The times., 1900-12-26

Every little while there would be reports
from some part OF the United States-from
points even as far distant from Washing
ton as San Francisco-that Howgate had
been seen there. When detectives made a
search he was, however. not located
At one time it was said that he lived
in a house on an island of the Potomac
and that he even sometimes visited Wash
ington in disguised. This however. was
never regarded as true by the author
ities.
In time the matter was all but for
gotten and the Secret Service Bureau, al
though keeping a watchful eye had
practically resigned itself to the fact
that Howgage was either where he would
never be caught or he was dead.
But 1t is proverbially always the un-
expected that happens and this was the
case when Howgate was finally arrest
ed in 1894. Several years before he had
gone to New York and there purchased
second hand book store and conducted
it under the name OF the former owner
H. Williams Howgage vas a man OF
considerable education and the book low
ers who frequented his store little
thought that the quiet, refined. old gen.
tleInan who chatted with them about old
editions was bold embezzeler, who had
successfully eluded for a dozen years the
best detectives in the United States.
One day a detective who had formerly
been connected with the Secret Service
Bureau and who had known Howgate
learned of his presence in New York by
mere accident. Arrest followed soon
and Howgate was brought to this city
for trial.
The case was tried before judge, now
Senator McComas. and after fierce legal
battle that lasted six weeks during the
hot summer of 1895. Howgate was con-
victed on two indictments of forgery and
sentenced to four years in the peniten-
tiary for each offence. He was commit
ted to the Albany penitentiary In July
1898. The eight year sentence was reduced
to triae over five years by good be-
havior. During his confinement Howgate
has been ''trusty" and acted as libra
rian OF the prison.

CHICAGO REFORMS IN PERIL.
situation Complicated by n Second
Street Railway Bill.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. 25.-Thc efforts to
have reform street railway bill passed
by the State Legislature, 1t is feared,
may come to naught After months CT
labor the Street Railway Commission Of
the city council has drawn bill which it
will ask the council to recommend to the
Legislature for passage. The Civic Fed
Grafton has endorsed the bill and prac-
tically has pledged its support to the
meaJure.
Now. however, there appears another
reform street railway bill, drawn up by
the Civic Federation two years ago. when
the Legislature was asked to pass it.
The bill failed and nothing was heard of
it until it was introduced in the city coun-
Gil by City Clerk Loeffier Monday night.
Until now no one could be found who
could explain the presentation of this bill,
and Civic Federation officials denied be-
ing responsible for its introduction. At
torney NJ S. Enrich. who requested that
the city clerk introduce the bill in the
council. explained the matter. He said:
"Certan clients Of mine formerly mem
bers of the Federation who contributed
literally to it's work, asked me to present
this bill They wish it considered along
with other street railway measures. They
contributed toward the drawing up of
this bill. and want it considered"
BY inference, at least, MIR. Enrich said
that the men whom he represented were
"sore" on the Civic Federation on account
of what they termed the change of front
of the reform organization.
The appearance of second street rail-
way bill will complicate matters consid-
erably. II two bills are introduced it is
thought likely that both will fail.
