YOUNG'S WIDOW TESTIFIES
Wife of Bookmaker GWos Evidence in the
Kan Pattersou Trial
MRS. J. MORGAN SMITH ALSO ON STAND
Letter Showing; that Defendant Had
Other Admirers When She Fro
fesaed to Be Devoted to
Dead Man.
NEW - YORK, April 27.-Vhlle there
were no features as sensational as yes
terday, the trial of , Nan Patterson,
charged with the shooting of Caesar
Young, M fully a Interesting today In
the many points brought out. Mrs. Mar
garet Young, widow of Caesar Young,
wae on the stand, and as she transferred
her eyes to the defendant they would fill
with tears. Nan Patterson dropped her
eyes when she saw the widow and did
not raise them again until recess. Joslnh
D. Mlllen, Young's partner, was another
witness, and told of the relations between
Young and Nan Patterson.
The, prosecution Introduced In evidence
a letter purporting to show that Miss Pat
terson had other admirers at the time she
professed to be devoted to Young.
The letter that Mrs. J. Morgan Smith,
sister of the defendant, wrote to Caesar
Young, in which she said Miss Patterson
was "frantic" and which was admitted at
the previous trial, was also ruled out. The
conspiracy charge ugalnst the Smiths is
based on the letter.
Trlaoner Slay Not Testify.
Unless the prosecution has some strik
ing bit of evidence discovered since
the last trial, and which has been
zealously concealed thus far, Nan
Patterson's fate probably will be en
trusted . to the Jury on the case
as presented by her accusers. After
yesterday's session, when Pawnbroker lly
man failed to Identify either J. Morgan
Smith,. Mrs. Smith or Miss Patterson, as
persons who were present in his -store
when the revolver, which killed Caesar
Young was "purchased, Abraham. Levy,
Miss Patternson's counsel sold he was
convinced that the state's case had fallen
flat. "Nan Patterson needs no defence,"
said Mr Levy after a conference with his
associate, counsel. "The defendant will
go to the Jury on the case as made out by
the state when Assistant District Attorney
Rand closes the testimony."
Mrs. Young on Stand.
Mrs. Margaret Young, the widow of the
dead bookmaker, went on the stand this
afternoon. She testified that her husband
never had -owned a revolver, but that she
had one and that she packed It away with a
box of cartridges In her baggage when
she wu preparing to go to Europe Just
before her husband was killed. The re
volver was loaded When she put It In the
suit case a year ago and the cartridges
still remain In the chambers. She Identi
fied' the weapon which was produced by
Mr. Rand.. The only time the weapon ever
was discharged to her knowledge, she said,
was when she fired several shots at a bur
glar. - " ' .
When-thls revolver was found In Young's
baggage soon after the end of the last
trial the counsel for the defense said that
it proved conclusively that witnesses had
testified to what was not true when they
said that Young never had owned a re
valvar.,'.
Mrs. Young said she was married In 1898
and made her hdme in California. It was
her custom to accompany her husband to
the . race . track and conduct business for
htm. She Saw Nan Patterson at the tracks
several times in 13 and 1904 and at that
time knew ef the relations between the
young woman and her husband. When she
first learned (hat Young and Miss Patterson
were- lntlnate, her marriage relations with
her husband were discontinued and there
was no reconciliation until after May 28
of last year, when they went to live at
Sheepshead Hay.
Had So Itevolver.
, Her husband wus In a happy frame of
mind at that time, she said, spoke of hU
plans for the future and after they had
talked ever tho proposed European trip he
engaged passage on the steamer Oermanlo.
Bhe accompanied him from Sheepshead Hay
o toe. Luce home on June 3 and that even
ing they had a party at which her four

sisters were present. Just before midnight
Young escorted some of the women to the
cars and then he and Luce went out and
did not return until about I a. m. Before
Young arose that morning she needed some
money to pay an express man and searched
his pockets. She was positive that he did
not have a revolver.
Mrs. Young Identified a letter written
by Julia Smith to Young while they were
living at the Hotel Wolcott In this city
last May. She said that on .the morning
of June 4 her husband left the Luce home
about 7 o'clock, saying he was going to
get shaved and buy a new hat and that
he would meet her at the steamship pier
at 9 o'clock. He told her he needed a
new hat because he might be met by some
body when they arrived In Europe.
Julia Smith Letter Excluded.
Mr. Rand offered In evidence the
Julia Smith letter which had been Identi
fied by Mrs. Young, Recorder Qoff ruled
that It was not competent. There had been
no evidence produced, he said, to prove that
Nan Patterson had authorized the writing
of the letter or that she had any knowledge
of Its contents or even that it had been
sent.
It was upon this letter that the Indict
ments charging conspiracy against Miss
Patterson, J. Morgan Smith and Mrs, Smith
were based.
The Julia Smith letter was accepted as
evidence by Supreme Court Justice Davis
at the Inst trial. Recorder Qoff. In reach
ing his decision today, said he did not wish
to be considered as dissenting from the
decision of Justice Davis; that his ruling
on the point today was not to be accepted
as final; that he would allow the attorneys
further time to argue the evidence tomor
row.
Mrs. Young was not cross-examined
A stenographer, who took notes of Miss
Patterson's testimony at the last trial,
read It to the Jury.
DR. LAMPEN ASKED TO RESIGN
Board of Trustees of Bellevue Col
lege Call on President
to Step Out.
The executive commltte of the Board of
Trustee of Bellevue college have asked
President R. Harlow Lampcn to resign at
the end of the school year. The request
was embodied In a letter sent Inst week
after a meeting of the committee to Presi
dent Lampen, who Is in Philadelphia.
Lr. Lampen was called from the east
last December to take charge of the school,
which had been without a head since the
resignation of Dr. Kerr, about tl year ago,
According to members of the executive
committee Dr. Lampen's services have not
been all they expected. Among other
things It Is charged that he did not bring
any financial support to the college, made
numerous errors In a catalogue that was
abandoned when In the presses and that he
was seen 'at chapel only twice at the
Presbyterian Institution.
Persons In close touch with the affairs
of thf school say that the meeting of the
trustees in June will mark a struggle for
control of the executive committee and
particularly to get it away from the
majority that now dominates it. Some o
these critics' go so far as to declare that
the life or death of the college hangs in the
balance and that the friction and distur
bances that have existed for more than a
year must be eliminated or the institution
will have to be abandoned.
BAXTER AND THE BEEF TRUST
Nebraska Inlted States Attn.....
Goes to C'hlcasro to Consult
with Morrison.
MILWAUKEE, April 2".-The latest step
In the career of Frank O. Bigelow, the
former bank president, who defaulted in
the num of tl.&oo.ooo, Is the filing of a peti
tion In voluntary bankruptcy. The revised
schedules show a total liability of J3.277.000,
of which. $l,975.ono Is wholly or In, part se
cured. Of the remainder, $1,110,000 Is a sec
ondary liability on notes ' and bills dis
counted In which Bigelow figures as en
dorser. These are iTotes of the National
Electric company, the Grand Rapids Edison
company, and S. W. Welkins, and are evi
dently connected with the financing of the
National Electric company. The balance,
1192,001), represents unsecured loani, the
largest one being an Indebtedness of 1100.009
to the Brodhead estate, of which Bigelow
was executor. The assets of the banker
are estimated nt l,849,8n0, against which a
homestead exemption of $5,000 Is placed.
The rest of the asests consist chiefly of
stock in various Industrial and other en
terprises and 1,6X0 acres of coal land In
Huerfano county, Colorado, valued at $100,-
000. The schedule states that he has no
cash on hand. '
Hank Are Secured.
Particularly noticeable upon examination
of the schedule of secured creditors la that
nearly every bank from which Bigelow bor
rowed money exneted ample security before
the loans were negotiated.
The filing of the schedules revealed the
fact that Bigtlow, who has been looked
upon as a model of business sagacity, pur- J
sued startllngly looee methods In the trans
action of his private business. He was not
positive of the names of several of his cred
itors and had no memoranda with which to
refresh his memory. . Evidently he had no
system of keeping a record of his financial
transactions.
Under the bankruptcy laws the turning
over by Bigelow of $300,000 worth of prop
erty as a restltutlonary measure to the
bank Is null and void, the transfers having
been made within four months of the filing
of the petition In bankruptcy. This, how
ever, will not affect the bank, the directors
having more than made up the entire de
ficiency caused by the defalcations of the
president.
Late today Judge Landls appointed the
Wisconsin Trust and Security company re
ceiver for the bankrupt estate of Frank G.
Bigelow.
This action was taken today because one
of the life Insurance policy premiums upon
the life of F. O. Bigelow becamo due today
and had to be paid In order to prevent It
from lapsing.
Jt Is reported that Bigelow is heavily In
debted to several well known Milwaukee
ans, whose names do not appear In the
schedule.
A trustee will be appointed by the credi
tors of the estate at a meeting about May 8.
Ilnnk In Good Condition.
In evidence of the fact that the First Na
tional bnnk Is In a perfecly normal condi
tion was made today when It was learned
that the balance against the bank today
In the clearing house amounted to only
$50,000. Had n balance been held there of
$SOO,000 It would have been no surprise to
the directors or other bankers, and the
smallness of the bolance shows that the
bank in question did a very large business
of Its own.
John I. Beggs and J. II. Vandyke, Jr.,
directors of the First National bank, were
today elected president and vice president
respectively of the National Electric com
pany. 8. W. Watklns, the former president,
resigned and Mr. Bigelow and others were
dropped from the directorate of that com
pany. Banker Are Surprised.
The revelations as to the system of
Mr. Bigelow in conducting large affairs
are such as to utagger the belief of
bankers to whom method of such
transactions Is ns a second nature.
The filling of the petition In bank
ruptcy will necessitate the withdrawal of
the securities, which were turned over by
Mr. Bigelow to the First National bank,
as being made within four months of the
filing of the petition In bankruptcy, It
constitutes an act of preference of credi
tors and the amount which was estimated
at about $300,000 will be equally divided
among all the creditors of Mr. Bigelow.
I his will In no way affect the bnnk, how
ever, as the guarantee of the directors
and stockholders more than covers the
defalcation.
The schedule of Rssestn and liabilities
of Mr. Bigelow, as filed Is ns follows:
Creditors secured to soma, .vtanf
First National hank of Milwaukee. $1,500 000
Wisconsin National bank of Mil-
60,000
according to Mr. Blgelow's figures. Is
about S1.419.C00. but Attorney Charles P.
Spooner said that Undoubtedly these
figures will be subject to considerable
change, as soon as the exact value of
these assets Is determined. He said that
It was probable that there would be a
considerable change In these totals, both
of the liabilities and of the assets.
Brother Revealed Defaleatlon.
CHICAGO, April 27. A special to the
Dally News from Milwaukee says: "Wil
lis m Bigelow, vice president of the First
National bank and brother of Frank O.
Itlgelow, defaulter, accidentally exposed
his brother to the. directors, Is the story
that la accepted In banking circles ns the
true version as to how the crime became
kflown Saturday night. It seems that
Frank G. Bigelow waa called out of town
Saturday and that the affairs of the bank
were left In the hands of his brother. Sat
urday morning a telegram came, ad
dressed to Bigelow, from a New York
bank stating that it was willing to take
care of a draft for 100,000, even though the
bank was already Indebted to the New
York house for $200,000. William Bigelow
could not understand the matter, and waa
more puzzled when he discovered that the
New York bank was charged In the books
with being indebted to the First National
for $200,000. He asked the bank to explain
and found that the telegram was correct.
An examination of the books followed and
ho found po many queer things that he
decided not to wait for his brother to re
turn, but to consult with Mr. Tflstcr. They
immediately suspected one of the cashiers
of defaulting and called a special meeting
of the directors. Frank Q. Bigelow re
turned, but did not see his brother until
he reached the bank In the evening to
attend the meeting. When the directors
had assembled William Bigelow told what
he had discovered and stated that he had
no Idea of the amount taken or who the
criminal was. Thereupon his brother
arose and made the startling disclosure
that ho wa's a defaulter for over $l,000,0t0."

pany five coal wagons from tho Daniels
Coal company passed over Randoloh street
viaduct late this afternoon. Teamsters
who were engaged around the freight
houses underneath the viaduct Jeered the
nonunion dTlvers and commenced to throw
stones. Prompt display by the detectives
of their revolvers quelled the disturbance.
The strike today was not confined en
tirely to teamsters, but spread to the men
employed on the tug Talbot, which is
owned by the Chicago Lighterage com
pany. This attempted to receive goods
from the docks of Farwell & Co. and
thirty stevedores refused to handle the
goods. They were promptly discharged
and nonunion men taken on In their places.
The situation tonight is on the whole far
from reassuring. The labor leaders say
that they will, If necessary, call out every
union driver In Chicago and will make ap
peals to the freight handlers and to organi
zations of railroad men If they find they
are not able to win the strike by them
selves. No action In this direction has been
taken as yet, but t;i o.Ticlals of the
Teamsters' union say that It will be under
taken Just as soon as the circumstances de
mand. Fire More Strikes Called.
The number of teamsters on strike waa
nearly doubled In the early part of the
night, and as a result nearly all the
large stores on State street will be with
out drivers In the morning. Strikes were
called In five big department stores. One
of the largest department stores in the
city did not wait for its drivers to strike,
but told them that they could go.
Many of the large business houses in
the city have.no teams, of their own, but
contract with team owners for their haul
ing. A meeting of these team owners was
held tonight to determine what action they
would take jn the strike,' and it was de
elded that If any of their teamsters were
Interfered with while attempting to de
liver coal there was nothing to do but
have them return to the yards. This was
equivalent to declaring that the team own
ers would take no part In the strike. Three
firms refused to accept this stand tuken
by tho team owners and withdrew from
the Team Owners' association. Striked
were called on them at once. These firms
were the Peabody Coal company, which
operates twenty-three yeards and em
ployed 400 teamsters; the S. G. Hartwell
company, 225 men. This firm does all the
hauling for the People's Gaslight and
Coke company, which supplies the city
with gas. The third company was the
Standard Wash Coal company, which em
ployed twenty drivers.

SOUVENIRS FROM THE KAISER
Officers of Steamer Hamburg- Reach
New York from Cralse
to Italy.
NEW YORK, April 7.-The Hamhnn.
American steamer Hnmburg, which arrived
here late last night, came direct from Italy
after landing Emperor William and his
party at Naples.
Every officer and man on the ship has
some momento of the cruise which was
iin imuj preBeni-a to nim Dy me em-i
peror. The keepsakes Include Jewels,
watches and trinkets, the whole value of
which is estimated at $3,000.
The officers of the steamer sav the em
peror apparently enjoyed every moment
of his trip. When the ship reached Tan
gier and a heavy sea prevented the royal
party from landing a large quantity of
correspondence for the emperor wa
brjnght on board. In It were several
telegrams which referred to comment at
the French capital on his trip. As he
read them the emperor remarked: "The
whole world Is In trouble when I travel."
NEW YORK, April 27.-A gift of $10,000,
000 by Andrew Carnegie to provide annui
ties for college professors who are not able
to continue In active service was announced
today by Frank A. Vanderllp, vice presi
dent of the National City bank of New
York. Professors In the United States,
Canada and Newfoundland will share In
the distribution of the Income of the fund.
United States 8teel corporation S per cent
first mortgage bonds for $10,000,000 have been
transferred to the board of trustees and
steps will be taken at once to organize a
corporation to receive the donation. Dr.
Prltchett, president of the Massachusetts

have been selected by Mr. Carnegie to ob
tain data on the subject, to be presented
at the first meeting of the board of trustees,
which will take place on November 15,
Annuities for Collrare Presidents,
Mr. Vanderllp today sent the following
letter to the press:
Mr. Andrew Carnegie has transferred to
board of trustees, consisting In the main
of presidents of the most important col
leges in the United Slates -and Canada,
$10,000,000 first mortgage 5 per cent steel cor
poration bonds. The nurnose of the trust
fnnn thus created Is to provide annuities
for college professors In the I'nlted State
Canada and Newfoundland who from old
age or other physical dimblllty are no
longer In a position to render the most
efficient service. It Is Mr. Carnegie's belief
that this fund will not only provide a dig
muea pension system for a oody or mosi
worthy, self-sacrificing and poorly paid
men, but that It will be of distinct value
to the cause of education In offering an op
portunity to the trustees of a college to re
tire members of the -faculty who have
faithfully wrved the Institution for many
years and to replnce such men with your.g
vigorous and efficient proressors. I am
taking the llbertv of enclosing herewith
Mr. Carnegie's letter outlining the nature
of his bequest. This letter wns written to
the members of the board of trustees. The
list of trustees is bIbo enclosed. All have
accepted.
Corporation to Be Formed.
Steps will at once be tuken to organize a
corporation to formally receive the be
quest. The first meeting of the hoard- of
trustees has been called for November 15
In the meantime it Is Mr. Carnegie's de
sire that Dr. Prltchett, president of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and
myself proceed to obtain data from all
the Institutions concerned for use nt the
meeting of the trustees. The bonds which
Mr. Carnegie has so graciously donated
have market value of JU.OOO.OOo and will
produce an annual Income of 1500.000.
The corporation which Is being formed
will be styled "The Carnegie Foundation
Yours very truly,

Letter of Carnegie.
Mr. Carnegie's letter to the trustees is
dated April 1! and is as follows:
I have reached the conclusion that the
least rewarded of all the professions Is
that of the teacher In our Higher educa
tional institutions. New Yora City en-
erously, and very wisely, provides retiring
pensions for teachers in its public schools
ana also tor ns policemen. Very few, in
deed, of our colleges are able to do so
The consequences are grievous. Able men
hesitate to adopt teaching as a career, and
many old proiesaors whose places should
be occupied uy younger men cannot De re
tired.
I have, therefore, transferred to you and
your successors as trustees. SlO.OuO.OtiO 5 per
cent first mortgage bonds of the
United States Hteel corporation, the rev
enue from which is to provide retiring
rtenslons for the teachers of universities,
colleges and technical schools In our own
country, Canada and Newfoundland, under
such conditions as you may adopt from
time to time. Expert calculations snow
that the revenue will be ample for the
rtnrnnHP
The fund applies to the three classes of
Institutions named, without regard to race,
sex creed or color. We have, however, to
recognize the state and colonial govern
ments which have established, or mainly
,ir,r,rt universities, colleges or schools. I
nrmr that their relations shall remain
exclusively with the state. I cannot.
Include them.
There is another class which states do
r,t 01,1 their constitutions in some case9
... .,rhii.iin It. via: sectarian Insttu
. o i,nv nt' these, established long ago,
were truly sectarian, but today are frea

HINES MAKES SUGGESTIONS
9aa District Attorneys hon!d Have
Power to Initiate Prnaecnllons
of Interstate Commerce- I,tt,
WASHINGTON. April 77. Walker D.
Hines continued his stntement before the
senate committee on Interstate commerce
today. Mr. Hlnes expressed the opinion
that the Interstate Commerce commission
should have authority to send nn expert to
examine the accounts of carriers and ship-
pern; also that district attorneys should
begin action for violation of the law on
complaint of the commission or other per
sons, without reference to or by direction
of the attorney general. -
Mr. Hlnes declared that to create a rate-
making body would be a step In the direc
tion of government ownership.
Answering Chalrmnn Elklns. Mr. Hines
raid that giving a commission authority to
fix rate would mean reductions, aa rates
never would be increased. This would mean
a reduction In expenses, either In train
service, improvements or v?nges of em
ployes. Congress could authorize a commission to
fix a maximum rate, the witness said.
A. C. Lincoln, general freight agent of
tho Missouri Pacific railroad, said fixing of
rates by any other method than by natural
methoda by railroads would destroy com
petition. Mr. Lincoln spoke of the condition in Ar
kansas, where the state commission fixes a
mileage rate for the state and wherein
traffic wholly within the state the rate per
mile was the same on all railroads. There
were complaints of manufacturers who
claimed that they were unable to compete
with manufacturers outside the state and
who said they Buffered because there waa
no flexibility In rates. Iowa was another
state that had the mileage rate, and he at
tributed the hick of manufacturing In that
state to this fact, saying that Kansas had
more manufacures than Iowa.
He replied at some length to the state
ment of S. H. Cowan, who had said before
the committee there were overcharges on
live stock.
Live stock, according to Mr. Lincoln, was
more frequently carried at a lose than any
other traffic, on account of the competition
and the equipment requirements for hand
ling such freight.
