting At
torhey Pugh, who has charge Of prosacu-
tons in these cases, in conversation with
Star reporter, said he thought it was about
time that law covering these games in
the streets was enacted. Crap shooting +
said, has been the cause of a great amount
of trouble to the police as well as an an
noyance to the citizens. Not only do these
games cause street brawls, but they also
result in serious cutting and shooting
scrapes, and several homicdes have re-
suited from them during recent years
Under the present law, he said the court
can impose not more than $25 fine in each
case. While in many instances this amount
is sufficient, some of them call for more Sc
we're penalties.
The prosecuting attorney recalled the
great number of such cases that have been
before the court this spring, and said he
thought something should be done to save
the boys who are victims of the game
