FREE iNEXT YEAR MRS. MAYBRICK TO BE LIBER ATED IN 1904. IS HI CO SENSE A PARDON Woman's Release in Accordance With Established English Practice for Good Conduct Life Prisoners Can Always Fscape with Fifteen Years. IjONDON. Mrs. Florence Maybrick. the American- woman who was con victed at Liverpool in 1&89 on the charge of poisoning her husband, James Maybrick, by arsenic, and whose sentence of death was commutted to penal servitude for life, will be re leased in 1904. The announcement comes from the homo office, which authorizes her Washington lawyers to use the fact of her release next year as a reason for securing the postponement of the trial of the lawsuits bearing on the prison er's interest in land in Kentucky, Virginia and West Viglnia. Mrs. Maybrick's pending release is in no sense a pardon, being Btrlctly in conformity with English practice, whereby a good conduct prisoner is released after serving a stipulated part of his sentence. In the case of life prisoners this period is placed at fif teen years and Mrs. Maybrick will next year have been in jail for that time. Those who are in a position to know say that Home Secretary Akers-Doug-las has shown great courtesy in con nection with the suits now pending in America. Mrs. Maybrick, who was Miss Flor ence Elizabeth Chandler and a mem ber of a well known and prosperous southern family, was married July 27, 1881. in St. James' church. Picadilly, to James Maybrick of Liverpool. She was then 18 years old. vivacious and beautiful, and also a favorite. Her husband was over 40 years old. In the spring of lSX'J Mr. Maybrick became ill and in a few days he died. His brothers investigated his death and charged Mrs. Maybrick' with the mur der of her husband. A long trial fol lowed and a number of doctors swore Mr. Maybrick died of arsenical poison ing. The defense proved that for twenty years Mr. Maybrick had been a con firmed arsenic eater and that he daily took doses that would have killed a dozen ordinary men. Mrs. Maybrick was eventually sentenced to death by the Judge, Sir Fitzjanies Stephens, who spoke for two days in charging the jury, 2nd who said it was impossible for them to find her not guilty in the face of the medical evidence. He died some time later in a madhouse. From the time of Mrs. Maybrick's conviction, her mother, the Baroness von Roques, has been unremitting in her attempts to obtain the prisoner's release, in which she has been aided by influential friends on both sides of the Atlantic. In 1900, after the death of Lord Russell of Killoween, chief justice of England, a letter written to Mrs. Maybrick in 1895, was discovered. It showed that the eminent lawyer was convinced that she ought never to have been convicted, and it has been gen erally understood that all the recent American ambassadors to the court of St. James have done everything pos sible to obtain Mrs. Maybrick's pardon. BIGGEST MAN IN CHICAGO. Could Only Enter Cars Having Double Sliding Doors. CHICAGO. 111. James H. Mahlet, the biggest man in Chicago, if not in the United States, is dead.

Ths Governor of the State Issues a Proclamation. Governor .Mickey has Issued the following Arbor day proclamation: The recurring spring season is again at hand, bringing with it that holiday which is distinctively of Nebraska origin and which has here received its mor.f complete recognition. The observance of nearly all public festivals is actuated by motives of sentiment, but Arbor day is commem orated because of the practical value and ut'lity of the acts which emanate from it. Through its beneficent infiu ence Nebraska's treeless plains have been dotted over with beautiful groves, affording grateful shade dur ing the heat of rummer, protection from the blasts of winter, fuel for home consumption and which have also had a marked effect in making the climatic conditions more favora ble for agricultural pursuits. The denuding of the natural forests for lumbering purposes has occasioned physical disturbances, a study of the effects of which are more or less ag itating the scientific world, but it is certain that any resultant injury can be neutralized by the systematic con servation of remaining forests and the planting of trees in harmony with that progressive spirit of the times which takes into consideration the needs of Hie future as well as of the present. By virtue of the authority vested in me by law. I do hereby proclaim and designate Wednesday, April 22. 1903. as Arbor day, and I earnestly urge every citizen of the state,, and espe cially the pupils of public and private schools, to observe the day by the general planting of trees and the beau tifying of lawns and premises. The occasion, to obserce the day by the because of the death since last Arbor day of Hon. J. Sterling Morton, the originator of the day and one of Ne braska's most honored citizens. I suggest that an extra tree be planted In memory of him who did so much for the state and whose practical ideas concerning forestry are proving of especial value. DETTREY SAYS IT IS GOOD. Points to a Bright Future for the Mine Workers. HAZELTON. Pa. President William Pettrey of district No. 7, United Mine Workers of America, made the follow ing statement regarding the award of the strike commission: "The award of the commission as based on the demands of the United Mine Workers is very good. The rec ommendation for settling the troubles will, in my opinion, in the near future, bring an additional increase of wages to the class of workmen who are en titled to better financial conditions. Judging it as a whole I think the re port of the commission points to a bright future for the United Mine Workers." Storing Anthracite East. PHILADELPHIA, Pa. A decrease in the hard coal traffic is enabling the Reading company to fill the bins at Landlngville, Pa., and other storage yards.

VIOLATION OFJIIERHAII LAW This is the Accusation Against Them The Cases Dismissed in State Court for Lack of Jurisdiction, but that Does Not Settle Matter. CHICAGO. Ten Indiana coal com panies and ten individual operators were restrained by Judge Kohisaat in the I'nited States circuit court Tuesday from continuing their combination for the regulation of coal prices and output. The defendants were given until April 6 to show cause why the order should not be made permanent. The corporations and individuals en joined are the same as were recently tried in the state court on the charge of raising the price of coal and re stricting the output in Illinois, thus causing the coal famine in Chicago last winter. Judge Chetlain dismissed the case on the ground that the offense committed was against the federaal law and not the statutes of Illinois. The defend ants are: The Crescent Coal & Mining company, Bruilette Creek Coal com pany, Wabash Valley Coal company, Oak Hill Coal & Mining company, Coal Bluff Mining company. Park County Coal company, Glen Oak Coal & Min ing company, Nevins Coal company, Indiana Fuel company, McClellan, Sons & Co., corporation Jane Shirkie, Wal ter S. Bogle, Hugh Shirkie, Max Eich berg, J. J. Higgins, J. Smith Talley, Joseph Martin, Edward Shirkie, H. R. McClellan and John Shirkie. The injunction granted will stand until further orders of the court. It recites that the action of the court is taken upon the application of United States District Attorney Behea and upon affidavits of Assistant State's Attorney Albert C. Barnes, and orders that the defendants are "especially re strained and enjoined from in any manner complying with or executing the terms of a certain contract made and entered into between you during the month of March. 1992, which by its terms went into effect April J, 1902, or any similar contract." They are restrained from entering into any combination among them selves to ship the bituminous coal mined and to be mined on their prop erty in Indiana to the Crescent Coal and Mining company at Chicago, for uniform sale by that company to con sumers in carload lots, on their sev eral accounts, at prices arbitrarily fixed by them or their representatives, in such a manner as to destroy competi tion between themselves as to the sale of such coal as is o- may be the sub ject of commerce among the several states and in violation of the Sherman act. No opposition was ofTered in court ;o the entering of the order. When the notice was first served upon the de fendants some days ago the appear ance of each was entered with the ex ception of the Wabash Coal company, which was represented in court by its attorney.

Consols at a Low Point. LONDON Consols touched 90 on Tuesday, the lowest point on record since the Franco-Prussian war.

The latter suggest that the interest be fixed at 2 per cent, and that the price of issue be 95. Greek Play in New York.
