DRESSMAKER ta in Woman tska Redress for Betas; Thrown Into French Prison. (Copyright. 1902. by Tress PubliFhlng Co.) PARIS, Nov. 15.

(New York World CablegramSpecial Telegram.) Mrs. Violet Falconer's suit against Rrdfern, the widely known dressmaker of Paris, London and New York, for damages and other redress for false arrest and Imprisonment, has exflted the deepest Interest in the American colony In Paris. Mrs. Falconer, a young American, was arrested at Cherbourg last July as she was about to go aboard a steamer bound for New York, on complaint of Redfern. who charged her with taking her trunk away from the Hotel Chalham, after thoy bad been seized at his suit as security for a bill of $340.

Mrs. Falconer had never accepted the dresses because they did not fit. Despite the protestations, she was not allowed to go aboard the steamer, but was taken to Parts and placed In St. Lazare prison, where the majority of the prisoners are women of low character, and was kept In Jail five daya before she was Interrogated by a magistrate. After Red-fern, somewhat late In the day, withdrew the charge, she was released on $400 ball.

Two daya later her ball was refunded and she was Informed that no further proceedings would be taken. Mrs. Falconer afterward entered suit against Redfern for $3,000 and publication of the Judgment, In the case In fifteen newspapers of her choice. She engaged as counsel Maltre Frederic Attain, an English speaking barrister, known to Americana aa the lawyer who defended Clara Ward In her legal difference with the nrlnce of Chlmay. Redfern's defense was that Mra.

Falconer committed an offense under the French criminal law In removing from the Rotel Chalham trunks which had been seized, and which she had no right to touch. Mrs. Falconer explained that, being Ignorant of the French law, she considered that as long as she left her trunks In Paris she was not transgresaiug the statutes, and that they were only taken two blocks from the hotel, to be stored with the Messrs. Cook. DIVORCE THE CAUSE OF STRIFE Bishop of Undon Takes Strong; Ground Against Marrying of Divorced Peoples (Copyright.

1902, by Pn Publishing Co.) LONDON, Nov. 15. (New York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) Lord Francis Hope's application In the courts of London for a license to marry his cousin has brought the question ot the remarrying of divorced persons to the front again. The bishop of London makes the startling decision that he will visit no church where such a narrylng is permitted. Several other bishops are known to feel the same way, and the prospect Is that soon divorced persons renjarrylng will have to be satisfied with a civil marriage.

The Anglican church Is profoundly disturbed, too, by an address delivered by Dean Fremantle of Rlpon, one of the most prominent of English divines, in which he advocated Ihe' rationalist theory that no i A ntleanlaa In ftnltr writ I nrUUl IB VUr.l arm Ml I a mw. 1 heretical pronouncement, and there Is a strong demand among churchmen that Dean Fremantle be forced to recant or leave tbe church.

Sixteen princesses or their representatives were pres ent.

An appeal was Issued to leading public men begging them to do their utmost to change tbe lax views regarding women prevalent among men of the world. Certain pastors are using their influence to prevent their flocks from visiting seaside places where promiscuous bathing of men, women and children is permitted. At various church conferences lately reaolutiona have been adopted condemning the practice as Immoral, immodest and tending to sap the foundations of the family life. One amall bathing place, on the Baltic, which in former years was visited by only 250 guests, this year had 3.800, because the authorities extensively advertised family bathing.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15. (Speclsl Telegram.) The week Just closed has witnessed the most tremendous shakeout In the history of Wall street. It la thought Morgan and the Standard Oil Interests were back of the process and the result Is a number of Important changes in the financial situation. The so-called speculative public was not injured In the slaughter of prices, and the weaker pools had been forced out of their holdings more than a fortnight ago.

Pools with strong ramifications and Individual traders of great wealth during the last few daya have been compelled to throw great quantities of stock overboard to lighten tbe burden of their speculative shlpa. There Is a well defined theory that when the smoke of battle baa cleared away, Union Pacific control will have changed hands, or at least the Harrlman management will have 'been deposed. The Harrlman policy of holding animated controversy with employee over the matter of wages has created much of the unrest among railroad labor and has displeased other railroad Interests. The Harrlman policy, to 'he surprise of the railroad world, antagonized the St. Paul a Standard Oil property In the latter's effort to get.

through aervice with the Union Pacific, to the point at which the St. Paul was forced to threaten a competitive al liance with the Missouri Pacific and other Oould lines. The Harrlman policy drove President Hayes of the Southern Pacific to resign. The Harrlman policy has led to friction over raffle arrangements at various points. George Gould is said to be at outs with Mr.

Harrlman, notwithstanding the two are on tbe Colorado Fuel proxy committee. For many reasons the Standard Oil interests are said to be dissatisfied with Harrlman's Union Pacific management and to have come to an understanding that it erred when It aided Mr. Harrlman and Kuhn Loeb ft to wrest tbe Northern Pacific control from the Morgan-Hill Interest. For some weeks psst there has been the best of buying of Union Paclflo on tbe scale. NO INTENTION TO EXTEND LINE Marvin Hwsthttt Say a There is No Cos.

Marvin Hugbitt, president of the North western road, made thla emphatic statement today when asked what was to be done with the money to come from 000.000 additional Northwestern stock. It was suggested that rumors were rife that the company was preparing to extend Its lines to the coast, but with this suggestion Mr. Hughltt displayed acant patience. 'When I tell you," he explained, "that there Is no hidden purpose concealed In the proposed issue of new stock I have told the whole story. The circular which the company haa issued relative to the matter is plain and explicit, and behind It there Ilea nothing.

"We took great pains to take the stock holders into our confidence and let them know Just what tbey are going to get. It Is moreover, incorrect to say that this will make $36,000,000 additional funds available at once. The actual Issue will be $10 000 000." PENNSYLVANIAMAKES REPLY Denies Discrimination and Claims An thracite la Different to Gen-- eral Freight. WASHINGTON, Nor. 15.

Freight rates on anthracite cost are declared to bo entirely Just and equitable in the answer which the Pennsylvania Railroad company filed with the Interstate Commerce commission today in response to the com-plrlnt of William R. Hearst of New York. The Pennsylvania makes a general delist ot the allegations against It and points out the difference between the anthracite and bituminous fields that necessitate a difference In the freight schedules. The transportation features, service and other conditions necessarily incident to the carriage of anthracite coal are said to be so substantially dissimilar from the con. ditions Incident to the transportation of other traffic that the freight rates for the latter do not furnish a Just or equitable basis of comparison.

The answer denies any discrimination as to the cost of demtrrage between the different shippers oj antnraclte, and avers that all shippers are deslt with aod treated alike. FREIGHT PILES UP IN YARDS Chlraaro Roads Cannot Poaslhly Hnndlo Bnslnesa Entrusted to Them. CHICAGO. Nov. 15.

Never in the history of Chicago, except during a big atrike, was there such a congestion of freight in the railroad yards of the city as at the present time. The shortsge ot cars and motive power haa become more and more pronounced on account of the moving crops, until an unprecedented condition exists. Shipments of all kinds are days behind and tbe freight offices are fairly deluged with. urgent inquiries from shippers anx lous to learn what haa become ot their goods. So numerous have the demanda become that the local freight agents' asso ciation Is urging shippers to forbear from making inquiries unless goods are perishable or hare been delayed more than a week.

15. (New Tork World CablegramSpecial Telegram.) German competition with the Paris dressmakers has assumed aucb proportions as to threaten ruin to the Parisian modiste monopoly and Its enormoiis profits. Representatives of German houses have lately acquired the habit of coming to Paris to buy the latest models and returning to Berlin to copy them more or less faithfully In Inferior material and sell the latest "Paris creations" at less than half price. As they are at no expense for artists' models and as dress materials are far cheaper in Germany than here the Berlin bouses are about to offer a costume costing the Parisian dressmaker $120 for $50. Imitations are sold by the hundred by German dressmakers and other foreigners.

When the Germans cannot get models in lime to reproduce them they buy bait a dozen original "Paris creations." run over to London, show them to English dressmakers and promise fac-slmlles at a great reduction from the Paris prices. A dress which cost In the French capital $160 was offered by a German dealer at $60 and a $120 mantle f-50. This causes a severe loss to the houses, ss the English firms refuse 4 $120 to a French house a month Oermsn dealer has delivered the so- lng for $50.

(New York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) Punch Is at last moving with the times.

Nothing could exceed tbe astonishment, almost dismay, caused throughout Great Britain by the announcement that the historic vehicle of British humor Is to send an artist, E. T.

WORK FOR THE COURT Government Enitains Colonel Mosby in Fence Removal Matters. RETURNS TO NEBRASKA TO RESUME WORK Civil Baits to Be Brought to Removal of the Fences.

Compel GRAND JURY ALSO HAS GRIST TO GRIND District Attorney Summers Instructed to Act on the Complaints. TO GO INTO MATTER OF WIDOWS CLAIMS Peculiar Methods Adopted by Special Agent Lesser Are Also to Be Brought to Attention of (rand Jury. (From SUIT Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. (Special Tele gram.) Colonel John S.

Mosby, special gent of the general land office, who haa been In Wanhlngton over a month confer- Ing with the president. Secretary Hitch cock and Commissioner Binger Hermann re garding Illegal fencing ot the public domain In Nebraska, will return to Alliance, ext week. When Colonel Mosby was sum moned to Wanhlngton a month ago It va generally supposed In Nebraska that he was at least to be severely eeneured by the secretary of the interior because of his per- Istenl efforts to secure the removal of fences which he deemed Illegally enclosing the public domain. At least thla was tho mpreseion current In Alliance and around about. Colouel Mosby has not been removed, however, nor even censured, but, on tho contrary, his course has met the hearty approval of President Roosevelt nd Secretary Hitchcock and he is, to re turn to Nebraska with hla arms strength- ncd for a further campaign against those who occupy the public land illegally.

Soon after his arrival here President Roosevelt sent for him to explain certain things In relation to the removal of fences. During his visit to the White House Colonel Mosby laid before the executive all the facte in his possession. At the conclusion of the Interview tbe president assured Colonel Mcsby that his course In the matter met with his hearty approval and that he was convinced that the fences complained of must come down and stay down. The law which prohibits the fencing ct public land was passed by congress just prior to the Inauguration of President Cleveland in 1S85 and has been practically dead letter on the statute books for years, with the result that millions of acres ot public land Is now enclosed by fences erected by cattlemen to the detriment of agriculturalists or homesteaders. Meets with Obstruction.

When Colonel Mosby was appointed by President McKlnley this great problem confronted him and hla every move look- ng to the removal ot these fences met with obstructions at every hand. The Taw Vas'upon tbe statute books and he wss Instructed to see that It was administered to the letter. He started In Colorado, and something over a year ago completed his work In that state, obtaining strict con formity to law, all Illegal fences being removed. He was next sent Into Nebraska, and after nearly a year of baa matters so in hand, according to bis statement, that It It only a matter of a few months until the reign of fenced acres will be a thing of the past. ColOnel Mosby has had opposition from congressional rep resentatives of Nebraska in his efforts to execute the laws.

He has also been con fronted with the apathy of( the United States district attorney for Nebraska, without whose co-operation his hands were practically tied, and in addition to that Special Agent Lesser, whose headquarters were at North Platte, seemed very loth to countenance any move which might embarrasa tbe cattlemen. Suits to Be Brought. Tbe appeal of Senators Millard and Diet rich to the president and Secretary Hitchcock to hold up action has been unavailing. Attorney General Knox bas Issued positive instructions to District Attorney W. S.

Summers at Omaha to bring civil suits against cattlemen charged with Ille gal maintenance ot fences, snd Special Agent W. R. Lesser bas been suspended by the general land office and In all probability will be dismissed from that service. On November Mosby addressed letter to Commissioner Hermann, In which he suggested that the Department ot Justice be requested to instruct tbe United States attorney for Nebraska to in- stitute civil suite tor the removal of fences In all cases where affidavit had been filed with him by citizens complaining ot fences. I have sent many such complaints to the district attorney at Omaha." said Colonel Mosby, "but he has taken no action.

Unless he does, the fences will stand and the statute Is a dead letter. If he would only make a move in one case, all who have received notice to remove their fence would remove them Immediately without waiting for a decree of the court to compel them." This letter was formally sent to the at torney general with Colonel Moaby's report. with. the result that Instructions were at once Issued to District Attorney Summers to proceed at once. Call Widows Into Court.

Specific Instructions have been Issued to the district attorney to summon a number of alleged soldiers' widows who It Is charged have made false affidavits covering land entries in the Alliance land district One of these widows' Mrs. Carrie L. Carrl- gan, at present residing in Clarlnda, but whose home Is In Blair, has writ ten a letter to the commissioner of the general land office giving an acrouut of the proceedings when fifty widows went before Fred Hoyt, United States commis sioner, to swear for homestead entry. She says in her letter that tbe women did not read the paper they were to swear to, which was an application for a homestead. Although these widows made oath that these entries were not for the benefit of anyone but themselves, yet she says they were subsequently required to sign leases for somebody else's benefit, but for whose particular benefit she does not know.

By a strange coincidence, however, all entries made on the particular occasion referred to are In a straight line running from the Burlington road to the Elkhorn In Sheridan county and the fence of Bartlett Richards, the cattle king, happens to be located on these entries. The district attorney has been requested to summon Bartlett Richards to tell under oath what he may know ot these alleged violations of law.

FINAL SCORE IS SEVEN 10 NOTHING One Touchdown and a Safetj Accounts for the Oornhnskers' Points. GAME IS PLAYED IN THE RAIN AND MUD Nothing Like Fast Foot Ball Possible or Score Would Be Larger.

KNOX UNABLE TO STOP LINE PLUNGES Advances Ball a Total of 220 Yards, While the Best tha llllunlsaaa Could Do Was Forty-Four. (From a Stan Correspondent. LINCOLN. Nov. 15.

(Special Telegram.) Before an assemblage of S.OOO rain-soaked gridiron enthusiasts today Nebraska university's unbeaten eleven vanquished the strong Knox college team, scoring seven points and maintaining the principle that their own goal lino is forbidden territory on which opponents must tint P)oth teams floundered about In mud. which reached almost to the ankles. The mire prevented any semblance of fast play, but Nchraskn's superior prowess was conclusively proven by the fact that tbe Cornhuskers advanced the ball 220 yards In scrimmage play, while the best Knox could do was forty-four yards. Knox had to iU credit victories over, Notre Damn and Northweatern bv dcclHive scores, and Nebraska's achievement of today, along with previous victories over Minnesota and other strong teams, establishes the prestige of the Cornhuskers aa belonging In tho front rsnk In colleglato tool ball circles of the middle west. The Knox line had a slight advantage In weight over their adversaries, but this wss moro than counterbalanced by the excess of avoirdupois of the Cornhuskers' backs.

Tbe inability ot Knox to stop Nebraska's favorite formation, a revolving mane on tackle with one of the halfbacks carrying the ball, tells succinctly the story of the Galcsburg team's defeat. Occasionally the Knox forwards charged effectively and forced the Cornhuskers to punt, but Nebraska's defense In turn held firm and forced Knox almost Immediately to kick and surrender the oval. A long punt by Benedict early In the first halt was fumbled by Zalusky near his own goal line. Cortelyou, by a spectacular tackle, carried Zealusky over the Knox goal, scoring a safety and giving Nebraska two points. Start Lino Plunging.

After the first klckoff Nebraska Inaugurated a series of line and tackle plunges, which did not end until seventy yards bad been negotiated, and Bender was shoved for a touchdown. Ringer missed the goul. The half ended with the ball on Knox's -five-yard line, but in Nebraska's possession, snd the backs charging along for steady gains. The second halt as almost as uneven ss the first. On a solitary spurt Knox scored gains totaling thirty yarda, but Nebraska's defense stiffened and took the ball on downs.

Twice thereafter Booth's proteges were within Knox's ten-yard line and gain ing steadily, but surrendered (he ball bo- cause or penalties tor noiaing. two minutes before the final whistle the Gales- Jturg aggregation braced and by a display of Spartan spirit captured tho ball on downs, when tbe Cornhuskers bad but two yards to go for another touchdown. Nebraska did not push its protest against Hopkins and Martin, two ot the Knox players. Knox Insisted that both were eleglble and Nebraska entered no further objections. The Thanksgiving day game with Northwestern university in Lincoln concludes Nebraska's schedule.

Coach Booth now predicts that his pupils will go through the season without a defeat and without permitting anyone to score. The lineup today: NEBRASKA 7. O-KNCiX E. Akron T. 81mllr B.
