take at another residence. After being left
there the package was given by the occu-
pant to a boarder and was taken from her
room.
In filing the Indignation in the case
Prosecuting Attorney Ralph Given alleged
the ownership of the package stin In the
store owner. 1t was claimed for the de-
Tense that after they were left at the

Navy Yard Half Holiday.
NORFOLK STEAMER LATE.
"
Delay Due to Refusal Of Colored Fire
men to Work.

The steamer Newport News Of the Nor
folk and Washington Steamboat Company
arrived here this morning from Norfolk
about two hours late, the delay having been
caused by several of the colored firemen of
the vessel refusing to fire her back to this
city. The trouble, it is stated at the Of
fees Of the company in this city, grew out
of an order Of Capt. Casson to lower the
shutters of the amidship gangways of the
steamer. This, the firemen claimed kept
them from getting air, and five of them re-
fused to work. Capt Casson was, according
to reports, assaulted by Emmett Boone,
and the Norfolk police were called upon
to stop the trouble. Boone escaped and
the others agreed to work the steamer on
her trip here.
Manager John Callahan states that there
was no question of wages, as reported from
Norfolk. involved in the dispute. On the ar
rival of the steamer. here this morning the
men who had caused the trouble were dis
charged and their places In the fire room
filled with new men.
