TO REMAIN WITH AUNT.
Case Of Little Isabel Marceron Dis
posed OF.

The Supreme Court OF the District of CO.
lumbia today disposed of the contest over
the custody of little Isabel Marceron. for
the time being. by permitting the child 10
remain with her aunt. Mrs. Mary Regina
Pollen, with whom she has been staying for
the past six years.
Mrs Pollen asked the court to enjoin her
brother Alexius Marceron, father of the
child, from taking any steps to remove
Isabel from her. and an order signed
entoinfng Mr.. Marceron asked during
the tendency of the case. Attorney Gram
del Mackey representing Mr.. Marceron. ex-
planned that testimony will be taken and
ance with the usual procedure in equity
cases.
Counsel added that the order signed to-
day Is of temporary nature only
Mr.. and Mrs. Marceron separated six
years ago and Mr.. Marceron placed Isabel.
then two years of age. in the keeping of
his sister. Mrs. Pollen, under agreement,
she says that she should have the custody
OF the child until the latter attained the age
of twenty-one years. Mr.. and Mrs. Mar
ceron last May adjusted their differences
and recently Mr. Marceron demanded the
child from his sister.
In dsposing of the matter the court to-
day held that the interests of the child
should be considered; that Isabel had been
cared for very we'll by her aunt, and in
view of the fact that the chid's mother
and father had separated and lived apart
for six years. 1t was deemed wise to decide
that the little girl should continue with
Mrs. Pollen.

ISSUED A STATEMENT
MUTUAL RESERVE LIFE MEN
DENY REPORT OF EXAMINER.

NEW YORK. July 2s.-The policyholders
of the Mutual Reserve Life Insurance Com
pany have received statement from the
board of directors of the company which
apparently was made as a public reply to
the report OF the examination by the state
insurance department. which was printed
today.
Chief Insurance Examiner Isaac Wander
poel. In his report. charges the Mutual Re-
serve company with concealment Of judy
ments against the company amounting to
1882. 76I, exaggeration of its surplus by over
s3oO.0O0 and a fixed policy of delay In set
Ting claims.
The statement issued by the company to-
day declares that there is not single fact
to support the allegations of the insurance
department that payments are delayed by
the company. and adds the following figures
to show the financial standing of the COM
pany:
Gross assets: Company. s., S96.973: exam
nation, 81, y79, 1874. Increase, $3.50.
Gross liabilities: Company, 80, 400.10o ex-
animation, So. 40S. 567. Increase. S,S62
The statement adds: The examination
therefore shows excess of gross assets over
gross liabilities of $T4, 1871 greater than
did the company's statement of December
1, 1894.

AFTER ANOTHER PATIENT.
James L. Shaffer in st. Elizabeth's
ASYLUM

Attorneys r. p. Evans and Edwin For
rest who appeared as counsel in the Willis
case, decided last Monday, today filed pc
titon for the writ of habeas corpus in be-
half of James l.. Shaffer. The court d.
rected that the writ issue, returnable at ~
o'clock the morning of the list of August
II is stated in the petition that Shaffer.
whose legal residence Is in Pennsylvania,
has been confined in the Government Hos
pital for the Insane for the past six months
He is sixty years of age. and. it is asserted,
has been examined by two physicians and
pronounced by them to be sane
The court is informed that in 1901 ShaHer
was an inmate of the National Soldiers
Home for Disabled Volunteers at Dayton
Ohio, and without just cause was sent by
the governor of the home to the Govern
Inent Hospital for the Insane here. After
four or five months he says he was re-
turned to the Dayton home by the late Dr.
Richardson. Three years elapsed, when
last January, he was again sent to the
Government Hospital for the Insane, where
he has since been kept in custody.
1t is charged that Superintendent White
unlawfully keeps him in custody In pur-
suance of the pretended authority of let
ter written request from the authorities
of the home at Dayton and without any
other or legal and proper commitment
whatsoever The case Is said TO be on all
tours with the Willis case in which the
court directed the discharge of Wills from
custody.

Another Fraud Order Issued.

The fraud order division of the Post Ofice
Department issued fraud order today ana
revoked one. The concern whose methods
are offensive to the Post Office Department
is variously known Edward F. Morgan,
the Hamilton Bank of Nevada and the
Morgan Prospecting Syndicate. all OF To-
nopa. New. 1t appears from the papers In
the case that Morgan advertised for Co
investors" to send $40 each to the Hamilton
Bank. to be used by the mining syndicate
to defray prospecting expenses. Investiga-
ton developed that no such concern ex-
listed as the Hamilton Bank and the Nor
gan Prospecting Syndicate at Tonopa. and
consequently the scheme was considered
fraudulent.
A fraud order issued April IS, against E.
J. Russell 164 West 10th street, New York
city, has been revoked. on the ground that
the alleged fraudulent scheme has been
discontinued. and all mall received by Rus
sell will be returned to the postmaster at
New York.

however. to have forfeited any right to
such privileges. and after a stay in prison
was banished
The limitations of passports have rare
ly been better displayed than in a cele-
brated international dispute in 1853. A
Hungarian named koszta was banished
from Austria owing to his completely in
went to the United States, and after liy-
ing there for some time commenced pro-
ceedings toward becoming n naturalized
cltlzen. While this was going on affairs
called him to Turkey. and he went with
a United States passport. At Smyrna,
however. he was seized by Austrian
agents. and though the Turkish authori-
ties protested against the act as a yio-
lation OF their sovereignty, Koszta was
put on board an Austrian vessel Tho
commander of the United States warship
st Louis insisted on and enforced the
Hungartan's release and Austria regard
ing this as an offense against her flag
demanded satisfaction Here was all that
was wanting for grave international
complications. but the matter was ended
by kosZta being brought back to the
United States with the reservation of tho
right to Austria to proceed against him
should he at any future time land in Tur-
key.
Vessels. as well as individuals. occa-
sionally need safe-conducts as was the
case in 1893, when the boats CARRYING
mails between France and England were
permitted to pass despite the war be-
tween the two countries. Vessels of dis
covery likewise have been regarded as
exempt from international complications.
In 1I16. when Captain Cook sailed out
from Plymouth with the Resolution and
the Discovery, the French minister of
marine issued Instructions for allowing
him to pass from sea to sea without mo-
lestation. This custom seems to be the
survival of the old Grecian idea, when
the Athenians' vessel carrying their an
nual sacred offerings to Delos was re-
spected by the other states

READY FOR TRANSFER.
Police Court Fixtures to Be Removed
to New Quarters

The removal of the Police Court to the
old bureau of statistics building on 18th
street, where court will be held pending
the construction of the new Police Court
building. will commence tomorrow. This
move was determined on by Judge Kimball
today, and plans are being made for the
beginning of the work. Engineer Patter-
son, who will supervise the placing Of the
fixtures In the temporary court building.
was at the building this morning making
arrangements for the transfer tomorrow
This does not mean that the Police Court
will hold its sessions in the 10Th street
building next week, as might be expected.
But 1t does mean that the holding of the
courts will be attended with considerable
informalitl and inconvenience to all the
officials. AS the plan has been outlined
the fixtures in the District branch of the
Police Court will be moved tomorrow.
This includes thhe judges bench, the
clerks desk. the witness stands and rails,
all of which will be taken out of the present
court room and taken to the new quarters.
AS room in the new building is limited.
many changes will have to be made. The
placing of those fiXtueS will be attended to
the first of next week.
When the lower court fixtures have been
transferred those in the upper court, or
United States branch will be taken to the
new building and will be fitted into place
there. In both cases the benches are to
be made much smaller. When the fixtures
in place for the new court 1t Is expected
the courts will be officially transferred to
the 18th street building for a period of
about two years.
Judge clerk, members of the bar, wit
neSseS and those in the audience in each
branch will therefore for a time be on the
same level physically. This will make the
holding of the court more difficult. but it
must be done If the old fixtures are to be
used in the new building. How long this
chaotic condition will last cannot be told.
but it is announced that the removal will
not be made until the 18th street building
Is in a proper condition to be occupied.
1t is expected that fully another week will
be employed in the repairs to the courts
new habtation. The decorators expect to
finish the walls tomorrow. but there is still
some work to be done by the plumber
which will take several days Then the
carpenters will be busy in fitting the old
furniture to the new court rooms.
