Resolveo, That this body recommend to

nation. This committee was made up of
Joseph Bowes of Baltimore, W. J. Roddy
of 8outh Carolina. Frank C. Ievy of New
Orleans. Charles Jerome Edwards of Brook
lyn and Charles Wake of New York. While
Mr. Hyde agreed to receive the committee
he declared that he had no Intention what
ever of resigning, and that He regarded the
action of the general agents in making such

Insulting and most preposterous."

LAWYERS CONFER WITH CLIENT
Will
Be Acquitted at
This Trial.
NEW YORK, April 20. The three law
yers who are acting as counsel for Nan
Patterson In her trial for the murder of
Caesar" Young had a conference with her
In the Tombs prison today at which the
plans of the defense and the personnel of
the Jury were discussed. Lawyers Abra
ham Levy, Henry W. Unger and Daniel
O'Reilly were present. Miss Patterson ex.
pressed her pleasure at the composition of
the Jury, which was completed yester
day, and disappointment at the delay In
postponing the taking of testimony until
Monday.
"I am sure of an acquittal this time,"
she told T iwyer Levy, "and every day only
adds to my misery in the Tombs. Ten
months and three weeks Is a long time
to be shut up in prison."
Lawyer Levy said today: "We have
now witnesses who will establish Nan Pat
terson's Innocence beyond a doubt. We go
into this trial 100 per cent stronger In
point of evidence than we did the last
trial. We are not going to rely upon the
failure of the prosecution to prove Its
case for an acquittal. We are going to
prove the Innocence of Nan Patterson."
The motion made by J. Morgan Smith and
his wife, the brother-in-law and sister of
Nan Patterson, to Inspect the minutes of
the grand Jury In the case against them
in which they are charged with conspiracy,
was granted today by Judge Foster in the
court of general sessions. At the same time
Judge Foster disallowed their demurrer to
the indictment and denied their attorneys'
motion for a summary order to compel the
district attorney to turn over to them the
letters taken from them after their arrest

TELEPHONE GIRL KILLS SELF
Beatrice Yonnac Woman Has Too
Many Troubles and Derides
to End Them.
BEATRICE, Neb.. April . (Special Tel
egram.) Mrs. Amelia Bartels, night ope
rator In the Nebraska Telephone company's
exchange in this city, was found dead In
the operating room tonight. Investigation
showed it to be a case of suicide by tak
ing strychnine. The police station being
unable to raise central, sent an officer up
there to investigate, and he found the
woman lying dead on the floor. It was at
first thought she had died a natural death,
but Investigation showed It was the re
sult of strychnine taken with suicidal In
tent.
The dead woman was only 18 years of
age, but had been married and separated
from her husband, coming here and mak
ing her home with her parents. A few
days ago she had a disagreement with her
parents and left home, and it is thought
this, together with her marital troubles,
are the motive for taking her own life.
Result Is Announced.
At 9 o'clock Mrs. Elroy Maverick, chair
man of the tellers, appeared with her re
port. She said the total number of votes
cast was 690, six being blank. Of that
number Mrs. McLean received 362 and Mrs.
Sternberg 322. Mrs. Avery got no farther.
A wave of enthusiastic applause swept over
the auditorium and galleries. Some of the
women screamed as a vent to their emo
tions. Others cried and became hysterical.
Every delegate In the hall was on her
feet. No attempt was made by the presi
dent general to control the demonstration
or to stay when some measure had come
to the assemblage. The president general
recognized Mrs. Sternberg, who, in a
felicitious manner, moved that the elec
tion of Mrs. McLean be made unnnlmnu.
Mrs. Llppltt quite as happily claimed the
privilege of seconding the motion.
Mrs. McLean was escorted to the stage.
Mrs. Fairbanks then put to the congress
the motion of Mrs. Sternberg. It was car
ried enthusiastically, but there were a four
scattering "noes." The negative votreh
received with hisses. Ideu
"The"'chalr"a"e?lres" "rrtflt" demonstration
cease. Daughters of the American Revo
lution do not hiss. Their guests must not.
I ask the ladles who voted "No" to Join
heartily In support of Mrs. Sternberg's
motion."
Mrs. McLean was then recognized and
delivered a speech, in which she expressed
profound appreciation of the honor done her
and the hope that all of the Daughters
would be with her in support of the so
ciety and its objects.
A recess was taken until 8:30, but It was
an hour before Mrs. McLean could leave
the hall, surrounded as she was by hun
dreds who desired to extend to her their
congratulations.
Result of First Ballot.
When the congress was called to order
the result of the ballot taken yesterday for
president general was announced as fol
lows: Mrs. DonaU McLean, New York,
342; Mrs. George M. Sternberg, District of
Columbia, 201; Mrs. Charles Warren Llp
pltt, Rhode Island, 164. The announcement
of the vote of Mrs. McLean, which was
within twelve votes of an election, was re
ceived with a storm of applause.
Of the sixteen candidates for vice presi
dent general more than ten of the number
to be elected received a majority of the
votes cast. It was decided by the congress
that the ten receiving the highest number
of votes should be declared elected. Among
those elected vice president general were:

The opinion is given upon the application
of the two sets of petitions, one from
Edwin Hawley, and FTank H. Ray, who

been lost through participation with Sully
in alleged cotton pools and to others from

From the French standpoint It Is not to be

that France had no previous knowledge

Regarding the course of Aysslan war
