BALTIMORE, Oct. 3.-Thomas Selby, of
the hotel Selby, in Washington, came
here and obtained from United States
Commissioner Rogers a detainer for
Mrs. Kate F. Dee, now in Jail here for
forgery. He charges her with passing
on him two worthless checks in payment
of six weeks hotel board. From other
cities, including Rochester, Niagara and
Buffalo, come urgent requests for Mrs.
Dee's detention. About week ago she
was arrested here while in the act of
passing a forged check on sister of
charity, yet at the hearing, though the
proof was conclusive, much sympathy
was expressed for her. Captain Free
burger says she is wonderfully shrewd.
Her husband is John F. Dee, Buffalo
attorney. She is accompanied by her
nine-year-old boy, who has been eda-
Gated to assist her in her schemes. She
is thirty years old.

petition for Florence Maybrick's res

Edward is Mason, and a petition from
Masons to the queen through the crown
prince would be presented by him di.
rectly to the queen. Although more
than 100000 loyal subjects and free
Americans have besought justice and a
fair trial to her it is doubtful If the
queen has ever heard of the Maybrick
case. This concerted action of the Ma
sons, it is thought, will carry great
weight and receive consideration from
the English powers that has never vet
been vouchsafed in the cause of the
helpless little American who is in the
clutches of English law.

Ravaged by Typhoid.

SCRANTON, Pa, Oct. 3.-Forest City,
twenty miles north of here, is threat
ened with typhoid fever epidemic, and
the borough authorities, unable to en-
force obedience to orders, have appealed
to the state board of health to send an
officer whose authority will be unques-
toned. DR.. Taylor reports thirty-two
serious cases developed this week, and
recommends the closing of schools until
the worst is over. Forest City is a min
ing town of phenomenal growth, many
of its cizens being Huns and Poles. it
is built on sloping hillsides, and the
drainage from improperly constructed
cesspools which has percolated the
sandy soil and polluted the wells is the
alleged cause.
