SHE BECOMES A PAUPER

Deporting q woman for the sake of
charity is a new procedure in the work
of the United States Immigrant Bu-
reau, but was done yesterday in the
case of Sonora Christina Quintinilla de
Barnethe. Mexican fifty years old.
She had good home in Mazatlan. but
gave it up to assist her old mother
and her aunt. Sonora de Barnethes $
husband died fifteen years ago and left
her nice little home in Mexico. A
year ago last February her mother
wrote to her from this city that she
and her sister were sick and in dire
distress and without food or proper
clothing. Out of pure goodness of heart
the woman sold her home in Ma
zatlan and hurried here to the relief of
her relatives. The three lived in one
room at 1918 Dupont street, and Chris
tina supported them and herself by
needlework. Soon all the money was
gone and the three were in sore straits.
Finally they were obliged to appeal to
charity and tell their SAD story to the
public.
The Spanish Benevolent Society has
offered TO take charge CT the two older
women. and Sonora de Barnethe is
willing to go back to Mazatlan, where
she has a sister who is able and will
ing to take care of her. But she has no
money to pay for her transportation,
and in this emergency United States
Immigrant Commissioner Hart H
North was asked to order her deported
to Mazatlan on the ground that she
has become a public charge. The own
ers of the steamship Curacao have ex-
pressed a willingness to take her back
to Mexico, and she will start for home
on the next trip of the Curacao.

FAIR SWINDLER
SHOWS EMOTION
Mrs. Dorothy, 4IcCabe Booked
on Charges of Obtaining
Money by False Pretense5
EYES FILL WITH TEARS
Her Attorney Fails So Far
in Getting Into C0mmuni-
cation With Her Husband
EYES FILL WITH TEARS

Mrs. Dorothy McCabe showed the
first signs of emotion yesterday since
her incarceration on Thursday. She
bore the ordeal without f1inching of
having her photograph taken for the
rogues' gallery, but when she was
booked at the City Prison later. On two
charges of obtaining money by false
pretenses she began to realize the
gravity of her position and tears welled
into her eyes.
Promises had been made that the
worthless checks passed by the fair
defendant would be taken up, but as
there was no appearance of the coin
yesterday morning r. j. Campbell of
the Emporium and e. G. Davis of
Weinstock, Lubin & Co., called at the
Bond and Warrant Clerks Office and
each swore to complaint before Po-
lice Judge Mogan charging Mrs. Nc
Cabe with misdemeancr of obtaining
money by false pretenses.
AT the Emporium she presented a
check for $50 and asked to have it
cashed, as she desired to make few
purchases. The cashier remarked that
it was unusual to do so and besides he
did not know her. Why, she replied
Mr.. Martin, the manager, has often
NcSACO SHCChS lOI lilC. uli sui pIicCO.
The cashier did not like to offend a
lady friend of the manager and hand
ed her the $50. When he spoke TO the
manager about it the manager said he
Lad never heard of the woman. At
Weinstock, Lubin & Co.'S she purchased
goods and got the difference between
the amount and the $50 check in cash.
The firm of r. d. Davis & Co. has not
yet taken action. but Detectives Dinan
and Wren say that a warrant will be
sworn to by member of the firm to-
morrow morning. 1t will be felony,
as the amount is SIS.
When Mrs. McCabe was booked on
the two charges she said her name
was Mrs. Percy j. McCabe. When
asked her Christian name she replied,
Dorothy" She gave her age as 20 and
her birthplace as Baltimore, Md. She
said she was a married woman. She
left the booking desk with her hand
kerchief pressed against her eyes.
Attorney Farrar, who is looking after
| her interests, called to see her several
times at the prison yesterday. He said
he had been trying to get into COM
munication with her husband, who is
a mining man in Southern California,
but had so far failed AS soon as he
| did so he felt sure the necessary funds
would be forthcoming to take up all
the checks. He said that all her credi-
tors had promised to give her time ex-
cept the Emporium and Weinstock Lu-
bin & Co.
