posed to drive the oleomargarine in

Gated the adoption Of the substitute
offered, as he said that would elm
mate the possibility Of fraud as GER
tainly as the pending measure would
and would do,no injustice to anybody.

the bill because 1t was protest
against fraud and against an indus
try (which depended for It's success

in the interest of the whole people.

ment in opposition to the bill, but had
not concluded when the senate adj
journed.

DICKINSON NON GRATA.
Due Efforts In Stone Case--BuIgarla

AS one result of his activities In
the Stone case, Mr.. Dickinson has
lost his position as diplomatic repre-
sentative to Bulgaria. When he
was In Sofia last fall he addressed
some very strong representations TO
the Bulgarian ministry for foreign af.
fairs and apparently he has not been
forgiven, for now information comes
that he Is persona non grata. A
minister or diplomatic agent, cannot
be retained at his place against the
will of the country to which he IL
accredited and that Is Mr.. Dicklnson's
position. 1t Is very probable, how.
ever, that this government, as a man

frain from sending another diplomatic
agent to Sofia though IL will not be
thus prevented from making any de-
mands upon the Bulgarian govern
ment In the matter of the Stone case.

seem to justify. The Bulgarian govern
ment has no representative in this

FIGHT FOR LIFE ENDS IN DEFEAT |
JURY OUT THREE HOURS
End Of Notable TriaI---Lawycr A. 7.
Patrick Adjudged Guilty OF
First Degree Murder.

Lawyer Albert T. Patrick Wednes-
day was adjudgcd guilty of the muir
der of his former friend. William NJ.
Rice. tho Texas millionaire. Tho
finding was rather n surprise to the
prisoner. lie had all along expressed
himself MS being sangulne of acquit-
tai but the jury seems to have made
up its mind before leaving the jury
box. as they took but three hours In
which to decide upon sending Patrick
to the electric chair. The issue of
the trial establishes the charge that
Patrick conspired with Rice's valet,
Charles +. Jones. to obtain possession
of the aged Texans estate, estimated
at S7.000.000. and that Jones killed
his employer by the administration of
chloroform at the direct instigation
of Patrick. The scene in the court
room when the Jury filed in was dra
matte in the extreme. The accused
lawyer when told to stand arose with
out visible sign of perturbation.
Calmly he stood erect, looking the
foreman of the 12 men who had de-
cided his fate square in the face. At
the word Guilty" not n sign was
shown of the great struggle that was
evidently going on in his mind. The
prisoners eldest sister created quite
scene. She ran about the court
room. screaming Historically, and 1t
required the efforts of her father and
several friends to remove her. 1t
is announced that an application for
a new trail will at once be filed. The

will. who testified for him at the pre-
liminary hearing before Justice Jer-
ONE, and we're indicted for perjury as

ably be moved for trial in about 10
days. What disposition will be made
of Charles f. Jones. the former valet

confessed on the stand that he placed
chloroformed sponge in a cone over
his sleeping employers face, no one

Conaress Is Supremc.

The Sena Wednesday continued
the discussion of the bill to tax col
ored oleomargarine 10 cents a pound.
Mr.. Hoar argued that the bill was prop
er under the right of Congress to regu-
late interstate commerce. Mr.. Vest
inquired II Congress had the right to
invade his State, where oleomargarine
was manufactured under State laws,
and tax the industry out OF existence,
when the oleomargarine made there
had not entered into interstate com.
merce. Mr.. Hoar replied that Con-
gress WAS in every State of the Union
as much as the State government was,
and as controlling power it was SUI
preme. MIR. Lodge urged that the
House provision regarding renovated
butter ought to be restored to the bill.
Mr.. Proctor In charge of the measure,
said that an amendment covering that
point probably could be offered.
The House Wednesday adopted with
ont debate the resolution offered by
MIR. Burleson, Texas, calling upon the
President for information relative to
the application of General Miles to be
assigned to duty in the Philippines for
the purpose of executing a plan for
pacification of the islands. Mr.. Burle-
son said the conduct of Secretary Hay
in regard to passports for Rev. Hiram
Thomas and wife to visit the South
African concentration camps and dis.
tribute relief among the Beers was an
aversion. Mr.. Breazeale, Louisiana,
denounced the Committee on Naval
Affairs for refusing to report the

plice of Czolgosz, the assassin OF

was near Czolgosz when the latter
fired the shot and was ready with two
revolvers loaded with poisoned bull
