Nav Necessitate a New
Trial For Nan Patterson.
The Girl Expresses Keen DisapOint-
ment. The Report of Morgan Smiths
Arrest is Denied by the
Police.
lBy the Associated Press

New York, Nov. 26.-The serious
illness of Edward Dressler, one Of the
jurors which was reported at the OPP
ening of court today, may necessitate
a new trial in the case of Nan Patter-
son, the former show girl who is
charged with the murder of Caesar
Young. An affidavit from the sick jur-
ors physician, VIII CHI was presented to
Justice Davis, said that the patient
bad suffered a stroke of apoplexy, and
that his condition is serious. AS this
vas the third attack fear was at once
expressed that Dressler might not be
able to resume his duties and the
work done during the past two weeks
would be set at naught.
Miss Patterson was in court when
the adjournment was announced. She
expressed keen appointment at the
sudden and unexpected interruption
IN the progress of the trial.
81 suppose this will mean Il new
trial" she said, as she was being led
back to her cell i'm the Tombs. Il am
sorry the juror is ILL., both for his sake
ana for my own. ! was sure the jury
would acquit me. If there must be a
new trial / hope it will come at once"
one of the rumors current today
was that J. Morgan Smith, Nan Pat
tCrson'S DrOthSr-in-l2W, who fed after
he had been subpoenaed to appear be-
fore the grand jury had been found
and was locked up at pol &c headquar-
tiers. This report was later denied by
the police, however. The prosecu-
zion has kept up an unremittins
search for Smith ever since he disap-
peare1. They charge that it was
Smith who purchased the revolver
with which Young was shot ana that
he would prove to be the strongest
witness if he could be found. Already
smith s photograph has been intro
duced in the case and identified, and
the prosecution has promised that the
pawn broker who sold the revolver
VII also identify the photograph as

Miss Patterson called on him and de-
clared that they had seen tho shoot

weapon in her hand. At that time
he says, the stories were considered
hysterical and the prosecution cast
the offers aside. Lately, however, sc
many eyewitness have come for
ward. SAYS Mr.. Rand, that it became
necessary to take some steps to rebut
their testimony and a special detail OF
detectives has been assigned to investi-
gate the stories of the witnesses as
quickly as their identity is disclosed.

yhe Records are Secret.

Collector Chamberlain received a cir
cular letter in the last mail from the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue pro-
hibiting the giving out by the collec-
tors of records in their offices or cop
les thereof, for purposes not contem-
plated by the internal revenue laws.
The order is of much interest, because
of the showing made recently that
where the United States collected
liquor taxes from nearly five hundred
dealers in Hawaii, the Territory en-
joyed revenue from less than one-ffth
that number.
The new circular prohibits the col
lector from giving to Territorial Off

able them to locate the four hundred
odd liquor dealers who do not pay the
required license to the local govern
ment.

YPTUS
FOR FUEL.

As the Board of Agriculture and For
estry is importing seeds of many varie-
ties of the eucalyptus species for the
forests of Hawaii. the following arti-
Gle from a late periodical win be of
local interest:
The sun power storage capacity of
the eucalyptus tree is claimed to be so
great that these trees will store up
about one per cent of the solar energy
received per unit area, and IN some
parts of Cape Colony it is considered
cheaper to plant forests OF these quick
growing trees than to import coal.
cit has been shown that eucalyptus
planted on a tropical mountain will
produce twenty tons of dense wood
per acre, in perpetuity. The planta-
ton will reproduce itself without fur
ther expense when cut, and, weight
for weight, the wood has as great or
greater heating power than coal. Most
probably, with forced growth and
proper attention each acre could be
made to yield about forty tons. To do
this a powerful sun, much rain and
forced growth are needed.
Looking over the map, it will be
seen that these natural conditions ex-
list over about eight billion acres of
the earths surface, and it has been
estimated that one-half this area I'M
der forest would yield the equivalent
of one hundred and sixty billions of
tons Of coal yearly, which is over
two hundred and eighty times the
worlds present consumption of coal.
Then, with the present tropical and
semi-tropical forests properly stocked
and worked, the yield would be equiv
alent to between thirty and one hun
dred and twenty times the worlds
present consumption of COAL
