Forger Got Valuable Securities Tun nels Under North River Raybrook Consumption Hospital Supplies Foi Indians Gomez Withdraws From Cuban Election Advance In Oil. Six hundred and fifty laborers from Martinique, brought to Colon last Friday on the French steamship Versailles under contract to work oa the canul, refused to disembark or to submit to vaccination, which is im perative under the American sanitary regulations. Saturday morning, however, GOO of them were with difficulty persuaded to land and these were sent to points along the line ot the canal. One hun dred and fifty remained on board and declined to leave the ship under any consideration. Those were forcibly ejected from the vessel -Sunday afternoon by Panamnn and Canal Zone police, but not until nearly every one of them had been clubbed and several were bleeding from bad wounds. All of Saturday and Sunday the Versailles was guarded by Pananian policemen. Seeing that resistance was useless, the men yielded, came ashore and be gan to eat the food which had been placed on the dock In sight of them for several hours. Many of them had not eaten since Saturday. At 5 o'clock all the laborers, who were in a pitiable condition, were placed on board a train which left for Corozal, where they will be put to work.

TO SAVE PATRICK'S LIFE Old and New Points Raised by Former Senator Hill. Opposing Brief Characterizes Senator Hill's Comment on Judge Gray as Being Such as No Degree of Eml nence In Counsel Could Render Respectable. Albany, Oct. 3 The case of Albert T. Patrick, who since March 20, 1902, has been under conviction of the mur der of the aged millionaire, William Marsh Rice In New York city in 190Q, came again before the court ot ap peals yesterday afternoon in an as pect as remarkable as any of the pre vious phases of this case, which throughout has been one of the most extraordinary In the criminal history of this state. Patrick's counsel, former United States Senator David B. Hill, presented a brief In support of his motion for a reargumcnt of the case, which was decided against Patrick by the court last June by a vote ot 4 to 3. Judge Gray's Part In Judgment. In the course of this brief he points out that a son of Judge Clinton Gray, one of the judges of the court ot ap peals and one of those who voted against the reversal of Patrick's con viction, was an assistant district at torney of New York county and parti cipated in the prosecution of Patrick. The opposing brief of District Attor ney Jerome, drawn it is said by the late ex-Justice Judson S. Landon a short time before his recent death and filed by Assistant District Attornoy Howard Gans, characterizes Senator Hill's comment upon Judge Gray's participation in the judgment of the court as being such as "no degree of eminence In counsel could render re spectable." "The suggestion that Judge Gray vio lated the proprieties In taking part la this case is as contemptible as it Ij Impudent," the district attorney's brief deelares. The legal history of Patrick's case may be summarized as follows: Arrested Oct. 4, 1900; trial began Jan. 20, 1902; convicted March 26, 1902; put in death house at Sing Sing April 2, 1902; appeal for new trial Feb. 10, 1903; petition for new trial denied by the trial court March 3, 1903; arg ument on appeal to court of appeals postponed for second time May 20, 1904; argument for reopening case Feb. 12, 1905; arguments for new trial March 16, 1905; court refuses to grant new trial, affirms conviction June 9, 1905; refuses stay of execution -June 14, 1905; execution set for Aug. 7, June 16, 1905; motion for reargument and stay of execution granted July 24, 1905; renewal of motion for re argument Oct. 2, 1905. Jerome's Opposing Brief. The brief filed for District Attorney Jerome In opposition to the motion for a reargument thus criticises the effort to secure a reargument: "It Is an at tempt to reopen the case founded upon a rehash of all that was urged upon the argument and in the briefs and coupled with motion papers which, while conceding that practically all the points urged had been discussed in opinions written by members of the court, undertakes to criticise, In terms which, were counsel less eminent, might well be regarded as Insolent, those of the court's deliberate con clusions which the distinguished coun sel is constrained to criticise, and as sails the judicial conduct of a mem ber of this court in a manner which no degree of eminence In counsel could render respectable. "This diatribe covers two volumes aggregating 164 printed pages and enumerates under 20 separate heads the points which it is alleged the court considered but was unable to grasp, devotes one head to a merltless point which had not previously been deemed worthy of discussion, one to the at tack on tho learned Judge who wrote the prevailing opinion and two to a laudation of the members of tho court who dissented, conceived in a spirit which renders It scarcely less objoc tlonable than the attack upon their as sociates." The brief goes specifically Into a re view of the points raised by Senator Hill, denying that they constitute a ground for the reargument of the case. Referring to the point of Senator Hill that the son of Judge Gray was an as sistant district attorney In the case the brief states: "The sugegstlon that Judge Gray violated the proprieties In taking part In this case la as contemp tible as It Is Impudent." Tho brief concludes: "The opinions make clear that the defendant's guilt was established beyond tho shadow of V doubt; that ho had a fair und Impar tial trial and that he had the careful and painstaking hearing and consider ation of his appeal which this court always accords, and hence it is respect fully submitted that, the motion for a leargunient should be denied." Cornerstone of McKlnley Monument. Canton, O., Oct. 3. At tho conclus ion of a meeting of the executive com mittee of the McKlnley National Me morial association It was announced that the cornerstone of the monument wi.ll be laid Nov. 16, at 11 o'clock a. m., by Justice W. R. Day, president of the association. The trustees of tho association are expected to be present but there will bo no formal demonstra tion. That will be reserved until the dedication of tho monument when President Roosevolt and other noted men are expected to bu present and jartlclpate in the program. BOOTH MAM TRIAL OPENED.' Alleged Confederate of Whlteman In Fidelity Company Swindle, Buffalo, Oct. 3-Joseph Boothman, alleged confederate of Alonzo J. White man In the swindling of the Fidelity Trust company, was placed on trial in criminal term of supreme court under one of the half dozen Indictments re ported against him more than a year ago. The Indictment under which Booth man was placed on trial, charges grand larceny in the second degree. It is almost Identical with the Indict ment under which Whlteman was last placed on trial. It charges Boothman with complicity in the theft of $a0 from the Fidelity Trust company on July 6, 1904. - On that day a check for $780 was drawn against the "Hubbard" account In the Fidelity bank. The check was signed by F. H. Hubbard and was payable to the order of one H. R. Thomas, who is said to be Boothman. The check was handed to John W. Flynn, the horseman, and he' got the cash on the check. Flynn.has already testified that when he got the cash on this check he gave it to Boothman, and Boothman has sworn twice that he gave the money to Whlteman. Tha account drawn against was the $9,000 account formed by the deposit of a check raised from $51 to $9,000. Boothman, nattily dressed and de bonair as ever, was early in court, and, for the first time since the White man case became of any Importance, had a place In the prisoners' dock. He chatted earnestly with his counsel, William Armstrong. Charles A. Dolson and E. W. Mcln tyre, counsel for Whlteman, were on hand and conferred earnestly with Mr. Armstrong. It was evident from this that for the first time since the arrest of Whlteman he and Boothman Joined forces. Thomas Kennedy, serving time In Auburn prison on his plea of guilty In connection with a bank swindling transaction, and who Is alleged to have been a member of the Knox-Whlteman gang, will be one of the witnesses for the defense. An orderhas been se cured from Justice Kcneflck upon which Kennedy will be brought here. Poughkeepsle and Kingston. Albany, Oct. 3.

Derogatory Mottoes Are Pajnte Every, .where In Philadelphia. Philadelphia, Oct. 2. Again there li civil wax in Philadelphia. As scon as it was ' Mght Saturday morning 400 men with paint pots and ladders started from a point In the crater of the city. They had been called to tha rendezvous by a gang chletaln and their leader had a map of Philadel phia, on which were certain mystic dots. To each ot these dots the painters went. At once, from Germantown to the Neck and from the Delaware out' to the county line, the signs began to appear. Some read: "Mayor Weaver is a ehrewd SQheraer Dr. Parkhurst;" "Vote the full Republican tlokete" Others road, "I know how I was eleot ed district attorney and am grateful Mayor Weaver;" "Can Philadelphia support a coward and a traitor?" At once the police began to get busy. They started In to arrest the painters who had not yet finished. At once every one ot the painters so arrested appeared with a lawyer and swore out warrants for the police who had arrested them. Others finished the signs. One of them went up on the side of a house owned by the may or's brother-in-law, who promptly had fits. The signs are everywhere on bill boards, on the sides of houses and on fences. The most annoying to the re formers Is the reference to the dis trict attorney's office. It says: "He was elected by fraud on phantom votes." HUNTING SKUNKS PROFITABLE. Sometimes a Man With a Dog Can Make $15 In a Night. Allentown, Oct. 2. When the Sep tember moon is ut the full Is the time the young men and boys of tho lower end of the county, as well as those living along the base of the Blue mountains, are reaping a harvest of skunks' skins, which sell all the way from $2,25 to $3 a pelt, and then there are not enough to supply tfhe demand. This Is the time of the year when skunks are more nocturnally active than nt any other. They also become peculiarly tame, so much so that they will come bounding out of a field or woods and trot alongside a pedestrian for several mllos, to the Intense dis gust of the wayfarer so honored. This tamcness and playfulness, how ever, just now Is costing them doar. With a good dog who can spot them, all thot Is necessary Is a hardwood club, a sure aim and a brave nose. Some hunters make as high as $15 a night. The pelt of the dark col ored skunk Is the more valuable. This animal li. however, not only hunt ed for its skin. A fat skunk and they are all fat Just now holds more than a quart of oil, and this is worth about $4 a gallon wholesale. The oil in deemed Invaluable on account ot its merit In curing rheumatism.
