INDICTMENTS AGAINST NAN PAT.
TERsoN, HER SISTER AND
BROTHER-IN-LAW
TWO LATTER ARRESTED IN CINCINNATI
CAPTURED AFTER A CHASE EE.
TENDING EVER SINCE MUIR
DER OF YOUNG.

New York, March 31.-The case Of
Nan Patterson, who is awaiting trial
on a charge of having murdered
Caesar Young, was again before the
grand jury during Eae day. Several
witnesses, including the widow of the
dead bookmaker and Mrs. Young's
brother-in-law, William Luce, were eX-
amined by Assistant District Attorney

Nan Patterson, charging them jointly

PRESIDENT or VENEZUELA Dis
PLEASED WITH AMERICAN
MINISTER BOWEN.
new MAN MIGHT SETTLE DISPUTE
BASTRO'S SPECIAL REPRESENTA-
TIVE HAS AN INTERVIEW
WITH ROOSEVELT.

Washington, March 31.-Dr. Joseph
de Jesus Paul, special representative
of President Castro, had an interview
during the day with the president re-
specting the issues that have arisen
between Venezuela and the United
States. DR.. ISul appears to believe
that these issues might be settled by
a change in the American legation at
Caracas, in view of the strained rela-
tions between President Castro and
Mr.. Bowen. He is awaiting the text
Of the communication from President
Castro relative to the arbitration pro-
posal, which document is en- route to
Washington by mail.
AS an impression apparently pre-
walls to some extent not only in Ven
ezuela but in this country that Minis
ter Bowen has incurred the i'll will of
President Castro by an excess of zeal
in the presentation Of the American
claims against Venezuela it may be
stated that official inquiry from Wash
lngton has developed the fact that Mr..
Bowen merely presented to the Ven
ezuelan government the precise in
structions sent to him from the state
department relative to arbitration;
that he did not add to or take from
those instructions in the slightest de-
gree, but in fact effaced himself, so
the fact is that the state department
and not Mr.. Bowen is responsible for
this presentment which has so stirred
the Venezuelan government.
In view OF the statement from DR..
Paul touching Mr.. Bowen it can be
added upon the highest authority that,
in the view of the administration, the
doctor has no official standing and
whatever communication he makes to
the president or state department can
not have any weight or bearing. II
President Castro is dissatisfied with
Mr.. Bowen he must have recourse to
the regular diplomatic channels and
communicate that fact formally to
this government, which cannot receive
representations on a subject from
ether sources.

COTTON IN A FABRIC.
How to Tell if Worsted or Woo1en
Cloths Are Adulterated.


Worsted cloths are less often adulter-
ated than woolens and are more easily
detected. A cotton worsted is lie or
the face of it, for the cotton stands out
with prominence But often a cotton
thread is twisted with a worsted
thread and to determine its presence
it is only necessary to take the twist
out of the thread and then examine it's
component parts.
Cotton, having a long staple, can ba
carded and combed with wool to be
spun into worsted yarn. This is done
to cheaper the cost of production. Cot
ton is carded and spun with wool and
shoddy, not so much to cheaper the
yarn, for cotton is generally as eXpen-
sive as some shoddies, but is intro
duced to give strength or spinning
qualities to the stock. In many cases
the shoddy is Of such short staple that
it would not stand the drawing in
spinning, and, as it would make the
cost of the yarn too high to put in
enough wool to give that lacking
strength cotton is put in for this pur-
pose.
The percentage Of cotton in a fabric
can be determined in this manner:
Take a small piece Of cloth and weigh
it. Now boil it for five minutes in a 5
per cent solution of caustic soda. Take
out what is left, and, if any, it is all
cotton. The wool will all be dissolved.
The percentage of shoddy cannot be de-
termined except by experience.
A cloth or yarn with shoddy In it is
easily detected by it's feel. Cloth made
of all new wool is softer feeling than
one containing shoddy, for the latter
has lost that new, soft, springy feel
peculiar to wool-American Wool and

CONTROL OF CORPORATIONS.

Before Legislative Committee.

Before Legislative Committee.
Hartford, Conn, March 31.-Presi-
dent Charles S. Mellen Of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail
road appeared before the committee
On railroads of the Connecticut gen
eral assembly to advocate certain pro-
posed amendments to the charter OF
the Consolidated Railway company,
the holding corporation of 400 miles
Vi trolley lines owned by the New
York, New Haven and Hartford COM
pany. During the course of his argu-
ment Mr. Mellen discussed the ques-
ton of corporate control, saying III
part:
''The demand which has resulted
for a strict supervision of railroads
in the interests OF the public welfare
is the issue Of the hour. There have
grown up great. abuses without doubt
and it is time they were laid bare
and stopped.
"a railroad enjoys great privileges
from the public. 1t performs a public
service, it imposes a tax which should
be alike to all who use it and II it
cannot handle itself without discrim-
ination between persons and places
and treat all alike fairly it is time
for the public, which created it, to
supervise it and control it.
'But it is not project to be en-
tered upon hastily. You do not want
to make the cure worse than the dis
ease, nor should those confessedly
guilty be permitted to prescribe rules
and regulations to be observed by
those who have behaved themselves,
if such there be. Here is not a case
for the dilettantis, for the theorist or
for the crank, but for the man of af-
fairs, the jurist of repute, the man
who puts his citizenship above other
considerations. Give it into their
hands and give them time and do not
make another blunder like the inter-
state commerce law and establish
tribunal that will be so anxious for
more power it will neglect to use
what it has"

RUSSIAN IMPERIAL COMMISSION

REPORT ON THE SUBJECT COMPLETED
PEACE RuMoRs ARE NUMEROUS,
BUT NO IMPORTANT DEvEL-

st. Petersburg, March Sit is un-
derstood that the imperial commits
sion under the presidency of Grand
Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch, which
has been considering the question Of
prosecuting the war, has completed
its preliminary report, which favors
continuation of the war, finding moth
ing in the present situation either
financial Or military to prevent its
prosecution.
There is no further peace news. All
eyes are centered on Washington and
Paris, where developments are an
ticipated. The Washington dispatches
are scanned with especial eagerness.
The reports of President Roosevelt's
conferences with Minister Takahira
and Ambassadors Jusserand and
sternburg, in spite of official denials,
are believed in diplomatic circles here
to relate to the opening OF negotia-
tions.
The foreign office continues to
maintain that Russia has taken no
official step, which certainly is liter
ally true There is an important ad-
mission, however, that Ambassador
Jusserand, upon his own responsible
ity, may have given President Roose-
Welt the French idea of Russia's posi-
tion The French embassy also in
sists that it has no knowledge OF
what move, if any, has been made.
The attitude of all the parties con-
cerned, however, is only regarded as
natural at such delicate stage when
the negotiations have not actually be-
gun.
