loving foster-mother a 13-months-old
baby boy given to her by it's real
mother. under an agreement made be-
fore its birth, but whom the real mother
wanted back. The baby had grown to
love its foster-mother after more than
q year Of tender care.
Mrs. Celia Kipp, IS years old, is the
real mother Of the child, which is named
Ralph. The foster-mother is Mrs. Fannie
Vollman, 80 years old. Shortly before
the baby was born, Mrs. Kipp went to
Bellevue hospital. Mrs. Vollman was
there, too, in. an adjoining bed. Mrs.
Vollman, having no children Of her
own, craved for baby, while Mrs.
Kipp was then in such circumstances
that she feared that she could not prop
erly care for her expected child. The
result was that Mrs. Kipp promised,
before the child was born, to give it to
Mrs. Vollman to keep. @. - -.

tised as Catholic: ~. : 80

CHINESE WOMEN: CAN
APPEAL TO COURTS
Order Granting Delay in Montana
Deportation Case Gives "
..., General Satisfaction.

Special to The Journal. -@
Bozeman, Mont, March 31.-The
prayers that were offered in the various
churches that the sentence Of deporta-
tion passed against Mrs. Tom Sing, the
pretty little Chinese woman confined
in jail here awaiting removal to the
celestial empire, have been answered,
in part at least. Word has been re.
ceived here that Mrs. Sing has been
granted time to perfect an appeal to
the circuit court Of appeals at San
Francisco, and that pending this action,
she will be released from jail where she
has been confined in cell Just across
the corridor from Lu Sing, the murderer
Of her husband: 7s:<2>
The woman's case has attracted much
sympathy from the citizens of Bozeman,
Prayers have been offered in eight of
the churches that the sentence against
the woman might be revoked; a petition
asking President Roosevelt to take
action in the case was numerously
signed and sum was subscribed suf-
ticient to pay the expenses Of dele
gate to present the appeal to the presi.
dent in person. This action, however,
has been rendered unnecessary by the
granting of leave to appeal from the
sentence of United States Judge Hunt
who decided that the woman was IL
legally in this country and must be
returned to China.

Fears She May Be Killed.

Since her confinement in jail Mrs.
Sing has held daily levees, being visited
by hundreds of friends and others who
called to express their sympathy with
her. She will find an asylum with an
American family here pending her APP
peal. She is afraid to return to the
laundry kept by her late husband for
fear she might be killed by Chinaman
who came to town recently, and who is
said to be a member Of the "tong''
alleged to be responsible for the assas-
sination Of her husband.
Mrs. Sing indignantly denies that she
offered $1,000 to any American who
would marry her and make her citi-
zen. It is said, however, that she has
rejected three offers Of marriage that
have reached her since her incarcera-
tion in prison.

NEW DULUTH HARBOR :.
PLAN AS SAFEGUARD
Many Supporters of Canal Thru
Minnesota Point as Means
to Protect Shipping.
By w. w. .JarnoanA

Washington, March 31.-Many per-
sons interested in the controversy over
the proper method of safeguarding the
shipping In Duluth harbor, including A.
b. Wolvin of Duluth, have sent letters
to Chairman Burton of the rivers and
harbors committee, suggesting that a.
large canal be constructed thru Min
nesota point, about half way between
the two entrances to the harbor.
1t is asserted that with the Duluth
and Superior entrance both closed, and
the large canal cut thru the point, am
pie protection would be given to ship
ping at the wharves Of both Duluth and
Superior from the water driven up from
Lake Superior by the winds, and that
expensive breakwaters would not be
necessary.
Mr.. Burton has been studying this
problem, and there are indications that
he would favor the construction of the
large canal entering the harbor midway
between the two entrances.
Representative Bede today secured
the passage thru the house Of bill au-
thorizing the construction Of a bridge
across the Rainy river at International
Falls. The senate passed this bill some
time ago, and owing to the passage Of a
general bridge bill it was amended to
conform to that law, being the first bill
of the kind passed by either house, of
congress. It will be sent back to- the
senate for concurrence in the amend
ments. ..~y-,.'t

The Knights of Revelry ball is to Easter what the & C. s, ball is to Christmas. and the O. O. NJ ball to Mardi Gras. It is as essential to the post-Lenten season as the demi tasse is a good dinner. and the magic bits of pasteboard inviting one "to be pres ent" are as welcome an indication Of awakening social life, as the budding trees and flowers are of the renewal of vegetable life.
 The k. O. R.s give their parade and reception Mardi Gras morning, but like the child who treasures his best bit of candy for the last, save their ball until the long period of quiet just over, renders 1t doublY welcome. The society celebrated it's thiTty-second birthday this evening with an unusual ly pretty Easter ball, the decorations of the ball room repeating the glory and beauty of Spring and the magic Of Fairyland There was, too, a glory of pretty girls whose happy faces told of their Joy at being once again re- stored to their earthly paradise. a ball room with an abundance of partners The costumes of the society was the same as on Mardi Gras. creations of silks and velvet.

Nearly one hundred linemen, caple splicers and trouble men in the employ of the Southern Bell Telephone Com pany here, members of Local No, 34o of the International Brotherhood or Electrical Workers, went out on strike today, in obedience to orders from ln- ternational officers at Atlanta. The strike is for an increase in wages for all men affiliated with the brotherhood and recognition of the Union.
 Coming at this time, when large corps of men are at work re-construct- ing the entire system under continu- ous estimate plan. the strike will prove serious if long lived. Four estimates involving thousands of dollars have been made for the improvement of the system here and when the men went on strike, work upon three estimates was in progress. Hundreds of men are en- gagged changing the wires of the Moblle System from overhead to nder-ground conduits and the strike has Ieft the company without men t0 splice cables.
 Men employed in the trouble depart ment also went on strike, which will cripple the service unless settlement is reached within the next few days.
