Crime of an Inmate of
the Orting Soldiers
Home.
Has Defrauded Uncle Sam fOr
Years by Impersonating
a Dead Man.
Accused by Former NeIghbors Of
Being a BigamIst as Well as
a PerJurer.

SEATTLE, WASH, June THE Fed
eraI authorities appear to have unearthed
q genuine pension fraud when they ar
dragged out of the Soldiers Home at Ort-
ing on charge of perjury. For over six
years the accused has been personating
his dead brother, Harry S. Howard, draw
ing all this time pension of $12 month.
Harry was mem Der OF Company E, Sixth
Michigan Heavy Infantry, and is reported
to have been brave soldier. He was
bonorably discharged in 1865 after four
years hard service. He was a single man.
In July of that year Harry died. Time
wore on, and in 1890 his brother Horace,
who never served day in the war, made
application for a pension in the name of
Harry S. Howard. The following year he
was awarded one at the rate of $12
month, which amount he has since regu-
larly and religiously drawn.
Uncle Sam has gone to the expense OF
importing three witnesses to this State
all the way from Calhoun County, Mich,
where the Howards lived before and after
the war. One of these is Anson Richey,
who served in the same regiment with
Harry S. Howard. The other two are
w. w. and George II. Pease, cousins Of
the accused as we'll as of the deceased
soldier.
1t was when the fact became known
tina: these men would bear testimony
against him that Horace broke down,
saying he would kill himself rather than
that the story of his perfdy should be
told to the world.
1t transpires that he is bigamist ALSO
Hedeserted his wife, whom he married
many years ago in New YORK State, and
the Messrs. Pease and Richey say that
with out Obtaining a divorce he married
an Albion (Mlch.) widow, whose maiden
name was Jennie Cowan. She knew moth
ing OF his first marriage until the facts
were recently laid before her by a Govern
ment pension agent stationed at Jackson
Michigan, in which pension district the
fraud was unearthed.

CoMMANDER MULLAN,s CASE
The Hero of Apia to BE Tried by Naral
Court Martial.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 7.-Secre-
tary Long has definitely determined to
order court-martIal TO try Commander
Dennis W. Muilan on charges growing
out of the conduct of that officer while
acting as commandant of the Pensacola
navy-yard, This action will be taken
upon the appliea tion of Commander Null
Ian, who objects to the Secretary's dispo-
sition of the findings of the court OF in
qniry which recently Investigated the al
legations filed against him in regard to
his course at the navy-yard. The court OF
inquiry which investigated Commander
Mullan's case found nothing improper in
his relations with a young lady whose
name has been mentioned, but it is al
legged that he had been lndiscreet. In the
matter OF the charge of intemperance the
court is understood to have found some
basis therefor. Commander Mullan's
friends say that while he is not ''teeto-
taller" he is not intemperate, and they
will be able to prove this to be the case
when his trial occurs. The trial will prob
ably take place at the Washington navy
ward.

HanfOrd Miss Married
to a Fresno Jail
Prisoner.
After the Ceremony He Is
Returned to the Solitude
of His Cell.
Awaiting Arraignment for Having
Slashed His Betrothed With
Knife.

FRESNO, CAL, June 7.-Alfred D..
Cookery and Miss Lillian Black were
married to-day by Judge Risley of the
Superior Court at his chambers. A week
ago yesterday Corkery made murderous
assault on Miss Black with knife and
cut her in the neck. This happened at
Kingsburg. twenty miles south of this
city. Miss Black having been there few
days on visit, and Cookery having come
that morning to see her from Hanford,
where both live. Since the stabbiDg
Cookery has been confined in the county
jail in this city.
When the marriage ceremony was per-
formed to-day the groom was i'll charge of
a Deputy Sheriff. who took him from his
cell to the Judges apartments. Here
Miss Black was in waiting, and the Judge,
in the usual formal manner, made the
two man and vile. The groom kissed his
bride and then had to leave her to accom-
pany the Deputy Sheriff back to Jail.
Mrs. Corkery left for Kingsburg, where
she is stopping with friends.
The preliminary examination of Cork
cry on a charge of assault to commit muir
Qer upon the young woman who is now
his bride will be held tomorrow before
Justice Bryan at Kingsburg, and under
the circumstances the probability is that
he will be discharged. The prisoner had
been drinking heavily the night befere he
attempted to take the life .! his betrothed,
and when he came to kingsburg from
Hanford from the morning train he was
still under the influence of the liquor.
Miss Black became angry at him be-
cause OF his conduct, and severely up
braided him. She taunted him by sayin &
that she would have nothing more TO do
with him, and that she intended to keep
com pany from then on with a young man
in Kings burg, who had been paying her
persistent attentions.
In fit of uncontrollable anger and un-
reasonable with drink, as Cookery himself
explained afterward the lover whipped
out his pocket-knIe and slashed at the
girls throat. He struck the side of heI
neck and inflicted a wound about two
inches long. The jugula- vein was barely
missed. The cut was not very deep, how
ever, and to-day at the wedding there was
only a slight scar as mark of the rash
act of the lover q week ago.
Corkery was Immediately arrested and
his examination was set for last Saturd ay.
The defendants attorneys obtained 4 con-
tinuance until tomorrow for obvious
reasons
Mrs. Corkery stated to THE CALL CORE
respondent day that the stories of her
husbands attack upon her were great
exaggerations of the facts She stated
that the cutting was an accident, and that
the wound was mere scratch. She is a
modest, unassuming young lady, and is
almost heartbroken over her husbands
predicament.
1t is not likely that Cookery will suffer
any punishment His wife is now trying
to shield him, and as no one else wit
messed the cutting the testimony will not
be sufficient to hold the defendant.
Cookery is painter by trade. and is con-
sidered respectable young man in Han.
ford. He and his bride had been engaged
for several months.

TACOMA. WASH. June THE Tacoma
Land Com pany, owner of large slice of
water front and tide lands, has again de-
faulted in its tax payments and is now de-
linquent in the sum of $162, OCO. OF this
amount $4,000 bears per cent interest; !;
on tho balance the high rate of 10 per
cent will run. AS the stock holders of the
company are wealthy and could easily
have borrowed the money at a much
lower rate the supposition here is that the
large stockholders are working freeze
out game on the others. and that the
Northern Pacific will in the end acquire
complete control of the company's ter
minal facilities

MAJOR OF GEkArER NEW YORK.
Seth Loco wan accept the Cttissns' linton
Nomination.

NEW YORK. N. Y, June Seth Low,
president of Columbia University, to-day
wrote letter in reply 10 the Democratic
executive committee of the Citizens
Union that he would accept the union 3
nomination for Mayor of Greater New
Y ork, which is regarded as a positive as
surance that he will accept. He indorses
the bipartisan view of the Citizens
Union, but says he must not. if nom-
mated, be ham pered by any conditions.
but be free to serve the city according to
his best judgment.
Recent indications denote that the Platt
organization is not friendly TO Low. If
supported by all the Tammany forces
Low will probably be elected. He is now
apparently the strongest anti Tammany
candidate that has vet appeared. The
Citizens Union leaders believe his candi-
dacy will prove a unifying force among
the friends of good government.

LOS ANGELES, CAL. June IA sensa-
ton has been caused here by the an
nounced intention of the Board of Educa-
ton to discharge all married women who
have positions as teachers. Such policy,
if carried out, will depose large num-
Der of the most efficient teachers in the
schools. The movement is being urged
by tho friends of the great number of
unmarried and unemployed teachers who
assert that they are being Disseminated
against by the women teachers who have
husbands TO support them. An attempt
was made once before to enforce this rule
against married women, but 1t was killed
by political influence.
