THEIR RELATIONS PLEASANT.
No Friction Between secretary
Hitchcock and Mr. Hermann

There is absolutely nothing in the
story to the effect that there is friction
between the Secretary of the Interior and
myself said Binger Hermann, Commits
sioner of the Land Office this morning
My relations with Secretary Hitchcock
have been as pleasant as possible, and I
cannot understand how such report
could have originated The matter of re-
tiring from Office has not been considered
by me I am in constant touch with the
executive head OF the Interior Depart
ment and important matters are now be-
ing considered by US with relation to Ger
tain business of this Office. This relates
entirely to the opening of lands for set
tiers. my report on the subject now be
ing in the hands of the Secretary. who
viii, after considering it. forward it to
the President. The report concerns the
new plans to oe pursued with relation to
the opening Of lands in Oklahoma and
was made by me at the request of the
Secretary"
This statement was made by Mr- Her
mann in reply to a question regarding q
rIEnor that has gained considerable circu-
Iation to the effect that Secretary Hitch

PATRICK HELD FOR MURDER
The Accused Attorneys Case to Go
to the Grand jury.
Justice Jerome Holds That Jones'
Testimony Is Adequately CoFrOh-
grated. Tending to Connect the De
fend=nf with the killing of Rice.


NEW YORK. April 16.-Albert T.
Patrick. the attorney who IS charged
with the murder of the aged Texas
millionaire. William Marsh Rice, has
been held for the grand jury by Justice
Jerome, and will in al probability, be
placed on trial for his life.
After considering the voluminous tes-
ttmony introduced during the recent
hearing, including the surprising con-
fession of Jones. the vaIet-secretary of
the late millionaire, Justice Jerome
haTded down his decision against Pat
rick this morning, announcing that he
had found the evidence sufficient for
holding Patrick OF the murder charge
The decision was announced in the
library Of the Criminal courts Building,
where all the lawyers in the case had
assembled and where the preliminary
hearing WAS held before Justice Jerome
as committing magistrate.
When the justice made public his de-
cision he handed down the following
memorandum:
AN examination of the evidence sat
isfes me that the witness Jones is ad-
equateIy c0rroborated- within the
meaning of section 3g9 Of the Code of
s-..minaI Procedure. by evidence tend
iGz to connect the defendant with the
commission Of the crime charged The
defendant must therefore. be held
upon the charge of murder in the first
degree 10 await the action OF the grand
jury.
april I6 1901"
One effect of the decision viii be to
bring nearer 10 a settlement the ques-
ton pending before Surrogate Fitzger-
aid of a postponement of the cases in
voIvIng the two Rice wills, one of which
Patrick hes offered for probate
Counsel for Patrick have contended
that his interests in the criminal pro-
ceedfugs should not be subjected to the
risk Of prejudice by prior or conteHa-
porary civil proceedings. Surrogate
fitzgerald has adjourned the civil cas-
es twice. pending Justice Jerome's de-
cision in the preliminary examination
in the murder case, the last adjourn
nent being taken from yesterday TO to-
morrow. and has not passed upon the
subject Of the long delay which Pat
rick's counsel have asked and for
which they served notices that they
would renew their application tomor-
row. They want the viii cases put eff
until all the criminal proceedings
against Patrick, which viii include
trial for forgery, if the murder case
falls through. have been completed.
such a delay might be delay of years,
but they regard It evidently as vital Cor
Parfck-s interests in the criminal ac-
tons.
No matter how much despatch IS
used in the matter Of the Indictment,
il Is not beliered that the case can
come to trial before rext fall Mr. Os-
borne, the assistant district attorney,
will prosecute in May the third trial
of Dr.. :. J. Kennedy for the Dolly Rey-
noIds murder, and he viii be busy with
