[Patrick Prefers Death

Rich Dairyman.
New York, Sov. 27.—Lawyer Albert
h, Patrick will refuse to receive the
lift of his life from the hands of Gov
nor Higgins. This was stated post
Ively today by Clark Bell, the lawyer
| who laid before the governor a* pett-
tlgned by more than 2,090 physl-
Iclans who asked that Patrick be saved
from the electHc chair.
A situation absolutely unique
|criminal history la created by the
litubborn stand taken by the alleged
I ilayer of William M. Rice, the decrepit
I Texas millionaire, whose valet, Jones,
(■ays he killed by administering chloro.
■ form to him at Patrick's dictation.
I Patrick will accept no commutation
I ot sentence from the governor, even If
lit be offered," said Mr. Bell, with' era-
[pbnsls. today. “He demands a full vln-
Idlearion or death. T{iis Is not an at-
| iltuile of bravado on his part. He Is
I Itnoeent and' he would rather be mar-
I tyred thun live opt his life In a prison
in expiation of a crime which he did
Dot commit."
Patrick has twice written to the gov-
tmur, entreating him to disregard all
| pleas for clemency, unless they came
(ruin him personally.
Lawyers expressed the opinion that
I Patrick could In no manner refuse to
I swept gubernatorial clemency. If no
I death warrant was signed for his exe-
[ ration, no one would carry out the
I mandate of the court which convicted
[ bint, and the Judgment of which, the
I lawyer avers, he prefers above life Im-
I prlaonmtnt.
| HIGGINS HAS NOT ACTED
IN THE CASE OF PATRICK.
Albany, N. Y, Nov. 27.—Governor
, llxcins said today that while he might
1 Interfere" to' haYe the life of Albert T.
•Patrick, the convicted murderer of
| William Me Rice, he had not as yet
tome to any decision In the matter,
l "I have no appointment with any of
Patrick’s attorneys.” said the governor,
"nor have I any word that Patrick’s
application to have hie case reviewed
by the United States supreme court
lias been withdrawn. I could not act
In any evebt until this appllcalton had
I been withdrawn."
It Is said that the lawyer will not
top his efforts at a commutation of
I nentcnce, but will go on In his efforts
l" secure a nejv trial.
iMd up
Denver, Colo., Nov. 27.—As a result
of an automobile accident in tbe Heart
of the bitumens district of the city,
Howard Q'Haver, a rich Retired dairy
man, Is dead, and Miss Birdie Appel,
a young society woman of Denver, has
been arrested on the charge of man
slaughter.
O’Haver was crossing Sixteenth
street at Croix and the automobile
swerved to avoid a atreet car. The
machine struck O’Haver before he was
aware that It had turned from Its
course. He was hurled backward to
the pavement, Ills ifcad striking heav
ily.
A large crowd gathered, and It was
suggested to Miss Ai>pel that she take
the man In her automobile to a hos
pital. Bystanders declare she said she
could not do that, aa she would get
blood on her dress.
Her friends say she was hysterical at
the time and was probably not ac
countable for remarks.
O’Haver was taken to the county
hospital In a police ambulance and died
later In the evening. Aliks Appel was
reloased on 16,000 ball furnished by her
father, J. S. Appel, proprietor of a
leading dry goods store.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
IS HARD WORKED MAN
Begins Special Mes
sage to Congress on
Panama Canal.
Washington, Nov. 27.—President
Roosevelt reached his office at 2:40
o'clock this morning and at once
plunged Into the stack of correspond
ence that was piled upon his desk.
Secretary Loeb Joined him shortly
with more letters and reports, and,
from that time until 11 o'clock, when
the cabinet members arrived, the head
of the administration and his right
hand man were about as busy ac it is
possible for hard working men to be.
Message on the Canal.
One of the moat Important matters
that Is just now receiving the presi
dent's attention Us his special message
on the Panama canal, which will go to
congress very soon after the legislative
branch ot the government meets. It is
probable that this document will reach
congress about December 8 or 9.
The president’s regular annual mes
sage, which la now In type and ready
for submission to congress, will not bs
read on the floors ot the houses until
Tuesday, December 4. It was formerly
the custom for the president to send
his message to congress on the flret
4}ay, but of late years the executives
nave preferred to wait until the second
day, In order to allow members and
senators to effect their organisation
and awear In new members, thus clear
ing the decks, so that they can give
their undivided attention to the Impor
tant subjects discussed by the presi
dent.
To Make Suggestions.
President Roosevelt's special mes
sage to congress upon, the Panama
canal bill. It la understood, will be a
comprehensive document and will give
a graphic picture of. conditions on the
strip as the bullder-lh-chlef of the
great ditch found them on his v|slt. He
will make a number of suggestions for
the betterment of the working organ
isation, embodying the plans already
announced, and giving expression to
Ideas not made public. That the presi
dent’s suggestions will be enacted Into
law, very early In the coming congres
sional session, is a foregone conclu
sion.
Colonel Charles S. Bromwell, super
intendent of public buildings and
grounds, was the first caller at the
white house today to shake the presi
dent’s hand.

the defendant company In Atlanta the
following telegram: “Mrs. John hi.

at Woodlawn until 12 o’clock that night.
No one met her at the' train. Peti
tioner says she is of a highly nervous

nerved when no one wet her at the

man In the elation she would have had

ter's home until 4 o’clock the nex
morning.

Columbds, GOo Nov. 27.—T. K. Gold
en, chairman; J. C. Cook, secretary
and M. O. Pearce, members of,tbe
water commission, have resigned. No
cauee for this action Is given out. It la
supposed the extreme opposition ot the
people to the,rlver as a source of sup
ply Is the principal reason for this
action. Only two members are left on
tbe board, Rhodes, Browne and Mayor
L. H. Chappell, who Is an ex-officio
member.
The resignations have created a sen
sation.
OFFICER DIFFER
Ah the result of rumors and a publi
cation to tbe effect that differences
hare arisen between Mies Sanderson,
police matron, and Probation Officer
Glqer, the latter Is preparing a written
report 'to be submitted to Chief Jen
nlngs explaining his side of the report
ed controversy.
When asked for a statement Tues
day morning the probation officer said
he had nothing to say at present for
publication.
Mias Sanderson, who la said to have
been criticising certain acta of Officer
Oloer, states that her chief cauee of
complaint Is an apparent effort to usurp
some of her authority. Bhe says that
recently the probation officer has sent
children to the Home for the Friend
less In charge of police call officers,
when they should hare been taken
there by lieraelf.
Miss Banderaon took up this matter
with Chief Jennings several days ago,
but the chief Informed her this was en
tirely within the Jurisdiction of Officer
Gloer. Officers about tbe police sta
tion say they are satisfied Officer Gloer
has not exceeded hie authority and has
done nothing but his ijuty.
