To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
read with much pleasure-except for the
poor gas furnished by our Washington city
gas company the special letters Of your
correspondents from various parts Of the
world. The Star Is certainly doing a great
service In furnishing the same to its large
constituency. Especially attractive and in
structive are the letters of Mr.. William E.
Curtis from the south of Europe OF these,
no one has been to me more interesting
than that in your issue of Thursday, De-
cember "a, on the Roman Forum.
May I ask. however, has not Mr.. Curtis
made a "slip"-as the most accomplished
scholars will now and then do-near the
close of that letter. He says: AT one
corner of the Forum Is the Mammertine
prison. where Peter and Paul were con-
fined and where the angel came and de-
Iivered them"
There is authority for saying that Peter
and some of his Composites were cast into
that common prison at Jerusalem and that
the angel of the Lord by night opened the
prison doors and brought them forth, bid
ding them go. stand and speak In the
temple all the words OF this life'' (Acts s:
lS and 19). Also. for saying that when
Herod Agrippa had cast Peter into prison
with intent to kill him. as he had killed
James. the brother of John. with the
sword" the angel Of the Lord came to him
las he lay sleeping. chained to two soldiers.
and smote him on the side. saying: Rise
up quickly" 50 that the two chains. falling
from his hands. he bound on his sandals,
cast his garment about him and followed
the angel to the outside and made his way
to the little company OF Christians who
were making supplication to God for him
(Acts II: Z. ete). Once more we read that
when Paul and Silas. on Pauls second mis-
sionary tour. had come to Philippi In
Macedonia and driven from the damsel the
spirit Of divination" that possessed her,
and had been scourged and then cast into
the inner prison by the magistrates while
singing at midnight Praises Unto God, .
there came an earthquake loosing their
bonds. 30 that deiiverancs was given them
by the repenfant jailor (Acts 10: Is, etc. }.

cR1T1c1sE 1owA's GOVERNOR.
His Construction Of Desertion Law
Causes Unfavorable Comment.

A dispatch from Philadelphia says:
The action Of Gov. Cummins of Iowa In
refusing to extradite Fred L. Shivers who
is wanted in Camden for wife desertion, on
the ground that the desertion law Of New
Jersey is defective. has called forth con-
siderable comment -,e{
Prosecutor Lloyd has declared that If
the contention Of Gov. Cummins is right
a man can commit all the crimes in the
decalogue and not be guilty of any offense.
THE statute In this state was passed
for the protection OF defenseless women
and children against desertion by hus-
bands" said the prosecutor. Il think the
governor Of Iowa has gone out Of his way
to strike a blow at one of the most bene-
flcial pieces of legislation ever enacted in

PRESIDENTS ATTITUDE
REGARDING SIR THOMAS
Roosevelt Said Not to be Re-
sponsible tor Snub to Fa-
nous Yachtsman

Oyster Bay. n. Y. Sept 14.-An un-
pleasant episode. with phase Of inter-
national interest. has been the out
growth Of a dinner to be given next
Friday night by the Seawanhaka Yacht
club. Through q series of misappre-
tensions on the part OF some members
OF the club an apparent slight has been
put upon Sir Thomas Upton and Presi-
dent Roosevelt has been placed in the
attitude Of being discourteous to the
British yachtsman.
The yacht club has a spacious home
on Center Island in Oyster Bay. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is an active member Of
the club, as are many of the best known
yachtsmen of the east.
After declining to attend the dinner,
because he had refused several similar
invitations. President Roosevelt was
prevailed upon to accept with the un-
derstanding that it was to be neigh
borly affair" and not a formal function
attended by guests outside the club.
When the president learned that Sir
Thomas Upton and members of his
party we're to be guests he felt he would
be obliged to decline and so notified the
committee.
Secretary F. G. Stewart, of the yacht
club, feels inclined TO assume part Of
the blame for the unpleasantness
which developed. He said that at the
New York Yacht club a few nights ago
he asked Sir Thomas Upton II he had
an engagement for the 18th inst. Be-
ing assured that he had not Mr.. Stew
art then requested Sir Thomas to hold
that date open in order that he might
attend the Seawanhaka dinner. His in
vitation to Sir Thomas was extended
as a member and not on behalf of the
club. He was asked if Secretary Loeb
had presented as one of the conditions
of the presidents acceptance Of the in
vitation that Sir Thomas should not be
present "Oh no" he replied. mot at
all; not at all"
He said that President Roosevelt was
to be the only guest of honor at the
dinner and that there had been no
thought OF having any other. The invi-
tations to Sir Thomas and party has
5oen recalled.
