Cre1C, BlO7cn zcith Deck into Water,
Rescued 1ojth Difficulty.
[By Telegraph to The tribune.

MiIlville N J.. May 29.-While scores of sIoops
of the oyster feet were dredging above Maurice
River Cove in Delaware Bay this morning an
explosion. as If caused by submarine mine
blew large part of the schooner Hampton to
atoms hurled the deck, with the captain and
crew, a considerable distance and scattered
debris over the water for hundreds of feet.
The schooner was equipped with modern gaso
lene machine dredges, and several large tanks OF
naphtha, which were stored in the hold. in some
unexplained manner We're exploded. Almost be-
fore any realized what had happened the
schooner plunged to the bottom Of the bay.
The strangest feature of the accident that
beyond a few slight cuts and bruises Captain
David Robbins and his crew of five men We're
not injured. They clung to the fra gments of the
deck, but the heavy which was rolling at the
time threatened every minute to break their
hold
Captain Bell OF the state patrol steamer Cy-
pher saw the accident from a distance and hur-
ried to the assistance of the men. The work
of rescue was a most difficult one. owing 10 the
high waves. but the exhausted men finally
reached the decks of the steamer in safety.
When the Cypher reached the wharf tonight a
great crowd cheered the rescuers.

PATRICK BILL DEAD.
THE GOVERNOR VETOES 1T
He Crticises Delay of Sir Years in
Murder Case.

Albany May 29.-"Little less than scandalous''
is the phrase used by Governor Higgins in
veto memorandum issued tonight regarding the
laws delays in the case OF Albert t. Patrick,
the New York lawyer convicted of the murder OF
William NJ Rice, who died IN September. 1900
The Governors veto is of two bills. introduced
by Assembyman Wade of Chautauqua, TO
amend the code of criminal procedure so as TO
permit an appeal from order denying mo-
ton for a new trial in a criminal case on the
ground of newly discovered evidence. The bills.
which also introduced in the Senate by
Senator Smith. were generally understood to
have reference especially 10 the Patrick case.
and the Governor so describes them in his memo
randum. which says in part
Waving the objection 10 the bills that, though
general in form they are special in their appli-
appeal TO Albert T Patrick to obtain review
of order If such order be made, denying ms
pending motion for new trial on newly dls-
covered evidence. 1 disapprove them for the
reason that they introduce new procedure 70
our criminal law and tend 10 defer indefinitely
the termination of capital case.
BY successive motions for new trials ana ap-
peals therefrom made for dtlatory purposes
only. the execution of the sentence after 1udg-
ment of conviction and affirmance thereof by the
Court of Appeals in capital case might De
postponed indefinitely.
died on September 23. 1900. nearly six years ago
The laws delays in this case seem TO me niue
less than scandalous. In cases of extreme hard
ship, where the judge before whom tne Houon .
for a trial is made denies the derendaht
motion without giving proper consideration 10
such evidence, the constitution PROVIDES prdc-
tical remedy. An amendment 70 Jhe code OF
criminal procedure might, however Wen De
made which would permit defendants appHca-
tion for a new trial in capital case TO be mace
10 any justice of the Supreme Court WITHIN the
judicial department where the convictlon was
had. so that the defendant may not De required
in any case TO present his motion to the judge
presiding at his trial

PRISON FOR S FEEDERS.
Brooklyn Justices VII No Longer
Fine Automobile Offenders.

Justice Patrick ]. Ready, of the Court OF
Special Sessions. Brooklyn. has declared that
hereafter persons who are brought before him
for speeding their automobiles will be sent TO
prison and not permitted TO go after paying
fine. These remarks followed the appearance in
court of Walter Nipoth. chauffeur. who was
arrested for speeding on the Eastern Parkway.
Justice Ready conferred for a moment with
Justices O'Keefe and Fitzgerald and. acting as
spokesman for them said:
The evidence Enthusiastically proves you violated
the speed laws of the city. and, therefore,
find YOU guilty This court desires II TO be known
that il will no longer be lenient to accused of
rushing through the streets OF Brooklyn in
chimes at a speed which makes 1t exceedingly dan
gerous for persons 10 cross thOroughfares. There
will be no further tolerance Of this evil by us
We have determined to stop il.
The imposition Of a fine for this offence is COM
paratively nothing. The owners of machines seem
to laugh at fines. The owners easily pay them
Fifty or one hundred dollars does not 10
bother them. Therefore. must discover other
deprivation of the liberty OF a man for fifteen or
thirty days or several months is very apt 10 con-
vince him that the law is entitled TO respect, and
that the public has rights in the matter OF the
streets.
The justices nave determined 10 send autoists 10
jail for violating the speed law. In this case We
will impose A $1G0 fine because you the first
prisoner brought before US since arrived at this
determination.
