WORKED POCkETBOOk GAME
COLORED MAN EASY MARK FOR
CLEVER SWINDLERS.
Hands Over $13 Good Money for
Fat Roll of Cassie Cash
They Pretend to Find.

1t was easy money that two col
ored men got from Raymond Johnson
near 14th and r streets yesterday after
| noon, and when Johnson realized he had
been duped he called on the police and
asked that they make an effort to find
the pair of swindlers. Johnson, who is
colored, lives at 2223 Sth street north
west. Yesterday afternoon he was walk
ing near 14th and r streets, when a col
ored man jabbed him in his side and
called his attention to a third colored
man who was about to pick up a pocket
book.
The stranger who had accosted john
son made an apparent effort to fall upon
the pocketbOok about the time his con-
federate picked it up, and the two en-
gagged In wordy war about who should
reap the benefit of the find, Johnson not
suspecting anything wrong and trying to
play the part of peacemaker.
Suppose we see what's in the pocket
book" suggested one of the men.
The book was opened, and what ap-
peared to Johnson to be five SO bills
were seen, and after the men had en-
gagged in protracted dispute and had
apparently been on the verge OF COM
ing to blows. one of them suggested
that Johnson take the pocketbook and
give them what cash he had in his
pocket.
A second suggestion was not necessary.
Johnson was so delighted at the idea of
getting all the money there was in the
pocketbook that he emptied his pocket
of $13 and surrendered it to the men, who
quickly disappeared
When Johnson realized that he had
only the sO-called Cassie Chadwick
money he sought the assistance of the
police. He was able to give a descrip-
ton OF the men, but could give no other
clue to their identity.

SWIMMING IN THE HARBoR.
Basin Not the Only Place Where
the Bows Have Fun.

Swimming in Washington is not confined
to the swimming basins under the shadow
OF the Washington Monument but devo-
tees of the sport can be found almost any
day swimming in the harbor from the vari-
Gus wharves. The favorite bathing places
in the harbor seem to be from the lumber
wharves about the foot of 9th street
southwest, but the boys go in at other
Wharves, wherever the occupants of the
premises are good-natured enough not to
stop them.
This deep-water swimming is developing
good swimmers among the youngsters,
and 1t is not at all uncommon for boys
hardly In their teens to jump into the
water, swim across the harbor and back
again without apparent fatigue. Some,
more ambitious, will swim the length of
the harbOr and return to the starting
point. AS for diving and doing other
stunts in the water, the Washington boy
is the equal of the boys Of any city In the
country. Turning somersaults in the air
before going head or feet first into the
water, making backward dives and diving
head first from high places are some OF
the more common stunts done by the boys,
but even more difficult feats are attempted
and accomplished. The bathing season
lasts as long as the air is warm, and on
balmy days even late in the fall, after
there has been good cold weather and
there is considerable chill in the water,
boys can be seen swimming in the harbor,
SO fond are they of the sport.

Transfer of Ocean Mail.

Since the establishment of the ocean
mail transfer service in New York har-
bor, in 1907, it has grown to such great
Importance that a new boat will be put
into service within a few months. The
mail tender known as the Postmaster
General has been used exclusively to
meet the incoming European ocean liners
at quarantine since the service was in
augurated, getting the mail and trans
ferring ii to the city several hours be-
fore the ships have been docked. The
number of new ocean liners added to the
European service has made 1t impossible
so another boat, the John Lenox, was
brought into service last month. This
will help make the transfers until the
new boat is completed. When the new
boat is ready for service, all liners carry
ing mail from South America as well
European ports will be met at quaran-
tine and relieved of their mail.

BATTLES WITH A DOG.
Fkrmer Badly Bitten by Animal
Supposed to Be Mad.

Charles Whalen, resident of Mont
gomery county. Nd, had a desperate
encounter with a supposed mad dog yes
terday afternoon while returning home
in a wagon with his son. Mr.. Whalen,
who formerly lived in Georgetown, was
driving home from market, the dog fol-
lowing, and was near the Little Falls
road when the animal showed evidences
of having gone mad.
: The animal grabbed the farmer by the
ear, and It was with some difficulty that
he succeeded in shaking it off. While
he was engaged In the struggle Whalen
called to his son to leap from the We
hicle and seek a place of safety. The
boy jumped from the wagon and climbed
to the top Of a post and rail fence, the
dog following and trying to attack him.
Several efforts were made by the dog
to bite the boy, but the latter succeeded
in kicking it off, and finally the animal
ran away. Whalen. whose ear had been
badly bitten, returned to the city and
went to the Georgetown University Hos
pital, where his wound was cauteriZed.
Later he went to the seventh precinct
police station to report the incident,
thinking the animal might attack some
other person. Poundmaster Einstein was
summoned to hear the statement, and
later he accompanied the Maryland man
to the country to make an effort to To-
cate the dog.

has been arranged for Cossa Gingales, a
visitor to Washington from the faraway
shores of Chile, in South America. Co.'S

became one Of the many hundreds who
are personally conducted by Judge
kimball
Cossa is not a special representative
sent here by one of the great corpora
tions of Chile. He is merely a sailor,
and just wandered into the port Of the
"Peepuls City" His desire to study
American methods was not at all vol
untary. Judge Kimball Is the agent
who gave him the impulse.
Cossa and the judge became acquaint-
ed when Cossa was hailed into court
yesterday, charged with being a vagrant,
"a person lettering on the street, without
visible means of support, ETC." Cossa
can speak very little English. but he man.
aged to explain that he was a sailor and
came here to see the sights. Judge KIM
ball readily filled in the rest of the ex-
PLANTATION. Cossa would have been all
right If he had not adopted a curb stone
as his only visible means of support.
Upon this substantial though cold and
unyielding couch he was waited to sweet
dreams last night. but he was rudely
awakened by policeman.
