twenty years of age, who resides at 18th
and f streets northwest, stood before Judge
Mullowny in the Police Court yesterday
charged with the larceny of revolver
from Frank J. Olcott. The young man
seemed especially penitent. and declared he
took the revolver In an effort to obtain
money with which to pay his board bill
He declared he had never known the care
of parents, for they had deserted him in
Pittsburg when he was FIVE years of age.
Later he met a man who adopted him.
with the result that he lived happily up
until several months ago, when the foster
father died. The prisoner then came to this
city. Not obtaining employment at once
his money dwlnded. At last he obtained
work as helper to the property man at
one Of the local theaters, and was placed
under arrest by Detective johnson Of the
first precinct station last evening
Judge Mulowny continued the case for
several days. in order to allow Agent
Massfe OF the Prisoners Aid Society to in

ANAcosTIA RIVER CHANNEL.
Effort of Navy Department to Have
Work Done

In the general scheme for the improve
ment of the Washington navy yard It was
proposed TO dredge about 10000 cubic yards
from the channel in the Ana costa river in
front of the yard with view to the better
ment OF navigation in that quarter. Rear
Admiral HOLIDAY, chief of the bureau of
yards and docks, Navy Department, re-
Gently invited bids for the proposed dredg-
ing. The only response came from John
Miller of this city, who offered TO do the
work at the rate of IS cents per cubic yard,
or 81, 600 for the entire Job.
The Navy Department was compelled to
reject this bid because it had only 49, 359
available for the work Negotiations have
been opened with the Maryland Dredging
Company, which Is dredging the channel in
the Anacostia river under contract with
the War Department, to see if that COM
pany will not undertake the dredging OPP
erat!ons at the navy yard channel at the
same rate as 1t Is doing similar work for
the War Department-23.S cents per cubic
yard.
The Maryland company has hydraulic
dredge at the scene of opera tons and will
probably agree to do the work for the Navy
Department The higher figures of the
Miller bid were due to the fact that he
would have had to use a dipper dredge in
the work.

Salaries of Government Watchmen
To the Editor of The Star.

To the Editor Of The Star:
An article appearing IN your paper the
23d instant speaks of the watchmen in the
government printing office being reduced to
$40 per annum, causing considerable dis
sension, etc, which calls forth a reply
from one of your correspondents who in
part SAYS: Why should the watchmen of
the government printing office receive a
higher salary than those of other depart
ments?' and cites the case of the watch
ing who receive the same amount, and It
Is said TO work harder, etc. Now, this is the
wrong way to look at such matters, and
especially by the persons complaining. 1t
may be true that the watchmen of the bU-
reau OF engraving and printing work more
days or hours than the watchmen OF the
government printing Office, and perhaps
more than the watchmen in any other de-
partment. and receive the same pay, but
why make the argument that point?
Why not join their fellow watchmen who
salary and work with them for An increase
for all?
Surely the Watchmen Of the government
printing Office are not complaining that the
WatChmen in the bureau of engraving and
printing are getting much they should,
but would no doubt be glad to See them
get more. The man who receives a lower
salary should try to get more, but II is q
poor argument to try to pull his fellOw-man
down TO his level while doing so. When
you are. advocating an increase in your own
salary It is very poor policy to say the
other fellow gets too much. l believe
everybody should have more than they get
