InormalV I Opcim Its Whiter January 2nd - I Quarrel Began in Church at a Funeral Ceremony. Railway Receipts Stolen Prohibition In Georgia Choice For President at Primaries Pettibone and Moyer Freed Husband Held as Suspect. Gift of Defaulted Bonds Refused. Count Bonl de Castellane of Pails, from whom his wife, who was Miss lAnna Gould of New York, was re ceutly divorced, and Prince Helie de Sugan, who on several occasions was reported to be engaged to Mine. Gould, tad a personal encounter at the Church of St. Pierre de Chaillet, while a service to the memory of Lsdy Stanley Errlngton, a relative of both men, who recently died in Eng land, was In progress. Beginning Inside the church, where Couut Bonl claims the prince insulted both him and the Bucred edifice, it was resumed at the doorway, where Count Bonl, followed by his brother, Count Jean de Castellane, overtook the prince. Count Bonl spat in his cousin's face. Then came the clash of canes, followed by a rough-and-tumble fight on the pavement, which end ed In the gutter, where the men finally were separated by a big butcher. Count Bonl at the moment of Inter vention was holding down the well nigh insensible prince, while Jean, ac cording to eye-wltnesos, was adminis tering to him a severe kicking. When the police arrived the butch er was holding the two principals iu the fight, who were covered with mud. The prince was bleeding profusely from a wound In the right temple where he had been struck by Count Honl's heavy stick. With the butch ers hand on his collar Bonl was har anguing a crowd which had gathered as to why he had spat In the prince's face. The police Invited the two men to go to the station house, and this, after Bonie disputing, they agreeik to. All three of them, bespattered with mud, accompanied the police, and followed by several thousand persons, they marched off to the statlou where they made 'explanations." Both Count Bonl nnd the prince gave their own version of the quar rel, each claiming that the other was th( aggressor, but the prince alone lodged a complaint, charging the brothers with assault. ftobbery of Street Railway Receipts. Two men, Frank Whitney and George Carlisle, are now under arrest tit Rochester. N. Y as a sequel to the robbery by three men in a big black automobile of Sodus Bay cur No. 112, Tuesday, and their escape with a strong box containing $2,8"!1 of the receipts of tho Rochester Street Railway company. Both men are locked up at police headquarters on charges of. grand larceny, first do Bgree, and accused also of complicity in the highway robbery. A third man suspected Is at large, but may be rested any time. The plunder was taken to No. 37 Clifton street, the home of the brother-in-law of one of the party. When the house was searched a suitcase was found In which was all the missing money, a lot of silverware nnd a set of burglar tools. When George Car lisle, later entered the house, and saw the detectives and sheriff's officers, he fired two shots at Detective Wiedman, and In a hand-to hand fight was badly beaten before he surrendered. The detectives were unhurt by the shots. The silverware bears the marks of tho Fifth Avenue hotel In New York city. Drills, bitts, a bottle supposed to contain nitre-glycerine, nnd time fuses, were also found In the room. The police think that Carlisle Is a New York ycggnian, as there have been a number of yeggmen robberies about the this city recently. It. Is also thought Carlisle Is Impli cated in the tecent yeggmen's robbery at Port Byron, N. Y. He is about 20 years old. Whitney Is about, 25. ' Prohibition In Georgia. The most notable feature of the first day of prohibition In Georgia was I'lie refusal of Judge W. R. Newman, lin the United Slates circuit court, at Atlanta, to grant an injunction pending litigation which would pre vent the operation of the prohibition law. Papers in the case wero filed late Tuesday on behalf of two brew cries, one in Chattanooga and the other in Cincinnati. Judge Newman simply filed a memorandum redding bs follows: "After careful consideration an In junction pendente lite will not he granted. -This being true, it Is unnec essary to call on the defendants to show cause." The lawyers for the plaintiffs said Hint the decision of Judge Newman did not have the effort of throwing the proceedings out of court, but that ihe case would come up In the regular order of business and that It was ex pected that it would be ready for trial in about two months. In the meantime prohibition Is in effect In every district of Georgia. Notwithstanding predictions that the enforcement of the law on the first day of the new year, which is a recognized holiday In all parts of the fctate, would bring about disturbances there was not the slightest disorder. The saloonmen In Atlanta evidently believed that the legal aspect of the slt-iation wll not have the effect of putting them back into business, for they were busy ripping out fixtures BONIANDCQUSIN FIGH and carting their goods to storehouses or to railroads for shipment to statei where liquor Is allowed to be sold. Choice For President at Primaries. The Republicans of Ohio will be glv en an opportunity to express by direci vote their choice for candidate foi president at primaries to be held or Feb. 11, when delegates and alter aates to the Republican state conven tlon will bo elected. The conventloE will be held on March 3 and 4 and II will select, In addition to four dele gates at large to the Republican na tional convention, candidates for gov' ernor and other state officers. -The call for the primaries and con tention was 'adopted Thursday bj the Republican state central commit teff after a protracted and lively ses sion. The friends of William H. Taft, secretary of war and candidate for the Republican nomination for presl dent, -were In control of the commit tee, casting 14 votes to 7 for the sup liorters of Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, also an avowed candidate for the presidency. Pettibone and Moyer Freed. An end of the prosecution of (he men charged with the murder ol former Governor Frank Steunenberg except he cases of Harry Orchard and Jack Simpkins, came with the ac quittal at Boise, Ida., of George A Pettibone and the discharge of Charles II. Moyer, president of the Western Federation of Miners, both charged with conspiracy with William D. Hay wood to murder Steunenberg. Moyei will return with Pettihono in a few days to Denver. Hay woo was ac quitted last summer and Moyer will not be tried. The case of Orchard, confessed as sassin of Steunenberg and chief wit ness against Moyer. Haywood and Pettibone. Is In the hands of Prosecut ing Attorney Van Duyn of Canyon county, Idaho. No statement as tc the future procedure In that case has been made, but It will be called during the next term of court at Caldwell, when it will probably be finally dis posed of. Simpkins lis still a fugi tive. Countess of Yarmouth Wants Divorce. The failure of another alliance of the English nobility with an American woman of wealth became public in London when the Countess of Yar mouth, who was Miss Alice Thaw of Pittsburg, a daughter of Mrs. William Thaw and sister of Harry K. Thaw, whose second trial for the murder of Stanford White began Monday In New York city, applied to the di vorce court for an annulment of her marriage to the Earl of Yarmouth. The court has ordered that the pro ceedings be held in camera and the papers are being kept secret. The only Inkling obtainable of the charges preferred is a statement to the effect that the nature of the medical evi dence to be given makes a public hearing Inadvisable. Gift of Defaulted Bonds Refused. Governor Hughes of New York has declined to accept for collection under a law passed by the legislature of 19H5, $1W),000 in defaulted North Carolina stnte bonds. This fact be came known when the committee which offered the bonds made public corespondence with the governor re garding the offer In his reply to the committee's appeal to begin such an action, Governor Hughes says he does not deem It proper for him to accept gifts of claims In order that they may bo prosecuted against a sister state. Tho committee which made the offer js one which for some time has been endeavoring to have the Btate press tho claim for collection on these bonds. Husband Held as Suspect. After many supposed identifications were disproved, the police are satis fled that the woman murdered on the flats that border the Passaic river In Harrison, N. J., was Helena Salter Whit more, who with her husband, Theo dore S. Whltniore, conducted a furn ibhed room house at 2"5 Adams street, Brooklyn. The Identification was made by the woman's sister, Mrs. Susan Schniitter of the Bronx, and corroborated by Mrs. Schmltter'8 husband, Martin, Frank Englert, a friend, and finally by the murdered woman's husband. Whltniore has been detained by the police, and a summons was Issued for Englert. For Instructed Hughes Delegation. In all the political activity Gover nor Hughes is not overlooked, for on Thursday night the Republicans of the Twenty-ninth New York assembly dis trict will give a "dollar dinner," the invitations to which state that it Is in the Interest of an Instructed Hughes delegation to the Republican national convention.

LEGISLATURE Of 1908 James W. Wadswortfiflr., Re Elected Speaker. '" Edwin A. Merritt, Jr., of 8f.'llawrence Leader of Republican Majority and George M. Palmer of Schoharie , 'J Minority Leader Bills Introduced In Senate and Assembly. The New York state legislature of 190S convened Wednesday, completed the necessary organization, heard the tcond annual message of Governor Hughes and adjourned until 8:i!0 p. ill. on Monday, when the real grind 01' .the session was begun. This pre liminary recess is unusually short and indicated the desire of the lenders to get promptly to work and reach Until adjournment at the earliest possible date. Colonel Archie E. Baxter of Che mung, after twelve years service as clerk of the assembly, closed his func tions in that capacity by calling the house to order, presiding during the re-selection of Speaker James W. Wadsworth, Jr., of Livingston county, and then giving way to Ray B. Smith of Onondaga, for six years his assist ant, who was elected clerk in bis place In accordance with the action of Tuesday night's Republican caucus. The prayer at the opening of the senate session was offered by Right Rev. William Croswell Doane, the venerable Protestant Episcopal bishop of Albany. The senate got to work at once, and nearly a score of bills were Intro duced. The assembly consumed sev eral hours in effecting permanent or ganization and drawing seats. Edwin A Merritt, Jr., of St. Law rence will be leader of the Republican m&Jorlty on the assembly floor. This became apparent when In the assign ment of seats he took that which by immemorial custom is accorded to the majority leader. Assemblyman Phillips of Allegany, his rival for the leader ship, will be chairman of the commit tee on judiciary. Assemblyman George M. Palmer of Schoharie, as the choice of the Demo cratic caucus for speakership, re turns after a year's absence from the assembly to the position of minority leader. Chanler and Wadsworth Spoke. Iu opening the session of the sen ate Lieutenant Governor Chanler said a few words of a complimentary character, expressing the hope that. the coming session would prove pleas ant to the members of the senate and profitable for the people. In tho course of his brief speech of acceptance Speaker Wadsworth said: "The people of the state this year had but one channel through which they could express their opinions on the general policy of the state govern ment, and that was In the election of the assembly. This house composed of members chosen in 150 districts throughout the state constitutes the latest and most authoritative expres sion of the public will. We are ex pected to take up our duties promptly and to conduct this session In a man ner befitting the popular branch of the government. With judgment un worped by any outside Influences, ow ing no allegiance save to the people who have sent us here to represent them, we can make the session of 1908 a success." Sixteen bills were Introduced in th6 senate, most of them of more than lo cal Importance. Senator Saxe intro duced the hill of the Walnwrljht Na tional Guard commission, designed to conform the National Guard organiza tion with that of the United States army. The Governor's Recommendations. Among the recommendations iu the overuor'8 message are the follow ing: The available balance or surplus In the state treasury on Sept. 30, 1907, amounted to $13,78,U8.47 as against (11,291,4-15.29 at the end of the previous year. The state debt increased during the last fiscal year from $10,(iU,CG0 tc (17,.21)0,Gi;o. This was due to the is sue of bonds for canal and highway purposes. The amount of canal Improvement work now under contract amounts to (22.4O0.O00, contracts have been awarded during the past year amount lng to (7,007,000, iind plans have been finished for the award of contracts 'amounting to (7,042,ouo. The state engiueer estimates that plans for the entire work will be completed in from ten to twelve months. It is of mani fest 'importance that this work should proceed with all possible speed con sistent with expert care. During the past year 385 miles of state roads have been built, and 5G4 miles in addition have been contract ed for. Plans are ready for 1 ,093 miles of road. It Is understood that of these last bids will lie received in January for 201 miles and that the re maining 892 miles represent roads for which the counties have already ap propiated their "hare of the cost of construction, but for which contracts cannot be let until appropriation of the state's share has been made by the legislature. Banks and Trust Companies. The recent financial disturbance has directed attention to the Importance of amending the law relating to banks and trust companies. There is much reason for gratification in the fact that for the most part our institu tions were found to be sound and that' only a few were compelled to jive way despite an unparalleled stnln. But every practicable means should be adopted to prevent repeti tion ot reiirr-hensiDie practices and to assure the proper management of the financial iustUmiouj chartered and supervised by the state, upon whose stability and prosperity the interests of our people !n every walk of llfo So largely depend In otdrr th-.-.t tne matter might be considered wl'h appropriate prompt v r 1 In the life'ht of expert opinion, . ted six eminent bankers, rep "7, respectively the different . - of institutions, to collate facts, to uceive suggestions and to express their views with reference to neces sary changes In tho law of the state. I submit to you their valuable re port, inviting your most careful con sideration of its recommendations and lilso of those contained in the report of the superintendent of banks. It is advised that there should be an enlargement and more careful defi nition of the powers of the superin tendent of banks with reference to the organization of banks and trust companies. the establishment of branches of either and mergers or the control of one Institution by anotiier. The Insurance Law. The provisions of the Insurance law were designed to insure conservative management and to prevent resort to wasteful methods and the recurrence of the evils which had been dis closed. There is no business more closely related to the welfare of the people, especially to the thrifty nnd provident, and none which Should be more carefully safeguarded. L recom mend to the legislature that, while any suggestions of amendments should receive proper consideration, there should be extreme caution in making any changes, and no changes should be made unless It clearly ap pears that they are needed to con serve the interests of the policy liold ers. I also call your attention to the ad visability ot providing for the liqui dation under tho supervision of the superintendent of insurance of insol vent Insurance corporations in the same manner as Is proposed for the liquidation of banking institutions. Public Service Commissions. The public service commissions law has provided for the investigation and redress of grievances In connection with the operation of railroad, gas and electrical corporations. The neces sity ot having such an administrative board, with adequate powers, so that complaints may be heard and deter mined upon their merits, nnd that there may be suitable machinery for enforcing the rules of law requiring Impartial nnd proper service upon rea sonable terms, according to the ex igencies of each particular case, can not be gainsaid No change is sug gested In policy or structure, but such amendments as experience may show to be advisable to Improve the text, to facilitate administration or more fully to carry out the Intent, of the act should be supplied. I recommend, however, an enlarge ment of the scope of tho act. In view of the tasks to be assumed with re spect to corporations already under supervision it was not thought best at the outset to extend the act to the dher corporations. It should now be extended to telephone nnd telegraph companies, and they should be brought under appropriate regulation as to rates, service and other matters simi lar to that which obtains In the case of the corporations at present sub ject to the law. Simplified Ballot and Primary Reform. I renew the recommendation for the adoption of a simplified form of bal lot, without the party column, In which the names of candidates for the respective offices shall appear but once grouped under the names of the offices. The urgent need for primary reform Is generally recognized. There is wide difference between effective or ganization in the interest of the party and the misuse of such organization for purely selfish purposes. Agricultural Recommendations. No effort Should be spared to con serve the development of the agricul tural Interests of the state. Impor tant 'provision has been made for in struction In agriculture and In veteri nary science at the colleges establish ed in connection with Cornell univers ity nnd for scientific experimentation at the agricultural experiment sta tion sit Geneva, and through these foundations steadily increasing bene fits will accrue to the people of the slate. One of the most beneficial statutes of recent years Is the tenement 'house act. affecting the conditions under which so many of our people live in the crowded sections of our great cities. I recommend the passage of such supplementary legislation as will strengthen the law. During the past year 4(1,150 acres of forest land have been purchased and contracted for by the land pur chasing board, making the total land held by the style 1,518. 450 acres, of which 1 154, "Nil acres are In tho Adl rondacks nnd the remainder are in the Catskllls. It would be difficult 1e uaine any matter of greater Import ance to the people than the conserva tion of our forests. To this end the state should largely extend Its pur chases and so far as possible avoid the ipcreased cost which will be entailed by delay. I'nder an act at Ihe last session an inquiry Is now In progress through the water supply commission with re gard to tho undeveloped water powers of the state. Means should be pro vided to enable this investigation to be completed with thoroughness. Champlain-Hudson Celebration. Fitting preparations should be marie (for the celebration in the year lltult of the three hundredth anniversaries of the discoveries of lnke Chainplain nnd the Hudson river. The former is an event of interstate anil Interna tional importance, and a commission representing this slate is co-operating with a Vermont commission in per fecting suitlile plans. It is hoped that the federal government will give assistance and that tliron li its offices t(hj government of the Dominion ot Canada and the republic of Franc Will lie Invited to participate. In connection with this celebration the first voyage of Fulton's ste-unboal Hp the Hudson river will also bo commemorated. This subject is in charge of a commission whieh l' c'v lng the matter careful attention, I SHORTER NEWS ITEMS Pithy Paragraphs That Chronicle the Week's Doings.

MOUNT ROYAL SIGHTED. Reported 250 Miles West of Fastnet Light, Ireland. St. John, N. II., Jan. 7. Hope for the safety of the Canadian Pacific steamer Mount Royil, Icng overdue at this port, from Antwerp, was re vived last night by a cable dispatch fiom the Liverpool manager to the head officials of I lie line announcing that a steamer resembling the miss ing vessel had been reported 250 miles west of Fastnet light, southwest of Ireland. The Canadian lMcilic onielals Teel certain that Ihe steamer sighted is the Mount Royal, and the Lake Man itoba has been dispatched from Liver pool to assist her. Some excitement In shipping circles was caused by the report 'that a steam er had been sighted towing another olf Brier island, near the entrance of the Hay of Fumlv. When Brier island was communicated wilh the llghtkeep er said that two two-masted steamers hor.nd up the bay bad passed at " o'clock, but that one was not towing the other, lie further said Unit neith er boat was Mount Royal.
