PATRICK'S APPEAL DENIED.
His Prayer for Death or Freedom Re.
fused.

New York, June 4.-Albert T. Pat
rick's appeal for liberty or death was
denied by the appellate division Of
the Supreme Court in Brooklyn today.
Patrick had appealed to that court
for a hearing on a writ Of habeas
corpus, which he had obtained from
an individual Justice of the Supreme
Court. ordering the prosecuting Of
ficers to show cause why he should
not be released from prison or put to
death of the murder of VIM. Marsh
Rice.
In support of the writ, Patrick, sew
eral weeks ago made a sensational
personal appeal to the appellate divi-
sion. in which he declared that the
communication of death sentence to
that of life Imprisonment by Cover
nor Higgins constituted the imposition
OF sentence worse than death. Pat
rick also attacked the legality of his
conviction on the ground of conspira-
cy. All the justices Of the appellate
division today concurred in dismissing
the writ of habeas corpus. The court
sustained the judgment Of conviction
and the commutation of his sentence
to that Of life imprisonment and or
dered Patrick to be remanded to Sing
Sing prison.
In the opinion of the court the
most striking paragraph was one
holding that the degree of punish
ment is not determined by the pref
erence of the convict This was in
answer to Patrick's declaration that
life imprisonment was a greater hard
ship than death.

LYNCHED IN FLORIDA.
Maik Morris Hanged Near Florida
Capitol.

Tallahassee, Fla, June 6.-Danr-
ling from limb in the county jaiI
yard, and within sight Of the dome Of
F'loridas capitol, the lifeless body of
Maik Morris, colored, greeted the
people of this city this morning. AL
ready condemned to death for the
murder of William Langston. late
sheriff Of this county, this negro on
Friday, June IL, would have paid
the penalty of his crime with his life
at the hands Of the law. A mob of
not more than Is men decreed other
wise, however. and at 8 o'clock this
morning Morris was dragged from his
cell in the Jail and strung to the limb
OF tree within the Jail inclosure. AS
If to add emphasis to their lawless-
ness, the masked band emptied a
round of cartridges into the lifeless
body of the negro and rode away
without the slightest molestation.
Sheriff Houston was in Georgia and
when the lynchers arrived at the jail
they brought the jailer to the door
with the ruse that they had a pris-
oner. overpowered him, took his keys,
secured the negro Morris, locked the
jailer in Morris cell and soon accom-
plished their work.
Lately Morris had been acting
strangely. and its believed that fear
that the negro would attempt to es-
cape the gallows through feigned in
sanity prompted the act of the mob
members who this morning took the
law into their own hands to avenge
the death Of Sheriff Langston.

HERO AT NIAGARA.
Louis Cohen Leaps Into Water to-
Save His Wife.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, June g.
Louis Cohen of Buffalo saw his young
wife leap into the swirling river be-
tween Second and Third Sister ISL
lands at O'clock this afternoon, only
$50 feet above the brink of the Gaia
ract. Withuot a moments hsitation he
followed and struggled to save her.
She probably died in his arms. Be-
fore it was possible to bring efficient
help, an hour had passed during all
OF which Cohen was making frantic,
attempts to reach the shore. The cur
rent at this point is about 20 miles
an hour. But fortune aided him.
With his wife tightly clasped to him
he felt himself dashed into a ground
tree stump and on this he got
grip with his one free hand. It was
nearly an hour after Mrs. Cohen jump
ed into the river when a police officer.
James Martin, arrived with ropes and
representative James S. Simmons and
three other men
Three times they threw the rope'
before it fell within Cohen's grasp,
and then he was too weak to tie it
about his own or his wife's waist. The
two were 20 feet from shore and IL
was difficult TO make a good cas4.
Cohen had been unble to keep his
wife's face above water.
Once Cohen had hold of the rome
the men on shore began to pull.
When within Is feet of the shore Co
hen lost his grip on his wife'a body
and it was carried down stream and
lost to view
When Cohen got on shore he could
not speak for ten minutes. His first
words We're: "She is out there. Go
and get her. She is dead. She died in
my arms"
AT last two searchers spied Mrs.
Cohen's body held fast by a rock.
about 100 feet above the brink. IL
was with the greatest difficulty that
the two men brought the body To
land. Life was extinct
Cohen says that worry over the fact
that she was unable to sucl1le her in
fant depressed his wife greatly ana
probably caused her desire for death.
He is robust and quickly recovereSH
from the shock of his experience

Washington, June 4.-No one was
required to call a quorum when the
Senate met today. The events Of last
night In respect to the personal ref
erences to Senator Lafollette had
caused feeling that a storm was
brewing and nearly every Senator
VISA In his place when the Senate
met.
Contrary to the geenral expecta,
ton. the opening scene when Mr..
Lafollette took the floor was quite
pacific. Mr.. Lafollette and Mr.. Gal
linger had friendly exchange OF
words relating to the refusal of the
Wisconsin Senator to yield to his
New Hampshire colleague for a ques-
tion yesterday. Mr.. Lafollette then
said that he had not been sick yes.
terday. but after holding the floor
over five hours. did not feel in a con-
dition to continue at night and had
remained at home to rest.
Referring to the session of last
night as Sensational to such an ex-
tent to oh obscure the debate Of the
day, which had preceded, he turned
to Senator Penrose of PENNSYLVANIA
who sat in his place on the opposite
side of the chamber facing him.
"As to the remarks Of the Senator
fro Pennsylvania" he said. II would
suggest that he would render a very
important service to his country for
the way ne spends his time when
absent from this body. rather than
In any effort to nike an account for
my time"
With no opposition. the Senate
adopted Senator LaFollette's resolu-
tion calling on the president to send
to the Senate the correspondence be-
tween the State Department and hte
GGerman government or it's repre-.
sentative relating to the Germn re.
