Miller, S. D., Feb. 1.-The hearing
Of Hattie Pitcher. ended last Friday in
her discharge from custody, on the
charge Of completely in drugging Will

Collins drug store O January II. The
Justice held there was no evidence con-
Meeting her with this crime.
Charles Henshaw. proprietor Of the
hotel where Miss Pitcher boarded,
sWore yesterday afternoon that the
young lady was not in her room at his
house that night at l o'clock, though
she all along claims that she had been
drugged and left in her room till next
morning unconscious.
Ex-Judge Pussy, her attorney, made
g most pathetic plea for the fair pris-
oner, saying he was helping without
hope of fee, because she was an orphan
and penniless. Many Of Miss Pitchers
old friends stood by her to the last. A
number OF witnesses testified to her
good character. States Attorney J.. II.
Cole made a determined showing dur
ing the three days hearing. He was
ably assisted by Judge Briggs, but
about the same mystery surrounds the
shooting and the holdup as before. The
efforts to ferret out the perpetrators Of
the two crimes will be pushed until
something is known of them.
Miss Pitcher was not put on the witness
stand. A number of witnesses testified to
her good character up to the time Of her
arrest. Judge Pussy made a long, SYM
pathetic plea for her, and man, of her
old pioneer friends stood by her to the
last, believing In her innocence. Her at
torney declared he was fighting for her,
for friendship of the Pitcher family gen.
orally. without fear or reward, as the
girl is penniless and an orphan.
The girl has the sympathy Of all, ever
those who may believe her guilty, in that
she has been more sinned against than
shining.
The business men and others will try
to have the mystery ferreted out If pos

GEN. REYES MISTAKE.
United States Didn't Say Colombia

u. Canal 2nna Ia banana -.
Canal Zone in Par

Washington, Feb. 2.-It is stated at
the state department that General
Reyes must have misunderstood the
position Of the authorities here If he,
as reported from Bogota, informed the
Colombian government that the United
States limited its objection to the land
ing of Colombian troops in Panama,
to the canal zone itself.
The department has not IN any sense
changed it's position since it was out
lined in the note of Secretary Hay, No
vember II, to Minister Sunau Varilla,
when 1t was expressly stated that no
troops with hostile intent could be
landed in Panama. Since that date a
treaty has been negotiated between the
United States and Panama by which
the former guarantees the integrity of
the latter, and that treaty is now be-
fore the senate. A Colombian attack
would be regarded by this government
as an u%nfriendly act.
The democratic senator's We're In con-
ference for three hours today on the
Bacon resolution i%nstructing the presi-
dent to effect an adjustment Of the
claims of Colombia against the United
States on account of the Panama re-
volt. No decision was reached and ans
other meeting will be held next week.

One Had Courage to Say tho
~. Sneaker Nay.

Washington, Feb. 1.-Speaker Can
non yesterday disregarded the rule of
the house which gives him the most
trouble to enforce, the rule which pro
hibits smoking upon the floor of the
house.
Yesterday he was interested in q po-
litical speech made by Representative
Boutell of Chicago, and went down on
the floor and occupied a chair at the
real OF the house, near the cloak room,
In which smoking is permitted. Every
once In a while the speaker would
leave his place, go into the cloak room
for a moment or two and then reappear
upon the floor. He did this several
times, but finally concluded he was be-
ing put to too much trouble in order to
finish his cigar. He then came out
upon the floor, rested his arms upon
the brass railing at the rear Of the
house, and smoked on. apparently un-
conscious of the fact that he was vio-
lating a rule of the house.
It Is the duty Of the presiding Of
fcer to remind q member Of the house
when the rule against SMOKING Is be-
Ing violated. but the chairman OF the
committee OF the whole did not con-
slider 1t his duty to call down the
speaker.

Adopt a New Name,

New York, Feb. 2.-The New York
Commercial Advertiser this
afternoon that beginning February L,
it will be sold for l cent instead Of 3
cents, and that the name will be
changed to the Globe and Commercial
Advertiser. The name Commercial Ad-
vertisor has been used 107 years. The
publishers announce tina the name is
reluctantly subordinated because in
these days of trade journalism it is
misleading to persons unfamiliar with
the scope OF the paper. The short al
tentative title is also intended to ac-
commodate the newsboys who object to
using two long, cumbersome words.
This editorial statement is made:
THE majority of people are inclined
to buy the lowest priced newspapers, a
fact of which the sensational press. es-
pecially in the evening field, has been
quicker to take advantage than that
part Of the press which adheres to the
old standards of accuracy and intelli-
gence. The Commercial Advertiser pur-
poses now to make accessible to every
n a thoroughly comprehensive news
paper, which enterprising and fearless,
Is a the same time truthful, enlightened
and invariably i~nteresting.,
