THE Y. M. c. A.
AT WARREN
HOSTS OF SINGING DELEGATES
INVADE THE TOWN.
The Thirty-fourth State Convention
of the Young Mems Christian AS
sociation Opened Yesterday-Six
Hundred Delegates Are Expected.
Five Indians from the Carlisle
School Present.

Warren, Pa, Feb. 20.--Warren capit-
ulated today to the invading hosts,
and tonight the town is filled with
earnest, singing, enthusiastic delegates
to the thirty-fourth state convention of
the Young Mems Christian association.
1t is essentially % convention of young
men and promises to be one of the most
interesting ever held. 1t is expected
that six hundred delegates and others
will be present, and the accommoda-
tions are taxed to the straining point.
The opening session was held in the
association building at o'clock, pre-
sided over by James Shand, promin-
ent Lancaster merchant. Epigram-
matte bits of wisdom flowed from a
large number of the delegates, and
these officers We're elected:
President, j. W. Little, Erie: vice
presidents, ID. I. Ball, Warren; c. Wal
ter, Wikes-Barre; Charles A. Beach,
Philadelphia; secretary, A. T.. Hoff-
sommer, Tarentum. George ID. Selden,
president of the Erie City Iron works,
Erie, told How to make the most of
the state convention"
AT $50 o'clock the womens auxiliary
served banquet in the armory of
Company ]. About 400 were seated,
and the scene was one of rare bril-
liancy. d. c. Michener, of New York,
spoke on "The Association Man-What
Manner of Man Ought He to Be?" The
idea advanced was that personal work
should prevail. and that men enter the
association for what they could put
into it, and not what tlfey could get
out. Rev. j. w. Smith, d. D., of War;
ren spoke briefly, and a mighty chorus
joining in the doXology, adjourned the
convention to the First Presbyterian
church, where a rousing song service
was followed by an address by Mr..
Morgan.
Five delegates. Indians from the
Carlisle school, are present, and fea-
ture of the convention is the elaborate
educational exhibit made by assoca-
tions from all sections of the state. A
splendid programme has been prepared
for every hour of the time until the
final session is held on Sunday even

As witness:
A Young man very close to Mr., Rogers and his

ago with the Amagamatod president, who is
known to be interested also in the sugar trust,
TO mention that he had several hundred shares
of sugar trust stock which, as ii stood. netted
him about $40 profit

the fact that he had this profit, 'that it is going

The gentleman addressed chewed the cud OF 81

well, 5000 is quite sum of money for a

The 'young man" took what he considered
to be the hint conveyed, and the next morning
at the market opening sold the stock and took
his profits
All that remains to be said is that the price at
which he disposed OF his holdings was the lowest,
not only for that day, but the lowest since ra

Mr.. Rogers, who is credited with being one OF
the factors in the advance in the stock. really

DRAMATIC POINT in
THE PATRICK CASE
Valet Jones Relates the Incidents Of
the Murder Of William
Marsh Rice.
By Exclusive Wire from the Associated Press.

New York, Feb. 20.-A very dramatic
point in the trial of Lawyer Albert L.
Patrick for the murde, OF the Texas
millionaire, William Marsh Rice, was
reached this afternoon. Charles L.
Jones, the valet, had been relating the
circumstances leading up to the some
what sudden death Of Mr.. Rice in
September. Then plunging at once into
the details he held the attention of the
audience to the end Of his recital. Freed
of minor points, his story follows:
In August Patrick grew impatient.
Mr.. Rice though an invalid, was living
too long to suit the lawyers purposes.
Patrick said he would come to the
house and kill him himself if necessary.
He suggested chloroform and Jones
said he would get some.
The idea of chloroform as means
was suggested by q magazine article.
1t was determined upon after Jones
talked with a physician who said a
person whose heart was affected, as
was Mr.. Rice's could be most easily
killed with it, and that little trace of
the drug would be left. Jones got a
two ounce vial of it by writing to his
brother in Texas.
Jones then branched off into the al
legged plan to weaken the al
ready sick old man. This was by CIV
ing him mercury and iron pills. The
pills brought on debiltating diarrhoea.
Then unwittingly a friend brought Mr..
Rice a present of bananas. OF these
the old man ate nine. The fruit made
him exceedingly i'll and yet the weak
ening doses of mercury We're kept up.
By Saturday, being the eighth day Of
the last illness, Mr.. Rice became delir-
ious. This testimony brought the
events up to Sunday, the day of death.
and the witness had said that during
these ten days of illness he had kept
Patrick Informed of the details per-
sonally and by telephone.
William Marsh Rice's quick DEATH
declared the witness, was decided at a
conference between Patrick and Jones
held Saturday night. Jones had told
the lawyer of the arrival of a draft
of $4,000. Patrick told.jlim it was time
to apply the chloroform now that the
draft had come and Captain Baker was
coming, or they would lose all. Jones
agreed.
Jones here told his story of the ac-
tual killing. He made cone of a tow
el in the small end of which was
chloroform- sponge. Creeping
into the room where Mr.. Rice lay
sleeping he quickly covered the sleep
er's face with the large end of the
cone. Jones rushed out of the room.
In half an hour he came back. He re-
moved the cone. Mr.. Rice was dead.
Jones swore he telephoned to Patrick
the words:
"NIr. Rice is very ill.," the agreed sig
nal between the two of death. Jones
story of the end was concluded by the
statement that Patrick came to the
house and removed all of Mr.. Rice's
papers.

Rubbing It In.

An Albany lawyer with penchant for billiards
had occasion recently to visit a small town.
While there, seeking TO pass the time, he found a
new and excellent billiard table. Upon his in
quiring ii there was anybody about who could
play, the landlord referred him TO one of the
natives, who may be called John Jones, because
that isn't his name. They played several games,
but the result was against the Albany lawyer.
Try as he might, the countyman won. 'Mr.
Jones'" he remarked, II have quite reputation
at home. They consider me good billiard play
er, but Pm not in your class. May l inquire
how long you have played2"
"oh, for . spell back" replied the native
"say stranger, don't want to hurt your feelings,
but you're the fust feller ever beatl"-Kansas

Indian schools in the East were, he

Mr.. Cannon Qllinois) joined with Mr.
Smith in opposing the eastern schools.
He declared that it was the heighth
of cruelty to educate the Indians and
then send them back to savagery.
Mr.. Sherman opposed the amend
ment, reading from the report of the
commissioner of Indian affairs the
statement that education on the reser-
vations was not productive of advance
ment and that education far from the
influence of the tribes had more than
met the highest expectations. After
some further discussion by Mr.. Lacey
Uowa) against and by Mr.. Fitzgerald
(New York; and Mr.. Morrell (Pennsyl-
vania) in support of the Smith amend
ment, it was lost.
Mr.. Fitzgerald (New York; created
something of a sensation in moving
that no part of the appropriation for
the Indian school at Mount Preasant,
Michigan. should be used to pay the
present superintendent, who, he said,
had been charged with permitting the
Gebauching of Indian girls.
Mr.. sherman declared that if the SUI
perintendent had been guilty of the
practices charged, the civil service law
would not protect him, and that If eVi-
dence We're produced to justify the
charges, the commissioner of Indian af-
fairs would dismiss him instantly. He
proposed that Mr.. Fitzgerald go with
him to the Indian Office tomorrow and
investigate the whole matter.
"If any one has been guilty of the
things charged" said he, 'he Will be
out of the service before night"
Without action on the amendment,
the house at 4.55 adjourned.
