WON'T NAME HIS FRIENDS.
Aged Man Refuses to Tell Judge
Who He Is.

Daniel Farrell, a decrepit-looking old
man in long coat and with snowy white
hair and beard, has been detained by the
authorities for several days. The police
picked him up hoping to find a home for
him. Farrell has resolutely refused to
discuss his identity.
Mr. Massie, agent of the Prisoners Aid
Society, found out that Farrell is supposed
to have a wealthy sister here. Judge
Kimball has tried his best to get Farrell
to tell where he belonged, but without
avail. The old man said at a previous
hearing that he had come from Buffalo
and was ON his way to Tampa, Fla. He
told the judge yesterday that he wanted
some place to go, and would like to enter
the Soldiers Home here, but failed to
show any military service.
Il want to send you to a home, but you
do not belong here and l cannot burden
the District with your support Tell me
where your friends are and l will try to
send you to Them.
The old man raised his shaking head
and flashed a steely look at the judge.
Il won't go back to any friends 1 ever
had he said
And all the judge could do in the case
was to put the old man under 500 bond,
which means sixty days in the workhouse
unless he can get the money.

ELECTED FROM HOME.
Family of Fishhawks Dispossessed
by Lighthouse Workmen.

vigorous protest against being de-
spoiled of their home is being made by a
family consisting of Mr.. and hrs. Fish
hawk and several young Fishhawks, who
have been ousted from their dwelling in
the big day beacon on Metompkin shoal
on the lower river The lighthouse men
are engaged in transforming the beacon
into one that will be of service on dark
nights. 1t has at its top a large circular
chamber with walls Of strips of steel The
F1shhawk family without leave or license
from the United States government
which owned the premises. several years
ago took possession of the property and
has continued to occupy it every sum-
mer since that time. Steamboat men
passing up and down the river have seeh
members of the family going i'm and out
of the round chamber and have wondered
at their holiness in squatting on public
property almost in sight of the capital.
The F1shhawks were not dismayed and
stuck TO their residence until about two
weeks ago, when representatives of the
United States lighthouse service appeared
on the scene and in the name of the
United States government demanded
peaceful possession of the property.
The Observation-Disclosures. mother and
young ones-were disposed to resist but
the lighthouse men, without waiting to re-
sort to legal formality, seized the birds
by the tai! and threw them bodily out of
the dwelling. with all their household
paraphernalia. and in the round chamber
established light to guide mariners on
the Potomac.
Realizing that they had no legal rights
to the premises. the Fishhawks, after en-
tering their protest against the whole pro-
ceeding. left to seek home at some other
convenient point along the Potomac. The
worst part of the whole affair is that the
lighthouse service men are not at all per-
turbed by the methods they used to eject
the unfortunate Fishhawk family from its
home.

SHOULD WORK BOTH WAYS.
Variation in Quantity of Canned
Foods Discussed.

A meeting of the food manufacturers of
the country with the pure food board was
held at the Department of Agriculture
yesterday afternoon. There were present
representatives of cheese manufacturers OF
Chicago. the American Association of
Cheese and Butter Makers, the Ohio spice
manufacturers and number of manufac-
turers of glass bottles, tin cans and other
food containers
DIR. Wiley addressed the meeting, saying
he did not want to assume that any of
the food manufacturers were trying to de-
fraud their customers, but that while 1t
was manifestly impossible to always have
the weight or volume of a food container
exactly accurate, he thought If there was
to be variation 1t might be occasionally
in favor of the customer and not always
in favor of the manufacturer
Several of the manufacturers of food
products spoke, and all of them declared
that it was not their intention to defraud
the customers. or jobbers, but that goods
put up accurately at the factory were very
apt to lose some weight through evapOra-
ton or shrinkage before getting into the
hands of the consumer.
1t was explained by DR.. Wiley that the
provisions of the law were perfectly clear,
and that all that was wanted WAS to pro-
tect the consumer and at the same time to
be fair to the manufacturer.

Paint

The naval tugs attached to the Wash
ington ordnance foundry and used in
towing barges, on which are big guns for
naval ships. between this city and the
Indian Head naval proving grounds. have
made their appearance in new colors.

Gently the tugs have had their hulls paint
ed a glistening black. with buff upper

now better looking than they were with
white hulls. The tugs Tecumsed. Tri-
ton and Choctaw are the local vessels that
have been repainted. but 1t is stated that

weeks steady work will be required to
complete the rebuilding of the wall
