PATRICK PLANS
HIS INVOCATION
Will Not Make Fight For Mil
lions of Slain Man Un-
til Clear.

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-AlDert I.
Patrick who left Sing Sing prison yes
terday on pardon from Governor DlN
after a ten-year fight for his freedom
during which he was thrice Wlthlh the
shadow of the death chair, held con-
ference today with his attorney, eN-
Judge William W. Olcott, to discuss
plans for his future.
Patrick VIII not make any fight LOT
the millions of William Marsh Rice, for
whose murder he was convicted ana
sent to prison, until he has vtndicated
himself and cleared his name OF the
charge of forgery which still hangs over
his head. Patrick spent the greater
part of the day answering hundreds or
cougratulatory messages from all parts
Of the country.
Patrick and his wife, who married
him in the Tombs prison after his con-
viction in 1902, both beamed with pleas
ure over the sympathetic words which
poured in upon them from friends ana
even strangers.
In his conference with his lawyer,
Patrick discussed various phases Of his
plans to refute the murder and forgery
charges which still, in the eyes of the
law, stand against him. During the
years of his confinement in Sing Sing
the convicted man made plans for his
fight for vindication and these were
explained to Mr.. Olcott for his APP
prevail
1t was a missing letter from check
for $4,000, made payable to Patrick,
which led to the discovery of the Rice
murder in September, 1900, in this city
and the subsequent conviction of the
lawyer. The forgery charge was
brought against him first, but later
murder charge was substituted, al
though, according to records in the dis
trict attorneys office, the forgery in
dictment was never dismissed.
1t was alleged that this check, bear
ing the signature of Rice, had been IL
legally uttered by Patrick in order to
obtain part of Rice's fortune.

Dog Meat Luxury
In Adrianople

MUTAFA PASHA, TURKEY. Nov.
ss.--Meat stripped from the bones of
stray dogs in the streets OF Adrianople
has become a luxury in the besieged
city, where scores are dead and dying
from famine and hundreds of others
from disease.
A batch of refugees, who made their
way through the lines at Adrianople at
night, arrived here today in custody of
Bulgarian soldiers with fresh details of
the terrible conditions in the be-
leaguered city.
A large section OF the city has been
destroyed by fire and in the confiagra-
ton many men, women and children
persisted. Hundreds of non combatants,
made homeless by the flooded waters
Of the Tuuga, Arda and Martha rivers,
stormed the mosque OF Sultan Sellm
ana the old sultans palace of Eski-
Serai, which had been converted by the
Turks into hospitals. Wounded SOL
diers were thrown into the street by
the half-clad, starving civilians.
There are about 10000 persons
cooped up in the city, including the
diers and about 10000 refugees who
FASTENED there wheN, the Bulgarian
army moved southwark. These include
Turks, Bulgarian Jews, Armenians,
Greeks and scattering of Servian
merchants.
Turkish soldiers standing as guards
over the bazaars, the residences of the
governor of Vilayet and the bishops

Bulgarian shells have destroyed two
of the four lofty minerals of the mosque

EFFORTS
IN FINAL STAGE
Turk Ambassador to Germany
Recalled by Sultan to Take
Up Negotiations.

CONSTANTINOPLE Nov. 29.-The
rians and Turks at Bagehakeui, near
Chatalja, entered their final stage today
with the arrival Of Osman Miami Pa
sha, Turkish ambassador to Germany,
and the real leader of the ottoman
peace commissioners. Osman Miami
Pasha was recalled by his government
because he is regarded as the strongest
man in the empire for the leadership
of the Turkish peace forces.
AS usual. numerous reports were cir
eulated throughout the day as to the
course Of the parleys. One report, be-
lieved to have been inspired by the OF
toman government, was that the Turks
we're to be allowed to retain 'Salonika
and Adrianople and all of the southern
coast of Turkey In Europe.
Turkeys democratic political situa-
ton is becoming desperate. Seeing
their power waning, the members of
the committee of union and progress
are doing their utmost to stir up dis
cord by making the charge that the
government is preparing to abrogate
1ne constitution. LIT. NdHiln hey,
founder of the committee, is a prison
er OF war in Greece and many OF its
influential members are either refugees
abroad or under arrest here, but the
remaining members are making up in
energy what they lack In numbers
They charge that enemies of liberty
Are plotting to restore Abdul Hamid to
the throne.

Whether J. NJ. Long, a theater man
ager Of West Point, Ga, is II. w. Par

by an examination of the prisoners
teeth The Pinkerton detectives. who
have been searching for Parker for
months, have an accurate description of
every filing, every bridge, every bit Of
dental work done for Parker in recent
years, and if this work is shown in the
mouth of Long, the identification will
be complete. A report of the examina-
ton will be received at the Atlanta Of
flee of the Pinkertons later today
Nearly year ago Parker, then vice
president and cashier of the Bank Of
Commerce, Winnebago. embezzled the
funds of the bank and disappeared A
reward of $3.50 was offered for his
capture and the Pinkerton offices
throughout the country We're put on his
trail and furnished photographs and de-
scriptions. But Parker seemed to have
made his escape beyond danger of cap

Early in the spring of this year a
man giving his name as j. NJ. Long set
tied in West Point, made friends rap

gagged in other enterprises, and was
looked upon as a valuable citizen Of
the little town Yesterday he was ar
rested, under direction OF Mayor John

up in the station there. The detectives
announced their belief that Long really

Must Depend on Soft Coal.

The geographical location of At
lanta is such that for fuel supplies
we must depend upon the bitumi-
nous coal fields of Alabama, Ten
nessee and West Virginia. In fact.
our accessibility to this great area
of soft coal deposits is one of the
chief factors that has built up At
lanta manufactures.
There may be few instances in
which no other solution of the
smoke problem is possible except
the change in fuel, but these are
comparatively few in number and
will become proportiOnately fewer
as all new plants will be properly
designed before installation so as
to use bintuminous coal without
emitting dense smoke.
No hysterical outcry concerning
damage to property or person by
soft coal smoke should ever cause
US to lose sight Of the fact that soft
coal is essential to Atlanta's COM
mercial prosperity and any course
of action looking to the abatement
of the smoke nuisance must be
predicated upon the continued use
Of bituminous coal in -increas-
ing quantities.
Fortunately for our hopes of
clean Atlanta, it has been shown

tersVille, before he moved to West
Point, and had kept their eyes on him
ever since, His general description, cou-
pied with certain actions and a long
chain of circumstances, gave the Pink
ertons belief that he was the man they
wanted, and his arrest was decided
upon yesterday.
In his cell in West Point Long stead

Long had married short time ago,
his bride being a Cincinnati girl, it is
said. though their marriage took place
in Atlanta. Mrs. Long refused to dis
cuss the case with newspaper men, and
would give no details of her past life, or
even her maiden name.
The prisoner will be photographed
today, and careful comparison of this
picture and that of Parker will be made.
Complete Bertillon measurements will
be taken, and every effort made to
identify him as the absconding cashier
But more than all else the detectives
rely on the dental examination If the
prisoner has the same gold crowns, the
same Filings, the same irregularities in
teeth as those described by the dem
fist who had done Parker's work. there
can be little doubt that Long is Parker

Great Losses Are Sus-
tanned by Coal Users
in the Escape of Val
uabl e Heat-P ro-
ducing G. a S e S in
Smoke.
ARTICLE I.

Smoke is the exhalation, visible
vapor, or material that escapes or
is expelled from a burning sub
stance during combustion. The
word smoke is used Especially to
designate the volative matter given
off when coal or wood is burned,
together with the solid matter car
ried off in suspension therein.
1t has been conservatiyely esti-
mated that over 100000 short tons
or 1000, 100000 pounds of coal are
used in Atlanta each year. Of this
great tonnage the amount of hard
coal (anthracite) is so inconsider-
able as to be almost negligible. Any
solution of the smoke nuisance in
Atlanta which contemplates the
general substitution of bituminous
coal by anthracite, coke, oil or any
other fuel is impractical The sup
ply of anthracite is limited, and the
mines far distant, with consequent
high freight rates; so that this coal
costs approximately three times as
much per ton delivered as our best
soft Goals. Coke is more readily
obtainable than anthracite and is
cheaper, but the market for this
product in the South is practically
controlled by one company, which.
1t is reasonable to assume, would
boost the price for all the traffic
would bear as soon as we placed
ourselves where we were depend
