 Case.
 New York, Feb. 11.--An echo of the famous Patrick murder trial was heard today, when Justice Bowling in the Supreme Court, set March as the date for the commencement of the trial of David L. Short and Morris Meyers on charges of perjury and forgery.
 Albert T. Patrick is now serving a life sentence in prison for the murder of William March Rice. an aged Texas millionaire. in 1901. Short Is charged with having drawn up and attested a fraudulent will disposing of Rice's property. Meyers was a law clerk in Patrick's office. who witnessed the sig nature purporting to be that of Rice on the will When the case came up today. counsel for the accused pleaded for more time. saying it would take two or three months at least to pre- pare defense and get ready for trial.
 Justice Bowling, however, took the view that there has been sufficient op- portunity to prepare a defense in the several years since the charges first were made.

Washington, Feb. 1i.-Interest in the proceedings of the House of Rep- resentatives today attached q mild criticism of the President by Mir. Taw. ney, chairman of the Committee on Appropriations. for having, as Mir. Tawney charges, appointed the Inland Waterways Commission without au- thority of law.
 The debate was on the urgent de- ficiency bill and grew out of q Senate amendment to pay John H, Bankhead, now Senator from Alabama, for his services on the commission. The right of the President to appoint such corn- rnissioners was upheld by Messr. Crum- packer, of Indiana. and Underwood. of Alabama The House. however, re- fused to accept the amendment. In a vigorous speech, Mfr. Harrison, of New York, condemned Secretary of State Root for his manner of handling the negotiations with Russia, regard- ing passports to Russian Hebrew citi. gems of the United States, while MT. Lowden, of Illinois, with equal force defended Secretary Root, saying the negotiations would result satisfactorily to Jewish citizens desiring to visit Russia.
 The Indian appropriation bill was discussed for some time and was amended in several important partic- ulars. 1tk considerations ,waa not con. cluded.

dered in the Chinese quarter here last

"As the result of his murder I am

the Chinese in the United States and
such will mark an epoch in the de-
yeIopment of the cinnamon in
America. When the Chinese have
been christianized, then there will no
longer be any yellow peril for the

CHOP SUEY TRADE BAD
A Number of - Chinese Restaurants
Forced Out of, Business.

Chicago, July 20.-The Chinese res
taurant business in Chicago is on the
decline. Several chop suey resorts
have closed their doors during the last
two months, and the condition of af-
fairs is SO alarming that Chinese res
taurant keepers held a meeting to dis
cuss the matter.
Gee Lung, who is heavily interested
in chop suey restaurants, has been en-
gagged in the trade ten years. he said,
and the present season is the worst he
has experienced.
Web Voy, who has a chop suey re-
sort in West Madison street, predict
ed that this savory Chinese dish would
be only a memory inside of year or
two.
IF it were not for the American
dishes that we now serve" said Wah
Moy. there wouldn't be a Chinese
chop suey place left in Chicago"
1T is right that we should meet to
discuss the danger that threatens tho
chop suey business" said Hip Lee.
There were between $50 and 200 Chi
nese restaurants in Chicago before
they began to close their doors. The
business here amounted to about ST.
900 900 year.
I'VE will have to find out what is
the cause of the decline Of chop suey
or else the business will go all to
smash"
