Norfolk are much in favor of the con-
tinuation of the exposition. They de-
clare that while not financial sue

are wearing 'em long" he said, with
determination.
But, Doodles, dear, you aren't tall
enough to look well in long trousers
yet" demonstrated his mother.
"Oh, pshaw!" responded Doodles
to his mothers argument. Look at
Shorty Downs. He isn't up to my
shoulders And Fat Allen is just my

poets to be full grown man at once.
You can wait another year and then
you will look the part better"
"Oh, gee," said Doodles in dis
gust. "You said that last year. You
promised that IL I passed everything |
could have them"
Were 1t not that one must decline
wantonly to offend Doodles' dignity,
one would say that at this point he
sniffied. The family council as a
whole looked uneasily.
"But you see. dear, you are really
only a small boy yet" said Doodles

moist.
sOh, now, mother, there you go!
That's just what you said about cut

CANADIAN PREMIER
ON THE JAPANESE.
Tells Union Men That Government Will
Inquire Into Troubles Before
Abrogating Treaty.

OTTAWA, Sept. 24.-Sir Wilfred Laurier
has telegraphed a non-comnittal reply to
the Canadian union men who asked at
Winnipeg for the ~abrogation of the jap
anese treaty. 1t practically amount to a
refusal. and the union men are very sore
about 1t. 1t reads:
~ nave given due consideration to your
request that immediate steps be taken to
terminate the treaty with Japan. l would
observe that this treaty. when brought into
existence some fifteen years ago. did not
apply to Canada. and that some few years
ago. in response to the repeated express
sions of public opinion and with a view
to affording to Canadian producers an APP
| portunity of taking their share of Jananese
trade. the Canadian government became
a party to this treaty, and that 1t was
unanimously ratified by the Canadian Par
Lament.
9TH treaty has proved of great advan-
tage and our trade with Japan under II
has considerably increased. You base your
appeal for the denupciation Of treaty on
| the allegation that a crisis has arisen in
British Columbia by reason of the unpre-
cedented influx of Japanese. While 1t is
true that most regrettable incidents have
lately occurred in Vancouver, there seems
reason to doubt that the cause was the

a telegraphic dispatch from the Mayor OF
Vancouver, which has been rendered pub
lie, which. while expressly adverse, says
that the disturbances were directed against
Asiatics generally rather than againsI
Japanese.
Under such circumstances any precipi.
tate action might be regrettable, and be.
fore committing themselves TO such a
course the government thinks that they
should carefully inquire into the causes
which within the recent past lave caused
a great influx to our shores than previous

UNDERWRITERS DOMESTIC
TROUBLES IN COURT.
He Sues for Divorce and Wife Gets Ali
mony and Counsel Fee While
It is Pending.

Material for a secio-comedy with sensa-
tional passages and a m~ise-en-scene of dead
men. funerals and interments. that would
have elighted Robert Louis Stevenson,
was presented in argument before Vice
Chancellor Howell today, when former
Governor George T. Werts, as counsel
representing Orion w. Hughson, of Nor
ristown. who has filed suit against his
wife. Evalena. for divorce on the ground of
desertion. opposed the application of
Charles A. Rathbone, representing the
wife. for counsel fees and alimony PEN
dente, lite. The court allowed the wife IS
a week and counse $50 for preliminary ex-
penses.
According to the husbands bill the
Hughsons were married in the spring Of
1887. and lived together until 1905 at Sc
Speedwell avenue, Morristown, in apart
ments above the Undertaking establish
ment carried on by the petitioner. Mr..
Hughson AYERS that about three years ago
he secured the property, 1879 Speedwell ave-
nue.. for residential purposes, SO that he
could remove his wife from scenes he
deemed depressing and gruesome.
In describing the object of his client, Mr..
Werts said that Mr.. Hughson charge
of the mortuary department of the big
insane asylum, and that the undertaking
establishment constantly contained dead
bodies. funerals, interments' and a con-
tinual stream of strange visitors, who
called to. attend these obsequies.
Mr.. Rathbone declared on the part of the
wife. that the living apartments occupied
by the family were entirely disconnected
with the undertaking establishment. He
said his wife declined to occupy the resi-
denee at 1879 Speedwell avenue for the rea-
son that 1t is too large for two people. He
averred that at the time the house was
purchased. in 1904, the petitioner wanted
his wife to take charge of the residence
and keep boarders ard so pay off the
mortgage resting on the property.
1t appears from the papers in the case
that this proposal was rejected by the wife,
who chose the juxtaposition of the dead
rather than work for a houseful of live
boarders. The defendant remains in charge
of the apartments above the mortuary
chamber. On April 4. 1905, the husband
moved his personal belongings to the new
residence. and holds the fort there. He
Gains his wife deserted him when she re-
fused to accompany him. The wife AYERS
by way Of a petulant answer that he has
consoled himself by Installing a young
housekeeper to whom he pays lover-like
attentions.

house for the farm. He said all tha
representation made as to the value Of

sibilities were fraudulent, and h a I'M

There WINS excitement in the vicinity of

JAMIToR SHOWED KNIFE.
Said He'd Cut Furniture Mans Heart
0ut-Gets Gay in Court.

There was a hot time in the vicinity
of Broome and Baldwin streets shortly
after 8 o'clock last night. Robert
Demey, a negro, so years old, janitor
of a big tenement house at 127 Broome
street, refused to allow a furniture
man to carry in several pieces of furni-
ture purchased by n of the tenants.
Israel Goldblatt, of 81 Boyd street, the
driver of the furniture wagon, engaged
in an argument with Demey. The
latter insisted it was past the union
hour, and he would not permit Gold
blatt to proceed. Goldblatt drove back
to the store where the furniture was
purchased, followed by the purchaser,
who insisted that the furniture be de.
livered. Once again the driver made
an attempt to carry the goods into
the house, and Demey's defense pre-
vented it. Ferdinand Bernstein, the
owner of the house, gave the driver ar
order, but Demey ignored it and finally
drew a razor and threatened to cut
G~oldblatt's heart out If he didn't
beat 1t.
Goldblatt seized the razor and brokf
it in half, and was then chased by
Demey. Policeman Pfrommer, with
the aid of Max Gelb, a Democratic pol
itician of the Third Ward, caught
Demey and took him to the station
house. He was slated and paroled un'
til today.

Pearson, when Demey was arraignet
today.

What's wrong?"
Goldblatt then told his story, being
interrupted by Demey several times
who contradicted him and laughed
aloud.

What have you been drinking?"

How do you plead, are you guilt!
or not guilty?" was the next ques
ton,

The court instructed Doorman Mar
tin to take Demey back to his cell t
sober up. and the case was adjourne'

AFTERMATH OF RAID
MRS. RUoFF FORTUNATE
ONCE MORE.
Is Wife who Surprised Husband and
Gathered Damaging Evidence-Took
Some Things by Mistake.

Mary Ruoff, of II Hawkins street
was accused of grand larceny BY
George t. Frost, of 375 Washington
avenue, in the Third Precinct Polio,
Court this morning. After hearing the
testimony the judge discharged her
on August rs Mrs. Ruoff made a sen.
sational call at a house in High street
where she had reason to suspect thai
her husband was with another woman
She found him there with Frost and
two women, and she started to make
things lively. She took some thing:
belonging to her husband, and in hel
excitement she got a hat and coat be-
longing to Frost. Out of this grew the
complaint.
This is the second time that Mrs
Ruoff has appeared in h Third Pre-
cinct Police Court charged with lar
ceny within az month, the former one
being preferred by her husband, be-
cause, he alleged, that when she e
tered his house in High street, which
was at n time occupied by both OF
them, she took some money from his
pocket and also some of his clothing
She was discharged on that occasion
too.
The trouble between the Rouffs has
been of long standing, and since their
separation the woman has been living
in the home of her sister at IL Haw-
kins streetA For some time she has
acted as her own detective, collecting
evidence with which she wishes to Sc
cure a divorce. Early on the morning
of August 26 she invaded the house
formerly occupied by herself and there,
she said, she found her husband and
George Frost, the man who made the
complaint against her this morning,
and two women, one of whom was
known to her as Nellie" She gathered
together a lot of clothing, both mems
and women's. and bundled it together
as exhibit No. 1. She then went
through the house and found things
that made her sit up and think, Cigar
and cigarette stubs, beer bottles and
glasses, were only a few of them. She
then started to mix things up, and
the women fled from the house, n OF
them leaving a silk undershirt marked
with the letter IN"
That same morning Mrs. Rouff APP
peared in the Fourth Precinct Police
station and tried to have a charge pre-
fered against her husband. At the
same time her husband was in tht
Third Precinct Court making a ehargc
of larceny against his wife. At the
Fourth Precinct station she was told tc
appear ut 9 O'Clock the next day, ami
the summons directing her to appear II
the Third Precinct as defendant re-
quired the same hour on the same day
Matters we're finally adjusted. TIE
charge against her husband never came
to trial.
And now the night has closed ovei
tho High street incident the policf
courts are through with the case and
it will noebe publicly aired again un'
less Mrs. Rouff presses her suit for di.
vorce.
