Nan Patterson I.eIeased.

New York, May l2.--Nsn Patterson,
the Floradora girl, who was three times
on trial for the murder of Caesar
Young, the bookmaker, in this city on
June 4, last, was released from the
Tombs this morning, and allowed to 20
free on her own recognizance, on motion
of District Attorney Jerome, before Re-
corder Goff. This means that she will
probably never be broughtto trial again.
Nan was taken before the recorder
shortly after ii O'Clock this morning,
when Mr.. Jerome made the motion on
which she was set free. She was accom-
panied by her counsel, Ale Levy and
Daniel 0'Reilly, by whom she was de-
tended during her two trials, and her
father, John B. Patterson, who has
stood by his daughter ever since her first
trial began. As soon as she heard the
words which set her free. Nan started at
once for Mr.. Levy's office. Tomorrow
she will start for Washington to see her
mother.
A great crowd had gathered at the en-
trance of the court build ng, and the
police were forced to make pathway
for the defendant. When Miss Patter-
son appeared there was wild hurrah
aud shouts. Thrs e cheers we're given as
the carriage ratified away.
Miss Patterson will spend today pack
Ing up her effects at the It. Paul Hotel
and, If her plans are not changed, she
will leave for Washington tomorrow.
10 the cell which the Floradora girl has
left, the sister, Mrs. J. Morgan Smith,
remains.
Mrs. Julia Smith and her husband,
J. Morgan Smith, were arraigned an
hour later before Judge Foster, where
District Attorney Jerome asked the
court to enter the formal order for the
dismissal of the indictment for con-
spiracy against the couple. Judge Eos
ter ordered the discharge of both defen-
dants and the immediate rearrest OF
Smith on charge of contempt of court
issued by Judge Newburger June 3,
1904.
Miss Patterson finally decided thst
she would leave for Washington at 1910
tonight. She will spend the day and
evening at the 81. Paul Hotel. Two
large bouquets were sent to Miss Pat
terson's room soon after her arrival at
the st. Paul Hotel.

The EXTENT of the adulteratiOn of
liquors sold in Pennsylvania is shown in
the May bulletin, which has just been
issued by Dairy and Food Commissioner
DR.. B. II. Warren. The report shows
that, under Commissioner Warren's
direction, fines have been paid by de-
PENDANTS before magistrates or in the
courts in the different counties in 1893
cases for the sale chiefly of adultersted
blackberry brandy, blackberry wine and
blackberry cordial. The average fine
and costs in each case was about $57. so,
which has been deposited in the State
Treasury. Six hundred samples of the
blackberry brandy and wines examined
by Chemist Cochran, when Commission
er Warren first began his Investigations
of alcoholic beverages, showed over 80
pei cent. to be adulterated.

That President ROOSEVELT pos
sesses a practical vein was never more
plainly shown than in his interview
with the Chicago labor committee We'd
nesday. TIE delegation had obtained
an audience with the President for the
purpose of protesting against the intro
duction of federal troops into Chicago to
restore the peace. Mr. Roosevelt took
the matter by the handle and without any
unnecessary yerbiage said all men should
obey the law, and that Mayor DUNES
attempts to preserve the peace had his
hearty support. Pm union man,
but unions must respect the law" were
Mr. Roosevelt's significant words. The
committee, it is said, left the President
in no way satisfied with the interview,
realizing, however, the full force OF what
he said.

Fleeing from the IstLmus.

New York, May 12.-The steamer
Alliance is due here in few days from
Panama, crowded with refugees from the
Islhmus, from whence they have fled in
panic, becaused of fear of yellow fever
The refugees are mostly employees of the
Isthmian commission. On board the
Alliance is General Davis, who was so
seriously i'll when he left Panama that
he is hardly expected to survive the
voyage. The dead body OF Auditor West,
who died at yellow fever,is also on board,
The flight from the lsthmus has par
taken of the nature Of a panic. Discon-
tented with the management OF affairs,
by the United States government and
the acknowledgement of the old canal
commission scores of employees are
throwing up their positions with the
commission, and without even waiting
to he paid, are leaving the country.
Over half a hundred government en-
ployes arrived here yesterday on the
Panama steamer Seguranca, as the adj
vance guard of refugees. They told
stories OF gross Encouragement and COM
planned bitterly that conditions under
which they were to work on the Isthmus,
had been misrepresented to them. ln-
stead of sanitary quarters, they were
either forced to live in squalor and filth
or sleep in tents on the grass.

Another Outbreak.

Jitomir, Russia, May l2-Another out
break occurred today. One official and
forty citizens are reported killed. The
Governor has warned the mob that if the
disorders occur again the troops will fire
at the slightest provocation. 1.-THE threat
is carried out more bloodshed is probable
as the conditions are such that distur-
bance is likely to occur at any time.
London, May PA dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph Company from St.
Petersburg, says that more massacres
took place yesterday in the province of
Volhynia of which Jitomir, where the
anti.semitic outbreaks occurred earlier in
the week, is the capital. The casualties
are reported at eleven killed and many
injured.
st. Petersburg, May THE Official
Messenger states that the cause of the
outbreak at Kitomir, where the Jews
were attacked by orthodox Christians
was due to The fact that 800 Jews met in
forest outside the city and engaged in
revolver practice, using a portrait of the
Car as target. This greatly enraged
a number of peasants who learned of the
occurrence. The Jews insulted the po-
lice and the government. thus provoking
the disturbances which followed. The
Minister of the Interior has instructed
the authorities to make an appeal to the
more intelligent and reasonable Jews to
use their influence with their co-religion-
lists to avoid giving any ofense to Chris
tians in the interests of personal safety.

FRIDAY EVENING. MAY u, 1906.

Tup TERRIBLE disaster near Harris
hurg Pa. at an early hour yesterday
Morning has opened the eyes OF many
neople including some representative
men to The Importance Of properly
guarding explosives in trsnsitu. A lew
days ago a box car loaded with such was
not;ced On side track at one OF the
Alexandria depois. A card was tacked
upon its side bearing the following
words. Explosives. Handle with care.
The car had been placed almost to the
sidewalk. In shifting freight cars this
DANGEROUS receptacle could have been
unnecessarily rammed and the contents
exploded. when disa 'ter similar to that
on the Pennsylvania Railroad would
have mortified Alexandria. Local ordl-
nances provide for the storing OF powder
beyond the city limits. and cars contain
ING dangerous freight should be kept al
. safe distance from houses. River
steamers often transport explosives and
terrible disasters are possible where
nroper care is not taken. During the
civil war, It will be remembered, a ter
rible explosion occurred at City Point,
several barges containing ammunition
having exploded at the wharves' The
cause of the disaster was never dehultely
ascertained. Legislation looking to the
minimizing of such dangers should be
inaugurate1 at once. t

England and India.

In the House of Commons yesterday,
Premier Balfour, in remarkable speech
with reference TO the work of the COM
mittee on national defense, discussed the
precautions that had been taken for the
defense of the coasts and Indian frontier
and the possibilities on case of invasion,
with an openness seldom surpassed.
An invasion of Indian, he said, had
long been the dream of military leaders.
The progress of Russia toward the Afghan
frontier and the construction of strategic
railways had compelled the government
to consider in all seriousness what could
be done by its great military neighbors
in the East. No surprise or rush, how
ever, was possible. In an invasion of
India any collision of great magnitude
between two powers must depend upon
rapidly of railway construction. Here
Russia would be faced with almost in
superable difficulties. If Great Britain
permitted the slow absorption of Afghan
istan and allowed Russia's strategic rail
ways to creep closer and closer to the
frontier, Great Britain would not only
inevitably have to pay for its supineness
by having to keep aioOt an army far
larger than could be contemplated with
equanimity but would sooner or later be
faced with some of the greatest military
problems which had ever confronted the
British government. Foresight and cOur-
age were the great needs.
