COMPLAINS OF DELAY IN PATRICK CASE.
COUNSEL FOR LAWYER ACCUSED OF POISONING
RICE WANTS PRELIMINARY EXAMINA-
TON HURRIED.

When the preliminary examination in the case of
Albert T. Patrick. accused of having. in cOllusiOn
with Charles F Jones, poisoned William NJ. Rice,
was called yesterday morning before Justice Jerome,
in the Criminal Courts Building. Assistant District
Attorney Frank p. Garvin asked for further Gd-
journment for two weeks because Professor Witt
haus he said has thus far been unable to complete
a chemical analysis.
This application opposed by Mr.. Moore, Pat
rick's lawyer who said that by this time something
besides the warrant should be submitted further
hold the prisoner.
He thought that the District Attorney ought to
be more speedy an this case. and said that further
DELAY would carry the into April The pro-
ceedings of the preliminary examination could not
possibly get Sefore the grand jury in May. and
that would mean that the trial would not take
place until the fall.
Justice Jerome said that it was fair and right that
a prisoner should be properly informed OF the
charge he had to meet, and only a weak District
Attorney would try to conceal the evidence in his
possession and seek have the accused held on the
information warrant.
After further discussion the preliminary "Xan-
ination set for March 20. with the understand
ing that it will be continued from day to day until
closed.

ESTABLISHING KINDERGARTENS.

Miss Laura d. Gill. of the Cuban orphan Society.
has just sent report the society the progress
of kindergarten and industrial training in Cuba.
In Santa Maria del Rosario, Havana Province,
kindergarten and women's class have been estab-
lished. In Matanzas a normal class for twenty
kindergartners. a kindergarten and poor women's
class have been opened. Sagua Ia Grande, Santa
Clara Province. has a normal class for kinder
garners with students, kindergarten with
sixty children, class for forty teachers of the
lowest primary grade and classes of forty
young children from public schools in kinder
garten games and occupations. Santiago de Cuba
has work in process of organization similar to
that in Matanzas. Miss GIL says in her report:
The children are most responsive and tractable
and are fascinated with the new method. Lack of
mental occupation IS a great curse to many classes
and to all children. one could easily imagine the
women rocking themselves into insanity. In Sagua

The importance of this sewing class would hardly
be appreciated without some explanation Fine
embroidery and drawn work taught to girls
everywhere IN Cuba. This work IS ruinous the
eyes. and has small market value. being purely
luxury; whereas the more necessary art of dress
making and neat, plain sewing IS little practised.
BY preparing sixty public school teachers in the
city for scientific instruction In the making OF
derclothing and dresses We hope TO create public
sentiment for sensible sewing with a fair market
value.
