FIGHT TO THE LAST DITCH.
PATRICE'S CONTEST FOR THE
RICE MILLIONS.
Condemned Lawyer, In the Shadow of
the Electric Chair, Continues His
Action to Gain His Alleged Victims
Great weaIth-Argument in New York
Court of Appeals.

Albany. N. Y, Oct. 12.-Argument
was made in the court of appeals to-
day in the matter of the "Will of Rice,
deceased" in which Albert T. Patrick,
convicted of the murder of William NJ.
Rice, is fighting to reverse the probate
of the will of Rice The respondent is
John D. Bartine, one of the executors
of the probated will, who represents
more particularly the "Willliam NJ. Rice
Institute for the Advancement of Liter
ature, Science and Art of Houston,
Texas, proposed memorial to Mr.. Rice,
to which he bequeathed the bulk Of
his estate. Mr.. Bartine was represent
ed to-day by William B. Hornblower,
while Patrick, the appellant, was repre-
sented by John C. Tomlinson, Max j.
KohIer and Edgar J. Kohler. a.... u
The appeal is from the decision Of
the appellate division, first department,
sustaining that Of Surrogate Fitzgerald
in recognizing the 1896 will Of Rice and
repudiating as a transparent forgery
the instrument of later date put for
ward by Patrick.
Rice died September 20, 1900, aged
eighty-four, leaving an estate estimated
at $4,0OO,00O. The probate will bore the
date of September rs, 1896. s NJ
L In opposition came Patrick with an
alleged superseding will. dated June 80,
1900, in which but s25o,OOO was bequeath-
ed to the proposed Rice institute" and
the bulk of the rest OF the vast estate
to Patrick, who declared that he held a
certain secret trust" from Mr.. Rice.
Both the surrogate and the appellate
division remarked that the four sigma
lures of Mr.. Rice on the so-called 1900
viii, one on each of its four pages, were,
absolutely identical. and conceded even
to the hundredth part of an inch, as if
traced from a common original. They
emphatically declared that all were for
geries. Justice Mclaughlin, in the
unanimous opinion Of the appellate divi-
sion, declared that such an identity in
four signatures of a man Of eighty-four
years old, in the cery nature of things,
could not occur.
In the meanwhile Patrick was put
upon his trial for the murder Of Mr..
Rice, and was convicted In his argu-
ment to-day before the court Of appeals
Mr.. Hornblower, for the respondent,
said: Whether or not Patrick added
the crime of murder to that of forgery
is a question not involved In this case.
But that the alleged will of 1900 is a
rank forgerly is a demonstrated fact
which this court would be compelled to
find If it had jurisdiction to pass anew
upon the questions of fact" !;

TIPPING At THE CoMIoNS.
I'm Food Very Likely
Due 60 This.

A mass meeting of students was held
in Woolsey hall last evening to take ac-
tion in reference to the food which they
are being served with at the University
dining hall. There has been consider
able dissatisfaction.
Morris F. Tyler, treasurer of Yale
university, presided. He said that there
had been much criticism as to the food
and what was wanted was a remedy.
He thought that there might have been
some discrimination shown to certain
men by the walters and this he attribut-
ed to the habit Of tipping which has
sprung up in the hall. Continuing, he
said: 'TThe University hall is sort of
club, and in all well regulated clubs
the tipping habit has been abolished, as
it has caused friction among the mem
bers. 1t should also be abolished in the
dining hail. III speaking about order
in the hall he said that he could SYM
pathize with rough houses" in many
cases. but not in all. and that for the
general good they ought to be suppress
ed.
He then. proposed the following plan
as remedy for the existing conditions:
That five men be elected, including
graduates as well as under-g graduates,
as committee. He thought that this
committee ought to have representa-
tives from the senior and Junior aca-
denlic departments and from the senior
class of the Scientific school. The duty
of this committee should be to consider
all complaints and report them to Man
ager Deshon. If in special cases they
thought it advisable they should also
be submitted to Treasurer Tyler for his
consideration. The committee should
also be held responsible for order in the
hall. Mr.. Tyler stated that this was
merely a suggestion and that the men
could act on it as they saw fit. %
AT the conclusion Of the meeting mat
ters We're informally discussed and it
was decided that each table in the hall
should elect a delegate Tonight to at
tend convention which will be held in
Woolsey hall tomorrow night, and that
1t shall be the duty of these delegates
to elect the committee Of five, who will
be authorized to carry out Treasurer
Tyier's suggestions. There were about
500 present at last evenings meeting
and much interest was manifested.

back in she fold and fighting for Nc
CleIlan. Grout and Fornes, practically
the last support was knocked from un-
der the veteran leader tonight, and he
and his men practically admitted de-
feat. TT is now predicted that before
the present week is over a meeting of
the Kings county democratic executive
committee will be called and resolutions
endorsing the entire democratic ticket
will be adopted. This is the policy out
lined tonight by McCarren. who now
has the votes, to put his programme
through.
At a meeting tonight attended by
representatives of various German So
cieties of Manhattan and Bronx bor-
oughs, ex-sheriff William F. Grell an
nounced himself as an Independent can
didate for sheriff. The meeting nomi-
mated him and started the circulation Of
a petition to have bis name printed on
the ballot. There is to be no other
name on his ticket. The petition will
bear the name of the German Democ-
