DENVER, Jan. 26.--The military arm

Gov. Parks issued a pardon releasing
Eva May Rockefeller, an 11-year-old
girl, from the State Home for Depend
ent Children at the request of the par
ents. The board of control of the insti-
tuition denied the right of the acting
governor to pardon inmates of the
home and refused to obey the order to
give the child into the hands of her
parents. Thereupon acting Gov. Parks
today directed Adj. Gen. Bukeley Wells
to use all means to enforce the order
Of pardon.
Detailing Col. Kelly Of the adjutant
generals office to accompany him, Gen.
Wells drove to the home in carriage,
demanded the child in the name of the
state and was given possession of the
little one. The general then returned
to the capital, presented the girl to the
acting governor, who Immediately
turned her over to the parents. The
Rockefellers boarded the first train
east on their way to Salina, Kan.
The members of the board of control
Of the Home for Dependent Children

Thomas Higgins, Irish Nationalist, Is
Found Llfeless in His
Bed
BY Associated Press.

LONDON, Jan. 26.-Thomas Higgins,
Irish Nationalist, who yesterday sue
cessfully contested North Galway
against Col. John Philip Nolan, Irish
Nationalist, was found dead in bed at
his hotel at Tuam today. The tragic
occurrence is attributed to the excite
ment of yesterdays polling acting on a
weak heart. Mr.. Higgins was one of
the most militant Nationalists in the
west of Ireland and had many con-
ficts with the police. He was impris-
oned under the crimes act during
Arthur j. Balfour's tenure of the chief
secretaryship of Ireland.
Twenty eight divisions were polling
today. This practically marks the end
of the elections, as less than a dozen
scattered constituents will then remain
to poll.
Lionel Walter Rothschild, Unionist,
has been reelected for the middle di-
vision of Buckinghamshire though the
Rev. Silas Kittohocklng, the novelist,
gave him a good race, reducing the
Unionist majority at the last contested
election by one-half.
The totals now are: Liberals, 351;
Unionists, 149; Irish Natlonalists, 81;
Laborites, 40.

SEATTLE, Jan. 26.--More than 100
people are now searching the coast OF
Vancouver within q radius of twenty
miles on either side of the wreck of
the Valencia with the hope of finding
some survivors from the vessel. In
order to assist in the search the Pa
cihc Coast Steamship company tonight
dispatched a tug in command of Port
Capt Patterson to the scene of the
disaster. Capt. Patterson took with
him two Newfoundland dories with
fishermen to man them. These boats
are considered safest in a heavy sea-
The plan is to get as near the wreck
as possible and send the dories ashore.
Capt Patterson expects to find the
weather sufficiently calmed by the time
he reaches there to enable him to make
landing.
Parties Of men and tugs have been
sent out from Victoria and are now on
the scene. The Indians have been en-
ployed to beat the bush In case any
survivors have wandered inland.
Up to the present time thirty-seven
men have been saved from the wreck.
This leaves III still unaccounted for.
Some hope is still held out for the last
boat to leave the ship. 1t has not been
reported and it Is possible that it has
made the shore somewhere In the vicin-
ity Of the wreck.
The twenty-three men who were
brought to Seattle on the Topeka were
sent to hotels by the steamship com
pany and will be kept there until they
have arranged plans for the future.
SO far rescuers have been unable to
save any bodies. The tug sent out by
the Pacific Coast Steamship company
will make efforts to secure any which
may be OH the beach.

o'clock last night. The robber sue
ceeded in getting away with S2,500
worth of jewelry
1t was one of the most daring rob
berries that has been reported to the
police for many months.
1t is thought by member of the
family that the burglar entered the
house through n side door while the
family were at dinner and secreted
himself In closet and waited for a
favorable time to begin operation.
Miss Bradner was busy with her
duties as servant when she heard a
noise on the second floor. Going into
the hall she saw a man starting down
the stairs with package under his
arm. She called to him and asked:
What are you doing here?
go to -" was the response.
Undaunted by the fierce aspect of the
robber Miss Bradner started toward
him The man attempted to pass her
but she grabbed hold of his clothing
and struggle ensued between the two.
Burglar Drops VaIuabIes
The burglar was unable to wrench
himself from the girls grasp until he
had dragged her through a low window
which opened upon the porch. In the
scuffle both the thief and Miss Brad
ner received several cuts from the
broken glass.
In his attempt to release himself from
the girls grip. the robber was forced
to drop bundle which was afterward
found to contain silverware, a gold
watch and n diamond necklace, valued
at nearly $1,000. ..s-.--.- . ~
Two Of the gold rings which the
burglar took are valued as heirlooms
and are in themselves worth several
hundred dollars.
The police say that Miss Bradner's S
actions i'm attempting to hold the
robber were the bravest that they have
every heard of in a girl and they give
her great deal of credit for her pluck.
She is % years of age and has been in
the employ of the Lovett family about
two months.
The police were unable to find any
clue to the thief last night but believe
that he may be identified on account
of the ,cuts which he is thought to
have sustained while breaking the glass
in order to make his escape.
