PATRICK WILL NOT
GET THE RICE FORTUNE
Court Decides That the
Will He Offers Is a
Forgery

Albany, N. Y. Oct. 28.-The Court Of
Appeals has placed a final negative
upon the attempts Of Albert T. Patrick
to obtain the vast fortune Of the de-
ceased millionaire. William M. Rice,
for whose murder he was under sem
fence Of death in Sing Sing prison.
The court handed down a decision af-
frming that Of the lower courts. which
threw out as forgery the alleged will
Of Mr.. Rice which Patrick urged as
superseding that admitted TO probate
by Surrogate Fitzgerald. The decision
by the highest court is made without
comment or opinion, an unusual thing
in a case of so great importance. The
Will Of Mr.. Rice, thus sustained, makes
no mention of Patrick the bulk Of the
estate, estimated at S4,00O,000 or more,
being bequeathed to the proposed
William M. Rice Institute for the Ad-
vancement of Literature, Science and
Art" Of Houston, Texas. The will pre-
sented and urged in this appeal by
Patrick left comparatively small be-
quests to the Rice institute and the
bulk of the estate to Patrick,
The next stage in the extraordinary
case will be the argument of Patrick's
appeal from the conviction of murder
in the first degree and the consequent
sentence of death.

Frlry amount Of Withdrawals by
n ings depositors were noticeable in
rhe other banking institutions. The
run. so far as IL can be traced, was
started by a disquieting rumor from
the outside that seemed to strike St
Louis TO the effect that the savings in
stitutons wore unsound. With rush
the corridors Of the Lincoln Trust
Company and the Mississippi Valley
Trust Company were filled with men
and women. all eager to withdraw
their money. The scene in any one
bank was duplicated in the other two
A line OF people with bank books in
their hands and faces eagerly scanning

tellers stretched out into the street and
intermingled were policemen and bank
officials counseling calmnesa and Civ
ing assurances of solvency.
II is stated that the rumor that
started the run came from Chicago
and was to the effect that two direc-
tors of the Mississippi Valley Trust
Company had recently endeavored 70
negotiate loan of s2.000,OOO in that
city and had been refused. This rumor
was pronounced an absolute canard by
the directors concerned.

A DISTINGUISHED scientist claims

A DISTINGUISHED scientist claims
to have discovered a method for
turning silver into gold, another
one announces that he can change
copper into gold, and still another
thinks he has found way to make
gold from slate. These things are
wonderful if true, but still more
wonderful things happen right
along in the Red River valley, where
every farmer has a method Of his
own for extracting gold from the
common black soil found in such
great abundance all over the valley,
and his method is undoubtedly the
surest That soil with the assist
ance Of a little bit of rain and some
sunshine will produce a crop of
golden grain, better than gold and
easily transformed into the yellow
metal, and the operation can be re-
peated every year. Red River val
ley soil beats the alchemists and is
an inexhaustible gold mine.
