and Dr. and Mrs. George E. Lorenz for

testimony was devoid of any feature. Mr.
Howley, who had not cpncluded his testi
mony when court adjourned for the day,
was rigidly cross-examined by Mr. Kum
ler. of counsel for Dr. and Mrs. Lorenz.
He admitted that frequently It happened
that Machen's Initials and signature were
placed on letters, orders and requisitions
by his subordinates, and this practice had
resulted in an order to all divisions pro
hibiting their delegating this authority
to others.
District Attorney Reach opened for the
Government and recited the several
counts in the Indictment, specifically what
Is meant by conspiracy, and said that tho
defendants had been brought Into court
on a charge of dishonesty. He said, be
would prove the payment to Machen by
the Graffs of 40 per cent of the price of
the fasteners, a cart of which went to the
Lorenzs, as intermediaries. Counsel for
the defendants waived an opening state
ment, whereupon an adjournment was
taken to permit the District Attorney and
counsel for defendants to agree with ref
erence to the examination of certain evi
dence In the possession of both.
Conspicuous among those in attendanco
was ex-Assistant Postmaster-General
Perry S. Heath, one of the witnesses for

are being done to establish universal
arbitration In the world, not only be
tween the great and powerful nations,
who might hesitate because ot the con
sequences to go to war with one another,
but also in favor of the weaker and
smaller nations in the face of the great
and powerfuL I hope and pray for the
day when the gospel of peace will reign
supreme in the world, and when Interna
tional disputes shall be settled, not on
the field ot battle. In sanguinary conflicts,
but In the halls of legislation by wise
men who have made profound study of
international questions."

PATRICK MAY GET OFF.
Important Papers In Case of Murder
er of Millionaire Are Lost.
NEW YORK. Jan. 2. All the Impor
tant papers In the case of Albert T. Pat
rick, under sentence of death for the
murder of the aged Texas millionaire,
"William Marsh Rice, are reported to have
been lost from the District Attorney's of
fice. "Without them It may be impossible
to fight the appeal now pending, and the
most intricate case. on the court records
for a century may result in the freeing of
tho prisoner after his having spent two
years in the death house.
The papers reported to be missing In
clude the famous Rice will of 1S93, and all
the exhibits collected by District Attorney
Jerome with which to fight the appeal of
Patrick's lawyers. Their loss will render
District Attorney Jerome utterly helpless.
Every legal means of saving Patrick from
the electric chair has been used by his
attorneys and the appeal now pending Is
final.
'Officials in the District Attorney's office
know that the documents are still In ex
istence, and believe that they can recover
them. How strong this hope is based
will probably be shown within a few days.
It is understood that tho grand Jury has
called before it two men who are known
to spend much of their time around the
criminal courts building. One of these
witnesses, upon being questioned closely
regarding the missing papers. Is Bald to
have related that as he was walking along
Center street several days ago he kicked
out of the slush a package of papers. Ho
saw that they were exhibits In the Patrick
case, and that the Rice will of 1893 was
among them. He declares that he took
them to a lawyer living In Harlem whom
he knew. This lawyer has thus far re
fused to discuss the matter.
Meanwhile, the loss had been discovered,
and the staff ot the District Attorney's
office were searching for tho documents.
Finally the matter was laid before the
grand Jury.
Later it was learned that the entire
batch of papers and exhibits had been re
covered, and their temporary loss win in
no way effect the status ot the Patrick
case. "While great secrecy has been
thrown around the affair it Is said the
grand Jury Is now Investigating the af
fair with the sole ooject or. placing tne
blame for the abstraction of the docu
ments from the Criminal Courts building.

NO BIG LEAGUE FOE HUT.
Whispering Phil Nadeau Wouldn't
Compete. With Friends.
Phil Nadeau. looking as fit as that
proverbial fiddle, and garbed in the latest
fashion, ro turned to Portland yesterday
mornlng from the East. The short rest
that the crack leftflelder "has enjoyed
since the season closed and a pleasant
visit among home folks had done wonders
for the whispering one and he declares
that he is not only glad to get back, but
that his hip, which gave him so much
trouble during the last part of the sea
Bon, has quit bothering him. He will
stay in Portland a couple of weeks and
then will go to the Spring training camp
at Bakersfleld. Ike Butler is already on
the ground and he will be Joined later in
the week by Buck Freeman, who will
leave Portland within a day or two.
Nadeau is not a bit sorry that he turned
down the Brooklyn offer and he takes a
very wise view of the situation. He says
that it would be a struggle between Van
Buren, "Judge" McCreedy and himself
to see which would stick in fast com
pany and rather than be fighting for a
berth with his friends as opponents, ho
preferred the Coast.
"t have been working to get Into the
National League for ten years," ho said
yesterday, "and I had always promised
myself that nothing would stop me when
the chance came. It Is the ambition of
every minor league ball player to get a
call from the big fellows. I had no re
serve clause in my Portland contract, ro
when the offer came I accepted It. Then
I learned that "Van Buren, one of the best
fellows in the business and a ball player
of the first water, and 'Judge McCreedy
were also to be tried out. I felt that all
three of us could not land, so I drew out.
Portland suits me. I like Manager Ely
and lost no time In asking to be allowed
to sign again for 1904." k
"Whispering Phil's friends will welcome
his return to Portland with a glad band.
