ZOO KEEPER TO Be
PAID FOR LOST EYE
House Claims Committee FaVorS
$1,000 Compensation For
A. C. Burgess.

After four years Albert c. Burgess,
a keeper at the National Geological
Park. has some prospect OF being
compensated for the loss Of an eye
while in the discharge of his duty at
the monkey house.
The House Claims Committee has
reported favorably a bill to pay Mr..
Burgess $1,000. He originally asked
for S2,5OO.
The committee report shows that
"the injury to Mr.. Burgess which
caused the loss OF his eye was re-
ceived April 5, 1915, while he was in
the performance OF his duties as a
keeper in the National Geological
Park.
The day was Monday following
Easter, when children, with their par
ents and friends, came to the park in
great numbers to enjoy the pastime
OF egg rolling. During that day
there were $4,000 people in the park.
I'm the afternoon a considerable
number OF rough and unruly large
boys and young men came in and
mingled with the crowd. In the mon
key house they created some dis
turbance and a group OF five, who
were somewhat intoxicated. were es-
pecially noisy and offensive.
Mr.. Burgess and another keeper
who were on duty there were trying,
with the help Of the headqeeper, to
get this party out Of the building
when both keepers were struck and
knocked down. The men then forced
their way through the crowd and ran
toward the western boundary Of the
park. They escaped.
Mr.. Burgess was given immediate
attention, and it was found that his
eyeglasses had been broken by the
blow and one eye lacerated, which
was later removed"

MD. SUSPECT STILL
CLINGS TO DENIAL
Cummings Admits First AIibi
Was False, But Claims
Another.

Although George Cummings. the
negro. held in connection with the
murder of George Peters, the Jericho
Park farmer. and the wounding of his
daughter, Katherine. has been subject
to hours of continuous questioning, he
today still denies having been con-
nected in any way with the crime.
Upon being question last night,
the negro did admit to the police
that he was not at home on Sunday.
as hepreviously stated. but added that
he was at the home Of a friend in this
city.
Despite the fact that he has been
identified by two men as the negro
who was seen in the Bowie-Jericho
arkArundeI section Sunday after
noon, Cummings declares that he was
not in that section.
Detectives who are investigating
his story and who have been ques-
tioning him today declared "he has a
lot to explain"
Deputy Sheriff Thomas V Garrison,
Of Prince Georges county, said today
he expected to present requisition
papers from Governor Harrington, of
Maryland, to the District Supreme
Court early next week.
The police are without word from
the police officials Of Mcintyre. Ga,
relative to the story Cummings told
yesterday about his present name
being an alias, and that he Is an es-
capped convict.
Detective Lieutenant Guy Burlin-
game said today Cummings probably
would be taken before Miss Peters at
the Emergency Hospital again in an
effort 10 have her identify him posi-
lively.
