BOER PASTOR TO PREACH.
Will Describe Conditions in South Afri-
can Concentration Camps.

Rev. Mr.. Won Brockhuizen will speak
about South Africa in Dr. Parsons Church
on Sunday evening.
The clergyman was for time in the
same army with General Delarey. Pastor
Won Brockhuizen. at the breaking out of
the war, was in charge of a Presbyterian
Church in Pretoria.
He will tell of the condition of things
in South Africa from personal knowledge,
not seeking to inflame the passions of
neutrals, but setting forth the wrongs of
the women and children in the concentra-
tion camps.
There is book now in circulation,
credited to Conan Doyle, which seeks to
detract from the character of Pastor Won
Brockhuizen as a proper witness. No one
who sees the letters of Mr.. Won Brock
huizen and hears his plain, unyarnished
tale can be in much doubt as to the
truth of what he relates.

IN the Boer war from the beginning. and
more directly since his Oldest son re-
turned from South Africa after q seven

LABOR OPPOSED TO
SHIP SUBSIDY BILL
Knights Claim 1t Is Class
Legislation.
Will Amount to Gift of Millions to the
Rich-Set of Strongly Worded
Resolutions Adopted.

The Knights of Labor last night adopted
a series of resolutions, in which the pro-
posed ship subsidy bin is denounced in
the strongest terms. The legislation com
mittee was also instructed to send copies
Of the resolutions to the Senate and the
House of Representatives.
The action of the knights of Labor was
as follows:
Whereas this subsidy. if granted, will
simply amount to a gift of many millions
of dollars annually of the taxes taken
from the wealth-producers of the coun-
try. to a small coterie of enormously
wealthy individuals and corporations:
and
Violation of the Law.
Whereas many of the men and cor
porations to whom it is proposed to grant
this subsidy are engaged in criminal vio-
lations of the interstate commerce and
antitrust laws of the United States; and
Whereas no possible benefit can pos
sibly come to labor. and much injury to
the masses of the people viii result from
the enactment of this subsidy law, which
is simply class legislation for the en-
richment OF a few trusts and corpora
tions at the expense of the latorers, farm
ers, and legitimate business men; there
fore
Resolved. That District Assembly 66,
knights of Labor, hereby renew our pro-
test of last year against this subsidy
legislation, and we earnestly call upon all
friends of honest labor and honest gov
ernment to defeat the enactment of the
Frye subsidy bill or any similar class
legislation

EXPERTS TELL WHAT
ENDED RICE'S LIFE
Physicians Called by Defence
Say Cause Was Natural.
Counsel in Wrangle-Agreement That
Millionaire Died From Oedema of
the Lungs.

NEW YORK, March 13-The lawyers
| defending Albert T. Patrick, on trial be-
| fore Recorder Goff. charged with murder
ing William NJ. Rice. called three more
| medical experts today to back I'D their
theory that Rice died natural death and
| to riddle the confession Of Jones. the
| valet, that he chlorcformed Rice at the
| instance of Patrick.
DR.. Girdner Recalled.
The days session began with the cross
examination of DR.. John H. Girdner by
the assistant district attorney. DR.. Grid
ner said the cause of death was oedema
of the lungs.
Was there not some intervening
cause?' asked the prosecuting attorney,
between II in the morning, when DR..
Curry saw the patient and said he found
nothing the matter with the lungs. and S
o'clock in the evening, when the man

An intervening cause was not neces-

was sufficient
The answer did not satisfy the prose-
cutting attorney, who asked that it be
stricken out.
Answer Stricken Out.
The lawyers wrangled over that point
until Recorder Goff told them that they
acted like school boys. and ordered them
TO sit down and be quiet. But the an
swer was stricken out
DR.. A. A. H. Teuf. of Philadelphia, an
expert on the lungs, went to the stand
with a physiological chart by which he
explained 10 the jury the circulation of
the blood through the lungs. He said that
chloroform was not an irritant; that
chloroform did not cause Rice's death. but
that death was the result of the condition
of the kidneys and secondly the result of

Dr. Austin Flint was also called for the
defence. In his direct examination he said
that chloroform vapor was very slightly
irritating to the air passages when in

be applied to a person in the manner
described by Jones without waking that
person I'D.
What was the cause of death?" asked |
Mr.. Moore.
oedema OF the lungs said DR.. Flint.
MIR. Moore then started a long hypo- |
thetical case, putting in all of Mr.. |

case death could have been the result OF |

. DR.. Flint said that he could not answer |
because there was nothing about chloro-

al case.
Not Caused by Chloroform.
On cross examination by the assistant
