Quarantine Employees Mix ed It In Vase Contain ing Ashes of Col. Waring, Who Died of Yellow Fever.

New York, July 29-Stories of nigh l orgies at the Quarantine Station wer' | told yesterday by Arthur Denyse, { witness at the Quarantine investiga tion in the County Court House. The climax of his remarkable tale came in the account of one drinking bout 1T Dr. Doty's private office after tht health officer had left for the night when ashes which were supposed tc be the incinerated remains of Col George Waring, former Street Clean ing Commissioner of this city, had been taken out of a crock on the man. tlepiece and had been thrown away, the crock itself being then used to mix drinks in. pr. Doty characterized this report last night as an absurd fabrication.
 Denyse is the son of a Staten Is- land saloon keeper, who was employ ed in the Associated Press office at the Quarantine for eight years up to 1908 and who did odd jobs for pr. Doty around the Quarantine Station at $10 additional a month.
 Women frequently came from oth- CT parts of Staten Island at night to participate in orgies with Quarantine employees he testified before Com missioner Charles N. Bulger. '"The women would arrive after Dr. Doty had left for the night and the em-
 
 Doty's handsomely furnished office on the second floor, which we called the Green Room I took part in these affairs myself. One night fifteen of us, including two women, went up to the room as usual. I was asked to mix some gin rickeys. I didn't have anything to mix it in. So I used the which was standing on the mantel- piece"
 It was explained to Commissioner Bulger that ex-Street Cleaning Com missioner Waring, after ceasing to serve this city in 1897, had been sent to Cuba the following year, by the United States Government as Sanf- tary. Commissioner, that he had con tracted yellow fever there, and that, returning to this country with the ail- ment, he had been taken to Swinburne Island where he had died of the dis ease and where his body was cre- mated.
 You took dead mans ashes out of their receptacle and used the recep- commissioner.
 ''Oh, yes. 1T threw them on the floor, and they either were blown away by the wind or were swept up next morning. answered the witness, who seemed to be rather proud of the impression he was making.
 The witness said that the crock was made of stone and was about a foot and a half high.
 s'It wasn't labeled with Col War ing's name, but the employees at Guar antine have always known that it contained his ashes," Denyse went on. "After he died and was incinerated the ashes were carried over to Guar antine and placed in the crock"

RICHBERG THINKS
TAFT'S MISTAKEN
Head of Illinois Commission on
Uniform State Laws Says Presi-
dent Evidently Is Not Aware
of What Already Has
Been Accomplish

Chicago. Ill, September 1o.-~John c.
RichberG, president OF the Illinois
Commission on Uniform State Laws
declared to-day that President Taft
is seriously mistaken on the subject
OF uniform divorce. Mr.. Richberg's
statement was brought out by the an
nouncement that Mr.. Taft Will discuss
the divorce question freely while on a
10000 tour. beginning next Fri
day. and will urge the necessity of
a uniform law.
More than 30 per cent. of the States.
according to Mr.. Richberg. already

"cruX of the divorce question-namely,
causes for divorce"
What the President is mistaken
about said Mr.. Richberg, is that ne

oiVorce law was prepared and adopt
ed By congress on divorce COM
posed OF delegates of the respective
States. who were appointed for that
special purpose in 1906. and who for

was subsequently adopted by the con-

State laws These commissioners are

except Nevada
Code Is comprehensive.
lhiS divorce code contains all the
features TO which the President has
made reference. and has provision
that no divorce shall be absolute until
after year has expired from the en-
tering OF the decree, thus absolutely
prohibiting marriage within that ne
Rod in any State. The code has also
most excellent features against what
are known as mig ratory divorces. as
1t requires residence Of two years
before proceedings can be Instituted.
Regarding the cruX of the divorce

The President with ind onptedly. be
doing a good work by calling public
attention to the necessity OF the diff

vorce code as whole, action which
has already been taken by the States
OF New Jersey, Delaware and wiscon-
sin. l trust that the President will see

whole matter before the ministers for

Text Not Made Public.
In accordance with an agreement
made with the German government. no
communication was made to the press
concerning the text of the document,
but it is understood that Germany, in
return for the recognition OF Frances
free hand in Morocco. demands eco
nomic guarantees which amount to
privileges. and which would be unac-
ceptable not only to France. but to al!
the other powers. as they would practi-
cally suppress commercial equality in
Morocco.
1t appears certain that the financial
difficulties OF Germany are partly the
result of the operations of French
finance. The German monetary world
was caught at time when II was un-
able to resist the sudden hostility of tito

that the financial furry has been in :
