The great changes which had come
about in the traffic world had convinced
the directors that the time had arrived
to inaugurate the open door policy

the Panama route. We accordingly ne
gctiated and recently have executed sat
isfactory traffic agreements with several
important steamship lines on the Pacific
coast AMI also have renewed the long

and valet to the late VIM. Marsh Rice.
today confessed under oath that he had
ended the life Of his employer and bene-
factor with chloroform.
The confession was the climax Of a
remarkable recital in which were laid
bare the letaIls Of an alleged subtle
conspiracy which had for its object tie
securing II three millions in realty to
uses Of the alleged chief consplrator.
The self-confessed murderer told the
story Of the alleged plot from ITS incep-
ton. The capital crime he committed
and all minor offenses that prece led 1t
were. he declared, at the instigatlon and
direction Of Albert T. Patrick. II was
Patrick. he said, who conceived the idea
Of forging the will and forging the
transfers and cOnveya1ces. It was Pat
rick who induced two persons to wit
ness the forged signature. 1t was Pat
rick who determined that Rice should
die. and il was Patrick who sought to
have him killed slowly and then be-
coming impatient determined upon quick
action and, according to Jones remark
able as 1t may seem, Rice never knew
Patrick during his life time and never
saw him but once.
Jones described his approach to Rice's
bed with the ChlorOform- saturated lap
kin in his hands. OF placing It over the
face of the sleeping old man; Of the
flight from the room, of the weary wait
Of 30 minutes in accordance with Pat
rick's Instructions AT the expiration
OF half an hour he returned and found
Rice dead. He then threw open the
window to free the room of the odor
Of chloroform, telephoning to Patrick
that Rice was dead.
When Jones reached the description
Of the murier OF the sleeping man, Pat
rick merely stroked his beard and lean
ed back in his chair apparently slight
ly bored by the recital Of the details.
Patricks medicine chest was seized to-
day at his late lodgings and is now in
the keeping Of the district attorney.

BUCKET SHOPS IN TROUBLE.
Likely to Be Removed From New York
to Canada.

NEW YORK, April 2.-The provision
in the war revenue reduction act re-
lating to bucket shops is now in effect
and the result Of its operations is await
ed with considerable interest, especially
in downtown brokerage circles. The
application of the law places bucket
shop men in the peculiar position Of
having to pay special tax and to ac-
knowledge in writing that they are
bucket shop men, while the business of
conducting a bucket shop business in
this state is prohibited by state law.
Internal Revenue Collector Charles H.
Treat said that so Ear no bucket shop
men had applied for a license in ac-
cordance with the provision of the new
law, They have ten days, however. in
which to pay the special tax and take
out such license, No official rulings
have yet come from Washington re-
gardlng the scope Of the bucket shop
amendment.
There is some talk that the bucket
shops may remove their headquarters to
Canada. where there are no anti-bucket
shop laws and no internal revenue tax.
Agents in this city would still act for
them but all transactions would be by
telegraph. The opinion is expressed
that the present state and federal laws
would not reach such operations

In regard to j. Pierpont Morgan's s
