SIGHT SHOCKS - HER Nan PattersorSeeS' Skeleton Produced ih'Cburt COURSE OF "BULLET TRACED Actress Accused of Slaying Caesar Young Almost Collapses .Young Man Who Directed Cabdrlver to Hospital Star Witness. NEW YORK. Nov. 22. Several-unusual ieatures were presented in the Supreme Court today in' the trial of Nan Patterson, the actress, for the alleged murder of Bookmaker -Caesar ,Y6ung. During the day a skeleton and -two pieces of skin from Young's." second finger, 'yere pro duced"" in court by the prosecution. The skeleton .was shown in order that the course ot ,tho bullet that killed Young might be' traced. - The state, It: is under stood, expects to use the -pieces of skin in Tefutlng the suicide theory. The introduction of .these exhibits caused a, -sensation in the courtroom and for a time Miss Patterson seemed. on the A'erge-iof collapse. The courtroom was crowded when tha trial was resumed, and the -corridors' of the "building were thronged. ' . .t William Stemm, Jr., -the young-man who directed Michael, the cabdrlver, to the hospital; was -the star witness of the day. Ke was standing on the corner of "West Broadway and York street and heard the revolver shot just after the cab had passed him. He was startled and looked up the- street quickly, trying to locate the spot from which the shot was fired. Thera was no one on the opposite side of the" street, and he concluded the shot must have been fired in the cab, which was about 12 feet away and moving rather slowly. As the cab swung around to the drugstore, he followed, and saw the driver talking with the druggist. In the cab he saw a man and woman, the man lying In the woman's lap. Actress Frightened and Pale. "The driver seemed to be all tangled up," said Stemm, "and X rode on. the step of the cab to the hospital. When we reached the hospital I helped a policeman to carry the man in, and then helped the. woman to alight. She was frightened and pale, and looked as if she wanted to cry -out but could not." In reply to questions by Mr. Levy, the witness said that about eight or nine minutes elapsed from the time he heard the shot until the cab reached the drug store. Traffic both ways prevented the cab getting there sooner. Mr. Levy had one of the jurors hold a watch while the witness estimated one minute of time, marking the beginning and ending by clapping his hands. The Juror's watch showed that only .six sec onds elapsed between the two handclaps. Stemm said there were several men around the cab as it stood near the drug store, but ho could not recall seeing a red-haired young man referred to by Mr. Levy. He first told, of his connection with the tragedy the following Saturday. He had heard the police were looking for him as a witness, and voluntarily sur rendered himself. jThe human skeleton which frequently has b."en mentioned in connection with the case niado their first appearance in the courtroom when Coroner'ar Physician Philip O'Hanlon was called to the stand. Dr. O'Hanlon testified that he had per formed the autopsy on Young's body, and said death was caused by hemorrhage of the left lung resulting from a shot wound The bullet had entered the left shoulder and passed downward toward the center of the body, lodging in the muscles of the back. A probe was inserted In the skele ton to show the course taken by the bul let, and both the skeleton and a bullet witness identified as the one taken from Young's body were marked as exhibits. Mrs. Young May Take Stand. There is a pos3ibllitythat Mrs. Young. widow of the bookmaker, will take the stand. Since her husband died. Mrs Young has remained In seclusion, except when she called at the District Attorney's office and testified before the grand jury. During the trial she has not appeared in the courtroom, but it is said she has fol lowed all the proceedings from an ad joining room. Among the spectators today was Milton W. Hazelton. of Oneonta, N. Y., one of the men who claims to have seen Young fire the shot that caused his death. Detectives have renewed their search for J. Morgan Smith, the man alleged to have purchased the revolver alleged to have caused the death of Young. DOWN TO A MAN HUNT. Chicago Detectives Must Find Dove to Solve Bate Murder Mystery. CHICAGO, Nov. 22. No clews devel oped today In the murdeY case of Chaf Xeur Bate, who was killed three days ago. The officers are still seeking dill gently for "Mr. Dove." the man who hired the automobile, but apparently have not succeeded In gaining any knowledge of hi3 whereabouts. Tho case has settled down to a man-hunt, with few facts upon which the search can be directed. John Henness. the young man who last night and this morning was thought to have valuable information regarding the murder, has announced that he knows nothlrrg of It. Ho was credited with statements to the effect that he had seen the murder: that he nad seen the flash of the revolver, and heard the shots that took the life of Bates, but tonight he declared he had said none of these and said he had npt eeen iubu. xie taiu uo ssaw an auto mobile pass along tho road that night, and that was the extent of his informa tion. Henness. however, came to tho front again tonight with another story. He now says he did not see the automobile. That it passed him as he was walking Along the road, and that it contained three people. -After it ?iaa passed him by about a quarter- of a 'mile he heard - - . r.-: r : ' ' . r II First National.

CONFESSES HE SWORE FALSELY Detective Arrested on Charge of Per-' jury In Famo'us 'Gambling Case. NEW YORK, Nov. 22. Joseph Jacobs-a detective who secured evidence against .Richard A. Canfield, was arrested today by order of District Attorney Jerome on a charge of perjury. He was held in 52000 ball and committed to the Tombs. The arrest was based on a confession ''Jacobs made to Philip J. Britt and General Ben jamin F. Tracey, who were, counsel fpr Canfield. and his alleged manager, aaxia Bucklln. Mr. Jerome says Jacobs asked them that as the price of bis confession he be supplied with sufficient funds by Canfield to take him out of the jurlsdlc-' tion of the courts. After being arraigned he made a .fuller confession to Mr. Jerome. It is said by Mr. Jerome that Jacobs would never have been a witness against Bucklln, and the indictment against Can- field has already been quashed. The arrangements for -the arrest of Ja cobs were made by Mr. Brltt and Gen eral Tracy in consultation with Mr. Jer ome. Both Mr. Britt and General Tracy refused to discuss. the confession. All that Mr. Jerome would say about the confes sion is that he (Jacobs) confessed he lied when he said that he had been In Can- field's house at No. 5 East Forty-fourth street: that he did go as far as the inner vestibule and that he remained there for some time in order, he says, to deceive Countv Detective O rell. who swore at the original hearing that he had seen Jacobs go into the house.

COMPARATIVE STATEMENT OF PORTLAND NATIONAL BANKS Condition on November SUES T. W. LAW80N Nev'York Attorney Seeks to ' Recover $350,000, BOSTON MAN IS DEFIANT He Declares He Will Keep Writing "Frenzied Finance," and-'Asks No Quarter of the Cor porations. NEW YORK, Nov. 22. Suit has been brought by Paul Fuller, of this city, against Thomas W. Lawson. of Boston, for $350,000. Mr. Fuller, who Is an attor ney, said that he himself was the plain tiff In the- suit, but. as .to the nature of the proceeding, or Its cause, he declined to have anything to say. It was reported that Mr.'-Lawson's recent writings had caused the bringing of the suit, but this was denied by Mr. Fuller. Mr. Fuller, whd brings the suit. Is a member of the law. firm of -'Fuller Bros. Lorenz Seraple, of the law firm of Cou dert Bros.; said the suit was over a pri vate transaction between Mr. Lawson and Fuller, and had nothing to do with the Boston man's -writings. Tonight E. W. Burdette. tho local at torney for Paul Fuller of New York, said that. thQ suit against Mr. .Lawson was brought In consequence of an assign ment of subscription by Lawson for $350,000 worth of stock in tho Kern Incan descent Gas Light Company of New York City. "ALL GREEK" TO LAWSON. Neither Suits Nor Corporations, He Declares, Can Frighten Him. BOSTON, Nov. 22. Thomas W. Lawson said today that service had been made upon him of papers of a suit for 5350,000 brought by persons In New York, but he was Ignorant, both as to "the contents of the documents and the individuals named In them. He explained he was not ac customed to receiving legal papers, and that he really had not given this matter serious attention. He had merely noted the sum of $350,000 was mentioned, and that the names of Fuller and Coudert ap peared before passing it over to his at torney. He said he had never heard of either Fuller or Coudert before, and that the whole matter was "all Greek" to hlm. Mr. Lawson Issued tonight a signed statement, which, however, beyond tho inference contained in the opening -sentence, throws llttlo light upon the origin or nature of the suit or suits brought against him. In conclusion. Mr. Lawson refers to pressure being brought at Waslhngton in an effort to exclude from the malls his writings on finance. He expresses the opinion that such a proceeding would not be permitted by the postal authorities. "In regard to the suits and rumors of suits, civil and criminal, brought and to be brought against me by the Standard OH, the insurance companies and individ uals because of my story. 'Frenzied Fi nance,' I can simply say: "Bring them along, and I will be pre pared to give battle, giving no odds and asking for none. I -have been telling -a few raw truths, and in this age of dollars no man will be allowed to distribute truth about finance without paylrig the price. My truths are big ones, and I suppose the price will be equally big. But the American people may rest assured that, whatever the price, I will pay It and .not ask any sympathy for doing so; and they can rest easy about another fact: I will make those who have been plundering the people during tho past ten years pay a price to which mine will appear like a tight shoe compared with the Inquisitorial racks of tho dark aces. "Let the American people make no mis take. Twelve o'clock is Just being struck at the While-You-Walt factory, whore multi-millionaires have been turned out from the raw material and unless I miss my guess. It will take more courts than there are In America to drown the omin ous sound of that high noon boll." DEPOSITS IN SAVINGS BANKS. America Makes Fine Showing in Com parison With Other Nations. WASHINGTON, Nov. 22. The total de posits in all the savings banks of the world, according to latest official informa tion received by tho Department of Com merco and Labor through its Bureau of Statistics, amounted to over 510,500,000,000 contributed by S2.WO.000 depositors. Of thla total the United States shows axrereeate deposits of 53,060,179,000. credited to 7.3O5.000 depositors. As the figures used in arriving at the grand totals cover about one-half ot the total population of the world, viz., over 770,000,000, it appears that tho United States, with less than 9 per cent of the total population considered, contributes over -a per cent of the total savings de posits recorded. Of the total, number of depositors, or rather deposit accounts, the share of the United States is somewhat less than 9 per cent, while the .average de posit per account Is more than four times and the averago saving per Inhabitant more than Zi times the corresponding Averages ror tne rest of the world. It is interesting to note that In Eurooe and even In Canada the functions of the government m this field are larger than In this country, where the state restricts itself merely to formulating the general legislation pertaining to tho subject, sanc tioning special charters for the creation of savings banks, and controlling through -special officers the proper workings of said banks. The European governments In many cases have shown greater inter est in this mode of popular saving, either by guaranteeing the safety of deposits or oy instituting government Institutions. chiefly postal savings banks, for the re ceiving and managing of savings deposits. m some countries, such as Russia. Bui garla and Roumania, the lack of private Initiative and the preponderating Influence of the state in the entire economic life of the nation have caused the development of public savings banks to an almost ex 10, 1904, Compared With That on November t7, 1903 clusive extent; in other countries, such as German, Switzerland and France, tho local public bodies, such as the communes or cantons, from the very outset Invited and fostered the deposits of small savings by establishing municipal savings institu tions, wherever tne central government Is in immediate though not exclusive charge of tho savings service, as in the United Kingdom. Belgium and Russia, parts of the deposits are Invested in gov ernment securities, so that tho public sav ings institutions there serve the double purpose of providing a safe .investment for the capital of the less well-to-do and commercially Inexperienced class of the population, as well as of strengthening the public credit of the country by at tracting Investments on the part of such classes, which, left to their own Initiative, might not choose this, or for that matter any other mode of investment The common feature of all savings banks, no matter how organized, is that they are not working for profit the un derlying Idea, being rather to make the deposits as secure as possible. This re sults naturally in an interest rate on de posits considerably below the normal commercial rate prevailing in the respec tive countries. The figures as shown in table below reveal different degrees of what might be termed the "saving ca pacity" of tho different nations, though It should always, be borne in mind that the amounts deposited with savings banks by no means represent the only savings of a nation. Another factor which makes comparisons difficult is the fact that apart from differences in legislation, leav ing to these institutions a greater or smaller latitude of freedom of investment the regulations regarding the maximum amounts which may be credited to one Individual "vary according- to country, and that therefore, the average size of the savings deposit casts but little light on the general prosperity of the people and the more or less equitable distribution of wealth among them. The general social conditions of a coun try, the spread of general education and "banking" habits among the masses, ex isting facilities of communication, the ease and lack of formalities with which savings are made, and last but not least the use made by the population of other modes of saving all these factors have to be considered when international com parisons of savings statistics are at tempted. To give but a- few examples: The total savings deposits of France, as stated in the table below, appear less than those of Austria, while the aggre gate savings deposits of Prussia are shown to exceed those of France by al most 80 per cent Any conclusions with regard to the relative prosperity of these countries based on these figures would be erroneous, as In France the -savings banks deposits constitute but a part and by no means the larger part of the total savings of the nation. As a matter of fact the investments of the French peo ple in Russian public bonds during the most recent period only, not to mention the holdings of the enormous national debt at home, according to the most con servative estimates exceed by far the amounts deposited In national savings in stitutions. In the case of Austria the fig- ures given are somewhat misleading, since the postal savings banks there are en gaged In the general banking business, the amounts reported as ordinary depos its exceeding those reported under the head of savings deposits. With all these restrictions and interpre tation clauses the figures given below are Interesting as showing the wonderful re sults obtained in this field, through In genious organization on the one hand and the spread of thrift and saving habits among the large masses. The following table, based upon the lat est available official returns received by the Bureau of Statistics, shows the num ber of depositors, total amounts of de posits, the average deposit accounts, and the average deposit per inhabitant" in all those countries which publish reports on 'the state of their savings Institutions: 1 fffi Si 2.rf Countries - 2Lo " 3o So Australia Austria .

SAME TRUE OF J0HN MITCHELL He Denies Authorship of Pamphlet Which Excited Federation, and Unpleasant Incident Is Closed More Resolutions Lost. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22. Disputes regarding trade jurisdiction occupied most of the time of the delegates to tho Amer ican Federation of Labor in today's ses sion. There was a ripple of yesterday's exciting proceedings when, upon the open ing of the session, two resolutions intro duced by Delegate Victor Berger, leader of the Socialists, were presented for con sideration. One of these provide for abolishment of the militia as it now exists in the United States, and the substitution of the Swiss system. The convention overwhelmingly defeated the measure. The second Socialistic resolution asked the Federation to go -on record as being in favor of petitioning Congress to pass a bill providing for an old-age pension for workingmen. This measure was also de feated. The convention accorded Delegate "Vic tor Berger tho floor under a suspension of the rules, that he might make a state ment regarding the aspersions cast by the contents of a printed slip from his news paper office upon Samuel Gompcrs and John Mitchell. Healing balm was poured on the wounds when Mr. Berger stated that not only did ha deny the authorship of the article which allowed the infer ence that Samuel Gompers and John Mitchell had been traitors to tho cause of labor, but that he knew nothing about the charges, and was not in synfpathy with the same, and regretted the incident -that caused the ill-feeling of yesterday. John Mitchell thereupon arose and asked to nave stricken from the record the statements made by him to the effect that unless Mr. Berger proved his charges, ho must stand before tho convention Btamped as a liar. The convention gave Its unanimous con sent to this procedure amid applause, and 6o ended the bitterest controversy yet wagedTon tho floor of the convention. A great number of resolutions regarding trade jurisdiction were Introduced and de bated upon. In but few instances were agreements reached. The most bitter fight was waged over the differences -between the bollermakera and the structural ironworkers. The mat ter was finally compromised. A score ot other disputes between the crafts were referred to the executive council for final adjustment. The dispute In each Instance pertained to denning classifications of oc cupations. The woodworkers and painters both claimed Jurisdiction over finishers, but the grievance committee sided with the woodworkers. The committee was overruled by the vote of the convention. In a like manner, the upholsterers were given jurisdiction over the carpat-layers, end mattress-makers and blacksmiths over men of their craft working with wagon-workers.
