NO WARRANT FOR ROBERTS
Chief Hazen Saws Ii All Arose from
misunderstanding.
They Thought the Engraver Had surrepti-
tiously Obtained Proof Copy
Of the Diploma.

Col. w. P. Hazen, Chief of the Secret
porter last night in regard to the seizure of
the plate Mr.. w. F. Roberts, the engraver,
was preparing for the Department Of State
He said there had been good deal of mis-
understanding about the matter from be-
ginning to end. There never was a warrant
issued for Mr. Roberts
When IT was learned that he had proof
copy of the diploma issued for the Column
bian Exposition a detective was sent to
take possession oft. 1t was not then known
that Mr.. Roberts had a contract with the
State Department The Secretary of the
Treasury has been very st rict in the case of
the diplomas, because If copies of them get
abroad it will be possible 1OT dishonoraDle
persons to use them TO set up pretense of
having received an award at the Exposi-
ton and this greatly lessons the value to the
genuine holders.
A number of copies got out last July and
the Secret Service Bureau lad much diff
ficulty at that time in Lunting them up and
having them returned TO the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing. So far as known
they Were in use at that time only TO secure
smaller fac-similes to be used as advertise
ment and all advertising suppressed
When it was learned that Mr. Roberts
was working from a proof copy OF the
diploma it was supposed another lad got
out by underhanded means, and a detective
was sent To secure it 1t was on Friday last,
a legal holiday, and when MIR. Roberts
said that he had obtained the copy srom the
State Department it was rot possible to
verify his statement promptly because no.
body was at the department who could
speak with authority as to what had been
done This gave rise to tie annoying delay.
IL is supposed the impression tnaG there
was a warrant for Mr.. Roberts arose
from the detectives manner in ap-
preaching him. Since the other copies
had been taken i'll July and warning
given that no more must go out the de
tective naturally felt sure that the copy
had been obtained in some dishonorable
manner
Chief Hazen said the misunderstanding
between the department and Mr.. Roberts
would probably be adjusted without diff
ficulty to-day and Mr.. Roberts allowed
to finish his engraving and complete his
contract. II is understood that il viii
not be necessary for him To have the proof
copy of the diploma any further in order to
do this.

form were Mrs. L. NJ. N. Stevens. OF Maine,
the first vice president-at-large and the State
president for Maine of the Woman's Chris

Nichols. of Indiana, one Of the superintend-
ents of the Worlds ". C. T. T.; ex-Gov. and
ex-Congressman Sidney Perham of Maine;
Hon. Martin n. Johnson, of North Dakota.
and Rev. T. d. Power the pastor of the
church, and secretary Of the Congressio nal
Society,"
Mr.. Dingley. in assuming the duties of
presiding officer. gave brief sketch of the
society.
He said that it was the oldest temperance
society now in the United States and prob
ably in the world Looking back to his boy
hood days the growth of that movement
seemed wonderful.
Rev. Mr.. Power then presented his report
as secretary. The next speaker was ex-GOv.
Perham, who was n member of Congress
thirty years ago, and who was the first seere-
tary OF the society after its organization.
He praised highly the work OF women FOR
temperance, and said that. while they started
in as e-c"forcement for the men. they had
| now gone al of the old guard.
| The history of prohibition in Maine was
| interestingly reviewed by Mrs. l.. NJ. n.
Stevens. She spoke OF the futile attempts
recently made in that State TO repeal the pro-
| hibrtory laws, and said that prohibition there
| does prohibit. In some of the larger cities
| the law is not enforced as it should he. but
in the greater part of the State prohibition
! Is enforced as strictly as any law on the
| statute books. Her remarks were loudly
| applauded

| lowed with short appeal for total abstinence
The address OF Mrs. Josephine R. Nichols

| ing the evils produced by unlimited immi-
! grafton.
The closing remarks were made by Con-
| gresham Martin n. Johnson, of Indiana,

TRYING TO BOOM DIVORCE.
A South Dakota Lawyer Sends Seductive
Circular to His New York Brethren.

South Dakota Lawyer Sends Seductive
Circular to His New York Brethren.
[From the New York World
The South Dakota divorce colony must be
decreasing or else the lawyers there are not
content with their business, because within a
few days reputable lawyers in this city have
received circulars from Sioux Falls legal
light, the object of which is to promote the
divorce business.
The circular throws good deal of light
upon this South Dakota divorce business
which will be someth .ng Of revelation 10
the conservative lawyers of this part of the
world.
''The statutes of Dakota are as liberal as
any other State in the Union, requiring but
six months residence in the State before
commencing action says the Sioux Falls
LAWYER in his circular. This. with other
causes, Is the reason why so many come here
to seek freedom by procuring an absolute
divorce"
1t is set forth that divorces may be granted
for any one of five causes-extreme cruelty
wiliul desertion, wilful neglect and habitual
intemperanee. besides the one recognized in
New York State. When the defendant is a
nonresident. and there are mighty few of the
defendants who are not non-residents the
service can be by publication or by personal
service.
After such publication the defendant has
thirty days in which to answer or demur. II
he or she does not appear at the end of that
time the divorce is granted upon the testi-
mony of the plaintiff and one witness to cor
roborate his or her testimony. This testi-
mony can be taken by deposition of the wit
ness who lives in another State but the
plaintiff must be present in person and testify.
! These sections are quoted
Extreme cruelty is the infiietion of griev-
| Gus bodily injury or grievous mental suffer-
| ing upon the other by one party TO the mar

| "Wilful desertion is the voluntary separa-
| tion of one of the married parties
from the other with intent to desert. When
| one party is induced by the stratagen or
| fraud OF the otner party to leave the family
dwelling place or to be absent and during
such absence the offending party departs
with intent TO desert the other, it is desertion
| by the party committing the stratagem or
| fraud and not by the other.
'Wilful neglect is the neglect Of the hus-
| band to provide for his wife the common
necessaries OF life. he having ability to do so
or il is the failure TO do so by reason of idle
ness, profigacy, or dissipation.
"Habitual intemperanee is that degree o.
intemperance from the use of intoxicating
drinks which disqualifles the person grea

SEEING THE PASSION PLAY,
Banker Du Bois Exhibits the Oberammer
gan Spectacle at Concordia Church.

gan spectacle at tOncOrdIa ChuTch.
Mr.. Charles L. Dubois, the banker of
this city, lecturcd last night at the Con-
cordia Evangelical Church, corner of
Twentieth and d streets northwest, Rev, E.
Drewitz, pastor, on the Passion Play"
as rendered at 0berammergau. A large
audience listened to an interesting expla-
nation of the play, which was Illustrated by
more than fifty pictures, thrown by means
at stereopticon upon large canvass by
DR.. William P Herbst
Preliminary to the display Of the pictures
Mr.. Du Bois said in giving q history of the
play, that about 800 years ago a terrible
plague prevailed at Obarammergau, and the
villagers died at the rate of twenty u thirty
a day. The pious people ofthe place prayed
To Heaven that the progress sof the disease
might BE- stayed, but all their prayers seem
ed TO avail nothing. At last some one Sug-
gested that the villagers should assemble
in public meeting, and there promise God
that if He would take the plague from them
they would once in ten years for period of
SIX months re-enact the leading events con-
nected with the life of Christ during His
ministry and connected with His death.
| Tradition recounts that Immediately the
| plague ceased, and no more deaths from
that cause occurred.
In reverence of the memory of their an
| cestors, the descendants of those who made
| the solemn vow above mentioned have
ever since. at an interval of ten years,
given the Passion Play" except in 1870,
when the Franco-P Prussian war was in
progress, and many OF the male actors
were absent in the German army. The
| play was, however, given during he fol-
| lowing year as q mark of gratitude to God
| foi the unification of Germany. and was re-
| peated in 1880 and 1890, III accordance
| with the vow made by those who created
| the play during the sixteenth century. The
| pictures were of high order of merit. and
| were said to be fully equal to any on the
| same subject that have ever been eXhlb
! tied in Washington or elsewhere.
After all the pictures illustrative Of the
'T assion Play had been shown, Mr. Du
Bois had DIR. Herbst exhibit some very fIe
views OF castles erected by Ludwig II ot
| Bavaria in the heart of the Alps and neal
0berammergau, at a cost of many millions
OF dollars, but which during the lifetime Of
that monarch the public were not per
mitted to see. After Lndwigs death
however. the Bavarian government decided
that there was no good reason why tht
