FIGURE GOOD, ALL RIGHT.
Maybe, IL you are a dainty. petite,
dashing widow who never did any
harm to anyone in the world or an
honest-to-goodness business man. you
would not be embarrassed.
But that is just what happens to
every person arrested In Washington
for stealing and committing various
other offenses here.
They are paraded before the de-
tectives so they will be known il seen
again, and are photographed, meas
ured and finger-printed for the police
records-so they can be identified
later IL wanted and they go wrong.
1t frequently happens that an old
time crook turns up at police head
quarters where all this happens to
the lawbreaker. And the old-time
detectives who saw him paraded
years before will identify him even
should the crook give an assumed
name.
OLD TIMER RECOGNIZED.
Only a week ago. a man who had
been arrested for a burglary ten
years ago turned up in the mob
paraded before the detectives. He
gave an assumed name. One OF the
detectives remembered having seen
him. Thinking back, the detective
was able to recall his name and the
offense he had committed.
Seeing he was trapped. the man
confessed his true identity. In the
rogue's gallery his picture, measure
ments and fngerprints were found.
He had just been released from peni-
Tertiary for the former ofrense. This
record will be used against him
when he Is brought to trial within
the next few weeks.

DENNY EXPECTED TO
SAVE c. & 0. CANAL
Probably Will Decide Today to
Keep on Sending Navy
Coal by Waterway.

Plans for the continued use Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal by th'
Navy Department. which will result
In re-opening the canal soon. probably
will be announced soon by Secretary
of the Navy DENLY.
For several weeks the Secretary has
had before him the problem of send
ing navy coal to Indian Head by rail
or water The canal has handled IL
for several years and has drawn from
1t a large percentage OF it's revenues,
but 1t Is understood that this spring
a cheaper price was obtained on Yves,
Virginia fuel which would require rail
shipment.
Indications are, however. that the
Secretary's decision will be such that
the canal will continue to operate and
obtain a fair share OF transportation
from the Navy Department. As re-
suit OF claims that the withdrawal
of the navy's business from the canal
would practically put the waterway
out OF commission, Secretary DENLY
referred the matter to the general
navy board.
In making it's recommendations, the
board took up the military value OF
the canal, and the fact that the Gov
eminent had an original investment
in IL of more than a million dollars
and at the present time owns ten
barges which are operated over the
waterway. The board has completed
its report which II has submitted to
Secretary DENLY.
The canal was to have opened or
March %, but failure to obtain the
Navy contract resulted in a cancella.
ton of the plans
The Merchants and Manufacturers
Association Of Washington, the Cham.
Der of Comerce of berland, and
practically the entire Maryland dele.
cation in Congress have petitioned Sec
rotary DENLY to continue the Nays
support OF the canal, without which
ii is claimed, 1t would have to shut
down.
