poses OF the new association and its pros

he, will be less of a circus and more of

an effective organization must be

Every straight cattleman will go into
it and those dealers whose larger interests
are in cattle are anxious TO join. The
members are all pledged to maintain the
association, and l have not met a single
man in the cattle business who has not
Joined or expressed his intention of join

financial standpoint, is tremendously
large but as | say, we must have mum

which the association aims.
I'VE had 500 members when the con-
ventton adjourned at -Jenver, and every

FRANCES PREMIER
DANGEROUSLY ILL

Paris. April IN. WaldecB- Rousseau
passed a very bad night His physi-
clans. on their arrival at O'Clock this
morning. found phlegm beneath the
tongue and decided that an immediate
operation was necessary. This was ac-
complished under chloroform. At noon
the patient had improved and was free
from fever. The phlegm was accom-
panied by oedma, which made breath
ing difficult.
There is no doubt that the affection
from which the premier is suffering is
more serious than is shown by the
medical bulletins. and that the trouble
IS only temporarily held in check by
the operations. This evenings bulletin
says.
THE stats OF the patient is not
alarming. and there is every reason to
believe that he is bearing without too
much suffering the effects of today 5
painful operation. There is no change
in his condition and his strength is well
maintained.
Owing to the premier's illness Presi-
dent LOubet had kindly suggested the
unprecedented step of going himself TO
the ministry OF the interior to preside
at a cabinet council at o'clock this
afternoon, the idea being TO enable the
premier 20 be present without leaving
his residence. This suggestion how
ever the physicians would not allow to
be carried out and the arrangement
was abandoned Immediately on the an
uouucement that another operation
must be performed at once.

FLOOD Is THREATENED.
Storm in West Virginia May Raise
the Ohio River.

Wheeling, w. Va, April 4.-Reports
from all parts of West Virginia, which
have been kept back by broken wires, tell
Of severe snow, rain and windstorms
There was a heavy fall of snow all over
the state except in the southeastern part,
where there was a heavy rain instead.
Great alarm is felt here and at down
river points lest there be a flood stage
in the Ohio The reports received do not
warrant such fears, but the alarm is
caused by fears that reports kept back
by bad wires may be more disqUieting.
All the small streams in the upper part
of the state are bankful, and the lumber
men are suffering great losses. The Little
kanaWha is rising from headwaters. At
huntsville the river is raging torrent.
AT Grantsville this morning the stage
was twenty seven feet, with thirty-three
feet expected, which viii do great dam

HAS 4
CHANCE FOR LIFE
Jones' st DRY of Murder Must
Be COrrObOrated.
JUDGE GIVES THE
ACCUSED MAN HOPE
Gives Another Exhibition Of
His Remarkable Nerve.

New York. April 4.-There were at
least two incidents during todays
cross-examination of Charles f. Jones,
the valet-secretary of Millionaire VIII
liam Marsh Rice, which rose above the
ordinary. One was q remark made by
Justice Jerome, who presided at the
hearing, and which probably shows
why Lawyer Patrick. accused with
Jones of the murder of the former
Texan, has all along taken the accusa-
tiOns of Jones against himself with a
demeanor almost bordering on con-
tempt.
Attorney Moore, for the defense, had
asked that when the hearing closed
Tor the day il be not resumed until
Tuesday. Justice Jerome seemed will
ing and then added:
1T is necessary that Jones' testimony
as to this murder should be corrobo-
rated. He being a self-cOnfessS@ ac-
complete, mis- testimony alone Is not
enough upon which TO hold Patrick"
Attorney Moore tersely added to this:
we understand, and we suppose the
district attorney does, too
Tonight those who are watching the
case closely are wondering what cor
roborative testimony the state will in
troduce to sustain the claims Of Jones
Patrick Shows His Nerve.
The other incident brought out in the
clearest light the indomitahle nerve of
Patrick In the face of the reiterated
story of Jones that Patrick had insti-
gated the furgeries and the actual
murder. the latter took his place in the
court proceedings with the utmost nom
Chalance. At one point it became nee
essarY that a statement made by Jones
be read, and it was given into the
hands of one of counsel for the defense
for that purpose.
This was the statement in which the
valet claimed Patrick killed Rice, and
which he has since denied. The reader
hesitsted and stumbled over the writ
ten words. Suddenly Patrick spoke up,
exclaiming: Here, 1 guess can
make it out: III read it."
This was agreed to. and in a loud.
and sponge and saturated the sponge
with a cOlorIess liquid he had in d bot
lie. Then he went into the room where
r.. lay IN bed. / (Jones) was not in
the room, but opened the door and
peeped in.
p. was standing over r. with the
cone-shaped towel in his hand, and he
pressed il down over r. $ face"
Patrick was still reading with no
show of emotion when Justice Jerome
ordered a recess for luncheon.
The 'P.s' and RS" in the state
ment stand for Patrick and Rice.
At another point in the proceedings
Justice Jerome gave his estimate of
Jones with Characteristic terseneS~ At
tOrney Moore had been raking the wit
ness with questions, all tending to
bring out the Wallets lying prOpensi-
ties. He showed that Jones had lied to
and deceived his own father when the
latter called on hin in the hospital
after he had attempted suicide, that
he had told untruths to Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Osborne. and that he
had lied to his own counsel Here
Justice Jerome struck in with the re-
mark:
This witness is a weak. wicked and
unfortunate man. lie is self-con-
fessed murderer and deserves contempt.

How Chicago Man Was Saved from
Going to Prison

Chicago, April 4.-Michael J. Samp-
son, formerly chief clerk of the bu-
reau of special assessments, who was
arrested in London. brought back and
convicted some time ago of forgery,
was, by vigorous use of the long-dis-
tance telephone today, saved for the
time being at least from entering upon
his term of Imprisonment in the Joliet
penitentiary.
The supreme court issued a mandate
a month ago refusing Il new trial for
Sampson, and ordering the she<iff to
take him to the penitentiary at once.
Shortly after noon today Judge Glib
bons granted writ of habeas corpus
for Sampson, setting his hearing for to-
morrow. Sampson had left for Joliet,
and the warden was requested by wire
to stop the prisoner at the door on
their arrival this afternoon.

rejected, is TO build a smaller cruiser
and a slower one. namely, $500 tons
and twenty-five knots speed, in thirty
four months, for the 81, $40, 900 avail
