ENTERED COURT JAUNTILY.
"Nan'' Patterson's Appearance at the
Bar in New York.
tch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, November 49,.
Gowned as If she were out for morning
walk along 9Th avenue, New York, Miss
Patterson stepped jauntily into the court
room at 10 o'clock. In a new and handsome
dress of black wolfe, black hat with double
flowing VEIL she was picture of healthful
womanhood. No CHASTITY prison pallor was
on her face as an evidence of her confine-
ment. Instead her cheeks were full of
the bloom of roses and her eyes sparkled
with animation. For aught her manner dis
closed she was in court as spectator In
stead of prisoner at the bar.
AS bailiffs entered the rear door with the
accused woman a hush fell over the room,
in which every seat was taken, and outside
were big detail of policemen, who were
endeavoring to maintain order In a big
crowd which were denied admission. Miss
Patterson had not taken three steps into
the room when the spectators rose from
their seats to turn and look at her.
sit down, every one sit down." roared
the police captain in command, but they
did not hear him, and he had to threaten to
clear the room of all spectators unless alb
solute order was maintained. Without
moving her head to look to either side MISS
Patterson walked step in advance of her
guardians.
The gate in the rail was opened for her
and then she met her father. He had pre-
affectionately threw his arm over the back
of her chair.
1t was evident he intended sitting with
her during every minute of trial.
In seats ct a small table inside the rail-
ing were her attorneys, Abraham Levy
Henry Unger and Dan'l OReilly. They
spoke to her pleasantly. and Mr.. Levy
whispered to her every minute.
Representing the district attorney were
Assistant District Attorneys Rand and
Caravan. Mr.. Rand is considered by Mr..
Jerome a fit successor Of James Osborne.
who conducted prosecutions in two Moli-
neux cases and in other important trials
including the special sessions inquiry into
the Walter Brooks murder.
Sprinkling of Women Present.
Most OF the seats in the court room had
been reserved for the special panel, which
had been called from which to select a
jury. Attorneys who looked over the names
said the panel was of exceptionally high
order. They were practically all solid busi-
ness men, Throughout the room there was
a sprinkling of women many of whom
were as gayly dressed as though they were
attending the horse show. These seemed
particularly anxious to see the accused
woman. AS soon Justice Vernon NJ Da-
Wis took his seat on the bench details OF
the trial proceeded.

employees EXPRESS REGRET.
The Misunderstanding That Resulted
in Col. Brownlow's Dismissal.

In Col. BrownloW's Dismissal.
General and genuine regret Is expressed
by employees Of the Post Office Department
as result Of the dismissal by order of
President Roosevelt of Col. John B. Brown
low of Tennessee. for twenty-four years an
employe of the postal service and a son of
the famous "Parson" Brownlow, at one
time a senator Of the United States As
was told in The Star yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Brownlow was dismissed by the Pres
ident on the ground that he had been
guilty Of "impertinence and insubordina-
tion.'
The alleged 'impertinence" of which Col.
Brownlow was declared guilty was contain
ed in a letter written to Postmaster General
Payne on January 10 last. The paragraph
in question reads as follows:
$50 far as l am personally and officially
concerned, l should not regret If a COM
mission appointed by the President or a
committee of Congress should thoroughly
investigate every department of the govern
ment as relates to its participation in expo
sitions. believing that such investigation
would rebound to my credit as man and
an official. and would be a CLEAN of sun
shine in the shadow Of the Post Office De-
partment's malodorous reputation"
The letter in question was the result of
inquiries made by the late Postmaster
General Payne with regard to expenditures
at the st. Louis exposition, where Mr..
Brownlow represented the Post Office De-
in view of this fact it is only fair to Colonel
Brownlow to say that with the letter con-
tanning the alleged impertinence he sub
mitted to the Postmaster General an item
lied account of his expenditures. which has
been investigated and found to be correct.
No reflections were made on Col. Brown
lows integrity at the time, but nevertheless
early in January he asked that an i'm
mediate and thorough investigation be
made of his accounts.
This was not done, however until last
June when Post Office Inspector Mayer
went over Col Brownlow's books and sub
mtted a report in his favor. Five weeks
later John d. Sullivan, another post office
inspector, again went over Mr.. Brownlow 5
accounts, and also gave him a clean bill OF
health.
Col. Brownlow had long experience in
postal exhibits and expositionS, having
served at the Nashville Omah a, Buffalo
and Charleston expeditions prior to his APP
pontment on the St Louis board. and was
considered to be particularly well qualified
for the work. The misunderstanding be-
tween the late Postmaster General and
himself was due to the fact that Mr.. Payne
asked for an itemiZed statement of &C
counts before Col Brownlows usual time
for submitting such memoranda. causing
the latter to believe that his integrity was
being questioned. From this and other in
cidents of an equally unfortunate nature
grew the controversy which resulted in the
writing of the alleged impertnent letter
and which finally eliminated in Col. Brown
lows dismissal. Col. Brownlow refused an
offer to retain his position by making a re-
ira elton of the language considered Of

MANEuvERS NEXT WINTER.

Several times this paper has referred
to the probability that the Navy De
partnent intended, last winter to have
joint maneuvers of the Asiatic and
North Pacific fleets at Honolulu, plan
that was changed only because of the
Panama outbreak. The fieets-or
MISUNDERSTANDING came, but not
together. Our view OF the primary in
tent was borne out at the time by the
statements of the Army and Navy
Journel. in line with which We find in
an old copy of the St. Louis POST
Dispatch, this paragraph of an inter
view with Rear Admiral Henry c. Tay-
Tor then chief of the Bureau of Navi-
cation:
Even now the Pacific force, under
Admiral Glass, would be on its way 70
join the Asiatic fleet under Admiral
Evans. at Honolulu, were it not for the
need of its presence at Panama to pre-
serve order along the line OF the rail-
way, according to our treaty obl1ga-
TONS
The great work before US is to per-
feet this feet and squadron organiza-
ton. To perfect their mobility, to OBJ
tain more officers, in order to give rest
TO the present hard-worked and scanty
number, to perfect the system of mess
ing aboard ship for the enlisted men,
to enlarge still further their liberty
ashore, to train them for higher ratings
in the navy. to encourage their athletic
sports and in every other way to pro- |
mote their efficiency and decrease
assertions, to educate successfully |
the increased number of midship- /
men at the naval acadamy, and, in a /
general way, to keep the whole fleet in
that condition of readiness and pre-
paredness for war, which is at all times
the surest guarantee of unbroken
peace.
The point we wish to make is that
Honolulu ought to press the Navy De-
partment to have joint maneuvers here
next winter. Southern California will
try to get them but as the distance is
too great for the Asiatic fleet to
traverse when a midway, cable-con-
nected station like this exists, the
claims of Honolulu can be brought to
bear eonvincingly. But they will need
men of intelligence and pull behind
them, as nothing can be expected of
the probable Delegate. Our CONNER
cial bodies will know what to do.
