KILLED FOR REVENGE.
Police Say Patton Vas Not Murdered
for His Money.

Police Inspector James Kane. Of Queens Borough,
said yesterday that he was satisfied that robbery
was not the motive for the murder of Chester
Stone Patton the laundry proprietor Of No. 109
Nassau avenue, Greenpont, who shot to death
on the Shell Road. near Calvary Cemetery Tuesday
night. The inspector said yesterday he had reason
TO believe that the had been killed for revenge
and that his pockets turned inside out and his
money taken to put the police wrong trail
Inspector Kane would give no reason for this
theory. but said he expected arrest would be
made within twenty-four hours. The inspector said
a near relative of the dead man had been asked by
the police 10 go to Long Island City to view the
body Of the victim. He had promised to do so, the
inspector said, but had failed to keep his word.
The inspector added that the lived in Brook
lyn, but he refused to dvulge his name or address.
Inspector Kane said that he was trying to find
out Just where this was between S and
O'Clock on Tuesday night The murder is supposed
70 have been committed between those hours.
Patton had probably about 800 with him when
killed, as he is supposed 10 have collected that
sum from HIS customers The inspector says that II
the murder had been committed by a highway
man he would undoubtedly have had time to seize
PatOn's watch well his money. and would
also have been likely to take the dead ring
as well. The watch and ring found on the
Inspector Kane repeatedly declined to say
whether or not he knew of any why
should have taken Paton's life as an act Of re-
Venge.

Canal WORK NAY STOP.
State Unable to Dispose of Bonds
Hill Has Relief Bill.

Albany Feb. 27.-Probability that work on the
barge canal must be stopped before long unless
the state solve the present difficulty OF dispos
ing Of its 3 per cent canal bonds in the present
condition Of the money market IS responsible FOR
a bill expected to be introduced tomorrow by
Senator Henry Hill. Of Buffalo which. It Is under
stood would relieve financial institutions Of tho
per cent state tax in proportion TO their holdings
Of state bonds, yielding not more than per cent
This exemption, with the freedom of state bonds
themselves from taxation. apparently would be
equivalent to increasing the rate Of interest on
them TO per cent and upward
Senator Hill would say nothing tonight on the
subject. but did not deny that he had a bill OF
great importance to introduce tomorrow.
The lack OF a ready market for the states bonds
has been a source solicitude for some weeks 10
Governor Hughes and the states fiscal officers, but
none Of them will say anything about 1t FOR publ
cation Controller Gynn has had number OF
conferences with the Governor on the subject. The
expected Hill Bill, however, is not known 10 nave
the Governors approval
Only So 100000 worth OF the canal bonds have been
issued. the expenses Of the work thus far have
been more than 100000, leaving only about $3.50
OoJ now available Contracts for about 100000
