What Will Become
 of These Children I

Hearst News Special to the Graphic.
 Paris, Dec. 23.--Paul Matter. pro- curator of the Republic, today be- moaned the fact that the courts are unable to give proper parents to the De Castellane children. He said it is question of choosing between two evils and recommended that the chil- dren remain under the care of Prin- cess Anna having constant supervi- sion of a competent professor to pro- tect them from the harmful influence of Prince De Sagan. In the summer they will spend the holidays with NIarQuise De Castellane. He said it is a pity that George or Helen Gould had not taken charge of the children. A verdict will be rendered Wednes- day.

WILL DEm0LISH
 COURT HOUSE ANNEX
Portion of the Big Structure Will be Torn Away to Save Half of the Building Work to Begin at Once -Caving Near Chestnut Street Wednesday Morn ing Results in Bad Damage to Another Warehouse Owned by General R. M. Knox

County Judge James Gould will probably issue an order today, direct ing that the costly annex of the Jef- ferson county court house, which was left standing on the edge of the riy- CT bank by the recent caving, dis mantled and minus it's costly fixtures equipments, etc., be partially torn away. Thirty feet of the building from the rear of the North wall will be removed. The rear bricl1 wall and thirty feet of the side walls will be removed, brick by brick. After the work, which will be in charge of Con- tractor M. M. Bruce, is finished, the part of the building that remains will be supplied with another North wall and used as heretofore. The building was inspected by Contract ors c. F. Dunnington, R. w. Lane, J. W. Sanders and NJ. M. Bruce yester- day and they advised Judge Gould to proceed as stated above.
 They reported that the removal of a portion of the building was the only means of saving a larger part of it, as the river bank would have to cave but two or three feet to cause the rear wall of the big two story struc- ture to slide into the Arkansas river. In removing the rear part of the an- nex the county is left without a court room in which to transact circuit court business. The big circuit court room on the second floor was aban- doned while the river was raging and sessions of that body are being held in the City Hall. The removal of thirty feet of the annex will cost the county between $500 and 5000.
 Fourth Warehouse Damaged.
 Early yesterday morning the river bank, East of Chestnut street, gave way carrying with it the rear wall of the big two story brick warehouse owned by General R. M. Knox. A portion of the roof also went into the river. This is the fourth ware house, owned by General Knox that has sustained damage from the cav ing, only portion of two of the
