in Search for Son.
Thomas F. Gogarty, who Is a constable
at Windsor Locks, Conn.,. called at police
headquarters last night and asked In
spector Boardman to interest the local
police in search for his son. John F.
Gogarty. thirty-two years OF age He
last heard from his son in this city more
than two years ago, he stated. since
which time letters addressed to him at
the general delivery have been returned.
MY son was an exemplary young
man." said the father, land his mother Is
almost crazy about him. John did not
use tobacco or intoxicants and he always
attended to his religious duties. He was
a member Of the knights OF Columbus.
Foresters and Hibernians."
Mr.. Gogarty stated that his son came
to this city about four years ago and
was employed by construction company
as bookkeeper. The young man always
had his mail sent to the general delivery.
He told his parents that he was employed
several miles from the city and that he
only came to town about once week.
About two and half years ago." said
his father, two letters sent here were
promptly returned, and since then sew
eral efforts have been made to get In
communication with him, but without
success" The young mans parents have
no idea where he has gone or what has
become of him. They fear he has met
with an accident and has died, for they
do not believe he would remain away
from home so long time without COM
municatng with them.
After calling upon Inspector Boardman
Mr.. Gogarty called to see members of the
several fraternal organizations with
which his son was connected, hoping the
young man had left some word with

o,BRIEN FILES PROTEST.
Inventors Association President oh
iects to DESTROYING Models.

jects to Destroying Models.
Joseph J. O'Brien. president of the In
ternational Association Of Inventors. has
written to Secretary Garfield letter Of
protest against the proposal to destroy
certain of the models Of inventions in the
patent office. The models, Mr.. O'Brien
says, cover the whole field of American
industry during the past century. and by
reason Of the expiration of patents. are
practically all public property.
A commission was appointed and an
amendment to the legislative appropria-
ton bill was passed to provide for an ex-
act determination of. what models in the
patent office may be of possible benefit
TO the patentees or OF historical value.
The models to be saved are to be housed
in the new museum building and all
others destroyed. There are now $4,000
models in the patent office.
Secretary Garfield has not made public
his letter to Mr. O'Brien.
Part of Mr.. O'Brien's letter is as fol-
lows:
Destroy the models and you destroy
the means by which the public can OBJ
tain knowledge of their property and es-
tablish a precedent for destroying other
records. What inventor will grant any
one the right to annul his rights or weak
en- the value Of his patent properties?
Ine patent RECORDS eStaOilSn priority,
and on priority all patents are based.
Why should records be destroyed and
dangerous uncertainties be placed around
existing patent rights? Who is to benefit
by the destruction of any model, how
ever worthless it may be?
"Why this haste to destroy records of
human initiative that never have cost
the nation cent, and now cost the in
ventors only Is cents year on the aver
age? Surely. no one desires to establish
an irregular standard of fixing priority.
The inventors must meet the question"

NAVY YARD ASKS SQUARE DEAL
EAST WARRINGTON CITIZENS
ENTER PROTEST.
Object to Transfer Of Work for
Washington Gun Shops to
Bethlehem.

President Roosevelt has received from
the East Washington Citizens Associa-
tion q protest against the proposed diver
sion of certain ordnance work from the
Washington navy yard to private estab-
lishments In Pennsylvania and else
where.
The protest is signed by Thomas w.
Smith. president. and M. I. Weller. Sec
rotary of the organization.
The complaint is in the form Of reso-
lutons unanimously adopted by the ex-
ecutive committee. In part they declare:
1.-THE bold attempt is now being made
by interested parties from South Bethle-
hem to deprive our skilled mechanics
working at the Washington gun factory
of steady employment, virtually prom
Used to them by the Navy Department,
when Congress at its last session inserted
an appropriation for the construction of
the battleships. ETC.. and, whereas the
depression in the steel industry at Beth
lehem and elsewhere is deplored by every
one. still 1t must also be conceded that
the distress prevailing in that community
should not be lessened at the sole expense
Of the expert Washington mechanics en-
gagged In the manufacture Of ordnance re-
quired to equip our vessels Of war, the
defenders Of the nations honor.
1.-THE victories at Manila and Santiago
furnlShed the brilliant evidence OF the Su-
perior ability Of the men who made the
guns who are Just as necessary for our
protection as the men behind the guns;
it should be borne in mind that the ma
jority of our workmen have been spe-
cially trained for this particular labor at
this factory. where so many have served
their apprenticeship"
The executive committee therefore re-
solved that:
1T appeals to the sense of justice of
our esteemed President to protect the
laboring men employed at the Washing
ton gun factory from being deprived Of
the adequate opportunity to earn an hon.
est living for themselves. their wives and
little ones. and who now in their help

WEIRD CARGO FOR THE zoo.
Unique Specimens Coming to Wash
ington From South America.

Camels that chew tobacco. eagles that
drink half bucket Of blood a day, and
camels without hump were some Of
the creatures described in a dispatch
from Boston as part of "a weird cargo
of animals and birds consigned to the
national geological park in this city
which arrived at the Hub Friday
The dispatches explained how it became
necessary for the vessel on which the
creatures were shipped from the Argen-
tine republic to carry along a herd of
sheep, lone of. which was killed daily to
furnish the blood drinks for the eagles,
and~several bales OF tobacco for the six
vicunas to chew.
When the foregoing dispatch was shown
to officials Of the zoo by Star reporter
they laughed long and heartily. One of
them said facetiously the new duty of
supplying fresh blood for the blood-drink-
ing eagles and tobacco for the animals
would certainly be novelty.
As a matter OF fact, an official said, the
shipment consists of one condor, four
crested screamers, a Iong-legged bird
which carries its screech with it, two
armadillos and two vicunas, an animal
somewhat like the llama.
