SOLDIER IN DISTRESS.
Friends Come to His Aid in Police
Court,


Soon after the Police Court met this
morning Policeman Flynn, the guardian of
the portals. appeared before Judge Kimball
and stated that some time before he was
approached by George w. Rogers, who told
him he was destitute and wanted to be sent
to the workhouse. Mr.. Flynn asked that a
newspaper man. whom he named, be called
as a witness, which was done, and the lat
ter informed the court that last evening the
defendant called to see him and asked that
something be done to send him to the
Washington Asylum. Rogers, he said, was
provided with place to stay for the night
Judge Kimball was further informed that
an investigation made into Rogers record
showed that he had served five years and
six months in the regular army under his
own name, besides equal period previ-
he had been an inmate of the National Sol
diers' Home. From that institution Rogers
was expelled because he was charged with
larceny. He was tried before Justice Cla-
baugh and acquitted but has thus far been
unable to secure reinstatement.
1t was desired by some of those who had
become interested in Rogers case that he
be not sent to the workhouse but given
temporary home at the Washington
Asylum. and that it was the intention of
his friends to call General Miles attention
to the matter, with view of having Rog-
ers again admitted to the Soldiers Home.
Judge Kimball suggested that to get the
man into the asylum the proper course to
pursue would be to see Sanitary Officer
premit. Rogers was taken before Mr.
Frank to whom the case was explained, and
at the conclusion of the interview the
necessary permit was promised.

Proud Record of the Law School,

methods pursued. which seek to inculcate
thoroughly in each students mind not only
the theory of the law, but its practical
side as well. Glasses have been recently
formed for the year 1s99-1900, and others
are forming at the law school building,
Nos. s1S and $40 18th street northwest.
