RAIN DRENCHES
HILLS OF ESOPUS

ESOPUS. \. Y, Aug 10.-The worst
rainstorm that has prevailed here this
summer marked the advent Of the noti-
fication morning. The streets of the VII
lage were deluged before daylight, ana
from the top of the hills upon which
stands Rosemont villa water poured
down in torrents. At II o'clock the -ain
still fell steadily, thwarting the success
of the function.
Judge Parker was keenly disappointed
at the outlook when ne arose at 6
o'clock this morning. and walked GIN
gerly down the muddy sicpe from Rose
mont TO the waterside where he .akeS
his bath. He had hoped to have day
of sunshine. and was the more disap-
pointed because there was every pros
pect of fair weather when he went
TO bed last night.
The few guests ne had invited to Wit
ness the ceremony expressed deep re-
gret. whereupon the nominee turned con-
sOler and laughlngly assured his friends
that the gods chasten those they love.
The judge entertained only FIVE rela-
tives and close friends over night, ana

were expected today. His guests are

BRILLIANT CAREER OF
FRENCH STATESMAN

Pierre Marie Ernest waldeck- -Rous-
seau served his country long and faith
fully. From the time he was thirty
three years of age until his death he
was more or less intimately connected
with the politics of his nation His
greatest service, however. was given
during his holding of the office Of pre-
mier for three years, from June, 1899. till
June, 1902. He had most difficult time.
but acquitted himself with distinguished
honor. His cabinet was composed of
representatives Of almost every political
party and was termed a cabinet of Re
publican defense" His resignation fol-
lowed the general election Of 1902, when.
10 use his own phrase, he considered
his mission ended"
His Distinguished Ancestry.
The former premier was born at
Nantes on December 3 1916. His father
was a man distinguished for his legal
ability and a most extensive practice.
Pierre began the study Of law at St
Nazaire, where he practiced for a num-
Der OF years after his graduation. Leav-
ing St. Nazaire. he went to RenneS
where he made his entrance into poll
tics In 1879. He made the reform Of the
judiciary his pet work. and through his
advocacy of this reform was brought
into the ranks of the younger Repub-
licans. who were beginning 10 push out
the old officehoiders, who owed their
places principally 70 the emperor.
Member of Gambetta's Cabinet.
In August. 1881. though but thirty-five
years Of age, he was taken into Gam
bettas cabinet as minister of the in
terror. This ministry lasted for a year
only. and Waldeck- Rousseau had no
chance to show Of what material he
was made But the first step on the
political ladder having been taken, the
young Republican pushed himself for
ward. until. in 1888 he was the recoR-
nized head Of his party. and was accord
ingly rendered the portfolio of premier.

We'll Known in Washington.

Mr. Roessle had a wide acquaintance
in Washington. New York. and in Eu-

TO be about 1900. 600. most of which is
in apartment houses in New York and
real estate IN Washington. 1t is said
his father once owned a great deal OF
property in France. but. for some rea-
son. this was confiscated when the
elder Roessle came to America TO live.

LONDON. Aug. 1O.-The corre-
3 spondent Of the Reuter- Telegram
Company with General Kurokfs
force sends a dispatch via Fusan.
reporting the Russian attack on Ku-
rold's right. The dispatch, which is
very disjointed, reads as follows:
Heavy firing on our right confirms
the reports that a Russian large force
is attacking there.
SHORT OF RATIONS.
Russian prisoners state that the
Russian army is sometimes short OF
ratiOns for two days at a time.
The season of rain has been fol-
lowed by fortnight Of severe heat
The Japanese losses up 20 August
10 were $50 killed and wounded.
This statement of losses evidently
refers TO Kurokfs army alone.

ceived by the foreign Office states that
General Kuropatkin viii not abandon

Star Chamber Methods
viii Now Be Aban-
doned.
VICTORY FOR SINCLAIR
Reducing Collateral and
"Nolle ProseqIi" No Long
er Shield Lawbreaker.

No more star chamber methods in the
District branch Of the Police Court.
Put stop at once to the custom of
reducing collateral on the sole autho-f-
" of the prosecutor, after consultation
with attorneys in a private office.
Exercise the right to mol. pros. spar-
ingly, and report to the District Com
missioners in each case all the reasons
for not prosecuting cases before the
court.
This is the program which will hen -
forward govern the conduct Of affairs
at the Police Court. according to a mo-
ton made before the Board of District
commissioners today by Commissioner
Macfarland. in which Assistant Corpo--
Atlon counsel A. Leftwich Sinclair, tenn
porarily Prosecuting Attorney before the
Pohce Court, during the summer vaca-
uon or James L. Pugh jr.. is highly
commended for the recent stand he has
taken in discOntinuing the practice OF
employing star chamber methods In the
prosecution Of his Police Court business.
Insist on a Change.
THE Commissioners" said Mr. Mac
farland today to Times reporter. have
been considering the way in which cases
have been treated in the Office of the
Prosecuting Attorney for the District at
the Police Court, and a change in the
practice will result
have taken especial interest in this
matter, have made inquiries as to the
law and the facts from those familiar
with subject. and am satisfied that the
practice which has obtained for a long
time Of settling cases out of court and
of rs ucing collateral, imposed under the
direction of the Police Court at the po-
lice stations. is not justifable in law
and is wrong in Itself.
i approve the treatment of this mat
ter which has been given by Second AS
sistant Counsel Sinclair during his tenn
porary service as prosecutor for the Dis
trict of not reducing collateral already
Imposed and OF bringing all cases before
the court except those in which, upon
examination Of the evidence presented
for the District, he felt convinced the
District did not have a prima facie
case and so was compelled to enter a
Golle prosequi."

Victory for Sinclair.

According to Commissioner Macfar-
lands motion. Mr.. Sinclair and the per-
manent prosecutor before the Police
Court will be instructed to act as Mr..
Sinclair has cOntended all along is the
only proper way. The position OF the
Commissioner, which will. without
doubt. be indorsed by the other Com
missiOners. Is A sweeping victory for
Sinclair. who has succeeded in work
ing such a reform inside of a week
The prosecutor will be directed TO take
into court for trial every case except
where, on the Districts evidence and
without hearing the other side. he is
satisfied that It is absolutely necessary
70 enter "A nolle prosequi, because a
prima facie case IS lacking. This is the
law on the matter.
When a nOlIe prosequi shall be en-
tered, the prosecutor must report the
case. with the reasons why he did not
take II into court. TO the Corporation
Counsel. who will keep a record for the
enlightenment Of the District Commis-
SiOners.

Reduction of Collateral.

The prosecutor viii also be instructed
not to reduce the collateral imposed at
police stations, which is done according
to a schedule furnished the Police De-
partment by the Police Court, the Po-
lice Department acting as the agent of
the court for this purpose. as a matter
of convenience. The exaction of collate-
raj is. Ike the imposition of the fine,
a matter for the court or its agent, and
not for the prosecutor.
The Commissioners believe that the
prosecutor should not perform any Of
the functions Of the court but should
confine himself to the duties Of his Of
fee.
From these instructions. il is apparent
the system employed by Attorney Pugh
in the past In the discharge of business
before the court Is not approved in the
slightest degree. II is also evident that
SinClairS contention for a reform Is ad-
mitted 70 be well founded and justifiable
His arguments are conceded to in every
detail, and the reforms he advocated are

Just what the result will be for Pugh

officials who have followed the matter
closely are Of the opinion that he will

which ends next Monday. If the explain
