Quarters in Police Station and
Health Is Breaking Down.

Eating but little. and worrying and
brooding almost constantly. Mrs. Pau
line Barrows, whose husband was shot
and killed by her alleged lover
Michael Burkhart. has grown percep
tibly thinner during her long con,
hnement in the inatron's room at po
lice headquarters
Defiant and saucy to the officers
Immediately after the shooting, the
woman proved mystery to the police
during the first few days of her de-
tention. Nothing seemed to strike her
seriously. and in the shadow of the
crime that made her a widow, and may
send her alleged lover TO prison for
Life, this woman smiled and smirked
as though there we're nothing serious
IN the world.
But the treatment accorded her by
her neighbors and relatives when she
attended the funeral of her husband
seemed to bring her to realization oil
her position.
There. she broke down and sobbed
throwing herself on her husbands cas-
ket. When she returned to the sta
ton, she was a changed woman. Dur
ing the last few days. she has been
melancholy and communicative.
Once each week. or oftener, her lit
tie son and daughter are brought to
see her, and only at these times does
she seem happy.

SUGAR SCHEDULE
REMAINS INTACT
Senate Refuses to Strike Out From
Bill Dutch Standard of Color
Finance Committee in Control.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The SEN
ate, by vote OF AZ TO SO today re-
fused to strike out from the sugar
schedule the Dutch standard OF color.
II was on this subject that the great
fight of the Democrats and insurgent
Republicans centered. The result
shows that the finance committee has
majority of IL votes to carry
through the entire sugar schedule as
it stands. The following Republicans
voted for the Bristow amendment to
strike out the Dutch standard:
Beveridge, Bristow, Brown, Clapp,
Crawford. Cummins. Dolliver John
lette and Nelson.
The only Democrats to vote to retain
Louisiana, Foster and McEnery.
A vote was then taken on an amend
ment to strike out the differential OF
seven and one-half cents a hundred
pounds in favor OF the refiners. The
motion to strike out was lost by vote
of 81 to SO. The Republicans who vot-
ed with the Democrats for the amend
ment were: Beveridge. Bristow, Clapp,
Crawford. La Toilette and Nelson.
The progressive Republicans and
Democrats voting against the amend
ment were: Brown. Cummins. Dolli-
yer, and Johnson, of North Dakota,
Republicans, and Foster and McEn-
cry, Democrats.
Bailey then offered his income tax
proposition as an amendment To- the
sugar schedule.
A new point of view on the sugar
question was presented by Cummins
In the senate today. He declared that
either cane or beet sugar would con
troll the American market, but that
both the refners of cane sugar and
the beet sugar manufacturers could
not survive. 1t was an utter impossi'
bility to protect both interests In the
same law. He spoke OF the great
amount OF sugar that will come from
the Philippines and added:
Il believe II will not be long before
Cuban sugar comes in free. III the
cane sugar of the world Is admitted to
this country, where will the American
beet sugar manufacturer get his mar
ket? You must make schedule that
VIII either put the business III tine
hands of the cane sugar rehners, OF
the beet sugar manufacturers"
He said the Aldrich bill would tend
to place the business in the hands oil
the refiners. Cummins asserted that
he favored the development OF the
beet sugar interests, but he might on
account Of the white mans burden
vote for free sugar from the Philip.
pines. He declared that man could
not now establish beet sugar factory
in this country, without first getting
permission from the sugar trust.
Cummins, after denouncing the
sugar trust as commercial tyran'
which had the beet sugar industry al
its mercy, declared every pound oil
sugar turned into the market by the
cane sugar prouucer displaced Sc
much beet sugar. He would so ADJUST
the schedule that the cane sugar re
Aner would have more difficult time
He denounced the Dutch standard oil
color as odd useless. unnecessary. un

SALOONKEEPERS
SEEK CITIZENSHIP
Aliens in Business Hustle to Meet
Provisions of the Warner
Cramton Bill.

There was a touch OF pathos in the
effort of Alexander Vizkelety to be
made citizen of the United States
in Judge Hosmer's court, Thursday.
Unless he becomes a citizen the immi-
grafton officers of New York will not
allow his crippled daughter to land In
this country. The father has been In
this country for five years and has
prospered, but has never been allowed
&c bring the lame girl here, and she
is now living with relatives in Europe.
This effort OF the father to re-unite
his family added interest to his case,
and DIT Its conclusion Judge Hosmer re-
marked that he thought the man
should be admitted. The case was
postponed for 80 days to correct an
error In Taper. and then IL is proba-
bic that Vizkelety will become a citi-
zen. ard the absent girl, now 10 years
old. will join the family. Vizkelety
came to America five years ago. bring
I ing with him about $4,000. He EN-
gagged In the grocery and butcher
business and is now worth $500.
A remarkable feature OF the session
was the rush of saloonkeepers to be-
come citizens. This Is said to be
due TO the new Warner Cramton

vides that no license shall be issued

Sarah Greenfield, the 15-year-old girl
who charged that her father had fore
ed her into n marriage, was In juvenile
court, Thursday. There she again
told Of the pressure brought to bear

To get the license. the father swore
that the girl was 16 years OF age. bus

With the girl in court were her par

fast aground off Fort Wadsworth. The
steamer lies in an easy position. put

though she may be foated at nigh
tide. The bottom at this point is very
rocky and there were fears that the
big liner may have sustained some
damage. but her captain has notified
the officials OF the line that she Is
taking no water and Is seemingly un'
injured.
The cause OF the steamer running
aground was primarily the fog and
heavy weather that has hung over tho
harbor since early last night. SO
thick is 1t that several OF the big lin-
ers did not try TO get out. but remain
ed at their docks. Ii Is believed that

peevishness. Several times Judge
Mahdell was compelled to demonstrate
and once he called two OF the oppos.

Madame Meadow, charged by Spe'

She had admitted that she told
Smith that the venture In which he

that the madame was foretelling her

Il can't believe that my spirit

She said that Smith had asked her.

Assistant Prosecutor Crane asked
her how she fixed her prices, and she
said that half reading was so cents,

The fact that the management OF
