PIGEON ELUDEs HAWK.
Sees Window in The Star Building
Open and Darts In.

\ Cut off from his chosen haven of rest,
the Post Office tower, by the appearance
of the Post Office hawk, a large carrier
pigeon flew into an open window on the
fifth floor of The Star building this morn
ing.
He was heading for the Post Office
tower, when the hawk sighted him and
gave chase. The pigeon was coming from
the west and the hawk from the south.
The hawk evidently saw that the pigeon
was heading for the Post Office tower. so
he changed his course slightly. with the
apparent view of heading him off.
The pigeon seemed to anticipate this, for
he shifted his own course slightly and
shot straight for The Star building. When
the pigeon sighted the hawk he lowered
the line of his flight considerably. AS he
came near The Star building he was on a
level with the fifth story. Seeing an open
window, he darted in. The hawk, when he
found he had been outwitted, took a few
turns around the Post Office tower and
then struck off toward Mount Pleasant on
hunting expedition.
The pigeon was fed and cared for and
later turned loose. He was released at a
time when the hawk was across the Poto-
mac river on one OF his regular early
afternoon excursions in search of field
mice.

OFFICIALS HELD BlAMElESS
MR.. WILSON'S STATEMENT ON
ASYLUM ESCAPES.
Incident One Likely to Happen in
the Best Regulated Institutions,
He Declares.

After a consultation with Secretary
Ballinger OF the Interior Department,
Assistant Secretary Jesse E. Wilson
made final statement yesterday evening
regarding the recent escape of three dam
gerous inmates from the Government
Hospital for the Insane.
Mr.. Wilson denies positively that the
officials OF the institution are careless. or
that the escapes reflect in any way upon
their administration.
/ He said that the incident was one which
might have happened to any institution
where large numbers of prisoners are
kept. and the escape reflects in no way
upon the efficiency Of the officials nor
proves that the windows are insecurity
guarded.
IAN three of those who broke open the
grill which guards the outside windows
says Mr.. Wilson, were large and power
full men. and II took the combined efforts
of the trio to dislodge the iron scroll
work. which is firmly set in each aper-
ture.
In my opinion, 1t would be impossible
for one man alone to effect his escape
unaided. and precautions will be taken
hereafter to prevent coilusion between
two or more of the inmates, which should
effeCtually block any further attempts at
escape in the future.
AS the building was erected more than
twenty years ago. 1t is possible that the
grills which guard all of the lower VIM
dows may have become weakened by age,
although thorough inspection is made
of these gratings at stated intervals TO
prevent the prisoners from cutting
through them by degrees at spare mo-
ments, and thus paving the way for
escape
LAS an additional precaution, an extra
guard will he stationed hereafter on the
outside of the building during the night.
and should one be deemed insufficient, an
other may be added.
while these extra precautions seem
to me to be ample, it has been decided
to ask Congress at the next session to
appropriate a sufficient sum to fit all of
the windows on the ground floor of How
ard Hall with second grating, which
will be heavy enough to prevent any num-
Der of men, however strong, from dislodg-
ing them
The episode was regrettable In every
way. but it must be put down as one of
those incidents which are bound to hap
pen occasionally at the best regulat ted
of pententiaries or other like institutions:
and it is reasonably certain, in view of
the added safeguards. that the affair will
not soon be repeated"

all that could be expected: IN fact, more
than Is usually the case. Mr.. West has
some very good ideas. and is working
them out to the benefit of the children

The schooner E. r. S. Dougherty, be-
longing to Capt. George Trader of Lower
Machodoc creek. was totally destroyed by
fire Tuesday night while lying at anchor
in Machodoc not far from the home OF

cendiary origin, as there had been no fire
or lights on the vessel for several months
past. and it is stated that when Capt.
Trader reached the burning boat the odor
of burning oil was perceptible.
The fire started about O'Clock in the

of any value. The Dougherty was one
