Caesar Young, not guilty will be the plea
of Man" Patterson.
The proceedings will be formal. and the
accused will be taken back to her cell in
the Tombs to await her trial. which will
be reached before midsummer.
Though locked in narrow cell. denied
one little luxuries to which she has been
accustomed. Nan" Patterson is by no
means downcast. She seeks an early trial,
confident of her ultimate acquittal.
In this she is strongly supported by her
attorneys, who have all along intimated
that they expect their client will be freed
because of the inability Of the prosecution
to prove that she fired the fatal shot, 1t is
not at all certain that Man" Patterson
Even her relatives did not visit the young
ment.
1t was hot, trying Sunday. and she pass
ed the greater part of the day in nervOusly
pacing up and down in her cell. Miss Pat
terson declared that she had been treated
shamefully by the officials of New York
city. but she did not intend to weaken. She
was innocent
The police of the district attorneys office
still seek j. Morgan Smith, brother-in-law
of Miss Patterson. but have been unable

PoPULISTs FOR ROOSEVELT.
Ex-senator Butler on the Presidents
Strength in the West.

STAFF Correspondence of The Evening Star.
CHICAGO. June 20.-Speaking of the
political prospects. former Senator Marion
Butler, chairman of the populist national
committee. said today: I'VE hold our con-
vention on the 4th of July at Springfield.
Ill. l think 1t would have been better to
wait few days longer to see what the
democrats do at ST. Louis. but the members
of our party say they are satisfied about
the course to be taken at ST Louis, so they
could see use in waiting.
Some of our people in Nebraska and
Kansas want to put up a separate ticket.
Others prefer allowing the populists to vote
as they like. The fact is. If the democrats
nominate a man like Parker or Cleveland
nine-tenths of the populists will vote for
Roosevelt. They will do that as an indfca-
ton of their disapproval of the democrats
and because Roosevelt Is immensely popu-
la all over the country.
Even if we put out a ticket in Kansas
and Nebraska populiSts who do not want to
throw away their votes will be for RoOse-
welt. I am surprised to hear how the farm
ers talk about Roosevelt. Even the old
time Jackson democrats are talking Of vot-
ing for him. They say he is the first real
president We have had since jackson.
No one can beat Roosevelt. His popu-
larity. regardless of politics. Is enormous.
He will sweep the country.

which is to be submitted to the congress
of that country for ratification. This pro-
vides. in effect. that the gold currency Of

The Lily Whites Defeated.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
your recent editorial with the above
canton should meet with the approval
of every consistent republican ana
command the admiration of every hon
est American citizen, whether democrat
or republican. as the elimination or the
colored vote, If successfully maintained,
would be the legitimate stepping stone to
the Acknowledgement Of any undesirable
voter. whether white or colored native or
foreign born, whenever accidental ma
iorIty in order to retain its ascendency,
might find ii in line with its purpose 10
disfranchise any class of voters. The repuD-
lican party, founded in freedom. right ana
intelligence. cannot possibly retain It's hoia
on the masses of our voters unless Definite
and early action shall be taken against dis
reimbursement. whether in Massachusetts or
South Carolina, irrespective OF party ex-
pedences. The simple and effective rem
edy is found in refusing to admit all rep
resentatives and senator's to their respec-
tive seats until all such laws or enactments
shall have been rescinded or repealed. ana
the right OF franchise restored to every
male citizen not under twenty years OF
age or incapacitated by reason OF CONVICTION
for crime or in consequence of mental Inn
pairment as provided in national Constl-
tuition.
should not be deferred until our Supreme
Court shall have rendered decision deny
ing the constitutionality of all such dis
franchising enactments. whether found in
the north or the south.
The right to vote. within constitutional
restrictions should not be question or
denied by either state or national legisla-
ture even on the ground of illiteracy. al
though that would be an important con-
sideration. The true solution of the prob
lem OF illiteracy must be found In more
general education of both white and col
ored and a uniform effort to spread a larger
knowledge Of the elements OF good Citizen
ship.
With the right of representation in Con-
gress suspended. the disposition to dis
franchise. except on constitutional grounds
will soon disappear and every voter be-
come firmly established IN the exercise of
this inalienable right. God bless The Even
ing Star in this unequal contest.

APPROVES NEW NAME
COLUMBIAN TO BE GEORGE
WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY.
Secretary Hitchcock Favorably In
dorses Application Of the Trustees
Other Institution of Same Name.

The Secretary of the Interior has ap-
proved the application of the board Of
trustees of the Columbian University to
change the name Of that institution to the
George Washington University. and the
change will therefore be made, notwith-
standing the controversy which the su8-
gested change in the title provoked on the
part of another George Washington Uni
versity. The trustees Of the latter corpo-
rate body laid claim to priority Of title.
and proceedings were begun by which it
was hoped by them to prevent the change.
The discussion began some weeks since,
at the time of the meeting of the board OF
trustees of the Columbian University. when.
at the recommendation of President Need
ham, the trustees voted unanimously to ask
permission of the Secretary OF the Interior
to make the change of title. 1t was claim
ed by the partisans of the other George
Washington University, which was lncor-
porated on March %, 1904, that the second
one could not exist as corporate body
within the District of Columbia. the law
specifically providing that there cannot be
two corporate bodies of the same name in
the District at the same time.
ALLISON. who represent the George Wash
ington University, which brought the ac-
ton of protest against the change of name
of the Columbian, said today to a reporter
for The Star that the action of the Secre-
tary of the Interior in approving the appli-
cation of the Columbian to change its name
did not amount to anything of Importance
In the case. He said that the change could
not be made at the authorization of the
Secretary of the Interior, for the reason
that the law provides that the recorder
of deeds may not receive for record title
of body which applies for incorporation
by the same name as may be already In
use in the District by another claiment.
This would effectively check the further
move of the Columbian. he said. and the
matter would have to be finally fought out
in the Supreme Court of the District.

December II. One of her daughters, Mrs.
Oelrich, returning from market, found the
deceased lying on the floor. partly under
the kitchen range. She had been shot four
times. Later Weldon was arrested and
accused of the crime. The prosecution con-
tends that he had a motive for tho kai:Tg
in the fact that his wife would bec.,ne the
owner of the house in which Mr. and Mrs.
Weldon were then living. upon the death of
Mrs. BeaI. 1t is also claimed that very
short time prior to the murder Weldon in
dulged in pistol practice. AS the defendant
denies the charge, the prosecution is forced
to rely largely on circumstanttal evidence.
In connection with the impaneling of the
jury, George Hilton, David M. Anderson
and William Lawnlan this morning were
told to step aside because they had fixed
opinions regarding the guilt or innocence
of the accused. For the reason that they

BOOMING TAFT.
A Vigorous Movement Started by Elk
Secretary Long.

STAFF Correspondence of The Evening Star.
CHICAGO June 20.-Late this afternoon
a boom for Secretary Taft for the vice
presidency was started by the Massachu-
sets men. Former Secretary Long went
to Senator Foraker and asked him If the
Ohio people would support Taft for the
place. He was told that of course Ohio
would favor Secretary Taft. although for
the moment the Ohioans were somewhat
tied up with Fairbanks.
Mr.. Long then started out to work up a
Taft BOOM
The fact is very apparent this afternoon
that some of the prospective presidential
timber of 1903 Is opposed to handing Sena-
tor Fairbanks the nomination on a silver
tray They want him to ask for 1t. and
they will give it to him. knowing that 1t
would diminish his chances in 1903.
That is why Root and Lodge and others.
who are looking ahead four years, object to
having the nomination apparently forced on
Fairbanks. and thereby giving him free
rein to ask for the presidency in 1903.
Prominent men in several state delega-
tions said this afternoon that the Taft
vice presidential suggestion was being re-
ceived with signal favor. N. o. NJ.

PUBLIC PLAY GROUNDS.
Joint Meeting Of Committees-Reports
of Contributions

A joint meeting of the executive and Noel
House committees on public play grounds
was held in the central Office of the Assoc
ciated Charities, 81 G street. Friday. June
II, at pm, Chairman Cuno H. Rudolph
presiding.
Mr.. Burkhalter. the new supervisor of
ed bids for cleaning and leveling the
ground at North Capitol and L streets. and
that the work could be commenced as soon
as sanction was given by the committee.
The matter of apparatus, equipment and
training of volunteers was discussed. with
the general decision that all branches of
the work should be pushed along as rapidly
as possible and the grounds made ready for
use at the earliest possible date.
The committees are anxious to command
the playground activity to the people of
Washington and will leave no duty undone
which will enable Washington to have a
real model playground with sand boxes for
the smaller children, apparatus and places
for games to those of different ages, run,
ming track baseball diamond. croquet and
basket ball, jumping and other modes of
exercise and pleasure.
1t is expected that the greatest interest
will center about the ground at North Cap
itol and L streets, but many important
the other grounds and developments are to
be commenced In other places.
The committee is glad to acknowledge the
very welcome gift of so from the Peace
Club" an organization of little girls at
"Neighborhood House. 456 N street south
west Such gifts are very much appre-
ciated. especially when they show such
self-sacrif1ce on the part of the little ones.
1t was decided to set aside $50 for i'm
mediate use in equpping the ground at 10th
street and Virginia avenue southeast. as
some kind of playground in this section
of the city is of great necessity.
