ISLAND IN RIVER
To BE BUILT

An allotment of $4,000 for
the development under the super
vision of the Arlington Memorial
Bridge Commission of Columbia
Island, located in the Potomac
River, was today approved by
Acting Secretary of War Payne
The use of Columbia Island
will result in an economical
handling of the material dredged
from the channel. If the island
is not used, the material must
be transported three miles down
stream and rehandled, which
would have to be undertaken by
a different type of plant from
that now in use, with a consider
able increase in cost.

ALL A MISTAKE,
SAYS TAMPAN
CAPTURED
Two Women Said to Identify
Him as RifIing Pocketbooks
Before Chase Through Hall

Conflicting stories were told by
guests and employees of the Pow
hatan Hotel regarding alleged
prowlings in Railways and rooms
early today. William Landerus
Curry, 10, of Tampa, Fla, floor
polish salesman. who is a minor
ity of one in upholding his YER
sion. is locked up at the First
precinct.
Curry. a guest at the hotel last
night, is held for investigation in
connection with two reported rob-
berries.
Miss Mabel o. Anderson, Of
Duluth. and Miss Mary v. Lewis,
Of Moose Lake, Mimi, identified
him, police say, as the man whom
they said entered their room
early today and took a pocket
book from the top of a bureau,
rifled another pocketbook, and
took a wrist watch.
Bellboy Chased Him
Grafton Anderson, a bellboy,
told police he chased Curry
down the fifth floor hallway and
that the latter took refuge in a
washroom. He was held by hotel
employees until Detectives James
A. Springmann and Michael j.
Dowd arrived in response to q
call from the management.
The detectives said they found
an automatic pistol in Curry's
automobile, parked near the
hotel, and that they also took
from him a small flashlight
shaped like a fountain pen.
Curry claims, according 10 his
captors, that he made the &C
quaintance of a young woman
guest of the hotel, and that she
had asked him to call at her
room early this morning so that
they might chat together and eat
breakfast.
He was trying to locate the
room, he alleges. when all the
trouble began happening.
POcketbOOk Found
The pocketbook of Miss Ander.
son, with the money missing, po
lice say, was found on a stairway
between the fourth and fifth
floors. This, they claim, was in
the line of Curry's flight when the
bellboy was chasing him. Miss An.
derson's wrist watch was not
found. The pocketbook which was
rifled belonged to Miss Lewis.
Police say that a sum approx
mately equal to the amount con-
tanned in both purses was found
on Curry.

The report as adopted by the

Agreement Fails
"The District bin has been in

than q month, and, after re-
peat meetings, the managers
on the part Of the Senate and

reach any agreement.
'The House bill contains &c.

difference seems impossible.
In view Of the lOng-standing

the action taken yesterday by

Adoption of this resolution
means that irrespective of the

Advice to LOvelOrn
By Beatrice Fairfax
He Loses His Nerve

He Loses His Nerve
DEAR MRS. FAIRFAX:
I am 81 and deeply in love
with a girl who lives next door
to me. I go to her house often
and I certainly enjoy myself
when I'm with her. 1 can feel
it in my heart that I care for
her. When we are alone I
know I have something to tell
her. But somehow I lose my
nerve. I would like to take her
to a show or out riding, but she
isn't allowed to go. I'm sure
that she does care for me a
little. She goes to school and
seems to like it. Will you
please tell how I can tell her
I love her without losing my
nerve. LEE.
If you continue to make those
enjoyable visits to your charm
ing neighbor you will be able to
tell her that you care for her
when the time comes, without
advice from me or anyone else.
With certain young people-and
they are usually of fine type
there are stages of shyneSS to
