Prove Guilt of Fair Defendant,
NEW YORK, Nov. 16.—After morn
than five months in the Tombs
. awaiting trial on a charge of m
the case of Nan Patterson, the alleged
slayer of Caesar Young, was brought
to trial in the criminal branch of the
supreme court today. Delay, first from
one cause and then from another, has
been a-prominent feature in the case
ever since Miss Patterson was taken
Into custody after the tragic death
Young In a cab in which he and /the
young woman were driving to the pier
where Youn& was to take a steamer for
Europe. Even in its last stages, after
the date for trial had been fixed, a mi
nor case which claimed the attention
of the court dragged slowly along and
forced another delay.
Court Room Crowded.
In anticipation of the beginning of
the trial, the court room was crowded
with spectators when Justice Vernon
JL Davis took his seat on the bench
today. There was a slight delay be
fore it was announced that everything
for the opening of the trial wi
readiness. Miss Patterson, dressed in
black, was brought in by prison at
tendants and took a sent beside her
counsel, Abraham Levy and Daniel
O’Reilly. Her father, J. Randolph Pat
terson, of Washington, had a seat with
In the bar enclosure. The work of se
lectlng a Jury from a special panel of
100 talesmen was begun at once.
The examination of each talesman
was conducted with extreme thorough
ness and one man, who apparently had
passed all the requirements, was turn
ed away by the defense when he said,
In answer to a question, that he had
friendly feelings toward District At
torney Jerome.
Elwood Hendricks, a broker, was the
llrst man to answel nil the questio

ond the defense.
Evidence Circumstantial.
The prosecution will depend entirely
upon circumstantial evidence In build
lng up the case against the defend;
according to a statement made by As
sistant DostrlcL Attorney Rand during
the examination of talesman. Richard
S. White, a lumber dealer, had declar
ed himself opposed to finding a verdict
In a capital case on circumstantial ev
idence alone and referred to the possi
bility of eye witnesses to the shooting
testifying before the Jury. “So far as
. I know, said Mr. Rand, “the prosecu
tion does not Intend to call any eye
witnesses to the shooting of Caesar
Young.”
Four Jurors had been accepted when
adjournment was taken for the day.

CITE FOO, Nov. 16.—The Russians
have blown up the torpedo boat de
stroyer Rastoropny.
The Russians, with the exception of
one man, left the destroyer during the
afternoon. This last man lit fuses and
blew up the vessel.
There were three dull explosions
which were scarcely discernible one
hundred yards from tho place where
they occurred.
Almost simultaneously the Rastorop
ny sunk and settled on the bottom.
A slngel spar marks her grave.
It is Impossible tonight to secure an
planatlon of the action of the Rus
sians, but It is believed that they were
determined not to allow a repetition of
the Rycshitelni incident. Prior to tho
destruction of the destroyer the Tao
Tal had officially notified the Japanese
consul that her disarmament had been
completed, tho breech blocks and am
munition having been removed and her
machinery disabled.

CHE FOO, Nov. 16.—Noon.—It is ru
mored that the Russian torpedo boat
destroyer Rastoropny brought a dis
patch from Gen. Stoessel asking the
St. Petersburg authorities for instruc
tions ns to whether he would continue
to hold out, awaiting relief, or make
immediate arrangements with the Jap
anese for surrender upon the most ad
vantageous terms possible. This ru
mor cannot be confirmed.

LONDON, Nov. 16.—The state ban

honor of King Charles and Queen Ame

the previous magnificent functions at
which European rulers have been the
guests of Great Britain's reigning
monarchs In the historic St. George’s
hall. The guests, numbering 166, in
cluded members of the royal family,
foreign representatives at the court of
St. James, cabinet ministers, leaders
of the opposition, military and naval
officials and others prominent In tho
highest circles of Great Britain. Tho
guests assembled in the White draw
ings room where they were arranged
In order of precedence by officers of
state, the ladles on one side and the
the gentlemen on the other. As the
clock In the great tower of the castle
struck nine King Edward and Queen
Alexandra entered together from their
apartments and almost simultaneously
the opposite doors rolled open for
King Charles and Queen Amelle. The
royal couples met at the center of the
room, and King Edward gave his arm
to Queen Amelle and King Charles
gave his arm to Queen Alexandra and
their majesties, preceded by officers of
state, led the way to the dining hall,
built on the site of the feasting pla<
of the norman kings. As their ma
jesties passed between the rows of
guests the latter bowed and followed,
pairing oft in order.
It was a wonderful scene. At either
end of the hall great masses of cele

hundreds of electric lights and th*
guests formed an avenue of the nr

So Says Dr. Dabney of a Democracy
Spending Millions for implements of
War.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 16.—Dr. Chas.
W. Dabney, was today Inaugurated
president of the University of Cincin
nati. Mr. Dabney, In hla Inaugural ad
dress, discussed "Democracy and tho
school." He said In part:
“Let us cast out of our minds all
half hearted arguments for the free
education of all the people. It Is true
that It pays a community to educate
all Ita youth, but the public school
la not a charity Institution. School
houses and school masters aro
cheaper than Jails and soldiers; hut
we do not found the public school on
any such ground as this. Buch argu
ments for free schools are little less
than an Insult to a free people. The
true democracy Is something nobler
than a policeman guarding and pro
tecting our property and our rights.
The democracy established itself pub
lic schools to train new citizens and to
fit them for self government and when
it shall have clone ita duty in this res
pect, there will be no need of police
men and soldiers.
"A democracy spending hundreds of
millions for warships and so forth for
armies, and navies, is enough to give
devils Joy. If we spent one-fourth of
this treasure in schools and missions,
the whole world would soon be ours In
bonds of love, and there would be
need of these engines of death and
destruction.
“Men have, indeed, a right to govern
themselves but without education
have not the capacity. Suffrage Is not
a natural right, hut a privilege assign
ed to those who qualify themselves for
its proper exercise In ac< ordance with
!f l-^rd fixed by the slate.
Democracy means seif government;
* ' >.-*n r i i. •. iRates univer
sal education; and universal educa
tion can only be accomplished by free
j public schools under the control of all
the people,"
, The speaker concluded with a refer-,
[ mce to Japan as “an example of what
icatfon can do a people."
CHE FOO. Nov. 16 -(Untimed.)-
Two Japanese torpedo boat destroyers

CHE FOO. Nov. 16. 11:30 p. m.—The
correspondent of the Associated Press

the vessel should he blown up. Suffi
cient powder for this purpose was se
creted before the destroyor left Port

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.—The semi
annual meeting of the board of direc
tors of the Catholic University of
America convened at the university to
day nnd considered matters of Impor
tance connected with tho future of tho

renunciation of the Catholic creed by
the Marquise Monstlers, formerly
Miss Mary Gwendolyn Caldwell, whose
generosity founded the university, and
the bankruptcy case of Thomas K.
Waggaman, treasurer of too univer
sity, whose failure may seriously em
barrass the hoard In providing finan
ces for Immediate use.
At today's session the Waggaman
case was the principal matter consid
ered but It 1m not decided to give n
statement to the public nt this time.
The statement Issued giving an in

of the business of the board. To an

“It Is not understood by us*,* he said,

do not mean to Imply that she was
