WILL NOT DENY RUMOR
NAN PATTERSON RETICENT Re-
aARDING CONTRACT.

Neither Mr.. j. r. Patterson. Mrs. Patter-
son, nor the former show girl herself would
deny this afternoon that the latter went
to Philadelphia yesterday and signed a
contract with vaudeville managers. When
asked directly whether or not this was
the case the reply from all three was that
they had nothing to say in regard to the
matter.
1.-THE papers can say what they please
about it, said Mrs. Patterson. "They al
ways have said what they pleased. Nan
and the rest of US do not wish to discuss
the matter"
When 1t was mentioned to Mr.. Patterson
that the public wanted to hear from the
family the details of the business trans
action In Philadelphia yesterday he said:
i hope you will appreciate my position. I
would like to give you any Information you
desire, but 1t is altogether in my daugh-
ter's hands. and. as you see, she VIII not
speak about it,
Miss Patterson would be brought to trial a
fourth time. in spite of the rumors to that
effect in New York today. He was sure
that District Attorney Jerome would not
take up the case again.
Miss Man" Patterson was at home to-
day, but she remained in her room most
of the time.
The fondness for newspaper reporters
which she has shown recently, and which
he's been reflected somewhat by the other
members of the family. seems to have de-
parted entirely. She conducts herself more
like a statesman with a great secret to
guard than simple show girl, who has or
has not signed a contract to appear on a
vaudeville stage.
None of Miss Pattersons sisters who
have been so much in evidence during the
past week or more, put in an appearance

BIG cUNARDER GROUNDED.

Waiting for Flood Tide.

Waiting for Elooo 11ue.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 17.-After an all-night
struggle to free herself from the mud. in
which she stuck fast Off Sandy Hook. the
big Cunarder Caronia. that cleared from
New York at O. clock yesterday afternoon.
is still stuck hard and fast. with no hope of
being foated before flood tide tonight.
The Caronia, which Is the second largest
steamship in the world. and not yet year
old. was run ashore In the heavy fog yes
terday. and made her plight known by
wireless to the station at Babylon, L. l..
whence dispatches for tugs were sent to
New York. All the messages from the ship
have stated that she is in no danger while
the present light seas are running.
The Caronia grounded on the north side
of Bayside channel near Flynn's knoll, a
point where many great liners have settled
down for walt while passengers, insurance
underwriters, not to mention pilots and
captains, have kept up hopes and bided
their time. Owing to the nature OF the bot
tom. which Is mud and sand there have
been no serious accidents to the ocean grey
hounds held In leash on the shoals, but the
fear is always entertained that a heavy,
smashing sea might rise and pound the
iron plates to bits while the ship was held
fast. In the present case the dispatches
from the Caronia are that she Is resting
easily and Is in no danger from the light
shoals swells.

eliminated at all times.

lily of the deceased person should not have
to be put to the great expense of providing
carriages for friends. but that the latter
should leave it 80 that only the nearest
relatives of deceased persons would have
to attend funerals in hacks. thus cutting
down many unnecessary expenses of the
present age at burials.
