INSURE AGAINST STRIKES.
Anal'lan anil German Manufacturers
Form l'roteotlve Auoclatlon.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 A number
'of Austrian manufacturers have
formed an association for insurance
against strikes, according to United
States Consul Hosefeld, at Trieste, It
is the objeot of the association to In
demnify Its members for all losses sus
tained by them from unjust strikes,
which may break out in their respec
tive establishments.
Each member Is to pay a weekly pre
mium equal to from 3 to 4 per cent of
the amount of his payroll. When a
strike. occurs a committee will be ap
pointed to investigate all the circum
stances dnd If the cause of the strikers
be found just no Indemnity shall be
paid.
A similar Insurance association, al

have been organized in Germany.
"Both the Austrian and German asso
ciations, R appears," says Consul
Hosefeld, "recognize in principle the
Justness of strikes, which Is, In Ger
many, at least, an Important conces
sion to labor.''

Saw Patrick Holding Saturated

Valet of Dead Millionaire Tells of III
Duplicity, faying Patrick Planned All
the Details and Forced Htm to Obey.
Attempted Suicide at Patrick's Com
mand, Hut Failed.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.--The death of
the wealthy William Marsh Rice at his
Madison avenue apartments on Sept.
23; the attempt of his New York at
torney, Albert T. Patrick, to cash
checks for large amounts which pur
ported to be signed by the millionaire;
the refusal of one bank to cash the
checks drawn on it and the discovery
by the bank officials that Mr. Rice was
lying dead at the time the checks were
presented; the subsequent claim by
Patrick that Mr. Rice had made him
by will the trustee of his estate which
amounts to anywhere from three to
eight millions; the charge of forgery
both as regards the checks and the
will placed against Patrick end Mr.
Rice's valet, Charles F. Jones; the ar
rest, of Patrick and Jones and their
lodgment in Jail have kept the public
interested for over a month In what,
by the developments of yesterday.prom
Ises to become the most celebrated of
the many celebrated crimes which the
courts of this city have been called on
to Investigate. .
The first Incident which led up to
yesterday's climax was the fact dis
closed that Valet Jones had been taken
to the district attorney's office and the
subsequent rumor that he had made a
conefsslon to the authorities. Before
the public had time to learn if the
repoft of a confession was true came
the more stratllng news that during
the silent hours of the night Jones had
in his cell In the Tombs attempted sui
cide by cutting his throat with a pen-
CHARLE8 t. JOXES.
knife given him, he says, by Attorney
Patrick also confined in the Tombs.
That portion of the confession has
to do with Che last moments of Mr.
Rice Is the following given out by the
authorities as coming from Jones:
"Rice said: 'I am very nervous Mr.
Patrick. I wish you wouldn't trouble
me. Please go away.'
Patrick replied: 'I have some salts
here, Mr. Rice, that will cure your ner
vousness.' "He produced a bottle and uncorked
It. The contents smelled to me like
some very strong liniment.
"Then Patrick said to me: 'Get me a
towel and a sponge.' I got him both.
Then Patrick said: 'Jones, you have to
leave.' I left. As I was leaving Pat
rick said: 'I'll remain here until Mr.
Rice gets to sleep.' He closed the
door behind me. .
"I stood in the hall for a few min
utes and soon I heard Mr. Rice laugh.
I thought this was queer so I pushed
open the door. I saw Mr. Rice lying on
his back In bed. The towel that I had
given Patrick was wrapped around the
sponge in a cone-shape. This cone
was lying directly over Mr. Rice's eyes
and nose.
"Patrick was pressing it down with
his right hand. Patrick did not see
me, and, of course, Mr. Rice could not.
After seing what I had seen, I went
and lay down on my bed.
"Mr. Rice grew very sick. Patrick
said to me: 'Go get a doctor.' I went
for one. He pronounced Mr. Rice
dead."
Attorney Patrick denies having fur
nishing Jones the penknife and he also
denies the statements In the confes
sion. Jones, after his suicidal attempt, was
taken to Bellevue hospital, hastily sum
moned physicians having just been in
time to save him from death through
loss of blood. Last night he was slight
ly better and the chances are that in
a few days he will again be placed in
the Tombs.
