Cheyenne, Wyo.-Driven to distrac-
ton, with her heart breaking over the
loss OF her baby girl. Mrs. Jennie Mar
tin, comely young widow OF Sho-
shoni, has appealed to the public press
and police authorities of the West to
help her locate her child.

lis, paying so much per week for its
keep. Until a month ago. Mrs. Mar
tin heard regularly from the family re-
garding her baby. Suddenly letters
ceased coming. and after two weeks OF
anxiety the brave little widow started
on a fifty-mile stage journey to Their
mopolis to make an investigation.
When she arrived she was told that
the family in whose care she had
placed the baby had moved away to
parts unknown. Mrs. Martin had spent
her all to reach Thermopolis. and she
was financially unable to prosecute the
search for the lost baby further. SC
she has appealed to the public press

her child.

Japanese Laborers Denied Entrance.

San Francisco.-Two hundred and
ninety-five Japanese laborers, who
came in on the Pacific Mail steamship
Korea, are detained on the steamer
pending advices from the Department
of immigration at Washington as to
whether the local immigration authori-
ties shall let them proceed by steamer
to British Columbia. Their passports
are for Honolulu, and Commissioner
North is doubtful as to passing them
on to their port of destination.
The Korea is the first steamer to
land Japanese since the new law was
passed, and Commissioner North and
Commissioner ]. S. Rodgers OF Phila'
delphia, and Harrison Nesbit, assistant
solicitor of the Department OF Com
merce and Labor, who are in this city
on a mission OF inquiry, the nature OF
which they refuse to divulge, went

SENATOR PATTERSON MUST PAY
Supreme Court Refuses to Interfere
With Famous Contempt Case.

Washington.-The Supreme Court of
the United States dismissed the writ
of error in the case OF former United
States Senator Thomas NJ. Patterson
Of Colorado, in which the senator was
fined 81 900 by the Colorado Supreme
Court on the charge of contempt The
action has the practical effect OF af-
Grming the decision OF the Colorado
courts.
The opinion Of the case was deliv-
cred by Justice Holmes. who said IN cf-
feet that the court was without 1uris-
diction. Justice Harlan delivered a dis
senting opinion. Justice Brewer also
dissented from the decision. holding
that the court was not without iuris-
diction.
The proceeding against Patterson
grew out of the Colorado Supreme
Courts decisions in election cases fol-
lowing the acrimonious state cam
paign of 1904.
The senator is the principal owner
Of the Denver Times and the Rocky
Mountain News. both Denver daily pa

Ions published in the two papers. in
which the charge was inferred to have

Went to the corporation interests OF
the state. When called upon TO answer
Mr.. Patterson pleaded the truth of the
allegations made by the papers. The
court thereupon promptly imposed a
fine of 81 900 upon the charge of con
tempt with the alternative OF paying
or being imprisoned.
Instead of doing either the senator
prevailed upon Justice Brewer to issue
n writ Of error. bringing the case to the
federal Supreme Court with the result
as announced, that he failed TO secure
release from the sentence.

Preslden. Roosevelt to Speak.

Washington.-There Is probability
that President Roosevelt will discuss
the railroad question in one OF three
speeches he is to deliver before going
to Oyster Bay for the summer. He is
to speak at jamestown, at the unveil-

dianapolis, and before the students OF
the Michigan Agricultural College at
Lansing, Michigan. On what particu'

railroads has not been determined,

At jamestown he is to discuss histor.

Chicago.-The immigrant bureau OF

European points through New York

Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness. which not only destroys the

ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-

astounding facts have been made
known by members of the jury con-
corning George Pfaff, the only juror
who held out for verdict of murder
in the first degree. and the death pen
atty for Thaw.
The first was that Pfaff, during the
trial of Thaw, wrote personal notes to
District Attorney Jerome, and that so
indignant did the other jurors finally
become about his conduct in this re-
gard that they threatened to call the
impropriety to the attention Of Justice
