IT is now reported that HowGATE, the de-
faulting disbursing officer Of the signal SCI :
vice, who got away with about $4,000 O
the government funds, and then got away
with such ease from the government, has
been for months quietly travelling about
the country in various DISCUSSES. He is the
one defaulter whom the government Off
cias do not want to see captured. 1t is be-
lieved that he knows enough bout political
and administration circles in Washington
70 send half of the government employees to
the penitentiary we're he so disposed. As
const quence, he is permitted to remain
out Of Washington as long as he chooses.
After the acQuittal of the star-routers, how
ever, he need not fear capital jury, nor
any other government defaulter, for that
matter, with such influence as HowGATE
could bring to bear in his behalf.
