likely to be reference to the great need of
additional space for the office. No govern
ment work compares with that of the patent
office. in that it earns large amount Of
money annually instead of eating it up.
Yet the employees are housed more poorly
than almost any others in Uncle Sam 8
service. For years the commissioner has
inserted paragraph in his report to Con-
gress through the Secretary of the Interior,
asking for additional room, but without re-
suit. Money has been appropriated for
other buildings, while the patent office has
gone on in the old way. That more
strenuous effort to secure a new building
will be made this winter is said to be prob
able
For the first time in many months the
work of the examining divisions of the pat
ent office is practically up to date, shown
by a report dated September 49, The de-
crease in the number of applications for
patents awaiting action has been excep-
tional.
In the drafting division the work is up to
date for the first time in two years.
So earnest have the employees been to
make a splendid record for the Office that
they have volunteered to work after hours.
Recently sixteen clerks stayed at their
desks for several hours when they could
have been away enjoying freedom from toll.
This sort of thing has brought all of the
work in the clerical divisions also prac-
tically up to date.

ROBERT R, HIT DEAD
Illinois Representative Expires
at His Summer Home.
HEART FAILURE THE CAUSE
Widow and Two Sons With Him at
the End.
HIS REMARKABLE CAREER
Long Service in Congress-Was As
sistant Secretary of State-A
Trained Stenographer.

NARRAGANSETT PIER, r. l., Septem-
Der 20.--Representative Robert R. Hit of
Illinois died at his summer home here to-
day.
Heart failure. following a long period Of
increasing physical weakness, finally
caused the death of Representative Hit.
Mrs. Hit and her two sons, w. S. Hit
and R. H. Hit, were at the bedside of
the representative when he died.
Robert Roberts Hit was born in Urbana,
Ohio, January 16, 1884. When three years
of age he removed with his parents to
Ogle county, Illinois. and was educated at
the Rock River Seminary. now known as
Mount Morris College, and at the DePauw
University.
Mount Morris is a quaint old-fas hioned
town that still bears the impress of the
pioneer. In the center of the town is a
Dunkard college. and the college and the
town have the same characteristics. There
Is also an old brick building erected by Mr.
Methodist school in the thrties in which
day 1t was known as Rock River Seminary,
Methodist school, where such men Sem
ator Cullom, Secretary of War John A.
Rawlins, Senator Rawlings, Judge Cochran
of the Wisconsin supreme court received
their earlier education.
1t was also in this school that Mr.. Hit
won his first honors as a student, and in
later years when the old buildings needed
repairing, 1t was he who furnished the
money to do the work. Then the college
flourished for while under Methodist rule
but in later years the great schools of that
denomination in the west drew away It's
students and the property was sold to the
Dunkards.
This old town in which Mr.. Hit lived
during the formative period of his life was
very restful and calculated to make the
boy of contemplative mind. It is to this
town that Representative Hit returned
after the adjournment of each session of
Congress. Out there the oldest men called

City. Jacob A. Riis and Horace Knowles of
Wilmington. Postmaster General Cortelyou
also visited Sycamore Hill today.
The Postmaster General reached here on
the 10 o'clock train.
"Mr. Cortelyou, your name has been men,
toned as a possible candidate for the gov

to say anything about your willingness to

Mr.. Cortelyou considered moment

Mr.. Cortelyou said he desired to talk over
with the President few departmental mat

The citizens of Oyster Bay have been
asked by Miss Ethel Roosevelt, the Presi-
dents daughter, to assist her in finding a
ValuaDle gold Watcn Whlch she lost recently
near Jaynes Hill. The following notice is
displayed in the local post office:

white enamel on the back Ethel, attached
to fob of four Amrican gold dollars,
with charms. Probably dropped on road
near Jaynes Hill. Will the finder please re-
turn to President Roosevelt and receive re-

1t was remarked this morning that in the
notice the word dropped is not spelled
phonetically "dropt" Evidently Miss Ethel
does not approve Of her fathers attempts
to improve and simplify the English Ian

Some Oyster Bayites expressed indigna-
ton that 1t should have been thought nee
essary to offer reward for the watch's re-
turn. They declared that 1t would be re-
ward enough for any one here just to be
able to do Miss Roosevelt a favor.

ST. PETERSBURG, September 2O-The
Novoe Vremya reports successful expert
ments in wireless biography between here
and Nauen, near Berlin. Messages have
ben correctly transmitted for a distance
of 800 miles, 600 miles being over land. If
this line proves practicable it will replace
the relay system by gulf and Baltic ports
to Stettin, which was installed after the
October strike to prevent another total in
terruption in communication abroad.
The number of arrests of suspects who
sought to pass the military Gordon around

by the police, lends color to the report Of

Bad Outlook for Winter.
ST. PETERSBURG, September 2O.-The
official report just issued gives but little
ground for expectation that the famine,
which has already a grip on many provinces
in Russia, will be less this winter. AL
though the winter wheat harvest was gen.
orally above the average, spring wheat
proved a disappointment. The rye and oat
crops also were unsatisfactory, especially
the latter. The Volga region. the most
fertile in Russia. was below the average in
the Battles made the best showing, all the
harvest being average.
The winter wheat harvest was generally
above the average and only poor in the
Volga region and less than average in the
eastern portion of the central agricultural
belt. Rye was less satisfactory and only
above the average In Poland and the six
southwestern provinces. Spring wheat was
below the average throughout Russia. In
the Volga region the harvest was bad and
in Ufa, Tambon and Ryazan, among the
largest provinces of the empire, unsatis-
factory. Oats also made a bad showing
and only nine OF the ten Polish provinces
came up to the average. Barley was some
what better. being good in all the Polish
provinces and fairly good in the Battles,
the southwestern provinces. portion of
Lithuania and in Vitegsk and Tver
The zemstvo Golfers are empty through
the failure of the peasants to pay taxes,
and all the work of relieving the famine
falls upon the central government.

TRAFFIC AT A STANDSTILL.
Six Ferry Lines Doing No Bust


NEW YORK. September 2O.-No attempt
was made today by the New York and
Brooklyn Ferry Company to operate its
boats. which were tied up yesterday on &C
count OF a strike of the firemen employed
by the company. Traffic on six lines was at
a complete standstill today. Few passengers
or teams came to the ferry houses today
for transportation across the river. The
traffic was handled in great measure across
the Long Island ferries at Bath street and
the Williamsburg and Brooklyn bridges
The street car lines. the ferry companies
not affected by the strike and the police
having prepared for the rush hour condi-
lions this morning. were able to handle the
crowds without serious trouble or delay
Traff1c conditions on the Williamsburg
bridge were greatly improved today on ac-
count of the Hebrew New Year, and which
kept thousands of people at home who
would otherwise have used the bridge.

APPEAL FOR PATRICK
HUNDREDS OF PHYSICIANS ASK
FOR HIS RELEASE.

ALBANY, N. Y, September 2o.-Nearly
$500 physicians of the state, representing
sol cities and towns, and including some Of
the best known in the profession, are sign
ers of petition presented to Governor
Higgins today, in behalf of Albert T. Pat
rick. the lawyer, convicted and under sem
tence of death since 1901 for the mur0er
of the aged Texan millionaire, William
Marsh Rice, in September, 1900.
The petition is as follows:
"We the undersigned physicians of New
York state have read the medical testimony
presented on a motion for new trial, to
Recorder Goff in the case Of Albert T. Pat
rick charged with the murder of William
Marsh Rice.
1.-THE conclusions Of the experts who tes-
tilted on the motion are quite at variance.
and the questions are novel as well as
grave and important to the members Of
society and especially to the defendant,
and therefore should be justly solved;
ITO this end we petition your eXcellency
to appoint a commission composed of dis
interested experts selected from the medi-
cal profession to examine impartially into
the questones at issue and report their
findings at as early date as possible, and
thus avoid the possibility of mistake in the
case of Patrick, as well as to get final
and just solution of the question.
Main Medical Question.
"The main medical question involved vital
in the conviction of Patrick, is whether the
congestion of the lungs, alleged to have
been found in an autopsy upon Rice's body,
could have been caused by embalming fluid
or must be the result of chloroform with
which Jones, Rice's valet in one Of his
several contradictory confessions, said he
had killed the old man by Patrick's direc-
ton"
The petition was presented by F. G.
Logan, a prominent Chicago business man,
who Is business partner Of John T. Mill
ken, whose wife Is Patricks sister; Lyman
c. Smith of Syracuse and Samuel B. Thomas
of New York of counsel for Patrick.
Only Four Refused to Sign.
Mr.. Thomas said the request for sigma
lures had not been sent to the physicians
of the state until the second week in July
and I'D to date nearly 5000 have returned
their signatures and more are coming in
every mail. Only four physicians. Mr.,
Thomas says, and one of them was Indirect
ly connected with the case. had returned
the petition with refusal to sign. With
the petition were filed about 250 letters from
prominent physicians, several of them adj
dressed to the governor and sent through
Mr. Thomas, reinforcing the formal petit
ton.
A marked feature of these letters was
the contempt expressed by many of the
writer's for expert testimony" rendered for
pay.

religious creed or political affiliations the
people of Mount Morris are fully satisfied
that Mr.. Hit was in every way fitted to be
Vice President or President of the United
States.
Early Life on a Farm.

back from the village and contains between
FIVE and six hundred acres. There is a
great forest back of his house and on the

ago. Mr.. Hit took a great pride in this
old place.
Some of the logs of the cabin have been
replaced and considerable repairing has
been done On it, but it's appearance is ex-
actly as 1t was when the Methodist minis
ter, making his home in the wilderness,
helped hew the logs and put them in place.
The Hit residence in Mount Morris Is
not furnished with that richness of uphol-
stery that marks the home of the wealthy
in the city, but there is everything to con-
tribute to comfort and to indicate that cul-
ture and democratic hospitality are to be
found there A prominent place in the
drawing room is occupied by fine picture
of the late Speaker Thomas b. Reed. Mr.
Hit was a great admirer of dear old Tom
Reed as he called him. Reed had visited
Mr.. Hit at Mount Morris and while there
he sat or lounged on couch directly under
the place where his picture now hangs.
Diplomatic Field Congenial Work.
Mr.. Hit was first secretary of legation
at Paris from 1874 to 1881. and there found
a. congenial atmosphere in the study of
French literature. AT the close of his career
in Paris he was made assistant secretary of

Among Mr.. Hits varied accomplishments
was an ability to write shorthand When
young man he~studied shorthand with the
idea OF becoming a court reporter. He was
successful in that ambition and to the day
of his death on occasions when it was con-
venient he took shorthand notes. In his
time he was first-class verbatim re-
porter and he never ceased to in some
degrees maintain an interest in the art
Foreign affairs and diplomacy were the
special lines of study that interested Mr..
Hit. Ever since he was elected to the
House of Representatives he had been
greatly interested in all matters re.-..ng to
our foreign relations. Speaker Reed maze

affairs and in that capacity he was never
pended upon to give a clear and intelligent
explanation of everything relating to for

NEW YORK, September 2O.-The steamer
Cretic, which arrived here last night from
Mediterranean ports. was detained at quar-
antine today under suspicion of having
had a death from typhus fever aboard. The
ships doctor reports that child died from
typhus fever and was buried at sea, but he
gave no history of the course and symp-
toms Of the disease. What is known in
this country as typhoid fever is often styled
typhus fever by foreign physicians. Ty-
plus fever is much more dangerous than
typhoid fever. Under the supposition that
the case in question was typhus fever, DR..
Doty, health officer of the port. determined
to detain the steerage passengers until
danger of a spread of the disease has
passed. Permission has been given to land
