CAsTELLANE INDEBTEoNEs

PARIS, December 5-The reply of .Maitre
Cruppi counsel for Count Boni de Castel-
lane and the former countess in the suit OF
their creditors, consumed the entire session
of the tribunal of first instance of the Seine
today. M. Cruppi described how the trades
mems and usurers' bills had been cleverly
mixed up, and reiterated the perfect will
ingness of Madame Anna Gould to settle
the legitimate debts, although delay was
necessary as there were no funds from the
trustee of the estate at her disposal at
present Counsel argued that it was unjust
and illegal to attempt to make Madame
Gould responsible for the enormous sums
borrowed by Count Boni of usurers to meet
his mad extravagances and princely prod
igality."

WILL TEST THE LAW
ORDERS RECEIVED IN FRISCO ON
SCHOOL UESTION.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 5.-Uhder
direct orders from Washington the repre-
sentatives of the Department of Justice in
California have been instructed to begin an
action in the courts to test the legality OF
the state statute which provides that chill
dren of Monaghan descent shall attend a
separate school.
President Altman of the board of educa-
ton yesterday received a communication
from United States Attorney Devlin re-
questing a conference in order that arrange
ments might be made to institute a suit.
This conference will be held at the rooms of
the board this afternoon.
When the attention of President Altman
was called to that portion of the President
message referring to the japanese school
question, he said that the utterances of the
President on that question would have no
effect on the action of the board
I'VE have simply put into effect law

" each and every member of the board be-
recede from the position which we have
taken, and believe that our action VIII be
sustained by public sentiment throughout
the state, even if the courts should declare
it to be unconstitutional, or a violation OF
treaty rights
Storm of Protest.
That part of President Roosevelts mes
sage dealing with the japanese has stirred
up a storm in San Francisco, and the news
papers reflect the popular feeling on the
subject The Chronicle, which was the hrst

says: ..
due to his Office regardless of the indl-
vidual, the astonishing outburst or the
President in that portion of his message
which refers to the law of California I'M
der which children of Asiatic parents are
taught in public schools of this city. We
care nothing whatever for Mr.. Roosevelt,
but we do desire to at all times speak with
respect of the President of the United
States
1T is necessary, however. to say that
the President has degraded his position
by assertions which are untrue, aSsump-
lions which have no basis in fact, recon-
mendations which can only excite ridi-
Guile implied threats which he has no
power to execute, all presented In tone
calculated to arouse national and lnterna-
tional passion. And the worst of all is
that he is evidently insincere
THE President says to shut out Japa-
nese from public schools is a wicked alb
surdity.' They are not shut out from pub
lie schools That is an untruth. The
President demands more power to enforce
the rights of aliens under treaties. The
context shows that his assumption is that
the Japanese have treaty right to enter
our schools. There is no basis of fact for
that assumption

I'VE are assured by Seneca" says
the historian Inge that there were
women In ancient Rome who counted
their ages not by their years, but by the
husbands they had had. Juvenal tells
of one woman who had married eight
husbands In Ave years. Divorce was
granted ON the slightest pretext. Many
separated merely from love of change,
dlsdalnlng to give any reason, like
HImlllus Paulus, who told his friends
that he knew best where his shoes
pinched him. Rich wives were not
much sought after by wise men. Their
complete emancipation made them DIFF
ficult to manage. Accordingly, since
both rich and poor wives were obJec-
tionable, the large majority of men
never married at all In most cases n
Roman bridegroom knew practically
nothing of his wIfe's character until
after marriage. Marriage for the RO'
man woman meant II transition from
rigid seclusion to almost unbounded
liberty. She appeared as matter Of
course at her husbands table whether
he had company or not. She could go
where she liked, either to the temples Of
Isis and Scraps or to the circus and
amphitheater. She had her own troops
OF slaves, over whom she ruled without
