out speaking to him was the story re-
cited by fair young woman in Judge

employe Of the Scovell iron works of
Los Angeles. Junguist at that time
lived at 1446 East Twenty-second street.
directly opposite the home of his
fiancee.
The petite little blonde girl, scarcely
more than a child, hung her head in
embarrassment as she took the wit
ness stand in Judge Trasks court and
told her trouble.

she said, land I have never lived with
my husband and he deserted me
shortly after the ceremony. I do not
know why he did it. We had had No
quarrel at that time.

OF the wedding ceremony and went
back to his home and since that time

day I have seen him go to work in
the morning and return in the evening,
but have never received a word from
him.
Il at last decided that 1 did not
care to live under the existing circum-
stances and applied for a divorce"

Heart Failure Causes Death of Former
Governor Lowndes, Of
Maryland.

Cum berland, Md, Jan. 9.-The sud-
den death at his home in. this city Sum-
day Of former Gov. Lloyd Lowndes
cast a pail of gloom over the commu-
nifty. There had been no indications
of illness, and Mr.. Lowndes appeared
to be in his usual good health and
spirits when he arose in the morning.
He arose at $3.50, took bath and began
to dress preparatory to attending church
services. A sudden fall attracted the
attention of Mrs. Lowndes, who was in
the room. She summoned assistance,
and the unconscious form was placed
upon the bed. Physicians were hastily
summoned and were quickly at the
bedside, but death had ensued before
their arrival. Death was due to heart
failure.

Judge Refuses to Release Nan Pat

other Trial.

New York, Jan. 7.-Justice Green
baum, of the New York state supreme
court. Friday denied the application OF
Nan Patterson for bail pending new
trial on the charge of the murder of
Caesar Young. In denying the appli-
cation Justice Greenbaum said that as
it appears that the district attorney in
tends to proceed with second trial OF
the prisoner he did not feel that he
would be justified in ordering her re-
lease on bail. Miss Patterson became
hystercal when Abraham Levy, her
counsel, went to the Tombs and informed
her of Justice Greenbaum's decision.
She wept and waved her arms .franti-
cally, refusing to be comforted. Later
when her father visited her an affecting
scene took place. The young woman
tried to restrain her emotion, but finally
threw her arms about her fathers neck
and burst into tears again. He, too, was
overcome and suddenly collapsed, and
it was necessary to send him home in a

Topics of Discussion.

Chicago, Jan. 9.-The Chronicles

Roosevelt Saturday afternoon submit
ted to a joint committee, composed OF
leading republican senator's and repre-
sentatives what amounted to an ulu-
matum on the subjects OF tariff revision
and railway legislation. He announced
his purpose to call special session OF
the Fifty-ninth congress in the early
fall OF the present year to revise the
Dingley schedules. He indicated that
he would prefer that congress EhaH
dispose of interstate commerce legisla-
ton at the present session, but if for
any reason it fails to do so, he will ask
the Fifty-ninth congress to consider it
in special session. Other important
subjects of legislation were discussed,
including the naval appropriation bill,
which is so close to the presidents
heart. The president expressed COM
plete sympathy with those members of
congress who are seeking to introduce
economy in the great supply bills of the
government, but he insisted that there
should be no cut in the naval appropria-
ton bill; that the departments pro-
gramme of construction ought to be rati-
fed and that the total of the bill ought
to be about $115.000,O00. Rivers and
harbors and public building legislation
were also discussed.
Congress was represented at the con-
ference by Senators Allison, of Iowa, AL
drich, of Rhode Island; Spooner, Of
Wisconsin, and Platt, of Connecticut;
Speaker Cannon. Representatives Sc
reno E. Payne, of New York; John Dali
zell, of Pennsylvania; Gen. Grosvenor,
of Ohio, and James A. Tawney, of Min
nesota. Owing to an agreement entered
into by the president and conferees no
information concerning what happened
during the conference is obtainable with
the exception of perfunctory state
ment issued by Secretary Loeb, in which
he says that tariff, aSilway rates and
other subjects were discussed. that no
agreement was reached and that the
conference will be resumed at some
date in the future which remains to be
fixed.
