The Frisco Relief
Funds We're Stolen
GRAFTERs GOT GREEDY HANDS
ON FUNDS.
Official Investigation of the Affair Is
Now in Progress and Guilty Can
not Escape Punishment-Preside
Roosevelt Moving Spirit.

San Francisco, Nov 14-The Chron-
icle says today new investigation is
progressing in the course of the devel-
opments in the local graft scandal.
1t now appears that the many sums
of money, large and small, that were
sent from the different states to San
Francisco for the relief of the suf-
ferers from the calamity, never reach
ed the relief committee.
Some of these amounts, which ag-
gregated a large sum, were mailed in
care of Mayor Schmitz.
F. j. Heney, Detective William Burns
and about 100 government agents have
been making an investigation.
President Roosevelt is the moving
spirit behind the inquiry and he de-
clares that no man guilty of divert
ing relief funds, shall escape justice

BISHOP WAS THERE
FARGO REPRESENTATIVE AT THE
DIVORCE CONGRESS.
Some of the Grounds on Which Di-
vOrces Will Be Reoosnized-Sesous-
sion as to Marriage of Insane and
Extreme Youths.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 1.-THE ma
tional congress on uniform divorce
laws in session here yesterday adopt
ed about one third of the proposed un-
iform bill, as drafted by the committee
appointed at the meeting held in
Washington nine months ago. The
portions adopted include seven causes
under which the annulment of mar
riage may be obtained and six causes
for absolute divorce.
The delegates from twenty -seven
states and the District of Columbia
and representatives of all Protestant
denominations who attended the inter-
national conference on carriage, to-
gether with the Catholic prelate, Bish-
op. Stanley of North Dakota, attended
the session, which was presided over
by Governor Pennypacker. The impor-
tant changes in the bill are the strik-
ing out of all references to proceed
ings leaving the question for the var
ious legislative bodies to pass upon.
The causes for which divorce can be
granted are inffdelity, felony, bigamy,
desertion, habitual drunkenness and
intolerable cruelty, and in the discus
sion Of the various sections there was
little opposition to any of these provis-
IONS but in the list Of causes for an
nulment of marriage, opposition was
presented against several.
Governor Pennypacker took excep-
tions to the clause which provides that
If either party, unknown to the other,
was insane at the time OF marriage. ii
should be annulled This would give
a commission appointed by the court
right to begin a suit in the name of
the insane party even IL the person
not insane did not want a divorce. He
argued that marriage was personal
relation and a third party had no
rights in the contract. Seneca N. Tay-
lor of ST. Loliis and G.. Larue Munson
OF Willfamsport, Pa, clashed with the
governor on Che subject. Mr.. Taylor
said the third party is the public and
ii has right to forbid the propaga-
tion of children from the insane,
Mr.. Munson said the clause was the
only objection for an insane person
against designated man or woman
He cited case where relatives and
friends were helpless to protect ar
imbeciIe who had married design
ing woman. The cause was adopted
There was also opposition to the

FRISCO RETAINED.

Make Fight for Enforcement of the
"Unwritten Law" Will Locate in
New York.

New York, Nov. 14.-Delphine
Michael Delmas, leader of the bar on
the Pacific coast, das retained today to
defend Harry Kendall Thaw, indicted
for the murder of Stanford White, the
architect Mr.. Delmas entered into
today with Mrs. William Thaw,
mother of the defendant Later in
the day he was in consultation with
his client in the Tombs and has
agreed with him on the line of de-
fense, which will be justification Of his
deed and the demanded enforcement
of the "unwritten law.
Mr.. Delmas will be counsel in the
Thaw case in every particular, from
the selection of the jury to the ex-
animation and cross examination Of
witnesses.
For this purpose he has been adj
mitted in practice in New York state
on motion Of Former Judge Augustus
J. Van Wyck, entered last Friday in
the appellate division of the supreme
court.
Regardless of what may be the out
come of the trial. Mr.. Delmas will
abandon his California residence and
continue the practice of his profession
in New York.
The California lawyer will dominate
the trial throughout. The only lawyers
who will take part in the preparation
and the action of the trial. outside Of
Mr.. Demas,, viii be Mr.. Hartridge,
Mr.. Gleason and Mr. Peabody. AS to
the retaining fee the estimate by
eastern lawyers who know the western
lawyers ability Is that the UNDER
standing this morning could never
have been far short OF 100000, but OF
that the principal would say nothing
He admitted frankly tonight that he
had been retained for the defense and
expected to go to trial on Dec. 3. ~
Mr.. Delmas is a striking personality.
He has been called the Napoleon Of
the bar IN the west, not only because
OF his resourcefulness. his readiness to
meet emergencies, his magnetism, his
tireless aggressiveness and his cour-
age but because of his remarkable
facial and bodily resemblance to the
first consul.
II Is rather remarkable coincidence
that Mr. Delmas should have been the

We Are to Celebrate.

A conference of Skowhegan business
men was held at the Office of the Somer-
set Traction Co., Monday evening, to
perfect plans for the appropriate cele-
bration of Fourth of July next. The
records OF previous celebrations were at
hand and were gone over with consider
able car Q to see what variation, If any,
it was advisable to make in the general
was to follow the line of organization
and management which had been found
satisfactory in the past and to give a
program of paraCes and spectacular
events on the streets during the forenoon
with trotting races and general enter
tainment features at Fairvew Park in
the afternoon. OF course for both fore
noon and afternoon entirely new features
will be introduced and the effort made
to make the whole affair bigger and
better than ever.
Organization was effected by the cleo
tion of Herbert L SWEET, chairman; II
Patten, vice chairman; Fred r Law
renee, secretary and Geo Z sampson,
treasurer. Committees to take charge
of various departments were elected as
follows: Advertising, Walter Hight.

The sub-commttees are to meet and
organize during the coming week and
all are to meet as a general committee
at the Office of somerset Traction Co
next Monday evening at 80.
1t is assumed that Skowhegan people
will be anxious to cooperate with the
committee they have chosen In forward
ing plans for the Fourth, and there are
many ways in which they can do 80.
First and most important, plan to pass
the day in town. The days program
will equal to any carried out in Maine
on that date and it should require no
sacrifice for every citizen to be loyal to
his home town to that extent. In the
time intervening between now and the
Fourth, talk the Skowhegan celebration
on all occasions and mention 1t in all
letters which are written to friends else
where. Also be ready to carry out, If
possible, all requests which the com
mittee will have occasion to make.
There is labor In abundance connected
| with all such matters but the burden is
| light If distributed among all those who
should consider themselves eligible to
share in it Let all lend hand and
Skowhegan will add another great day
to her long list of famous cele lebIations.

Other than Mr.. and Mrs. Alonzo Rich
arison of East Skowhegan there is not a
couple in this town and probably not in
the county of Somerset or the State Of
Maine who have had the rare good for
tune to complete their sixtieth year of
welded life. This circumstance makes
the sixtieth anniversary celebrated by
them on March 20. an event of more
than ordinary interest. These worthy
people were both born in this section of
the state and have passed their lives in
Somerset county or within a few miles
of its border. They have lived helpful
lives, he model citizen, she an ideal
housewife and home maker. Their ex-
ample has taught and will continue to
teach that happiness, contentment and
the respect of mankind are the reward
of time well spent, and that life may be
broad and useful among comparatively
humble opportunities. They have con-
ferred many blessings upon friends and
neighbors and the localities in which
they have passed their many busy years.
and have in turn been richly blessed.
