by her weeping father and later by a
roaring, cheering crowd, Naa Pat

trict Attorney Jerome by Recorder
Guff to-day and wa-j allo wed to walk
out of the Tombs, where she has re
mained for eleven mouths, not under
the heavy bail that her counsel were
prepared to furniah, but on her own
recognition. This was oa suggestion
of Mr. Jerome, who coaiessed he de
spaired of securing a conviction, and
that he has presented to the j uries in
the two trials all the facts that he
was able to gather.
It was Nan's day of triumph. She

nodded to her counsel, ali of whom
were present.
In making his mot on for the vir
tual discharge of the chorus girl, Dis
trict Attorrey Jerome said:
"The defendant has been on trial
twice, and at each trial the jury has
disagreed. All the evidence that I
have been able to gather has been
submitted. I do not think another
trial would result in anything but
another disagreement, I therefore
ask that she be discharged on her
own recognizance."
Miss Patterson, the center of at
traction, made her way to the priv
ate entrance to the court room.
At the door stood her father. He

The telegraph operator at Chicka

the telephone with Hobart, Oklaho
ma, near Snyder and that all the

down, but relief trains are being sent
from several directions' to Snyder.
Snyder is a town of 1,000 people in

1 a dispatch from Endid, O. T , advis
ing that a tornado had struck Snyder
Okl i., wrecking the town anl kill
ing 500 people, among whom was
the station agent of the 'Frisco at
that town. The request came also
for assistance.
On the strength of the report the
dispatcher ordered a relief train with
physicians to be seat fiom Chickas

"Want an Eight Hour Day.

COTTON MANUFACTURERS.
The cotton manufacturers of this
country met this week in Knox ville,
and the addresses covered nearly
evory important featue of the gian t
industry.The American Cotton Manu
facturers' association represents the
spindles of this country, about one
fitth of the whole numbar in the
world. The association had a modest
soutliern beginning in 1897, but its
membership now covers mills in
all parts of the country.
The chief object of the association
consists in promoting exports of cot
ton goods, and this is why the asso
ciation remains largely southern, for
the south i3 the chief exporter of
coarse cottons, ana our exports are
almost, wholly confined to coarse
goods. Our exports of cotton goods
in 1903 aggregated $32,000,000, and
a soon as the war in the Far East
l ended it is hoped that our exports
if cotton goods can be doubled, and
t haps even more than that aggre
gate can be sold abroad.
The association boldly advocates
the spinning of all Anaeric tn cotton
in jj American milts. VViiuvo at
present twenty-four millio ispit dus.
An audition ot eigiity million sp ti
dies would enable us to spin the entire
American crop, instead of permit
ting Great Britain to spin fifty-five
tier cent, of the world's cotton goods.
In round numbers we need four mills
where we hive one. ?
