 When the Harriet reached the spot high sea was on. The Harriet ran as close to the wreck as possible and threw a rope to Mack, who was sling ing to the topmast of the Ella Powell. Mack seized the rope, wound it about him and was pulled aboard the tug, and brought to this city.

Slim Chance for Hobson

il is said minority leader Williams has
at least a dozen applications for Car

Williams be disposed to recommend
HObsOn for the vacancy there would be

Should Speaker Cannon decide to in

that Captain HObsOn might make an

the navy will help some, but the pres

The Patrick Case.

There will be disappointment
among people who have interested
themselves in the case 81 Albert T.
Patrick, convicted of murder. at the
step taken by Governor Higgins in
committing his sentence from death
to Imprisonment for life. For more
than is proven against him, Patrick
has now been amply punished He
was first arrested on a forgery
charge, and afterward tried and SEN
fenced to death for a murder which
At was never claimed he committed.
Che theory OF the prosecution was
that he procured another man to do
the murder. That other man, the
valet Jones, swore 10 this story.
There is excellent reason for belief
that Jones did this in order to save
himself from prosecution on Il minor
charge; and the ruse served its pur-
pose, for he was given freedom
while the man against whom he
swore was sent to the death chair.
The very essence of Jones' story
was that he himself was a weakling
completely in control of Patrick,
who forced him to kill Rice. 1t is
difficult to understand how the tes-
timony Of such an intellectual cipher
could be accepted and allowed to
outweigh a human life.
But this is not all. The Medico-
ALsgal Society of New York now
SeOmes forward with what its disin-
terested members insist is absolute
proof that Rice was not murdered
at all This has been proved by ex-
periments in embalming which re
produced conditions in the Rice
case. Thus there is great doubt if
q murder was committed; there is
certainty that if murder was com
mitted Patrick did not do it; there
is certainty that the witness whose
testimony attached responsibility to
Patrick was utterly untrustworthy;
and there is finally the fact that the
court OF appeals stood four TO three
in favor of Patrick on the ground
that in the trial he had been wrong
ed by prejudicial rulings of the
court.
1t is unbelievable that Patrick will
be permitted to end his days in
prison. If ever there was a case in
which reasonable doubt" justified
leniency this is the case.
The Washington times., 1906-12-21

in France, it may reasonably be ex-
pected that exigency win be finally
of in peace, and probably to
the ultimate benefit of the Catholic
Church itself 1t is a hard wrench,
of course, to be dispossessed of
property and privileges that have
long accrued to it, but the example
of England and of the United States
is sufficient to show how needless,
after all, is the protection of state
over church.
To revert TO the Roman riot, it is
worth noting that the armed forces
of the Italian government, the very
power that is so hated by the Vat
lean, were Immediately called forth
to surround and protect the apOs-
tolic palace and prevent the people
themselves from doing damage to
the hallOwed buildings. What might
have happened had the government
at Rome been lax in its duty, even
for an hour, it is almost terrifying
to contemplate. After all, there is
need of both church and state and
each has its mission to perform; the
one softens and gives morality to
the other. and the other in turn
protects and helps maintain in times
of need the integrity of the one.

The Roman Riots.

At this distance it is difficult to
comprehend the bitterness with
which a certain portion of the cit
liens of Rome. and. we presume, a
like proportion all over Italy, regard
the Vatican as an organization.
That thousands of people, includ-
ing one great prince of Italy, should
march against the stronghold of the
papacy with cries of enthusiasm for
France and Clemenceau, rearing
aloft candles in a procession of
moekery and intoning the "Miser-
ere" as a taunt at the supposed
death of clericalism, seems almost
incredible to American citizens who
are happily disposed to permit any
church or any hierarchy to manage
its own affairs as best suits itself

ever, shows that there is still in

tion is supposed to be concerning
