LEGAL-CRIMINAL
Judge on Patterson Trial.

JuGGS on PATTERSON ! rial,
General discussion of the Nan Pat
terson murder trial has been revived
by the remarkable comments of Su-
preme Court Justice Davis, who pre-
sided at the first trial and the mistrial
of Miss Patterson: His remarks were
made at the banquet of the Phi Delta
Phi club at New York. ''In the second
trial before me-" he said, referring to
Miss Patterson, 1.-THE moment she went
on the stand it was obvious that she
was telling falsehoods from the begin
ming to the end. The very air was
charged with the fact that she was
lying. Yet she was woman. She
was young. 1t was the right OF the
public to sympathiZe with her. Peo-
pie seemed to know that she was not
telling the truth, and the great public
Of New York said why should she
not lie? Let her lie. Let her get the
benefit of her lies In the light of the
last disagreement l feel sure that the
majority of the people believe that the
pistol that killed Caesar Young was
held by Nan Patterson, discharged by
her and was bought by ]. Morgan
Smith in an attempt to get money
from Caesar Young. 1 do not mean to
say that she took the pistol from the
reticuIe and shot him in the side, but
do believe that she had the pistol and
showed it to Caesar Young An argu-
ment followed, and he took hold OF IT,
In the conversation and subsequent
struggle the pistol went off and he was
killed. l believe that if she told the
story on the witness stand at the Sec
ond trial as it really happened the sec
ond jury would have acquitted her"
In a newspaper interview Miss Pat
terson expressed surprise at Justice
Davis comment and reiterated her de-
NAL Of having had the revolver or OF
having killed Caesar Young. 1t was
reported that she had signed con-
tract with Hurtig & Seamon to appear
in vaudeville for $4,000 week.

party considerations. One official was
quoted as saying that Democrats and
Socialists in the next campaign would
raise the cry of government ownership
Of all public utilities with much greater
effect if the government should under
take to operate a railroad and steam
ship line in direct competition with pri-
! vate parties.
It was asserted that Secretary Taft's
ket policy was to compel the attention
of congress, as during the last session
his recommendation that the policy of
| the commission be defined was ignored.
The action of the administration was
believed to have been stimulated by a
recent statement Of President Ramsey
of the Wabash before the senate COM
mittee when he asserted that the steel
rail pool was selling for 500 ton in
Canada the same rails which bring $2S
a ton in this country.
Report on Santa Fe Rebates.
Commissioner Prouty of the inter-
state commerce commission has rem
dered the report Of the commission as
to the alleged unlawful rates in the
transporta ton of coal by the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad COM
pany He says that the laws have
been grossly and continually violated
by this company during the past five
years so as to close the markets for
coal to shippers competing with the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company. He
declares further that the Santa Fe and
Colorado Fuel were virtually partners
in this business. In connection with
this report attention has been drawn
to the fact that during the period re-
ferred to Secretary of the Navy Nor
ton was second vice president of the
Atchison and vice president of the
Colorado Fuel.
President to Pay His Way.
President Roosevelt has caused it to
be made known that henceforth he
will accept no complimentary trans
portation from railroads or other COM
mon carriers and that he will by force
of his personal example try to discour-
age the practice among public officers
of accepting passes. This decision re
calls the recent remark of President
Stickney of the Chicago Great Western
that the president would do this if he
realized that he was transgressing the
law in accepting the courtesy Of free
transportation. The president also an
nounced that he was paying the trans
portation bills of his recent western
trip, amounting to something over
$1,000.

Attorney Morrison of Chicago was

had twenty or thirty exclusive con

but since the company was private he
believed it was not subject to the in

together with $20000,00O of improve
ments, one-third profits for ten years,
one-half profits for siXty-fve years and
the option of reducing the price of gas
to 50 cents or less, for the lease of the
gas plant owned by the city Of Phila-
delphia, the city councils accepted the

proyement company on May IS by an
