SAYS PATRICK is INNOCENT
Committee of the MedicO-Lega1 So
cfety Say VIM. Marsh Rice
Was Not Murdered.

New York, May 18.-William Marsh
Rice was not murdered by Albert T.
Patrick or anybody else, according to
a report of a committee of the Medico-
Legal society.
There is not an unprejudiced medi-
cal mind in the world" said Clark Bell
at a meeting of the society, at the
Waldorf, who would believe that if a
towel made into a cone, containing a
sponge saturated with choloform, was
placed over the face of a living man,
who was asleep, it would cause death
if he was left alone for thirty minutes.
The first struggle that the man made
would dislodge and throw off the
towel.
ut is not likely that the statement
made by Valet Jones of the method OF
killing Rice by inhalation of chloro-
form has a single element Of truth"

The ulemas of the University Of AL
Azhar have decided as to the phono-
graph and insurance that there is
nothing in Islamic doctrine to forbid
Moslems to listen to the monograph,
and that, if the verses of the Koran
are suitably intoned from the phono-
graph the listener may be justly con.
sidered to be performing an act Of
worship, a ceremony to which all are
greatly devoted. Fire and life insur-
ance are, however, condemned by the
sheik as a gambling transaction con-
trary in spirit to the teaching Of the
Koran.

Felix Weingartner, the noted com
poser-conductor, in commenting on
American orchestras, attributes their
great success to the fact that they are
cosmopolitan in personnel, whereas
European orchestras, excepting pos.
sibly those in England, are largely ma
tional. He thinks French players the
most skillful in the woodward, the
Germans in the brass. The American
orchestra conductors seek the best
players available without regard to
nationality, the only requirement be
ing that they excel on their particular
instrument.
