THE PATRICK FORGERY CASE
No Thought of Indicting Patrick for
Murder - Disagreement Among the
Handwriting Experts.

New York, October 6.-Frederick 3.
House, attorney for Albert 7. Patrick
and Charles F. Jones. who are in the
Tombs, charged with forging the name
of William Rice to checks for sums ag-
gregating $3.50, 1000, had a consultation
with his clients this morning.
Lawyer House and Assistant District
Attorney Osborne. had a conference to-
day, after which it was announced by
both that Patrick's bail would IT be
offered until Monday.
Mr. Osborne was asked if he had any
intention of making a charge of muir
der against Patrick and Jones and
said
"At the present time I certainly have
not any such intention. The men are
charged with forgery in the second de-
gree and the indictment includes both
checks. The chemists analysis has not
been reported to me yet, and unless
there is something showing conclusive
evidence of murder L have no intention
of bringing that charge"
Although the hand. writing experts
who have examined the alleged forged
documents in the case agree in their
final verdict as to the forged sigma
lures, there is already disagreement
over the details of the work. David N
Carvalho, one of the experts, after ex-
amining the checks drawn on Swenson
& Sons, pronounced both signatures
forgeries by tracing. Those drawn or
the Fifth Avenue Trust Company, he
decided were free hand forgeries, as
were the assignment and revocation. A

DESTRUCTIVE TORNADOES
Sweep Over Parts of Minnesota and
Wisconsin-Two Persons Killed

Duluth, Mimi, October 6.-One OF
the fiercest tornadoes that ever visited
north Minnesota and parts of Wiscon-
sin, struck the edge of the Mesaba
range town of Biwalrik this afternoon,

Biwalrik with a power that was IRE
siStible. 1t tipped locomotives over

UNIFORMITY OF NAVAL SALUTES
A Move to Secure This Among the
Different Powers

Washington, October 6.-The navy
department has initiated a movement
to secure an international agreement
upon a uniform system of naval sa-
lutes. The greatest diversity now ex-
lists in the practice of the various ma
tions, and the friction engendered by
quarrels between naval commanders
over the salutes has given them in
some instances almost the importance
of international incidents. For in
stance, while Admiral Kempff was ly-
ing at Taku on his flagship Newark,
an exchange that took place between
himself and an English captain, owing
to the latter'S declination to give
Kempf the same number OF guns
which had been accorded by a Russian
ship, gave rise to a good deal of feel
ing at the time.
The British naval salutes are each
less by two guns than the correspon-
ding American salutes. The same diff
ference exists between the military
of the two nations. The French salutes
are like those of none of the great
powers of the world. In fact, few of
the powers correspond in their prac-
tice in this matter.
In view of the misunderstanding
which materialize from this state of
affairs it has been considered advisa-
BILE by the navy department 10 bring
the matter TO the attention OF the state
department and suggest that the 9TH
er governments be communicated with,
with a view to their appointing repre-
sentativeS TO an international confer
ence to secure the adoption OF sys-
tenn of uniform salutes.
