Albert T. Patrick, the lawyer who is
serving a life sentence in the state
prison at Sing Sing, on the charge of

s''nnosed to have been prepared by
Patrick himself. will probably be for
nally presented to the supreme court
of the United States tomorrow and if
rot then. at an early day in the future
Patrick's brief accompanying the
motion is cOuched in strong language
and some of the accusations are SEN
sational to a degree. He declares that
he is in prison as result of arbitrary
exercise of power by the governor Of
New York, who was then Mr.. Higgins;
that the court which tried his case
was without jurisdiction and hence
that he was illegally convicted
Patrick also makes grave charges
against the management of Sing Sing
prison, alleging that he is suffering
f''N'"1 " r0'nnlioation OF grave diseases,
he says that he cannot obtain efficient
o.4u -, lnpathetlc medical treatment in
the prison He then charged that the
prison is conducted with the intent
and the effect of injuring the prisoners
mentally. morally and physically,
generally to their utter ruin. under
color of arbitrary and unavoidable
rules, enforced at discretion; whereby
the prison authorities hold an arbi-
trary control over the prisoners, exer-

themselves and other individuals"

PAPER FROM RICE.
John 3. Hardy Says Future Supply
Will Be From That Source.

Portland. Me-, Oct 1S-John B.
Hardy of New York. an admitted au-
thority regarding rice and it's by-prod-
ucts, who was here last week, said that
in his opinion the experiments to be
made by the United State will show
That the future supply of pulp for the
paper mills of Maine must come from
the rice fields of Texas and Louisiana
He said that he was personally sat
isfied as a result of experiments made
under his direction that the best of
newspaper stock can be made from rice
straw. and that the discovery of an
unlimited use for the straw would
greatly assist in adding to the acreage
of the rice fields.
He said that there are practically
aud that the pumping stations, canals
and iaterals are already large enough
to irrigate 100000 acres more, and there
are perhaps 100000 acres OF good rice
land beside. There is yield OF about
ton and a half of straw to the acre
ard 1t is burned now, for it's only val
ue Is for manure.
Mr.. Hardy said he is confident that
the development of the rice industry
will be greatly helped forward by the
discovery that excellent paper pulp can
be made from the now almost useless
straw. "The paper mills of Maine" he
said, could just as well receive pulp
from the South as from Nova Scotia
and the supply would be practically
unlimited, and, not like pulp wood to
be secured only by the destruction of
valuable forests"

A FALSE RUMOR.
Turkey Says That All Her Troops
Have Not Been Ordered Out.

Constantinople, Oct. 1s.-The report
that the mobilization of the Turkish
troops had been ordered is unfounded.
Presumably it arose through the fact
that certain battalions of the Anatolian
reserves, attached to the Saloniki and
AdrianOple army corps, were con-
verged for the maneuvres in the native
districts, and that three battalions
were ordered to Constantinople from
Macedonia for police service in the
capital, these being replaced by an
equal number of Redifs from Smyrna

LIGHT REGISTRATION
In Massachusetts,, Showing Lack Of In
terest in Coming Election.

Boston. Oct. 1S-That there is an
unusual lack OF interest by the rising
generation in the coming election is
apparently shown by the slight in
crease in the registration in the 81
cities in the state as compared with
similar registrations in other PreSi-
dental years.
The total registration of the 33 cities
this year was 369.O33 compared with
365.314 in 1904. 334,122 in 1900 and
302.2S4 in 1896
The usual increase every four years
in the city registrations of Massachu-
sets is about s per cent. while this
year It amounts to scarcely more thar
| per cent.
The registration i'm the towns will
close Oct. "A, and if the same ratio OBJ
tains in the 1921 smaller communities
about 200 900 names will be placed OF
the voting list. which would bring the
total for the state to nearly 100000, the
largest in its history, but only 5000
more than in 1905.
