State Department Hesitates About
Stopping Perot Proceedings.

The State Department was yesterday re-
quested by Governor Lowndes, of Maryland,
to abandon extradition proceedings in the
case of Mrs. Perot under arrest for kid
naping her young child Gladys from its
grandfather in Baltimore. No action will
be taken, however by the State Department
until the case has been further investigated
and a decision reached as to whether the
department should abandon extradition pro-
ceedings after requesting of the British
Government the surrender of Mrs Perot.
Governor Lowndes states that the indict-
ment against her presented before the
Maryland courts will be annulled, and that
il is the desire Of Mr.. Perot, the child's S
grandfather that no criminal prosecution of
the mother shall be entered upon A cable
gram has been prepared for transmission tc
Ambassador Choate, informing him OF the
governors request and notifying him that
as the Indictment would be quashed il was
not necessary to insist on the extradition
of Mrs Perot.
Later the department authorities decided
that as Governor Lowndes' request SEEM
ed to be unusual, in view of the fact the
department had proceeded so far as TO insist
on the extradition of the mother it would
be well 10 postpone final decision until more
careful consideration could be given the
case.

horses across the Pacific, and they will
be placed in charge of cavalrymen who
thoroughly understand the care Of horses.

horses to be shipped as soon as possible

made to Quartermaster Pond was but l50.
He explained to the War Department that
1000 horses could he secured here as
readily as $50, and othat the expense OF
getting them. would be no greater. In all
parts of the country the buyers have mad
difficulty in getting the animals, owing to
the fact that the demand came at the
time when the farmers were busy in their
grain. Major Pond has depended entirely
upon the horses that have come into the
market in the regular course of business
and he has had difficulty in getting the
requisite number. ii ~
The Government has asked for horses
that do not ordinarily come into the East
ern market at this time. OF the year. OWING
to the fact that they are under sized. A
horse that weighs much over l,000 pounds
would not be of use in the Philippines on
account of the character of the country.
preference has been shown for small
horses, and one that weighed $50 pounds
would be able to pass the physical exam
ination.
The horses are to be used In mounting
the regular cayalrymen that were dis
mounted at the time they were sent TO the
Philippines and it is possible that one or
more infantry regiments will be mounted
that they may keep pace with Aguinaido S
band A small horse will be much better
in getting across the country and for this
reason the War Department has ordered
the enlistment of the little fellows for
