JUDGE SEEKS MORE PROOF
Testimony Of Jones Not Conclu-
sive Enough to Hold Patrick.
VALET AGAIN ON THE STAND

Testimony Confined to showing Up Wit
mes. as n Man who Could Not Be He
l,cyed.-Cross Examination Brings Moth
Ing New.
New York, b.-There were Mt least
two incidents during yesterday =
cross examination OF Charles If. Jones,
the valet secretary Of Millionaire Rice,
which rose above the ordinary. One
was n remark made 10y Justice jerome,
who prcsidcs ut the hearing, and which
probably shows why Lawyer Patrick,
accused with Jones OF the murder
OF the former Texan, has all along
taken the accusations OF Jones
against him with demcanor almost
bordering on contempt.
Attorney Moore for the defense had
asked that when the hearing closed
for the dny II be not resumed until
Tuesday. Justice jerome seemed VIII
Ing, and then added: ut Ia necessary
that Jones' testimony as to this murder
should be corrobornted. He being q
lf-confcsscd accompllcc, his testl
mony alone In not enough upon which
TO hold Patrick"
Those who are watching the case
closely are wondering what corroborn
tive testimony the state will Introduce
to sustain the statements of Jones
The other incident brought out II
the clcarcst light the lndomtable nerve
of Lawyer Patrick. In the face OF thu
reiterated story OF Jones that Pntricl
had instigated the forgerlcs and Tho
actual murder, the latter took his
place In the court proceedings with thu
utmost nonchnlnnce. At one point i
became necessary that n statcmen
made by Jones be read and 1t was
given into the hands of one OF coun
sci for the defense for that purpose
This was the statement In which th'
valet claimed Patrick killed Rice ant
which he has since denied. The reade
hesitnted and stumbled over the writ
ten words. Suddenly Patrick spoke mp
eXclaiming, Here, l guess l can mak'
It out I'll read It," which he did In 1
loud, clear voice.
At this point In the proceedings Jus
tiCc JcToiic EuNe Ills cs'iihac VI Jph'
with characteristic tersencss. AttOr
ney Moore had been raking the wit
ness with questions, all tending t
bring out the valets lying propensi
ties. He showed that Jones lied to an,
deceived his own father when the lat
ter called on him In the hospital afte
he had attempted suicide; that he hat
told untruths to Assistant District AT
torney Osborne. and that he had lie,
to his own counsel. Here Justice Je
rome stuck In with the remark:
"This witness Is n weak, wicked an
unfortunate man. He Is n self-cor
fessed murderer and deserves cor
tempt, but won't allow you to insul

EYE TALKS, NO. 5.

By G. r. W. Marauardt Ophthalmologist.
Everyone knows how convex lens
focuses sunlight, and that, with very
strong one, a fire may be lighted, and
all should know that the crystalline
lens of the eye combined with the cornea
forms combination of such power that
1t will focus at point inside Of an inch,
hence to look at the sun with the naked
eye is very dangerous because the inten.
sity of the beat at the focus is liable to
destroy the nerve by burning it just as
the sur. n.Rlass will burn hole in hat.
Even using smoked glasses to watch
eclipses is none too safe.
Imagine piece Of glass formed like a
the short way than it has the long way.
Anyone knows that as curvature is
what does the focusing it would be i'm.
pos.ible for all rays to focus at one place,
and there would be little danger of even
sunlight doing any burning under such
conditions. Nor would glass so made
be worth anything to photographer,
because he could not get picture
through it, In this fact we have one of
the greatest proofs that the brain is the
real sight center, because great many
people have eyes the corneas of which
are formed in percisely this manner, and
yet they see well enough to get around
and often do fine work and thousands Of
people are struggling along with such a
deformity. suffering many nervous ills
in consequence, when pair of glasses
ground to fit the defects would relieve
them entirely. The fact that they see
we'll enough to do their work proves
that it is simply by educating the optic
nerve and the brain to understand the
meaning of the impression ON the retina,
even though it be dim.
The cut shows representative of the
cornea of such an eye.
The curvature "a" takes the lines
'1.I" and focuses them at point 10
after which it will be observed they
diverge, having crossed.
The curvature "B" takes the lines
"2-2" and focuses them Mt "2" Now
regard "a" as the vertical meridian of
the cornea and "B' as the horizontal,

Radical. Confer with Wood.

Havana, April 5.-The socalled rad
ical element in the Cuban constitu.
tional convention, including Seniors
Juan Gomez, Portuondo, Aleman and
Manduley, held conference with Gov
ernor General Wood regarding the
Platt amendment. Wood said the Unit,
ed States intcded to deal justly and
honestly by the Cubans and had nc
desire to retain possession of the isl
and. He pointed out that the Plat,
with the view to protecting weak ma
tion against outsiders as we'll as
against internal strife, and would not
interfere with Cuban independence.

then regard point 81" as the location of
the retina, and it will be seen that the
divergent rays from point 81" would
form circle of diffused light around
point 49," thus causing confusion.
The person with such eyes never sees
perfectly. This is called astigmatism,
signifying without point"
When it is present in high degree it
makes vision so poor that people think
the child was born blind or partly SO, or
they think it is disease. There are a
number of alleged oculists who under.
take to treat such eyes incidentally.
Some know better, but do it for the
money there is in it, and others do it
because they are ignorant.
Around the crystalline lens, which is
situated just behind the pupil, there is a
set of muscles which, by contraction
from the application of nerve force,
cause the lens to increase in convexity
when occasion demands in all eyes. In
such cases as this there is a constant
effort of these muscles, which causes a
lot of trouble, and the only result is to
deplete the nerve supply and set up a
feverish condition in those muscles and
the tissue, which connect them with
the outer layers; then, when the patient
goes out in the cold air, the sudden chill
to the feverish membrane which lines
the lids and covers the front of the eye
causes its nerves to contract suddenly
and the eyes become "blood.shot -
Repeated exposures aggravate this con.
dition more and more until it finally
becomes "graulated-lids.'
Permitting this to run along without
proper care may develop ulcers of the
cornea these ulcers leave scars, and
you might as well try to see through q
frosted window as through such a
cornea. 1t is much easier to prevent
than to cure any disease, hence all such
conditions should be responded to by

The doctor who treats such simple
cases as disease does not know the frs
principle of ophthalmology, becaus'
they are not diseases, but merely
symptoms of an error in the formation
of the eye, the only correction for which
is glasses.
