BREAK UP
Carr Quits Nye Because of
 Convention

Gen. E. NJ. Carr, formerly of the law firm of Carr & Preston, of Seattle, has dissolved partnership with K. V, Nye, in the law firm of Carr & Nye, at Fair banks, on account of the attitude of Nye in the Alaska convention, held here recently, says the Post-.ntelli- gencer.
 h telegram to a personal friend tn Seattle Gen. Carr asks that the disso- lution of partnership with Nye be an uounced, and says that the course adopt ed by Wye was entirely unwarranted
 Nye was one of the bitterest oppon' ents to Carl NJ. Johsnson, who was the choice of the Panama valley for dele gate to represent Alaska at Washing ton. The opposition of Nye was due tc the fact that Johanson was a strong friend of Judge Wickersham. Gen Carr aud Jr dge Wickersham have beer close friends for a number of years, anG shortly after Carr's arrival at Fairbank: he was appointed court commissioner by the judge,

The activity of Seattle people in rep resenting themselves as Alsskans in making this recommendation and that to congress about the laws that should be made for this district and the men appointed 70 execute them is one more proof of the need of transferring the seat of lawmakiDg and government for Alaska from Washington to some town in the district.

Even the Post-Intelligencer was made to sicken by the showing made by H. H. Rogers on the witness stand. It goes SO far as to say Rogers acted very much as though the things told about him by Lawson were true. He was apparently so ashamed of the Standard Oil combination ard his con- uection with it that he would tell noth. of 1t, and then he rar when they tried to take his picture. He was much more like naughty boy than the great man of finance, he was supposed to be.

A QUESTION OF RIGHTS

The arrest of contractor tn Seattle yesterdly for accusing the court of his county with corruption brings to the front & practice that is altogether too common. That is the freedom with which dissatisfied people accuse others of being guilty of crime. It is a free uuent thing to hear 8 street-corner statesman to charge one or another of the public officials or someone else who is Iu position of responsibility with being bribe-:sker, or of some other kind of corruption, when, if the truth were known, it would be discovered that he talked absolutely without knowledge and prosbly without any reasonable ground for suspicion. 1.-the law were enforced and these men brought into court for islander they would probably make pitiable eIhiOi- tions of themselves and often pay law ful penalty for their wrong doing.
 The man who falsely accuses another of a crime, or who makes charges against him of a criminal nature at ran dom, is, by that act, guilty of a crime worse, usually, than would be that of his enemy if the accusations were true.
 There is one other thing, of quite a different nature, suggested by the ar res. of Mir. Riley for contempt of court, and one that is a menace to the hber- ties of the American people. That is the disposition of our courts to usugp authority, to assume the functions of court and jury, and often of the legis- lature itself. l. has become 50 in the United States that a man who Critictses a court must answer for his criticism to the very court criticised. Just imagine, if you please, what kind of proof would be required of Mir. Riley to es- tablish to the judicial satisfaction of the court he has accused that he, the accused, is bribe-'aker. It places the co.rt iu a position that he must find MT. Riley guilty of contempt, or admit that he, himself, is a scouudrel, and should be removed from office. Instances are no. lack ugwhere American courts have ar-Ogsted to themselvls more power tban has been exercised by the most despotic monarch Of recent times. Just a few weeks ago Senator Paterson, Of Colorado, was fued l,OOO for criticisiDg the supreme court of Colorado, he fine be. g imposed by those whom he crit icissd. When arraigued Senator Pat tersou admitted full responsibility for the articles D his paper that were con- plaiued of. He declined an opporIuni- sy to apologize for them, said he bell we'd they were true, and offered to submit his proofs. He wss summarily adjudged guilty of contempt. When asked if he had anything 10 say ss 10 why sentence should not be imposed, he made one of the most eloquent speeches of his life, auI one of the strongest, in condemning the tendency of courts to claim powers to which no authority Is entitled in a free country.
 AIr. Riley should be held strictly ac- cluu,able for the words he has uttered s7j he and every other man accused of a crime, the proof of which iivo'vss questions of fcf, shoulI be given the right of trial by juIy. Anything less than either of these propositions is incompatible with the institu. ions of a free country.

 "He got to be 8 mere skeleton, and was hardly able to walk. My Aunt advised me to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment.

I took it home without any faith, but to please her tried it, and it seemed to dry up the sores a little.
 "I sent to the drug store and got Q cake of the Soap and Q box of the Ointment and followed the directions, and at the end of about two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since. : "He is now strong and healthy, and I can sincerely say that only for your most wonderful remedies my precious child would have died from those terrible sores.

COMBINE ON MAIL RATES
anscontinentaI Railroads Reach ar
Agreement, Doing Away With
All Competition
BY Associated Pres


CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-The Record.
Herald tomorrow will say:
Transcontinental railways reached az
agreement yesterday that will prac-
tically eliminate all competition fol
mail contracts west of Chicago to the
Pacific coast. In pursuance of the
agreement notices were sent out by
three roads operating fast transconti-
rental trains that after next Sunday
the running times of the California
limited of the Santa Fe, the Los An
geles limited train of the Northwestern
Union Pacific & San Pedro railroads
the Golden State limited of the Rock
Island and Southern Pacific would be
increased from siXty-seven and one
quarter hours between Chicago and
Los Anglees to sixty-nine and one
quarter hours.
BY this arrangement the Santa Fe
will relinquiSh some of the mail 1t now
secures at Kansas City and the Rock
II and will get some of this, while the
Northwestern and Union Pacific will
secure some new mail at Chicago from
the east. Repeated conferences between
the highest officials led to the final
conclusion that it would be better to
inaugurate schedules that the trains
could maintain than to be continually
arriving late at the terminus.
The roads concerned have agreed not
to engage in any speed war to secure
undue preference in the mail contracts
to be awarded in the spring.

TRYING TO TERMINATE
ANTI-AMERICAN BOYCOTT
IMPORTANT ACTION TAKEN BY
SECRETARY METCALF
Purpose Is to Improve Our Relations
With China by Radical Revision
of Regulations Governing Entry of
Orientas


WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Secretary
Metcalf of the department of commerce
and labor today took action which is
expected to ameliorate considerably the
friction batween this country and
China, and perhaps cause the ABANDON
ment of the anti-American boycott,
when he approved the report of the
special committee composed of Assis-
tant Secretary Murray Solicitor Sims
and Richard Campbell of the bureau of
immigration, providing for a radical
revision of the existing regulations
under which Chinese may enter and re-
side in this country The commission S
report touches by way OF either eX-
cision or amendment tWenty-four of the
existing regulations.
Beside certain alterations that
promise to avoid delay in landing Chi
nese who apply for admission, other
alterations have been made where pos
sible with a view to avoiding any
action that would seem offensive, pro-
Vided that the object intended by such
regulations could be accomplished
otherwise. AS an illustration of this
the commission recommended the dis
continuance of the Bertillon system of
Identification.
Another amendmen of the regula-
tions recommended by the commission
is y requirement. lndl lne dQlnllllSlId-
tive officers should advise Chinese per-
sons, either laborers or Of the exempted
classes, before their departure from the
United States. of the conditions under
which they will be admitted upon their
return Upon this point the officers are
directed to use special care, so that no
Chinese person who has a right to re-
side in this country shall be allowed TO
depart therefrom under mistaken inn
preston that he will he readmitted.
Provisions are also made for the noti-
fication of Chinese who have been de-
MED admission at the ports Of entry of
their right to appeal from such denial
to the secretary, such notice being
required under the new regulations to
be in the Chinese tongue and the
further preoaution to be taken TO notify
the Chinese consul, If there be such an
officer at the port of entry, Of the adj
verse action of the officers at such port
i'm the case OF any Chinese person, so
that said consular officer may have the
opportunity, should he deem such a
course necessary, to employ counsel or
otherwise interest himself in behalf of
his countryman.

DARING WOMAN

Before Trick Is Discovered.

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-The daring and
skillfu theft of $4,000 worth of jewels
by woman who, representing herself
as a prominent membe. of the 1900"
walked out of Tiffanys with the GEMS
in small parcel, has been reported to
police headquarters and several of the
best detectives ave been put to work
on the theft, which was so ingenious
there is absolutely no clew on which to
base an Investigation.
For more than a week the woman
had the jewels, which were charged to
society woman, before Tiffany s
manager discovered he had been duped.
Every detail of the robbery shows the
woman had thorough knowledge of
the FIRMS method of doing business
and she apparently knew a great deal
concerning the personal affairs of the
woman she impersonated. She selected
several pieces of jewelry set with dia-
monds and said she wished to take
them for a week or two to see If she
liked them.
She gave the name of we'll known
society woman and produced from her
ehatelaine bag letters and papers
which would indicate that she was that
person.
Today the real society woman whose
name was used by the thief visited Tiff
fany's, and when asked by one of the
assistant managers how she liked the
jewelry she had bought, she denied that
she had bought any jewelry for months,
and the theft was then discovered.

SEEKS A DIVORCE
/. FROM COUNT BON|.
PLEA FILED BY COUNTESS De
CASTELLANF
In Accordance With French Law,
Judge Tries to Effect Recon.
ciIiation, but Without
Success
By Associated Press.


PARIS. Feb. 5.-Countess Boni de
Castellane, formerly Anna Gould, en-
tered plea for divorce today. Rem
resentatives of the countess and the
count appeared before Judge Henry
Ditte of the court of first instance.
who, in conformity with the French
law, endeavored to arrange concilia-
ton before allowing definite suit to
proceed. It is said on unquestionable
authority that Judge Ditte's efforts
were not successful, the countess alb
solutely declining to resume her rela-
tions with her husband, and that after
repeated but vain attempts by Count
de Castellane's advisers to arrange
settlement, the representatives of the
count and countess left the court, and
tomorrow the suit will. proceed.
Another judicial effort at reconcilia-
tion will almost certainly be made be-
fore the suit comes to trial in the or
dinary course
No decision has been reached reIn-
tive to the eventual custody of the
children of the count and countess
hut they, being under age, will natural
ly, for the present, remain in the care
OF their mother.
de Castellane express little hope that
any adjustment of their differences viii
be brought about, but as divorce pro-
ceedings under the French law are very
lengthy new developments may occur
before the case comes UP for trial. A
decree cannot be pronounced under
from three to six months.
Rumors have been current for long
time that the countess had decided
that any continuation of her relations
with her husband was impossible, and
her removal from the Castelane rest
dence to hotel in the center of Paris
gave support to the belief that she had
finally decided to apply for O. divorce.
Sensational reports have been cir
culated with reference to the counts
conduct and the name of prominent
society leader of Paris, woman of
very high standing, has been men
toned in connection with the affair
But the greatest reticence has been
maintained by all the parties concerned
relative to the progress of the negotla-
tions looking to a Cancellation, and
even this morning a favorable result
was expected, especially as the coun-
tess returned to her residence. 1t now
appears that the efforts of those in
terested in bringing about a settlement
of the differences between the coun-
tess and the count without an appeal
to the courts have been unavailing.
The count is said to be in the south
east of France.
