FORBES STILL MISSING,
Contractor Who Left With Money BE.
longing to Firm.

George A. Forbes, the contractor who left
the city last week with about $500 belong
ing to the firm of Rodgers & Forbes. and
which was secured from William III. Saun-
ders & Co. of 1407 F street northwest. for
the supposed purpose of paying off Iaborers
on block Of buildings, is still absent. and
efforts to locate him have been of no avail
Forbes friends still maintain that he has
met with foul play. and certainly did not
take the money away with the intent of
embezzement. They argue that Forbes
would not jeopardize his previously un-
blemished reputation in any such manner
Mr. Rodgers called upon the District
prosecuting attorney to ascertain whether
or not some legal steps might be taken for
the apprehension Of his missing partner.
but. after stating the facts in the case, was
told it was not a cause for criminal ac-
ton, Forbes alleged misdeed constituting
but breach Of trust. Rodgers is continu-
ing the construction of the buildings in
volved. and by rushing the work to early
completion hopes to win a bonus out Of
which Forbes shortage with the men in
their employ may be made good.

Lifeboat Grew.
1t is somewhat more than a year ago
that the Courant noted the departure
of the little mischievous- eyed "Speck''
Macton to his native country consign-

Nearly everybody who freuuented State
street in passing to or from business,
knew the little freckle-faced bootblack
and he was pretty generally liked--by
some for his business push, and by
others for his brightness. One night
he was awakened by his parents and
before he realized what was up he was
on his way to New York and next
morning went aboard a ship. In due
time he landed at at Naples, thence GO
ing by rail and team to the home of his
grandparents in Stedeon. Here he has
been working on the farm for a wear.
Some two or three months ago Mr..
Macton determined to dispose Of his
property which he left behind when he
came here and he visited his birthplace
and has turned most of his belongings
there into cash. Incidentally he de-
cided to let ''Speck" rejoin his family
here and about a month ago he fitted
him out With passage money and the
lad started out ON the long return
journey alone. He reached New York
on the Rotterdam, and was conse-
quently one of the search-boat crew
that left La Champagne on the almost
helpless search for relief. His recital

some of the men, when he heard one
of them say: There Is trouble over

The waving of flag was barely visible
in the distance. The boat tackled and
