LIBERTY OR DEATH
HOW PATRICK HENRY OELlv.
Erred GREAT GRAFTON.
( Physical impression Declared to Have
Been 40 Strong 40 the Intel.
iectual--stirred His Hear
ers to Madness. t


The most overwhelming of Patrick
Henry's great orations is that which
he pronounced before the convention
which met in st. Johns church at
Richmond, March 20, 1775, writes
Lyndon Orr in Munsey's. Already
the mutterings of war were SO dis.
tinct that Henry, instead of conceal
ing the facts, declared that war was
even then on foot. y
I'VE must fight" he said. "An ap-
peal to arms and to the God Of hosts
is all that Is left us!"
Curiously enough. even Of this ora
ton there is no authentic record. Ger
tain sentences, certain stirring
phrases, were remembered by many
who were there; but the speech as
we have 1t is almost surely restora-
tion by William Writ, himself an elo-
quent and brilliant orator. He sup
piled the gaps in what his informants
repeated to- him, piecing out their
recolleotions with his own vivid fancy.
But the spirit OF Henry flames all
through it, and to Henry may be safe
ly ascribed such burning sentences as
these
II have but one lamp by which my
feet are guided, and that is the lamp
of experience. / know of no way of
judging the future but by the past"
Three millions of people armed, IN
the holy cause of liberty, and In such
country as that which we possess
are invincible by any force which our
enemy can send against u.s."
Gentlemen may cry peace, peace.
but there is no peace!"
rs life so dear or peace so sweet,
as to be purchased at the price of
chains and slavery? Forbid 1t, AL.
mighty God! know not what course
others may take; but as for me, give
me liberty or give me DEATH"
AS in the case OF all orators of the
very first rank, the physical impress
sion made by Henry was as strong as
the intellectual. There exists a de-
scription of his appearance while de-
livering this last great speech-a de-
scription that came from one who
was present at the time. 1t tells how,
when Henry rose and claimed the
floor, there was an "unearthy fire
burning in his eyes. He commenced
somewhat calmly, but his smothered
excitement began more and more to
play upon his features and thrill in the
tones Of his voice. The tendons OF
his neck stood out white and rigid
like whipcords. Finally. his
pale face and glaring eyes became
terrible to look upon" The witness OF
the scene who gave this vivid picture
said that he himself "felt sick with
excitement" When the orator hafI
finished his speech, ut seemed as If
a word from him would have lei to
any wild explosion of violence. Men
looked beside themselves"

Columbus, o., Nov. 30.-The report
OF the investigation OF the Athens
state hospital given out by Gov. Har-
ris Friday shows that the investiga.
tors found that the death of Mrs.
Worth, an inmate who was scalded
In a bath tub, was due to pneumonia
and not to burns; that the charges of
lack OF medical attention to patients
and of unfit meat served are not sus.
tanned. They do find, however, that
the officials do not keep in close
enough touch with the details of the
work In the wards, and that the sub
ordinates do not have definite ideas
as to the scope of their duties.

May Cause Conflict Of Authority.

New York Nov. 30.-Supreme Court
Justice Seabury, on motion of Attor-
ney General Jackson, on Friday ap-
pointed Paul Fuller, Melville G.. Pal.
lizer and Hampden Dougherty reoeiv-
ers for the New York City railway and
for the Metropolitan street railway
This action of Justice Seabury may
precipitate conflict of authority be-
tween the state and federal officials
over control of the lines of the Metro
politan system, which are already in
charge of Adrian Joline and Douglas
Robinson, appointees of the United
States court. The Metropolitan COM
pany controls practically all of the
surface traction lines in Manhattan
and the Bronx. This property was
leased to the New York City Railway
Co. and subsequently the Metropolitan
Securities Co, holding company, was
formed.

MORE POWER FOR
UNCLE JOE
AND LESS FOR MINORITY LEADER
WILLIAMS is THE PLAN.
DEVISED BY A DEMOCRAT
Congressman Joneo, Of Virginia, Would
Put the Appointment of All House
Committees in the Hands of
Speaker Cannon.

Washington, Nov. 30.--At a caucus
of democratic members of the house
scheduled for . p. IN. to-day, Repre-
sentative Jones, of Virginia, will in.
troduce a resolution to this effect:
THAT II Is the sense of the demo.
cratic members that all appointments
to committees should be made by the
speaker"
The purpose underlying this seem.
ingly commonplace proposal is to take
out. of the hands of John Sharp Will.
ianis the naming of the democratic
members OF the house commit tees.
Speaker Cannon" said Mr.. Jones
last night, lever since he has been
the ruler OF the house has turned over
all minority committee assignments to
Mr. Williams. thereby providing a
source of unpleasantness and squab-
bles between such of the minority as
were not pleased with all of Mr.. Will.
iaIns' selections. This has been a
shrewd move on the speakers part to
disrupt the democratic side of the
house. If he can repeat 1t this year
the results are likely to be specially
disastrous to the democrats.
In introducing resolution for the
naming OF all committees in their en-.
tirety by the speaker ! must not be
understood as aiming to discredit the
leader of the minority. On the con.
trary, Mr.. Williams and have always
been good friends / told him some
time ago of my intention TO introduce
such a resolution. He neither said
that he would uphold or oppose it,"
The increased number of democratic
members OF the house inclines the
leaders of the minority to believe that
there should be seven democrats Of
committees which last session had but
six. and resolution embodying that
sentiment will be adopted at to.day's
caucus and conveyed TO the speaker.
