While viewing with disfavor the ac-
ton of the Cuban government in con
tracing for arms and ammunition
with a German firm, without open
competition, thus shutting out Am
erican bidders, it is said that no di.
rect demand has been made by the
state department TO have the contract
held up. General instructions have
been given the American representa-
tive in Havana looking to calling the
attention of Cuba TO the matter, SO
that American merchants may enjoy

The public schools in Washington
have just observed what is called vine
day for the first time. 1t came about
through the inspiration of Miss Susan
b. Sipe, instructor of botany in the
Washington normal school, who pro-
posed such action, ito beautify all
back fences that abutted on the
streets, and on those alleys which are
generally used as thoroughfares, by
having vines OF different kinds planted
on either side" The project was
promptly Endorsed by the board of ed
ucation. The climate of other cities
may be well adapted to promote the
growing of vines.

Lets In Oleo.

The farmers of Michigan will find
a new proposition TO cut the present
prohibitive internal revenue tax on
oleomargarine, a menace TO the but
ter-making industry Secretary Mac
Veagh, Of the treasury, has worked
out the details of provision fixing
a fiat rate of two cents a pound.
This rate is intended 10 take the
place of the 10-cent rate now taxed
against colored oleomargarine and the
half-cent rate taxed against uncolored.
This change would probably reduce
the price OF butter by opening wider
market to cleo and would according
to Mr.. MacVeagh's figures, furnish
about 100000 in revenue.

WOMAN DESERTED
IN HOUR OF NEED
Evidence in Police Court Brings Out
Pathetic Story of Aban-
donment.

What is pronounced by Asst County
Atty. Aaron Myers to be one of tho
worst cases OF neglect ever seen in this
state, came to light today, when the
preliminary hearing of Joseph Z. Fow-
Ter was begun before Judge Bowman
In police court. Fowler is charged
with non-support and desertion of his
wife and four little children, the oldest
of which is only 31s years old. while
the youngest is but three months old,
and two twins are two years old. The
testimony by witnesses for the prosecu
tion showed that Fowler had deserted
his family last May, and that during
that time he has provided nothing for
their support and they have been deSti-
tute. Mrs. Fowler gave birth to
baby last August, after she had been
insane for several months.
David NJ. Broberg OF Salt Lake City,
father OF Mrs. Fowler. testified that he
had hunted for his daughter for several
months, and that he found her at last,
in October, in Huntington, in southern
Utah, where her husband had deserted
her and the four babies She was liv-
Ing In tumbled down shack, the walls
OF which were full of kinks. She and
the children were In rags and all OF
them had been starved almost to death.
Inc Droken-hearted old man round his
daughter wandering about the outskirts
of the town, her 3-months-old baby In
her arms, both almost naked.
With a roaring cold wind whipping
her tattered calico dress around her
emaciated body, the young woman
raved and sang and screamed and wept
alternately, her brain shattered with
grief and sickness and despair at her
husbands cruel desertion. The gray
haired old man led his tottering girl
back to town and brought her to Salt
Lake City. 1t is feared that she will
die. and the physicians say that she is
hopelessly insane.
DR.. Seymour B. Young testified rs to
the woman's insanity. Miss Emma
Broberg, sister OF Mrs. Fowler, testified
as to Fowlcrs abuse and neglect of his
young wtfe ever since their marriage
The case was continued until Friday
morning, when the defendant will tes-
tify In his own behalf.
So outraged did the county attorney
feel over this case that he went to the
unusual extreme, in non-support mat
ter. of sending an officer to Albion.
Idaho. where Fowler had fled when u
warrant was issued for his arrest.

Miss Jordan was not so anxious to
prosecute the young men as she was to

erty. Christie is wanted in Denver. st.

the Chicago officials.
Christie stole a large sum OF money
from a guest In a Chicago hotel where
he was working and skipped. He started
ed across the continent and committed
crime OF some sort in every city he
stopped. In ST. Louis he turned UP

tewelry was stolen out of a room in a
hotel where he was working as a bell
boy. lie committed a theft in Den
Yer hotel and then came to Salt Lake
where he stole Miss Jordan's diamonds.
Christie took Miss Jordan's diamonds
saying that she had ordered him to
have them cleaned. He never returned
to the hotel.
After Christie left Salt Lake. the DO
lice received word that he was wanted
in a number of cities. Descriptions OF
the young man were sent to San Fran
cisco and he was arrested there while
employed as a bell boy.
