PRICE OtfE oekt PASSING OF ROAGH SHIPYARD ENDS ITS TROUBLED HISTORY eL ft e 11 Y wr tt 1 JheniT ociis riant wnicn Furnished Many Vessels to United States Navy and Merchant Marine. "Going, going, gone" These woids and the bang of the Sheriff's hammer Hounded the death knell today of one of the landmarks that has made the port of Philadelphia Internationally famous. The words marked the passing of the shipbuilding plant established more than 40 years ago by John Koach at Chester It was sold at a Sheriff's sale at 10 'dock this morning. The sale marked the fifth financial re Terse the plant, consisting of 2v acre of land, shlpways, machinery and other qulpment. has had since its inaugura tion In 1ST! But It Is believed that this famous old shipyard will never Again "come back" as It has done previously. FINANCIAL VICISSITUDES. John Koach, founder of the company, opened the way for this country to build warships unsurpassed by any other na tion and blazed the trail for the estab lishment of the now nil-powerful steel industry. His financial vicissitudes are history. His plant went Into the hands of a receiver upon four occasions, but always managed to struggle back to a paying basis. Before tloaeh took over the plant It was known as the Rnlner shipyard. After Roach's death his son, John B. Koach, operated the shipyard It later became the Delaware River Iron Ship and Engine Building Company, and as such failed four years aso HUNDREDS OF IRON SHIPS. One hundred and fourteen lion vessels were constructed under the Roach man agement. Nearly 3v were completed later. Among them were vessels which proudly fly the American flag today. Many of the AVard Line vessels wero built there, a were a. number of steamships for thr Ocean Stenmshlp Company of Sa vannah. The Persian, Quantlco and Lexington were built for th" latter com pany They now ply to and from this port In the Merchants and Miners' Transpoi tatlon Company's service. Th Harvard and Vale, Long Island Sound steamships, and the American and Ha waiian, pioneer essols of the American Hawaiian Line, were also built upon the fchlpivuvs sold by th Sheriff today. The City of Saannah. constructed for th Ocean Steamship Company, completed seven years ago. was the last big steam ship to usi- these ways. Shipping men reran nle days when as many as 10 vessels under construc tion at one time were to be seen at RonLlt's The work done at the plant did muih to earn tho appellation of the 'Clyde of America" for the Delaware River A famous old clipper ship, th Tillle V. Starbuck, was on of the first vessel ever built at these yards BIRTH OF NEW NAVV. The fame of Roach's shipyard is as closel.v aligned with the growth of our navy as it Is with the history of th merchant marine. Some of Uncle Sam's first Iron ships were turned out by John Roach. The gunboats Alert, Huron. Chicago, Atlanti. Bennington, Boston. Concord and Puritan were completed under his direction. In Jvt the Hccic-tarv of the Navy called for bids on four csds. the Atlanta. Boston, Chicago and Dolphin. Roach was one of the bidders He then owned in ad dition to the shlpyaid, the Morgan Iron AVorks and a steel making plant at Thur lon, mst above cne-ster. His bid amazed other shipbuilders and the Navy Depart ment It was $31.iOri) below the next low- (t bidder and $774,100 li. low the estimate Of the Advisoiy Board. Roach had found, by HXperimcnts, he could produce tee! of required quality at a prlco lower than bin cnmpotltniH could .

There Is a black bear doing police duty In Kddlnston. Pa. Eddlngton does not know Just what to think of Its force, but some persons, espe cially the children, are enthusiastic over It. Others regard the force with suspi cion, but all treat It with the greatest re spect, tt weighs in the neighborhood of 20fl pounds nud has a mighty punch In cither paw The bear was sent to D C. Hanna, manager of the Philadelphia Pure Rye Distilling Company, from the Mnlne woods as a Joke. But the bear was no Joke. Mr. Hnntia decided that as n little pet nt his home. 4JC2 Pnrkslde avenue, a bear would not be a lilt among the neigh bors. He recntled that he was In need of a night watchman at his plant, so he named the bear "Boss" and gave him the Job. The distillery covers ncnrl 20 acres of land, and "Boss ' patrols all that. At night his headquarters are In the corn pans 'a offices. Bor l six months old and alreadv Is as large as a Newfoundland dog. He has nn amiable disposition and playR with the cats of the distillery, but he has nn In herited nveislon to dogs. Rocks, the bull iloc at the plant, he chases, nnd Malt, the lrih terrier, he Ignores. It was decided yesterday that a bath would not hurt Bo.s. What Is more, the bath was deemed almost Imperative. Cap tain Albert tjuigley and John Hart, Clov ernment otllcers detailed at the distillery, and John Rlgbev, the engineer, escorted Boss to a pond on the company's prop erty. Boss waded In one side of the pond and out the other and disappeared In the underbrush. Captain Quiglcy, Hart and Rlgb gave pursuit. NEGRO IN A Hl'RRY Tt was an hour later that they met a Negro walking along one of the roads He was looking anxiously over his shoul der and walking as if In a hun.. "Ah you lookln' fo' a dog. ah maghty big dm'" asked tho Negro "We are looking for a bear," returned the rescue party. "Mnh goodness m. dat was him. dat was him." esclaimed the Negro, and ho hutrled along without further explana tion. Boss was found a mile further on. He hod locafd the Delaware River and was having a swim Rib Rlgbey called him and tho bear came ashore. He climbed a tree and there he stayed until he was dry. Many a bear has had a man up a tree, literally and figuratively. Now "Boss" was up a tree. Most of the duv the bear Is chained to a shed a foot from the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks, nnd passenger." on the New Vork trains can get a glimpse of him. Oftentimes they rub their ees and try to take nnothr look The trains run too fast at thN point for sight-seeing nnd it is probable that most passengers think their eyes have plaed them a trick It was different with the tiack Impec tor's trnln on the New- York division He saw the bar yesfrd.n, stopped his train and had It hacked up to get a sec ond look. Then he climbed out of his observation rnr and made Boss' ac quaintance Both seemed to be pleased at the meeting. BOSS HAS A TENDER NOSE. Rlgbey Is the man to whom Boss shows the mofct respect Ftlgbey is not afraid of a bear, but ituss did not know that at first Boss nipped Klgbey on the hand He may have been joking In a bearlesh wav. but Rlgbey did not ap preciate the humor He slapped the bear on the tip of the nose, nnd If there Is one thing which disgusts n boar nnd takes tho fighting ambition out of him It is just this Mr. Hunna is certain that Boss will make good as u watchman. He sleeps just as well as anv watchman nt night, hut he has this ndvnntuge it tnkes verv little to awaken him He got up Inst night because a mouse In running across the office floor made too much no'ge That mouse will never run cigain.

Dlsturbeis of the peace will no longer he taken to the lock-up In the latest Improved tour ing car. Beginning Monday they will have to be content to go In an ordinary patrol. When tho ofTlclnl wagon wan put out of business several weeks ngo by an nt cldcnt. Fire Marshal William Coupe, who Is an ardent Germantown citizen, Imme diately offered his nutomoblle. Those who arc In a hnblt of coming tn the police station ever Saturday Immediately spread the noB, nnd very Boon the po lice had more petty offenders than ever. It was nollccablc, too, that the driver took the riders to the station house In a roundabout way, Incidentally. Magistrate Pennock who conducts the hearings In Germantown. found that tho cases have Increased threefold since tho nuto began serving . as a patrol, while the enarges were so slight that three-fourths of the prison- era were discharged. In fact, things reached such a stage that the npproach of the touring car very often waa the signal for nn Impromptu fight In the street. When the fighters were gathered In they simply chuckltd nnd would lean back like millionaires. That's why the police believe that the arrival of the regular wagon will work a reform In Germantown.
