GOVERNOR
 PATTERSON
 WILL TESTIFY
Will Take Stand for Defence of Coopers
 in CarmaCk Murder Trial.
Especial from. United Press.)


 Nashville, Tenn, Feb. Ex-Governor Patterson has no objection to taking the stand. He and he alone can confirm the testimony of Colonel Cooper and his son that they had been summoned to the executive mansion and were en route there when they met Senator Carmack. This is very vital point to the defense, as it absolutely dis proves the conspiracy charge or that the Coopers and John Sharp were lying in wait for Senator Carmack to kill him. The governor phoned me a short time ago that he would be here when needed and would take the stand"
 In this statement Mack Anderson, of counsel for the defense in the trial of Colonal B. Cooper, Robin Cooper and John B. Sharp for the murder of Car mack, in answer to the rumor last night that Governor Patterson would insist that it was his privilege to be sworn.
 Colonel Cooper was still on the stand when court reconvened to-day but the worst of his ordeal was over. Freely admitting gambling to pay his debts and recourse to Duncan, to clear him. self of creditors, the Colonel was an excellent witness for himself. He has insisted throughout his entire story that he never had any desire to mur- der Carmack. 'I would only have used my gun to protect Robin or to save anyones life," he has sworn half a dozen times, ''and no one regrets more than I do that the Senator started shooting"

Now she accepts the conference idea and agrees oconduct her future naval operations with the idea of the neutral interests paramount.

Flinty Plant Covers.

-
 When Sir Humphry Davy was a boy about sixteen, little girl came to him in great excitement:
 "Humphry. do tell me my these two pieces of cane make tiny spark of light when rub them together?"
 Humphry was studious boy, who spent hours in thinking out scientific problems. He patted the child's curly head and said:
 T do not know, dear. Let us see if they really do make light, and then we will try to find out why.''
 Humphry soon found that the little girl was right. The pieces of cane if rubbed together quickly did give a tiny light. Then he set to work to find out the reason, and after some time. thanks to the observing powers of his little friend and his own kindness to her in not impatiently telling her not to worry" as so many might have done, Humphry Davy made the first of his interesting discoveries. Every reed, cane and grass has an outer skin of dinty stuff, which protects the in- side from insects and also helps the frail looking leaves to stand upright.

Table Manners In Old France.

Table Manners In Old France.
 Could we restore for half an hour the dinner table of old France and obtain half a dozen instantaneous photo- graphs of a royal banquet at any era between the reigns of Francis and Louis Quatorze such a cataract of laughter would be heard as might disturb the serenity of Louis in para disc. The duchess, her napkin tied se- curely round her neck, would be seen mumbling bone, the noble marquis surreptitiously scratching himself, the belle marquise, withdrawing her spoon from her lips to help neighbor to sauce with 1t, another fair creature securing her plate with her bread, a gallant courier using his doublet or the tablecloth as towel for his fin- gers and two footmen holding a yard of damask under lady's chin while she emptied her goblet at draft. Dur ing feast of inordinate length it was sometimes necessary to substitute a clean cloth for the one which the care lessness or bad manners of the guests had reduced to deplorable condition. -"An Idler In Old France

WILL MAKE NO ARRESTS IN THE
 PANAMA LIBEL
If Arrests Are Made PreSI- dent Roosevelt Will Be
 Called as a Witness, Which
 Would Spoil African Trip
Special from United Press.)

(SpeClal from Unlted ffoSS)
 Washington. Feb. 26.-There will be no arrests in the libel suits against the management of the New York World and the Indianapolis News until after rumor in circulation here today. The reason is not far to see. The attor- neys for the World and the News have planned if their clients are arrested to interfere with the hunting trip of President Roosevelt in Africa. They claim he is a material witness. But Roosevelt does not want to testify. He has his plans made for the hunt ing trip and @ subpoena from the Fed eral court would keep him in attend ance in the courts until the case is fin ally disposed Of, So if today's ru- mors are true, the trial will be held off until the President has departed for the land of the hippopotomus and the giraffe
 This fact came to light today dur ing discussion as to why the war rants had not been served. It was known that Assistant District Attor- ney McNamara, the District of Co., lumtia, has been in New York for sev- eral days. He is supposed to have in his possession the warrants for the members of the World staff who have been indicted.
 It developed today that the World attorneys cannot subpoena witnesses for the defense of their clients until the arrests nave actually been made, and when this was stated it was a problem of simrle addition to show why7the warrants have not been serv- ed

TT WAS A 69 MILE WIND
One Killed, Many Hurt, By
 It's Leap at the City.

New York, Feb. 26.-The storm that roared seaward yesterday to vex skip pers and pile up phenomenal white caps sucked down into this section from the frigid northwest the widest wind that has struck the city and the waters about in many Februarys. The best effort the gal emade as registered by the startled anemometer of MT. Emery was sixty-nine miles, which by the Beaufort scale used by the ablest seamen is just 8 mile shor tof being a storm blast
 That pace was held by the wind for five minutes, ending at 1922 a. m. Later in the day the gale shifted, com ing out of the west with a force vary ing between forty-five and sixty two miles. It seldom was below fifty miles in the late afternoon.
 A sign torn from it's fastenings at a third floor window of 231 Bowery fell on the head of a stranger and crushed him to the sidewalk. He was taken to Gouverneur Hospital, where he died. There was nothing in his clothing by which he might be identified. Joseph Newmark of 951 Sherman avenue, who is connected with the concern that dis played the sign, was arrested.

 The points of resemblance. as Super intendent Birmingham says. are cer- tainly striking enough. Mrs. Chap man was advanced in years, was dressed in black. was of small stature. had gray hair and her front teeth were missing. All of these facts are in coincidence with facts brought out by pr.

A CRADLE FOR
 JOHN H. STARIN


 The Merritt & Chapman Wrecking Co.'s experts, after looking over the wrecked steamboat John H. Starin on Steeplechase Island breakwater yes- terday, decided that they would float the craft without taking out the boil CTS and machinery as was first con- templated. An examination of the vessel shows that the bottom of the boat, with the exception of 30 feet at the steorn and 30 feet at the bow, is either gone or is full of holes. The wreckers commenced the work of get ting big timbers under her guards with the idea of fighting her. A gi- gantic spruce cradle will be built for the steamer to rest in and the water will be pumped out of her. When this is completed the steamer will be fIoated to New York where she will be Gry docked and rebuilt.
 Divers in the employ of Toole & Sunderlin are bringing up cargo. The stuff consists of rifles, baby per- ambulators and cartridges.
