PASSING OF ROAGH
SHIPYARD ENDS ITS
TROUBLED HISTORY

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

'BOSS,' A BLACK BEAR,
DOES NIGHTLY DUTY
IN PLACE OF POLICE
POLICEMAN BRUIN PATROLS FACTORY BEAT
r
Besides Having a Mighty
Punch in Each Paw, This
Watchman Does Not
Sleep Soundly.
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. It
Is now a part of Hoss

JOY-RIDING PRISONERS MUST
REVERT TO COMMON PATROL
rieixsurnble IUde to Lockup Blnmcd
for Avnlche of Offenders.
Joy riding nmong the regular week
end boatders at tho dcrmnntown police
station came to an end today. 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.
