CONSULAR AGENT
1T ZANZIBAR
IS A FUGITIVE

Washintgon, Dec 1s.-The state depart
ment has sent out a notice TO all consul
lar and diplomatic officers to be on the
lookout for Frederick McMaster OF New
York, until recently the American consul
lar agent at Zanzibar. and who Is now
accused OF securing 5000 from bank In
Nice by falsely representing himself To
Harold s. Vanburen. the American con-
sui at that place. 10 be en- route to his
post and in need OF money because OF the
loss OF his pocketbook, whereas he was
really under suspension from the consular
service and on his way home.
He was TO have been dismissed because
OF misconduct In Zanzibar, which was re-
ported TO the state department through
the foreign office in London and Mr.. Reid,
the American ambassador, there.
Mr. McMaster has had a great deal OF
difficulty with the state department He
was appointed TO the consular service by
President Roosevelt, who was personally
interested in the man. In March, 1906.
Even before Mr.. McMaster went to
Zanzibar he was investigated by the state
department He was married just before
he was ready TO start for his post, but
before he got away woman appeared
at the department and said that she was
a first wife OF the new consular onlcer
and that she had been given alimony or
$50 a month by the court which granted
divorce. There was one child. McMaster
pleaded that he could not pay such a
large amount.
The charges made by the woman were
investigated by Mr.. Pierce, then third as
sistant secretary Of state, who found In
her favor. The matter was finally set
tied by McMaster agreeing to pay SIS a
month 10 the support OF the child. He
was permitted TO go on 10 Zanzibar ana
assume his duties as American consul
II was not a great while. according 20
the reports which have been received
here before he became involved in diff
culties. The most notorious OF these was
an affair in a barroom. The consul made
several demands for favors, and upon be-
ing refused them became so pugnaciouS
that a huge black policeman was called.
He was quickly put TO fight by McMas-
ter.
The chief OF police arrived later, and he,
too, was vanquished. McMaster was final
ly restrained after a time, and that par
ticular incident was closed. IL is said
there were others just as bad. Details of
his conduct reached the foreign office In
London. which has practical control over
Zanzibar. and the officials there told Mr..
Reid. the American ambassador to Great
Britain. Mr.. Reid Immediately reported
the matter to the state department. and IL
was decided that McMaster aud the con-
sular service should be separated.

into the Casey Athletic club. sustaining
the comedy in a highly pleasing manner.

an unusually attractive one appeared To
tunes. and sang with spirit and good
musical effect.
The olio opens with Lena La CouVier.

APPLAUSE. Edward Johnson aud jeanette
Buckly in a travesty prove themselves
versatile and furnish much pleasure TO
