B|GAMY CHARGE
SEEMS LIABLE
Strange Matrimonial Expert
ence of Fred voeller---
Another Case.

Bigamy is suggested in a discovery
made in the marriage records by Glenn
K. Quinn. assistant clerk to Judge
Robinson. The records show Fred
Voeller as having married Alice Meyers
on April last, and Alice Wright Aka
ma on April 10 following. In the first
case the ceremony was performed by
Rev. Father Stephen, the brides age
being given as 10. Rev. H. H. Parker
is credited with being the oficiant at
the second marriage, the bride s age
being registered, as 16.
All this looks as If the bridegroom
were a bigamist. But it is not the
whole record. Further research dis
closed the fact that on April 10, the
date of the second marriage, Alfred
K. Akana was granted a divorce from
his wife, Alice Wright Akana, on the
ground that she had gone through a
marriage ceremony with Fred Voeller
on April 9, thereby committing crime
that is statutory cause of divorce.
1t would appear therefore that Voel-
Ter had married the same woman twice
inside of eleven days. The matter is
now in the hands of the Attorney Gen.
eral and may be presented to the sit
ting grand jury before its discharge.
A case of bigamy against the woman
is suggested by the facts from the
records. Why the authorities did not
take it up at the time of the Aka
ma divorce is not clear.

F. F. Calusopa sues for annulment
of his marriage to Lewaina, alleging
that when they were married she was
the wife of Akana, then and still
living.

Mr.. Macfarland's Comment.

When asked for an expression of opinion
regarding Freedmen's Hospital. particularly
relative to its inflammable buildings. Com
missoned Macfarand said today: This
hospital has always given us deep thought
| looked at 1t last week with pleasure, and
thought that II was "A great mercy that the
old frame structure had not been attacked
by fire with a possible serious loss of life.
Now that We have the warning of the re-
cent fire. 1t is very evident how much the
new structure Is needed. | hope when fin
ished il will be found TO be sufficicE, for all
the needs of the institution, but If not |
hope Congress will promptly give what
ever additional money is necessary to make
* large enough for its purpose"
That is one reason why feel 50 strongly
that We ought not to have the municipal
hospital at the Washington Asylum grounds
a year longer. We ought all. officials and
citizens alike, to unite in a most earnest APP
peal to Congress at the next session To put
the municipal hospital in permanent suit
able structures on the municipal hospital
site on Brightwood avenue. 1t is shameful
that honest poor people should have no
other provision by the municipality when
they must have its medical and surgical
treatment than makeshift frame buildings
located between the jail and the workhouse.
where convlcts from the workhouse are
also necessarily accommodated.
I'm the case of u fire at the frame build
ings of The Washington Asylum Hospital we
might have serious loss of life and then
every one would see what the Commission
ers have seen so clearly and have urged
upon Congress for the past six years
sometimes, l am sorry to say. against OPP
position from citizens who ought TO have
been among the first to support the Com
missioner5 In securing an adequate int
nicipal hospital on the suitable site pur-
chased for the purpose. to care for the poor
in those cases where existing hospitals will

half of Freedmen's Hospital and
Other Structures

The fact that Freedmens Hospital which
during the fire at the American League

parenty of the most inilammahle con-
structlon. il is stated, has caused CuuSli-
Commissioners for a number of years Al
though this hospital is not under the adj
ministration of the local government tho
District officials have a deep interest IN it
because, under contract with the board Of
charities, 1t takes many OF the INDECENT peo-
pie of the District for treatment ANA Il
was mainly in view of this fact and tho
inflammabe nature of the institutions
buildings that the Commissioners have al
ways been so active before Congress in
attempts to secure an appropriation with
which a new modern hospital could DO
constructed and the present frame build
ines abandoned
The last Congress appropriated Sl0iN0
for this purpose and the new brick and
stone building is nearing completion. How
ever this appropriation is not as large as
was asked for and the officials of the hos
pital say that II is inadequate to answr: all
of the purposes OF the institution. They
Will be unable to build the new home for tho
nurses out of this sum and until an addi-
tIonal appropriation can be secured the
nurses will have to use the present frame
structures. and according TO this condition
the officials of the u strict building fear
that these old frame structures viii not bs
