Mr.. Frank Hume. the wholesale grocer, and

More definite details Of his arrest were
received here today. The prisoner was
taken into custody in San Francisco by De-
teetives Whitaker and Mcmahon, who
found him at the Occidental Hotel, where
he registered under his own name. Tais
fact seems to make it certain that his wife,
a bride Of about two weeks, knew nothing
of his alleged wrong uoings. She Is at the
Occidental Hotel and SHOWS plainly the
effects Of her trouble.
The bride knew nothing of her husband &

CERTIFICATES OF MERIT
Can Be Awarded Only to Those in the
Service

An opinion has been rendered by Attor-
ney General Knox which will have far
reaching effect upon medals of honor and
certificates of merit. 1t sustains an opin-
ion of former Attorney General Devens,
who held that certificate of merit could
not be granted to a man who was no
longer in the service of the United States
1t did not apply to men who have been rec
commended for such certificates prior to the
time they left the service. The opinion of
Gen. Devens has been practically ignored
for many years. and certificates of merit
have been issued up to the present time to
men who served in the civil war. The
latest opinion will put an end to such GER
tificates, not only for the civil war. but
also for the Spanish war. and, in most in
stances, for service in the Philippines, es-
pecialIy when performed by volunteers. 1t
is probable that opinion will be asked
as to whether the ruling regarding certifi-
Gates of merit shall not apply to medals Of
honor.
