Homeless Derelict Mourned
By Kind-Hearted Policemen
NEW ORLEANS, June 24. (JP)—
“Old John,” the city’s most unusual
guest, is (lead, and policemen attach
ed to the second precinct station are
mourning the passing of a friend.
The old man drifted in three years
ago and begged a night’s lodging.
That was granted, as is customary,
but the old fellow made himself so
friendly and useful that he simply
stayed on, altho according to the
law he should have been sent to a
charity home.
He ran errands for policemen and
prisoners and did odd jobs around
the station house, picking up what
change he could and wearing what
friendly policemen gave him.
When he died an effort was made
to learn something definite about
him, but he had rarely talked about
himself and all that could be learned
was that he was John Francis, 74,
native of Montreal, and had two
sisters in Illinois. He said once he
| had not seen them in 30 years.
Gunboat with Dewey’s Fleet
Crumbles At Seattle Wharf
i SEATTLE, June 24. The gun
boat Princeton, which was with Ad
: miral George Dewey when he won
! the Battle of Manila Bay 27 years
ago, is crumbling at a wharf on
Lake Washington opposite Seattle.
The Princeton cost $250,000 in 1$97
when she was launched at Camden,
i N. J. A Seattle lawyer bought her
in 1919 for $36,000, and has been
| trying ever since to sell her.
After the Spanish-American War
: the Princeton remained in Pacific
! waters, and was sent to Camoa.
There she hit an uncharted rock, and
was about to sink when she limped
into Tutuila. She was put out of
commission, and four years later waas
brought to the University of Wash
ington for a training ship.
The lawyer bought her when the
University discontinued instruction
in navigation.
After cluttering up all the high
ways Henry Ford now wants to fliv
verize the air.
