This news will be welcome to owners of pleasure craft In particular, for to them the barge has been a serious nnrrn of riiLnrer ever since It drifted ashore. A number of launches have had their rudders bent out or shape d Mmlni tn ontact with the old wrec In maneuvering about and It Is con sidered . miraculous that no more se rious accidents have resulted from Its presence there. nwnoi-Khtn nf the barre seems a mat ter of dispute. thoe owning it when It drifted ashore alleging that the wreck had since been sold to another party. But the promise to remove has never been carried out and Harbormaster Bpeler has finally come to the conclu sion that the barge will have to dis appear some way.

When found he was 4 4 sitting In an easy . chair, which 4 4 he had removed from the parlor, 4 with his feet cocked up on the . cooking table and smoking a big 4 Havana cigar takeja from a box 4 4 in the sitting room, y 4 At first the Hoppers were 4 4 badly frightened, and they cau- 4 ttously asked what Mr. Matsa 4 4 was doing. He could hot speak 4 their language, but It was evl- 4 dent that he meant no particular 4 4 harm, and while Hopper., stood 4 4 guard over the Jap, with the 4 4 "poker as a weapon of defense, 4 Mrs. Hopper notified the police 4 4 and Officer Stahl arrested the 4 4 man a few minutes later. Matsa 4 4 will probably be examined for ,4 4 his sanity tomorrow. CAPPS EEPOETS ON PACIFIC NAVY YAEDS ; United Press Leased' Wb.t waahlnalon. Dec 2.
