NAN pATTERsoN's TALE UPHELD
One of the Alleged Eye Witnesses. to
the Shooting at Last Located mt De-
iand.k Fla.

Jacksonville. Fla, January FOLLOW
ing the somewhat sensational develop
ment of the publication that w. 3.
Meyer a prominent laval stores man
of Jacksonville, a stated to a Savan-
nah, Ga, lawyer hat he had witnessed
n shooting of Caesar Young and
Meyers denial and assertion hat he
was never in New York, followed by a
published affidavit from the lawyer in
question. 1t now develops hat Algernon
c. Meyer was in New York at the time
and say the shooting and that he has
given his testimony to District At
torney jerome. Soon after the shooting
it was reported hat Algernon Meyer
witnessed the affair and at the time
an attempt was made to confirm the
story. 1t could not be done i'm New
York for the reason that Meyer had
left New York, and District Attorney
Jerome has said nothing concerning
the testimony. 1t could not be con-
firmed in Jacksonville for the reason
that Meyers whereabouts were not
known to his mother, who lives in
Jacksonville, while Meyer a been
living at Deland, Fla. The story was
dropped without further investigation
until the story of w. B.. Meyers con
nection with the case developed a few
days ago. 1t was then that a corre-
spondent ascertained the, whereabouts
of Algernon Meyer and queried him
directly concerning the matter. The
following reply gives the desired con-
firmation: Was in New York, wiz
messed the shooting, testified before Je-
rome, my testimony being DOL the
same as Nan Patterson's." Meyer, it
is believed, is the man whom Martin
Hazleton says was standing beside
him when he say caesar Young shoot
himself. Counsel for Nan Patterson
has been unable to locate this impor-
tant witness for the defense. Alger-
o Meyer is not related to w. B.
Meyer, whom rumor has connected with
the affair.

MAY BE CASE OF SUICIDE
Man Dies Suddenly in East First
Street Lodging House

A man who gave the name of Con
Vetlan appeared at a lodging house at
117h East First street at 2 O'Clock
yesterday afternoon and asked for
room. He said he was tired and
wanted to rest. Accordingly, the land
lady showed him a room and he i'm
mediately retired.
A few hours later 1t was discovered
that Vetlan was i'll, and an effort was
made to have him removed to the
county hospital, but 1t was impossible
at the time to secure an ambulance.
Vetlan died at $40 o'clock and his body
was removed to Bresee Bros under
taking parlors, where an inquest will
be held.
AS the man appeared to be very
much worried, but not sick, when he
called at the lodging house for a room,
1t is thought that he might have taken
some drug with suicidal intent, al
though nothing to indicate such was
found about the room.
Vetlan had sixteen cents on his per-
son. He was about 40 years old and
appeared to be a laborer. Nothing
further could be learned of him.

MORE PEASANT uPRIsINGs
News From Baltic Provinces Very
Disquleting
IN AssocIated Press

BY Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, April 6.-The re-
ports of peasant uprisings in the Baltic
provinces, especially in Lithuania and
Courtland, continue extremely disquiet-
ing. Although Cossack and infantry
patrols are scattered through the coun-
try, the troops are unable to stop the
plundering of estates by the larger
peasant bands.
At Werra. where a regiment of Cos
sacks fired upon mob which had COM
plete possession of the town, the riot
ers were dispersed. but they broke up
into smaller bands, which terrorized
the neighboring land owners. Similar
incidents have occurred at other places.
The smaller bands drive off cattle. burn
barns and fodder and help themselves
to grain and provisions. Dispatches
from dozens of places tell of panic
produced by the depredations of rowing
bands of peasants.

phrase STANDARD OH is an accurate
and convenient synonym, don't own

"Is this statement, which Mr.. Dodd

KING EDWARD
MEETS LOUBET
GREAT BRITAlN'S MONARCH
VISITS PARIS
Occasion Marked by Freedom Of Con-
fdences Exchanged but Unat-
tended by Any Spectacular
Demonstration
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
PARIS, April 6.-The arrival of King
Edward in Paris today was the occa-
sion for a notable manifestation of
Anglo-French cordiality, which is being
generally interpreted tonight as con-
spicuous response to Germany's attitude
regarding Morocco, although the king
remained but short time. He was
met outside the city by President Lou
bet, who held a private conversation
with his majesty, lasting nearly an
hour. A semi-official communication
recites that the meeting had far less
reserve than that between King Ed
ward and President Loubet last year,
and that it was marked by the free
dom of the condolences exchanged.
Beyond his private conversation,
King Edward confined himself to the
usual public expressions of good will.
In this respect the kings reserve is
being compared with the freedom of
Emperor Williams recent utterances.
The passage of the king was un-
attended by any spectacular features,
as it was the wish of the authorities
to avoid a political demonstration.
President Loubet Joined the royal
train at Pierre Fitte station, where,
surrounded by distinguished officials
of both governments, the two rulers
exchanged their first greetings. The
king conducted President Loubet to
his private car where the conversa-
ton continued until the Lyons railway
station was reached.
Outside the station the crowd was
held back by cordons of police, the
absence of military display being no.
ticeable. During the half hour at the
station King Edward continued to talk
with President Loubet and held an ex-
tended conference with the British am
bassador at Paris, Sir Francis Levison
BERTHE.
King Edward left Paris at 7:10 for
Marseilles where he will join Queen
Alexandra on board the royal yacht.

PROPHET SMITH
IS SUSTAINED
RECEIVES UNANIMOUS VOTE OF
THE CHURCH
Two Members Make Objection to
Those Apostles Who Practice
PoIyaamy-senator smoot
. Not Present
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SALT LAKE, Utah, April 6.--Joseph
p. Smith was sustained as prophet,
seer and revelator by unanimous vote
of the members of the Mormon church
at the opening session Of the Seventy
fifth annual conference today. When
the vote was taken to sustain the
twelve apostles, two hands were raised
in dissent. One of the dissenters arose
to explain his vote, but was not per-
mitted to speak, President Smith mere
ly stating that he could present his
objections to the proper authorities.
The Incident created profound sem
sation. The members who dissented
afterwards stated that they desired to
protest against sustaining such officers
Of the church as live in polygamy.
Among the apostles sustained were
Apostles Taylor and Cowley. In his
testimony before the investigation
committee at Washington Senator
Smoot stated that an Investigation was
being made by the church into the
charges that these two apostles had
taken polygamous wives since the
manifesto and that If the charges were
proved he would not vote to sustain
Taylor and Cowley. Senator Smoot
was not present today, nor were Apos-
ties Taylor and Cowley.

ASKS GOVERNOR TO SAVE
SALVATION ARMY GIRL
Illinois Legislature Intervenes on Be-
half of lnea Hansen, Condemned
to the Penitentiary

By Associated Press.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April Elm the
upper house of the legislature today an
unusual resolution was presented bear
ing on the case of Miss Inga Hansen, a
former Salvation Army girl who was
recently found guilty of perjury and
given an indefinite sentence to the PEN
itentiary. The resolution requests the
governor to have the case investigated
and then, II in his judgment the case
warrants 1t, he is urged to prevent Miss
Hansen being sent to the penitentiary
and to grant her a full pardon.
Miss Hansen's conviction was the out
growth Of a suit for $50,00O damages
brought by her against the Chicago
Railroad company, alleging that she
had been deprived of her sight and
speech and the use of her limbs as the
result of injuries received in a street
car accident. She claimed that her
partial recovery was a miracle wrought
by prayer, while the company alleged
that her injuries were only pretended.
The resolution cites the statement
made some time ago that the railroad
had expended $50,0OO in securing the
conviction Of the young woman and the
fact that many persons believe her In
nocent.
The resolution was made special
order for Tuesday next.
