IS DEAD WITHIN LAW
NOVEL PLEA FOR LIBERTY
MADE BY PATRICK.
Claims He Paid Penalty in Full by
Suffering Solitary Confinement
Usual Before Execution.

NEW YORK. November 29.-Albert I.
Patrick, whose sentence of death for the
murder of William Marsh Rice was COM
muted to life imprisonment al Sing Sing.
appeared today before the appellate di-
vision of the supreme court in Brooklyn
to argue that. within the law, he has
already suffered death. and thus has
paid his debt to the state in full and
should he set free.
Patrick contends that the solitary con-
finement preceding electrocution has been
held by the United States Supreme Court
to be part of the penalty decreed in a
death sentence. He served that time
in full. and now makes the point that
when the court of appeals reaffirmed the
decision of the court of conviction and
set a new date for execution It trans
crossed his constitutional right in order
ing him to serve another period of SOL
itary confinement, thereby duplicating a
punishment he had already suffered.
The failure of the warden to electro
cute, in compliance with the first order
of the court, argues Patrick. constitutes
an act of nOnfeasance.

FRANZ FERDINAND's VISIT.
Austrian Grand Dukes Call on
Emperor William.
ris Edition New York Herald.

Faris E1ition New York Herald.
The present visit of the Arcbduke
Franz Ferdinand and his consort to the
German court is being followed with close
attention throughout Europe, The re-.
cept1on accorded to the heir of the Aus
TRAN throne by the kaiser is marked by
suoh complete cordially as to raise the
visit above n simple act of courtesy.
which such visits often ere. This Is spe-
cfally clear from the unusual honors paid
to the consort of the Archduke Franz
Ferdinand. In spite of the difference of
rank between the Duchess Of Hohenberg
and her imperial husband, the kaiser has
waived all questions OF court etiquette
and has accorded her the position she
would occupy If she were of imperial
blood. This. in court like that of Prus-
s!s, where The rules OF precedence are
like the laws of the Modes and Persiars
measures the extent OF the kaiser's desire
to cultivate the friendship of his guest
IL mas been commonly runiored that on
the Arahduke Franz Ferdinand's success
sion his conscrt will be proclaimed Queen
OF Hungary, as there is nothing in the
constitution OF that country to prevent the
cohsort of the king wearing the crown,
even II she be not Of royal birth. Her
recent elevation to the rank of duchess
the highest below royal rank, has been
regarded as a step toward this goal. Her
elevation 10 queenly rank will be rendered
doubly easy II it has in advance the ap-
prevail OF the German emperor 1T is
clear that William ii Is leaving no stone
unturned to bind his Austrian ally to him
by personal as we'll as political ties
There is little doubt that no two countries
in Europe stand SO close to one another
as Germany and Austria Hungary. This
was conclusively proved during the Bal

Archduke Franz Ferdinand to Potsdam
Is q fresh proof of the fact

CHINA'S AWAKENING.
How the Celestials Are Progressing
in the Modern Arts.

From the Literary Digest.
Nothing shows more clearly the fact
| that China is waking from her long sleep
than the rapid Introduction Of industries
and mechanical employments. on the
European plan, into that country. A con-
| tributor to Cosmos paris, october s. as
sures us that this introduction is taking
place much more quickly and thoroughly
than most oecidentals imagine. Although
the European colonies have been instru-
mental in the matter, the native Chinese
eagerly adopt and use the western de-
vices. Says the paper named above:
European Industries have begun TO be
introduced into China. and their progress
is now becoming more and more rapid.
At Canton in particular We find a series
of factories whose presence greatly as
tonishes those who think of China still
fixed in the past. Here we find a cement
factory. the property Of the government.
but directed by Chinese under the guild
ance of German engineers: no less than
500 barrels Of cement daily are turned out.
Canton also has water works run en-
tirely by Chinese, which furnishes daily
more than 100000 gallons Of water to
10000 subscribers. This latter figure
shows clearly that the Chinese are quick
to understand the advantages of perfected
processes. and notably of the house-to-
house distribution OF water. when they
have the wherewithal to pay for it,
I'VE find also at Canton, besides the
arsenal, a smokeless powder factory as
we'll as the provincial mint there is also
a paper mill and cigarette factory, not
to mention the railway shops
and various shops for the construction
and repair of vessels.
But what is perhaps the most curious
thing to find in this very Chinese city,
where. in spite Of the foreign quarter. the
natives form large portion of the Glen
tele Of all these industries, Is an electric
plant, installed on the most modern plan.
This station was erected by the Chinese
Light and Power Company, whose head
quarters are at Hongkong. II stands in
the district called Ng Sin Moon. which
means Southern Gate. The necessary mo-
tive force IL furnished In the first place
by three Diesel motors. using crude pc
troeum and giving together 600 horse
power. There are also five steam engines
yielding 80 horsepower. The steam is
produced by four Babcock & Wilcox
water tube boilers. burning Japanese coal
and furnished with a Green economizer.
Condensers Of a good type assure excel
lent working and the forced-draft system
Is used.
"All the workmen in this station, to
the number of 121, are Chinese. The cur
rent which is alternating, Is conveyed
away at tension of 1900 volts. The con-
ductors are aerial and held up by iron or
wooden posts. Before reaching the con-
sumner it is lowered to the more modest
tension of only 100 volts. The subscribers
are divided between the foreign conces-
sion of Shameen and the Chinese town
OF Canton proper. but they are more
numerous in the Chinese city. Accord
ing to figures in our possession and which
date back to the beginning Of 1909 there
are more than 2,64O."
