of heroic halo about Client, but this
is suddenly dissipated when she dis
covers his baser passions. She re-
fuses to have anything to do with
him and lays plans to escape.

OPERATOR OFpAIGL0N
CAFE DISAPPEARS
Employees and Owner of Property
Left With Problems of
Wages and Rent.

Frank Bongiovanni, proprietor Of
the L'Aiglon Cafe, at Eighteenth
street and Columbia road, has disap-
peared from his place of business.
leaving two groups to figure out for
themselves some perplexing problems.
The first group constitutes the en-
ployes of the place. They want to
ask Mr.. Bongiovanni some questions
concerning wages to be paid.
The others are the representatives
of the Laura Sanner Post estate,
owner of the property, whose inter-
est centers in the future of the prop
erty and what is to become of the
five-year lease they claim has been
signed.
One of the peculiar angles which
cropped up since yesterday when the
closed sign was hung on the door Of
l. Aiglon is the fact that Bongiovanni
had paid up in full the January rent
for the establishment. Consequently
possession still vests in him until
February 1, or until he fails to meet
the rent charges during the next five
years. A legal representative of the
Post estate, however, was on the
property this morning, making ar
rangements, he said, for the protec-
ton of the property pending news of
the whereabouts of Mr.. Bongiovanni.

posed provisions of the bill to remove
control of Industrial alcohol distri-
button from the Bureau of Internal
Revenue to the prohibition commits
sioner, declaring 1t would seriously
affect industries.
Wayne Il. Wheeler, counsel for the
Anti-Saloon League, declared the bill

POSTMASTER OF N. Y,
E. M. MORGAN, DIES
Veteran Official Had Served Post
Office Department More Than
Fifty Years.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. January 9.-Edward
NJ. Morgan, once described by Post
master General New as the best
known postmaster in the world
died today as the result of an opera
tion for appendicitis last Monday.
He had spent more than so years
In the postal service and except for a
short interval had been postmaster of
New York City for the past IT years.
He was SO years old.
Born In Marshall, Mich, he came to
New York with his parents when he
was 5 years old. He entered the

rier.
Mr.. Morgan was married to Miss
Frances Paterson of New York, who
survives him. He also leaves three
daughters-Mrs. David Arundel, Min
neapolis; Miss Jane Morgan of New
York and Mrs. ]. Fry Nounnan, Nash

Postal officials were shocked to
learn of the death of Mr.. Morgan.
who, through his length of service,
was one of the best known men in the
service.
Postmaster General New, in a state
ment, said:
II am personally grieved. because /
hHc" Oil " ell anu esteem u
him highly as man. From the
viewpoint of the department the serv-
ice has sustained a great loss. Mr.
Morgan attained the top from the
very humblest beginning, having
started as letter carrier on June 80,
1873, while a mere boy.
Il think 1t is safe to say that Mr..
Morgan was the oldest in point OF
service of any high official in the Post
Office Department.
His death Is indeed a great loss to
the department and one to be sincere
ly and deeply regretted"
Mr.. New referred to the dinner given
Mr.. Morgan by the merchants and
mmercial organizations OF New
York in celebration of the fftieth
anniversary of his entrance into the
service, which was attended by five
Postmasters General under whom he
had served, each of whom had some

excellence of Mr.. Morgan's service.

as acting postmaster at New York to
succeed Edward NJ. Morgan. Mr.. Kiely
had been assistant postmaster.

WEALTHY INDIAN
Witness Tells House Jackson Bar
nett Did Not Understand
100000 Deal.

The incompetent" Indian, Jackson
Barnett. did not have sufficient in
tclligcnce to understand what was
being done when he agreed to diver
sion of s1,100,o00 from his estate to
his wife and a church organiZa ton,
according to the testimony of his
former guardian, Carl J. OHornett of
Henryetta. Ohio. The latter also ex-
planned 10 the House committee which
s investigating Indian affairs in
Oklahoma the alleged kidnapping
If Barnett by his wife and his mar
riage to her.
The fact that the Interior Depart
ment took the initiative in diverting
the s1,1NO,o00 from Barnett's estate,
was divuleed in the testimony Nof A. j.
Ward attorney at Tulsa, Okla, for
the Internal Revenue Bureau. who
acted as Barnett's attorney at the re-
quest of the Indian Commission. -
Ward said that in his opinion Bar
nett was more Intelligent than he
had been led to believe by reports.
He also spoke English quite we'll
for an Indian" From conversations
with him Ward received the impress
sion that Barnett was being looked
after by his wife and that though
he was quite content to live in
Okmulgee County. Mrs. Barnett had
WduIeu " IlONG.
Both Came to Capital.
Discussing again the drafting of
the settlement, Ward said that both
Rarnetts came to Washington Nc
Guigan representing Mrs. Barnett.
In conferences with McGuigan,
Ward first suggested that only $780,
900 or 100000 be settled upon Mrs
Barnett. McGuigan at first would
neither agree nor disagree, Ward said
but finally said he would only agree
on a settlement in which Mrs. Bar
nett would get what the law would
award her were she to become Bar
nett's widow. This was necessary,
McGuigan told him, because he had
reasons to believe that the Barnett
marriage would be attacked, and any
settlement in which Mrs. Barnett re-
ceived less than she was legally en-
titled to would be looked upon as
concession and used as a further ar
gument In attacking the marriage.
