BANS ARE POSTED
MARRIAGE OF MADAM GOULD AND
 FRINGE HEIaE.
The Age of Madam Gould is Given at 8 and Prince Helie de sagan
 fn Given at @0.

Paris, June 20.-The marriage bans of Madame Anna Gould, formerly the Countess de Castellane, and Prince Helie de Sagan. cousin of Madame Gould's first husband. were this morn ing posted on the walls of the offices of the mayors of the sixteenth and seventh arrondissments of Paris. in accordance with the law that requires the publication of a marriage in the Arrondissment of each contracting party.
 Neither Madame Gould nor the Prince de Sagan appeared personally in the Mayors offices. friends in each case acting for them.
 The document which in the case of Madame Gould Is preceded by the mar riage declaration of seamstress and followed by that of a butcher, reads as follows:
 This publication of an intended marriage between Marc Pierre Camille Louis Nellie Bosor dc Tallyrand-Perf- gord, Prince de Sagan Rentieri, domi- ciled at No. il Rue SediIlot, eldest son of Charles Guillaume, Frederic Roson de Talleyrand Perigord, Duke de Sagan and Talleyrand. without profession, and Anna Alexandrie Sellliero. deceased and Anna Gould, without profession. domicfled at No. 126 Avenue Malakon, daughter of Jay Gould and Helen Mil- Ter, deceased, divorced from Marie Paul Bonifacc Paul de <Castellane of which acknowledgment has been drawn up, is posted this day on the doors of the Mayors office"
 The document gives the age of Ma dame Gould at B, anu Prince de Sagan as 49. Although the marriage will not take place in France. the French law requires that the bans be published in the place of domlcile. The exact place and the date of the wedding have not yet been disclosed, but 1t will be cele- brated within a fortnight and very quietly, only few friends and rela- lives, including George J. Gould, be- ing present. The religious ceremony will be according to the Protestant rite. Prince Helie has not renounced his Catholic faith.
 Count Boni de Castellane has not yet made any legal move and Mme. Gould's lawyers do not think he will act until after the marriage. They are confident his efforts to secure possession of his children will be futile.

TED URGES COURAGE
WRITES PROSECUTOR sPRECKLE TO
 BE BRAVE.
President Says It ia As Bad to Be Ruled By Plutocracy As By Mob Grafters Must He
 Routed.

San Francisco, Calf, June 2o-The Call today prints letter date June S at the White House from President Roosevelt to Rudolph Spreckles, in which he comments on the local graft prosecutions and urges the prosecutors to keep up the fight" The following is a synopsis of the letter:
 My dear MT. Spreckles--Now and then you and MT. Heney and the others who are associated with you must feel down-hearted when you see men guilty of atrocious crimes who for some cause or other succeeded in escaping punish ment,. especially when you see men Of wealth. of business. and in a sense, Of high social standing. banded together i against you.
 My dear sir, want you to feel that your experience is simply the experi- ence of all of us who are engaged in this fight. There is no form of islander and wicked falsehood which will not as a matter of course be employed against all men engaged in such a struggle.
 Now I do hope that you and your colleagues will treat all this bitterness with entire disregard. It is small con- sequence to you. or to any of us, who are engaged in this work, whether men think well of us personally or not, but of very great concern that we should do the work without flinching, on the one hand, and on the other hand, with out losing our good humored common sense, without becoming angered and irritated to a degree that will in any way cause us to lose our heads"
 "It is just as bad to be ruled by a plutocracy as by a mob. It is pro- foundly un-American, and, in a serial sense, profoundly immoral to stand for or against man, not because he is, or is not a brave. upright and able man, but because he does or does not be- long to a labor union or does not repre- sent the big business interests. In their essence, down at the foundation of things, the ties that are all impor- tant, are those that knit honest men. brave men square dealing men to- gether; and it is a mighty poor sub stitute if We replace these ties by those that bind men together, whether they are good or bad. simply because they follow a particular business, have a given social standing. or belong to a particular organization.
 You have heart breaking difficult ties with which to contend You have to fight not only the banded powers of evil, but alas, that 1t should be said, the supineness and indifference of many good men upon which by jealous sup port you had right to feel that you could reply. Do not be discouraged; do not finch. You are in a fight for plain decency. for the plain democracy of the plain people. who believe in honety, and in their dealing as between man and man. Do not become dis heartened. Keep up the fight.
 Very sincerely yours.
 (Signed.) Theodore Roosevelt" "To Rudolph Spreckles, San Francisco,
 California"

Washington, June 20.-John O.. Schofeld, chief clerk of the War De- pertinent, Is head of the military es- tablishment of the government today. in the absence of Secretary Taft and Assistant Secretary Robert s. Oliver.
 By law the chief clerk of the De- pertinent is authorized to act during the temporary absence of the Secretary and Assistant Secretary. General O1i- yer has gone to Pine Plains. N. F.. where he will witness the military maneuyers there. He will return about the same time MT. Taft does from Yale.
 It Is expected that General Luke E :. Wright, who is to succeed Taft, will be in Washington several days before taking office in order to confer with MT. Taft Regarding pending matters All the bureaus of the War Depart ment are in charge of army officers, so that the advent of General Wright in- to the War Department Is not likely to result in any change in that direction. General Oliver the Assistant secre- tary. will, in all probability, continue in that position until the close of President Roosevelt's present adminis- tration. Hc has been frequently call> ed upon to act as the executive head of the Department and Is familiar with every branch of its work and en- joys close friendship with President Roosevelt. It Is expected Mir. Sch oheld will continue in office under the recent legislation giving him the rank of as- sistant secretary.
 Secretary Taft upon his return to Washington next week is expected to announce his plans for the summer in-- cludlng the location of his headquar-. ters. Mir. Fred w. Carpenter, Mir.
