KEPT FROM THE PUBLIC Newspapers Prevented by the Gov ernment From Obtaining News of Star Chamber Proceedings at First Hand. BERLIN. July 8. Renewed interest in the trial here of Prince Philip sir Eulen burg, who Is charged with perjury in connection with the "round table" scan rials, has been aroused as a result of the publication of sensational rumors that damaging disclosures were made In the taking of evidence at the trial. The court building was filled with people and the police have been strongly reinforced. They do not permit the public to approach liny of the witnesses. A man named Ernest, one of the prin cipal witnesses for the prosecution, oc cupied the stand today. It is reported that he accused Court Councillor Mistle bor. who was at one time private secre tary to the Prince, of attempting to pre vent him giving evidence against the defendant. It is affirmed also that Ernest received letters from the Prince seemingly with the object of influencing his testimony in nn improper manner. HEME UNFIT AS FATHER lloni's Reasons for Asking Custody of Children. FAR IS, July 8. Count Boni de Catel lane, whose former wife was married yes terday In London to Prince Helie de Ha san, the Count's cousin, has opened what promises to be a sensational legal battle for the possession of his three children, the offspring of his marriage with Miss Anna Gould. The step taken by the Count yesterday, which generally has been misunderstood, is merely a prelimi nary skirmish. This was not a formal demand for the ci.stod of the children, but an aftermath of the removal last week by the Count of his son Jm' from the residence of his former wife at Versailles. i nitre Bonnet, counsel for the Count, yesterday afternoon petitioned the court to reindorse his clients' right to retain Jay temporarily on account of the child's Illness and because of the insufficient care he was reclving at Versailles dur ing the absence of his mother. Maitre Bonnet told the correspondent of the Associated Press today that a decid ed move would be made In a few days, when he would ask the court to give the custody of all the children to the Count on the ground that Princess de Sagan was not a suitable protector for them, in asmuch as she is under the complete domination and control of Prince Helte, who is unworthy to hold the position of father to the children. "As proof that Mme. Gould was com pletely dominated by the Prince de Sa gan we will offer her action in traveling in Italy, the Riviera and to England in company with the Prince de Sagan be fore she was married to him, Maitre Bonnet declared. The case will proceed as soon as the Princess de Sagan announces her readi ness to defend her interests." TRIBUTE TO MERIT THANKS ALL FOR LETTERS Mrs. Cleveland Issues . Statement Through the Press. PRINCETON, N. J., July 8. So great has been the number of messages received by Mrs. Cleveland since the death of the former President that she has found It Impossible to make personal response to all of them; therefore she has given to the prees the following communication in acknowledgement of these messages: "In our great grief there have come to my children and myself from all over our country and from other lands, expressions of condolence in our bereavement and of a participation in our sorrow. My heart is touched by these, and by all tributes paid to Mr. Cleveland in word and act. I am deeply grateful for the comfort that God gave us in this way. I regret that the multitude of these messages renders it impossible for me to send a personal word of thanks for each. The press has kindly offered to bear from me that ex pression of my own and my children's gratitude and appreciation, and I hope it will reach ell who have thought of him and of ue. "FRANCES F.

Information re ceived at the State Department today is that the estimated loss of life in the re cent revolution in Paraguay was from 100 to 150 persons, while 100 were wounded.

Marshall's Pro motion Indirectly Due to His Huge Bulk Weight Made Taft His Friend. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, July 7. President Roosevelt rec ognized merit when he appointed Colonel William L. Marshall as Chief of Engineers of the Army. He picked the best man in the engineer corps, and the one who, in the opinion of unbiased officials of the department and of the Army, was most entitled to the promotion, and in rec ognizing the merit uf Colonel Marshall, he placed the corps in the hands of the man most competent to handle it. In de ciding upon Colonel Marshall, the Presi dent was swayed by Secretary Taft, who from the first has favored the selection of Marshall for this post. Colonel Marshall is physically a man of the Taft type, and for that reason there may have been a bond of sympathy be tween then. Last Fall, when the Army riding tests were held, the President threatened to retire Colonel Marshall be cause he failed to make the ride. But the failure was not due to disinclination on the part of the new Chief of Engineers: it was due to the fact that no horse could be found in all the Army stables, who could carry the rotund Colonel for a full day's ride, as he tips the soales at nearly 300 pounds. Saved by Business Men. Colonel Marshall was then in charge of the improvement of New York harbor, and only because of the protest of the commercial bodies of that city did the President reconsider, and allow Colonel Marshall to contyiue his work. The improvement of New York harbor is easily the most important work now in progress under direction of the Chief of Engineers. Colonel Marshall, having long been in charge at New York, and having successfully carried forward the improvement as fast as money was made available, demonstrated his fitness to as sume even a more responsible position, and among officers of the engineer corps he Is declared to be far and away the best equipped in the service. . Had the officers of the corps had the selection of a Chief, Colonel Marshall would have received almost a unanimous vote. Symons Is Disappointed. For a long time it was generally be lieved) that Colonel Thomas W. Symons would be appointed Chief of Engineers. ! The President favored his appointment, and It is said had tentatively promised him the place. On top of that Symorts was indorsed by a large number of Sena tors and Representatives, and by other men of influence. All his life Colonel Symons has been more or less of a poli tician and has trained with politicians. It was therefore easy for him to secure their indorsement. But Colonel Symons or his over-anxious wife, injected too much politics into the Colonel's case, and their extreme activity in the end helped turn the President against him. Colonel Symons was not indorsed by ( Army officers nor by the officials of the War Department. For some time past he has been out of touch with the en gineer corps, having been on detail with the New York State Waterways. Com mission, where he received a handsome salary for services rendered the state. That was the principal reason Army peo ple were opposed to him. They maintained that a man devoting himself entirely to the work of the corps was entitled to first consideration. Resented "Wire Pulling. Moreover, Army officers resented Colo nel Symons continual association with politicians, and objected to his filing a great mass of political indorsements. They wanted to see a Chief of Engineers selected on his merits, and not on ac count of his pull. For a time pull' threat ened to land Symons in the coveted posi tion, but when his wife began to annoy the President by her frequent calls, and when Senators and Representatives who had indorsed the Colonel, were still beset by her entreaties, there was a marked change of sentiment. Another thing that induced the Presi dent to set aside his own preference and defer to the wishes of Secretary Taft was the fact that the new Chief would have but eight months to serve under the present Administration, and would retire in the middle of the next Administration. In other words, his greatest work would come under the next President. . Deference Was Natural. , Because of the utmost harmony existing between the President and Mr. Taft, it was only natural that the former should defer to the wishes of the latter In a Question of this kind, especially when Mr. Taft had such excellent reasons for ask ing the appointment of Colonel Marshall. General Wright, the new Secretary of War, who will be the immediate superior of General Marshall, while not familiar with the merits of the respective cases, became convinced, after hearing all sides. that Colonel Marshall was the best man for the place, and he joined with iait in indorsing the man who has been selected. Convention of Xegro Editors., PITTSBURG, July 8. A call was issued here today for an Eastern Interstate re ero Press Convention, to be held in Pitts burg during the first three days of Sep tember.

TABOO PLACED ON LIQUOR TOBACCO ALSO PROSCRIBED BY PI DELTA KOPPA. Greek Letter Society Takes Radical ' Steps to Guard Morals of Student Members. Adopting the most drastic regulations in the history of the society, the Pi Delta Koppa, which is holding its sixth National conclave in this city, at its business meeting yesterday at the Com mercial Club, decided to take steps to guard the morals of the student mem bers.
