Sensational stories are afloat, eSpe-
cially among the insurance men, re-
garding one of the best known insur-
ance agents III the city. EmbeZZlement
is the charge made against him. He is
backed by probably the strongest fiLan-
cial concern in the city. and an effort is
being made to hush up the story of his
shortcomings lie has been helped out
of scrapes before by this same concern,
but this time the effort is likely to fail.
Attorneys are now at work on tire evil
dence against the delinquent. If it be
found mighty enough TO warrapt prose-
cution, prosecution will be instituted.
The alleged embezZlements cover
rather long period. The money mis-
appropriated belongs To insurance COM
panieS and other agents. 1t was taken
IN this way: Insurance policies In East
ern companies we're written and the
premiums collected. but never paid into
the treasury OF the insuring company.
This part of the work was laid bare by
the companies Sending to the in
sured notices of the cancel
latiOn OF the policies for nOn-pay-
ment of premiums. Several policies

way. Insurance was placed by this
agent through other agencies. AS in the
case of the companies. the premiums
were collected. but never paid over.
Tie amount of the miSapprOpriated
funds has not been clearly aseertained,

HOSPITAL SITES.
They'll Be Selected Next weel

They'll Be Selected Next Week
Investigating the City Hospital.
The board OF corrections and charities
expects to come to some definite under
standing next week on the question of
site for the proposed new hospital.
During the tour of the members of the
board Tuesday afternoon a number of
the sites were visited, and two of them
found to be favorable In every way.
The board Is averSe to giving the loca-
ton OF these sites. however, until all
have been seen and something definite
decided upon. The board is aware that
new hospital is needle d, and needed
badly. and each and every member
prayS loud and long when he goes to
bed that the legislature, in its Infinite
Judgment, will see fit to grant the nee
esSary appropriation.
The charges against the hospital Off
Gals and the orderly are under investi-
CATION by Commissioners Woodward and
Martin. President ClOutier stated YES
terday that if any of the patients were
treated badly the board would see the
system was remedied. He expressed
the greatest faith in the house physi-
clan, DIR. johnson, but remarked that in
all probability the orderly, Ed Brent,
would be discharged. The idea of hav-
ing an orderly was first introduced by
DR.. Chase, and the board Thought the
hospital would get along better without
one. He said complaints had been
made against the orderly before, and
now something would be done.

THE COMMON COUNCIL.
1t Is Expected That 1t VIII Be
Rather Tame.

1t is thought the council meeting to-
night will be somewhat tame for the
reason that the affairs of the presidency

President Kiichli will prefer to have
the legality of his position settled be-
yond question before ne, performs any
important business. The Long ordi-
nance will come up, and it is likely that
there VIII be fight on that score. The
ordinance fixes ltsO that any officer in the
employ of the city elected by the council
can be removed by a majority vote
of that body. In case the ordinance is
passed by the council and the mayor
vetOeS it, the aldermen will pass it over
his head. The report of the fire depart
ment investigating committee will not
be made, for the reason that the expert
accountant has not completed his work

of living the last days of my life in the
Home on Burton avenue"
The Roxbury Home for children and
aged women occupies the building, a
picture of which is given above.
1t is one of the best institutions of its
kind in the country. Its Board of Man
ayers is composed of some of the best
known men ard women in Boston, of
whom Solon w. Bush is president.
1t affords temporary home for many
worthy persons, but preference is given
to those who are residents of that part
of Boston formerly known as ROXbury.
When one considers that only one

Central station.

Lizzie's lover Made n Scene at the
Central station.
Tuesday night an officer arrested a
young girl. about seventeen years Of
age, anu locked her up at the central
station. Yesterday morning she was
arraigned in the police court on the
cilarge of incOrriglbility. She was too
oldetO be prosecuted for being incor-
rigible. 1t was the wish of her parents
that she should be placed in some in
Stitution where she would learn how to
behave herself. so she was sentenced by
the Judge to go to the House of the Good
Shepherd. LiZzie'S best fellow" was
waiting on the outside of the central
station wden she was preparing to take
the wagon for the House of the Good
shepherd. lie was not OH good terms
with her father and mother, and did not
dare To put his head inside the door, for
fear they would pounce upon him.
When Lizzie stepped out of the door to-
ward the wagon, her best fellow threw
both arms about her neck.
"Oh, my darling" he said. and then
he kissed her a half dozen times.
The stern father. when ne saw what
was going on, made a rush for the low
erS, and in Il rich TeutOnc brogue
shouted: Ali dere, you feilahs. Vat
you do nit Lizzie, hay? Ged out mid
you"
The young fellow ran away down tho
alley, aud Lizzie was placed in the de-
tention wagon and was driven rapidly
away, SO53ing as though her heart
would break.

KIRKHAAI'S GONE.
The Famous Sergeant Dismissed
by SfayOr EuStis.

Sergeant Sam KiIkham, of the central
police precinct. was dismissed yesterday
afternoon by Mayor Eustis. Charges
were preferred against him in the morn
ing, and, pending an investigation,
Kirkham was suspended. 1t appears
that the mayor became convinced tn 1t
the sergeant had miScOnducted himself,
for IN the afternoon he was given his
walking papers. The dismissal was the
result OF a search made by the sergeant
Tuesday night for a child supposed to
have been kidnapped.
On Tuesday evening. Mr.. and Mrs.
Il. KinSie, living at $40 Fifth street
south, reported that their adopted child,
four years old, had disappeared. They
were of the opinion that the little one
had been cOaXed to the home of Il Mrs.
Phillips, at 72j Hennepin avenue. Ser
geantS Kirkham and Mealy were de-
tailed to accompany the parents to the
number indicated and make a search.
1t was II O'Clock, midnight when they
reached the place, and it is said that
Kirkham frightened Mrs. Phillips and
her little children by the rough manner
in which he entered the house and
searched the rooms. Mrs. Phillips was
away at the time and his wife claims
that she was nearly frightened to death
and that the sergeant acted in an unbe-
coming manner. Yesterday morning
she called at police headquarters and
entered complaint against him.
Kirkham has been member of the
fCrce for great many years and than
be, there was no better known police
officer in the department. He and his
methods have been bone of contention
with every administration for years.

One of the inmates, Mrs. Hannah Pat

a Disappearance.
ST. LOUIS, March 29.-W. F. Leslie
mysteriOusly disappeared from his
boarding place in this city yesterday
morning, leaving his room about 4
o'clock, since which time no trace OF
him has been found. He has
been very respondent of late
and has frequently threatened to
take his own life. ut was learned
today that Leslie was an English lord, -
says an evening paper. HE was the
last descendant OF the English house OF
Leslie. which dates back to 1916, when
Lord David Leslie, the first lineal ances-
tor known about an able Scottish gem
eral. defeated MOntrose at Phillipaugh.
The family took up their residence OH
inherited estates near KensingtOn, Eng
land, where they held possession until
early in the present century. 1t is
stated at the death of the father of w.
+, Leslie the son succeeded to thellord-
ship. The estates then became in
VOWED, in which condition the SON left
them when he took his departurelfrom
English soil several years since and
entered upon his recent rowing life. 1t
is, however, known that within a few
weeks Lord Leslie had received letter
from Lady Montague. a relative, whose
vast estates are contiguous to the Les
lies, to the effect that there had
been an amicable settlement made.
and the probability was that the
only living Lord Leslie would
receive his share. 4, 1t is stated that lie
gloried in the title of ex-captain OF the
British army, where he enlisted after
being diSowned by David Leslie ILL., on
account OF an unequal love match. He
remained iu the army until, it is SAID, he
was stripped of his rank on account of
escapades unbecoming an officer. He
sought relief from his sorrows and dis
appointments in travel, finally drifting
to the United States and adopting st.
Louis for his home"

These Roads Have Different Views
on the New agreement.
CHICAGO, March 29.-The passenger
agents of the Western Passenger assO-
citation today put off the settlement of
the question of worlds fair rates until
Monday, and will now put in all their
time working at the revision of the as
sociation agreement. On several points
of the agreement there are points OF
difference between the Alton and the
AtchiSon roads, the former demanding
that the AtchisOn shall guarantee the
rates on the st. Louis Il San Francisco,
which the AtchisOn declines to do un-
less the latter road is a member OF the
association, which is not the case at the
present time. Another point of differ
ence is that of arbitration, the Alton
insisting that all arDitratOrs shall
be taken from outside the
association. and the AtchlSOn hold
ing that the members are better able
to settle their own differences than are
outsiders. The Atchison also asks that
each party to any question to be arbl-
trated shall have at least five peremp-
tory challenges, and to this the Alton
is not entirely willing to agree. These
two roads are also at slight variance
on the question Of worlds fair rates,
the Atchison desiring that no rates shall
be published until there is an Organiza-
tion to protect rates west OF the Mis-
souri, river.

Aid. McAlliSteI, as a member of the

fruitful Of good results. He will take
no mans word concerning the character
OF these places, and neither will the
records on the secret archives of the

dows of all saloons. There must be
no obstruction of the view from the

there should be no objection OH part of
the council to the passage of this ordi-
nance, for the people who desire to
patrOniZe SOlQOnS should be willing to
do SO just as well in plain view of the

tons. A similar ordinance was passed
in Detroit, Mich, some two years ago,
