TEOUS TO THE KANSAS TERROR.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April Mrs Carrie
Nation, of Kansas, spent another hour
and half in ST. Louis today. She visit
ed two Market street saloons, engaged in
heated arguments with the bar tenders,
and finally was forced from a saloon
named after her, and which was visited
on her previous passage through ST..

Today she was compelled to leave the
place at the point of a revolver.
''These things will be different, some
day." she declared. Look out for me
when I get out from under bond in Kan
sas. I'll close these hell holes if have
to come back and smash every one of
them
Mrs. Nation started on her saloon tour
with only one companion, but by the
time she, reached the Nation" saloon,

tion began to talk to the proprietor he
grew excited.
Il don't believe any lady would do as
you are DOING he shouted. II don't
think you're in any place for a lady.
You're selling your soul worse than
am. I'll pct you that my wife and 1 are
a good 1eal happier than you are with
your husband.
But you're running other families re-
piled Mrs. Nation, shaking her fists.

Yes you do, you ruin hundreds of

The crowd cheered and the proprietor
shook a seltzer bottle in Mrs. Nations
face. She did rot move. He drew his
revolver and told her to move or he
would shoot her and somebody else too.
She made her way to the street and
made a speech to the crowd.

NEW YORK, April 2.-Without the
slightest hitch in his well modulated
voice and displaying no outward sign of
regret or remorse, Charles F. Jones,
secretary and valet of the late William
Marsh Rice, confessed under oath that
he had ended the life of his employer
and benefactor with chloroform.
The confession was the climax of
remarkable recital in which was laid
bare the details of an alleged subtle con-
Spiracy, which had for its object the
seizure of $4,000 in cash and negotiable
securities and the conversion of 3d.
100000 in realty to the use of the al
legged chief conspirator.
There was a dramatic force in the
directness and minute attention to detail
with which Jones approached the tragedy
the moment when he covered the face
of the sleeping man with the saturated
napkin and then waited for him to die.
The self-cOnfessed murderer told the
story of the alleged plot from its 1ncep-
tion. The capital crime he committed
and all the minor offenses that preceded
It were, he declared at the instigation Of
Albert Z. Patrick. 1t was Patrick, ne
said, who conceived the idea of forging
a will and forging transfers and convey
ances 1t was Patrick who induced two
persons to witness the forged signature.
It was Patrick who determined that Rice
should die, and it was Patrick who
sought to have him killed slowly, and
lhen becoming impatient determined
upon quick action.
NEVER KNEW PATRICK.
And, according to Jones, remarkable
as it may seem, Rice never knew Patrick
curing his life time and never saw him
but once. Jones' according to his story
first began his acquaintance with
Patrick when the lawyer called at the
residence of Millionaire Rice on Madison
in October, 1899. He told of the grow
ing friendship and the gradual approach
to the plot against Mr. Rice, which re-
suited III the scheme to defraud and
how he finally yielded Then came the
transfer of real and personal property
TO Patrick, over the forged signatures Of
Rice, the stealing of blank checks from
the millionaire's check book, then the
delivery to Patrick, and the forging of
Rice's signature, the proposition to put
the aged millionaire out Of the way, first
weakening him by continuous doses OF
mercury, the calling in of a physician at
frequent intervals, thus apparently pro-
viding for the issuance of death cert1r-
icate, and the extreme care with which
this plan of slow poisoning was
laid and how it was devel-
oped. Then unfolding the plot
in the drama, as if he was only interest
ed as a spectator, Jones led up to the
day Of the murder He swore that
Patrick had furnished him with mer-
curry pills of a different composition from
those first administered, told how the
millionaire defeated the purpose Of the
plotters by refusing to take them Then
Jones said, Patrick began to display i'm
patience. He swore he brought two
ounces of oXalic acid to Jones, and
swears he told him to dilute one ounce
in twenty-five times its weight in water,
and to give the mixture to Rice for the
purpose Of weakening his heart action.

witness with attention and occasionally
made notes of the testimony. Not even
the remarkable witness on the stand
was more cool, calm and collected than
this remarkable prisoner. Patrick S hand
was firm and steady. He displayed Meth
er anger, fear nor resentment. When
Jones reached the description of the
murder of the sleeping old man, Pat
rick merely stroked his beard and leaned
back in his chair, apparently slightly
| bored by the recital of the details.
Mrs. Francis, with whom Patrick
boarded at the time Rice died, preceded
Jones on the witness stand. She was
called to identify the kilograms from j.
M. Coleman, Houston, Tex, addressed
to Patrick, and to tell of some "grayish-
white pills which the prisoner was TAX
ing for malaria. She was asked if she
had destroyed Patrick's medicine chest
and replied in the negative. adding that
she would deliver any of Patrick's prop
erty to the district attorney any time
that it was wanted.
JUDGE TAKES A HAND.
Assistant District Attorney Osborne
jumped at the offer and said he would
send a detective for the medicine chest.
Mr.. Houseman, counsel for the defense,
objected to action being taken at once,
obstreperous he would go to the Francis
house himself, take possession of the
medicine box and leave nothing for Mr.
Osborne
Zone moment" said Justice Jerome 'T
control this situation myself. 1 think
any one who seized these articles and
withheld them from the authorities could
be sent to the Tombs."
Mr.. Houseman expressed a willingness
TO he t0 ho
in discharging duty to, one of his
friends. 1t was finally arranged, how
ever that both sides should have rep
resentatives when the medicine chest was
first removed from the Francis residence.
Afterwards it was to be turned over to
the district attorney for safekeepinng.
JONES TAKES THE STAND.
Charles F. Jones, Rice's valet, was
called. He said he had worked as store
keeper at the Capitol hotel, Houston
he met Mr.. Rice in 1885, and that he had
been Mr.. Rices secretary, valet and
general utility man. Mr.. Rice he said
moved to New York in September, 1897.
Witness said that he first met Patrick
in November 1899. Patrick represented
himself as a commercial man from Tex
as and wanted to see Mr.. Rice. Mr. Rice
was in bed at the time and Patrick in
troduced himself as Mr.. Smith.
Mr.. Patrick at that time, Jones said,
had a long talk with witness. He asked
whether Rice had a legal representative
in this city and showed himself inquisi-
tive about the affairs Of the old million
aire.
Patrick, the witness said, called sec
ond time. He then spent about an hour
with Jones. They discussed the will of
Mr.. Rice.
Witness said Patrick at that time stat
ed there was no doubt that the Holt side
of the case would win. There was an
abundance of evidence. Patrick said all
he needed was a letter to Capt Baker.

from Cen. Macarthur that AguinaId2

direction of the president The dispatch
conveying this information contained
much more than was given to the public.
The portion withheld related to the fu-

insurrection might accomplish. No Of
hcial statement could be obtained as to
what finally would be done with the
prisoner, but it was emphatically stated
that he would be held for the present.
but he would be granted all immunity
consistent with existing conditions. Gen.
Macarthur has hopes that a great deal
may be accomplished through Aguinaldo.
During the time he has been a prisoner.
he has made quite q favorable impression
upon Gen Macarthur.
1t has been suggested that under the
terms of the notice of amnesty, the
prisoner should be set at liberty at once.
but there is a provision in the amnesty
proclamation which says that those who
have violated the laws of war are ex-

Gen. Macarthur has satisfied himself
that Aguinaldo has not violated the law,
cannot be stated, as the prisoner would
be permitted to take the oath pending

Aguinaldo, having been the head of the

until the circumstances which surround
the situation in the Philippines make It
advisable to release him outright or
