ROSES, KISSES
AND CIGARETTES
GIVEN BY LE0NA BROOKS TO
SMITH
WOMAN CALLS ON PRISONER
Declares That the Time She Spent
With San Franclsco's Abscond-
Ina Tax Collector Shortest
Five Minutes Of Her Life
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, May 4.--Leona Brooks, or
Blanche Smythe the latter she claims
being her correct name, the woman on
whom Edward j. Smith, the alleged
defaulting tax collector of San Fran
cisco says he spent much money, visit
ed the prisoner at the Four Courts be-
fore departing for the coast tonight.
A warrant charging Smith with being
a fugitive from justice was issued to-
day and full report of his statements
was sent to the San Francisco police.
Miss Smythe took him a bunch of
roses and some cigarettes. Detective
the FIVE minutes of conversation and
the prisoner and the woman had no
chance for private talk.
When they parted she gave Smith
several kisses and to Assistant Chief
Kiley, who had granted her permission
to see the prisoner for five minutes,
she said:
ut was the shortest five minutes 1
ever spent"
Smith told the girl he had spent a
more comfortable night and day than
at any time since he had been fu-
gitive from Justice. He is still i'm
patient to return to San Francisco and
it is expected that the officer who is
coming after him will not delay on the
return trip long after he reaches here
on Sunday morning.
Smith is plentifully supplied with
cigarettes and every newspaper print
ed in the city is sent in to him, as well
as those from San Francisco. He
reads every line about his case.
Smith still contends that he did not
take the $4,000 that was paid to him
on the day before his departure from
San Francisco. He was asked If he
did not take the money to New York
and lose it there in speculation, hop
ing to recoup all his losses in one
lucky strfSe. This Smith denied, de-
claring that he had applied the money
obtained the day before leaving to
other accounts.

SAVED FROM AWFUL FATE
BY HIS FELLOW WORKER
Santa Barbara Man Barely Escapes
Being Roasted Alive When
Cleaning Bath House Boiler

Special to The Herald
SANTA BARBARA, May Awhile
S. A. Savage was engaged in cleaning
the inside of the hot water boiler in
connection with the Plaza del Mar
bath house yesterday evening some one
turned the steam on and the man, inn
prisoned as he was, would soon have
roasted alive had it not been for the
courage of one of the workmen. He
remembered that Savage had been in
the boiler and saw that the steam was
on. Instantly opening the door he
called for his companion and upon
receiving no reply went inside and
pulled the unfortunate man out of the
blistering steam. Savages injuries are
not regarded as dangerous.

MAY RELEASE
NAN PATTERSON
VOTE OF JURY TO DECIDE
HER FATE
JEROME WILL INVESTIGATE
If a Majority Were In Favor of the
Girls AcquittaI the District At
torney May Consent to
Girls Release
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 4.-No positive
steps were taken today toward having
Nan Patterson, released on bail, 1T being
agreed by her counsel and her father
that, even though bail was possible at
once, 1t would be better for the girl to
remain quietly in the Tombs for rest
after the ordeal she underwent last
night.
During the day alarming reports
were circulated as to Miss Patterson's
condition, but it was stated at the
Tombs tonight that Miss Patterson's
condition is. practically normal. She
shows the effects of her trial but is far
from a real breakdown. She spent a
large part of the day sleeping in her
cell, being thoroughly exhausted from
her long vigil and the nervous strain
Of last night.
Miss Pattersons lawyers tomorrow
will endeavor to reach an agreement
with the district attorneys office as
to the amount of bail their client shall
he required to give. They hope the
sum will be a nominal one, but say
they are ready to furnish bondsman
for any amount within reason.
District Attorney Jerome who has
been in Albany since yesterday said
today that the vote of the jury in the
case of Nan Patterson would determine
to large degree his decision whether
to put her on trial again for the muir
der of Caesar Young. If the jury was
preponderantly against her he might
try her again; If the majority was in
her favor he might consent to her re-
lease.

sWEARs IN MANY DEPUTIES
Mayor Dunno Makes investigation and
Declares That Police Can Hsn-

Peace Agreement
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 4.-Sheriff Thomas
E. Barrett of Cook county will take
active control of the strike situation
tomorrow morning. So much pressure
has been brought to bear upon him
and upon Mayor Dunno by men who
believe their interests to be seriously
imperilled by the constant rioting in
the streets that the sheriff has been
compelled to swear in a large force OF
deputies and take steps to do away
with the present disorder. Two hum
dred deputies were sworn in this after
noon at the office of Sheriff Barrett,
and it is believed 1000 will have been
enrolled by tomorrow evening.
A committee of prominent business
men, headed by John Shedd of Marshall
Field e. Co., today took steps to lay
the situation before the governor and
declare that conditions are such that
the militia is imperatively needed. The
Chicago Clearing House association
this afternoon adopted sweeping reso-
lutions declaring that the riots in the
streets were constantly increasing in
fury and had gone beyond the power
of the civil authorities Of the city and
county to control. 1t was therefore the
opinion of the members of the clearing
house that troops should be called
out.
The sheriff is determined to take the
situation in hand himself, declaring
that until he has done so he will not
be justified in calling for the militia.
Mayor Dunno investigates
Mayor Dunno for three hours this
afternoon rode through the downtown
streets in a buggy and on his return to
the city hall declared that he had seen
no violence and believed the police to
be able to cope with the situation.
Chief Deputy Sheriff Peters made
close scrutiny Of all candidates for the
position of deputy sheriff. Every man
was required to produce some person
who could vouch for his relia bility. He
announced that he would take neither
union men nor representatives of the
employers If he knew it. Two union
men who had made application were
detected before they were sworn in and
were told they could not serve. One
of them was Steven Sumner, head of
the Milk Drivers union, who is now
Under Indictment for conspiracy in
connection with the strike.
The teamsters made an attempt this
afternoon to call out the employees of
the Chicago Traction company. This
corporation operates all the street car
lines on the north and west sides of
the city and is in the charge of re-
ceivers appointed by the United States
courts.
