John j. Bowes, From ireland, Allowed

less as result of wounds received while
serving the United States, and Mr.. Sargent
thought II the least the country could do to
take care of him for the remainder of his
days
The position of the immigration officials
was embarrassing on account of Bowes'
helpless condition, and they could not per-
nit him to land unless assured he would
not become a public charge. Friends COM
municated with the President and other
steps were taken TO secure special dtspen-

take care of Bowes disposed of the case.

Slocum Survivors.

The President today received visit from
eighteen members of the organization of
the General SIocum survivors. who came to
speak to him In the interests of the Sui
ger bill for the relief of the victims of that
terrible disaster. There was not a person
In the party but who lost one or more dear
ones. and they presented pathetic spec
tacle.
There were two little boys In the party
who will be living marks of the horror Of
the affair. They are Ernest Addicks,
seven years old. and William ELL. ten years
of age The former lost two brothers and
two sisters. He himself was terribly burn
ed about the head. and 1t was necessary to
resort to the skin-grafting process to save
his life. One of his brothers furnished the
necessary material. William Ell was also
burned about the head and had to be re-
stored to health by the same treatment.
Both of the little boys remained In the hos
pital four months.
The party was accompanied by Joseph
BernelI, president of the borough OF Queens,
Tomorrow the entire body, augmented by
several arrivals from New York later to-
day, viii appear before the House commit

such were invited to receptions. dinners and

not over fifteen feet in diameter: that
the fire started In one or two packages.
viz: arms chest containing rifles and guam

would have been impossible for any per-

PRIOR WAS A GOOD ONE
FoRGERIEs AT CANTON,
OHIO, AGGREGATE $500, 900.

CANTON, Ohio. February City Audi
tor Ashbrook has made an extended inyes-
tigation Of the forgeries OF Canton water
works extension bonds and says he discov-
cred that $oo0. 900 had been forged by the
late L. w. Prior OF Cleveland instead of
100000 as previously announced. He found
ave different series, A, B, c, D and ID had
been issued and all were found In the safes
of Cleveland banking institutions. Each OF
the bonds had two OF the coupons detached
to give the impression that these had been
paid through the banking house Of Kountze
Brothers. New York.
Ashbrook took one of the coupons from
each series, giving his personal receipt for
them, and brought them to Canton. He
will send the coupons to Kountze Brothers
Immediately, with the instructions that no
coupons tallying with them shall be
honored.
