Defends Ex-Mayor Edwin
Adams for the Position Taken
at the Meeting of the Building,
Committee Last Friday Night
-Diiierence of Opinion
Among Committee Caused
Friction

 

Editor of The Sentinel: Your report
of the meeting held to open the blris
for the new school building. published
in your issue of Saturday. surely does
great, though no doubt unintention-
al injustice to Mr. Adams of tire corn-
Iuitrec. 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. Briggs or the other members of
the committee to take exceptions to;
no occasion Io do anything but to pass
a vote to grant Mr. Adams reasonable
request at a. convenient time and end
lire matter. 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. A difference. so
marked as this would be sure to lead
to more or less friction and conlerr
ilorr among men as positive its ”to
members of our bullrilrg clilrllillllore;
llut'to clalur that Mr. dams Is the
cause of all the trouble III absurd. The
charge that Mr. Adams III proiiy and
tiresome and insists on talking ml the
time. fails when It. must be arlrulticri
that, an established time limit for
speech would have cared that trouble

And now brother Swartz. It, Is no to
you and myself. In a moment of an
ger, you marten very ugly charge

You and l have lived In this town

' 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. The
man’s death. because of the personals
ity of this man Young. had nothing in
It to excite your passions or your
prejudices. He was a mere gambler.
a racetrack man. Therefore you should
be able to consider the facts calmly.
without prejudice and passion. .

“There Is no artificial atmosphere
fur you to be excited or distracted by.
too must decide the circumstances
wltborri. any thpught of tho atmo-
sphere, calmly and with a quiet mind.

The Patterson case went to the jury
at 1:02.

When the jury left the court room
they did not go to luncheon. brit went
directly to the jury room to begin rio-
llborntlons.

Russians Have Been Collecting
Coal and Stores at Poiro-
psvlovslri, But Land Defence
Is Bad -—~ Japanese Solving
Ships at Port Arthur

TOKIA. 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. The im-
presslvo Shinto ritual was followed by
the throng that filled and surrounded
the temple, including thousands of
relatives of the dead. High officers of

 

the army and navy, a large force of:

troops. and MOO sailors from Yoko-
suka were present at the ceremonies,
which will be practically continuous
until next, Friday night.

The emperor and empress will-pot
attend tomorrow on account of India-
position. Prince Fushlmi will repre-
sent their majesties upon that occa—
slon.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 3.——The ad-
miralty professes ignorance as to
whether Admiral Nebogatol’f and Ad.
miral Rojestvensky have joined forces,
but the impression prevails In naval
circles that the juncture has not been
elfected. indeed some doubt is ex
pressed whether Nebogatoff’s division
has yet entered the China Sea.
