destined for Delaeoa Bay. has attracted little
notice here.
The Graphic contends that In the special
circumstances Of the present war Great
Britain necessarily regards -four and other
provisions as contraband OF war. The
United States and Great Britain had prolonged
negotiations on this question In 1904. which
resulted In an agreement to solve the difficulty
by allowing the power desiring to treat
provisions as contraband to indemnify the
owners Of the cargocs to thor full value. with
u reasonable profit. This course will doubtless
be pursued In the present case.

ONE DAY IN JAIL.
Story of a Woman of the Town Won the
Jury.


A novel and interesting case was heard
yesterday in Justice Smiths court in
Butte; novel in that it resulted in a jury
fixing the punishment at one days i'm
prisonment in the county jail, and inter-
esting because of the straightforward
manner in which the defendant testified.
The young woman in the case is the
daughter of respectable parents who re-
Site in Butte. She has also sisters in this
city who hold the esteem of a large circle
Of friends. 1t appears that the girl has
been wayward and caused her parents
much uneasiness and that the latter have
endeavored to have their gay daughter
sent out of town. Recently she was ar
rested by the police on the charge of
street walking under the name of Maggie
Burns. The magistrate gave her a stiff
sentence with the alternative of leaving
the city inside of As hours. She did not
leave, and yesterday she was up before
Judge Smith and a jury on the charge of
vagrancy. She had no a..orney. Two po-
licemen were the prosecuting witnesses.
The jury listened to the evidence and it
is apparent that the lone girl enlisted the
sympathy of the talesmen. After the pros
ecution had finished its case the girl took
the stand in her own defense.
81 am, to put it straight prostitute. l
have paid SIS fine every month for six
months. 7 have as much right to live in
Butte as any OtTeT woman -OI my class.
I am not thief. Other women pay their
monthly fines and are permitted to live
unmolested by the law Why should /
|. be singled out for exile merely because
scme one says my parents want me to
leave town? 1 should at least enjoy the
same privileges accorded to other prosti-
tutes.
"Since you adopted your present mode
of living have your parents shown any
liSn0Sitj0n reclaim G 10 in
duce you to lead a better life?" asked a
juror of her.
''Well, should say not"
Have you applied any of your recent
earnings to the support Of your parents?"
the same juror asked.
mot a cent; they have asked me for
nothing
weren't you ordered to leave town."
"That was the preference given me when
the police judge sentenced me the other
day
Are you going to leave?"
mo, sir; am not going to leave. There
is no offense charged against me which
a fine will not satisfy
Have you ever been guilty of graft
ing?' the juror asked.
II never committed a felony. I am no
hyena. / don't try to injure anyone I
am peaceable. l am a woman of the
town and if that is a crime-well, you
know how it is and she smiled.
The jury retired to deliberate Some of
the jurors thought the girl ought to be
punished. The juror who asked the ques-
tions had other views. He argued that
the girl should be discharged at once:
that there was no case against her His
arguments won a compromise on one dav
in the county jail. The prisoner was ev-
identity confused, for after the verdict had
been announced the Judge asked if she
would be sentenced then or wait and she
replied: Il will come down tomorrow and
receive my sentence"
So the day of the arrest. the day of SEN
tence and the day of serving make three
days she will be in jail on one-day SEN
fence
