The PATRICK TRIAL.
Valet Jones Continues Tale of His
Connection With the Case.

Ne" FORK, FEB. 1s.-Charles r. Jones
was again the star witness in the Pat
rick trial today. The fact that he was
the closest person to Millionaire Rice in
the latter days Of his life and that at
one time he confessed thar II was he
who killed the millionaire nv admins
tern2 chioroform at the instigation Of
Patrick. as ne said. drew all eyes in the
cro"aeo court room to him. He was
on the stand from the opening to the
closing OF court and has not finished his
testimony.
There was mass of evidence con-
corning Patrick's alleged drawing of
Jones into conspiracy to utter a forg-
ed will by which Patrick was to be the
principal beneficiary; of Jones fears Of
discovery: Of Patrick's alleged assur-
ance that the tracks Of the two would
be well covered: of the "doctoring' of
Mr.. Rice's letter book and many other
details. During ii all Attorney Patrick
listened to the witness story to the
jury with what seemed the utmost I'M
concern.
II was late in the afternoon when
Jones touched upon what the state
seemed TO think was very important
evidence. 1t was when Jones was
shown the will Of 1900-the so-called
Patrick will. He had previously testi-
fled that Morris Meyer and David L.
Short had been introduced into the Rice
house to make out certain papers.
Short acting as notary for Mr.. Rice.
Jones now swore that Patrick told him
Meyer had typewriter this will and
that when he Uones) first saw it, the
will was unsigned.
Then he swore that the only law bust
ness Patrick ever did for Rice was to
pass on the correctness Of some docu-
ment Of Mr.. Rice's and this was at
Jones request. He swore that to his
knowledge Mr.. Rice never signed the
1900 will and he was certain that he
did not sign it on June 80, 1900. He had
seen this will in Patrick's office, two
weeks before Mr.. Rice died and it was
unsigned then. Mr.. Rice died, Sept. %,
1900.
At to Patrick's alleged preparation
for removing any obstacles to the pro-
batting of the will, Jones said that Pat
rick explained that the legacies under
the will were designed to remove the
possibilities Of such opposition and that
Patrick went over each paragraph OF
the will with him (Jones).

CUBA'S NEEDS
And What We Should Do to
Give Her Prosperity
Discussed at Grand Mass Meeting in
Carnegie Hall, New York.


New York. Feb. 19.-Cuba's needs.
and what this country should do 10
prosper the island Whose freedom 1t ae-
compIished. we're yet forth. tonight, at
parties. AT the close resolutions were
adopted endorsing a reduction Of at
least 30 per cent. In the existing duties
on Cuban products In return for an
equal concession on the part Of Cuba
on products imported from this coun-
try.
Gen. Stewart i. Woodford, who was
ambassador TO Spain before the war,
occupied the chair. The speakers Of the
evening were Edward ". Shepard, Ed
ward Lauterbach and w. Bourke
Cochran.
The call for the meeting was signed
by such men as Abram S. Hewitt,
VIM. r.. Dodge w. ID. Howells, X. w.
Glider. John G. Carlisle. Oscar :.
Straus, Benz. F.. Tracy. Cornelius y.
Bliss. Gen. Stewart l.. Woodford and
Frederick X. Coudert, Jr,
Gen. WoodfOrd laid stress upon the
advantages Of securing the trade OF
Cuba which he said could not be had
except by proper concessions TO her.
Cuba will need meat" said he. rs
she going to take them from South Al
RIGA or from us. She Will need textile
goods. IL she going TO take them from
Europe? She viii need manufactured
iron. Are we going to supply itE Last
year the Cuban imports amounted IL
more than SgG. 900, 900. and more than
hair Of il she took from clear across the
sea."
Gen. Woodford concluded his speech
with q plea to the audience to remem-
Der the last speech OF President Nc
Kiniey In which he advocated recipro-
city with foreign countries.
Edward NJ. Shepard pointed out that
every chamber Of commerce in the
country almost every financial interest.
the public and the press, were for
granting reciprocity to Cuba.
Against this great public clamor" he
said there are arrayed only two in
terests In this country. One is the
grower Of beet sugar and the other ~
the grower Of tobacco within our own
borders Important az ] consider boti
these interests, and much as | should
rejoice to see both prosper, they are.
nevertheless, only a very small part OF
tbs. interests Of this great country.
Here we must also remember that pre-
ciseIy those two products are the sole
wealth Of Cuba. If Cuba shall prosper
IL must be In her tobacco and her su-
gar. 1t Is the duty OF both parties 10
stand together In this matter with pat
riotic fervor.'
Edward Lauterbach took the ground
that the Republican party assumed the
responsibility for the war and that III
would see to 1t that Cuba lives In nap
nv contentment. Mr.. Cochran, the last
speaker. said In part: Il want the
honor of this country to remain unlm-
paired, however much question there
might be among some OF our own citi-
zens or among foreign powers regard
ing the wiedom OF our policy. The most
effective way of discriminating against
independent nations such as Cuba
would he prohibiting her altogether
from producing sugar or tobacco. II
such proposition were made In ms
country. It would meet with such a
public cutlery as has never been heard
In all our history"
