As I nominated Mr. Adams for this position, to which he was elected by a unanimous vote. and as I was charged by C. Swartr. with having thus put an obstructionlsl and other- wise rrnflt man on the committee. knowing that he would hinder the nrrrch needed school building, It be- comes my riuty to speak for Mr. Ad- ams, and afterwards to attend to the charge of Mr. Swartz. The trouble he- gan wiib‘the calling by Mr, Adams for the reading of the minutes of the last meeting. No one else doing It. it was clearly Mr. Adam‘s right, indeed his duty to make the call. t.ny? Be- cause, at the previous meeting action had been taken that. would prevent the opening ,of the bids at the time fixed. The minutes were not on hand as they clearly should have been and a vote was cast that the reading be dis- pensed with. Then a verbal report. of the secretary Mr. Swariz showed that Mr. Adams was in the clear line of his duty in making the call for the min- utes. Then on motion of Mr. Golden was-cast a vote, postponing the open- ing of the bids to Thursday evening of this week and instructing the bidders to bring in separate bids for the heat- lng and ventilation, Mr. Adams then rose and said that he wished to make a statement He had been appoint: ed a committee of one to iOok into the question of beating and vcuiliatirsr. The architect having furnished no plans for the heating. we have been obliged to go for Intolruation to the Franklin street building to look over the architect's system. as it Is being used there. He said he bollevcvl that the system was not properly installed there, and said that he would hope to have the committee and the architect to with him and see if he was right so as to avoid a possible like mistake in the new building. Now It seems to me that this was-all reasonable and in the line. indeed of Mr. Adam's duty as a member of the committee. Mr. Adams made no charge that the archi- tect was in any way at fault in the mailer, indeed all the members must have known that the Franklin street bu..ding was not built under Mr Brlgg‘s supervision, .rrcre was noth- lng In all this that l courrl sec, for Vlr.

Bill as the Germans say it was “thunder Weather" and the storm broke and for a time It. was hard to tell just what was said. It was said. however. that Mr. Adams Irari insulted the architect and that his statements about the Franklin SI. building were a “pack of lies." The Inability of the committee to work without friction has arisen, I be. Hove, from the fact that there had been from the beginning a pro- nounced difference of opinion stirring the members us lo the proper functions of the corrrnrillcc. ()no view, voiced by Mr. Swartz, has been that a competent. architect should be engaged and practically the whole matter left In his hands. The other position held by Mr. Adams. has been that a competent architect having berm secured, he becomes the co-work or with the committee.

EASE III III IHE IIIII Nan ‘SIIII Feels Confident That She Will be Acquitisd ' oi the Murder of Caesar Young -— Recorder Coil Charge NEW YORK, May 3.—-—Nan Patterson left her cell In the Tombs for the court of general sessions today to witness the last scenes of her trial on a charge of, killing Caesar Young. Assistant District Attorney Rand had finished his argument as prosecutor yesterday and the defense had already spoken its final word. only the charge of Re- corder Goff to the jury remained be- fore the case went to the jury for a verdic.t Warden Flynn of the lambs prison said today that she was a wonderfully composed girl. The warden's com- meat was made after Miss Patterson had risen early and eaten a prison breakfast with her sister. Mrs. J. Mor- gan Smith. She seemed‘cheerful and was ready to go to the court room some time before she was called for. "l‘he session of the court was opened at 10:30 and ten minutes later Recorder Goff began his charge to the jury. Remarkable scenes were witnessed around the criminal cOurt building to- day. Early In the day crowds began to gather and hours before the time for opening of court the corridors were filled with men and women hoping to break through the cordon of guards around the court room doors on the first rush. Even In the streets around the building crowds stood waiting. 0n the Tombs prison side the street span- ned by the Bridge of Sighs was jammed with people waiting to catch a glance of the prisoner as she passed the lit. tle, barred. half~open window which overlooks the street. As the hour for the opening of court approached. the regular force of uniformed guards In the building was quadrupled. every stairway was guarded and an officer stood outside every elevator landing. The Patterson trial was not the only case being heard on the third floor of ...e big building, however, and hun- dreds of persons, taking advantage of this. gained temporary admission to the upper floors. Time after time the corridors were cleared and the crowds streamed out to the streets, only to return to make other attempts, most of them fruitless, to gain admittance to the court room. Practically every seat in the body of the court room lrarl been spoken for tar in advance and It seemed as if ev- ery favored one used the privilege ac- corded, as there was hardly an inch of room to spare long before the pris- oner came in and took her place be- side bar counsel. In beginning his charge to the jury Recorder Goff said: "This case has nothing extraordi- nary In it. So far as the testimony goes, two persons most spoken of dur- ing the entire proceedings. the deceas- ed, a man of the name of Youn , a racetrack man. barf this defendant to live wilhghivn as his mistress.

May 3.——lt ls rumored that the destination of Vice Admiral Retest- vensky's fleet is Petropavlovski. on the. peninsula of Kamchatka, instead of Vladivostok. It is said that the Rue- sians have been collecting coal and stores at Petropavlovski. but it is re~ garded as improbable that the Russians intend to use Petropavlovski to any great extent because its defense from land Is considered impossible. The work of solving the sunken ships at Port Arthur and Chemulpo is pro- grossing satisfactorily to the Japanese. Details are withheld. but It ls‘belleved to be certain that the Japanese navy will secure several battleships and cruisers. A solemn procession escorting the spirits of the dead soldiers and sailors opened the enshrinlng ceremonial at the Shokonsha temple today.
