er, George Carkins, early in January,
In New Hampshire. The warrant has
not yet been served. H
The French law does not permit the
extradition of French citizens, but
provides for their trial and punish

abroad. Roy's brothers point out that

obtained the consent Of his parents,
and they say he will apply for a d.

Family Opposed Marriage.
In addition to declaring that Paul
Roy was forced to shoot Carkins In

that the accusation Of murder brought
I,by Paul's wife Is taken in q spirit OF
revenge because her husband in

They besought him ito return to
France and see their mother, who was
about to enter a private hospital. The
father Of the accused man, Auguste
Roy, is a prominent merchant and
lives at Nenuilly.
Miss Carkins lived in Paris several
years with her aunt, the Baroness Won
Orendorff. She was at one time en-
gagged to Count De Beyeno. Her tai
ent, wealth and beauty gave her ac-
cess to society circles. She finally
rented a villa at Etrea and met Paul
Roy after which, according to her
friends, her misery began.
This afternoon Paul Roy gave out
a statement from his fathers home
at Neuilly, but he would not COM
ment on the allegations against him
made by his wife. Roy says he was
married to Miss Carkins in Boston at
the city hall on October z, 1907. After
the marriage the couple went to New
England.
How il Happened.
"After dinner we planned to go to
Greenland" Roy says. My wife left
the room to dress herself, returning
shortly in a beautiful costume and
wearing a large hat. I told her the
hat was too large to ride comfortably
in an automobile, but this comment
she answered rudely, saying she in

me. / said to her: Then I won't go

Thinking my wife would repent l
waited for a quarter of an hour. I
then walked through the house to the
kitchen, where / found my wife and
Mr.. Carkins in excited conversation.
Suddenly Carklns launched a gross
epithet at me in English and I replied
in French.

making a big noise.

men made the proposition to abolish the
freak department He talked long and
earnestly, and so wen that when the
meeting came TO an end word went over
the country that the era OF the freakless
circus had put in an appearance.
Then was heard a protest. Every mall
brought into the New York offices obiee-
tons 20 the innovation. One New York
paper printed q column editorial on the
passing of the freak and others papers
took up the matter editOrially.
This was too much for the circus men.
They called another meeting, decided to
restore the freaks. and agents were sent
out to find them. The result is that the
freakless circus is further off than ever.

in the practice OF archery, and for a time
spent a portion of each day In drilling a
company of troops The fact that he Is
susceptible to seasickness is said 10 be
the reason why he does not have an
imperial yacht. Whenever it becomes
necessary for him to journey on the
water he travels in a steamer chartered
for the occasion, or utilizes one of the
battle ships Of the japanese navy. Al
though his majesty has a number of
country palaces and game preserves. he
rarely or never visits them. preferring TO
remain at the capital of his empire.
The Empress OF Japan is a noble and
inspiring woman. Her name is Haruko,
and she is the daughter Of noble of
the highest rank. She is two years older
than the Mikado. The sacredness of the
imperial persOnages was shown by an
incident which occurred when it was de-
termined that the court ladies should
adopt European dress. At this time great
difficulty was experienced in getting
clothes 70 fit her imperial majesty. The
profane hands of dressmaker could not
be allowed TO touch the person OF the
Empress. so a court lady had 10 pose as
a model until the garments were grad
ually made to 1T,
The Empress also has poetic inclina-
tiOnS, and is herself the author of several
volumes of verse. One Of the features or
all state occasions is the singing OF a
song by the school children which was
for them by her majesty. Dur
ing the rendition of this song. the chill

In prayer. The Empress takes a great
deal OF interest in all school work, and
has in her private apartments large col
lection Of the best specimens of poetry,

pupils OF the empire,
A story is told which reveals the kindl-
ness of her majesty's character. Some
years ago, when the castle In Tokyo was
the Emperor and Empress were
forced to take temporary quarters in &
nearby house which was old and rather
5ut of repair. Although the proportions
II the place were ample. il was altogether

The Empress the grief which her sub
ects felt because she was denied her
usual eonVeniences- She arose to the oc-
,asiOn by writing a graceful little poem,
n which she said that il mattered little
low she was situated so long as she was
sure OF a home In the hearts OF her
jeOple.
Another story illustrates her majesty's
consideration for the happiness Of chill /
