LAST DAY IN MARfH'S JAN.
Colonel Finneson's Attorneys Confident
That He WH Be Released THIS

SAN RAFAEL, CAL, May 1s.-This is
the last night that Colonel Peter A..
Finnegan will spend in the Marin County
Jail. He will go free in the morning and
Mrs. Emily B. Finnegan will not receive
the $3.50 ordered to be paid to ber by Judge
AngeIotti. Flnnegan's attorneys say that
Judge Angelotti can but give the colonel
his freedom. and they insist that Mrs.
Finnegan will not be paid.
The public may think it strange that
Colonel Finnegan can afford TO keep his
daughters at the Hotel Rafael and yet
plead before the Superior Court OF Marin
County for his liberty upon the grounds
that he is a pauper and unable to raise
enough to pay his wife's alimony; yet
the attorneys for Colonel Finnegan state
that his sworn statement filed wltn
County Clerk Thomas Bonneau IS true, ana
that he has not committed perjury. The
amount of Colonel Finnegan's indebted
ness to his wife is now $105O and this sum
will not be realized from the assets Tor
some time TO come, if at all.
Colonel Finnegans last night In lali is
like any other. The prison fare, heaped
on single tin plate, IS not what ne re-
ceives. He eats the best and washes II
down with wine and such liquid refresh

WASHINGTON P0PULISTS UxASE.
Butter Scored for Selling Out
HIS Party.

TACOMA, WASH, May 1s.-During the
last session of the State Legislature the
middIe-of-the-road Populists broke loose
and quietly formed a separate State or
ganization. L. E. RAIDER, formerly editor
of the Tacoma Sun, was made president,
and the other officers of the organization
were divided among prominent Populists.
To-day they issued an address calling
for five district conventions, for the pur-
pose of selecting ten delegates to the Pop
ulist convention, which is to meet at Nash
vile on July 4.
In this address they denounce fusion,
and numerically score United States Sem
ator Marion Butler for selling out the
PopuIist party.
They claim the Populists were bunkoed
in all the fusion deals, and declare that
the only way to carry out their reforms is
to remain distinct and separate organ
ization. To these district conventions
none will be admitted who do not un-
equivocslly indorse the Omaha and st.
Louis platforms ana the ElIensburg State
platform and are known as oId-time
Populists.
The general impression here is that the
desire for this separation i not unanimous
among the Populists, but that enough are
IN favor OF 1t to make q serious split in
the fusion forces and greatly help the
Republicans to capture the State. The
district conventions are to meet prior to
June 20

SANTA FE EMPLOEES WARNED.
RailtUay Men May Not Engage IN Any
Outs fde SpecMInttons.


ALBUQUERQUE, n. Mex, May 18.-
President Ripley of the Santa Fe system
has Just issued warming" to all en-
ployes of the railroad. 1t takes the form
of a circular and has been freely dis
tributed in Albuquerque and other points
where large numbers OF railroad men
make their homes.
The gist of the warning is contained in
the first section of the document, which
altogether is quite lengthy. This section
Is as follows:
The entire working time of all employees is
paid for by the company and N ust be devoted
to its Interests. No officer or employe will be
permitted to engage in other bus ines occupy
Ing any part of his time or requiring his at
tention, without the express sanction OF the
undersigned in writing
The other sections of the document 20
into the details OF what is meant by
''otner business" and seem TO even object
to speculation In real estate. The little
side issues in which most railroad men
are interested more or less are all tabooed.
In referring TO the matter the Albu-
querque Citizen says that the new order
is simply mystifying and likely TO cause
confusion as well as loss to mum ber oi
men.
