BABY LEFT IN HALLWAY,
Found at the Woodford Apartments
and Is Cared for by OCCUPANTS.

Several women occupying apartments
at the Woodford, 504 Sd street north
west, last night clothed an unidentified
infant that was found in the hallway
of the apartment by Arthur West, the
colored janitor.
1t was shortly after IL o'clock when
the janitor's attention was attracted to
what appeared to be a bundle of old
clothing I'm the hall. He picked up the
bundle and opened it. and was surpris-
ed to find that it contained a female
child about one week old.
West reported his find to the women
in the apartment, and the latter saw
that the waif was given a supply of
clothing sufficient to protect it from
the cold. They fed the little miss from
a well filled nursing bottle that was
left with the package.
The police of the sixth precinct made
an investigation. They found that the
child was wrapped in a three-quarter-
length serge coat, but there was no
mark on the garment to suggest the
identity of it's owner. The child was
taken to the Washington Hospital for
Foundlings.

New Wharf Built.

wharf between old Glymont and Indian
Head to serve the growing town of

thought that the new line was doing a
paying business, and it's withdrawal
from service is somewhat a surprise.

boat Company, by the deal which was
closed last night. secures wharf leases
at this city and along the river. 1t is
