She was loudly cheered by a erowd of 200 versons as she left the prison. Her release was made at the in- stance ol District Attorney " Jerome, who sald he did not believe another trial would result other than in a disagreement. At the same time he declared that there had been a serious scarriage of justice. He said many of the newspapers had labored to cre- ate sympathy for the girl and that this > had “caused one more step in this country towards trial by news: paper rather than trial by jury.”” He approved of all his assistant, Mr. Rand, had done or said in conducting the case and added: “The people L prove our action. whom [ care ap- rom the sane part of the communily we have received nothing bat fairness. 1 have informa- tion that admits of no doubt that there was unanimity in the juryroom on three points: First, Morgan Smith bought the pistol; second, Nan Patter. son took the pistol in the cab her; third, Caesar Young did not com- ide. 1 ask thal the prisouer harged on her recognizance.” Greeted by Her Aged Father. £s Miss Patterson left the criminal courtroom she was met at the thresh- old by her tather, who threw his arms around her and exclaimed, “Thank God, my daughter,” as-she left the' building.

St. Petersburg, May 13—The ad- miralty declines to divulge any iu- formation which it has about the ships of the Vladivostok division which are reported to be off the coast of Japan, but the impression prevails in naval circles that, acting under the instruc- tions of Vice Admiral Rojestvensky, they have passed through Tsugaru straits fnto the Pacific on a recon- naissance to ascertain if the passage is free of mines and feasible for Ro- Jestvensky’s squadron and also to threaten Japanese commerce. All the Russian naval divisions now in the Far East are acting under Rojestven- sky’s orders. M. Vronski, the military expert of the Novoe Vremya, explains that the failure of Field Marshal Oyama to undertake an advance as well as the failure of the Japanese to send an expedition to®the island of Sakhalin is due to the appearance of Rojest: vensky's squadron in Chinese wate: EXPLANATION NECESSARY.

Cummnins of dowa testified during the day before the senate committee on interstate commerce, which is consider- ing railroad legislation.

Snyder, Okla., May 13—Ninety-five bodies of victims of Wednesday night's tornado had been found up to noon. At that time thirty-five persons were still missing and the list of seriously injured numbered 115,-0f whom twen- ty-five were believed to be fatally hurt. Twenty-five or thirty others were slightly hurt, The fnancial loss is estimated at $500,060. Reports brought in from the coun- try, which has been shut off since ‘Wednesday night by lack of telegraph facilities, indicate that_ tweuty -five per- sous were killed outfide of Smyder, waking a possible total dead of 120. Verification of the loss of life in the country will, naturally, be slow. Pitiable 'scenes of want and suffer- ing were seen here during the day on all sides. Much confuston still exist- ed despite the efforts of hundreds of outsiders to aid the: victims of the tornado. Many who ‘had lost every- thing they possessed went hungry and practically unprotected from the cold. Appeal for Aid Answered. Later in the day Governor Fer- guson’s request o the people of Okla- homa (o render immediate aid to the destitute people began to show re- sults. Carloads of provisions, cloth- ing, tents, bedding and medicines be- pgan to arrlve and with them came added numbers of persons from all directions to aid in attending to the immediate wants of the citizens. The most sertous phase of the situa- tion is the necessity for the imme- diate housing of the homeless and the providing of sufficient medical care for the injured. All night two dozen men worked 4ncessantly preparing. the bodies of thie victims for burial ‘and during the day dozens of funerals were held. Plenty of coffins had been sent in, but wagons and drays had to be used in carting the remains to the ceme- teries. All day long crude hearses passed through the littered streets.

Of this number fifty remain there and the six deaths that have occurred leave the number still there forty-four. BSeveral of the injured are in hotels. No estimate of the financial losses of the railroad property has been made by the company officials, although it is believed that $100,000 will not cover the loss of the passenger train alone. Sam 8. Shubert, New York theat- rical manager, died at 9:50 a. m. at the Commonwealth hotel, where he was taken soon after he escaped from the burning wreck. RESULT ' OF GAS EXPLOSION.

Rapid City, S. D.,, May 13.—Reports are coming in from the range in this immedlate vicinity which show that the recent snow storm has made i« ble havoc among horses and cattle. The snow seems to have been the worst in this vicinity, for reports from Belle Fourche and north of this dis- trict further indicate that there was not much of a snowfall and the loss to stock will be small. Lightning also played havoc with the stock, in one instance a man 1os- ing 100 head of horses out of 103. They were close to a wire fence and were killed by the lightning. The stock on the open range were killed by being covered by snow, which chilled them i to death.

Chicago, May 13—Employers dur- ing the day began the execution of a new policy as to the teamsters’ strike, men in various manufacturing indus- tries being laid off because of the lack of husiness brought about by the strike. At the Employers’ association office it was sald the number of men laid off because of dullness in trade and consequent lack of demand for certain manufactured goods would run into the thousands and would con- tinue unless normal business condi- tions returned soon. Hunareds of wagons were sent out during the day by strikebound houses, advertisements for teamsters filled the newspapers and on every side was evidence of the aggressiveness of the employers. .The department stores particularly caused large advertise- ments to appear simultaneously in the newspapers announcing that men are wanted to “fill permanent positicns” as teamsters and drivers. Protection ‘was promised to prospective drivers and the character of men the depart- ment stores iesire to recruit was in- dicated by the fact that references are rejuired from applicants. Most of the advertisements state that “‘un- ion or nonunion” men will be ac- cepted. g Will Blacklist Strikers. i It was stated authoritatively during the day that early next week the Em- ployers’ association would make up a “blacklist” of all feamsters who have gone out on strike. These men, 4,300 in all, will be notified that they can come back to work any time during the week, but that if they have not returned hy the end of next week they will never be reinstated under any circumstances. The blacklist pro- gramme is said to be more complete and definite than that which was fol- lowed during the A. R. U. strike. Kinsley’s restaurant, scene of banquet, where presidents and royalty have dined, has been turned into a hotel where nonunion white and colored teamsters are housed and fed. The large dining- room has heen turned into a messroom. and the upper rooms, designed for oc- cupation Dby private dining parties, | now contain cots upon which the non- unionists sleep. Charles Johnson, a colored man em- rloyed by the Standard Oil company, ‘was mistaken for a strike breaker by a mob at Wentworth avenue and Twenty-fourth street and was so seri- ously injured that he may die. After being kuocked down Johnson was kicked and one of his eyes was al- most gouged out. famed as the Negotiations Toward Peace.
