FRANK JAMES MAKES PROTEST
Enters Injunction Suit Against The
RtricRl Company Bearing
His Name.

KANSAS CITY Feb. 10.-Frank James
today made application for an injunction
against the management of a play called
THE James Boys in Missouri" in which
the members Of Frank James family are
represented as being train robbers, bank
,looters and outlaws of the worst charac-
ter. The suit was brought, Mr.. James
says. because the play glorifies outlawry,
makes heroes of outlaws and is injurious to
the youth of the country. and besides, he
says 1t revives a reputation that came
to him in early life which he has been
trying to live down for twenty years.
The suit raises the question as to whether
or not a private citizen can be portrayed
on the stage without his consent. whether
it be to his credit or discredit The at
torneys argued the case late this afternoon
and the courts decision will be rendered
tomorrow.
The play was presented as usual this
afternoon and tonight.

REACH SOME REAL RESULTS
Presbyterian RevisiOnists Make Clear
Position ON Elect. Infant and
other Issues.

PHILADELPHIA. Feb, 1.-THE creed
committee of the Presbyterian church, now
sitting in this city, disposed Of eonsidera-
BILE work today, It coming to a definite de-
cision on several vital points in the con-
fessien Of faith. The work done is best
summed up in the official statement given
out by DR.. William H. Roberts OF this city,
the stated clerk of the general assembly
and the secretary Of the committee 1t is
this:
The work of the commltte so far as COM
pleted provides declaratory statement for
Chapter Ill OF the confession Of faith on
predestination, and also Tor Chapter x,
Section 8, on elect infants.
The secretary. DR.. William H. Roberts,
repeats his statement that the American
Presbyterian church does not teach that any
dying in infancy are lost.
The committee further has agreed to re-
vision of the text of the confession In the
matter of good works-Chapter xvi, Sec
ton z, of its being a sin to refuse an oath;
Chapter xxi, Section 5, and also to the pope
being man of sin, Chapter XIV, Section g.
1t also adds to the confession two chap
ters, one on the Holy Spirit and the other
on the rospel.
In explanation of the second paragraph of
the foregoing statement regarding DR.. Rob-
erts' reiteration that the American Presby-
terian church does not teach that any dy-
ing In infancy are lost, he said that he had
first made a statement to that effect last
week and that since then he has received
many communications from clergymen, re-
ligious newspaper editors and others as to
whether he had been correctly quoted. He
said he had solicited the individual opinion
Of each member of the committee and that
they were all of the opinion as he stated
It. The committee steadfastly refuses to
give out the text of anything it has finally
passed upon. 1t made exception to that
pertaining to Chapter xvi. Section 7, on
good works" This section is as follows
Works done by unregenerate men, al.
though for the manner of them they may
be things which God commands and OF
yet, because they proceed not from a hear
purined by faith, nor are done In right
manner, according to the word, nor to 3
right end, the glory of God, they are there,
fore sinful and displeasing unto God.
This section was revised by striking out
the words "are therefore sinful and"
The committee did not pretend to revise
the confessional but wanted to con1ine 1t.

Of the faith. 1t was found after an ex-

that to prepare deelaTatory statement thai

PATRIcWs COUNSEL ON STAND
Tells of Secrets which Accused Re-
posed in Him After Death
of Rice.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1O.-The trial of Albert
T. Patrick, charged with the death of Will
lam NJ. Rice, was resumed today after
lapse Of six days, owing TO the Illness Of
Juror.
The most interesting part Of the trial
today was the move Of the state in plac-
ing in the witness box John r. Potts, law
yer and banker and at one time at least ?
friend OF the accused. Mr.. Potts said
among other things that Patrick, a few
days before his arrest, but after Mr.. Rice's
death, had retained him as counsel and
that the tie had not been severed.
Mr.. House, of counsel for defense, OBJ
Jected strongly to the testimony being ac-
cepted by the court on the ground that
Mr.. Potts conversations with Patrick were
privileged. The court, however, allowed
Mr.. Potts to testify to matters prior to
Patrick's arrest.
The witness said he had known Patrick
since 1870. becoming intimate with him
in 1890.
He had never seen Mr.. Rice In Patrick's
ONCE, though the latter was In the same
suite as his (PottsO office.
Patrick had told him a rich client had
died and made him residusry legatee. Pat
rick had also shown him many of the docu-
ments now In dispute among the Patrick
will, and he had told Patrick he did not
think the will would hold. Patrick replied:
That's all right; the estate Is practi-
cally mine"
Mr.. Potts also advised Patrick not TO
fill out and use the blank checks purported
to have been given him by Mr.. Rice and
Patrick replied that he would use the
money as Mr.. Rice had Intended that It
should be used. Patrick had told witness
that Rice had named him as residuary leg
atee because of his personal regard for
him. He also told witness the day before
Rice died that he lad not seen him for a
week.
Then Potts swcre that the day after the
death Patrick brought him a check for
$25, 600 Fad asked him to get IL certified
This lie had done, as he had done with
other checks. The defense confined itself to
asking Potts II Patrick had told him he
was to receive the estate as trustee, and
the answer was that he had.
John T. Potter, the undertaken who en-
balmed Rice's body, was called and testi-
fed that he gave a sample of the fluid to
Professor Witthaus for analysis.
Andrew T. Ralph, as real estate dealer
at Houston, Tex, identified some letters
! written by Mr.. Rice, one Of which by Its
postmark showed that It was mailed after
Rice's DEATH He said he had had business
relations with Mr.. Rice for about six years
and never heard of Patrick in connection
with any Of Rice's affairs.
At this point the court was adjourned
until tomorrow.

possible without close commercial relations
between the two countries. He believes
a close commercial treaty will be neees-
sary. He felt that a reduction of so per
cent on Cuban sugar and tobacco imported
into the United States would be granted.
He also declared that the people would APP
preciate even a smaller reduction on these
products.
