T. PATRICK Dix Pardons New York At- torney Serving Life Sen- - tence for Murder of William M. Rice REMARKABLE FIGHT WAGED FOR DECADE ' Sentenced to Die in Electric Chair, Prisoner Complained of Commutation ALBANY, N. Y. Albert T. Patrick, who is serving a life sentence in Sing Sing prison for the murder of Willlam Marsh Rice, an aged million- aire, in New York city on September 1900, was pardoned tonight by Gov- ernor Dix. Patrick, who was ‘saved from the -electric chair by the late Gov- ernor Higgins in December, 1906, has made a remarkable fight for freedom. A lawyer by profession, he protested when Governor Higgins commuted the death sentence to life imprisonment; declaring the governor had no legal right to cancel the original sentence and impose a punlshment of life im- prisonment. Always Air of Mystery In commenting on the case Governor Dix sald: “There has always been ‘an air of mystery in this important case. Quoting from the minority opinion, the atmosphere ‘that surrounded the de- fendant showed that a fair and impar- tial trial was scarcely possible. “I trust that Patrick will devote his energies to a complete vindication of his declared innocence. During the last vear I have given much consideration to this case and am convinceg that the defendant is entitled to have:full par- don. Governor Dix said that Superintend- ent of Prisons Scott and a_score of prominent persons appealed_to him in Patrick’s behalf. The pardon ‘was mailed tonight to Warden Kennedy of Sing Sing, and Patrick may be released tomorrow upon its receipt. Claimant for Millions It is said that Patrick plans to leave for St. Louis, the home of John T. Mil- liken, his bfother in law, but may re- turn later to New York as a claimant for the millions left by the aged man, with ‘whose murder he was charged. Milliken aided Patrick in his fight for freedom and, it 18 reported, will as- sist him in his efforts to prove his in- nocence. 0 At no time during his long incarcera- tion in Sing Sing, four years of which were spent in' the - death house, has Patrick given up the hope of winning his freedom. Letter after letter has been received at the executive chamber urging that he be pardoned, and each succeeding governor since O'Dell hat been requested to extend executive clemeney. Governor Higgins was so he granted him three respites and eventually commuted his sentence from death to life imprisonment.

Sir Edward was. alighting from a motor, car at his residence in Kensing- ton on his return.from' Scotland Yard, when the man rushed up from the op- posite side of the street and shot at him thyee times with a revelver. One bullet entered the left groin, in- flicting a dangerous wound. The oth- ers missed their mark. The commis- sioner's chauffeur, who is a former po- liceman, - grappled m{* tile assaflant and overpowered him. It turned out that the man, whose name is Bowes, a month ago applied at Scotland yard for a taxicab licens which was ‘refused?

President Yuan Shi Kai of the new re- pble réfused’‘to accede tofthe de- mands of the czar as stated by the Rus- sldn ambassador’ and warned -the lat- ter that the Chinese republic would re- sist any attempt on the part of Rus- sia to interfere with the controlling ot Mongolia. President Yuan is quoted as saying ‘that’ rebellious Mongolia Would be forced to remain under the Chinese flag. For many vears Russia has looked longingly at Mongolia, and when the Mongolians demanded their independ- ence from' the. mew republic, Ruyssia said it recognized the indepéndence of the province and would support the movement. At that time China dis- patched armed troops to Mongolia, and Urga, the capital of Mongolia, was made the seat of the republic’s troops. Russia was cautioned mot to interfere by China then. * The Russlan ambassador held a long Fooutspenits withs erénidant Yuan in the presidential mansion at Peking yes- terday, The representative of the czar nformed President Yuan that China ‘would have to agree to Russia’s terms in regard. to the Mongolian situation or fight.,' President Yuan is reported in the. cablegram: ag having sald: “China can never agree ‘to the Rus- slan terms, innu!uch as Mongolla has ever ‘been a part of China’ and it is ‘the duty of China to retain the province | come what may. China will resist any attempt on the part of Russia or any other nation to take the province away | from the republic.” Russia’s demands of China concern- ing ) the settlement of the. claims -of Morigolia for independence are: 1—That China does not increase its standing army in Mongolia. 25-That China does not increase its number of offieia¥s in Mongolia. 3—That Chinal permit Mongolia to overn itself and make its own laws.

According to one Constannnnpl( report, the difficulties in the way of arranging a formal armistice are so great that the negotiations are taking the form of seeking a basis for peace Bulgars Ready With Guns The danger of the rcopening hostilities, however, still is serious. Apparently only an informal armistice of 48 hours has been agreed upon, and it is reported that the Bulgarian forces are moving closer to the Tcha- talja lines and intrenching themselves in readiness to renew the attack. The Turks have an army of more than 100,000 and soon will have 130,000 for the most part fresh picked troops. behind the lines, and it Is certain, ac- cobding to all the cofrespondents, that they will give a good account of them- selves if the fighting is resumed. Turkey Will Stand Ground Under these ~circumstances, with Adrianople and Scutari still holding out, Turkey 1s little likely to show a ‘yielding attitude In the peace negotia- tions. The report that the Servians have reached Durazzo appears premature.
