MRS. MARTIN TO FIGHT.
Mother of 0cey Snead Will Not Leave
New York State Without
Legal Battle.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Although Mrs.
Caroline b. Martin, mother of Ocey
Snead has been indicted with Mrs Mar
tins two sisters for the murder of the
East Orange bath tub victim, the New
Jersey authorities have not yet obtained
possession Of Mrs. Martins person.
Moreover, Mrs. Martin is determined not
to be taken from New York state with
out fight Today her attorney, Col
Robert j. Hare, announced that he
would at once take steps for bringing
habeas corpus proceedings to test the
strength of the case against his client.
Some of the evidence which was pre-
scented to the grand jury in support Of
the charge that n plot existed against
Mrs. Ocey Snead became known. An i'm
portant point was made in the presenta-
ton Of documentary and other evidence
to show that letters written by Mrs
Snead to her absent husband, Fletcher
Snead, were uumailed and that his let
ters to her were intercepted.
1t Is alleged the sick woman was told
that her husband was dead and that
she had nothing to live for.

DIXIE" IS FIRST IN
PATRIOTIC SONGS.
Officially Proclaimed in Report of Chief
of Music Division in Library
Of Congress

WASHINGTON. y, C., Dec. %
Dixie has finally been officially pro-
claimed as first in American songs and
music in patriotic popularity"
Such is the verdict Of O. G.. r. Son
neck, chief of the division of music of
the library of Congress, who has Just
issued from the government press an
exhaustive report on four famous Amer
lean musical compositions.
Yankee Doodle he says. though no
longer a national song, is still national
aid and second only to Dixie in the
popularity contest"
The origin and evolution Of Yankee
Doodle" Star Spaugled Banner" Hail
Columbia" and America" are treated In
full detail in Mr.. Sonueck's volume. Fac
SMILES Of the original manuscripts are
given
The history of Yankee Doodle" is de-
scribcd as "a perfect maze of conflicting
stories and countless additions to and
variations from the original, AS many
as fourteen variations of the Star
Spaugled Banner" are noted accompa-
MED by a gradual process Of polishing
and modification.
The year in which America" was
sung in public is given as 1882, but the
exact place and the date were not def
nitely ascertained. Hail Columbia" is
strictly a product of the United States
in both words and music, in contradis-
tinction to america" and the Star
Spangled Banner" both of which partly
originated in England.

QUITS LONDON,
Lady Dufferin Finds the Climate and
Life There Trying.

Lady Dufferin, formerly Flora Davis
of Washington square, New York, has
decided to make me- home hereafter in
the country. The marchioness has been
far from strong for the past year, and
has found the trying climate and the So
cal strain in London rather more than
she wishes to stand. Recently she has
been in town experimenting arrange
ments for moving from Carlton House
gardens. There she has been giving a
few small dinners followed by music, to
which she contributed no little, for she
is very musical and has remarkably
sweet voice, which has been we'll trained.
Flora Davis, only daughter of John H.
Davis. banker. was one of the most
beautiful girls in New York society when
she consented to become the wife of
Lord Terence Blackwood. the second son
of the first Marquis of Dufferin and Ava,
The wedding took place October IL. 1898,
in Paris, where Lord Terence father,
who had been encouragement of Cana
da and who had filed with distinction
many important diplomatic POSITIONS then
represented Great Britain as ambassador
to France. Nine years later Lord Ter
ence who in the meantime had succeeded
to the courtesy title of Lord, Clande-
boye, became the second Marquis of
Dufferin and Ava. There are three chill
dren. Lady Doris Gwendoline, IA years
old; Lady Usula Florence, 10, and Lady
Patricia Ethel, Z.
Lady Dufferin has been greatly adj
mired in British society not only because
of her regal loneliness but on account of
her personal graces and her charming
hOSDitality.

OBTAINS ALLEN PAPERS
COURT GETS DOCUMENTS FROM
CHICAGO BANK VAULTS.
Bankers Sister-in-Law and Brother-in-
Law Procure Freedom by Get
ting Bal.

MADISON. Wis, Dec 23.--L Special. ]
Fifty letters comprising the CORE
spoudence between Phil Allen and his
sistcr-in-law. Miss Addic Jackson, and
his brother-in-law, Guy Roe of Wiuona,
Mimi, together with certificates of the
face value of over half a million dollars,
were introduced in evidence and identi-
fed by Miss Jackson when the hearing
on the creditors claims was continued
in the bankruptcy court this morning.
The question related to the disposition
of Aliens property in the alleged effort
TO conceal his assets.
Miss Jackson's testimony showed that
Allen turned over to her nearly all his
property, largely for the benefit of his
wife. All the correspondence is now in
possession of the court.
Mr.. Roe and Miss Jackson secured
their release from Jail this morning
through their attorney, John Awkward.
Roe furnished bail of $1,000, the sum
covered by a draft, and Miss Jackson
put up certificate of $1,000, to which
amount her bail was reduced.
Attorney Jackman. representing the
Central Wisconsin Trust company, re-
turned from Chicago today with the
copies and papers taken from the safety
deposit vaults of the Illinois Trust COM
pany and the Redford Sash and Door
company of which Miss Jackson is
stenographcr and bookkeeper. He said
he had much trouble in getting the cor
rcspondence He produced the court or
der but it was not honored. 1t appears
that the name of the bank was given
wrongly on the order, through a mistake
of Miss Jackson.
