 New Orleans, Oct. 2-The announce- ment of President Roosevelt's decision to visit New orleans on his forthcoming trip to the south caused much gratih- cation here to-day, and 1t was regarded as certain to give fresh stimulus to the fight now in progress to drive out the yellow fever before the end of the pres ent month. The presidents refusal to be swayed by the fear of personal risk. which so many influences have pressed upon him, has further commended him to the people of Louisiana, and there is on every side a disposition to make his. reception markedly cordial.
 Mayor Behrman said to-day that the arrangements for the reception would be pushed with enthusiasm, and that he felt confident that the president would find himself as safe in New Or leans on October 26 as if he were then in his own home. If he desires to do So during his brief stay the president will be permitted to visit the emer- gency hospital, which Dr. White and his associates of the marine hospital service regard as perhaps the place in the city most certainly proof against the danger of infection. It Is expected that when he comes the president will desire to visit Dr White and learn from him personally something about the struggle that has been so success fully carried on, and Dr. White will take that opportunity to extend an in- yitation to visit the hospital.
 To-day's report was most encouraging in the matter of new eases for any Monday since the fever started. With the exception of four all the public schools opened to-day with a large en- rollment of pupils.

DAVID B. HILL ASKS FOR RE-
 ARGUMENT OF CASE.

--SN@~e-NS SAN9~ -SANSt AAU O1rsA
 Against Reversal of Accused's Con-
 viction, should Not Have Sat in Case
 as Son Was Member of Prosecution
 District Attorney Jerome Retorts
 That the Intimation is as Contempti-
 bIe us 1t is Impudent.
 Albany, N. r., Oct, 2.The case of Albert T, Patrick, who since March 26, 1902, has been under conviction of the murder of the aged millionaire, William Marsh Rice, in New York city in 1900, came again before the state court of appeals this afternoon in an aspect as remarkable as any of the previous phases of this case, which throughout has been one of the most extraordi dinary in the criminal history of the United Sates. .s.s ,s
 Patrick's counsel, former United $ States Senator David B. Hill presented brief in support of his motion for a re-argument of the case which was de- cided against Patrick by the court last June by a vote of to 3; Tn the course of this brief he points out that q son of Judge John Clinton Gray, one of the judges of the court of appeals and one of those who voted against the reversal of Patrick's conviction, was an assist ant district attorney of New York county and participated in the prosecu- ton of Patrick and that therefore he should not have sat in the case.
 The opposing brief of District Attor- hey Jerome, drawn, it is said by the late ex-Justice Judson S. Landon, a short time before his recent death, and filed by Assistant District Attorney Howard Cans, characterized Senator Hills comment upon Judge Gray's par ticipation in the Judgment of the court as being such as ''tlo degree of en1i- hence in counsel could render respect able" .-
 "The suggestion that Judge Gray vio- lated the proprieties in taking part in! this case is as contemptibIe as it is inn pudent," the district attorneys brief declares
 The legal history of Patrick's case may be summarized as follows: Arrest ed October 4, 1900; trial begun January 20, 1902; convicted March 25, 1902; put in death house at Sing Sing, April l, 1902; appeal for new trial February 1O 1908; petition for new trial denied by the trial court, March 3, 1908; argu- ment on appeal to court of appeals postponed for second time May 20, 1904: argument for re-opening case February 12, 1905; arguments for new trial March 15, 1905: court refuses to grant new trial affirns conviction June 9, 1905; refuses stay of execution June IA, 1905; execution set for August, June 16, 1905: motion for re-argument and stay of ex- ecution granted July 24. 1905; renewal of motion for re-argurnent, October 2, 1905.
