WIDOWED QUEENS
 OUT FOR 4 LARK Freed From Rigid Etiquette Of

 Girls at Play-out With
 Automobile.
SHELTERED BY A SHEPHERD
By THE MARQUIS DE cAsTELLANE

by f1E MAhQOIS LIE CAS L LLAN
 Paris, November 1A-There is no more emancipated woman in Europe today than the widow of king. Once free and mistress of her actions, she plunges headIong into every sport and pleasure heretofore denied her
 It would seem that those royal ladies were bent upon revenge. One cannot fai to sympathize with them to d great extent when one thinks of their narrowly cir and the splendor and misery of theil royal state.
 How 1t all must have palledi for one cannot blame them when they tear off the mask of artihce and fling it away with the stuffy gown of velvet and ermine to don the loosely fitting automo- bile coat or the trim tailor gown.
 This is just what the charming and well-loved Queen Margherita of Italy and | the Dowager Queen of Spain have done. These two widowed queens have broken through the rigid etiquette of their re- spective courts and gone off together au- tomobiling through France like a couple of runaway schoolgirls. And what a lark of a time they are having as they dash along the white roads in an So-horse- power car. Bravo, little queensi |
 These two royal ladies voyage abso- lutely ineognito. No one has the least hint of who they may be. The utmost sim plicity marks their equipage. Their chauffeur might be any man hired by the day. Their clothes are dusty and stained by the sun and rain. They have no at l tendants-not even a maid. The other night an accident happened
 
 spot late at night. So they entered a shepherds hut in quite democratic man. ner and asAed for shelter. The shepherd offered them each a bundle of clean straw in lieu of a bed, which he did not possess. His guests thanked him and, tired out with the travel and agitation of the day, they slept the sleep of the just upon their lowly beds.
 A wedding which has set Parisians won dering is that of General Picquart, minis . ter of war, who was disgraced during the Dreyfus case and sent out to Africa by a loving government in the hope that he might get yellow fever and die. He has married the fascinating Mile. De Com minges, the divorced wife of the young Count Pillet-Will.
 This marriage Is likely to exercise most sinister effect upon General Ricquart' s public career in the Clemenceau cabinet. Republican France feels it a patriotic duty to make it manifest that she is nothing if not democratic and can have nothing in common with the genuine old aristocracy. Now, since General Picquart has deliberately married into the aris- tocracy, may she not at some future time feel that it behooves her to call him to account
 Truly the stars were not in happy as- pect when this gallant soldier was born

ASKS HIGH COURT
TO TAKE UP
GREAT CASE
rBy Associated Press.

BY Associated PreSS.
Washington. Nov. 23.-Attorney
General Bonaparte today filed pc
tition in the supreme court of the
United States urging that court to is
sue a writ of certiorari to the circuit
court of appeals for the 7th district
TO review the judgment of that court
reversing the rulings of Judge Kene-
saw Mountain Lands in the case in
which the Stands rd Oil Company was
fined S29. 9.240.000 on the charge of
violating the antitrust laws.
The attorney general takes the po-
sition that the court of appeals was
without jurisdiction when it re
versed Judge Landis' decision.
The wording of the government
petition indicates that the depart
ment of justice is fully aware of the
courts practice of denying 80 per
cent of such petitions. The court
grants only those in which consti-
tutional questions are involved, and
the attorney general makes strong
effort to have 1t appear that the pres
ent case falls within this group.
Whether" says the petition, the
government is or is not right in its
earnestly urge that the court should
issue the writ. The case is of the
first consequence. The principles to
be decided control the entire mean
ing and purpose of the law and i'm
pair the underlying policy of con
gress.

This announcement, the biggest

eagerly and widely read and extern
siyely commented upon by all papers

Denver Republican and Denver News
made editorial references to the big
proposition and the fact that Grand

The article in The Sentinel went into
details extensively, being the first
public information by the men be-

This was the first announcement that
Grand junction was really to have an

San Francisco, Nov 23.-Tang
Shao vi, the high commissioner of
the Chinese empire to the United
States. who came so many thousand
miles to thank the United States gov
ernment for remitting part of the
Boxer indemnity, is one of the most
brilliant and capable men of the
fiowery kingdom. In fact. he IS
American in many ways, having re-
ceived his early education at Spring
field Mass.
He arrived at Springfield in 1S1 - 4,
when - years old. He became a
guest of the family of T.. c. Gardner;
but later moved to Hartford, Conn.
where he attended the high school,
preparatory to his entrance into Col
umbia University at New York. He
was attending that university when
he was recalled to China in 1881.
Tang Shao vi is not only the bear
er of letters and rare presents to
President Roosevelt and other Off
cials of the American government as
a token of China's esteem and graft
tude, but he is commissioned TO OBJ
serve and absorb all he can concern
ing the financial and commercial sys-
TENS of the United States. so that
upon his return his country may prof
it by what he has learned.
After MS education IN this Coun-
try, Tang Shao vi was made mana
ger of the imperial railways in north
China, and later became ambassador
to Thibet. where he adjusted success
fully a difference between England
and China over the perpetual Thibet-
an question. Later he was made min
lister to England. and then became
mandarin of a Manchurian province
from which he was promoted to the
board of foreign affairs.
At present Tang Shao vi is direct
or general of railways of the Chinese
empire. high commissioner of GUS
toms and a member of the grand
council which governs the nation.
While Tang Shao vi for time was
an ardent progressive. he is now iden-
tilted with those whose motto is Chi
ma for the Chinese" But those who
know him best assert that this is sim
ply diplomacy with him; that he
firmly believes in progress and occi-
dental civilization. but he realizes
that he can hope to bring it about
only by degrees.
That his visit to this country
means more than the mere presenta-
tion of a letter of thanks from the
emperor, is thoroughly understood.
and it is conceded that no man in the
imperial government is better fitted.
not only to master the intricacies of
the American financial system, but
to adopt il to the peculiar conditions
that exist in the flowery kingdom.
