HAS FAITH IN NAN PATTERSON.
Commander Eva Booth Believes Her limo.
cent Of Young's Murder.

After a loEg visit to Miss Nan Patterson IN the
Tombs yesterday, Commander Eva Booth expressed
her belief in the girls innocence Of the murder of
Caesar Young.
I do not believe the girl is murderess," she
said She is built Of far higher material than is
usually found in persons who commit such crimes
certainly believe her innocent"
Dr. OHanlon, the coroner's physician who testi-
fed in favor Of the prosecution, came out with a
remarkable statement yesterday. in which he said:
Now that the trial IS over feel free to say that
! all along believed the revolver from which the
bullet was fred was in the hands of Young. Ny
reason is based on the powder marks found on one
OF Houngs fingers the day he was killed.
AT the last trial DR.. O'Hanlon declared his opln-
ion expressed before the first trial that Young had
committed suicide, was not the I hold now"
Previous 10 her conversation with Miss Booth
Miss Patterson was visited by her counsel Mr..
Levy and Mr.. OReilly. The latter through
her large mail in order to keep any letters from
cranks from reaching her. Although her mail was
unusually large, there was nothing unpleasant
found in II yesterday. She in good spirits
yesterday and almost entirely recovered from her
collapse following the trial

WILL DRIVE OUT DIVES.
Congressman Bennet on Results En-
pected from 4mbLer-Prentice Bill.

Congressman William s. Bennett, chairman Oh
the Committee Of Fourteen, who has just TO-
turned TO this city after six weeks at Albany
believes that Is per cent OF the disreputaole
hotels OF the city will be driven out OF business
by the Amber Prentice bnl. supplemented next
May by the new Raines bilf- He is satished
that these measures, which passed the Assembly
on May z. viii be signed Immediately by the
Governor To see that the bills will be efeo-
tive when established as laws the committee will
stay in existence indefinitely. Mr.. Bennett said
yesterday:
The Raines bill provides for the inspection OF
buildings before licenses are issued. 1t was
when that bin failed TO pass the legislature
before May ] that we had the Ambler-Fren-
tice bill introduced. This bill provides that IN
1903 any taxpayer may petition the Speclal
Denut1- Commissioner of Excise to have sus-
picious Raines law hotels Investigated as 10 their
compliance with the demands OF the BUILDINGS
Department and the rules OF the flames Jaw
Where hotels are found 10 be disTegarding either
set Of requirements their licenses may NC &c
voked-
We are satisfied with the legislation we have
obtained. although We may have some aIneilu-
nlents 10 the Raines bill offer IN the fall The
Amber bill is the strongest measure that the
legislature could pass. The committee lntenas 70
begin fling petitions for the investigation Of GER
tain suspicious places within a month AFTER the
Governor signs the bill The Governor gave US
every assistance IN his power in our attempt to
get the Amber bill through the legislature He
signed an emergency message for US at $50
o'clock at night.
Taurnany Hall has-for years charged the Re
publican party with responsibility for the Raines
law hotels. When the members Of that or
laz1izaton and the. rest Of the Democrats Of the
State had chance TO do away with such hotels
they refused TO profit by it No Democrat, so
far as IS known voted for either the Raines or
the Amber bill The motion to defeat the Raines
bill in the Assembly made by Mr. Palmer,
the Democratic leader, and another Democrat
made a similar motion regarding the Amber
bill The Republicans voted for both measures
almost unanimously. It was the Democratic OPP
position which prevented the Ra1nes bill from
becoming law before May !, by which time
the owners Of the Raines law dives obtained
Licenses for another. year.

Samuel Gonppers Says They Would
DeStroy,Trade UnioniSm.

The,movement among the socialists, headed by
Eugene v Debs and Others. TO form the Industrial
Union 20 down Samuel Gspnlpers, has reused Pres
ident Gonpers and the executive council Of the
American Federation Of Labor TO action The lat
ter sent resolutions the affiliated unions in New
York and elsewhere yesterday, depouncing the
movement as an attempt 10 cause divisions in the
ranks OF labor.
Debs also came out yesterday with a virulent
attack Gompers. lie accuses the executive
council Of the American Federation Of Labor Of
virtually killing the strike Of the American Rail-
way Union IN 1894, which was ordered by Debs and
proved failure.
Among the labor leaders in New-York, who be-
long the American Federation of Labor, there
are several members OF DebsS Social Democratic
party. They say they will stay in the American
Federation Of Labor. but they are as ready TO at
tack Gompers any one. IN a statement 10 the
New-YOrk and other Eastern unions Mr.. GompeTs
yesterday said his organization was not lighting
socialism but the ''pernciOUs activity Of socialists,
who seem have made their particular mission in
life either dominate or divert or destroy the
trade unions"

We trust the day Is not far distant
when the city Of Augusta will be able
to maintain a patrol wagon in connee-
ton with It's police system. This
would necessitate the presence of an
officer on constant duty at the station
except when out on call with the
team. 1t would. however, add ma
terially to the safety of the commun-
ity. by putting it within the power OF
orr citizens to summon assistance al
short notice. Again it would be of vast
assistance to the officers in affording
them a quick method of transporting
prisoners to the station. OF course
such a system would involve the IN
stallation of a number of patrol boxes
which would enable officers on their
beats to keep i'm close and constant
touch with headquarters.
We have today one Of the most
efficient police forces that has ever
served our city. but with the estab-
lishment of a modern system of patrol
boxes it's work would be greatly
facilitated and rendered vastly more
effective than is possible under exist
ing conditions. The matter is one that
should be looked into very carefully
