RUNAWAY SOLDIER RECAPTURED
John Moore, Who Escaped From Ar
senal Hospital.

Policeman Heide, Of the substation at
Anacostia, arrested John Moore. a SOL
der. twenty-six years old, yesterday
afternoon, on a charge OF being a fugi-
tive from the military authorities.
Moore escaped from the Washington
Ba' acks, foot of Seventh Street south
west, Friday night. For some time past
the young man had been in the hospital
at the Arsenal. 1t is thought he is
suffering from some mental alteration.
Friday night he jumped out Of a win
dow and made his escape. This is the
second time he has attempted escape
by jumping from the window.
The police were asked to look out
for the man. Policeman Heide saw a
soldier lying under a tree in the woods
in Hillsdale. near Anacostia, and upon
questioning him discovered that he was
Moore. Late last night two soldiers
fro m the Arsenal called at the substa-

RUMORS AFLOAT OF
TREASURY CHANGES
FUGITIVE CAPTURED IN
NEW JERSEY TOWN
Charles E. Borgia Wanted by Local Au'
thorities on Several
Charges.

Charles E. Borgia is under arrest at
Camden. n. J., and will be brought to
Washington to stand trial for alleged
forgery.
About May 1, 1t is charged by the
police, Borgia presented a worthless
check for $40 at the barroom of Charles
Dietz. Seventh and + Streets north
west, and induced Mr. Dietz to give
him the money. From the saloon Bor-
gia went to the grocery store of Frank
Tippett. Ninth and F Streets south
west. it is said, and contracted for
about $50 worth OF goods to be delivered
to the camp of the Bowers Hydraulic
Dredging Company, then doing work on
the Potomac River. He claimed to be
an employe of the company, and said
he had to purchase tinware for the camp,
and was short of money. He induced
Tippett to advance IS under the belief
that the entire amount would be paid
when he delivered the goods at camp.
The police say two or three other
tricks were played in Washington by
Borgia before he left the city. He has
been heard of in several places, but
has successfully evaded arrest. IL the
authorities at Camden decline to sur
render Borgia, he will be brought back
as soon as similar charges now pending
there against him are disposed of.

AUDITOR WAS IN ERROR.
Retired Army Officer Held in Service
Entitled to Full Pay.

Mr.. Tracewell. Comptroller of the
Treasury, yesterday disapproved of the
decision of the Auditor for the War De-
partment, in which the latter held that
an officer retired for age under the act
of June SO, 1852, is chargeable with no
tice of his retirement on the date he
becomes sixty-four years of age, and
that he is not entitled to active pay
after that date unless thereafter en-
ployed on active duty other than the
command of troops. in the discretion OF
the President in time OF war.
The Comptroller. in his decision, said.
in part: 'If an officer, through an
exigency of the service. is actually held
TO the performance OF active service af-
ter the time when he should be re-
tired. that is, withdrawn from active
service, which DELAY is without any faul;
of the officer, and is 4 mere incident to
his retirement and transfer from the
active to the retired list | know OF no
legal principle that would deprive him
OF the pay which he has actually earned
by service which the Government not
only accepted. but compelled him to
perform.
The order of October &c, 1901. re-
tiring Major Francis B. Jones. does re-
tire him in the sense that Ii Will not
require another order to retire him, but
so long as he is held by competent
military authority to the performance
of active service as an incident to his
retirement, his retirement is in abey-
ance and incomplete, and does not be-
come effective so as to reduce his pay
from active service to retired pay dur
ing the time he was so held to active
service.
Il am Of the opinion that the Auditor
should ascertain from the War Depart
ment whether Major Jones was held by
competent military authority to the per-
formance Of active service from October
% to December 81, 1901, and If the War
Department should determine that he
was so held fof the whole, or any part.
of said period. he should be paid active
service pay for the time he was SO held.
The decision OF the Auditor is not ap-
proved"

BROUGHT SUIT UNDER OLD CODE.
Three Women Released From Marital

Three women who were deserted by
their husbands were yesterday released
from the bonds OF matrimony. The
DEGREES seyering them from the men

liar grounds.
Mrs. Mary Froerer was allowed a IL
vorce from her husband. Andrew
Froerer, on the ground OF desertion.
Proceedings In these suits were be-
gun before the code went iIco effect in

divorce. There are two or three hun
dred OF similar cases upon the docket.
which It is expected will be disposed o;
before the close OF the year.

CENSURE FOR POLICEMEN.
Recommendation in Case of Privates
Buriingame and Walsh.

Commissioner Macfarland, in passing
upon the recommendation OF Major Syl-
vester, Superintendent OF Police. rela-
tive to Policemen G. E. Burlingame and
T. E. Walsh, who were reported for
playing poker In Baer's Hall. in George
town. a few weeks ago. made the follow
ing statement:
THE offense of these officers was a
grave one and merited the condemna-
tion which it has received. In view of
their previous coed services and of the
testimonials to their general good char
aeter, and especially Of the recommen-
dation of the Chief of Police. that mercy
be shown them. l recommend that the
officers in question be deprived of an
equal amount of their annual leave,
that they be reprimanded by the Super
intendent OF Police. and that they be
transferred. in his discretion. to another
precinct. 1t is believed that these Of
fcers have learned the lesson of this
very regrettable occurrence"

Three Weeks Since Death
L.4pse Without Action.
Reported That Supposed Millionaire
Had Turned Property Over toa
Friend in Trust.

Although more than three weeks have
Mckay. at Atlantic City. his will has
not yet been offered fer probate.
Since his death there has been great
deal of speculation as to whether the
will is TO be filed in this city or in
Guthrie. Okla. which was his last known
place of legal residence.
About ten days ago Attorney Henry F.
Wocdard, one OF the executors named
in the will. left Washington. and 1t was
at once concluded that he had zone to
Guthrie fer the purpose OF Offering the
will of Colonel Mckay for probate Mr..
Wocdard has. however. returned to the
city ard the document has not been
filed.
While many are speculating as to
when and where the will was to be
filed, there were others who discussed
only the probable value of the estate
left by Colonel Mckay. Opinion on this
subject differed widely the value being
estimated variorsly at sums between
$zooOo0 and s5.co0.oO0
While these matters were being dis
cussed. 1t was also intimated that Col
onel Mckay some time before his death
had p!aced all his property, real and
personal. in trust with a friend. There
is 10 written contract CT this trust. 1t is
said. it having been made By Colonel Nc
Kay with the full confidence OF the per-
son he named as trustee
The whole transaction, 1t is stated,
was based on a verbal agreement be-
tween Cclorel Mckay and his friend.
While there are great many who BE-
lieve that such a contract was made,
stu there are others who contend that
Colonel Mckay WIS too good man Of
business TO enter iEfo such an agreement.

charged with having set fire to the Jack
son City shanties, that he would secure
his release on bail before the hearing
of the case before Justice of the Peace
E. F. Thompson at Rosslyn. appear to
have been groundless. The justice has
intimated that he would not hear the
application of Nelson for bail until the
preliminaries.
When Nelson was apprised of the at
titude OF the justice he became resigned
to remaining in jail until Tuesday. when
bond will be fxed In accordance with
the showing made in court at the pre-
.iminaries. Nelson has proved an ex-
ceptionally well behaved prisoner. It
is said he is very confident that he will
not even be held for the grand jury.
He says he has no doubt that trial of
the case would result in his acquittal.

1t was at last decided that the cub

provided and for a meal or two the cub
seemed satisfied. Later 1t rebelled and
refused to be nourished in any such
manner. The result was that the little

The experiment Of the Zoo authorities

Intelligent of the canine family.
Large circuses and travelling mensger-
ics frequently carry dog OF this spe-
cies with them. for the sole purpose OF
nourishing the young lions and tigers.
The chief reason for this is that j
mother lion is often prejudiced against
her young, and Will XIII them. An
other reason is that the lion reared with
a tractable animal is more apt TO be

Tho smoker and entertainment of the
its clubhouse on the Potomac River, al

an eminent success.

BABY LION REFUSED

Cast Off by Its Mother and

Great Dane Dog for Time Fed Zoo
Cub, But Later Rebelled
Against Charge.

A cub of one of the finest lioncsses at
the National Park Zoo has succumbed
to death from want OF parental care. and
while being nursed on bottle.
1t was about a week ago that one of
the African liouesses gave birth TO two
cubs. one of which died several hours
afterward from an injury sustained by
it's mother stepping On it, After kill
ing one of her young. the lioness took
violent dislike to the other and refused
to mother it. When DR.. Frank Baker.
superintendent of the Eco. and Head
Keeper Blackburn saw that the proper
affection was lacking. they made up
their minds to save it if possible.
The same lioncss gave birth to pair
of cubs a little more than year ago.
both of which died for lack of care and
attention. This time DR.. Cecil French
came to the front and said that he had
a Great Dane dog which he thought
might foster the young lion.
This was thought to be q good sug-
eestion. With great difficulty the young
lion was taken from it's mother. AS
soon as the unaffectionate mother real
lied that the keepers were going to
take her offspring from her she raised
great howl and fought everyone who
came near the cage door
The keeper played q game of strategy
and won. They secured the little one and
took 1t to DR.. French's dog hospital
which is just north of the Zoo. on

1t was thought that perhaps the Dane
would not take kindly to the neglected
one.
When the newcomer was placed in

rather questicningly, nosed 1t from head
to foot. laid down and allowed it to
nestle to her as she would one of her
own.
The manner in which the dog took
to the lion pleased the keepers. and
they were very much gratifed and in
hopes that the foster mother would rear
the baby to a strong and healthy animal.
For day or so the little fellow and
its new friend were great chums. Neither
showed a sign of distrust. Sometimes
there would be little crowding, but no
serious alterations.
