PATRICK’S APPEAL DENIED United States Supreme Court Renders Decision. ‘Washington, Nov. 17.—The petition of Albert T. Patrick, the New York lawyer who is serving a life sentence in the state prison at Sing Sing, N. Y., on the charge of having murdered the millionaire, William M. Rice, for a writ of habeas corpus was decided by the supreme States adversely to the petitioner. Patrick charged that the case against him was a conspiracy and urged that in commuting the sentence of death which the court imposed upon him to one of life imprisonment Governor Higgins had resorted to a more cruel method of punishment. He asked to be released from prison on the theory that the whole proceeding had been unconstitutional and invalid. The de cision of the court was announced by Chief Justice Fuller.

The Grand Rapids City Football team was given a decisive beating at Duluth Sunday, when the Spald- ings of Duluth “skinned” the “Rap- ids” outfit by a score of 10t00 and made ‘an (five points) which the umpire (a Grand Rapids man) would not allow. The Grand Rapids team has been claiming the champinnship of nearly everything known to the sporting world, and they went to Duluth with the intention of driving the ‘Zenith City” football bunch into Lake Sup- erior; but they reckoned without their host. The first half of the game was fairly even, but the “Rapida” crowd disp'ayed a bunch of ‘“‘yellow” in the last half and the Daluth boys literally walked all over them. In commenting on the game, the Duluth News-Tribune says: “The Grand Rapids City football team may be all right in Itasca and Beltrami counties but it will never do at the head of the lakes. This was demonstrated yesterday after- noon at the Athletic park when the Spaldings laid overa 10 to 0 beating on the crew from the Pokegema river country. The Spaldings showed ap - the visitors in every phase of old and new style football, additional goal play in the second half.” With the defeat which was admin- istered to the Grand Rapids High School football team Saturday by i the Bemidji team, and the Duluth team “wallop- ing” the Grand Rapids cily team, the sports at Grand Rapids, who have been claiming the earth and the fullness thereof for both their teams, are sitting up and taking notice that there are football players on some other points of the earth’s surface besides Grand Rapids.

VEET TO BOOM WATERWAYS National Movement: Begins in Baltimore, CAPE COD TO KEY WEST Bcope of Deeper: Waterways Assocla- tion’s Work Embraces Entire Atlan- tic Seaboard—Success Means the Strengthening. of the Hands of Breadwinncrs, Declares Congress- man Moore, Who Heads Movement. Baltimore, Nov. 17.—Five hundred fccredited delegates gathered here to- flay to attend the first annual con- ention of the Deeper Waterways bssociation. The convention will last three days and is expected to be pro- ductive of good results in the promo- tion of American maritime interests. Its primary object is the advocacy of lhe movement to build an inland wa- terway connecting Boston with Key West, practically the entire length of 4. HAMPTON MOORE. the Atlantic seaboard of the United Mors than 200 associations are banded together to promote the movement. The president of the Deeper Water- ways association is Congressman J. Hampton Moore of Philadelphia, who delivered the address welcoming the delegates and outlining the objects of the association. He predicted a suc- cessful outcome of the association’s work, declaring it to be one in which the entire American people are vitally interested. Scope of the Association’s Work. In speaking of the association’s work Mr. Moore said: “If the opening of a waterway from the north side of Cape Cod to Long Island sound’means the saving of a single life employed in the shipping trade why should we not strive for the completion .of it? “When we know as a matter of rec- ord that hundreds of human lives are lost upon the shoals of Cape Cod and that millions of dollars’ worth of val- uable properly is.wrecked because there is no inside passage why should we hesitate tp put our engineers at work and make a short cut inland that will provide a safe harbor for ship- iping and a haven for the men who are engaged in that important occu- : | pation? “If the deepening of an inland chan- b |nel between the Delaware river and the Chesapeake bay will give to Amer- ican ships of war a safe inside pas- sage and a harbor for repairs or for stores in times of peace or in times of war and will save an outside sail- Ing distance of hundreds of miles. with all its perils, why should a great nation like this hesitate to provide such deeper channel? “If, again, and I regord this as of greater concern to the common peo- ple, the deepening of such a water- way between any such ports along the Atlantic coast or from any point P lof production to any point of ship- f|ment will enable the farmers or the manufactarers to do more business than they hitherto have done or will provide facilities that will attract § | trade and encourage the development of American shipping why should we not provide such waterways and thus strengthen the hands of the bread- winners of our country?” FOR UNION WITH TURKEY Persian Natidnalists May lssue Dec- laration. St. Petershurg, Nov. 17.—The Novoe Vremya publishes a special dispatch from Tabrig, Persia, sayirg that Tur- key has opened formal relations vrith the Persian nationalist organization in Azerbaijan province. A commis- sion of Young Turkish envoys, duly accredited, has arrived at Tabriz and been given an imposing welcome. Abdul Hamid, through the Turkish consul at Tabriz, has presented Satar Khan with a Turkish order. Fears are expressed, the corre- Jepondent says, that the nationalists \nill secede and declare a union with Turkey. Will Inherit the Estates. New York, Nov. 17.—A cablegram from Theodore P. Shonts, from Paris, ‘received here, announced that a son had been born to his daughter, the \Duchess de Chaulnes. The Duke de Chaulnes died in Paris last spring. OPPOSE. REDUCED TARIFF Steel, | Coal and Lumber Interests Plan Stubborn Fight. ‘Washington, Nov. 17.—That the steel, coal and lumber interests will make a stubborn fight against the re- duction of the tariff on these products was stated by Senator Elkins of West Virginia as he was leaving the White House after a short call upon Pres- ident Roosevelt. ““There’s going to be a fight on coal and lumber _rates,” saild the senator. A0 T T ~West virginia, which produces & large amount of these products, is en- tirely satisfied with the existing rates and will put.up a contest before she permits them to be changed.” If Canada manifests a willingness to reduce her duty on coal, the senator sald, an agreement might be reached easily for the reduction of the tariff on coal into the United States. He added that West Virginia was very much interested in the protection of the coal industry. Mr. Elkins declared it would be un- fair to the country to attempt to re- vise the tariff at the coming session ot congress. NO UNFAVORABLE SYMPTOM Francis J. Heney Continues to Im- prove. San Francisco, Nov. 17.—The bullet fired by Morrls Haas at Francis J. Heney was removed from the muscles of the lower left maxillary, where it was located by means of the X-ray. Mr. Heney bore the operation well and is reported to be resting quietly snd showing no ill effects. San Francisco, Nov. 17.—Although four days have elapsed since Francis J. Heney was shot down in the court- room by Morris Haas, who committed suicide in his cell at the county jail later, the seven’ physicians in attend- ance upon the prosecutor of the brib- ery cases agree that the long and enxious ‘interval has deveioped not a single unfavorable symptom resultant from the bullet wound in his head. There is neither fever nor indication of dread blood poisoning; the patient has shown no unexpected loss of strength and between periods of long and refreshing sleep he asked for and was given a small portion of liquid nourishment. Tt is even said that Mr. Heney's vocal powers will be unim- paired by the course of the bullet now lodged in the muscles of his throat and this, in view of the demands upon his voice by the prosecutions in which he is engaged, will be welcome news to the assistant district attorney when it has been more definitely as- certained. Named to Fill Vacancy. Pierre, S. D., Nov. 17.—Governor Crawford has appointed Judge C* S. Whiting of the Ninth circuit a mem- ber of the state supreme court to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Justice Fuller. WHOLE COUNTRY i lature will choose a senator. The 201 REPRESENTED ! S amesir; The 2 Catholic Missionary Congress Meets at Chicago. = Chicago, Nov. 17.—In the presence of archbishops, bishops, mitred ab- bots, priests and a multitude of lay- men the first session of the Roman Catholic missionary congress in this country opened in the First Regiment srmory in this city. To the com- municants who thronged the assembly room the occasion had an added sig- nilicance from the fact that it marks the passing of the Roman Catholic church in America from the position of a mission field to equality with the nations organized as hierarchical unities in the Roman Catholic church. In his address of welcome to the 1 visiting delegates, who represent prac- tically every parish and church in this country and Canada, Archbishop Quigley outlined the reasons and ob- ject of the missionary congress, de- claring that the event marks the change in the church in America from missionary conditions to a full share in the activities of the church and should crystallize the missionary spirit in the clergy and people. In his address of welcome special emphasis was laid by the archbishop on the presence of Most Rev. Dio- mede Falconio, archbishop of Larissa and special legate of Pope Pius X. + Archbishop Falconio, at the conclu- sion of the address of welcome, de- livered an address in which he pro- nounced the blessing of Pope Pius X. on all taking part in the congress and predicted a glorious growth for the church under the new conditions.

Whitehall, Mich.,, Nov. 17.—All doubt as to the fate of Deputy State Game Warden Julius Salmonson, his ‘brother, Martin Salmonson, and Dep- uty Sheriff J. C.
