Albany, N. Y, oct. I'm asking the
court Of appeals to grant a re-argu-
nlrnt in the cases of Albert I. Patrick,
now condemned to death for the allcg-
ed murder of William Marsh Rice.
ex-senator David +. Hill, in his brief,
submitted to the court, today, lays
emphasis upon the fact that Judge
Gray, who wrote the prevailing opin-
ion against Patrick, has a son, Henry
O. Gray who is an assistant district
attorney In New York and participa-
ted in the prosecution of his client. On
account Of this relationship Mr. Hill
argued that Judge Gray should not
have sat In the case and called atten-
ton to the fact that without his vote
the court would have stood evenly di-
vidCd
The statute provides that no judge
shall sit in case in which he is in
tercSted." Mr.. Hill argued that the
present circumstances came at least
within the spirit of the law and that
in a matter of life and death the point
was nn important one.
The opinion Of Judge Gray" says
Mr.. Hill shows that he either mis-
understood. ignored, or declined to
consider numerous important rulings
iniuriously affecting the rights of the
defendant. which the interests and
iuatice require should now be consid-
cred by this court on re-argumcnt.
Briefs for and against recruitment
we're presented to the court by Mr..
Hill. for the defendant and Assistant
Destrict Attorney Cans. for the people.
Til, nr1l q rpIrnpnt
Mr.. Hill asked for a re-argument
upon the ground that the court of APP
peala overlooked the point that the
trial court refused to receive evidence
that Or. Donlin. the coroncr's physi-
clan stated Immediately after the
autopsy that Rice died a natural death
and also the Evidence bearing upon the
cremation of Rice.
He held that the court did not give
due weight to the newly discovered
evidence Of the financial interest
which Doctors Donlin and Williams
had in sustaining their theory that
Rice must have died from Chloroforn
nor to the alleged promise Of immun-
ity to Jones, Rice's valet, in considera'
ton of his testimony against
Patrick.
Mr.. Hill particularly attacked the
testimony of james and the action Of
the court in accepting it.

The Wadsworth school in Lau-
rens county was established and
endowed by wealthy gentleman
named Wadsworth. This was a
co-educational free institution.
Mr.. Wadsworth leased a great
deal of property, much of which
was in the towns of Anderson
and Spartanburg. This lease
was for a term of ninety-nine
years, and the proceeds were to
be a part of the school funds.
Much of this property was lost
under the lease, and has given
material for long litigation. If
this school had received what
was intended by it's patron, it
would be one of the richest
schools in the south.

DRESS SUIT TOPSY
TURVEYDOM.

A recent appeal by college
president for the gift of dress
suits to students unable to buy
them for themselves called forth
wide comment, both editorially
and in communications from the
outside. AS feature marking
the social tendencies of the times
the dress suit offers a subject to
think over and one to be treated
eingerly or radically according
to the stress of fashions edlcts
in particular circles. Some COL
, lege boys of today plead that
< they will miss something worth
e getting at college unless they dis
t mort in clawhammers, and some
e old timers declare that they had
:. none in their day and had no
i / use for them anyway.
" IF it takes three generations
10 from shirt sleeves to shirt
in sleeves" the dress suit ought to
figure in the second of the three.

to make San Pedro a safe and capa'
cious harbor refuge. To effect this
and afford secure anchorage for vessels
of all sizes, the inner harbor needed TO
be dredged and an outer harbor con-
structed. The latter is being done by
the building of an immense breakwa-
ter, second to none In size, huge wall
of rocl; "a feet high, 100 feet wide at
base and 20 feet on top, and extend

This work, begun in 1900, is now well

the smaller of them, for two-thirds OF
the "Invinctble" Armada of 100 ships
