Agitation for public wharf, one at
which vessels independent of railway
lines can discharge cargoes at, Is be-
Ing agitated by prominent citizens, due
to the desire upon the part Of mer-
chants to have the Philadelphia line
of steamers touch at this port. The
City Council Is being urged to make an
appropriation sufficient to construct a
wharf extending far Iut into the bay
and where a sufficient depth of water
will be secured to guarantee the moor
ing of any size vessel. At present ves-
sells entering are required to either
moor at some private dock or else at
the wharves Of the Louisville and
Nashville. The city owns large
amounts of valuable waterfront prop
erty and several desirable sites exist
where good wharves could be con-
structed. At present the only city
wharves operated are those for small
vessels and for which no charge is
made.

Look for Chinaman.

Police oficers. following the state
ment OF City Detective Ray and Dep
uty United States Marshal Miller. that
they had seen a Chinaman in the city
last week answering to the description
of Leon Ling. the New York murderer.
today made a round up of the China
men In the city but without any re-
suits. The Cinnamon visited declared
they had neither, heard of or seen a
strange man In the city, ana officers
have about come to the conclusion that
the man with whom the officers talked
was q steward aboard some of the
steamers coming into port. Many OF
the foreign vessels coming here have
either laps or Cinnamon as stewards,
and 1t Is possible that the officers mis-
took a Jap for the New York murder
er. The only connection brought out
by the investigation was the statement
of the baggage master at the union
station that he checked trunk for a
Chinaman of whom he paid but little
attention, to New Orleans some time
during the latter portion OF last week.

that this was the first time for this

encouragement can not be given the

the writer sees their efforts and good
intentions TO serve and can see how
by a little more coacning these
Spumpkins boys will be able to put
the Y. NJ. C. A. boys In the darkest
shade. They need variety In their
literary productions. The program
was rendered by the following per
sons: Mr.. Fred Clark, who played an
artistic and original piano selection.
and paper by Mr.. Fred Anderson.
which was very good for his first ef-
fort. as wonderful future can be
seen in Mr.. 'Anderson's intellectual
capacity. This was followed by clos
ing piano selection by Miss Rhode
Anderson. who always pleases. and
whom the audience compelled TO play
an encore. The quartet failed to ap-
pear In full. These boys need to be
congratulated on their organization
and their willingness to assist in lit
erary matters. Come again. boys.
