Count Boni is Thus Made the Defendant in Separa-
 ton Case.

Paris, Feb 16-An urgent writ to-day was served upon Count Boni de Castellane making him defendant in the separation proceedings of his wife, formerly Anna Gould. This de cisive step was taken after renewed efforts to effect a reconciliation had proved fruitless. The count accepfe,i service of the writ, even calling upon the countess's lawyers to facilitate fixing upon a place where the writ could be delivered. The bill of com- plaint was filed at the same time. It follows very closely the countess's $ prima facie showing when she first asked the courts permission to take action against her husband. It men, tions no names but particularizes cer- tain incidents in which the count IS alleged to have participated and II asks for decree for what the French law terms separation of body and property" meaning complete material separation without a dissolution of the bonds of matrimony.
 The court holds the bill of complaint in the strictest secrecy but the fore going are the essential features of its contents. It can be stated with alp solute positiveness now that the coun' tess has formally inaugurated her ac' ton that it is her intention to secure decree at the earliest date possible The count will not contest the grant ing of decree.

SCALE COMMITTEE
Of Miners Began Work To-day on Propositions Submitted
 Yesterday.

New York, Feb. .16-The anthracite miners subcommittee of seven a2- pointed at yesterdays conference be- tween the coal operators and the pD- ions special scale committee, today began the work of formulating in de, tail the propositions which have al ready been presented i'll general form to the employers. The task is an ar duous one and 1t probably will be at least week before the committee will have it's report in shape for sub .it.,,ion to the subcommittee CT sew en appointed by the operators. In the meantime there is likely to be no de- velopment in the situation, as the op- orators will not be able to make 2 move until they learn specifically what the mine workers will demand.
 The subcommittee of the miners is made LID of President Mitchell and the three district presidents and sec retaries. The other members of the special scale committee are stDl here but most of them will have returned to the coal fields by tomorrow night. Some of them will be kept here by MT Mitchell to assist the subcommittee III preDdEl1k llit lttlHlCn. poitioho uA the communication to be given to tie mine owners.
 Besides meeting with the sub-com- mittee President Mitchell will look ar ter the general work of the miners or ganization. He is receiving daily re- ports from various fields including the Pittsburg district. So far as can be learned the situation in the central competitive bitunlinous field with re- lation to the deadlock on the question of an increase in wages in that ter ritory remains unchanged. It is un- derstood. however, that influences are at work in an endeayor to bring about an agreement before April when the | two year compact between the mine owners and the united mine workers | in the central district expires.
 President Mitchell steadily refuses to discuss the western Pennsylvania embroglio nor would he comment on the speech made by District President
 Dolan in the Pittsburg convention yesterday.

FARMERS CUNNING
Bound to Protect Themselves Against the Reckless
 Automobilists.

Chicago, Feb 16.-To secure revenge for the deaths caused by reckless au- tomobilists going to and from Chicago through Lake county, Indiana. last year, and to protect themselves during this year, the farmers of that district have banded themselves into what they call the Lake County Protective association
 The original intention of the assocl- 6tion was to rid the county of horse thieves and by extending their plans to include automObilists they have classed the latter with horse thieves and say they will treat reckless chauf- feurs as such. The association at a meeting last night voted to secure the arrest of any person in charge of a motor vehicle who violates the speed law
 The association will post guards along the highway used by automobile scorchers and plans to deal harshly with them. Four persons were killed along those roads last summer by speeding automobiles and many per sons were injured.

THE AMERICAN SEAL
Was Placed On the Archives of Venezuela Consulate by Con
 sul Mason To-day.

Paris, Feb 16.LThe United States consul general in Paris and the con- suls at Havre, Bordeaux, Nice, Mar seilles and Nantes to-day received or ders from the state department at Washington through the Americah embassy in Paris 10 take possession: of the archives of the Venezuelan coli- sulates in those cities. The orders ex- pressly limit the action of the consuls to taking possession of the archives. The effect of this is to suspend fur- ther consular business as the archives cover the old papers whereas the limi- tation prevents the transaction of new consular business. The limitation Tor lows the ruling by Premier Ronyier that Venezuela having taken the lniti- ative fin revoking the exequaturs or the French consuls in Venezuela wnile also threatening to interfere wiui French shipping it was incumbent upon France to follow the same course.
 Pursuant to the instructions. Con sul General Mason proceeded 10 the Venezuelan consulate on the Avenue Victor Hugo, which has been in the hands of caretaker since M. Mau. bouyuet's enforced departure from Paris, and assumed charge of the archives upon which he placed the American consular seal. The othei American consuls similarly took over the archives of the Venezuelan con culates in their respective cities. Tn, consulate of Venezuela at St Nazair' was entrusted to the American coisu at Nantes as it was deemed inadyis shle to turn over the archives to th' American consular agent at St Nazair' as he is a French citizen.

The whole of Copenhagen was given up to mourning. Business and work were at a standstill While emblems of sorrow were displayed ev- erywhere. The enormous black-garb- ed crowds of town people, swelled Dy thousands of arrivals from the coui- try districts, thronged the square Ill front of the Christianborg church ana the route thence to the railway sta- tion from early morning, standing patiently for hours in order to pay last tribute to the dead monarch. Inr windows all along the route were hi- ed with spectators who paid MSh prices for seats Most of the owners of such places of vantage announced their intention of devoting to charity in memory of King Christian, the proceeds of the sale of seats. Shortly before noon the kings or Denmark, Greece and Norway. Queen Alexandria. the dowager empress or Russia, and other royal relatives or the deceased, and the representatives of foreign soyereigns, reached the | Christianborg church where brief service was held at the conclusion or which the coffin, covered With me Danish standard. was borne high by naval and military officers to the watt | ing hearse. Then, headed by infantry ! and cavalry, simple cortege was formed and slowly proceeded through | the three and aNhalf miles of streets
 between the church and the railroao station.

 that the body of Danish king ha'

Chicago. Feb. 16-Members of the Cook county branch of the National Stone Cutters society of the United States have appealed to the superior court for protection from an alleged conspiracy by the Associated Building Trades of Chicago and affiliated organ izations to compel them to join that organization.

 The foreign business In agricul- tural machinery is rapidly growing, particularly with Russia, where Amer. ican manufactures of this description show an increasing popularity, mainly owing to the facts that the machinery suits local conditions and it's extreme lightness which permits of better trans portation than European make. II. fact. wherever they are Introduced American agricultural machines quick. ly supersede everything turned ont by foreign competitors. The question oi price is not considered by the average buyer abroad, farming machinery made in the United States readily command ing higher figure than the products of British or German plants.
