RUSS|A'S DEFENSE
IS READY
Evidence of Presence of
Torpedo Boats Said
to be OverwheIm-
irg
(By the Associated Press.)


Paris, Dec 24.-The Russian defence
before the International Commission
which is to inquire into the North Sea
incident is practically completed. The
main features are:
First. That the firing by the Rus
sian squadron was justified as a de-
fence against attack. This entails
proving the presence of Jaanese tor
pedo boats. The Russian delegates
inform The Associated Press that they
possess this proof in the most positive
and overwhelming form.
Second. That even if the Russians
were not attacked they believed they
were attacked and therefore tn de-
fnsive measures taken were in absolute
good faith.
Third. At most it was an accident
at sea where the dangers and risks
are extreme and analogous to the Brit
ish battleship Camperdown sinking the
British battleship Victoria and the re-
cent firing by British warship upon
a coasting, vessel during target prac-
tice. The preliminaries of the COM
mission have clearly shown that the
British are anxious for a prompt dis
posal of the case while the Russians
do not object to delaying it. There

Having Done This to Democrats anu

Declares He's Begun tie
Campaign for 1908.
(By the Associated Press

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 4.-Hon. Thomas
z. Watson, the recent candidate for
the Presidency on the Peoples Party
ticket, was seen to-day by a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press, and
he made the following statement on
the political situation
THE campaign of 1904 was but a
prelude to the campaign of 1908. The
start had to be made and it seemed
to me a vital necessity to start at n
time when both the old parties were
openly pledged to plutocracy and class
legislation. The Republicans stood pat
for every evil of the present system
which builds colossal fortunes upon
the false basis of special privilege.
The Democrats led by place hunters
and time servers. ravenous for the
spoils of office, shamelessly abandoned
every Democratic principle and trans
ferred their standard to the hands OS
the gambler. the monopolist and tne
Wall Street corporations. At such a
time when both the old parties were
down on their knees to class legisla.

one preach the gospel of equal rights

and Lincoln did, in the rule of all for

made the fight for Jeffersonian prin-
ciples. All things considered the sup.

Therefore, / am resolved to devote
the next four years to a campaign Of
education, in which all governmental
questions will be discussed and the Cit

cies of municipal, state and nationai

New York, Dec. 24.-Brought to this
city last night from Texas, through
the persistent efforts of District At
torney Jerome, to face a charge of
perjury in connection with the Morse
Dodge divorce tangIe Charles +.
Dodge, former husband of the present
wife of Charles w. Morse received his
liberty to-day upon the recommends
ton of the district attorney, who per-
sonally appeared before Judge Cowing,
in the district court of General SEES
sions, and asked that Dodge be dis
charged on his own recognizance.
This turn in the case follows an all
night conference at police headquar-
ters, where Dodge was taken immedi-
ately upon his arrival here and during
which it is said he made a confession
that will lead to the making of serious
charges in connection with the Morse
Dodge case against seven men OF
prominence in this city. 1t is said that
Dodge will go before the grand jury
which at Mr.. Jerome's request was
continued in session through Christ
mas week and that he will be the
chief witness of the state in the prose-
cution of the men said to be impli-
Gated by his confession.
Ex-Assistant District Attorney
James w. Osborne, the new counseA
for Dodge, who was Sresent throughs
out last nights conference had prevI-
ously advised Dodge to tell all he
knows.
Mr.. Osborne says he feels that
Dodge will never see the inside of a
prison.

Cowing, District Attorney Jerome after
relating the incidents connected with
the prisoners arrest and extradition
from Texas, asked that the transfer
of the prisoner from Federal to State

HER YULET|DE IN
THE TOMBS
Reduction of Bail For
Nan Patterson is Re-
fused. New Evil
dence.
(By the Associated Press.1

New York, Dec. 24.-Nan Patter-
sons last hope of spending Christmas
with her parents at their home in
Washington, vanished today when
District Attorney Jerome announced
that lie would not agree to a reduction
of her bail. This was taken to mean
that the show girl will again be tried
on the charge of murder of Caesar
Young. Her bail had been previous
ly fixed at $4,000.
When the district attornel made
his announcement, Daniel O'Reilly,
of counsel for Miss Patterson said:
This surely means that there will
be a new trial. We are anxious that
it will be called soon and will make
every effort to have it called as soon
as possible"
Afterward he said that counsel had
decided not to attempt to get any bail
unless the district attorney does not
promise a speedy retrial. Counsel,
he said, believed the safest place for
Miss Patterson was in the Tombs, as
she had been there so long.
The urgency for new trial on the
part of the defense was due. Mr..
O'Reilly said, to the fact that the de-
tense has found some new, and what
they consider, important evidence.
Part of this. he said, was the finding
OF some 0Z-cdllDre DulIelS III IOunS
trunk. Mr.. O'Reilly said that Prose"
cutor Rand admitted the finding of
the bullets, but contended that they
belonged to Mrs. Young.
The news that she could not be adj
mitted to bail was broken to Miss
Patterson as gently as possible, but
she broke down completely after
making a brave show of cheerfulness
all day. Even though she knew she
would have to remain in the Tombs
over Christmas she had hoped she
might be released on bail next week.
Miss Patterson seemed in much
better condition today both physically
and mentally than yesterday. 1t was
only with the greatest efforts that the
hysteria that marked her iast appear
ance in court was controlled but she
fell asleep about midnight and rested
well. When she arose this morning
there was a sheaf of letters.
One telegram read:
your friends now you are inno-
cent and we wish you the happiest
Christmas one can have behind prison
walls"
