A TROUBLED GUARDIAN.
He Finds 81 $40 of His Wards Funds
MysteriousIy Missing.

In petition filed in the Probate Court
yesterday Charles J. Cumberland, the
guardian Of Charles Emmett Cumberland.
asks the aid and advice of the court in
recovering $3.50. which he alleges was
drawn without his knowledge or consent
from HIS guardianship fund on deposit
with the Washington Loan and Trust
Company.
1T is explained that in February last he
was surprised to learn that there was
voucher held by the Washington Loan
and Trust Company against his guardian
ship account. Cumberland states that he
kept and still keeps his guardianship
funds deposited with the Washington
Loan and TrusS Company but that he
never signed voucher for the sum
mentioned
Some time in the fall of 1860, Cumber-
land states. he was approached by Forrest
F. Vrooman. then resident manager of
the National Surety Company of New
York, with the request for a loan of 5000.
Although the National Surety Company
is on Cumberlands guardianship bond. he
says he refused to make the loan. on the
advice of his counsel. He further states
that his checks, by arrangement with the
National Surety Trust Company. had TO
be countersigned by-yrooman, and were
cashed by the Washington Loan and
Trust Company. Ab6at January u last,
Cumberland declares Erooman represent
cd to him that IL was necessary for him
(Vrooman) to send some formal paper to
his home Office and requested him Cum
berland) to sign and acknowledge a GER
tain paper. claimed &c be merely formal.
The paper was read to him. Cumberland
acknowledges, and he believed 1t to be all
right. because Yroonsan so stated.
On the afternoon of the same day. Cum
berland states. he sighed what he be-
| IIcved to be the paper which was read q
| him. Upon discovering IN Febr1ary last
that the sum Of q 30 had been drawn
from the Washingt gtos.zLoan and Tr8si
| Company he sent an affidavit denying f.is
signature to the voucher upon ~hieh tas
money was drawn.
| Soon after this Cumberland says ~
| learned that Vro0man Was no loa2ef az

OF Vrooman.

United States Consul Pike. Of Port

Colonel Pike, whose New York address

A REVOLVER CAUSES ARRESTS.
Carrying Concealed Weapons Charg-
ed Against Two COIOrcd Men.

Benjamin Moore and Frank West, two
welI-dressed colored men, were arrested
on the Good Hope Road last night by
Sergeant Harry. of the police station Ia
Anacostia charged with carrying con-
cealed weapons.
The police allege that the two men dis
played TO a resident of the vicinity
bulldog revolver loaded in every chamber
The citizen informed Sergeant Harry as
he rode past, and the bluecoat at once
set out in pursuit of them. At the sight
of the policeman Moore, who it seems is
the owner of the revolver. asked his un-
suspecting friend West to carry the
weapon for him, as he wanted to wipe
his hands West had no sooner taken
charge of the undesirable property when
he saw the policeman in front of him.
Frightened by the shock, West dropped
the revolver and started on a run down
the road right into the arms of Policeman
stevens. who quickly overpowcred him.
Both prisoners were taken to the station.
owing to the fact that the weapon was
the property of Moore and that it was in
possession of West at the time the ar
rest was made, both were charged with
CARRYING concealed weapons. They Will
both be given a hearing in Police Court
this morning.

IDENTIFIED AS A LOCAL MAN.
The Philadelphia LOvc-CrnZed Youth
Found to BE Campbell.

The coIored man who attempted to Kill
Dora Johnson in Philadelphia night be-
fore last and then instantly killed him
self by sending a bullet crashing through
his own head, has been identified as
Harry Campbell, former employe of the
Smithsonian Institution and the son of
Mrs Frances Campbell, of 407 b Street
southeast A despatch appeared in the
morning Times yesterday saying that
the Philadelphia police stated that the
man was half-breed Mexican. but that
nothing further concerning him could be
learned. This despatch was read by Mrs.
Campbell, who was struck by the siml-
larity of names, circumstances, and in
cidents, and who appealed to Captain
Boardman to find out if it was her son.
In answer to Captain Boardman's de-
spatch a reply was received stating that
Campbell was the son of the Mrs. Camp
bell who lived at i07 y Street southeast
Prior to the latter part OF March young
Campbell was employed in the Smith
sonian Institution, where he received a
salary of $40 a month. On March his
cousin, Dora Johnson, came here from
her home in Philadelphia to attend the
inauguration of President Mckinley.
The two young people are said to have
Immediately fallen in love with each
other. When Dora returned to her home
Campbell was greatly disturbed Tor some
time and on March 30, without any warn
ing to his mother or any of his friends,
he left this city. Nothing was heard
from him after that until the news of
the tragedy reached here.
1t appears that he followed his cousin
to Philadelphia but that his attentions TO
her were discouraged by her parents. He
asked her to disregard their wishes and
clone with him. and her refusal to do so
seemed to weigh heavily upon his mind.
Monday night he went to the house and
on again being refused, shot her through
the cheek, shot Barbarella Carter. a
friend of Dora, in the neck, and then
sent the third bullet crashing into his
skull, killing him almost instantly. Dora
Johnson is only sixteen years of age, and
it was partly on this account that Camp
bell was requested not t. press the sub
iect of marriage.
Campbell spent several years in Texas
and while there picked up a little Spanish.
and it is believed that this, in connection
with his color, may have lead to his being
mistaken for a half-breed Mexican The
body will probably be buried in Philadel-
Dhia as the relatives are not able to
bring It to this city for interment.

assaulted him before the station was
reached. The prisoners go to court this
morning.
The police say all the women were
drunk and boistcrous during the after
noon and said unpleasant things when the
police entered the house. But all were
taken to the station in the patrol wagon
and locked up. Later in the night one
of the trio of women accused Minnie
Cook of trying to hang herself in cell.
This Mrs. Cook denied, bur the police
made haste to remove her to the House
of, Detention for safe keeping.
There she told a reporter that she had
done nothing at all. She said Bertha
Ward had been employed to come to her
home yesterday TO sew, and had brought
certain buckets OF beer with her. After
drinking the beer Mrs Cook says the
Ward woman fell down the back stairs.

time the police appeared and arrested all

A BULLET IN HER EYE.
Young Girl suffers n Painful Wound
From an Air Rifle.

While sitting in the front window of
her home, 40 Decatur Street northeast,
shortly after y o'clock yesterday after
noon, Mary Kallam, a ffteeE-year-old
girl, was shot in her left eye with parlor
rifle in the hands of Thomas Vile. fif-
teen years old, residing at q o Street
northeast. Luckily for the girl, however,
the bullet struck little above the BAN
of the eye itself, so that she narrowly
escaped losing the sight of that optic.
Her cries OF pain were heard by her
parents and messenger was despatched
for medical assistance. Before the ar
rival of a physician, however. the police
ambulance took the girl and her mother
to the Homeopathic Hospital. After an
examination of the wound the surgeons
there stated that although it was of a
most painful nature they did not think
it would impair the girls sight.
The Second precinct police were notified
shortly afterwar,s of the affair. and Po-
liceman Tracey vas detailed to inyesti-

A SERIOUS ACCUSATION.
Two Men Arrested mt Langdon on n
Young woman's Charge.

Beatrice Wright, an eigEteen-year-old
colored girl. reported to Lieutenant Daley,
of the Ninth precinct police station, short
" after o'cIOck last night. that she had
been criminaIly assaulted while in COM
pany with man friend on Mulligan's
Hill. near the BladenSburg Road, about 8
o'clock yesterday afternoon. by John T.
Sweeney, a blacksmith, who resides in
the vicinity, and Allen Dent, a friend of
Sweeney.
Immediately upon receipt of the news
Lieutenant Daley detailed Bicycle Po-
licemen johnson and Wilson upon the
case, and no effort was spared by them
to locate both Sweeney and his friend,
who are white men and well known in
the vicinity where the alleged asSa ult
took place. Mounted upon bicycles. the
two bluecoats finally succeeded in Iocat-
ing the two men at Langdon, d. C.,
where, with the assistance OF Mounted
Policeman Joyce. they were captured, and
call sent in for the patrol wagon The
men. the police aIIege, were attempting
to leave the city when apprehended. Upon
their arrival at the station Lieutenant
Daley succeeded IN making Dent, who is
the younger OF the two. confess. but was
unable to secure any information from
Sweeney. The police learned that the
two men arrested had, during the after
noon, passed themselves of as policemen
in order to accomplish their act. Later
both were seen to leave the locality by
citizens who knew them.
The Wright girl. who lives in AleNan-
dria. and who is visiting relatives in this
city. will probably be given chance TO
identify the accused before they are
taken to court, in order that no mistake
may be made

Il do not advocate the nomination Of
Mr.. Hanna, because l do not believe that
anyone is justified in desiring a bad
thing, even though he is hopeful that 1t
may result in good. l believe, however.
that Mr.. Hanna is the logical candidate
of the Republican party, because he rep
resents the dominating influence in that
party. Mr.. Roosevelt Is a better repre-
sentative of the military spirit that is
cultivated by an imperial policy and
wars of conquest. but the Republicans, as
rule, support Imperialism not because
of any special love of war, but because
they see In colonial policy a chance for
exploitation.
Mr., Roosevelt likes the strenuous life,
as he calls 1t, because of the excitement
of it, but most of the Republican leaders
like it for the money in 1t. and Hanna
best represents them. When / speak of
the Republican leaders l do not mean the
rank and file of the Republican party.
l believe that a large number of Repub-
lican voters will finally revolt against
both the military and the commercial
side of Imperialism.
