STUDENTS RIOT
Objecied to Martial Law Being Proclaimed and Had Run
 in With Police
SEVERAL WOUNDED

Prague, Austria. Dec 2,-Martial law was proclaimed in this city to- day. This action on the part of the government served greatly to exas- perate the Czech students of Prague, and they forthwith started rioting. There was sanguinary conflict be- tween them and police and gen. darmes at Weinberg, a suburb Of Prague in which many students were wounded.
 It had been hoped that l. would not be necessary to mar the jubilee of the anniversary of Emperor Francis Joseph's accession to the throne by such drastic steps, but the continued rioting between the Czechs and the Germans of Prague forced the government to issue the procla- nation. The Austrian parliament begins it's fall session at Vienna to- morrow and the Czech deputies threaten to make trouble for the new cabinet organized by Dr Von Biernerth for having consented to the attack upon parliamentary in> stitutions involved by this declara- tion of martial law.

THE SCOVILL ESTATE
Sudden Change iu Affairs When Clerk Marsh Asked 10 Col.
 leci a Judgment.

A very unexpected and rather sen' sational turn took place this after noon in the suit of Edward Scovill against the American Bonding Co or Philadelphia and Benjamin F. Kel- sey. as administrator on the estate or George Scovill, who was the father of Edward Scovill, when Clerk Marsh ot the superior court issued an eXecu- ton against Kelsey and the Bonding Co for an unsatisfied judgment for S2,375.15. This means that eithe; of the defendants will have to pay the amount of the judgment. George Scovill was entitled to a certain sum from the estate of his father. which consisted mostly of stock in the Sco- will Manufacturing Go. He assigned his interests in the estate to his mother, Marcia Scovill. MT Kelsey was appointed administrator of the estate and the American Bonding Co of Philadelphia gave bail for his faithful performance of duty as such.
 NIT oCOFlll CldllHeu ue Wdo uCNoi paid what was due him from the es- tate. and in the course of time insti- tuted proceedings to recover the amount. After the usual delays the case was tried; it went against the administrator, and appeal was taken to the supreme court, but after a while it was withdrawn, which signi- fled the defendant would abide by the action of the superior court. The period for satisfying the judgment expired a few days ago and the de- fendant having taken no further &C., ton and his counsel, Judge Peasley, signifying that nothing further would be done by him, there was nothing left Clerk Marsh to do but issue execution against Kelsey and his bond. The matter seems to be family difference.

John Hendersnn,s Case

? It was said to-day that Mayor Thoms has succeeded in getting John Henderson and his attorney, N R. Bronson. to exchange opinions with him regarding the matter of bene- fits and damages arising to Mir Hen derson by reason of the layout of Clark street. The committee appoint ed by the aldermen to talk this over with them could not pull word out of MT Henderson and Mir Bronson frankly stated that it would be sim ply waste of time to go over the ground with the committee. The committee has not yet reported. but some fine day they do intend to state the facts as they found them and add that they saw no reason why the board should not adhere to it's former action. the award in their judgment being equitable, and in some respects generous.

THAW IS FIGHTING
Ills Case Was on Again in ihe Uojied Siaies Circuit Court
 To day.

Philadelphia, Dec 2.--Tho fight to have Harry K. Thaw. the slayer of Stanford White, taken from Mattea- wan asylum in New York state to Pittsburg, for the purpose of appear ing in bankruptcy proceedings there, was resumed in the United States circuit court of appeals here to-day, when former Governor Stone of Pitts burg, counsel for Roger O'Mara, trus. tee of Thaw's estate in bankruptcy, continued his argument which was begun yesterday MT Stone, who filed the petition taking the case to the appellate court, wants that tribunal to review the decision of Judge Young of the United States court for the western district of Pennsylvania, who dismissed writ of habeas corpus ad testificandum granted during Judge Young's ab- sence in Europe by Judge Archbold of the United States. court for the middle district of Pennsylva aia. The bankruptcy proceedings were origin ally brought in Judge Young's juris- diction.
 Counsel for New York state who is opposing the efforts to have Thaw taken to Pittsburg declares that the desire to have Thaw appear in Pitts burg is only sham and that the Thaw interests have some other ob- ject in view. This is resented by Mir Stone.
 The arguments were concluded to- day and the court held the case un- der advisement.

COUNT BONl'S SUIT
The Court Room Was Crowdej , When the Case Was Re.
 sumed Today.

Paris, Dee 2.-The suit brought by Count Boni de Castellane against the Princess de Sagan, his former wife, for the custody of their chil- dren was continued in this city to- day. At the first hearing last week, counsel for the count declared that the moral atmosphere of the Sagan household was harmful to the chil- dren and that therefore they should be placed in the custody of the Mar. quise de Castellane, the counts mother.
 The court room was more crowded than last week. M. Clemenceau in presenting the princess side of the case to-day emphasized the fact that the courts of France always had de. c!ded that a second marriage did not affect the rights of parents with re- gard to their children, even in cases where this second marriage was with the alleged accomplice nadultery. M. Clemenceau then summed up the intentions of the princess as follows: The count has formally declared that he would withdraw the suit If the princess separated from her husband. The facts that the count had offered to prove were irrelevant and even if they weer established they had no bearing upon the education of the children. Furthermore these allega- tions were denied by the princess. The count was inspired less by solici- tude for the welfare of his children than by personal hatred and financial considerations. The princess since her marriage to her present husband has fulfilled in every way her duty toward her children.
 She had not sought to alienate their affections from their father. On the other hand the count had committed the unpardonable fault of bringing out the Sresent scandal to the detriment of the children; he had used language which humiliated their tutor an din letters to them he had called de Sagan a bandit. NJ. Clemenceau then denied that de Sa. gan since his marriage had in any way interfered with the education of the children. Consequently he asked the court taking into consideration the princess expressed declaration that she never had opposed and would not oppose in the future the exercise fthe counts legal rights over the education of the children provided only that he did not at- tempt to poison their minds, to dis miss the suit

tive examination, to be conducted by the civil service commission. "non-eompetitive" examination means that every one of the many thou sands who may pass the examination will have an equal right to appoint ment, and that personal and political pressure must in the end, as always before. become the determining fac tor with reference to the great body of these temporary employments. In regard to this the director says: Il cannot too earnestly urge that the director of the census be relieved from this unfortunate situation. If these clerks can be appointed as needed in the order certified from that examination tthe order Of rank in passingl, a better service will be secured than will otherwise be possl- ble, the efficiency of the force will be greatly increased, and the cost of the census correspondingly reduced.
 It may be noted, however, that the director does not recommend an eX- animation for the position of enumer- ator. because the service of enumer- ators is required for a brief time only, and, moreover, as 65,00O are necessary it would be practically i'm possible to secure them by examina- tion. For enumerators he recom- mends the appointment of students in educational institutions, either men or women.
 Office Accommodations.
 The other important question is that of proper accommodations for the thirteenth census. The present census building, which is rented by the government, is entirely too small. Other space must be secured, If the government hires rooms in diff ferent sections of the city, wherever they are available, the work will be so scattered that the cost of admin istering 1t will be enormously in- creased The director outlines a plan whereby ¶tively small cost the government can pur- chase the present building and the adjoining land and erect on the new land an additional building. The cost of this plan would be almost en- tirely offset by the saving in rent and by the saving which would result from having the office force in one place where it could be efficiently administered. IT should be noted. moreover, that the land which the director recommends for purchase lies within that territory which the park commission has marked for ul- innate ownership by the government. It can now be secured at an unusu- ally low price.

The services of the evening were Bp-
propriate and impressive throughout.
Two special songs were rendered, one
he Knows, by the choir, and the
other baritone solo, "There Is Green
Hill Far Away" by Bert Bowler
Both were finely rendered and fully APP
preciated by the audience that filed
the house.
The general subject of the memorial
