COLONEL FORSYTH INDICTED.
He Is Charged With Obtaining Money
Under False Pretences.


Under False Pretences.
Lieut.. Col. George A. Forsyth. retired
officer of the United States Army, was in
dicted yesterday by the grand jury for the
District for receiving money under false
pretences The amount Of money involy
ed is small. not amounting to one months
pay for an officer of the accuseds rank.
and for this reason there is much surprise
expressed that the matter should have
been brought to the attention Of the grand
jury. The complaining witness is R A.
Phillips. who alleges that Colonel Forsyth
obtained a certain amount OF money from
him under false pretences.
1t is said that on February 12, 1886, this
being after he had assigned his salary to
some one else, Colonel Forsyth applied -
Mr.. Phillips for a loan. He was aecommo-
dated and IL is stated that after that time
he made one or two other loans. When it
came time for his voucher, which Colonel
Forsyth had left with Mr.. Phillips as Sc
curity, to be presented for payment. he
asked for an extension OF time, which was
granted him. In order to still secure Mr..
Phillips, Colonel Forsyth then gave him
another voucher in place of the old one
which would be payable the following
month. This method Of doing business. 1t
is stated, was continued until June Is,
of the same year. when Colonel
Forsyth negotiated his last loan with
Mr.. Phillips. After this he extend
ed the time fer the payment OF his
debt by giving a new voucher in exchange
for the old one.
Colonel Forsyth is said to have a very
brilliant war record. having been at the
front during the four years of the Civil
War, 1876. He was with General Grant
in front OF Richmond during the siege OF
the capital of the Confederacy, and was
more than once promoted for bravery on
the field of battle.
1t Is stated, however, that Colonel For
syth. during late years, has suffered great
ly from the effects of a wound in the head
received during the war. His condition, it
is said. was such as to incapacitate him
for service and for this reason more than
on account of his age. he was retired
some years ago. 1t is also said that he has
been twice adjudged mentally unbalanced
by a board of Army surgeons.

PREVENTED BY THE LAW.
The Commissioners Unable to Accept
Mrs. Henrst's Offer.


The District Commissioners yesterday ad-
dressed letter to Prof. William B. Powell.
Superintendent of Public Schools, inform
ing him that they are prohibited by law
from accepting the generous o@er OF Mrs.
Phoebe A. Hearst, to pay the salary of a
director of kndergartens for the public
schools of this city. The offer was made
through the Superintendent Of Schools dur
ing the month of May last.
The Commissioners at the time doubted
their authority to accept the offer, and re-
ferred the question to Sydney T. Thomas.
who was then their Attorney. for a legal
opinion in the matter. Attorney Thomas
called attention to a provision in the De-
hciency Appropriation act approved July
I, 1898, which provided that after that
date the Commissioners should not accept
volunteer service for the government Of the
District nor employ personal services In
excess of that authorized by law. except
in case CT sudden emergency, involving loss
of human life or destruction of property.
Attorney Thomas ruled that the Com
missioners could not entertain the PROPOSE
tion of Mrs. Hearst. He said the object
Of the provision mentioned above was to
prohibit the acceptance of volunteer ser
vices by the government Of the District
whereby any possibility OF subsequent
claim might be made for compensation for
such services
THE difficulty however. in the way of
accepting Mrs. Hearst's proposition" added
the Attorney, lies back OF this statutory
prohibition. There is no such office as di-
rector of kindergartens for the public
schools of the District OF Columbia and
the Commissioners are forbidden by the
organic act of 1878 to create any office.
My opinion is that the Commissioners are
without authority to accept the offer of
Mrs. Hearst; because of want OF power
to create the Office
On receiving this opinion, Commissioner
Wight suggested that if the name of the
position mentioned were the only obstacle
some other name might be selected in or
der that the generous offer of Mrs. Hearst
might be accepted for the benefit and ad-
vantage of the public schools. Commits
sioner Ross maintained that the act of
Congress to which reference was made was
wholly prohibitory. and upon his recon-
mendation the offer was not accepted.
