COARSE PRISON FARE
FOR LAWYER PATRICK
Man Who Enjoyed IuxuItes In Death
Cell Now Reduced to Bread and Cof-

~ Publishers Press.

~ Publishers Press.
New York, Dec. 22.-Albert T. Pat
rick, whose sentence to death for the
murder of William M. Rice was re-
Gently committed to life imprisonment,
began his life term sentence today. At
$3.50 am. he was aroused with the other
prisoners on his tier and was one Of
the first to step out and form in line
for the lockstep march to the big mess
hall for breakfast, which consisted Of
bread and coffee.
This bill,of-fare was a radical change
for Patrick, as during the several years
he occupied a condemned man Is cell he
was. supplied with choice meats from
the warden's table. He did not ap-
pear to have much of an appetite for
the scant breakfast.
From the mess hall Patrick was sent
to the door and sash factory, where he
was put to work. He wore plain suit,
except for four small stripes on the leg
and sleeve, indicating year for which
he. has already served in the state
prison.
! On examination DR.. Irvine, the ply
stefan, found Patrick had no organic
disease and his general health was
good. For the first time Patrick will
have an opportunity tomorrow to at
tend divine service in one of the
chapels Of the prison with his fellow
cOnvicts. l

NEGRO ELUDEs sEARCHERs
Posse Fails to Overhaul Man Who

By Publishers Press.
Fort Reno, Okla, Dec. 22.-The dis
charged negro of the Twenty-ffth in
fantry at Fort Reno, who made the
third attempt upon the life of Captain
Macklin last night, by firing upon him
from ambush, has not yet been appre-
hended. He was tracked by Oklahoma
City bloodhounds to the Darlington
station On the Rock Island road, two
miles northeast of Fort Reno. In his
haste to get away last night the negro
dropped his hat. 1t was an old army
service hat, an impression could be
plainly seen on the front where the
metal figures 1882 had been, showing
conclusiyely that the man was one of
the discharged negroes of the Twentyr
kilograms have been sent to all the
stations on the Rock Island line, but

The fact that this is the third at

assassination theory, but the captain

company in his proper place, excepting
the two men who had been killed.
The Twenty-ffth regiment further
distinguished itself at Valentine, Neb.,
on the night of Oct. 80, 1904, when
certain members Of it "shot up" that
able house and severely wounding an UNI
offending cowboy. This case was very
similar to that at Brownsville. In a
letter to Secretary Loeb. Dec. 6, 1906,
Seth Bullock, the famous plainsman
and personal friend of the president,
said among other things, about the Val
entine affair: HSeveral shots were
fired into house in which were "a
number of people, killing woman and
ing his horse near the house,. .
Shielded by Comrades.
No shots were fired from the house,
nor was there any reason for the shoot
ing by the negro soldiers. There were
twelve soldiers in the attacking party.
The local authorities did everything in
their power to find the guilty parties,
but, as at Brownville, their comrades
murderers The house fred into was a
dance house. and the woman killed was
an inmate of the house, but this is not
considered good defense in the wild
and woolly west, and should not be in
Washington, for murder.
This record of the Twenty fifth regi-
ment, and the unprovoked and coward
ly shooting of Captain Macklin last
night, make case against the regiment
which has caused Senator Foraker a
good deal of uneasiness. He has been
especially disturbed over the attempt
to murder Captain Macklin.
If the trip of Mr.. Purdy to Browns
vile should result in the disclosure of
important facts bearing on the case,
the president will also give those facts

Grain Trader Says It Is Bet

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Fargo, N. D., Dec. 22.-John D. Shan
ahan Of the United States department
of agriculture, one of the best known
grain graders in the country, has been
spending a few days in the northwest
investigating for the government the
methods of grain grading. he finds
the work is more satisfactorily done in
Minneapolis than in Duluth because Of
the interest the millers take in the
matter.
He doubts the advisability of the
Wisconsin inspection because of the
differences of opinion that would arise
oyer two inspections of the same grain.
The national inspection, he thinks, has
its good points, but it would be so
long before it could become practical
that the grain trade would be up in
the air some years after it's adoption
Mr.. Shanahan is convinced that the
agitation over. both the Wisconsin and
the national inspection has resulted in
a great improvement in the Minnesota
inspection and that it is now, perhaps,
better than at any former period.

The Plan Never Tried.

why MS plan, after having been sug.'
gested by these men and worked out
by him to "a point definite enough to
have permitted trial, never was tried,
Mr.: ,Midgley did not say. His courtesy
and consideration are so marked that
he speaks of these giants of finance
guardedly, and does not presume to.
draw differences as to their motives,
past, present or, future. But to one,
who would put two things together,
the idea might occur that later; break
time existing between Mr.. Hartman
and Mr.. Hill might reasonably account
for. this and the acerbity with which
Mr.. Hill referred to Mr.. Midgley Is plan
in the Minneapolis inquiries would lend
strength to this inference. q
= Mr.. Midgley's plan is based on the
premise that there is today in the
United States sufficient railroad equip
ment to handle all the crops produced
and everything manufactured and ton
mage Of every description. He would
establish at the logical geographical
point, which presumably would be Chi
cago, grand, central car clearing
house. Important branches would Of
necessity be maintained at Minneapolis,
Pittsbnrg, st. Louis and other points
that will at once occur to the mind of
anyone at all familiar with the railroad
map of the United States.
He argues that the plan is not only.
practicable, but necessary. Unless
something Of the, kind is put into ope.
ration regular recurring periods Of car
shortage, transportation paralysis, fnan-
cial losses and great hardships upon
the public may be expected. ID,
