WRECK REMOVED.
Menace to Navigation in Patapsco
River DESTROYED by Dynamite.

The wreck Of the barge Elizabeth A.
Vane. which was sunk about three weeks
ago in a collision with the steamer CO.
lumbia, in the channel of the Patapsco
river leading to Baltimore. and which
has been an obstruction to navigation,
has been blown up by the United States
engineer officials and nothing remains Of
the vessel but a few timbers that do not
in any way interfere with navigation.
The blowing up of the vessel was accom-
plished Wednesday afternoon.
To destroy the craft the engineers had
a diver place about her 1900 pounds OF
dynamite in boxes containing 90 pounds
each. This was exploded with an cleo
trio spark from a row boat about 1.5OO
feet from the wreck. and the vessel was
literally torn to pieces. the greater por-
ton of which came to the surface and
hoated OF.
The Elizabeth Z. Vane was 17S feet
long, % feet beam and IL feet deep. and
was loaded with 500 tons of crushed
stone. When the collision occurred the
barge was In tow Of the tug Howard
Reeder, and was bound from Lapidum
for Hampton roads. The barge was built
at Elkton. Nd, In 1905, and hailed from
Crisfeld. Nd. The owners Of the barge
were Capt Frederick Hales. the master;

LOSES LAND
GIVEN TO WEST VIRGINIA
Decision Of Commission Appointed
by the United States SUI
preme Court.

AS a result of the decision just reached
by the commission appointed by the Su-
preme Court of the United States to
settle an old controversy over a boundary
line, several thousand persons who
thought they were residents of Mary
land are declared to be living in West
Virginia, and thirty-six square miles OF
valuable land also accrue to West Vir-
ginia.
The report is now before the Supreme
Court for final action, which is expected
at an early date. Samuel S. Gannett of
the United States geological survey, who
was appointed arbitrator commissioner by
the court, and julius K. Monroe. the
West Virginia member, concurred in the
report. but w. McCulloch Brown. the
Maryland commissioner, has filed a mi
nority opinion, backed up by vigorous
protests OF many persons who have been
voting and paying taxes as citizens OF
Maryland for a number of years.
The controversy has been raging in one
form or another since the original grants
to Maryland and Virginia in 1868, and the
entire question hinged on the throe Latin
words lad priman fontem," which mean
1.-The first waters" Early descriptions of
the boundaries of Virginia and Mary
land set forth that the Potomac river,
from its headwaters to it's mouth should
mark the southwestern boundary of
Maryland. The Potomac river branches
near it's source. and there arises the dis
pute, Maryland contending that a long,
narrow stream running into land claimed
by West Virginia is the boundary line.
and West Virginia maintaining a short,
broad stream Is "the first waters OF the
Potomac.

COLD-STORAGE SHIPMENT
FOR GREEN FLY EATERS
To Be Sent to East Africa to Rid
Farms Of Pest Which De-
stroys Wheat.

Green fly parasites will follow Ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt's trail in East Africa.
There will be shipped from the Department
of Agriculture to New York tonight sew
eral broods Of green fly parasites. These
will be rushed in cold storage to London
and there they will be met by crown
agents and sent, also in cold storage, to
British East Africa, where they will be
turned loose to do their worst against
the green fly.
This Is the result of a week spent In
Washington by T. G. Anderson, the en-
tomoIogist of the department of agri-
culture in the British African colony. He
has been the official guest of the Depart
ment of Agriculture here and of DR.. L.
o. Howard. the chief Of the bureau of en-
tomology. This country has made a spe-
cialty Of studying the parasites Of insect
pests. because where 1t is possible to get
a swarm of the parasites to take hold
they will clean out or hold in check an
insect pest better than any amount of
spraying or other sort of human pest
fighting.
In British East Africa they have been
raising wheat right on the equator at an
altitude of 1000 feet. 1t has proved
good wheat country and there were Wis
ions OF opulence among the ranchers until
the green fly took a hand and made the
wheat crop almost a minus quantity. so
Mr. Anderson came over and studied the
method of parasite breeding here. He
remained in Washington a week and Will
start for New York tonight, sailing Satur-
day.
He collected basketful OF the green
fly eaters. The shipment was nicely put
up for him in a cold storage basket that
looks like a lunch hamper. and it VIII be
rushed to the scene of the green ny dif-
ficulty as soon as possible. II the coun-
try proves as good breeding place Ior
the parasites as it has for the green ny
the results will be all that could De
hoped for.

POLICE UNABLE TO FIND
PARENTS OF FOUNDuNGS
Rosy Checked Boys Left on
Doorstep Happy in Their
Ignorance.

Although there have been months of
searching, no trace has been found of the
parents of two chubby. rosy-cheeked
baby boys left last spring on the door
step of the Founding Hospital, 1715 18th
| street northwest. They are in blissful ig-
norance of their condition, while members
of the hospital board are making every
effort to find their relatives.
Despite the failure of the police to OBJ
tain a single cleY to their identity, Miss
Burton, the matron of the hospital, has
not given up the search, fruitless as it
may seem.
1t is not an uncommon occurrence for
remorseful parents to return after sew
eral years and claim the infant they left
in their dependency, and Miss Burton
is confident now in the hope that some
time in the near future these two found
lings will share a like fate.
But Burton Rinker and Charles Freder-
isk May, left in basket and q bundle.
respectively, on the doorstep of the home,
lot if their smiles and babyish gurglings
display their own state of mind.
Il wouldn't part with them for any
thing in the world. nor would any of us"
declared Miss Burton, but, of-course.. If
we find their parents we will try to
make them provide for. their little sons
In case they do not they will stay here
at the hospital until they are six years
old, when they will be sent to school,"
Boy Called the easter Egg"
Burton Rinker is called the Easter
Egg" at the hospital because he was left
by his parents on the doorstep late Easter

renee at the time, and his discovery at
the hospital caused momentary excite
ment Late in the night the telephone
rang. Hello" said a voice over the
wire. IF you look on your doorstep you
will find a baby boy In a basket. Please
take good care Of him. The wire was
cut of without another word. Miss Bur-
ton was quickly summoned, but not
sign was seen of the baby until a faint
wall issued from the basement steps.
There on the steps, done up warmly in
little basket. was Burton Rinker. That
was not his name then, but when it was
found that his identity could not be
learned he was called Burton after the
matron and Rinker after Miss Rinker, the
head nurse. Burton Rinker. scarcely
eight months old. seems perfectly willing
to keep his name, although he has never
been christened under it.
His little mate Is not as old as. Burton,
for he was left on the doorstepS, done up
neatly in a brown paper bundle. wrapped
in q shawl only, last May, tiny, help
less baby three or four hours old. Now
he is a sturdy little youngster, almost
able to crawl, and bears the name of
Charles Frederick May, surnamed after
the month in which he was born.
In the meantime, while the youngsters
are growing from babyhood into child
hood, the hospital board Is on q vigilant
lookout for their parents. But so secretly
were they abandoned that there is not q
single clew on which to work, and today
it seems that the two little babies will
remain at the home Of their foster par
ents for several years.
