Denver, Col.-William James Pat terson, M. A., graduate of Rush and Washington medical schools, was ar rested here the other day on $20 forgery charge. Patterson lays the arrest to deep delving in criminology. and declared that he was glad he was criminal His only regret, he said, was that he had allowed the morphine habit to gain such hold on him that he had not become the greatest criminal of the age.
 Patterson's is a story of long bat tie by man of high instincts against a degenerate tendency. Finally the bad in him won.
 Much of his downfall Patterson at- tributes to his long study of the psychology of crime So thoroughly, he says, has he mastered the subject that he Segards Macdonald as almost a tyro. although the latter's works are standard the world over.
 In his early years Patterson fought against his inherent desire to take what belonged to his fellow man be- cause of the disgrace that he feared his father, mother and other loved ones would suffer from his actions. When he met, loved and wooed the woman of his choice, for her sake and for the sake of the children that were born to them. he continued to wage the unequal battle. It was he reality versus environment, he de- clares. Heredity finally won. That is the excuse which the once famed physician and instructor gives for his present condition. From a man of prominence and an heir to great wealth, Patterson's fall has been so complete that the police found him living in the most abject poverty in dingy room in the lower part of the city.
 My one great regret in life is that have fallen slave to the morphine habit and. unable to resist its use. have failed in my ambition to become the greatest criminal of the age," was the amazing statement Dr. Patterson made after his arrest
 T glory in crime and am a crim- final because it is impossible for me to be anything else have tried and failed, and am glad of 1t. The fight was unequal at best. and am glad that finally started out in career of crime and that I have committed thefts and burglary, have stolen into houses at night time and taken prop erty that belonged to others. for the pure love of 1t.
 T did not need the money. did not want the booty that took away after 1 got it. but there was satisfaction too deep for words or selfsatisfying for explanation.
 T imagine that a woman who has held her lover at arms length. and. perhaps for the best of reasons. has refused to surrender to him for a long time. must feel much as I did when 1 committed my first theft.
 Tt was not much. too little thing | to notice. Yet it was the beginning of a career that I mapped out for myself after fully realized that there was nothing in the world that could prevent me from being anything bat c thief.
 T was in a fellow physician's of flee. saw a pocketbook lying on the table. He was busy with q patient I opened the wallet and found two dollars in 1t.
 T then had plenty of money. The contents of the purse could do me lit- tie good. but resist the desire to take the money I could not-did not I knew that the high character I bore | --..ra .-.s.-. x..o krs,r,n fho r,,zriffrI

HONOR FOR MIR. ROOT
Populace of Montevideo Turns
 Out to Greet Him.
WARN WELCOME FOR OUR ENVOY.
Capital of Uruguay Turns Out to Cheer For United States, Prest- dent Roosevelt and State
 Secretary,

MONTEvIDEO, Aug. 11.-Secretary Root arrived here on the cruiser Charleston.
 Never perhaps in the history of the Uruguayan republic has popular feel ing been more visibly manifested than by the really remarkable demonctra- tions of satisfaction on the part of all classes with the visit of the eminent American statesman to this pictur- esque capital.
 Although necessarily not on the same scale of magnificence as the reception accorded MT. Root lH Brazil or that in course of preparation by Argentina. Montevideo has extended to him a well come full of spontaneous warmth and cordiality.
 At an early hour the crowd began assembling at every vantage point in | the port and on the mole. 1t cOntinu- ally grew in numbers until seemingly the entire population was present to greet the visitors. An enthusiastic ova- ton was given to Edward c. O'Brien, the popular American minister, when he, accompanied by the port authori- ties, embarked for the outer roads to meet the Charleston.
 The arrival of the cruiser with the distinguished travellers stationed prom inently on the upper deck, to which MT. O'Brien immediately proceeded. was the eliminating point in the en- thusiasm of the crowd. Cries of Long live Secretary Rootw Long live Pres ident Rooseveltv and Long live the great republic of the north!' rent the air. These were repeated when the steamer Triton anchored alongside the Charleston for the purpose of enabling the committee. composed of officials, several leading residents and a num- Der of ladies, to board the cruiser and tender the first welcome to the visitors. After this ceremony the committee and MT. Roots party boarded the steamer Ingeniero whence the landing was made.
 As soon as MT. Root was on shore i Dr. Jose Romeu, the minister of for eign affairs, delivered speech of wei come, to which Mir. Root made brief reply. As the visitors drove away, ac- companied by Minister O'Brien, to the splendid residence in the heart of the city which had been provided for them the scene of enthusiasm was impress sive and striking. Mrs. Root and Miss Root shared the heartiness of the ova- tion accorded the American secretary of state.
 Later there was reception by the president of the republic at Govern ment House, military parade and a gala performance at the theater. The city has abandoned itself wholly to the entertainment of the visitors, who can. not fail to be impressed by the sym. pathy and obviously sincere nature Of the reception accorded them. totally unaffected by political considerations.

ty. When he was nominated first, in
1901, he did not seem to have the
ghost of a show. The political know
it als of both the great parties never
considered his candidacy from a seri-
Gus standpoint, and he was the subject
of more campaign pleasantly than is
usual Yet he was successful by an
Overwhelming plurality. He is of hum
BILE origin, his father having been a
poor street musician. a member of an
ltinerant German band, and his mother
an Irish house servant.
So it was that the mayor came nat
urally by his musical ability. He rose
from the most unpromising beginning
to be musical director at one of the
leading theaters of San Francisco. AT
the time of his nomination he was
president of the Musicians union, and
he is still at the head of that organiza-
ton. It is not true, however, that he
went straight from his fiddle to the
mayors chair. He had long been a
man of affairs on the coast and had
accumulated considerable property. He
was an excellent speaker and mad
achieved a good reputation as an ora
tor in labor circles. 1t was perfectly
natural that when it was decided to
run an independent candidate the la
Dor forces should have fixed upon him
as their leader.
Mayor Schmitz is acknowledged to
be one of the finest physical specimens
IN the Pacific coast, that region of
masculine bodily perfection. He is tall
md athletic in appearance and carries
himself superbIy. With a distinction
# manner that makes him a marked
man wherever he goes he might be
mistaken for one who had been born
to the purple He is also a man of
considerable education, having prepar-
ed himself for. the practice of medicine,
from which career he was diverted by
the possibilities of the Klondike.
Even more interesting, however is
Abraham Ruef, holding no Office what
ever but believed popularity to be the
real ruler of San Francisco He it was
who organized the party which has
kept Schmitz in Office and who has die
tated appointments. Illuminated vetoes,
composed message and performed all
sorts of executive acts. Everybody
has looked on him as the boss. and he
has manifested little disposition to
deny the fact.
Having secured control of the execu-
tive power Ruef proceeded to realize
from his successful speculation. He is
one of the keenest lawyers in the coun-
try. and it was mere child's play for
him to transform the executive de-
partment of the Golden Gate City into
a machine would would yield him a
certain and continuous profit The
public sentiment against the notori-
Gus French restaurants gave him his
first great opportunity. He is reputed
to have done everything in his power
to stir UP a vigorous opposition to the
evil, to have written inhammatory ar
ticles for the daily press and to have
furnished ministers Of all denomina-
tions with material for their pulpit
crusade. 1t eliminated in the order
that closed the doors Of all of these
dens of infamy
Then it was that RHef revealed him
