AUTOPSY OVER
BODY OF YOUNG.
Was Unable to Say
Whether Wound Was Self.
Inflicted or Not.
fRy Associated Press.l


NEW YORK. June Am autopsy was
performed on the body OF Frank T.
Young this afternoon. At the conclu-
sion Of the autopsy the examining ply
sician said he was unable to say whether
the wound was selt-infl.oted or not. The
bullet entered the body high up on the
left side. It had a downward course.
passed through the left lung and lodged
in the fourth vcrtebrae. IN
Later in the day the coroner COM
mltted Mrs. Patterson to the Tornbs
without ball. There was no formal ac-s
cusation made against her. but the COR
oner decided 1t was better not to COM
nit her as witness.
Young was an nglshman by oirtn.
He was brought to this country In 1850
BY the old Manhattan Club as repre-.
sentative amateur athlete OF England
Young several years ago purchased race e
horses. one OF them being "Eofuc.I.
which won the Burns handicap. one Of
the big stake races in California. Mira.
Young, then a bride. trained the horse
and nearly $4,000 was won BY them on
the race. Young brought q string ct
horses east with him when he came
here about month ago. The most noted
Of them are Cunard and Watercourse.

rake contests could easily be gotten up
in every city, county and district IN the
state and there would BIO no uncontested
delegates, and therefore nobody TO select
q. committee on credentials or to 90
ANYTHING. and the convention could not
BIO held for lack Of anybody to organize
It, It seems to me that this conclusion
cannot be avoided ard 1t Is no answer
TO 1t to say that there will not be
enough contests In this convention to
affect its organization. even If both sides
IN every contest are excluded Tampa
rarily. It Is the principle that l cail at
tention to. and then, too, enough of such
contests might be gotten up as to affect
the result in each congressional district
meeting If this idea OF exclusion be car
ried out.
Again, 1t Is contended that a tempo
rary roll ought to be made up and that
those delegates whose credentials arc
signed by the chairman of the county or
city from which they come shall be
recognized as having prima facte rights,
and be placed on the temporary roll.
This would be worse than the exclusion
theory. Such a plan would make the
complexion OF the entire State convention
depend on the bias of the different coun-
ty and city chairmen in the State. for
in every case where a chairman. knew
that his followers could not carry a-city,
county or district. he could have his
followers get up fake contests, sign the
credentials Of the fake contestants, have
them put on the temporary roll; they
could 90 into the congressional district
meetings; aid in the selection Of mem
bers Of the committee on credentials
which committee could pass on their
cases and seat them. Hence. the whole
complexion of everything would depend
on the bias and honesty Of the various
city and county chairmen. Surely no.
such opportunity for fraud ought to be-
given, Then. too. any city or county
chairman, under such ruling, would be
able to keep any man In his county or
city. however prominent or popular, from
taking any part In the real proceedings
OF the State convention until practically
everything was done. All he would have
to do would be to have somebody get up
fake contest against some one that he
did not want to go as delegate. be
he United States senator, congressman
or what not, and sign the credentials OF

ACADEMIC BUILDING.

AMHERST, VA, June 1.-The main
academic building OF Sweet Brlar 1nsti-
tute Is now nearing completion. There
is also nearly finished a dormitory and
a refrectnry.
II will be remembered that about four
years ago. Mrs. Indianna Fletcher Will
laims died in this county. leaving an es-
tate appro,dmnting about three-auartcrs
OF a million OF dollars. After some small
requests to relatives and friends the
vast bulk OF this estate was devised tn
trustees for the establishment OF fe-
male school at Sweet Briars' the homo
Of Mrs. Williams. The trustees have had

and when these plans shall have been
fully carried out the school will have
the finest building OF any female school
In Virginia, and possibly In the South.

magnificent estate OF about $500 acres.
IT lies on the Southern Railway between

where the school will DO located Ia only
about three miles from here while parts

Southern Railway has given the school
permission to erect a depot at a point on

will soon be begun on the depot and

tons as 1 have anticipated would be the
result OF the adoption Of either OF the
above contentions: for I do not beneVe
that the Dem ocratic party Of the State
has rot enough bad men In 1t to carry
out any such schemes. but such resulls
would be rendered possible. and SUD
nit that 1t Ia not wise to open sucn2 q
door for possible fraud or establish sucn
precedent. !.
Il seems to me that while no plan is
entirely free from objection. that the
best thing to do would be to let the DIS
trlct committee from each congressional
district pass temporarily on each con-
test from that district and make up
temporary roll emitting those on 1t to
participate In all proceedings Until the
committee on credentials reports, or. II
that looks too much like localizing such
question, let the full State Central Com
mittee pass. temporarily on all contests ana
make I'D such temporary roll, with the
understanding that those on 1t should
take part in everything. except the vote
ON report OF the committee on credentials,
until their rights are finally passed upon.
| It might be said that these district COM
mittees or the State Central Committee
| would also be biased In making up this
temporary roll, Thesreply to that is that
somebody must be trusted. and they are
certainly freest from bias. having been

The Supreme Court Of the United States
\ itself may be biased by prejudice In
some cases, and so may be the best
human tribunal ever organized. But au-
thority must rest with some one. and !
submit that In such case as this the
State Central Committee is the best tri-
bunal in existence to pass temporarily
or these contests.
I submit these views for what they
are worth to the delegates to the State
convention and to the members Of tho
State Central Committee.
