A Late American Pattern to Be Sem
 to Japan's Prime Minister.

New York, Sept. 23.-Consul-G Gen eral Uchuda has received a letter from Count Okuma, prime minister of Japan, asking him to send an arti- ficial leg. Mir. Uchida yesterday gave a dealer an order for leg to cost $100, and it will be shipped to Japan.

The Japanese statesman was badly in jured and lost his right leg. That is how he came to give an order to the Japanese consul-general for a new leg according to the latest American pat tern

A FURTHER DELAY.
Another Unexpected Hitch in tn
 Prison Contract Matter.

Governor McCord, Attorney Gen eral Frazier and the govern or's private secretary, MT. c. J. Me Cord, returned yesterday from Yuma, where the governor had been in con ference with MT. Ives, Of the State of Arizona Improvement company, rela- tive to the prison contract. It was expected that the contract would be signed and arrangements completed for turning over the prisoners to the cured. One of the terms of the modi- fled contract had not been complied with. This was that the company should first have machinery of the value of s20,OOO on the ground before beginning operations under the con- tract. The governor had originally demanded that the company should execute a $20,000 bond, but at the suggestion of MT. Ives three weeks ago he gave way and the machinery modification was agreed to. The gov ernor estimated that the machinery on hand was not of a greater. value than 17,000. He accordingly declined to sign the contract
 MT. Ives left on Wednesday night for the east to purchase the necessary amount of machinery to meet tie terms of the modified contract. He expects to have it on the ground by October 10

Wisconsin Witnesses Identify
 Photographs of Her

 After the Murder.
A Sensational Intimation that the Chicago Police Are Engaged In Trying to Intimidate Witnesses For the Defense.

Chicago, Sept. 23.-Viewed from various standpoints, today's proceed ings in the Luetgert murder trial were cured within three weeks. In the face of the sensational circumstantial evidence that has been produced, that Mrs. Luetgert met her death in her husbands sausage factory on May 1, three witnesses testified today that they saw the woman alive on May 5 and 4. One of those witnesses talked to her and believes from descrip- tions and photographs of Mrs. Luet- gert that the woman he saw was Mrs. Luetgert. This witness was Matt J. Sholey, barkeeper at the Hotel Maple, Kenosha, Wis.
 He said he saw a strange woman at the Hotel Maple on the evening of May 8. He talked with her nearly ten minutes. She asked to be directed to Mueller's, a farmer in the neighbor- hood, but as no one seemed to know of such person, the woman left. The following day Sholey again saw the woman. He identified a photograph of Mrs. Luetgert as the woman.
 Policeman Henry Feldspan of Ke- nosha, Wis, testified that he saw a strange woman in the police station in his town on May 3. The witness identified a picture of Mrs. Luetgert as closely resembling the woman he saw. William Gunsten, clerk in the Grant hotel, Kenosha, identified the photograph as a picture of a woman he saw in his hotel on May 3. He de- scrfbed the woman and corroborated the evidence of the other witnesses.
 The trial opened tocay with a sen- sational intimation by ex-Judge Vim h1ent that the police were intimidating witnesses for the defense. Ex-Judge Vincent asked that the jury be ex- cludSd while he made a statement After the jury had retired, with indig- nation in his torres and force in his declarations, he said: eff the court please, have strong reason to believe that the police are interfering with the witnesses of the defense, trying to intimidate them. I don't know abso- lutely that this is true, but the indica. tions point almost directly to thai conclusion. I desire an order from the court prohibiting such action or the part of the police"
 ''If that is true there should be al investigation" remarked States At torney Dencon. 'If any witness fol the defense has been intimidated il has been done without the knowledg, of the state, and I do not approve O it.'' "I will say now for the benefit O the police" said Judge Tuthill, witt severity in his tones, ''that if I hea of any interference with witnesses ol either side in this case I will dea with the offenders, and my dealing will not be gentle. This defendant ha rights here and he will be protected. ''Why not order an investigation :? queried States Attorney Dencon ''Mr Dencon, this court will make an order that it deems proper; that vii do.'

Kingston, N. r., Sept. 23.-The screams of Margaret Corners, about 20 years of age, attracted passersby into the building on Broadway where Dr. H. A. Toilette of this city has his offices, yesterday afternoon.

When the door was opened the girl rushed out into the hallway and said:
 Hes drunk, sirs," pointing to Dr. Toilette, who with flushed face stood in the doorway. "He tried to hurt me, dragged me on the floor and hurt my mouth"
 The girls mouth was covered with blood, and she looked as if she had been i'll treated by some one.
 Cant some one have the man ar rested?" pleaded thegina addressing the crowd that had by this time thronged the hallway.
 Have the doctor arrested your self,'' responded a burly fellow
 But this advice the girl refused to take, saying that she did not care to enter police court as a complainant. Finally the girl went away, and soon the crowd dispersed, some of the men making derogatory remarks about the
