about S. in money and quantity of
liquor. The second attempt was upon
the shoe store of John Fleming, 222
East Main street. Here it is not be-
lleved the thieves secured anything,
the impression in police circles, be-
ing that they were frightened away

pended the fine pending good behavior
and if there is no more stealing re-
ported, this will end the case. The
court gave each defendant a severe
lecture, however, and told them that
if they were caught again they would
be placed in Jail on the commitment

RICE WILL OF '96 is BARRED.
Recorder GoR Rules II Ont Again.
More witnesses Testify TO Forged
signatures.

Signatures.
New York, Jan. 30.--When Recorder
Goff closed court for the day in the
trial of Albert L. Patrick for the muir
der of William M. Rice, he had for the
tenth time ruled out the admission OF
the Rice will of 1885, which the prose-
cution has been trying to get into the
record.
Following the evidence of Banker
Norman S. Meldrum who was again on
the stand to-day, that the signature to
the assignment of Mr.. Rice's estate to
Patrick was forgery, and that the
signature of the 1896 will was genuine,
came the testimony of Joseph l.. Blinn,
of Springfield, Mass, a nephew of the
dead man. MIR. Blinn told Of being
summoned to New York by Patrick,
and said the latter told him he (Blinn)
was to get 100000 of the estate under
the 1900, or Patrick viii.
Cross-examination of Mr.. Blinn by
counsel for the defense brought out
that there was an ARRANGEMENT by
which witness was to receive $i5,0OO
from the Rice Institute If the 1896 Will
were probated Under this 1896 will
! Mr.. Riinns share was $500OOO. Rlce
said that the Arrangement was In writ
| ing. 1t came from Col. Joseph Rice,
William M. Rice's nephew, and Blinn
had signed the paper.
Two Texans testified to-day. They
were Emanuel Raphael, secretary and
manager of the Houston Clearing
House. and also a trustee of the Rice,
Institute: and A. B. Cohn, clerk and
agent of w M. Rice in Texas. Mr.
Raphael told of the plan for
the Rice Institute. He swore
he was familiar with Rice's
signatures, and that the signatures on
the check, the assignment of the Rice
estate to Patrick and the paper which
revoked Captain Bakers right to
Rice's safety deposit box were for
geries. Mr.. Cohn swore the signatures
to the 1900 will, the checks, and the
assignment Were not genuine.

WILL HAVE CENSUS BUREAU.
Present Employees Retained-Nad-
dox Opposed Collection of Cotton
Statistics.

Present Employees Retained-Mnd-
dox Opposed Collection of Cotton
Statistics.
Washington Jan. 90.-The House to-
day passed the bill for the creation of
a permanent Census Bureau. The
friends of the Civil Service Law who
were opposed to making the employees
of the bureau eligible for transfer or
retention, were Overwhelmingly de-
feated. BY the terms of the bill the
permanent organization will succeed
the present temporary organization
July /, 1902, and all employees on the
rolls upon the date of the passage of
the act will become eligible for trans
fer to other departments or retention in
the permanent organization. The bill
also provides for a manufacturing CEN
sus in 1905, and for the collection of
certain special statistics annually.
During the discussion of the bill, Mr..
Maddox. of Georgia, expressed the opin-
ion that the proposed collection of an
nual statistics upon cotton under the
bill was in the interest of the specula-
tors.
II am sorry to hear a gentleman
from the South express such an opin-
ion," observed Mr.. Hopkins, "The
collection of these statistics will be
for the benefit of the planter, manu-
facturer and laborer."
Mr. Kluttz of North Carolina. advo-
Gated the passage of the bill, urging
the provision for the annual collection
of cotton statistics as an especial rea-
son why the bill should commend it
self to members of the cotton-growing
states.
Mr.. Maddox of Georgia, demanded
the ayes and noes upon the passage of
the bill, but only eleven members Sec
onded the demand. and the bill was
passed without division.
The House then adfolIrned
