DISTRIBUTED MONEY OFF HAND
Strange Man in New York Gives Ont
$1,000 to the Needy.

A well dressed, distinguished look
ing man, who said he was Lewis
Strauss and was acting for the Worm
sers, bankers of New York, distributed
1000 recently to homeless hoboes
and boys in the streets of New York.
The money was in halves and quarters.
A policeman accompanied him down
Sixth avenue. The man went along
handing out coins to all who look ed
needy. News of the distribution
spread far and wide and soon a gang
of several hundred newsboys and
hoboes surrounded Strauss. He was
soon able to dispose of his supply OF
coins; then he thanked the policeman
for his courtesy, boarded car and
started down town. Isadore Wormser,
Jr., says he never heard of Strauss.

British Columbia Mines.

Before the Giant mine resumes op-
erations, as was outlined by Attorney
Wolf of London, it probably has sea
of litigation to cross.
Easily the event of last week In the
Rossland camp was the opening up on
the ninth level o. the LIE Roi mine OF
the big ore shoot, from which ore has
been stopped for the past couple OF
months on the 800 level.
The report that the Great Northern
has practically secured the necessary
rights of way for the extension from
Grand Forks to the CRANKY smelteI
and the mines at Phoenix, B. c., is con
firmed by G. A. Des Brisay, who is
right Of way agent of the road.
The annual meeting in London this
week of the lie Roi NO. company
will show pronts in hand from the
years operations of between 100000
and $150,000. These profits have been
earned despite tne limited tonnage OF
ore produced and the heavy expenses
incident to the construction of the Ell
more concentration, added to which
was freight and treatment rate or
ore higher than the company has beer
paying for the past few months.

Trade Report.

Bradstreet's report says weather
conditions have been unfavorable
throughout wide area, and while
in some instances helpful to retail
trade, extreme cold or heavy SHOWS
have rather sharply cut spring trade
and retarded transportation. There
is rather conservative feeling found
also in several lines of speculation and
of industry. An exception to this is
found in the south, which section,
stimulated by almost undreamed of
cotton prices, is preparing to plant an
enormous acreage.
Spring trade which was opening
actively in the southwest, has been
brought practically to standtsill for
the time being by the cold weather.
Wheat, including flour exports for
the week ending January 2S aggre-
gate 2,917,6 22 bushels.

REYES misunderstood.
Our Mantle Is Thrown Over More
Than Canal Striu.

udtI Scttdt 0kIIUs
Washington.-It is stated at the
state department that General Reyes
must have misunderstood the position
of the authorities here, if, as has been
reported from Bogota, he informed the
Colombian government that the Unit
ed States limited it's objection to the
landing of Colombian troops In Pana-
ma to the canal zone itself. The de-
partment has not in any sense changed
it's position since it was outlined In
the note of Secretary Hay on Novem-
Der IL, to Minister Bunau-V arilla,
when it was expressly stated that no
troops with hostile intentions could
be landed in Panama. Since that time
a treaty has been negotiated between
the United States and Panama by
which the former guarantees the in
tegrity Of the latter and that treaty
is now before the senate. In its pres
ent state. to use the words of Secre-
tary Hay, Panama has, therefore, ac-
quired IAN inchoate right" to the pro-
lection Of the United States. Colom-
bias attack would be regarded by the
government of the United States as an
unfriendly act.

NoekeIs Evades Liability.

Chicago. Edward Nockels, secreta,
ny OF the Chicago Federation of Labor,
was discharged 0y Judge Carey from
the charge of contempt of court. Sec.
rotary Nockels had refused to produce
the books of the federation before the
grand jury which is investigating al.
legged violence curing strikes. Judge
Carey at first urged him to reconsider
his determination to defy the grand
Jury and gave HIM several hours in
which to think the matter over. Sec
rotary Nockels finally entered a plea
OF fear OF discriminating himself and
the court held that this was legal.

FARCE IN MARYLAND SENATE.
Only One Member Present When the
Roll Is Called.


Annapolis. Saturdays session of
the Maryland senate was probably the
most unique in its history. The body
was called to order in the regular
manner by President Jones when the
hour for meeting arrived, he being the
only senator present The chaplain
was present and was made secretary.
After the roll had been called and the
announcement of a lack of quorum
was made, he was constituted a ser.
geant at arms and sent for the absent
senators. His report was that none
could be found. No business was
therefore attempted. About noon Del
egates Collins and Williams arrived
and escorted the senate, in the person
OF President Jones, to the house of
delegates chamber, there to ballot as
required by the statutes of the United
States for a United States senator.
The roll call thereupon developing the
fact that only six delegates were pres
ent. the speaker announced that. ow-
ing to the lack of a quorum, there
would be no ballot for the election of
a senator.

MRS. MAVERICK is RELEASED.
LIoyd's Newspaper Is Responsible fcl
Statement.

Lioyd's Newspaper - nespohspie Icr
Statement.
I,ondon.-Lloyd's weekly newspaper
saws that Mrs. Florence Mayhrick, the
American woman who was serving q
life sentence for having poisoned her
husband, was released from Aylesburys
female prison at GAS o'clock the morn
ing of January 25 on a special license.
Her mother, the paper says. had visit
ed her January "a, and evidently was
the bearer of important news. The
governor of the prison on Sunday con-
ferred with the prison officials and
they arranged for the depa, ture Of lie
prisoner, which was carried OH very
quietly. Mrs. Maybrick, accompanied
by one of the prison matrons, entered
closed carriage and drove to Ayles-
bury station, where she took a train
for London.
She drove from Euston station, and
from there went to private house not
far from the metropolis. She will re-
main there for short period in or
der to recuperate and to await the
completion of certain formalities
which will give her freedom of move
ment not allowed persons on ordinary
ticket of leave. Mrs. Maybrick, the
paper concludes, during the last few
months in prison, was employed on the
| highest work, as a reward for good
conduct.
Mrs. Maybrick's case is one of the
most celebrated in English criminal
history, not because of the crime, but
for the never ending pressure upon
the home secretary to secure a par
don for her. Appeals have been made
for nearly 20 years, some of them hav-
ing the influence of United States cab
met officers behind them, but hitherto
in vain. During the lifetime Of Queen
Victoria the case was hopeless, but
upon the accession of King Edward
it was predicted that Mrs. Maybrick
would be set free. She has stoutly
maintained ner innocence from first to
last, and claims she is a victim Of Cir
cumstantial evidence.
London, Feb. LIN spite of the mys-
terry with which the officials shroud the
action in connection with the reported
reelase of Mrs. Florence Maybrick,
who is serving a life sentence for
poisoning her husband, it can be def
nitely said that she has been removed
from Aylesbury prison. At the United
States embassy it was most emphati-
cally declared that she had not been
pardoned and that she was still a
prisoner. Where she has been taken
remains a mystery, but reports from
Aylesbury are to the effect that she
has been removed to some institution
in Cornwall,

With a human hand packed in a shoe

cal student at one OF the local col

Offices of several physicians in the
Northwest section OF the city, and Of
fered his gruesome stock for sale. The
doctors he visited had no use for a
hand that has been picked, and re-
fused the OffeT. One OF the ply sicians.
realizing that peddling parts OF human
bodies was against the law, and suspect
ing that the young man had purIoined
the hand, called up Captain Boaroman,
AT Police Headquarters, acteT the young
man had gone. and asked that the case
be investigated.
Detective Helau traced the young man
10 the Offices OF two physicians. Later
he sent out a general alarm 10 all the
stations I'm the city asking that the
pcddIer be apprehended ana arrested
About g clock The young man called
at the cfflce OF a weli-kuOWn physician

answered the bell. and informed the
caller that the physician was busy with

To convince her that he was sincere in
his statement he removed the cover
from the box. and Eeld Jhe part con-
tanning the hand under the hail gas

Another doctor informed the detective
that the young man had not been gone
