Argues That He Should Be Released, at Original Order Fqr Execution Wat Not Carried Out, and That Governoi of New York Had No Right to Com* ' mute Sentence—Says Life Imprison ment Is Really Slow Death and Is Worse Than Electrocution. New York, Nov. 29.—Albert T. Pat rick, whose trial and conviction for the murder of William Marsh Rice ranked among the most remarkable certain weeTs: and the prescribed time for the execution having elapsed, he is legally dead. The malfeasance of the warden, h* says, in not putting him to death a* ordered by the court places him in the anomalous situation of the dead alive. The argument on Patrick’s appesd was postponed to Thursday. KILLS BROTHER WITH PISTOt Fatal Shooting In Indiana Follows Family Quarrel.

Expert 1 Building Materials Looks For Conflagation. London, Nov. 29.—K. E. Humphrey of Philadelphia, who was a delegate to the International congress at Copenha gen for the testing of materials, is here to attend the Anglo-American confer ence for the adopting of a standard testing formula. Mr. Humphi^ey says the average loss by fire iu Europe is 33 cents per capita, while in tlie United States it is $3. Europe, he says, is better equipped to prevent and extinguish fires than the United States unless the building laws in the'latter country are revised. New York under preseut conditions, Mr. Humphrey says, is doomed to a great conflagratiou like those at San Fran cisco and Baltimore. The American firemen are courageous, he says, but they are not properly drilled. PUBLIC PRINTER SUMMONED. Navy to Tako No Active Part. The news of Zelaya’s flight is cor roborated by the advices received here , by Salvator Castrillo, the head of the ! Nicaraguan revolutionary party. Cas trillo will be the first minister of the , new government of Nicaragua at Wash- Ington. j It was plainly intimated by the ad ministration officials that it would be to the advantage of this government if there should he no change in the Ze laya government until after the United States was intrenched near Nicara- ' guan territory. That means that in order to carry out the extensive scheme , of regeneration it would be essential to 1 have marines enough to land and dic- I tate terins to the new party. , I The government ships will not take I part in the movement of overthrow, according to present plans, but will merely hold their forces in readiness teen minutes later. Garfield Bohall was immediately arrested and is now in jail. Thornton Bohall was mar* ried and leaves a family. Garfield Bo* hall also has a wife and several chil* dren. WRECK ON CANADIAN PACIFIC.

Patrick Civil Service Wants to Know Why Employee Was Discharged. Washington, Nov. 29.—The civil serv- ! off the coasts in both oceans and wait ice comraissiou has summoned Mr. Don nelly, the public priuter, to appear be fore it on Dec. 15 to show cause why he placed a charge of in.subordination against John W. Rodgers, an employee of the government printing office, who, although told by his foreman that he coutd not he spared, took leave, with pay, which was due him, he alleges, and absented, himself from his work for days, in November last to go home to vote. for the revolutionary army to win its own victories. Zelaya is persona non grata in Wash ington diplomatic circles and iu Mex ican diplomatic circles as well and is considered to be a permanent enemy to peace in Central America, this peace having been pledged by the United States and Mexico jointly.

He looked and laughed searchetl for he bodies of the missing, | and joked, apparently happy. This is his ninth appeal. ' The convicted murderer maintains that Governor Higgins, who commuted his death sentence to life imprison ment, inflicted a much'' greater pun ishment on him than death. He pre fers a painless death by electricity to the alow process of extermination af forded by life imprisonment. Says He Should Now Be Dead. Patrick is confident that he will win this time. Once freedom is granted he says he will ask the district attorney to reopen his case that he may have another trial for his life. “The point overlooked,” said Patrick, “was the fact that the judgment of conviction lapsed or ceased to be oper ative at the expjiration of the week fixed by the court of appeals for exe cution of the original sentence of death after the appeal had been affirmed.
