Hereditary Insanity.

the theory formed here to account for

NO LEGAL CLAIM UPON HER

Paris, Feb. 15.-The financial nego-

separation from his wife, formerly
Anna Gould, of New York, as he has
simpIified this branch by stating that

one of the lawyers of the countess
1t was most emphAtic, and substan-
tally in the following terms:
''I declare to you, and 1 swear TO the
exactness of my declaration, that L
not only do not demand, but that /

Has Enormous Debts.
The count thus disposes of the
statement TO the effect that he con-
temptuously refused $4,000 a year on
the ground tht it was not sufficient for
his pocket money
The attitude of the count leaves the
lawyers of the countess to consider
only his outstanding indebtedness,
which reaches an enormous sum- The
CasteIlane marriage contract gives the
countess her separate income, not sub
ject to claims for the debts of her hus-
band This contract ensures the pro-
lection of the countess fortune against
being absorbed in the present cOntrO-
versy and also prevents the counts
creditors from taking legal action
against the countess. At the same
time she does not appear disposed to
exact the strict letter of the contract,
and the financial negotiations are for
the purpose of making some arrange
ment for a compromise with the count
creditors.

Although the lawyers expect the case

recognize that a slight element of in

countess, due to her continued feeling

nance to involve her family in a scam

The foregoing facts are from those
directly in charge of the countess in

Blasts Heber Ms Hopes.

The determination of the governor to
call the legislature in special session
blasts the hope of Ex-Governor Heber NJ.
Wells to succeed Senator SmOot in the
event the latter is unseated. A SuoOt
legislature, it need hardly be said. viii
never consent to the elevation Of Cover
nor Wells to the senatorship. The latter
had hoped that in the event of Shoots
downfall. he could bring sufficient pres
sure to bear to force Governor Cutler to
appoint him TO thu vacancy; but the de-
termination of Governor Cutler to shift
the responsibility, means tfat Smoot's
successor viii be chosen by Il body
Wells
The SmOOt men say that the situation
at Washington is such that Senator SmOot
will be permitted 20 retain his seat. They
seem to have no doubt of it; but they
have planned in advance that. in any
event, the seuatOrship viii not slip from
their CRASH

CUTLER WILL NOT
NAME A SENATOR
If Smoot Loses His Seat, Legislature
Will Be Called to Elect His
Successor.
NO CHANCE FOR GOV. WELLS
CARDS ARE ALREADY STACKED
TO PREVENT HIS ELECTION.

If Senator Reed Smoot should lose his
seat, Governor John c. Cutler will not
assume the responsibility of appointing
his successor, but viii summon the leg
islatUre in special session to elect
senator. This statement comes from a
source so close to the governor as to
leave no doubt of it's authenticity.
A senator elected by the legislature
would serve until the expiration Of Sena-
tor Shoots term-March 4, 1893 4 sena-
tor appointed by the governor would serve
only until the legislature of 1907 could
meet and elect his successor.

Governor Friendly to smoot.

Governor Cutler is identified with the
SmOot faction of the Republican party;
he owes his own nomination to that fac
ton, and he has determined TO pay the
debt The present legislature showed in
moot organization, and, should it be
ealled upon to elect 4 senator, it would
un0UestiOnabiy name a SmoOt candidate.
On the other hand, were the governor TO
appoint d senator and pass the election
of a successor to Senator SmoOt UP to
the next legislature there is a chance that
that legislature would not be under SmOOt
control, and that either a Democrat or
an anti-SmOot Republican would be elect
ed. By having the present legislature
elect Shoots successor, che SmOOt ma
chine would thus ensure its control of
both senatorships until 1909, and the at
tendant control of ell federal patronage

W-ASHLSGTDN, u. C., March 1a,--Ihe
tobacco trust cases, involving the right
OF witnesses to refrain from testifying
before Federal grand 1urles in proceedings
under the antitrust law. were to-day de-
cided by the Supreme Court of the United
States against the witnesses. The cases
grew out OF proceedings for writs of
habeas corpus Instituted in the Circuit
Court for the southern district of New
York. whose decision was affirmed. The
court held. however. that the subpoena
in this case was -t3o broad.
The titles of the cases were Edwin +.
Hale VS.. United States Marshal Henkel,
and William RI. MclAllister VS.. Henkel,
and both cases came to the supreme
Court on appeals from the United States
Circuit Court for the southern district OF
New York.
These cases involved the broad aues-
ton of the right OF Federal grand jury
to compel witnesses to answer questions,
land as this question has recently arisen
| in many OF the Federal courts. tho deci-
sion in this case has been looked for
ward to with much interest. The pres
ent proceeding had It's origin in con-
lncction with a suit of tho government
against the American Tobacco Company,
commonly known as the tobacco trust;
| the McAndrews and Forbes Company,
| and the Imperial Tobacco Company, under
| tho anti-tr,Ist law. which was instituted
lin the Circuit Court of the United States
for the southern district of New York
! Hale aud McAllistcr are officers of to-
bacco companies, and when called to tes-
| tify before tho grand jury, relative to
| the existence of the so-callcd trust, they
lrefused to answer questions or to pro-
duce their books. They were committed
| for contempt OF court and sought to es-
cape by means of writs OF habeas corpus.
, These writs We're refused, and tho case
was brought to tile Supreme Court by
the defendants.
In the hearing they attacked the juris-
diction of the grand jury and contsnded
that at the time they were before tho
jury. there was no action pending against
the tobacco companies. The jury's right
to compel answers was questioned on the
ground that IN the investigation 1t was
making there was no specific charge
against any particular person. They also
attacked the constitutonality OF the act
OF February %, 1908, granting immunity
| to witnesses in antitrust cases.
