HE SEEKS CUSTODY
OF HIS CHILDREN.
Sergeant Germann of the New York
Police Brings Habeas Corpus
Proceedings in This State.

even the childrel's father would agree
they were not liable 20 harm there. for
he had left them there for four years.
MIR. Barrows in opposing delay SAID
his client found it very difficult 10 get
away from his duties. Sergt. Germann
was here four months ago and was told
by Mr.. and Mrs. Schaffer that the chill
eren were not in their custody, but IA
the custody of their aunt, Miss Schaf-
fer.
Judge Dubois asked If IL was a fact
that the children had been given into
the custody of their grandfather by
their .ather.
Mr.. Barrows replied that about four
years ago at a New ersey summer re-
sort one of the petitioners children fell
into the ocean and its mother jumped
into the water TO save the child, but
was herself drowned. Owing TO the un-
settled condition of things arising from
the sad affair the children were left in
he-eustody- Of their grandparents. Mr.
Barrows said the father of the chill
dren had always contributed TO their
support, but now having married Sec
ond time and having home he de-
sired his boy and girl. Counsel urged
that a delay of two days would be suf-
ficent.
Col Arnold said he must return to
his summer home on Prudence Island
tonight and he might have 10 go To
New York to investigate the case. II
would be impossible to get ready inside
of a week.
Judge Dubois thought that under all
the circumstances Col. Arnold was en-
titled to a weeks delay, 80 the hearing
went over.

A Stranger TO Treason.

NJ Demange asked General Roget his
opinion of Major Esterhazy. II have
an absolute conviction" replied General
Roget. amid cries of OH" from the
audience, " that Major Esterhazy Is
stranger TO treason"
General Roget then delivered a short
discourse in reply to the statement OF
NJ. DesFonds I.amothe on Saturday
that the phrase in the bordereau, II am
going to the maneuvres" showed that
Dreyfus could not be the author OF the
borderenu. Gen. Roget maintained
that NJ. Lamothe was wrong.
Captain Dreyfus arose and In clear
voice emphatically insisted that the cir
cular of May II, 1894. announcing that
the probationers would not go 10 the
maneuvres was written in the clearest
language which the court would see II
ii would read. He reiterated that ne
never asked 20 go to the maneuvres,
for he was absolutely convinced that
such a request would not be granted.
M. Deffes, a reporter for the Temps
testified that he saw Major Esterhazy
i'm London and that the latter colt
fessed that he was the author or the
bordereau. The witness added that ne
raised the question of the letters or Ma
dame Boulanc and brought away the
impression that Esterhazy wrote the
"Uhlan' letter.

CarrIere's Reply.

Mai. Carriere replied that he did not
think the government could ask an
other government for the restoration
of documents. He suggested that the
defense should obtain and submit the
papers semi officially to the court. he
saw no objection 10 hearing Col.
Schwartzkoppen and Signor PaniZzardi
If they consented TO come.
NJ Pameologue said that while NJ.
Labori's request appeared quite logical
and just, there were diplomatic consid-
eratfons which made ii inadmissable
for the government 70 take such initi-
ative as was proposed by counsel for
the defense.
Col. Jouaust said the court would de-
eide the matter later. and meanwhile
proceeded with the taking Of evidence.
The first witness who was called to
the bar today was the reporter, Bas-
sett, who the Matin sent TO London to
interview Mai. Count Ferdinand Wal
sin Esterhazy. He deposed that Ester
hazy confessed 10 him that he wrote
the bordereeu under orders from Col.
Sandherr, who was then chief of the Sc
cret intelligence bureau. The order. Es-
terhazy said. was to catch the traitor
at the headquarters of the general staff
whom Esterhazy afterwards said was
Capt. Dreyfus.
Mai. Carriere here burst out with an
extraordinary protest against Maj. Es-
terhazy's insnuations against Col.
Sandherr.
II protest" he cried. 'in the name
and memory OF Col. Sandherr against
the insnuations introduced against
him"
M. Labori. however, ignored this pro-
test, which he styled ridiculous pre-
tension" ("

Roget Reads a Letter.

General Roget then read the one Es-
terhazy letter which he admitted hav-
ing opened. In this letter Major Ester
hazy said he could not prove tie ex-
istence OF the alleged syndicate organ

complained that the general STAFF had

Letters From Esiarhazy.

M. Labori then called upon Gen. Ro-
get to testify regarding letters he had
received from Maj. Esterhazy since
opening of this hearing. Gen. Roget
today looked the ghost of his former
assertive self. His face was careworn
and showed little OF that fighting spirit
which first characterized his appear
ance upon the stage. He replied that
he only opened one letter from Maj. Es-
terhazy. which he had forwarded TO
Col. Jouaust. Gen. Roget added that
he had declined 10 receive other letters.
NJ. Labori then called Col. Jouaust
10 have the letters read. Col. Jouaust
az first declined. but NJ. Labori insisted
SO firmly that Col. Jouaust. after
wrangling a while. gave way and con-
sented that the letters should be read
later. Col. Jouaust explained that ne
opposed the reading OF the letters be-
cause they only contained personal at
tacks upon various parties and would
only lead To- a prolongation Of the trial

WAVING A MARINE RULE.
Government IntercessiOn for a Ship
Under Time Charter.


NORFOLK, Va, Sept 15.-The Norwe-
gian steamer Hebe, Captain Petersen,
which arrived here yesterday from New
Castle England, via Delaware Breakwater,
and is loading a cargo here for. San Juan
Porto Rico. was at first refused clearance
papers by Collector of Customs Banks.
The collector acted under ruling of o. l..
Spaulding, Acting Secretary of the Treas
ury, in answer to the request OF the COL
lector at Boston.
This ruling, which appears In Treasury
Decisions, section 81, 1873, is to the effect
that foreign vessels leaving American ports
are not allowed to enter European ports
while carrying freight or passengers. The
ruling is interpreted here to mean that it
is sought to build up the American mer-
chant marine by forcing the carriage OF
our products in vessels of American regis
try. The collectors enforcement of the
rule embarrassed the Government, since
the Hebe is under time charter to the Gov
ernment to take a cargo of coal to San
Juan. The Secretary of War; after much
telegraphing. decided, at the request OF the
Treasury officials, TO waive the enforce
ment of the Porto Rican regulation in this
instance, whereupon the Secretary cf the
Navy authorized the clearance of the Hebe.
She cleared last night. The Government,
1t will be observed, was forced to usurp
a privilege which ii denies TO individuals.
