KATAHDIN STILL SUBMERGED
Attempts to Raise Sunken Ram Are
50 Far EutiIe.

Reports brought by vessel masters who
came up the river Friday and yesterday
morning indicate that little change has
taken place in the situation of the United
States naval ram katahdin, which was
sunk by a shot from Indian Head during
armor-plate and gun tests last week.
The Katahdin is lying a short distance
above the new government wharf at
Stump Neck, Nd, and big pumps on
lighters and the pumps of two of the
navy yard tugs are endeavoring to clear
her of water.
The task seems to be a difficult one as
the vessel was from last reports still ly-
ing with the greater part Of her hull sub
merged, although the tugs have been work
ing on her for week or longer. When
the vessel is brought to the surface, re-
ports say, she will be brought to the
navy yard here. to be hauled out to close
the hole made in her by the Indian Head
shot. The vessel lies III about twelve or
fifteen feet of water on the lower side of
Mattawoman creek, out of the way of
vessels passing up or down the river.

THIS PICKANINNY HONEST,
Restored Gold Watch, and Owner
Gave Liberal Reward.

"F'indin's keepins is by-word with
many a small boy, but it wasn't part of
the philosophy of James Ward colored,
fourteen years DID, when he picked up a
solid gold watch on the sidewalk the
other day. James was, of course, glad
TO find the watch, but he was equally de-
termined to find the owner. Yesterday
evening Leroy Kisner of 1907 AZ street,
who lost the timepiece, recovered his
property and James Ward left police
headquarters with three crisp dollar bills,
a dozen car tickets, a nickel watch and
a broad smile.
James felt that he was pretty lucky,
and Mr.. kisner was equally pleased with
the outcome of the incident, while De
tective Kleindienst, who aided the boy
in finding the owner of the watch, con-
graduated him on his honesty.
II read the papers to find out who lost
the watch and when / didn't see any
thing about it, l came and told the po-
lice" said James, as he started off to
his home at 90 Canal street to show his
parents the money and his new nickel
watch.
Mr. kisner had been summoned to po-
lice headquarters TO identify the watch.
and he agreed with the detectives that
the boy who found 1t was entitled to a
good reward, both for his honesty and
for the intelligent manner In which he
found the owner.
