BONI AS LOVING FATHER ICntinued from First Page.) he renounced this claim "with pleasure," the lawyer announced: "If the Count took such pleasure In renouncing this demand, why did he ever formulate It?" M. C1emnceau justified the interven tion f Ueorgc Gould on the ground of Lis sifter's Interests and said he could nt understand why Mr. Gould was the oi.jcct of such violent attacks. He de nounced De Castellane's conduct during the period of his marriage.

The lawyer then reminded the court that the ral battle was between two men. Count de Castellane and Prince lleiie V Sajran. who hated each other. M.

In his letter of renunciation Count BonI says he Is "Indignant at the perfidious and lying insinuations of the Princess and her family": that George Gould re gards th!s suit simply as a vulgar affair of money and believes that his golden authority can gild the marriage of his sister with a tarnished man."

Diplomatic Washington, notably the representation from Latin-America, is watching with deep concern the outcome of the differ ences between the Argentine Republic and Brazil, whose relations, strained be cause of the Jealousy over naval arma ments, are aggravated by the Intercep tion by the Argentine authorities of an important message sent to its Legation in Santiago. Only very meager informa tion regarding tills late incident, which seems to have stirred the feeling in Brazil to a high pitch, has reached Washington, and this is confined to that of an uno.ica! character. It is said that the dispatch referred to passed over the Argentina lines on its way to Santiago, and after being inter cepted was handed to a man who, being unable to decipher it, deliberately com Iiosed one entirely different in intentions against Argentina. This alleged fabrica tion was read before the Argentine Con gress In secret session to support the vote for armaments. The Brazilian government, when the fact of the false text came to its knowl edge, sent to Argentina and published In the Brazilian papers the false dispatch and the one actually bent, to prove that the dispatch intercepted showed friendly wishes and not hostility to Argentine. In order to do' this, the Brazilian gov ernment found it necessary to publish the key of Its secret correspondence with Its Legation in Santiago. It is said that although this proof was submitted on November 14. no acknowledgement of the mistake has been made by Argentine to Brazil.

NOT DUE TO POISON ALONE Autopsy on Launching Victim Shows Other Causes for Death. VA'LLEJO. Cal., Dec. 1. Acting un der orders from Coroner B. J. Klotx, Dr. Frederick Peterson held an autopsy today on the remains of Mrs. August Rose, who died yesterday after an Ill ness caused by partaking of. the lunch eon provided after the launching of the Prometheus a week ago last Satur day. The autopsy, according to Dr. Peterson, showed that death was not entirely due to ptomaine poisoning. Many organs were found to be dis eased and the woman's delicate health would have rendered more effective any poison introduced Into her system. The diseased organs were all removed and sent to Dr. Martin Fvegensberger. president of the State Board of Health at San Francisco. MOVEMENT ALL POLITICS Railroad Lawyer Causes Clash by Attack on Rate Agitation. KANSAS CITY, Mo.. Dec. 16. The name of Senator La Kollette, of "Wis consin, was injected Into the Missouri rate-hearing In the Federal Court to day, and resulted In a brief clash be tween opposing counsel. William Kills, counsel for the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul P.allroad. had been testifying concerning the relative standing of rates In Wisconsin. He said that, when Mr. La Follette' was making the cam paign for Governor he had attacked rates in Wisconsin and statements had been prepared showing that, generally, local rates were higher In his state than in Iowa. " Later. Mr. Kills said, the same statements and tabulations were used In Iowa to show that rates in that state were higher than in Wis consin. Mr. Iifhmann, attorney for the state, protested. "I am not here to try political Is sues." he said. "This is not a case that politics has anything to do with. I protest against the Interjection of poll tics into It." Mr. Kills observed that from Its In ception the rate movement had been political, and not economic. MUSEUM GETS SPECIMENS (Continued from First Pajre.) specimens we collect. The collection which would thus go to the National Museum would be of unique value. It would, I hope. Include specimens of big game, together with the rare smaller ani mals and birds. Museum to Pay for Naturalist. "I have not the means that would en able me to pay for the field naturalists or the taxidermist and their kit. and the transportation of the specimens and the curing of the same for the National Museum. Of course, the actual hunting of the big game I would want to do my self or have my son do so, but the speci mens will all go to the National Museum, save a very few personal trophies of lit tle scientific value which for that reason I might wish to keep. "Now can you. in view of petting these specimens for the National Museum, ar range for the services of the field taxi dermists, and for the care and the trans portation of the specimens? As ex-President, I should feel that the Natural Mu seum is the museum to which my col lection should go." INQUIRY WILL BE MADE (Continued from First PaitO man, "whether he thinks the Senate has been Insulted." Hale Insisted that everyone had his own opinion on that subject and any one was as able as he to form an opin ion. Tillman Insisted that, according to the President's message. Congress is composed of a lot of "rascals and scoundrels who belong In the peniten tiary." Hale replied that there had been a great deal of "restlessness and indig nation in the Senate." "There Is no restlessness at the White House." retorted Tillman. "They are content and calm as can be there." . Culberson said the message "was a deliberate, studied and gratuitous In sult to the Congress by the President" Alligator Kills Kugle. SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 16.
