. How Checka Are CertlSed.
F. C. Andrews would draw a check for

bv the cashier. Henry R. Andrews. He
would present thla certified check to the
nannn with whom he was doing business
and aak him to ho d it out for that day a the
bank was not In funds to meet It. Perhaps
he would thu hold It out for two or three
oays, and eventually, when there was
money enough In the bank to meet the
claim he would go In and take it out.
There would be only a slip of paper In the
drawer and the withdrawal would be put
down as a cash Item. With this money
he would In person pay the certified check
and tear it up. This was done time and
again.

PATRICK'S COUNSEL ON STAND
Telia of (leereta Which Are-wsed Re
osed In Hla After Death
f Rice.
NEW YORK, Feb. 10.--Th trial of Albert
T. Patrick, charged with the death of Will
iam M. Rice, was resumed today after a
lapse of six day, owing, to the Illness of a
Juror.
The most Interesting part of the trial
today was the move of the slate In plac
ing In the witness box John R. Pott, a law
yer and banker and at one time at least r
friend of the accused. Mr. Pott said
among other things that Patrick, a few
days before bis arrest, but after Mr. Rice's
death, had retained him as counsel and
that the tie bad not been severed.
Mr. House, of counsel for defense, ob
jected strongly to the testimony being ac
cepted by the court- oa th ground that
Mr. Potts conversations with Patrick were
privileged. The court, however, allowed
Mr. Potta to testify to matter prior to
Patrick' arrest.
The witness said he had known Patrick
since 1870, becoming Intimate with htm
In 1890.
He had never seen Mr. Rice in Patrick's
office, though the latter wa In the lame
suite aa hi (Potts') office.
Patrick had told him a rich client had
died and made him residuary legatee. Pat
rick had also shown him many of the docu
ments now In dispute among the "Patrick"
will, and be had told Patrick he did not
think the will would hold. Patrick replied:
"That's all right; the estate 1 practi
cally mine."
Mr. Pott also advised Patrick not to
fill out and use the blaak checks purported
to have been given hint by Mr. 'Rice and
Patrick replied that he would use the
money as Mr. Rice had Intended that tt
should be used. Patrick had told witness
that Rice had named him as residuary leg
atee because of his personal regard for
him. He also told wltnes the day before
Rice died that he had not sees him for a
week.
Then Potta swore that the day after the
death Patrick brought him a check for
$25,000 ud ashed him to get It certified.
This he had done, a he had done with
other checks. The defense confined Itself to
asking Potts If Patrick had told him he
was to receive the estate aa trustee, and
the answer waa that he had.
John T. Potter, the undertaker who em
balmed Rlce'a body, was called aqd test!
fled that he gave a sample of the fluid to
Professor Wltthaus for analysis.
Andrew T. Ralph, as, real estate dealer
at Houston, Tex., identified some letters
written by Mr. Rice, one of which by Its
postmark showed that H waa mailed after
Rice's death. He aald he bad had business
relations with Mr. Rice for about six year
and never heard of Patrick la connection
with any of Rlce'a affair.
At this point the court was adjourned
until tomorrow.
REACH .SOME REAL RESULTS
Presbyterian Revisionists Make Clear
. Position on Elect, Infant and
' Other Iasnes.
' '. - . .
PHILADELPHIA, Feb.5Mf-The - .creed
committee of the Presbyterian church, now
sitting in this city, disposed ot considera
ble work today, It coming to a definite de
cision on several. vital points in th con
fession of faith. The work done 1 best
ummed up In the official statement given
out by Dr. William H. Roberta of this city,
the stated clerk of tha general aBiembly
and the aecretary of the committee. It is
this: .
The work nf the rnmmtttn an far na mm.
pleted provides a declaratory statement for
Chapter lit of the confession of faith on
Eredestlnation, and also ior Chapter x,
ection 3, on elect Infants.
The secretary. Dr. William H. Roberts,
repeat his statement that the American
Prsbyterlan church does not teach that any
dying In Infancy are lost.
The committee further has agreed to re
vision of the text of the confession tn the
maiier or good works Chapter jtvl. Sec
tion 7. of lta btlnff a aln tn refuHA an nnth-
Chapter xxl. Section 6. and also to the pope
uring a man or sin, vnapier xxv, section o.
It also adds to the confession two chap
ters, one on the Holy Spirit and the other
on the rospel.
In explanation of the second paragraph of
the foregoing statement regarding Dr. Rob
erts' reiteration that the American Presby
terian church does not teach that any dy
ing in infancy are lost, be aald that ha had
first made a statement to that effect last
week and that since then he ho received
many communication from clergymen, re
ligious newspaper editors and others as to
whether he had been correctly quoted. He
said he had solicited the Individual opinion
ot each member of the committee and that
they were all of the opinion as he stated
It. The 'committee steadfastly refuses to
give out the text of anything it has finally
passed upon. It made exception to that
pertaining to Chapter xvl. Section 7, en
"good works." This section ia as follows:
workB done by unregenerate men, al
though for the manner of them they may
be things which God commands and of
gooa views Doth to themselves and others
yet, because they proceed not from a heart
purified by faith, nor are done In a right
manner, aacordlng to the word, nor to a
right end, the glory of Uod, they are there-
tore siniui ana displeasing unto Uod.
Thia section was revised by striking out
the words "are therefore sinful and."
The committee did not pretend to revise
the confessional, but wanted to confine It
self to preparing a declaratory statement
of the faith. It was found after ap ex
haustive discussion of the matter, however.
that to prepar a declaratory atatement that
would Intelligently, explain the point in
volved would be a difficult task, and the
members finally agreed that a revision of
the chapters under consideration would be
preferable.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. (Special Tel
egram.) Representative Shallenberger of
the Fifth Nebraska district made his
maiden speech today and wa accorded re
spectful attention. He relied upon some
of hla colleagues to secure time tor him,
but they were absent from the house when
Shallenberger saw an opportunity to de
liver his views on tbo dairy interest of
bis district. By close manipulation, how
ever, and borrowing time ' from other
speakers, he was given twenty minute to
talk about oleomargarine.
He said the cattle interests In the west
were rapidly changing from range to farm,
and that the farmer Instead of the ranch
man was the person to be considered at
this time. "The farmer realties upon milk
and butter from hie herds, aa well as from
the beef," said Mr. Shallenberger, "while
the cattle grower realize alone upon the
beet aald."
He made the assertion that of the leading
cattle-raising state of th union, .nine to
day were devoting their energies primarily
to the milk and butter Industry, while th
beef Industry was ot secondary Importance.

CONTENTION OF ATTORNEYS ON CASE
Connell for City and Mcintosh to
t- CnmnUliiiili Mr hate Motion to
Dissolve WHhoat Matter Reach
ing; Polat of Sahmlsalon.
City Attorney W. J. Connell ha com
pleted his argument on hi motion to vacat
Judge Dickinson temporery Injunction or
der restraining the council from passing the
ordinance levying the 1902 assessment as
proposed. Attorney J. II . Mcintosh, who
represents W. G. Shrlver and Oeorge Mor- .
ton, In whose names th order waa secured,
haa, partially completed bis reply to th
Ity attorney, but when court adjourned
yesterday afternoon had still some prece
dent to cite, and th hearing wa con
tinued until 9:30 thl morning, with a pros
pect of its reaching a conclusion early.
The motion of the attorney for the i.r; .ot
railway company to quaah th ub?or.nas
served on officials ot th five fnr.oblsed .
corporation of Omaha wa disposed of
shortly fter 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon
when the court sustained th motion Inso
far a It applies to the officer being re
quired to produce the books and records
of' their companies in court, but overruled
It in its aoollcatlon to th officers them
selves having to appear.
Basis of the Decision.
Judge Dickinson in taking thl action .
stated that the court' only Jurisdiction in
the matter before it waa to decide whether
the council bad proceeded properly in the
matter of the complaints of Shrlver nd
other; not whether the assessment of th
corporations ia controversy had been fair
and sufficient, and that, thia being true.
the production of th records showing the
financial affairs ot the corporations would
be without excuse.
When this decision bad been announced
Attorney Mcintosh had E. M. Morsman,
secretary and treasurer of tbo Nebraska
Telephone company, called to tha stand: .
The latter, answering questions, testified
that he had known from th papera thai
member of th real estate exchange bad
filed complaint against the corporation as
sessments, but that be bad not actively In
terested himself In tha debate.
How. the Connell Proceeded.
City Attorney Connell had Councilman D.
J. Mount of th Seventh ward called, Th
latter testified that he had been present al
the ' Board of Equalization meeting when
representatives ot th real estat exchange '
and the corporations we're each allowed
thirty minute hearing ' In ' debat on th
complaint. ' , . ' - '
And were you present at the Monday
meeting when Councilman Hascalt pre
sented his motion finally disposing bt tha
complaint?" asked the city attorney.
Yes."
Was it not In writing, and was It not
discussed?"
"Yes."
"You may explain tba circumstance."
"In disponing of such motions -H I th
rule that no one be allowed to discus th
question after roll call ha begun, yet Coun
cilman Lobeck tried then to demand tb
advice ot the city attorney, and delayed
two minute while the cbalr wa calling
on him to vote. There wa nothing tn pre
vent hi voting."
How about Councilman Zlmman's vot
ing?"
"The circumstances were tb same, prac
tically."
Street Railway Company Called.
Attorney Mcintosh bad John L. Webstar
ot the street railway company on the stand
next. In an effort to prove that It wa
distinctly the Real Estate exchange as a
whole, and not Morton or Shrlver, who waa
given attention by tha board at tb Friday
meeting. He asked:
Did you appear at the meeting referred
to by these other wltnessee?" '
Yea, upon the notice received by th
street railway company."
What was said with reference to taking
up complaints?"
It was announced in a general way that
such was to be done. I do not remember
the exact words.".
Wbat occurred after the announce
ment?"
Councilman Hascall made a motion that
the complainant and the corporation
should each have an hour and a half. This
waa modified to tha end that th complain
anta need occupy but . halt an hour, and
then th corporation halt an hour, but con
tinuing alternately until tb full tint Was
consumed."
You don't claim to bo quoting tha exact
worda?" asked Attorney Mcintosh.
"No."
What Haacall Referred To.
"Now, didn't Hascall say that th ex
change and tbe corporation should hav
the halt hours?"
Sometimes tbe reference was to the ex
change, sometimes to the Commercial club
and sometimes merely to the complain
ant."
You understood this, then, to be be
tween the Real Estate exchange and Com
mercial club and tbe corporation?"
"I understood those first two to b at
tb bead ot it all. In th preparation for
debate tha reference to the complainant
wa merely to .those on that side of th
house from among wbom. wera to be
chosen, by tbe men themselves, thos who
should speak for tbem."
"Didn't F. D. Wead (tha chairman of tb
exchange's tax committee) do th desig
nating?" "I don't know. I only remember that
aomeone on that side mad announcement
that so-and-so would b tb next speaker."
"Well. Mr. Webster, didn't you. In th
course ot your remarks, take occasion to
say that no sufficient complaints had bee
filed?"
"No. I emphasized that vldenea must
be produced to aupport any that war filed."
A Bve-mlnut races waa taken, which
gave Jamea Crelghtoa opportunity ta raise
his familiar olc la th court room loud
enough for all to hear hi auggeatlon that
tb city and tha corporation seemed to be
entering into a "happy family arrange
ment."
