MARRIAGE IN PLACE OF MONEY
Decided Legal Cons Iteration in Con-
tract - Request of Property to
Prospective Husband Valid.

VANCOUVER, April 22-That
marriage is a legal c"nzt Lion. in
lieu of money, in binding :, r-.i.,...-.
was the decision Of the full court ..
British Columbia supreme judges. The
decision carried With it the DISPOSE
ton of an estate valued at 100000.
The case is an appeal from a judg-
ment of the chief justice in a trial OF
RaZzer VS.. Campbell at Victoria, B.
G. The history of the case is briefly
as follows:
In September, 1901, a widow of Vic
tOria, who afterwards became Mrs.
Louis H. Razer. was so DESTROYS Of
agreed. a few days before the date
fixed for the wedding, to bequeath all
her real and personal property to him.
This agreement was signed in the
presence of two witnesses.
\ year after the marriage she died.
In the meantime she made a will leav-
ing her property, worth about 100000
to a Mrs. Campbell, also of Victoria.
and the Roman Catholic church, be-
queathing only 500 to her husband.
Razzer sold his claim to ]. Pember-
ton, of Victoria, for $500. Suit was en-
tered against the Pemberton claim.
Razzer died about year ago in Cali
fornia.
Lawyers for the legatee under the
Will did not deny the existence of the
agreement, but argued that it was not
legally binding in view of the fact that
no monetary consideration passed as
4 basis of the transaction.

TRAINED HER WOMEN SPIES
Russia Feminine Diplomatic Corps Or
gained by Government.

The enormous advantage possessed
in Oriental countries. was recognized
twenty years ago by the Russian gov
eminent, which took action to reap
the benfits of the work of a corps of
! feminine diplomatic agents. In the
Orient it is the women alone who can
obtain admission into Moslem or Bud
dhist families and it has been proved
more than once that a woman can OBJ
tain more influence over an oriental
official or statesman than half a dozen
men, trained though they may be in
diplomacy.
SO twenty years ago Russia ar
ranged her first special classes for
training carefully chosen group of
women for the work. They learned
Turkish, Persian, Chinese, Japanese,
and mastered many of the trib%.' liza
lects that they might talk to the peO-
pie in their own tongues. The sue
cess of the plan was such that in 1890
and again in 1898 the government
opened still larger classes in Moscow
as we'll as in st. Petersburg and many
of the members were women doctors
and gOvernesses who We're to accept
positions in the families of the orien-
tai officials.
But the Russian government, clever
and farseeng as it was. made one mis-
take. 1t neglected to take into con-
sideratiOn the republican principles
with which its secret service pupils
were filled. They had been brought up
to believe that reform in the govern
ment can be obtained only through q
great war and they point to France
and the disastrous campaigns of 1870
as an example. Consequently many
of the feminine spies have been doing
all they can to plunge the country
into war that she might be redeemed
The information they have supplied
has been deliberately misleading es-
peCially in Chinese, Korean, Japanese
and Tibetan matters. 1t has even
been proved that in several cases the
misleading documents which the fair
diplOmatists declared We're surrepi-

possession showing that no less than

that the defendants We're released by

The union learned that gambling
was allowed to resume in Seattle I'M
der protection from the prosecuting
attorney last winter. The nature of
that protection was outlined to the
gamblers. If anyone applied to the
prosecuting attorney for a complaint
against any of the gamblers the per-
son complained of was to be notified
by James Callighan, a deputy sheriff
in the office. The party's alleged loss
was to be learned, and if possible it
was to be returned to him. If that
could not be done. some one was to
fix it in the justice court SO that
the case would be dismissed.

VICTIM TESTlFIES BY SIGNS.
MarysviIIe SaIoonkeeps Shakes Fist
in Court at Man Accused
of Crime.

EVERETT, May 22.-Joseph Karl
in his saloon several months ago, was
the principal witness in the superior
court in the case against William
Matson. who is accused of the shoot
ing. Karlson lay for a long time at
the point of death, and now, owing to
the nature of the wound, is unable to
speak intelligently.
When Matson was pointed out to
him and he was asked whether he was
the man who shot him, he rose with
clenched fist and shook it at the pris
oner and made violent efforts to speak.
but could only produce gutteral
sounds He measured off distance
of six feet to show the distance which
separated him from Matson when the
shooting is supposed to have taken
place.
Other witnesses who were in the sa-
loon when the shooting occurred tes
tilted that they were engaged in rough
play when MatsOn rushed into the ad-
joining bedroom. HARRISON followed and
moment later shot was heard.
They rushed in and found karlsOn on
the floor with Matson standing over
him with the revolver in his hand,
which he allowed to be taken from
him without offering any resistance.
The defense claims that the shoot
ing was accidental: an entire lack of
motive on NatsOn's part was alleged,
while testimony was introduced to
show his previous good character.
Matson's story of the ARRAY is that
he and the rest Of the party We're pre-
pairing to chariVari a newly married
couple. and that part of the parapher
MALTA was in his room. He went into
it, pulled out his revolver and was eX-
tracing ball cartridges to put in
blanks when someone grabbed him.
He supposed it was one of his friends
who was continuing his rough house"
play in the bedroom. He tried to
Wrest the gun away when it was acct
dentally discharged. Only then did
he know that the man was KarIson.

Alexander Mckenzie, of North Dako-
ia. who was receiver of the Anvil

of the NOyes judiciary scandals in
1900, and who was sent to jail for con-
tempt of court. is taking a hand in
the fight against the appointment of
Judge Wickersham to succeed himself
in the Third Alaska judicial district.
He had a long talk with the presi-
dent yesterday about him. and Attor-
ney General Knox. The attorney gem
eral has recommended to the presi-
dent that Judge Wickersham be reap
pointed. but such influences have been
brought to bear against the judge that
Mr.. Roosevelt has felt compelled to.
hear what Wickersham's enemies had
to say.
Mr.. Mckenzie and others who are
opposing the judges disappointment
have charged Wickersham With near
ly every crime IN the cdleHuoi, eA'VP1
murder. None of the charges nave
been made in public. however, and the
authors of them are anxious that their
participation in the present compaign
against the judge shall not become
known.
A fight is also being made against
the reappointment of Judge Brown IN
Southeastern Alaska, but by differ
pnt persons.

Aiding Baltimore Fire Sufferers.

1t is perhaps proper fer congress to
aid the sufferers from the Baltimore
fire by putting building materials to
be used In the burned district on the
free list Similar legislation was pass
ed to aid the sufferers from the Chica
go fire in 1871. Two or three inquiries,
however, are suggested by this legisla-
ton:
First.-If the tariff does not increase
the cost of building materials, or, in
other words, ''if the foreigner pays the
tariff tax," as the Republicans declare,
why remove these duties now?
second.-1f the removal Of the tariff
duties on building materials will great
~ relieve the Baltimore fire sufferers,
who for the most part are wealthy
men, why not take off these duties on
all building materials and thus greatly
relieve the rest of the people OF the
country, who for the most part are poo-
and are trying to build for themselve~
as good homes as their meager incomes
will permit?
Is this government Of by and for
the rich and at the expense of the
poor?
