But the opinion Is unanimous that, In spite of the defects and the limitations ol' Mr. Rhodes' forceful character, few men have more profoundly Impressed the imagination of their contemporaries or played a larger part lu the world's affairs and that the-empire is poorer by his premature death.

What disposition \Vill be made of Charles R Jones, the former valet-secretary of Millionaire Itlce, who confessed on the stand that he placed a chloroformed sponge in a cone over Ids sleeping employer's face, no one connected with the district attorney's office would say last night.

Tressed by Mr. Moore to gay that be had been promised absolute immunity, he denied that this was so.
