WANTS A CHANGE OF VENUE.
Mrs. SofYel Pleads to BE Tried Anywhere
but In the Courthouse Across the
Street from Her Old Home.

Butler, Pa, Feb. 5,-Realizing that
she has ruined her husband, Mrs. Sof-
fel, who assisted the two Biddle
brothers, condemned murderers, to
escape, does not wish to bring further
disgrace and humiliation upon him.
She now desires change of venue
when she faces justice. In tears and
with piteous pleading she made this
request to Assistant District Attor-
ney Robb, of Allegheny county, in the
hospital here yesterday. She said
she would go anywhere to have the
punishment meted out to her for
her disgraceful crime. She is willing
to meet any fate the law may place
upon her, but does not want the
punishment administered in the
courthouse across the street from her
old home. She pleaded that her act
was brought about through her SYM
pathy for the Tiddles and not her
passion.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Secrctary
Shaw, in letter TO Representative

posted in clearing house cities in
proportion to the relative capital of
each national bank therein, with no
other security than a prior lien upon

would have lost nothing, and II the
government had realized two per
cent. Upon the funds so deposited it
would have received $32,000,O00.

TIE ARKANSAS RIVER.


Washington, Feb. 5.-The brief OF
the state of Kansas in the proceed
ing of that state against the state of
Colorado, to restrain the latter In the
use Of water from the Arkansas river,
was filed in the United States SUI
preme court yesterday. The docu-
ment covers 1850 printed pages. 1t is
claimed that the diversion of the wa
tiers OF the Arkansas affects 100000
acres OF land in Kansas, worth $780,,
100000, and that much OF this land
is owned by the state itself. 1t is
set forth that it would be impracti-
cable for individual owners to insti-
tute proceedings and il is contended
that Colorado, not only as party in
interest, but as the party responsible
for the creation OF all ditch corpora
tions, is the proper respondent. 1t is
asserted that there is no desire to in
ure or harass the state Of Colorado
by the proceedings, but that the only
purpose of the suit is to protect the
interests of Kansas. On this point
the brief says in part: "rhe Arkan-
sas river is In its natural condition
generous stream, and in so far as its
waters can be used in Colorado for
irrigation purposes and then returned
to the bed of the river, and in so far
as the waters can be diminished in
seasons Of food and at other times
without injury to ourselves, their
taking will not be resisted by us.
We wish it understood that we do
not ask or expect the destruction Of
the irrigation bitches heretofore con-
structed and now used by persons
and corporations in Colorado. Doubt
less, some restrictions should be
placed upon the use of the waters,
but 1t is sought by this proceeding
merely to prevent the state of Colo
RADIO from using its vast power and
wealth in diverting these waters and
to stop it from granting authority
to others to do So"

DOOR TO ASIA,

President after president succeeds in
keeping before his mental eye the ex-
preston of the great George Washing
ton giving warning against "entangling
alliances with European nations, yet
succeeds also in securing substantial
advantages by means of tact, under
standings and moral influence, which
while not "entangling alliances have
a strong effect. Not a word has yet APP
peared to show that the government
has anything to do with this surprising
new Anglo-Japanese alliance. yet the
people of three nations will realize at
once tina America stands in on this
affair. 1t is in fact almost as much
ours as England's. 1t insures the
open door" in Asia for which several
successive administrations of both po-
iitical parties have been contending. 1t
gives Russia the check which she need.
ed, yet without involving friction be-
tween Russia and America. The an
nouncement of the alliance gives both
England and Japan new prestige, and
it will have not only political but com
mercial, military and naval effects
that will be of advantage to this cou
try, especially in the Pacific ocean and
In the Philippines, besides extending
ven to the -four and lumber trade and
the numerous other exports from here
to Asia. Moreover, it is likely to keeI
open another fine country to American
competition-Corea, which has all the

a PRINCE CASE.

Ex-Gov. l.. Bradford Prince has writ
ten an open letter to Gov. NJ. A. Otero
refusing to be removed from the posi-
ton of regent of the Agricultural col
lege. The case will probably go to the
courts. He will be refused a seat on
the board of regents, and if he desires
can test the matter legally by bringing
action in the courts.
Governor Otero was certainly justi-
fed in removing Regent Prince. While
the bitter contest was in progress in
Washington against Governor Otero
Mr.. Prince and wife, under the preteXt
of trying to secure a military post for
Santa Fe. had a sum of money collect
ed in that city to send them TO Wash
ington. II is said that a large porllon
of this sum was subscribed by friends
of Governor Otero. The Princes claim
ed to be neutral in the governorship
fight until they reached Washington,
when they took the lead in the cam
paign against Governor Otero. Being a
distant relative of Senator Morgan
Mr.. Prince secured his services.
In the whole matter the friends OF
Governor Otero claim ina Mr.. Prince
is guilty of treachery and duplicity
While pretending to be friendly to the
governor it is charged that for a year
he has lone everything he could tC
foment strife and bring discredit upoI
Governor Otero's administration. Last
April, Mr.. Prince had a friend write to
Vice President Roosevelt, urging him
to use his influence TO eur the gov
ernorship for him. He has not acted
