TISSUES STATEMENT.
1e Holds Himself Justified in
Efying Decree Of Highest
Court in State.

nile, Tenn, April 16.-Gover-
Patterson tonight announced ms
candidacy for the Democratic nom1na. 3.
ton to succeed himself. In view Oh
recent political events in Tennessee s. \
and the governors pardon OF Col'
Duncan B. Cooper, convicted OF inc inc
.Carmaek murder, and sentenced TO ~
7.ars, Imprisonment, the statement
of Governor Patterson is particularly
Interesting. Governor Patterson rep
7esents the anti-prohibition element
Of the Democracy Of Tennessee, and
in the outset his statement declares:
ssMaIcious and persistent defama-
tion. while they have not harmed
have made the burdens somewhat
hard to bear and rendered more dill
fcult the discharge of the dutles IN
cumbent upon me. "
ITnder a. subheading, "Cooper
case,'' the statement says:
"other Facts" Presented.
INV reasons for pardoning Col:
Cooper have already been given, ana
need no reiteration. It may not be
amiss. however, to present other facts
which may have escaped the puOne
in the din and clamor which has oeen
raised Outside newspapers might be
excused for mistatements, for their
information is partial, but there IS
no palliation for those in our own
State. who have sought to in1ame the
passions against an act which L hao
the right to perform. These nave
said that Col Cooper was my TREND
and one Of my chief counseAors. TINS
is true, and it was true long before
Senator Carmack became a candidate
for, governor. Ill sRkA
ssA1v relations with Col. Cooper
were close ard intimate, and no at
tempt has ever been made to deny CT
conceal that fact. At one time so
were the re.ations between Col. Coop
er and Senator Carmaek. l was IN
no way at fault in bringing about a
rupture between them.
Sought to Avoid Trouble
"When I learned Of probable trou-
ble T tried in every way to avoid 1t,
and believed that my efforts and
those of others had succeeded. When
the killing Of Senator Carmack oc-
Cured T was In no sense responsible
for it, and have keenly regretted 1t
from that hour to this, not only on MS
own account but because it involved
INV friends and gave license to Ger
tain men, whose names should be IN
famous, to manufacture political
capital and to excite the people at a
time when the State was already dis
turbed and distressed.
"When Col. Cooper and his son
were tried, I have never beheTeo'
and do not now believe, that their
case received that calm consideration
to which it was entitled, but on the
contrary it was rather political
trial, With almost every element pres

Believes Both Innocent.
II wish those who are open to
reason to put themselves in my posi-
ton and view the facts as they are
and not as distorted imaginatlons
would have them. Senator Carmack,
according to the testimony, was kill
ed by Robin Cooper, and in my judg-
ment any fair Interpretation Of it
shows that the killing occurred alter
Senator Carmack had fired two shots
from his pistol at the defendant. [
believe the act of Robin Cooper was
in his necessary self-defence, and this
view was. evidently shared by the
majority of the court which reversed
his case. On the other hand, Col.
Cooper was not in any conspiracy to
kill and I do not recall that any of
the justices Of the supreme court so
held. If he was not in conspiracy
to Kill, and did not kill, where is
law or justice which can hold him
guilty Of murder; had this been an
ordinary lawsuit, tried in the ordi-
nary way, without the settings of
passion and excitement, Col. Cooper
would have been acquitted almost as
matter Of course. Without impug-
ming the opinions of others, I think
it was a miscarriage Of justice when
he was not acquitted.''

PRISONER VAN|SHES
FROM POLICE COURT
Gerald McCrystaI, Unmatched,
Goes Away on Other Bust
ness Than His Trespasses.

He walked right in, turned around and
walked right out again.
This is about the way Gerald McCrys-
tai. charged with petty larceny, escaped
this morning from Police Court, where he
had been taken, along with other prison
ers, to have his innocence or guilt OFF,
cially passed upon.
No one saw exactly how he did it, or
McCrystal would probably have been in
duced by the police to await the courts
permission to depart.
About 9:15 o'clock. when some prisoners
were being locked in the rear cells, Nc
Crystal was left unmatched for mo-
ment. Deciding not to wait for trial. Nc
Crystal it is thought, went up the stairs
to the courtroom above. walked down the
public stairways and sauntered into the
street.
The police of the entire city are looking
for him and believe he will soon again
be in custody. The following description
of McCrystal has been sent out from po-
lice headquarters:
white, about fortythree. years old,
five feet six. inches tall, weighs about
10 pounds. He has brown hair and is
partially bald. His face is round and
smooth
At the time he took French leave from
the Police Court McCrystal was in his
shirt sleeves and wore gray trousers
and plaid cap.

mination of disagreements which have
arisen In the sessions Of the current NJ
teenth biennial convention of the Grand
United Order OF Odd Fellows between ad-
herents Of the present administration and
their opponents, suit was entered yester-
day against the grand officers and d.
rectors OF the order, who are charged
with having taken an unlawful and ar
bitrary possession of the convention and
freezing OUT many Of those legally en-
titled to participate in the proceedings.
The suit was brought by Charles w.
Pullett and others. who say they are
Maryland members Of the order

ing TO permit roll calls or divisions when
called for.
The court is asked to declare null and
void the election of the temporary Sec
retaries and H. r. Slaughter as editor
and manager of the Odd Fellows Journal
to compel the defendants to proceed &C
cording to the rules of the order and to
prohibit them from excluding members 81

DEPARTMENTS GET TIP
ON TAFT'S new POLICY
Copies of Norton's Letter to Iowa
Politician Reach
Washington.

Indications multiply that the letter
written by Charles D. Norton. secretary
to the President, to an unnamed Iowa
politician. is an expression of the policy
of President Taft to be followed out by
the various departments Of the govern
nent in their attitude in matters Of pat
ronage toward all republicans, whether
they be insurgent or regular.
Copies Of the letter have been sent
from Beverly to the executive heads of
all departments in Washington. The
copies were not accompanied by letter
of transmittal directing the department
heads to- heed the suggestions contained
in the letter, but merely by note that
the letter had been written by authority
of the President.
The letter itself is a direct statement
that, so far as federal patronage is con-
cerned, the regular republican and the
..insurgent" republican will look alike to
President Taft. and is accepted as sig
nificant of the attitude of the President
and of his intention to place all republic
ans, whether they be classed as reg
ular'' or 'insurgent," on the same plane,
SO far as patronage is concerned. The
receipt of the letter created considerable
comment among department officials to-
day, but no differences of opinion re-
garGing it are expressed.

FRANK USED FOR SPEECH,
WILSON PAID POSTAGE
Secretary of Agriculture Scrupulous
About Observing the Postal
Regulations.

There was an interesting little feature
in connection with Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wilson's speech at Kenton, Ohio,
that developed today.
That speech, like most cabinet officers
speeches prepared in advance. was mani
folded and sent out to newspapers. Often
when higher department official delivers
speech on departmental work this is
sent out under a government frank as a
part of the legitimate business of the de-
partment in keeping the public informed
of what it is doing. The speech at Ken
ton today, however. was purely a political
speech. for 1t was at the opening of the
campaign in Ohio.
This speech, also. was sent out under
the government frank When Secretary
Wilson personally learned how it had
been handled he said it was not the sort
of departmental matter that ought to be
handled in that way, and, writing to the
Postmaster General, he found the amount
of postage that the number of speeches
