A KIDNAPPING CASE.
T. w. Fenwick Leaves His Wife in
 Mourning and in Poverty.

A sad faced and sick woman sat in the sheriff's office last night making complaint of Kidnapping against her husband, T. w. Fenwick, who until 3 o'clock yesterday morning lived with her at 42S1s South Center street. At that time he took their little 2-year-old boy saying he was going up town to buy some groceries. When he did not return late in the afternoon Mrs. Fen wick grew uneasy and went to the store where her husband had told her he was going to make his purchases. He had not been there and his wife could find no trace of him or the baby. At the time Mrs. Fenwick was at the sheriffs office the kidnaper could not have gone away by rail. She thought he might have driven to some nearby station An effort was made last night cut of town or should try to leave last night The officers believed, though, that it was more likely that he was still in the city.
 Fenwick has a mania for kidnapping. His wife said he tried to steal the baby when it was only eight days old and that she prevented him from doing it by getting out of bed and seizing it. About four months ago while living ct La Junta, Colo, he took the child to a store. Before leaving the house he bade the baby kiss it's mother good bye, but she did not understand that he meant farewell. He took a northbound train and was next heard of at Pueblo, where he was arrested He was taken back to La Junta and put under bond of S1,OOO to support | his wife and not carry the child away without the mothers consent for six months. Soon after that Fenwick, who was in ill health, decided to come to Phoenix. l He arrived here with his wife and the baby just before Christmas.
 One thing that invests this case with extraordinary sadness is that only if | teen days ago Mrs. Fenwick gave birth | tO d SSCOuu DdUy d1iu IS HOW ldE lIOH a we'll woman, though she has for more than a week been compelled to per- form such heavy labor as washing

The Kearsarge and Kentucky to Be
 Launched This Month

Washington, March 19.-By dint of great industry the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock company will launch the finest of our new bat tleships on the 24th of the present month-not quite twenty months from the day the keels were laid. The ships could have been launched two months ago, but, to facilitate their final com pletion, they have been kept purposely on the stocks till a magnificent new crane of great capacity could be erect ed to handle the armor and other heavy weights yet to go in the vessels.
 The dual event of two ships of such magnitude being launched on the same day will mark an era in the history

THROUGH THE HOUSE.
Postofice Appropriation Bill Passed
 Yesterday.

Washington, March 19.-The house today passed the postoff1ce appropria- tion bill which has been under con sideration since Wednesday. The main points of attack today were the appropriations of $3O,000, oo0 for the railway transportation of mails and S171O 900 for special facilities between New York and New Orleans. and $2a.- coo for special facilities from Kansas City to Newton, Kan.
 All efforts to reduce the appropria- tion for railroad transportation sig nally failed and the vote on the south ern mail subsidy was v to 9S against striking out. By neat parliamentary maneuvering the opponents of the subsidy were prevented from getting a direct vote on the motion to recommit with instructions.

1t was stated here to-day unofiicially that the
National Amateur Skating Association OF
America will apply for admission to the Inter
national Skating Union. McCulloch said that
he believed such an application would meet
with AN immediate and favorable response.
This would entitle the association to the priyi-
