GOVERNOR MAY NOT
SAVE PATRICK
SPECIAL pISPATCH no THE CALL

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Weighty in
f1uence is being brought to bear on
Governor Higgins in the last days of
his term to commute the sentence of
Albert T. Patrick, who for nearly five
years has been a prisoner IN the death
house in Sing Sing Penitentiary await
ing death in the electric chair for the
murder of William Marsh Rice Texan
millionaire who died in this city under
suspicious circumstances.
1t was reported today that Governor
Higgins had decided, in view of the
doubt that the prosecution had fully
proven it's case to commute Patrick's
sentence to life Imprisonment
The Governor in Olean tonight,
shortly before he departed for Albany,
declared that the published statements
concerning his attitude in the Patrick
case were without his authority
II have not decided on any action In
this matter" said Higgins. "or author
lied any statement to be made
Neither Samuel F. Thomas, who is
Patricks attorney, nor Clark Bell, who
secured a remarkable petition from
$500 doctors asking for clemency in the
case, had heard anything of a decision
on the part of the Governor to COM
mute the sentence.

ROOSEVELT WANTS
To BE SENATOR
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The return
of President Roosevelt tomorrow may
be followed by developments of an i'm
portant nature in New York politics.
There is little doubt that an effort will
be made at once to induce him to aid in
the movement to force Senator Platt to
resign.
The thing that special interest at
taches TO in this matter is the fact that
the President has arranged 1t in his
mind that he shall take up the Sena-
torial toga of Platt when the latter
drops il. 1t can be stated on high au-
thority that the last time the President
discussed with political intimates the
likelihood OF a change in New York's
representative in the Senate he ex-
pressed desire to succeed Platt, whose
term expires on March 4, 1909. On this
same date the President will have COM
pleted his term in the White House.
Should Platt resign the friends of the
President will insist that a man be
named who will give up the place at the
expiration of the term, SO that Roose-
Welt may step in.

BREAKUP Of TRUST
WOULD AID ALL
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-When ask
ed if the dissolution of the Standard
Oil trust, as prayed for in the Govern
ment's petition would be of immedi-
ate or prospective benefit to the coun-
try. one of the high officials of the De-
partment of Justice, who has given this
case considerable study, expressed the
opinion that immediate results We're
doubtful, although he was confident
that the deterrent effect upon other
corporations inclined to pursue the
system, so admirably worked out by
the oil trust would in the end bring re-
lief to the people.
"I cannot say that there would be
Immediate effect" was the answer, "or
that the price of oil would be any
less to consumers throughout the coun-
try or even that the stifiing of compe-
tition would be stopped in quick time,
but I frankly believe that a decision
dissolving this great corporation would
be of incalculable benefit in the future.
So far as outward appearances go the
decision in the Northern Securities
case, in which President j. ]. Hill tried
to combine the Northern Pacific. the
Great Northern and the Burlington
roads does not seem to have amounted
to much, as the three roads probably
are operated under some private un-
derstanding which prevents actual COM
petition. Neither did the legal actlon
against the beef trust appear to have
any effect in reducing the price of
meats"
After reviewing the three forms of
conspiracy in restraint of trade. each
of which are charged against the
Standard Oil Company in the petition.
this official continued:
Unless some form of combination
different from these three may be dis
covered the dissolution of the corpora
tion will result in the eventual break
ing apart of the seventy companies
composing the trust and the possible
beginning of genuine competition. The
combination could go back to the sim
pie trust form, which would make it
difficult for the Government to know
what was going on, but sooner or later
there would be a falling out, as I have
already shown. with some measure of
competition"

AWAIT THE ACTION
OF CONGRESS
Postal Officials Will Not
Deal at This Time With
Issue Raised by Canada
INQUIRY BEING MADE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The POST
office Department will be guided by
congressional legislation in dealing
with the issue raised by the Canadian
Government in abrogating the pro
visions of the postal convention
between the two countries relating
to second class matter which. ac-
cording to Canada's notice, will ex-
pire May Z, 1907. This provision per-
mits the transmission through the
mails of periodical publications, which
include newspapers, at the rate of 1
cent a pound.
A joint commission of the Senate
and the House. OF which Senator PEN
rose is chairman. has been engaged
since October 1 in taking testimony
covering the whole subject of second
class mail matter and as an outcome
of the inquiry the general expecta-
ton Is that some legislation will be
enacted If no legislation be enacted,
then the two governments will fall
back on the International union postal
rates when the provision IN the exist
ing treaty expires, unless In the mean
time Canada shall come forward with
a new proposition for the consfdera-
tion of this government
The international postal rates on
second class matter is l cent for two
ounces.
For some time past the Canadian
Government has found fault with the
construction placed on some classes of
second class mail matter by this gov
ernrnent when it came to the matter
of its application for transmission
through Canadian territory. Proba-
bly, one hundred different periodicals
which are transmitted through the
United States mails at second class
rates have been denied similar privi-
Ieges in the Canadian mail service, al
though some of them were subsequent
ly restored to the privilege. American
periodicals have enjoyed a large circu-
lation throughout Canada, which, with
their attractive advertisements, it Is
suggested at the Postoffice Depart
ment, have worked prejudicially to
the trade interests of the Canadians
and to the periodicals published there.

PALo ALTO ON THE BOOM
Property Values Increase and New
Buildings Are Being Constructed

PALO ALTO, Nov. 25.-The univer-
sity town of Palo Alto is experiencing
a boom in real estate. The sudden rise
of property values is due principally to
the proximity of Stanford University.
The local land dealers are optimistic and
predict that within few. years the
municipality will equal the rival col
lege town of Berkeley
The latest development which has
sent property values upward is the
completion of the new electric system
which traverses the heart of the sub
urb and renders accessible certain
properties which were formerly not
considered good investments This new
line will soon connect Palo Alto with San
Jose, and with this possibility in view
tracts of land between Palo Alto and
MayfieId are being eagerly taken up by
investors. Hundreds of homeseekers
are also applying for small lots in the
outlying tracts near here
So fast is the town spreading that

project with open arms, as have all of

The building of homes in Palo Alto

are preparing to settle in Palo Alto
and nearby points as soon as the new
schedule of the coast route is put into

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE cAL1

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL
MOBILE. Nov. 25.-Governor Jeffer-
son Davis. newly elected United States
Senator for Arkansas, in an interview
says politicians preach harmony, but
it is not harmony that is needed so
much as an old fashioned row in the
United States Senate.
With gentle. kind spirited Bob
Taylor of Tennessee. Pitchfork' Till
man of South Carolina, the fearless
Vardaman of Mississippi, there will be
first-class row when 1 get to the
Senate. There will be something doing

He said that the race of life in
this day and time is not the fair and
equal one which was in the minds of
the trainers of this Government; that
the combinations OF capital called
trusts have defeated the objects of the
constitution and of the law. II is a
day of commercialism, of greed of
graft. People place gold above good
and money above men. He saw dam
ger 10 the Government from two kinds

trodden condition may combine to turn
and rend 1t. To the third class. the
middle class. who serve the god of their
fathers-the honest yeomanry of the
republic, is committed the task of saw

Davis declared a belief that no man
ever made a million dollars honestly;
that to accumulate that vast sum he
must tramp1e on the heads and hearts
of his fellow creatures.
But the trust is not the only evil"
said the Senator. There are the
bucket-shops The bucket-shop has
brought more misery, ruined more
homes, wrecked more businesses and
made more straight men crooked and
destroyed more lives than any other
agency. Why is the bucket-shop an
evil? Because it CANDLES on the fruits
of labor and upon the products of the
soil"
Davis gave graphic description of
a visit to the New York cotton ex-
change, which he called the great
bucket shop" where few gamblers

a plaything of the South's greatest
staple. men who never owned a pound
