Additional information confirming

James Harrington and James Rice,

that the first volley Of shots was fired

The characterIzing feature of
the type is its lack of tenacity in

smaller areas in the sou tn western

cases good.
This soil has been derived from
the breaking down of GRANTEES,

stages. The type is In many ways
related to the Cecil clay, and in
Its sander phases to the Cecil
sandy loan, but it represents a
less complete weathering of the
rocks, and this imparts a differ.
ent character to the structure of
the soil.
Twenty years ago this part of
the county was very good agri.
cultural land, but today the
greater part of it is either aban.
doned or farmed by negroes, a
result of the immense amount of
washing and Outlying which
has taken place. Some of the
type, however, is still very good
farming land. The characteristic
timber growth is oak, hickory,
shortleaf pine, and some cedar.
For the trst few years after

are obtained on the Cecil gravel

declines more rapidly than in
other types of the Cecil series.
AS long as a careful supervi.

bly, with those on the Cecil clay

In announcing the Communication Gov. Hig-

ALBERT T. Patrick has been convicted OF
the murder of William NJ Rice and the
judgment of conviction has been affirmed
by divided court. 1t is not claimed that
Patrick committed the murder in person,
but that he procured the att to be done
He has been convicted principally upon
the testimony of Charles F. Jones, who
confessed that he murdered his master
while he lay asleep. instigated thereto by
Patrick. and Jones by this testimony has
purchased his own immunity from trial or
punishment. Neither this fact alone, nor
the review of any of the facts already
passed upon by the courts at some stage
of these proceedings. would seem to me
to warrant interfering with the Judgment
of death pronounced against the defendant:
but three of the seven judges of the court
of appeals were so strongly of the opinion
that errors We're committed at the trial
which were substantially prejudicial to
the rights of Patrick that i feel that the
death penalty ought not, under all the cir
cumstances, to be inflicted.
I'm view of these facts and the grave
doubts expressed tby these judges 1 am
satisfied that 1 ought to relieve the de-
PENDANT from the extreme penalty of the
law and commute his sentence to impris-

by the association at its latest meeting
The communication calls attention to the
fact that the people of the District have for
thirty years been deprived of The right of
local Sef-government, and now enjoyed
by all other citizens of the United States
and also denied representation in Con-
greSS.
The resolution declares that 1.-THE Pet
worth Citizens Association. believing with
the brave men who waged a successful
seven years war for the establishment of
free government in America, that taxation
without representation is tyranny, and with
Abraham Lincoln that we cannot have free
government without election, and that the
Kline bill is in accord with the desire of
large majority of the citizens of the Dis
trict and in harmony with the spirit and
institutions of our country, hereby indorse
the Kline bill and respectfully, but very
earnestly, request Congress to pass it dur
ing the present session with an amendment
providing for a secret ballot for the nomi-
nation and election of the delegates.
Several members of the House told Star
reporter today that they would vote for the
Kline bill, and believed that it was good
thing. Another member said he would vote
for the bill providing it was amended in
such shape that hereafter the government
of the District of Columbia SHOULD pay all
of its own expenses without any aid from
