A hentse and tine rah drove away from
S534 North Lawrence street this afternoon
To the eaual observer It meant nothl.ig
more than a funeral a common oceui
rence but to the widowed mother, who
boned with grief clasped a little son t
her breast as the cab tumbled over tli
cobblestones, It seemed almost the end
of hope. And to her nelsthrwrs, who
watched with bared hends tho Boirowful
little procession. It repies. nted u sacrifice
such as onl svmpnth could evoke

Jipoch in IJevelopment of
Navy Yard Secured
After a Strenuous Fight.
Secretary of the Navy Daniel t
the first spadeful of earth marking th
beginning of the bulldlm- of ti,
shlpways at the Philadelphia Nav.
Yard shortly after noon today Th!
ceremonies of "breaking ground" wcf,i
simple, hut Impressive. A touch of color
was added to the s'fcene by the present!

uniform. Hanking them wore the put,
lie officials and an army of working'
nnd spectators. A full marine gVu

Prolonged cheers greeted the Pecrc
tnry of tho Navy as he nccepted th
silver spade from the hands of Captain
Benson, commandant nf the navy yard
nnd with a sturdy stroko tore up th
ground. He turned and passed the spadj'
back. A salute was then fired.
Tho event marked the beginning of
an Important epoch In the history of
the navy yard. From n repair yard It
has now giown to be a bona lido con.
slrucllve yard. Upon these slupwayi
at Ilrat will be constructed vessels for
tho fnlted States Navy-colliers, supply
ships and tinnsports. Later It Is hoped
the mnmmotli battleships which protect
our shot en will bo laid down.
Philadelphia's' navy yard has been un
deniably the foremost navy yard th
country over possessed. Its natural re
sources nnd location make It far supe
rior to all others. The beginning of
the shlpways Is looked upon ns an ac
knowledgment of these facts by the
Xn v Department.
The first vessel to be constructed at tht
yard upon the completion of the ways
will be the naval transport Maumee,
which will cost $1,500,000. The contract
for the transport wns nwnrrletl early In
the spring following competitive bltldlnj
oy nil 1110 naval consliuctors of the va
rious navy yards.
Hundreds of workmen will be given em
ploymont on the shlpways and the trana.
port. They will augment the vast army
ithenOy employed nt tho yard.
Philadelphia's Congressman. I.ogue,
Vine nnd Donohoc, were gronth pi. l.fd
nt the start of tho shlpways. This is the
reward for their Htrenuotis fight In Con
gress. A bitter battle In opposition to
the shlpways was fought by the Con
gressmen from Virginia. They succeeded
In having the $200,000 appropriation for
it stricken from tho naval appropriation
hill, only to be reinserted by action of the
ItepresPiitatlvcs from this city.

which reached Hroad Street Station at
