The Morgan Smiths Want
to Stay in Ohio.
Try to Pick Flaws In the War;
rants Of Detention.
Wanted Badly In Caesar Young MUIR
der Case.

Cincinnati, Ohio, March 31.-That j.
Morgan Smith and his wife would re-
sist extradition to New York state
where they have been indicted for
conspiracy with Nan Patterson, Mrs.
Smiths sister, was made evident, this
Afternoon. Smiths attorneys, Shay
and Cogan, secured two writs of ha-
beas corpus from Common pleas judge
Smith, returnable. Monday, one writ
for j. Morgan Smith and the other for
the wife, Julia Patterson Smith. 1t is
alleged in the writs that the prisoners
are held without warrant, that no
charge has been placed against them,
and that there is no authority in law
for detention Of either husband or
wife.
When arrested. yesterday, the couple
were held simply ION suspicion" but
today, when it was thought a writ of
habeaS corpus would be sought, chief
of detectives Crawford filed in police
an affidavit charging Smith and his
wife with being fugitives from JUS
tice. During the afternoon, Detective
Quinn, of New York, who arrested Nan
Patterson. last May. after the shoot
ing of Caesar Young, and who is well
acquainted with the Smiths, called at
the Central police station and formally
identified the Smiths as the persons
named in the New York indictments.
Before securing the writs, Attorney
Shay had called during the afternoon
at the police station and held a long
conference with his clients. who met
each other for the first time since their
arrest.
The district attorneys office took
prompt steps, today, to ascertain
whether J. Morgan Smith, who. with
his wife Julia, was arrested in Cincin-
natl, yesterday. could be identified as
the man who bought a revolver of
Hyman Stern, the pawn broker, on the
night before Caesar Young was killed.
Smith is the hrother-in- of Nan
Patterson, the show girl about to be
tried again on the charge of killing
Young.
An attempt was made in a previous
trial to prove that Smith bought the
revolver with which Young was killed,
but the absence of Smith greatly ham,
pered the efforts of the prosecution in
that respect.
Hyman Stern, the pawn broker, had
been asked to go to Cincinnati and try
to identify Smith. and it was expected
he. would do so today. He did not do
so, however 1t was stated at the dis
trict attorneys Office that as Stern did
not go to Ohio, Smith would be brought
to New York, and confronted by Stern

To Remove a Tight Ring.

A very simple way of removing a
very tight ring from the finger Is to
take a piece of small cord or wrapping
thread and push n end Of 1t under
the ring. Then, taking hold of the
other end of the string, begin winding
around the finger from close up against
the ring to the very tip of the finger.
Then, to remove the ring, take hold
Of the end of the cord that was slipped
under the ring and unwind the cord.
AS the unwinding progresses the ring
will be carried along with 1t and re-
moved without difficulty.

An expert c~leayer, if paid so much per
diamond cut could make from $50 to
$50, and as one cleaver furnishes

Consequently, he prefers to go slowly

The shapers or "bruteurs' outline
the form in which the diamond will
ultimately appear. In this operation,
the ''bruteur'' takes two stones of SIM

a metal cap, sets one in a machine
that resembles a carpenters lathe, and
as it r~evolves the second stone is
pressed against it. The dust caused
by the friction is caught in a tiny box.
Before the invention Of this machine,
the "bruteur' held the diamonds be-

pressure on the brass wore the sides

met officer. Each one has adopted
his W method of Cabinet consulta-
ton, President Roosevelt might be
said to have a Cabinet of specialists.
He has selected men whom he believed
peculiarly fitted to administer h ar
fairs of the different departments. AT
the bi-weekly Cabinet meetings, which
are held when the President is in his
executive Office in Washington, each
Cabinet officer presents a short re-
sumo of the condition of his depart
ment. If there is any matter that has
arisen under his jurisdiction that is OF
a widespread, general character 1t is
reserved for discussion by himself and
the President, and perhaps one or two
other members of the Cabinet who re-
main after the formal meeting. Great
questions of national and international
policy are not matters of general dis
They are taken up and debated by the
President and those Cabinet officers
whom he believes are specially quail
fed to give expert opinion upon them.
The late President Mckinley had an
entirely different method and the
meetings of his Cabinet were actual
state councils. Every matter affecting
the nation at large or bearing upon our
international relations was brought up
at these meetings and each n of the
Presidents advisors was requested to
submit his opinion. The Secretary OF
Agriculture was asked for his views
on the advance on Pekin, while the
opinion of the Secretary of State on
the type of battleships to be adopted
by the Navy was welcomed. Mr.. Nc
Kinley believed in this way that he Sc
cured the best results and it also gave
his cabinet officers an opportunity to
exhibit whatever Of talent or genius
of craftsmanship they possessed.
