Now Tomnson gave up the ghost
At his house In Berkeley square,
| And spirit stood by his bedside
| And sripped him by the hair.
spirit grlpped him by the hair
And carried him far away
| TIL he heard the roar
| TomlinsOn was most unfortunate soul
| neither good enough for heaven nor bad
enough for hell, SO Kiping said, and there
were probably reasons for the spirit grab
| bling him by the hair. But when a spook
| appears in the National capital scares an
! unoffendng family and defes the police
! department. even the versatile Rudyard K
| might be expected to fall down on his lob
| II he attempted to find reason for the
visitation.
Washington has developed really. truly
| ghost story. 1t is one of the sort to send
! apprehensive shivers up and down the spi-
| nal columns of superstitious ones. and even
! the increduous Mr.. Weisenheimer has been
! compelled to sit I'D and take. notice. The
| restless. disemboded spirit has caused a
| vertable panic in the family of Mrs. Clara
| Bowling. They are in peck of trouble
| and the vicinity of 18th and \ streets
| northwest is in a turmoil.
A local medium has corroborated the story
| of the Dowlings that their house is inbad-
| tied by spirits. The medium has declared
| that the one wish of the spirit is to have
| the Dowlings move away. and before the
sun has set this evening they will have
| all their bag and baggage, 10 a more peace
| full neighborhood.
They'll Move Away, Quick.
| The Dowlings had leased the 10Th street
| house for year, and mad paid s65 for the
| first months rent in advance, but they
| were more than willing to lose that amount
and to again go through with the trouble
! of moving to get away from the scene OF
| their annOyances. Anyhow. the medium ad-
| vised them that the ghost simply desired
/ to be left in undisturbed possession of
/ the house.
| All of today. since the story became pub
| lie. the 18th street house has been besieged
| by curious ones. and scores of people were
| anxious merely to gaze upon the scene of
| the spirits peregrina tons. The medium was
among the early arrivals. and she ex-
| pressed the greatest desire to remain in the
| house toi:-s.t on the chance of communing
with the spiritual presence. incidentally
| the real estate agent was exceedingly wroth
| that the ghost should have yentured on the
premises.

COCKTAILS CAN'T GET
Up TO STEVENS PACE
FORMER CHIEF ENGINEER OF THE
CANAL IN MAKING RECORD
FOR CANAL DID SLiP-SHOD
WORK.

Washington. April H.-tSpecial.)- RE
ports are being circulated in army cir
eles that former chief engineer of the
canal John f. Stevens. has prepared to
put the army engineers, who have charge
of the canal, in a very bad light, owing
TO reports which he has made with refer
ence to the amount of excavation ac-
eomplished on the canal.
Stevens states in his last report that in
March he excavated over eight hundred
thousand cubic yards and that it would
soon be possible to average one million
yards. Colonel Goethals Is understood
to have already reported to the depart
ment that these figures, instead of rep
resenting the actual work done, are based
upon estimates of the capacity of the
steam shovels, and how much work they
should preform per diem
The colonel is also said to have for
warded to the department o profile sur
vey tending to show haw much of the dirt
has been dumped in wrong places and
will have to be removed again, the pur
pose being to make a record regardless
of the ultimate effectiveness of the work.
Army officers do not see how Goethals
with his present equipment can keep up
with the hot one million cubic yards pace
predicted for him by Stevens. The re-
suit, it Is feared, puts Goethals In for
invious comparisons.
