A MATTER OF SOME COMMENT.
Some Surprise Expressed Mt w. Il.
Stead Not Being Named Among
Cecil Rhodes Executors.

London, April 7.-The fact that w.
T. Stead's name was not among the
executors of Cecil Rhodes will has
given rise to some comment, for it
was generally understood that he was
closely associated with those desig-
mated to carry out Mr.. Rhodes aspi-
rations. In order to dispel any misap-
prehension, B. A. Hawksley, who was
counsel for Mr.. Rhodes, declares, in
an open letter, that the removal of
Mr.. Stead's name was not in any way
due to differences on the subject Of
the South African war, but are from
other causes, quite appreciated by Mr..
Stead, and which did honor alike to
both men. "In the far-back days."
writes Mr.. Hawksley, when Mr..
Stead expounded the common inter
ests of the English-spealdng peoples,
his acquaintance was sought by Mr..
Rhodes. The acquaintanceship rip
ened into close intimacy and contin-
ued to the last. Mr.. Rhodes recog-
nized in Mr.. Stead one who thought
as he did and who had the marvellous
gift of enabling him to clothe with
literary charm the ideas they both
held dear. AS Mr.. Rhodes frequently
said to me and others, including Mr..
Stead himself, the friendship of the
two men was too strong to be brok-
en- by passing differences about the
South African war"

TO THE ELECTRIC CHAIR.
Albert F. Patrick Sentenced For
Causing the Death of Will
liam Marsh Rice.
EXECUTION DAY SET FOR MONDAY, MAY 5
An Appeal VIII be Taken to the
Higher Court, Which VIII Act
"A Stay of Execution Pending De-
cision-The Prisoner Taken to
Sing Sing.

New York, April 7.-Albert T. Pat
rick, who was convicted on March &c
of the murder of William March Rice,
was sentenced, Monday, by Recorder
Golf to be put to death in the cleo
trio chair at Sing Sing prison on
May 5.
Rice died in this city on September
13, 1900. An appeal to be made to
the court of appeals by Patrick's
counsel will act as a stay of execu-
tion pending a decision by the high
er court. The recorder, in pronounc-
ing sentence, made no comment on
the jury's verdict.
To the customary question as to
whether the defendant had anything
to say why Judgment should not be
pronounced, Mr.. House, Patrick's
chief counsel, said he desired to make
n motion for a new trial, because the
verdict was contrary to law; because
it was clearly against the evidence;
because it was against the weight of
evidence; because the court erred in
denying the defendants motion to
advise the jury to acquit; because
the court admitted illegal and i'm
proper evidence against the defend
ants objection; because the court eX-
cluded legal evidence offered by the
defendant; because the court misdi-
rected the jury in matters of law; be-
cause the court refused to direct the
prosecution to elect upon which
count of the Indictment it would sub
NIT the question of the guilt or in
nOcence of the defendant, and be-
cause it did not appear from the rec
ord of the verdict of what crime the
defendant had been found guilty. The
recorder denied the motion for Il new
trial.
Mr.. House took an exception, and
moved for an arrest of judgment. This
was denied, and sentence was then
pronounced by the recorder. The
sheriff said he would take Patrick to
Sing Sing Monday afternoon.

A BULLET IN HIS TEMPLE.
Suicide of James Whitfield, Presi-
dent of the Western Base
ball League.
A VICTIM OF HARD WORK AND WORRY.
He Was Sporting Editor of the Kan
sas City Star, and That With His
Baseball Interests and Financial
Reverses Overtaxed and UnbaI-
anced His Mind.

Kansas City, Mo-, April flames
Whitfield, president of the Western
Baseball league, and for many years
sporting editor of the Kansas City
Star, committed suicide at his home
here early Monday morning.
Mr.. Whitfield was well known in
sporting circles throughout the west.
For the last ten years he has been in
charge of the sporting department of
the Star, and in that capacity has al
ways kept in touch with the politics
of the national game. He was active
ly engaged in baseball as early as the
eighties. He was one of the organic
ers of the original Western league
and was its first president. In 1886
his presence at the National league
meetings in Chicago and New York
and his pleas for Kansas City on
those occasions won for him its first
and only franchise in the big league.
Mr.. Whitfield was made secretary
of the club. The tornado in May of
that year spoiled the teams chances
of making money, by destroying the
grandstand and flooding the diamond.
In 1888 Mr.. Whitefeld again
acted as Kansas City's rep
resentative, this time at Ameri-
can associations meetings in
Cincinnati and New York, and he was
again successful in securing what he
went after, franchise for Kansas
City. That was the last active ap-
pearance in the baseball field until
he was elected president of the pres
ent Western league, at ST. Joseph,
last winter.
The work of organizing the new
league proved very great and since he
decided to head the league that is
fighting the American association,
Mr.. Whitfield had toiled night and
day. Recently the tax upon him be-
gan to tell, and for the past two
weeks he has been under a physicians
care. On March % he returned from
his last trip in behalf of the league,
from Peoria, and was compelled to
take to his bed.
Last week at the Great American
handicap shoot Mr.. Whitfield, by
sheer force of will, attended the six
days contest. Saturday last found
him on the verge of nervous pros
tration, and on Sunday he was out
of his head part of the time. Moth
ing serious was thought of his case,
however. Early Monday morning he
arose and dressed himself, and then
without making any remark, stepped
to the next room and fired bullet
into his right temple. He was dead
when members of his family reached
him.
Mr.. Whitfeld's plight is laid to
overwork and worry over financial
affairs. He had lost heavily on sew
eral enterprises in which he was in
terested.
Mr.. Whitfield was born in England
AZ years ago. He came to. Kansas
City in 1884, and with the exception
of one year, when he was proprietor
of The Referee, a small weekly, he
had been with the Star since that
time. He had lived in ST. Louis, Pc
oria and Pekin, Ill, and was married
in the latter city.

THE SHAH TO VISIT BERLIN.
The Shah of Persia VIII Pay His Re-
spects to Emperor William En-
Route to France.

Berlin, April 7.-Official circles here
confirm the report that the shah of
Persia will visit Berlin in May, and
will pay his respects to Emperor Will
lam. The shah is going to Contrexe-
vile, France, for his health, and in
quired of the authorities at Berlin
whether his visit would be acceptable
to his majesty, who answered affirma-
lively. The visit was designed to take
place last summer, but was post
poned owing to the mourning for the
late Dowager Empress Frederick.
The shah probably will come to
Berlin by way of St. Petersburg. So
far as Germany is concerned, the Wis
it is devoid of political significance.
