In view Of the recent decision OF the
California supreme court granting a
new trial to Albert Hoff, convicted OF
murder in San Francisco, the friends
OF Mrs. Cordelia Botkin, now serving
a life sentence for poisoning Mrs. John

for her another chance Of proving her
innocence. George A. knight, attor-
ney for Mrs. Botkin, is Of the opinion
that in her case n new trial must now
be granted. He said:
"Inasmuch as practically the same
charge was delivered to the jury, |
do not see how it will be possible to

THREE FIRES.

! Up to last Friday ii had been tritle
over seven months since there had
been a Ire in this city,which is rath-
er remarkable record, but there has
been three since that time. The first
was the residence of Mrs. Sharkey, an
invalid widow, In the third ward. II
took place about O'Clock Friday morn
ing and the building was a total loss;
household goods on the lower floor
nearly all saved. Loss on building
about 500; insurance S400, which has
already been adjusted at the full
amount; $500 insurance on contents
which will cover loss.
Along about noon a second alarm
brought the department out again, but
it proved to be only a box car partially
loaded with potatoes and was quickly
extinguished without much damage.
Tuesday afternoon a passerby stop
ped at &. M. Kingley's ON South Pearl
ST., and remarked that the roof of the
house didn't look just right. A hasty
examination showed ii TO be on fire
and an alarm was turned in. The de-
partment was little slow in reaching
it because the number Of the box did
not register at the hose house, but
soon had it out after their arrival.
The fire did not extend beyond the
roof and upper part, the water doing
probably as much damage as the fire.
The household goods were removed.
The house is owned by the Building
ana Loan Association and is insured.
Mr.. Kingsley had $500 on the contents.
Both this and the Mrs. Sharkey fire
are supposed to have originated from
defective chin news.

The ruling is that an action for infringe
ment cannot he maintained under Section

ing, cut or print, for the unauthorized

it was not necessary to take out Il Sepa-
rate copyright for the cut. as such, in or
der to bring an action under Section 1850.

PRICE OF ARMOR PLAIE.
Wheeler Of Kentucky Says S545 Per Ton Will
Be Bitterly Oppo.cd.

Washington. March Representative
Wheeler of Kentucky. a member of the
House naval affairs committee, says that
the decision of the committee, yesterday.
fixing the price of armor plate at $5i5 per
ton, was much more far-rcachinS than
was announced al that time.
yesterday, statement was authorized
to the effect that his price WIS only fixed
for what is known the emergency
armor for the battleshipS Maine, Ohio
and Missouri, which are now building.
On account of the threatening suits for
damages resulting from the failure of the
government to provide the armor for
these vessels because the armor plate
concerns refused to furnish il at the
thorized price the committee was unani-
mously in favor of acceding to the de-
mands of the armor plate factories. so
far as the armor for those ships was
concerned.
Put the action of the committee. yes
terday, according to Mr.. Wheeler. went
further and authorized contracts for the
armor for all the ships heretofore author
lied and to be authorized in the present
bill at S5i5. This action was taken. he
said. after a specific proposition to limit
armor plate at that price to the "emer-
gcncy armor" had been voted down.
Mr.. Wheeler says that all the members
of the minority voted against the propo-
siton to authorize armor al that price
for other ships authorized and to be au-
thoriZed. He announces that the fight
will be carried onto the floor of the
House.

HOPE NOT ABANDONED.
Uncle Sam Still Confident Of Acquiring Dan.
ish Island Of 81. Thomas.

Washington. March 16.-It is learned
that the purpose of the government to
acquire the island of st. Thomas for Il
reasonable consideration from Denmark
has not been abandoned, notwithstanding
the statements attributed to the Danish
ministers indicating a decision not to part
with the island. While it is not contcm-
plated that any pressure should be
brought to bear upon Denmark in this
matter it is still believed that the late
announcement in the case is perhaps only
an evidence of a purpose on the part 81
the Danish authorities to secure higher
price for the island than the United
states had regarded as proper.
1t is probable that no active effort VIII
be made by our government to hasten the
negotiations on this subject but, having
learned that the finances Of the island
showed a deficit, last year. of Sl5,0oo, in
spite of the most rigid economy in the
administration. a sum charged up against
the home government, il is believed that
our terms will ultimately be accepted II
