Detrtment of His
Children.

Count Boni de Castellane against the prin-
cess De SaEan. his former wife, formerly
Miss Anna Gould. for the custody Of his
three children. was continued today. In

RESPONSIBILITY OF MINISTRY
ReichstnG Crowded to Hear Debate,
hut Chancellor Won BuelOw
Remains Away.

BERLIN. Dec. o.-Dr. Holweg,
minister Of the interior, speaking on behalf
Of Chancellor Won Buelow. opened the de-
bate in the Reichstag today on the uues-
ton Of the possible legal regulation OF
ministerial responsibility. Never before
has the Reichstag hambe been so
crowded The minister declared that the
Bundesrath. although fully aware Of the
extraordinary Importance of the constitu-
tional question. was not prepared to do
anything before definite proposals from a
majority Of the Reichstag had been pre-
sented to the council. When this was done
the proposals would be given earnest con-
sheraton.
DR.. Heinrich Mueller, member from Mein-
ingen. then proposed a resolution demand
ing, on behalf of the moderate radicals, the
enactment Of a law providing for minis
terial responsibility. He urged the house
not to allow the constitution, as ii exists
today, to become petrified, and declared
that the members should avail themselves
Of the present opportunity TO bring about
a change.
While Herr Mueller was speaking Prince
August William, the fourth son OF the
emperor and his wife, accompanied by a
numerous suite Of officers and ladies Of the
court, entered the royal gallery, and re-
manned during the rest Of the debate.
Herr Mueller was followed by Herr SPAIN
Of the center party, who supported his
ut~terances.
George Ledebour, socialist. said that
Chancellor Won Buelow had not treated
Parliament in a proper spirit today by re-
naming away. He should have been pres
ent TO hear the demand Of the German
nation that it be treated as an adult, for
it no longer required the guardianship OF
an effete Bureaucracy The personal ele-
ment in politics, said Herr Ledebour, was
the natural accompaniment Of a sham con-
stitution.

TALK OF TANNING RATS

Much

Prisoners are not the only trouble the
police have. Rats also hold their place
in The list Of annoyances and little cares
that infest the day" Of the office force at
the police station.
In the captains private office there are
two holes, near each other, in the ceiling
and daily exhibitions Of aerial gymnasts
by numerous rodents take place whenever
one Of the gray-furred inhabitants OF the
jail takes a notion to 60 from one hole
to the other.
This would prove only entertaining II it
were not for the fact that each flying
leap by the daring little animal s~catters frag-
ments Of plaster down the necks and over
the broad shoulders Of Captains Mostyn
and Dunn, whose easy chairs are immedi-
ately below the leap for life
Regular hunts for rats take place almost
nightly at the Jail and several men have
attained a remarkable degree OF skill in
shooting them with - clliber rifles or
revolvers. Yet the willy rodents do not
seem to decrease in numbers as a result
Of this strenuous kind of treatment and
the police authorities are longing for the
day to come when the innumerable rat
holes that adorn the walls, floors and cell
ings Of the police station will be a thing
Of the past as a result Of repairs 10 the
building. At present it is nothing out OF
the ordinary for a person to have a biz
rat cross his path within two feet of him
in the busiest room Of the jail at any hour
Of the day.
Tanning rats and teaching them to keep
out of the way has been suggested as a
possible method Of abatlng the nuisance,
but it is thought they are so used to being
hunted that no amount Of domestication
will now do any good.

A little charcoal lozenge dissolved on

justly called the scrubbing brush Of the

cast out devils from the system Of man

pected of being the man who shot Mike
Bobich in the religions war at Gar

tify him. Bobich. who was about to
undergo an operation, was very weak,
and the officers were allowed to Ques-
ton him only under the circumstances
of the surgeons in charge of the Aus
TRANS case.
Bobich stated that Mike Smith, or
Prpich. was the man with whom he had
had the argument regarding religion on

who shot him. Bobich states that he
was shot by Adam Smith. so called,

out the story of Prpich, who asserts
that Bobich was shot by Adam Smith
and Joe PaZalez.
Joe PaZalaZ, who was wounded In the
