WASHINGTON. June Henry W Howgate.
formerly disbursing oficer Of the Signal
Service OF the army. then comprising the
Weather Bureau. died suddenly at tho homo
OF his daughter in Washing gton to-day. aged
81 years.
Howsate held the rank Of Captain in the
army as disbursing officer Of the Signal Corps,
then under Gen Myer. and had almost un-
restricted freedom In making contracts for
materials In the extension OF the weather
service. His extravagant habits led to an
inv veetigation Of his accounts and the dis
covery that he had embezzlsd some 5000, 900
OF funds Of tho Government. He disap-
peared. but was finally captured In Michigan
and was taken TO Washington for trial. but
again obtained his freedom by eluding the
officer in whose charge he had been placed
while visiting his home. For fourteen years
he eluded capture. during which time he
kept an old bookstore in New York city,
and was finally sentenced to the Albany
Penitentiary for nine years His term ex-
pired last January. and he had since lived
quietly with his daughter in Washington.
Although greatly broken in health his death
was unexpected. 1t was due to q stroke Of
apoplexy.
