THREE LOST GIRLS ARE FOUND
Asleep on River Bank After a Long
Tramp With Dolls.

Tramp With Dolls.
williamsport, Ind. April 26,-The
districted parents of three little girls,
aged 6, Z and 8 years, searched this
place Monday night in vain for the
children, and continued the search
several hours before the lost children
were found.
Blowing Of whistles called out the
entire population of the town, and
within an hour more than 200 persons
were searching in all directions. The
children had not been seen since early
in the afternoon, and it was believed
at first that they had been kidnapped.
The searchers divided into groups Of
ten or twelve and went thru the woods
and fields. Near midnight one of the
parties came upon the objects Of their
search near the Wabash river. The
little ones, tired out by their long
tramp, were asleep on the river bank.
The girls said they had started out
to the woods to play with their dolls,
and to search for wild flowers. They
lost their way and wandered on until
they could go no farther.

Conspiracy to Limit Production
Against Law Says Prince.

FRICTION ON CANAL BOARD.
Four Members Protest Against Serving
Except as Equals Of Executive

Four Members Protest Against Serving
Except as Equals of Executive
Trio.
Chicago, April 26. - A Washington
special to the Tribune says:
"The isthmian canal commission,
appointed on April 3 by President
Roosevelt, has had it's first difference
of sufficient Importance to warrant it's
presentation to the secretary of war.
-Four members of the commission have
presented to Secretary Taft a digni-
fled protest against serving in posit-
ions which made them appear not the
equals Of the executive committee, but
as subordinate to Chief Engineer Wal
lace.
Secretary Taft has called upon the
members of the executive committee
for their views, and it is understood
they have agreed to change the status
of the protesting commissioners so
they will officially and otherwise occu-
py the same plane as Mr.. Wallace.
This is the explanation of the visit
which Messrs. Harrod, Haines, Endi-
colt and Ernst, the protesting COM
missioners, paid to Secretary Taft.
There is another reason, it is re-
ported, but which. apparently, has not
been laid before Secretary Taft-that
the men named desired to go ahead
and formulate plans for the construc-
ton of the canal, but We're opposed by
the executive committee, composed Of
the chairman and two members.
When President Roosevelt dishapd-
ed the old commission and appointed
it's present personnel, the main idea
underlying his action was to minimize
friction, and thus to have complete
harmony in the construction of the
canal. The men were selected not
only for their ability but for their
personal qualities as we'll. What was
wanted was a body of men who should
be able to settle things for themselves
and not bother the president or secre-
tary of war about the mere execution
of Netails.
The difference of opinions is due to
opposing view of Secretary Taft's let
ter of instructions.

Testimony Of Police Captain.
At yesterdays hearing Police Cap
tain Sweeney told of conversation he
had with Miss Patterson soon after
her arrest, in which she said she had
put her hand in Young's pocket after
the shot had been fired, had looked at
the revolver, and then dropped 1t back
in the pocket.
The scenes in West Broadway.
where the shooting took place, were
gone over by witnesses, and the cab
driver who was on the box when
Young was shot was on the stand, but
the testimony did not differ materially
from that at the previous trial. When
Frederick Michaels, the cab driver,
was asked why he did not look In the
cab when he heard the shot fired he
replied:
TT wasn't my place. Suppose had
looked in and got shot"
Skeleton in Court.
While DR.. Riggin was being exam
ined headless and legless skeleton
was brought into court. Lawyer Levy
strenuously objected to its introduc-
ton, saying that it was unnecessary
and tended to prejudice the case
against the defendant. Miss Patter-
son was visibly affected.
Mr.. Levy questioned the witness
closely about the skeleton which was
used in the illustrations, and drew
from him admissions that 1t was con-
siderably smaller than the frame OF
Young and that he was not sure 1t was
made up Of bones of one person OF
even that the bones Of two sexes had
not been used. He could not be posi-
tive that the fourth dorsal vertebra
came from human being.

trial of Nan Patterson, charged with
the murder Of Caesar Young, began
today, it was the general expectation
that the prosecution would play the
its trump card. Ever since Miss Pat
terson was arrested the prosecution
has claimed the presence in court OF
J. Morgan Smith, the prisoners broth
er-in-law, would convict the girl OF
murder. When Smith fed before the
first trial they bewailed his absence
and declared that only his presence
was necessary to permit them to put
in evidence which would result In
conviction beyond doubt. The cease
less search for the missing witness was
prosecuted and finally just before the
girl was again to face her ac-
cusers, Smith and wife were
tracked to Cincinnati, arrested as fu-
gitives from justice and brought
swer to the charge of conspiracy Iii
connection with the Patterson casa.
1t is said nearly $4,000 was spent by
the district attorneys department in
the search for the Smiths and 1t is
believed that the real reason for bring
ing him back to New York was that
Smith might be confronted with Stern
the pawn broker, who, it is alleged,
sold the revolver with which Young
was shot. The prosecution claims the
revolver was purchased from Stern by
Smith less than twenty-four hours be-
fore the tragedy In the cab. This is
fatty denied by the defense. The
pawnbroker has already confronted
Smith since the latter was brought
back to New York, but whether he was
able to identify him as the purchaser
of the revolver has not been made
known to the public.
The first witness today was rep
resentative of we'll known arms man
ufacturing company who identified the
1SNolNSl eS d WedpoIl Iudue ny MS
company. He was followed by DR..
Charles Phelps of the board of police
surgeons, an expert on pistol wounds.
There was a wild scene in the cor
ridors around the court room this af-
ternoon, men and women fighting for
admittance after the noon recess
blocked passageways, tore each others
clothes and so jammed the entrance
that Recorder Golf, the attorneys and
jurors had the greatest difficulty in
making their way thru the struggling
crowd to the court room. Mrs. Nor
gan Smith, Nan Patterson's sister,
was called to the witness stand this
afternoon.
Joseph aHewitt, Jr, newsboy, de-
scribed the scene which he said he
witnessed in front of the cafe in Col
umbus Circle, on the evening before
Young was killed. He said he saw
Miss Patterson come from the door of
the cafe with a man. They were
quarreling and as the man put the
woman in the cab witness heard the
man say: you'll have to do it." The
woman replied Il won't" whereupon
the man slapped her face and pushed
her into the cab. The boy identified
j. Morgan Smith as the man whom he
saw with Miss Patterson. Hes
learned his lesson WELL" remarked
Smith, as he was led back to the
tombs.
