MAID ROBS HER
QUEEN OF GEMS

VIENNA, Feb. 15.-A dispatch from
Athens says a great sensation has
been created in that city by the rob-
berry of $4,000 in jewels belonging to
Queen Olga of Greece.
A maid servant has been arrested,
and had confessed that on various oc-
casions she took precious stones and
valuable medals.
These she gave to German gold
smith. who was her sweetheart and
he replaced them by counterfeits to
delay the discovery of the thefts.
All efforts to find the goldsmith
have so far been fruitless and it is
believed by the authorities that he
has made good his escape to America.

Hot Springs, March l4.--Gen. E. w. Green of Little Rock was in Hot Springs today, but he did not visit Oaklawu race track. While here he conferred with Mayor George K. Bedling, Sheriff K. l.. Williams and several other citizens. He investigated the al- legged failure of local officials to serve legally prepared processes on the officials at Oaklawn, or On other alleged lawbreakers. He left the city this afternoon for Little Rock.
 It is authoritatively stated that General Green will recommend that the militia be not called out, as the officials seem willing to enforce all legal processes pre- seuted by citizens. It is said that he had conference with the members of the Citizens Improve ment Union, but the latter will make no statement:

DECIDED AGAINST RUFF.
Supreme Court of California Denies Writs of Habcas Corpus to
 Ruef and Schmitz.

San Francisco, March 16.--The SUI preufe court has denied the applica- tions of Mayor Schmitz and Abra- ham Ruef for writs of habeas cor pus. In the case of the mayor the merits of his applications were not dwelt upon at all. The court held that his plea that he was unjustly held in custody on grand jury indict- ments was made merely to make out case of habeas corpus, that his re- straint was not actual but technical and that he became nominal pris- oner for the purpose of securing the writ. The court cited a previous de- cision in similar case in which 1t was decided that hereafter the court will make strict inquiry in this class of cases. whether the alleged Imprisonment is actual or voluntary and if it is found--to be as in this case merely nominal restraint vol untarily submitted to for the pur- pose of making a case of habeas cor pus, the petition will be summarily dismissed.
 Ruefs petition cited the allegation that the grand jury was illegal be- cause one of the jurors had within a year served as petty juror. The court held this plea lacked weight. Another allegation was that the in dietment did not allege an offense. The court held that the charge of attempted extortjon was clearly stated. On the subject of admitting the prisoner to ball the court de cided that that was a question en- tirely within the discretion of the trial court.

MAY NEVER BE TRIED.
Colorado Has No Evidence to Convict B. c. Wright for Murder of
 Wife and Child.

Denver, March 14-Unless new and important evidence shall be found against Benjamin C. Wright, he will nrobably never be tried on the charge of murdering his wife and child. Dis trict Attorney George A. Stidger ad- mits that evidence to convict the man is lacking, but has not yet dropped the investigation. The alleged con fession made by Wright to Chief of Police Michael A. Delaney is said to be worthless as evidence, having been obtained by use of physical force. Three physicians who exam ined Wright in jail after he made the confession declared that he had re- gently been cruelty beaten as he claimed. No poison was found iD the bodies of Mrs. Wright and her child ann it Is claimed by the de- fense that their deaths were proba- bly caused by carbon dioxide from a defective gas heater in which fire had been burning all night when the bodies were found As test of this theory the defense placed dog in the house with the gas heater burn ing and after two hours, 1t Is assert

z.1I, - .. AAt-a@.s M. Nippert, local representaave of the Eastern Bonding company that furn- ished Ruef's $50,000 bail, which was declared forfeited after Ruef went into hiding at the Trocadero. In his affidavit Nippert swears that in last September when he and Judge Dunne and Charles Leonard were spending a vacation at Bulnelle, fishing re- sort in Pfumas county, during three cornered conversation, Judge Dunne averred his belief that there was a great deal of grating going on in San Francisco and denounced Ruef and Schmitz as grafters.
 Dr. Patek in his affidavit swears that the remarks attributed by NIP pert to Dunne were not made by the latter but by Nippert himself. He further affirms that "On the con trary. Judge Dunne made no state ment that any grating was going on and made no statement at all as to his regard or lack of regard for Abraham Ruef or Eugene E. Schmitz or denounced them or even mentioned their names; and during this conver- sation no one except Nippert ex pressed any bias or feeling against Ruef and the mayor: and that not even him or Nippert called the mayor by name"
 Judge Dunnes affidavit is a cata- gorica! denial of the allegations of bias made against him in the affi davits of Ruef and Nippert. Judge Dunne among other things declared that he has "neyer taken an active interest in politics either in opposi- tion to Ruef or otherwise
 Judge Dunne ordered the impanel- ment of the Ruef jury to be begun Trial was then adjourned until Mon day

Markets the Natural Abode of Strong
 Language, Says Writer.

The unpublished piisaseology, native though not peculiar to this quarter of London. has given rise to the proyer- bial use of the name Billingsgate. One may term this the Esculine Gate of London" says old Fuller Here one may hear linguas jurgatrices.' The seventeenth century references to the rhetoric" or obscene language of the market are frequent, and hence foul language itself is called "billingsgate." In Vanity Fair" too, Thackeray tells us how MT. Osborne cursed Billings gate with an emphasis worthy of the place.
 It is curious how markets are the natural abode of strong language. Thus the French equivalent for You are no better than Billingsgate fish flag is Your compliments are like those of the Place Maubert," the Place Maubert being noted for it's market.
 In the good old days the Billingsgate porters seem to have thoroughly en- joyed themselves. for one Bagford writing in 1715 says. This being to my mind another ancient custom that hath been omitted of late years. It seems that in former times the porters that piled at Billingsgate used civilly to entreat and desire every man that passed that way to salute post that stood there in vacant place. If he refused to do this they forthwith laid hold of him and by main force bumped him against the post. but if he quietly submitted to kiss the same, and paid down sixpence they gave him name, and chose some one of the gang for his godfather. l believe this was done in memory of some old image that for merly stood there, perhaps of Belus, or Belin."
 The original porters of Billingsgate belonged to one of the oldest labor guilds in the country. the Fellowship of Porters. and at one time the carry ing work both at Billngsgate and from the wharyes to the warehouses of the city within certain radius was entire ly performed by them.

San Francisco, March 14.-Judge Dunnes court was crowded, all the seats and standing room being occu- pied, when the case of the people against Abraham Ruef. accused of extortion. was called for trial Wednesday Assistant District Attor- ney Heney offered and filed counter affidavits of Judge Dunne, Dr. Robert Patek, F. j.

 Mir. Ach. of counsel for Ruef, inter. rupted Heney with motion for a change of trial judges and asked for an adjournment of court to enable the defense to examine the affidavits of the prosecution and determine wheth- CT they required the filing of other affidavits in answer.
 Mir. Heney opposed this motion on the ground that allegations of bias and prejudice on the part of trial judge constitutes summary proceed ing He then proceeded to read his own affidavit when Ach again inter- rupted anl objected to its being read aloud in the hearing of the talesmen present in court Heney conceded the point and handed the affidavit to Judge Dunne who read it. silently.
