pleted the drawing of plan of the
Ruel williams field showing the ar
rangement of the sections to be de-
voted to the different forms of sports.
and the plan is on exhibition at the
office of the Kennebec Light & Heat
Co. The plan was made to be sub
mitted to the students of the Cony
High school, and the arrangement is
practically the same as was at first
suggested The track for runners oc-
cupies the east end Of the field, and
west of it is the football gridiron and
The baseball diamond, the two occupy
ing i'm part common space. as coming
at different seasons of the year the
games will not interfere with one an
other. At the west end of the dia-
mond and behind the catchers posi-
tion is shown the diagram for Il grand
stand. Other features of the plan are
two tennis courts. which are placed
side by side and occupy the space al
tho south Of the school building on
stone street and adjoining the lot OF
Dr q. s. c. Davies. The arrange
,n.nt seems to be a good one. and il

JEROME CAUSES ARREST
 OF A PATRICK WITNESS
DISTRICT ATTORNEY ACCUSES MIR. J0RDoN, OF TEXAS, OF
 PERJURY.

Counsel for Accused Murderer Object
 to Recorder Golf Issuing an Order of
 Arrest and Latter Tells Jerome to
 Go Before Police Magistrate
 Mayor Rice, of Houston, Expected in
 Court TO-morrow to Refute Testi-
 mOny Given by Miss GailIard.
 New York, Feb. 26.-The arrest of one of the witnesses brought here from Texas to testify in behalf of Albert T. Patrick, now in Sing Sing prison con- demned to death for the murder of Will liam Marsh Rice, marked the climax of to-day's hearing before Recorder Golf on the motion for new trial of the now famous case Joseph Jordan was taken into custody as the hearing was about to be adjourned for the day, He is charged with perjury, and the complaint is signed by District Attor- ney Jerome.
 - OOAbe1 4icNN lVotiAACQ III DSllellL Ol csl rick last week, and was closely ques- toned by MT. Jerome at the time, par ticularly as to whether he had ever been confined in the Texas penitentiary.
 He declared he had never been in prison.
 The arrest to-day followed the testi- mony on the witness stand of William c. Murray, an ex-guard at the peniten- tiary in Huntsville, Texas, who identi- fled Jordan as a one-time prisoner in his charge. Mr. Jerome then applied to Recorder Golf for an order for Jordan's s arrest.
 Counsel for Patrick objected to suciI proceeding at this stage of tile case, saying it would initiate against the in terests of their clinent. The recorder said he was reluctant to take the ac- ton requested by the district attorney in a case where he might hereafter act as a trial judge and he advised MT. Jerome to apply to police magistrate Jordan was taken to police headquar- ters and will be arraigned tomorrow.
 Miss Minnie Gaillard, the Texas school teacher, was cross-examined to- day by the district attorney and will be in court again Wednesday when 1t is said Mayor Rice of Houston, Texas, will appear as witness. The hearing will go on tomorrow.
 Miss Gaillard declined to give her age when requested to do so by District Attorney Jerome, but when MT. Jerome threatened to have her committed for contempt of court sa1e said that she is between 30 and 5O,"
