Second Trial of the Show Girl
Churned With the Murder of Cae
sar Young in n Hansom Cab on
Broadway Has Been Heignn—Only
Three Jurors YVere Secured Dur
ing the Opening liny—Defendant
Not So Nervous.
New York, Dec. s.—The second trial
of Nan Patterson, accused of the mur
der of Caesar Young, a wealthy book
maker, in a cab on West Broadway,
six months ago, commenced to-day in
the criminal branch ,of the Supreme
Court, and when adjournment was
token for the day three jurors had
been chosen.
Miss Patterson, who has been ill with
tonsilitis for several days, appeared in
excellent spirits. Her manner was
very vivacious, and the nervousness
noticed during the progress of the first
trial had entirely disappeared. She
was seated by her aged father.
After nine talesmen had been exam
ined and refused, Justice Davis, who
will preside at the trial, intervened
and assumed the role of examiner.
Miss Patterson carefully considered
capabilities of each talesman and fre
quently suggested questions for her
counsel to propound. She expressed a
desire that no old men be accepted.
The men accepted were: Thomas H.
Harmer, receiving teller of a bank,
who will be foreman; William J. Lee,
a manufacturer, and Thomas Farrell,
a merchant. Over 100 men were exam
ined during the day.
The work of selecting a jury will go
on to-morrow.

Could She Have Forged It t
Moaning aloud and stopping to mop
the sweat from his brow, the counte
nance of the banker suddenly lighted
up. "Man. do you think that wom
an could have executed the name of
Andrew Carnegie upon those notes?
She mav have done so, but if so, she
is gifted with far more than an or
dinary cunning. How could we sus
pect anything wrong? She would sign
statements almost without reading
them. And through it all she appear
ed almost like a child.
"1 remember one statement she sign
ed particularly. It was a statement to
the effect that no person had any
claim upon the securities she claim
ed to possess. We wanted a written
statement.
“ ‘Anything to make you perfectly
assured,’ she said as she signed the
paper.”
ANDREW CARNEGIE
IS QUITE ANGRY.
Doesn't Want to Be Bothered About
“This Chadwick Woman/*
New York, Dec. 5.—A United States
secret service officer was at the Hol
land House to-day and had a room on
the same floor as Mrs. Chadwick’s
apartments. He would not explain
for what purpose he was stationed
there.
Andrew Carnegie’s secretary gave
out the following statement to-day:
‘‘Mr. Carnegie wants me to say that
he does not want to be bothered any
more about this Chadwick woman. He
is quite angry over this persistent use
of his name and wishes it to cease at
once. Once for all, he never knew
Mrs. Chadwick or any other such
woman and he never signed any such
paper as the reports credit him with.
That is all.”
The deputy sheriff who served the at
tachment papers on Mrs. Chadwick at
the Holland House on Saturday was
at the hotel again to-day and asked
for an inventory of Mrs. Chadwick’s
effects. He was referred to the hotel’s
lawyers.
Dr. Leroy S. Chadwick, the husband
of Mrs. Chadwick, has cabled a law
yer in New York telling him to call
upon him for any settlement that may
be needed for the pressing claims
against his wife.
IT IS SAID MRS. CHADWICK
MAY BE ARRESTED.
•c _____
New York, Dec. s.—Mrs. Cassle L.
Chadwick, whose financial difficulties
have caused widespread interest, is at
the Holland House to-night. At the
hotel are at least three officers of the
United States secret service, and they
have been particularly alert for the
past twenty-four hours. A gentleman
closely connected with the case says
that there is a strong possibility that
an arrest will be made in New York
within a short time, and that it will
be of a person closely connected with
the now famous case.
Philip Carpenter, chief counsel in
New York for Mrs. Chadwick, was
seen at the Waldorf-Astoria at mid
night by a representative of the Asso
ciated Press. When asked concerning
the probability of the arrest of his
client, he declined to talk, but said:
“Mrs. Chadwick is absolutely innocent
of any intent of wrong. She has done
nothing to warrant legal proceedings,
and she cannot be convicted of wrong
doing.”
Waycross Elks’ Service.
Waycross, Ga., Dec., s.—The Elks

largely attended. An interesting and
impressive programme was rendered.
Hon. Robert L. Coldlng, of Savannah,
delivered the eulogy of deceased
brothers. His tribute to the depart

ing. Bishop C. K. Nelson was present
and made a short talk, as did other

THE “INVENTION”
Grandiim Found It Convenient.
It Is remarkable what a change can
be made in a family by a simple re
arrangement of food.
A Chicago mother says: “Much to
my surprise yesterday morning I
found the enclosed letter on my desk,
written by my seven-year-old daugh
ter, without any suggestion from a
soul, and the little letter induced me
to write something of our experiences.
“First my son, who was very small
and weak, was sent out to visit one of
my sisters, and she induced him to
start in on Grape-Nuts and cream in
place of the ordinary food used.
“When the boy came back after an
absence of about six months we could
hardly believe our eyes. He had grown
over three inches in height and was
an entirely different fellow in every
way, always ready for any athletic
sport proposed and on the keen go ail
of the time, while before he only
wanted to sit or lie down, and suffer
ed greatly from headaches and gen
eral prostration.
“So we put our little girl on Grape-
Nuts and she grew well and healthy
and rosy In a short time.
“Then mother, who is 82 years old,
began using Grape-Nuts and would
frequently put the food into soup or
with an egg into a bowl and pour
broth over it.
“She had formerly been troubled
with her stomach, suffering great pain
at times; now she says the Invention'
has cured her and she uses Grape-
Nuts in a variety of ways—puddings,
dressing for chickens or turkeys,
griddle CHkea and all sorts of nice
things.
"The boy has been using Grape-
Nuts now for about two years and has
grown something over seven Inches
and gained about 25 pounds, and is
still improving.”
The little girl's letter Is too long to
reproduce, but It Is written In a very
cunning style and tells her own story
of how she got over being sick and
was able to go to school again, mak
ing four grades In a short time, and
how well and healthy she felt arid how
much she loved the Grape-Nuts.
She heard her mother tell her
auntie that "Grape-Nuts was a God
send.” so she thought God made
Grape-Nuts, until she got hold of the
little recipe book one day, which she
found in the package, and the folks
explained to her that It was made by

Governor Vardaman, Unterrified, Returns to the
Attach Upon President Roosevelt.
Memphis, Term., Dec. s.—The Com
mercial Appeal to-morrow will publish
a letter received from Jackson. Miss.,
S which Gov. Vardaman declines to
> permanent chairman of the 801 l
Weevil Convention at Shreveport. The
letter was given out to-day by the
Governor’s secretary. It follows in
part:
Jackson, Miss., Dec. 4, 1904.
"Hon. J. C. Pugh, Chairman Execu
tive Committee. National Cotton Con
vention, Shreveport, La.
"My Dear Sir—On my return to Jack
son last evening, I was shown a num
ber of clippings from two or three
newspapers published at Shreveport,
La., protesting in the most scurrilous
terms against the propostion to have
me serve as permanent chairman of the
National Cotton Convention to be held
in that city on the 12th to 15th instant.
“As you are aware that the invi
tation to serve as chairman came to
me unsolicited, you can doubtless
imagine my great surprise at this edi
torial outburst.
"I think it best for me to deoline
the honor and to leave the convention
free to name for its presiding officer
whomsoever It may see fit.
"The question of the chairmanship
being settled, I cannot refrain from
noticing in this connection a rapidly
grgwing tendency with our people,
which I fear may soon become a char
acteristic, and which to me is more
to be deplored than the boll weevil,
or any other enemy to our material
interest. I discuss the disposition to
surrender the imperial right of a free
born, white American citizen to ex
' press his honest thoughts—the dispo
sition to barter their manhood and
sell their independence for a mess of
pottage of material prosperity or po
litical place.
“One of the strong (?) arguments
made by an editor of your city against
‘permitting Gov. Vardaman to serve as
chairman of the convention,' was based
upon the fact that Gov. Vardaman has
incurred the displeasure of the present

Tern. Frye appointed Messrs. Allison

The death of the late Senator Quay

and Mr. Lodge announced the death
of his late colleague, Mr. Hoar, of
Massachusetts. The Senate then ad

HEF LIN TOOK THE OATH
WITHOUT OPPOSITION.
No Objection Was Offered at the
House's Initial Meeting.
Washington, Dec. 6. —The House of
Representatives convened to-day at
noon.
The gallery doors were thrown open
at 10:30 o’clock and in a very short
time every seat was taken. The diplo
matic corps was well represented in
the section set apart for their especial
use. The spectators evinced the great
est interest in the happenings on the
floor below, and kept up an incessant
conversation. Now and then as some
favorite entered the chamber he was
liberally applauded.
For an hour or more preceding the
calling of the body to order by Speaker
Cannon, the members slowly filed into
the chamber and exchanged greetings.
The Republicans, fresh from their re
cent victory, gathered in groups and
talked over the late campaign, while
their Democratic brethren gave no out
ward sign of having suffered defeat.
Men of both parties freely intermingled
and discussed the issues of the last
election and its results, the Democrats
good naturedly taking the thrusts and
gibes heaped upon them in friendly
conversation by their victorious oppo
nents. Good fellowship prevailed
throughout.
In his private room for some time
before the House met, Speaker Can
non held an informal reception to
‘‘the boys," as he is wont to call his
associates in the House. Without dis
tinction as to party, the members drop
ped in to pay their respects, and for
each he had a pleasant word.
The floral display was beautiful in
the extreme. There was hardly a desk
that was not banked with floral pieces
of some kind. Speaker Cannon order
ed that no flowers be put upon his
desk, his private room serving as a
repository for them.
Speaker Cannon, attired in a black
frock coat and wearing a carnation,
mounted the rostrum promptly at 12
o'clock. After prayer and roll call,
new members were sworn in, that
number including F. G. Croft of South
Carolina and J. Thomas Heflin of Ala
bama.
A resolution was adopted appointing
the usual committee to wait upon the
President. The speaker named the fol
lowing to represent the House:
Messrs. Burton (Republican) of Ohio;
Tawney (Republican) of Minnesota
and Williams (Democrat) of Mississip
pi.
The Hbuse adopted resolutions of
respect to the memory of the late
Senators Quay and Hoar, and ad

Under very unusual conditions we
procured a very choice lot of Men’s Suits.
It is the kind of Suits which has some
special attractiveness for every man. The
coats are single and double-breasted. One
glance at such is eminently convincing
that they are well tailored. The styles
are just new, the cut as well as the col
ors, and they bear the distinctiveness of
dress. Two prices are on the entire lot,
a slight bit more than half of their value
is all they are selling for to-day and to
morrow. Some of them are just half
price.
dT O C/l is for one kind of about 150
JfOoJU Suits worth up to sl^.oo.
(tl*} Efl is f° r the other kind with
4) 1 JLoJU prices deep in the $20.00
values.
/
Either kind you buy will give you satisfaction.

down the embankment, Keegan came
around at a terrific burst of speed. His
wheel struck Rookowltz and Agraz with
terrible force. Keegan struck on his
face on the board track and with the
two other riders, rolled down In a
heap to the cage of the oval. Keegan
was a pitiable sight. His face was
covered with blood, which flowed from
his nose and lip and a cut across his
head.
