NATIONS BIRTHDAY
At DISTRICT JAIL
WatSon's Fourth Behind BarS-Five
Prisoners Set Free.

Independence Day is the same as any
States District Jail There is no change
in the daily routine OF their prison lives
which In any way reminds them that
outside the Jail walls all patriotic eiti-
zens are celebrating the anniversary of
the nations birth.
OF the SS3 prisoners imprisoned in the
District Jail. probably none chafed more
because of his incarceration than James
NJ A. Watson. the District clerk who is
accused of embezzling nearly 500. 900.
Independence Day a year ago was cele-
brated in quite different way by Wat
son. Then he had no idea that today he
would be pacing up and down the cor
ridor OF the south wing OF the District
Jail COR his health.
This morning Watson turned out with
the other prisoners confined in the south
wing. and for half an hour paced up and
down with measured tread. By strange
coincidence Watson's companion in his
walks is c b. Clancey. also accused OF
enbezzlement.
The jail authorities say that Watson
is a model prisoner. He has never COM
planned and appears anxious TO adapt
himself TO the surroundings. He spends
a great deal OF his time in reading and
writing.
There were. however. five prisoners in
the District jail for whom the day
dawned as a day OF liberty as well as
Independence Day Their terms OF i'm
prisonment expired this morning at s
o'clock and a few minutes after that
hour they were released from prison.
They are Dennis Harris. Philip Jackson,
Robert Brown. all colored. and Benja-
min Minor and William James. white.
These had served sentences ranging
from fifteen TO 100 days. There are
three other prisoners in the tail whose
terms of Imprisonment viii expire to-
morrow They said they will celebrate
the Fourth on Monday next. as II was
impossible for them TO take part In the
observance OF the occasion today.
Benjamin G. Hill. who is under SEN
tence TO be hanged July 20. was also
out with the other prisoners for exer-
else. He is In a better frame OF miad
than he has been at any time since HIS
conviction, or even since the uight as
murdered his Wife at their home On Mis-
souri, Avenue.

Juvenile Washington has seldom been
as happy as it was this morning when
through the kindness OF several hundred
charitably inclined persons. 1850 or
more orphans and poor boys and girls
attended the baseball game at American
League Park. The little ones. over
whose lives a cloud OF gloom. in most
cases. hangs. and who would otherwise
have spent a gloomy and quiet Fourth.
were admirably taken care OF, and to
the last of them they had an enjoyable
time.
II the Fourth of July and such ur-
precedented charity on the part Of
Washingtonians came more than once a
year, IL is not improbable that some of
Washington's youngsters who spend
their time within the cold gray walls
OF orphanages would expire with Joy.

RELATIVES SEEK A
MISSING FIREMAN
Watchman McGivern Drops
Out of Sight.
HIS POSITION IS FORFEITED
Chief Belt Gusts Him Out of the Fire
Department-His Sec
ond 0ffense.

Aloysius McGivern. a watchman in the
Fire Department. has disappeared and
not the slightest trace OF him can be
found On Saturday last he received his
pay. That night he suddenly vanished
from his haunts, and. In the meantime,
he has been dismissed from the depart
ment on the charge of desertion.
McGivern resided at 149 + Street
northeast with his mother. He is about
thirty years old, unmarried, and more or
less well-known in the downtown sec
tion Of the city.
Only few OF his friends have occa
informed of his absence from home, and
the mystery has also been kept from
the police
Went for Walk.
Before leaving home last Saturday Nc
Givern signified his intention OF taking a
walk. That was the last seen OF him
by his mother. He failed TO return
home. and no word has been received
from him since.
The friends of the young man are at
loss to find an explanation for hts
strange absence. Il Is believed by some,
however, that he left the city on account
OF recent troubles with his superior Of
Acers in the department.
About two weeks ago he was taken be-
fore the trial board on the charge OF
leaving his post OF duty without permis-
sion. For this punishment of sixty
days work without the regular leave
was meted out to him.
In Trouble
It was shortly after 12 o'clock that
McGivern received his salary at the
quarters of Truck Company B. He left
the building Immediately and had not
reported TO the foreman at 6:90 o'clock
the same evening.
A report of his absence was forward
ed to Chief Belt, reaching that official
on Monday morning The chief decided
to take immediate action. and at once
recommended TO the District Commits
sioners that the missing fireman be dis
char-ed-
The recommendation was approved last
night.
| A little over year ago McGivern was
accused of a similar offense. and after
/ the charge had been aired before the
! trial board he was reduced from
vate 10 q position as watchman. He was
then stationed at local theater.
! 1t was there the second charge was
registered against him. for which the
penalty mentioned was inflicted.
