i
New York, April U.—The hearing in the
case of lbert T. Patrick, charged with
the murder of the aged millionaire, Wil
liam Marsh Rice, closed this afternoon,
and Justice Jerome announced that he
•reserved his decision, but hoped to make
it known by next Monday. It rests with
Justice Jerome whether or not Patrick
will be held for the grand jury. Mean
while Patrick will stay in the Tombs.
In summing up for the prisoner, his
counsel, Mr. Moore, presented several
reasons why he thought Patrick should b«
freed. The last one was this: "Admitting,
if you will, that Patriok is guilty of for
gery, corroboration of that has no bear
ing on the charge of murder. We con
tend that there is no evidence that Rice
was murdered."
"That may be." said Justice Jeroir.e,
"but under the comn:on law, on the
statement of Jones alone I should have
to hold the defendant for the grand jury.
Whether the statutes change this, in re
gard to holding a defendant for the grand
Jury is the question. That Is a mere ques
tion of law and can easily be settled."
Mr. Moore, acting for David L. Short
and Morris Meyers, waived • examination
Of the charge of forgery against them. a*
he also did concerning the '.-barge of for
gery against Patrick. The latter was re
manded to the Tombs without ba!l on the
murder charge, but no bail was fixed for
him In the forgery matter, while Short
and Meyers were held in bonds of JIO.OOC
each.
The first witness to-da.v was William J.
Kinsley, an expert on handwriting. The
witness was handed several checks paid
by Swenson & Co. and signed William M.
Rice, and then was handed the IyOO will
and the checks for S2S.CCO and $65.X)O.
jdrawn on Swenson & Co. in favor of
(Patrick. Mr. Kinsley said that in his opin
ion the signatures on the will and 'on the
!$25,000 and $60.C00 checks were not written
lj>y the person who had signed the checks
presented by the prosecution as hearing
the genuine signature of William M. Rice.
Assirfant District Attorney Osborne
then handed the witness the assignment
on the Fifth Avenue Trust Company, and
what Is known as the "cremation letter."
and Mr. Kinsley said. "I have already
compared the signatures on these papers
with the admitted signatures of the late
Mr. Rice, and I say that in my opinion
they were not written by the same per
son."
Defendant's counsel, Mr. Moore, then
asked the witness if he had any personal
knowledge of the handwriting of Mr. Rice
other than that certain signatures were
shown him as being in Mr. Rice's hand
writing, and the expert replied that he
haJ not.
David N. Carvalho. another handwrit
ing expert, was called. He corroborated
Kinsley's testimony.
Professor Rudolph Witthaus. an expert
In chemical analysis, testified that he had
made an examination of the internal or
gans of W. M. Rice. In the stomach he
found traces of mercury; In the intestines
he found about half a grain of mercury;
In the kidneys about one-ninth of a grain
of mercury, and in the liver an unweigh
jable quantity of mercury. There was not
(Sufficient mercury to cause death, but
the presence of It in the organs Indicated
;that a larger quantity had been taken
by the deceased, but just how much he
could not determine. Witness said he had
iseen the brain and lungs, but was unable
Ito tell of their condition, as he Is not
sufficiently conversant with these organs
to give an expert opinion. On cross-exam-
Jnatlon the expert said the traces of mer
cury would remain in the system several
months after the drug had been introduc
ed Into the body. He could net say how
long the fumes of chloroform would re- i
main about a person to whom the drug j
was administered by inhalation.
PAROCHIAL SCHOOL SYSTEM.
!!■ I.lfe Threatened by Modern Edn
rational legislation.
Chicago, April 11. —Delegates to the
third annual convention of Catholic
Colleges devoted their attention to-day
to the consideration of technical sub
jects. Speakers at the afternoon ses
sion declared that modern educational
legislation threatened the life of the
parochial school system. All this class
of legislative action, they said, seriously
discriminated against the church
schools and evevy other system of edu
cation which seeks to combine religious:
training with learning. It was argued'
that under existing conditions Catholics
were compelled to pay taxes for the'
support of public ■schools which their
children do not attend. It was insist
ed that the State should recognize
Catholic schools on the same basis with
other educational institutions to which
financial assistance is given. These
expressions of opinion were brought
forth by a paper on "Educational Leg
islation in the United t-'tates," read by
the Rev. James P. F#gan, S. J., of
Georgetown University, and were lib
erally applauded by the delegates. The
speaker reviewed the different educa
tional bills adopted in several States
and declared that they were all inimi
cal to the Catholic Church's school sys
tem.
Mgr. Comity said: "We are here by
sufferance, but we are here as Ameri
can citizens demanding our rights. We
tire not asking for favor; all we want
Is Jyatice. We want recognition as citi
zens and tax-payers in school affairs,
i We belelve that no true education is
(possible without religious instruction,
and we have a right to insist upon our
demands. There is no doubt that near
ly all the educational laws enacted by
the States are aimed at the Catholic
pchool system. It is our duty both to
ourselves and our people to protest and
pontinue protesting until our objections
(are heeded."
Father Dowling, of the Omaha Uni
versity, expressed the fear that Catho
lics had in the past not kept in close
touch with the improved methods ad
vocated by non-sectarian institutions.
They failed to present their arguments
to the mass of the people by means of
the newspaper, magazine and other
publications,
j The Rev. William L. O'Hara, A. M.,
presented a preliminary report of the
ppecial committee appointed a year ago
to formulate a system of uniform, en
trance requirements for the colleges.
fThe convention will conclude its ses
sions to-morrow.

Washington, April 11.—Thousands ot
cases of bubonic plague in all parts of
the world since November Ist last have
been reported to the Marine Hospital
Service. At Rio Janeiro February Ist !
to 20th there occurred five new cases i
and three deaths. At Hong-Kong three
cases, all fatal, occurred during this i
week ended February 18th.
The plague is steadily increasing in
Cape Colony, according to reports re- *
ceived both in London and Paris. The
official report from Cape Colony for the
week ended March 2d shows twenty
four new cases, two deaths and four
3uspects. For the following week fifty
;asos, eighteen deaths and eleven sus- ;
pects. Several Europeans have been
Ittacked and a number of natives have
been found dead from the disease. The
rats are reported to be "trekking" from
Cape Town in great numbers, and at
Simontown the rats are reported to be
lying from plague.
At Mauritius during the two weeks
?nded March Sth there were in the lsl
md eighteen fresh cases of plague and
:wenty-three deaths.
On March 14th two fresh plague cases
ire reported to have occurred In Perth,
West Australia.
The Marine Hospital surgeon In
charge at London has reported that
the rumor of suspected plague at
Southampton, published in the Parts
papers, probably is unfounded, but ex
tra precautions are being exercised at
that port in view of the large number
3f troops returning from South Africa.
The plague at Karakgha. Russia, Is
»tated in the official report from Paris |
to be- on the decrease, the same report
saying that thirteen deaths from '
cholera occurred at Singapore, Straits :
Settlements, during the last week of
January.
A report published in a Berlin paper
March 11th and forwarded here says
the plague at Cape Town Is now at
tacking the well-to-do people.
Marine Hospital Surgeon Green, at j
Berlin, has just reported that in the
Kirgisen reservation. Korakuk, Russia, !
thirteen persons have failen victims to
plague, and in the Presidency of Bom- j
bay, British East India, during the j
week ended February Sth, there oc
curred 1770 plague cases and 1293 j
Seaths, an increase of 519 cases and 314 |
3eaths over the previous week. In i
Bombay city last week there were 1056 ,
;ases of plague, an increase of 309, aud
1i'.59 deaths ascribed to plague.
Up to March 2d fifty plague cases i
had occurred in Cape Town, of which '
twelve terminated fatally. In Argen- I
tina five plague patients were in the
Isolation hospital at San Nicolas on '
February 7th, and plague was suspected
In the cities of Belleville and Marios
luarez, of Cordoba province.
Official notice has been received that
the Government of the Danish West
Indies had raised the quarantine i
against Port Said and Smyrna and had
Seclared the port of Brisbane, Queens
land. free from plague.
Pekin, April 11.—Robert M. McWade,
United States consul at Canton, China,
reports that 10,000 deaths from the
plague have occurred there during the
past six weeks and that there are thir
teen cases of smallpox on board the
United States monitor Monterey. Only
one death has resulted on the Monterey
and the other cases of smallpox are
progressing favorably.
A BLOW AT A >1 KI!I«'AX BEEF.
Tlie BritKh Government Txclnden all
Beef, Except Home Bred from lh«
British Army Contracts.
Washington, April 11.—The Depart
ment of Agriculture has received a dis
patch from a prominent packing com
pany of Chicago, announcing that they
have just been advised that the Eng
lish Government has excluded all beef,
except home bred, from the British
army contracts. This, it is stated, is to
be effective June Ist next.
The Chicago concern has asked the
Agricultural Department for any as
sistance it can render. It has pointed
out that the action of the British Gov
ernment is a severe blow to American
heef and cattle exporters and producers
and means not alone the loss in gov
ernment trade, but it is feared it will
serve materially toward inciting a
prejudice on the part of the people of
Great Britain against the beef and cat-,
tie of this country. No official informa.
tlon of this reported contemplated
move has reached the department, ac
cording to statements o. officials this
afternoon. Steps have been taken, how
ever, looking to acquiring whatever in
formation it is possible to get.
To demonstrate the importance of the
move now said to be contemplated, it
is pointed out that the value of our ex
ports of live animals to Great Britain
amounts to $40,000,000, while the total of
animal products exported from the
United States to Great Britain is
stated to be, in round numbers, $200,-
000,000. It is pointed' out here that this
proposed embargo may really be a Be
quel, in greater or less degree, to the
proceedings instituted at New Orleans
against shipments of horses and mules j
from that for use in the South
African campaign.
While this is, of course, merely con
jectural, it is very strongly hinted that
the New Orleans incident probably is
the direct inspiration for the step. It
Is pointed out that if the English real
ly decide to take the action reported in
the advices just received, the British ,
might turn to Australia for their |
meats. It is claimed, however, that 1
meats cannot be gotten there in as
good quality or as cheap as in the
United States.
NO SURRENDER.
London, April 11. —The British War
Office has issued the following special
order regarding surrenders in the field:
"Any officer or soldier, who, when in
the presence of the enemy, displays a
white flag or other token of surrender,
will be tried by general court-martial."

Summerville, Ga., April 9. —
(Special.)—J. J. Arlington and
Miss Minnie Clegliorn, were
found dead 011 one of the main
streets of the town this after-1
noon about 4 :30 o'clock. She!
was shot three or four times
through the breast and lived i
only a few minutes. He was |
shot five times through the
breast and died immediately.
He had been desperately in
love with her for some time and
they met on the street and had
been ta king for some time, and
it is supposed she had refused
to marry him, and he thereupon
emptied one pistol at her, three
or four shots taking effect, and
then emptied the other one in
himself, all five shots taking
effect. Two pistols were found
near tliam, Nos. 32 and 38
Smith & Wesson brand.
She said to the first one who
came to her:
"Oh, why did he do it?"
He was (lead before any one
reached them. They were four
or five feet apart 011 the ground.
ArriDgton was a prominent
young druggist of this place,
and Miss Cleghorn was the
daughter of Captain J. S. Cleg
horn, who is one of the most
prominent business men in this
part of the country. Miss Cleg
horn had just returned from a
trip to Florida and it was the
first time she and Arlington
had been together since her j
return.
BROKEN ENGAGEMENT THE
CAUSE.
The double tragedy is one of'
the most appalling in the histc-,
ry of this section. The young
couple had been walking togetli-;
er and when near the law office ,
of John I). Taylor the shooting i
began. Just how the tragedy!
was brought about and what j
passed between them will never j
be known.
The couple had been sweet-i
hearts for years and it is said I
that both were deeply in love)
with each other. Miss Cleg-1
horn's parent's objected strong
ly, it is said, to their daughter
marrying Mr. Amngton. Miss
Cleghorn had finally broken
tlie engagement on account of
her parents' objections and it is
presumed that the young man
brooded over the matter until
his mind became unhinged.
Miss Cleghorn was strikingly
beautiful and was a social favor
ite in Rome, Chattanooga,
Atlanta and wherever she vis
ited. She was of the brunette
type, with creamy complexion,
dark eyes and Junolike form.
She was about twenty years of
age.—Atlanta Constitution.

Traditions Overthrown.
Kentucky has received a ter
rific shock. Her most typical
traditions have been rudely
overthrown. Not only was
proud Lexington, the queen of
the blue grass, forced to endure
the bluest of blue Sundays, but
the poolrooms were ordered to
be permanently closed. The
mandate was issued by Mayor
Duncan, but both the saloon
keepers and the poolroom sell
ers brazenly disregarded it until
the mayor left town. Mayor
Pro Tem Lowry was made of
sterner stuff than the man up
higher. On Saturday Mr.
Lowry summoned the proprie
tors of the two local poolrooms
and the owners of the buildings
in which they were operated
before him. He informed the
men that if they attempted to
run a poolroom while he was
acting mayor of the city he
would raid the place, arrest the
employes and speculators and
smash all the paraphernalia
and arrest the owners of the
buildings for suffering gaming.
With the fear of his hatchet,
and what was worse, the fear
of a pick or shovel, before their
eyes, enduced them to conform
to the law. It was the bluest
Sunday in the history of Lex
ington, and one can imagine
how tlie loiterers around the
Phoenix hotel paced the tiling
sadly meditating, "So sad, so
strange! the days that are 110
more."
When we hear that betting
on horse races has been out
lawed in the heart of the blue
grass region and that a Ken
tucky gentleman has to consult
the constable and the calendar
as to whether he may take a
drink or not, it does begin to
seem that the times are out of
joint and that the catactysm is
just around the corner.—Augus

Stay in North Carolina.
In a recent address to the
students of the University,
President Venable said : "Stay
in North Carolina. It is going
to be one of the foremost States
in the South, and the young
man who leaves it will be sorry
for it."
That's the sort of talk that
the leaders and educators of the
State ought to give to the young
men looking to them for advice.
North Carolina has lost more in
the going away of its young
men than in any other way.
Many of our best young men
have in times past felt that to
win success they must go away.
"Emigration has been our
bane." The tide has turned.
Our young men find the largest
opportunities for success and
development in their homes and
in daily associations with the
friends of their youth.
