ATTORNEYS IN A QUARREL.
shown by Lawyers in the
Patrick Case.

New York, April 10.-A bitter quarrel
between Assistant District Attorney Os-
borne and Attorney Moore who repre-
sents Albert I. Patrick; resulted from
yesterdays proceedings in the case of
Patrick, who is accused of the murder
of w. NJ. Rice. The cause of the dispute
was Mr.. Osborne's success In wriuging
from Valet Jones the statement that
the latter's 9 confession of the murder
was first told some time ago to Attorney
House, one of Patrick's S lawyers, who at
THAT time also represented Jones.
During the recess Attorney Moore up
braided MIR. Osborne for bringing out
this testimony, charging the district at
torney with unfairness and unprofes-
sional conduct. Mr.. Osborne answered
that he had done 30 because the defense
had insinuated that Jones' story had
been concocted by the attorneys for the
5prosecution. Accusations and recrimi-
nations were exchanged in lively fash
ion until the two attorneys We're separ-
ated by their asssociates.
When the hearing began Jones told
unconcernedly his story of the murder
jof Rice; how he administered chloro-
! form to the aged man. who lay half
conscious on his sick-bed; how he left
/ the room, listened to the delirious laugh
lof his victim the first effect of the
deadly drug, and returned half an hour
later to find him dead Thru it all he
reiterated the charge that Patrick was
the instigator of the crime
The Witness said after the death he
Itelephoned Patrick, that the latter came
with physician; that Patrick Stayed
in the house until after the body was
Iembalmed ard then left with notes,
coupons. deeds and other papers he
(Jones )had given him.
Testimony corroborative of Jones'
statement as to his telephone calls for
Patrick was given by two operators at
the teleph one exchange.
John H. Wallace. paying teller in the
banking house of Swenson & Company
told of the presentation on the day Mr.
Rice died of a check for ST., 900 purport-
ing to have been drawn by the million
iaire, of his refusal TO cash 1t because he
believed 1t was not genuine. Of calling
Jones on the telephone and being In
formed by the latter that Mr.. Rice was
dead, but that the check was all right,
and of the presentation on the same day
lof a check for $4,000 made payable to
Patrick.

The need of the island is a general
hospital with modern appliances which
could be built and equipped al compar-
atively small expense. Miss DIR. Atkins,
connected with the Presbyterian mis-
sion. San Juan. has twenty -nve to forty
calls daily from patients who need hos
pital treatment, many of whose lives
are lost because of the ack of it.
The education of the people is receiv-
ing the careful consideration of the au-
thorities. DR.. Brumbaugh, commissions

pressing problem AT present 10000

There are 800 teachers, about ninety of
whom are from the United States Both
Spanish and English arc taught and the
children are quick and eager to learn.
There is no high normal, Industrial
school or college in the island, tho Ma
jardo has raised $4,000 for normal
school. Sixteen school inspectors are in
the saddle visiting the different sections
of the island and their services are
much needed to keep the native teachers
to their tasks, which sometimes they
are disposed to shirk.
Religion is not allowed place on the
curriculum. There is widespread de-
sire to learn English. The Presbyterian
mission under the wise generalship of
Rev. Dr. John NJ. Green, the Methodist
