DAvISS SPEECH MAKES TALK.
Hut Lawyers Aren't willing to ID isouss This
New Turn in Patterson Case.

"But to-day, in the light Of the last disa
greement dn the Nan Patterson triaD,
feel sure that ma jorityof the people believe
that the pistol that killed Caesar Young wat
held by Nan Patterson, discharged by her
and was bought by, j. Morgan Smith in ar
attempt TO get money from Caesar Young
for the support Of the combined family
don't mean to say that she took the pisto
from the reticule and shot him in the side
but do believe that she had the pistol and
showed it to Caesar Young. An argument
followed and he took hold Of it. In the
conversation and subsequent struggle the
pistol went of and he was killed.
This statement by Supreme Court Justice
Vernon NJ. Davis who presided at the mis-
trial and first trial Of Nan Patterson. made
at the Phi Delta Phi Clnb banquet at the
Marlborough Hotel on Monday night, re-
vived yesterday discussion Of the Nan

Justice Davis had nothing To take from
or add to the statement yesterday. He
said he made the speech to q gathering,
most Of whom were lawyers. he thought,
and naturally discussed the legal case Of
the most interest When Justice Davis WAS

no suggestion that5tt should not become
public.
Justice Davis. but she made no defense
before Recorder Gof. In reference to her
testimony Justice Davis said:
People seemed to know that she was not
telling the truth and the great public Of
New York said: Why shouldn't she lie?
Let her lie. Let her get the benefit OF her
lies
Il believe that had she told the story on
the witness stand at the second trial as 1t
really happened-in other words had she
told the truth-the second jury would have
acquitted her. She adhered to her lies and
instead OF getting an acquittal, she got a
disa greement.'

NIGHT FREE 10 LIFE PRISONERS.
Miss PhlibrOOk suggests Point That
Lawyers Dread tn Tackle.


TRENTON, n, j., May is.-Miss Mary Phil
brook, one of the few women lawyers In
New Jersey, raised a constitutional question
sto the powers of the Court Of Pardons to-
day which, if valid threatens the release OF
every life prisoner in The State prison
She had appeared before the Court OF Par
dons on behalf Of Iibbie Garrabrant,
who has served thirty-three years in prison,
her sentence OF death having been COM
muted to one Of life imprisonment. Miss
Philbrook called upon Gov. Stokes to-day
and suggested that under the constitution
the Court Of Pardons is not vested with the
power to commute q sentence Of death to one
of life Imprisonment, and that by 30 doing 1t
usurps the powers Of the trial court by
fixing a new sentence. The constitution
empowers the Court Of Pardons to remit
fines and forfeitures or grant pardons In
all cases except Impeachment, but contains
no provision as to the Communication Of any
sentence.
This very question was propounded to
the Court of Pardons by Chancellor Magic
at recent session in which capital case
was under consideration, but was not passed
upon by the court, which agreed that 1t could
only Je IlndHy uAsPoscu VI ny LILO SouIt VI
Errors and Appeals.
Miss Phnbrook is unwilling to raise the
technical question In the case Of Libbie
Garrabrant unless by consent Of the Court
Of Pardons, because her client has received
the benefit Of the supposed right OF oom-
mutation, which saved her life. With the
courts consent, taoit or otherwise, she
would, however, like to make the Cara
brant woman the subject Of a test case
Gov. Stokes is known to be in favor OF
having the question decided finally, but
it is not 80 certain that the other members
OF the court will favor such a procedure
Attorney General McCarter is said to have
admitted that the question raised by Miss
Philbrook Is delicate one from u legal
viewpoint, though he has not been called
upon to express any official opinion. 1t Ia
admittedly true that in all capital cases
the Court of Pardons Is subjected to ex-
traordinary pressure, and should 1t lie
decided that il is without power to COM
mute, its powers would be practically
eliminated, except where it appeared that
an in Justice had been done which would
warrant full pardon.
There is no life sentence III New Jersey
except that resulting from q Communication
of the death penalty, and there are now
ter onvicts in State prison who are serving
such terms aud who in the event of a de-
cision that the Court of Pardons is without
power to commute will be either hanged
or liberated.

The Polar Cap of Mars.
tho Ney York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
Recent telescope observations at Flag
staff Observatory, Arizona, of Mars have
given the best delineation yet obtained of
the fiery planets north polar cap. Since
September last this formation Of snow over
the planets pole has been frequently seen
under varying degrees Of visibility. At
veil OF dull white color, apparently a veil
or haze or cloud. In January the cap was
brilliant and conspicuous surrounded by
white collar, which however, some months
later disappeared
In reporting these observations Mr.. Per-
civaI Lowell states that the collar is best
explained by supposing it to be a spring
haze surrounding the snow cap during the
hotter months of its melting. That 1t was
this and not the snow cap itself is evil
denced by it's lack of a definite boundary.
The cap is girdled during its contraction
by blue belt, doubtless due 10 the ma
teral formed by its melting, which, as Mr.
Lowell says, can be none other than water
from among all the substances we know.
Brilliant projections above the terminator
OF Mars were first discovered at the Lick
Observatory in 1890, and subsequent OBJ
serVations of the polar caps have made it
evident that they are snow or ice formed
under temperatures as low as those pre-
vailing on the earth's high mountain peaks
But while the Marian climates are gen
orally colder than those of our arctic re-
gions the summer suns on the rudy planet
are strong enough to melt its SHOWS, and
In 1894 it's southern snow cap vanished en-
tirely eight weeks after the solstice.

Appendix Becoming Rarep

From Everybody's Magazine.
How many veriform appendices are there
in the world today? A few savage and semi
civilized nations retain them. but the supply
in lands where the surgeons flourish must
be small, for Slasher has been at work all
over. Like a sportsman who cries Save
the buffalo," Mr.. Joseph Kidd, MD, Of
England, rises and cries reserve the appen-
dix and tells how 1t may be done. Chills
following overheating and imperfect masti-
cation make trouble for the appendix. The
grape seed of horrid memory deserves not
half the odium 1t has reeeived-and too
much aperient water ana salts are bad for
this mysterious organ, just as they are for
the rest of mans internal economy. Don t
let teh chill get you, chew the food thor
oughly - Gladstone masticated every
mouthful forty or four hundred imes-and
make nature do the work below the dia-
phragm without chemicals and drugs eX-
cept when a doctor says they are necessary.
We are the great drug swallowing nation.
We flood our insides with nostrums, fill
the intestines with mercury, and bolus
ourselves not merely when 1t Is unneces-
sary, but when it Is positively harmful. DR..
Legs and Doctor Arms properly employed
will cure most of our minor ills. Their
fees are nominal, and they pay big divi-
dends. Ten years ago war OF extermina-
ton was waged against the human appen-
dix. Today IL is regarded less as foe, but
many surgeons delight to cut. Many charges
brought against it were unfounded. Let
those who may preserve theirs; and let all
remember that surgeons do not work for
nothing.

tuberculosis From Bread.
From the Lancet.


At recent meeting of the International
tuberculosis Society DR.. Georges Petit
showed that bread is capable of being an
important factor in the propagation of tu-
berculosis. When the various processes
through which our passes on its way to be-
come bread are considered, it is easy to I'M
derstand that the successive manipulations
which the dough undergoes can easily IA
the introduction of the germs of tuber-
culosis.
1t is above all during the kneading process
that the danger is most patent. The work.
man heaves up q large lump of dough and
let's 1t fall grunting as he does so. This
dough are necessary to introduce air into
borers are affected with tuberculosis to the
proportion of some 20 per cent, il is easy
to see what facilities there are for the en-
trance of the tubercle bacillus into the
dough.
Moreover when the bread is baked il
does not attain a temperature of over 100
degrees centigrade in the middle of the
loaf, and the slight portion of time which
elapses between the baking OF the bread
and that of its consumption is favorable to
the dissemination of the bacillus of tuber-
cuIosis. DR.. Petit said that these facts
were confirmed by the experiments of Gal
tier and of Mace, as well as by his own.
The question is so important from an ali
mentary point OF view that 1t would seem
we'll to replace hand kneading by machn-
cry.
