Perhaps she doesn't know about

No, perhaps not.

A Remarkable Variety of Cook.
les and Small Pastry

It's an item worthy of remark;
the great variety of cookies, and
small pastry which you will find
at this big bakery. There are
all the old fashioned kinds which
used to taste so good when you
were a child; there are new kinds
that YOU possibly haven't tried
yet; there are German cakes and
cookies that are strange and odd
yet mighty fine at that.
Among the different varieties
are ginger, oatmeal, graham,
plain sugar, cocoanut, and spice
cookies; peanut bars, fig bars,
almond and cocoanut macaroons;
iced tea cakes and hosts of other
tempting little baked danties, all
fresh from the oven; better than
any package goods you can buy.
Most of them sell at only Zoe
a dozen.

CATHOLIC BISHOPS
POWERS ABRIDGED
THEY CAN NO LONGER REMOVE
PRIESTS WITHOUT SPECIFIC
CAUSE

Rome, April 1.-THE Consistorial
Congregation publishes a decision of
vast Importance to all American
bishops and parish priests. Hitherto
bishops could summarily remove pas
tors from office without specifying any
reason. The present decision radical
ly changes that by extending to
America a provision of the recent de-
cree of the Maxima Cura.
This summary power of the bishops
no longer exists. Nine causes are
enumerated, which will justify the re-
moval of any of the 5000 American
pastors, and existence for such cause
must be determined, not by the bishop
alone, but by special court consist
ing Of the bishop and two priests.
The decision obliges all American
bishops to constitute Immediately two
new classes of diocesan officials for
the execution of the law, which ap-
plies also to all other English-speak-
ing countries.

Miller, who was recently convicted of
perjury in connection with her testi.
mony before the legislative committee
that investigated Judge Greeley Whit
ford, was sentenced to from four to
six years in the penitentiary for per-
jury. District Judge c. M. Bliss said
he would not give the maximum,
which he would like to do, because
Mrs. Miller had given important in
formation to the district attorney.
District Attorney w. V. Elliot himself
made plea for the minimum sentence
on account of the disclosures which
he said Mrs. Miller had made to him
in connection with the alleged in
ducements offered her to testify

Kansas City, April 11.-Dr. B.
Clark Hyde, who was convicted after
a sensational trial of the murder of
Colonel Thomas H. Swope, the mil
lionaire Kansas City philanthropist,
was today granted new trial by the
Missouri supreme court, sitting at
Jefferson City. DR.. Hyde has been
in the county jail in Kansas City for
nearly year, following his sentence
to life Imprisonment. The supreme
court in setting aside the verdict of
the trial court remands DR.. Hyde ito
the custody of the marshal of Jackson
county without bail" This action was
a great disappointment to DR.. Hyde.

cation was to have been made imme
1iately for the release of Hyde on
bond pending the new trial.

The "cause ceIebre"

DR.. Hyde was found guilty of first
degree murder on May 16, last. His
counsel Immediately filed motion
for a new trial, which was overruled
by Judge Ralph s. Latshaw, where
upon an appeal was taken to the SUI
preme court of Missouri. Under the
statutes of Missouri a convicted MUIR
derer cannot be admitted to bail. Since
his conviction, therefore, DR.. Hyde
has been a prisoner in the county jail.
DIR. B. Clark Hyde was indicted on
March 5. 1910, on eleven counts, two
of them charging him with murder
in the first degree, one with man
slaughter and eight with attempted
murder. The most serious charge

San Diego, Calf, April 11.-Held
prisoners by Mexican insurrectos in
a big corral at Alamo, Lower Califor-
nit, insulted by the guards and with
little hope for their release, G. Raffi,
his wife and five children, of San
Diego, and several other American
women whose names have not been

concern to the state and navy depart
ments of the United States. Secre-
tary of State Knox has taken up the
matter with the Mexican government,
and the American consul at Ensenada
has been wired to investigate and
ask Governor Vega for protection for
these people. 1t is charged by G. Hen
ry Savage, of this city, relative of
Mrs. Raffi, who appealed to Secretary
Knox, that American Consul Schmuck-
er at Ensenada ignored the complaint
made to him and that Governor Vega
did not send any relief. 1t is charged
that the instructors, who are said to
be commanded by General Simon
Berthold, have offered indignities to
the women.

TREASURER OF
QUAY CO. SkIPS
AN APPARENT SHORTAGE OF
$4,000 IN HIS OFFICIAL
ACCOUNTS

Tucumcari, N. *, April 11.-C. H.
Chenault, treasurer of Quay county,
is missing. There is an apparent
shortage of $4,000 in his official ac-
counts, which probably explains his
sudden departure for parts unknown.
The shortage is fully protected by
bond and the county will lose moth
ing. The grand jury is now in ses-
sion here and it is likely indictments
will be returned against the alleged
absconder. Territorial Travelling Audi
tor Charles V. Stafford, upon a recent
examination of the treasurer's ac-
counts, discovered that numerous fines
and licenses had not been collected.
He ordered executions issued to get
this outstanding money. 1t now de-
velops that these monies were collect
ed. but had been appropriated by
Chenault to his own use, according to
present indications. Mr.. Stafford was
wired for today and will be here to-
morrow. Chenault's disappearance has
caused sensation.

Washington, April 1.-THE stand
ing committees of the house of repre-
sOntatives we're elected by that body
today, after the full committee lists
had been presented by Chairman Tn
derwood of the ways and means
committee. The minority committee
selections, as prepared by Minority
Leader James R. Mann, contained
many surprises. The desire to accord
impartial treatment to the insurgent
republicans is shown in the choice
of committee places given them. Two
of the leading insurgents, Madison
of Kansas, and Lenroot of Wisconsin,
were placed on the rules committee,
where the republicans have but four
places. GOodeof of Iowa, was appoint
ed to the appropriations committee,
a particularly choice berth; Kopp of
Wisconsin on the naval affairs COM
mittee; Norris of Nebraska, on
Judiciary Former Speaker Joseph G.
Cannon becomes the ranking republi-
can member of the appropriations
and the retirement of for
mer Chairman Tawney probably will
make the former speaker the repub-
Iican leader in debates on appropria- |
ton matters. Minority Leader Mann
took no committee assignments HIM
self and will act solely as the chair
man of the minority conference. The
republican list includes the assign
ment of Berger, socialist of Wiscon-
sin, to the committee on the District |
