WALKED INTO RIVER.
Woman. Attempts To Commit Suicide
 At East Tnl1assee.

Tallassee. April 14.--tspecisL)-- )--Sat- urday afternoon in East Tallassee. Mrs. Nina May Dupree, a young grass wi- dow. attempted to commit suicide by walking into the river. She left home ostensibly to go to the depot. telling her younger brothers and sisters she was going to take the train to go to her husband. Her little brother fol- lowed her and when she walked into the water he gave the alarm. A man near by rescued her. It is thought shs had drugged herself before going to the river and this attempt at drown ing renders her condition rather pre- carious.
 Her mother and stspfather. Mir. and Mrs Collins had left home for a few hours previous to so to the bedside of Mrs Collum's mother in the northern part of Fillmore.
 This is Mrs. Dupree's second attempt at suicide within the year. the other having been made some three months ago in Georgia by cutting her throat. It was thought at the time she had been cut by a negro. but since she has acknowledged having cut herself with suicidal intent.

for the d.af is what is known as the combined system. The teachers use the manual alphabet, sign language, lip reading and speech. A large propor- tion of the pupils are given the benefit of instruction in speech. The teachers use a rod or wand with which to at- tract the attention of the classes, by rapping cn the floor.
 When pupils are received here they are wholly ignorant. The progress they make is astonishing. Before the scholastic year is half over, nearly all of them have learned to write and have acquired sufficient articulation to com municate their thoughts to each other and to their instructors. Their speech Is harsh and it Is said that many of them do not undertake to use the voice method of communication after leav- ing the school because of embarrass- ment.
 The advanced pupils in this school are doing quite as good average work as are the pupils in any grammar school o, the state.
 In one class room, a primary grade, I witnessed a drill in arithmetic. Lip problems were given the tots and in- stantly little hands were lifted. Ready answers were made and few of them were incorrect
 Friends of The Advertiser. In another class room was lntroouc- ed as a representative of The Adver- tiser There was clapping of little hands. and the young woman teacher explained that was in the presence of loyal friends. Current events was part of the course of training in this room and the children had learned that The Advertiser IS not only great newspaper. but that 1t is devoted friend of their school
 There are fourteen literary teachers and five industrial instructors in the school for the deaf. Besides these, there are nine men and women in the domestic department.
 There Is a capable corps of teachers at the school for the blind. about which more Is to be written.
 Talladega Is the ideal place for the location of these schools It is com munity of culture. a community of re- finement and a religious community, Talladega is noted for its health. The city Is more than 500 feet above the sea. and being surrounded by moun- tains the air Is pure and bracing. The sewerage and water systems of the city | are perfect
 Alabama has done we'll for these schools but there are necessities which | the next legislaturs will no doubt sup. ply There Is no more worthy insti- tuition in the State.

IS DENIED BY G0FF
RECoRDER He.srUsFs NEW TRIAL
 TO ALBERT PATRICK.
Relieved Tint Attorneys Expected An Adverse Decision and That Th.y Make Appeal to the su-
 prcme Court.

New York, June 11--Recorder Golf to- day denied a motion for a new trial in the case of Albert T. Patrick the coa- victed murderer of William Marsh Rice
 Patrick's lawyers. 1t is said. were pre- pared for an adverse decision, and have the papers ready for an application to the United States Supreme Court for a writ of error and for wrat of habeas corpus. These applications would again delay the carrying out of the death sen tence and would make the fifth post- ponement for Patrick, who has now been In the death house Tn Sing Sing for more than four years.
 The last resort in the effort to save Patrick will be an application to Gov ernor Higgins for communication of the. death sentence.
 Recorder Con in his decision 6e,v. Ing the motion for new trial for pa. rick declares that on no one of tb. grounds urged In the motion is tf are sufficient cause to grant a new tr,si He believes that no matter what .esti- mony Jones the former valet of MT. Rice. might give at new triai 1t could not have any effect upou the jury other than which Jones' testimonv may have exerted upon the fury wh;c5 convicted Patrick
 Of the witnesses who testified at the recent hearing concerning alloSed denials by Jones of the testimony eiv en by him at the Patrick trial. tho c,.- cision says:
 Tt would be taxing human creduiit, to a point beyond forebearance to ever ask twelve men in q jury box to give credence to the witnesses who have testified to the alleged admission of Jones Apart from the inherent prob abilities of their stories, the trial of a common design and purpose was un- mistakable."
 As to the experiments made upou caravers in the morgue by experts err- ployed by Patrick. upon which they based their contention that the use ot embalming fluid would destroy the lungs for diagnostic purposes tho ro corder says:
 The conclusion is irresistible that these experiments were not conducted for love of science, that the interests involved were subjective and that tie results claimed were tinged with the of prepossession."s

A LAW WITH TEETH
MEAT INSPECTION BrrL WILL BE
 PASSED.
Representative Henry of the AEricul- fure Committee says That Ac- ti0n By the Present Con-
 gress is q Certainty.

Washington, June 11.-Consideration of the proposed meat inspection law occupied some time today at the White House. the President consulting with several members of Congress regarding the question. Representative Henry of Connecticut, of the Agricultural Committed. talked to the President. "A satisfactory meat inspection law will be enacted" said Mir. Henry. Tt will be a law which will have teeth. too. It will be along the lines of the proposed amendment of Senator Bev- eridge to the agricultural appropria- tion bill. but there may be some modi- fication of that proposition"
 MT HeLry would not venture to say precisely what the House provision would contain, but he thought 1t would meet the approval of the President and of the people.
 Speaker Cannon and Senator Hop klns of Illinois also discussed the sub ject of meat inspection with the Presi- dent.
 Speaker Cannon declared the House will pass an inspection measure that will be just and fair alike to the public and packers, the stock raisers and the shippers.
 Just what the nature of the act may be l do not know" he said.
 Senator Beveridge of Indiana, who drew the amendment to the agricultu- ral appropriation bill concerning meat inspection, after a talk with the Presi- dent declared that the talk about the proposed amendment being unconsti- tutional was beside the real question. He said 1t had been drawn and re- drawn carefully several times and he thought there was To more doubt of its constitutionality than there was of the constitutionality of the inspection of meat products intended for foreign consumption. He added that if the government were required to pay the cost of inspection 1t simply would mean the defeat of the object of the measure. He also added that the re- port that the President had agreed to compromise on the meat measure was absolutely without foundation.
