SOLICITOR OPPOSES CARTER’S PLEADING says Prisoner Has No Just Right to Freedom. HOW UNCLE SAM WAS ROBBED “Swag” Was separated Into Three Piles and Carter Divided With His Partners. A Washington special says: Solic itor Goneral Richards tiled with the United States supreme court Tuesday a brief in opposition to the application for bail filed about tea days ago in be half of former Captain Oberlin M. Carter, now confined in the Uuited States penitentiary at Fort Leaven worth, Kas., upon conviction of fraud in connection with harbor improve ments, etc., at Savannah, Ga. After reviewing the history of the case the solicitor general says in part: “The validity of Carter’s conviction and sentence by the courtinartial which alone could try him for crimes .committed a cn officer of the United States army, in violation of the articles of war, has been sustained Ly three civil courts and five judges, not count ing the court before which the matter is now pending for the third time. Carter now applies for the suspension of the just seuteuco of this lawful tri bunal and asks to be released from im prisonment pending the hearing of this second appeal, upon the following grounds: “First, because he is suffering from neurasthenia and is on the verge of nervous collapse by reason of mental anguish, owing to his imprisonment. "Second, because he is innocent of the charges in which he was convicted by the courtinartial and the only way he can establish his innocence, so he says, is by pressing to trial the charges embraced in the Georgia indictment, which he asserts cannot be tried be cause of his absence from Georgia. As to the first ground the solicitor general submits argument tending to show Carter’s sound mental condition and files with the court affidavits of five physicians who examined Carter and affirm in dosing that Carter is>not irow suffering from neurasthenia; that he is not on the verge of norvous col lapse; that his nervous condition is not greater than one would expect to find in a healthy person of Carter’s standing confined in a prison. Affiants further say that Carter is now physically and mentally sound. This affidavit is supplemented by affidavits from the warden and physi ciau of the prison. As to the second ground for release on bail the solicitor general says in part: “Since Carter has dragged into ibis case the fact that he is under indict ment along with Greene and the Gay nors, aud has sworn that the criminal case cannot be tried because of his ab- j sence from Georgia and asserts that he wants to be released so he may de mand- a trial by jury in Georgia, and prepare for it, it is proper for me to call the attention of the court to the fact that if the criminal case cannot be tried without Carter, neither can it be tried without his conspirators, Greene and the Gaynors. Yet, ever ever since the indictment was found in December, 1899, the government has beeu strenuously endeavoring to se cure the removal of Greene and the Gaynors frqm New York to Georgia for trial. Mr. Richards says that the investi gations of the government reveal ibe loss of an aggregate of $2,169,159. Describing the method of Carter’s operations, Mr. Richarls says: “The divisiou of the ‘swag’ was at tended to by Carter personally. When the time came to make a payment un der the contract, Carter, who, located at Savannah, had charge of the work on behalf of the government, would give to the representatives of Green and Gaynor, locally in charge at Sa vannah, a government check sufficient to pay for the labor and materials which actually went into the improve ment, and then he would draw a gov ernment check for the excess of the contract, representing the ‘velvet’— the fruit of the fraudulent conspiracy and putting this in his pocket, would go to New York There he would meet Greene and the Gaynors. Then the division would take place. Carter would be specially allowed out of the amount $75 for traveling expensas and the balance would be divided into thirds, one third going to Carter, one-third to Greene and one-third to Gaynors. In this way Carter drew out of the con spiracy $722,528.02 and of this amount the records of stock brokers in New York show that he invested in stocks and bonds $090,301.85. Eor liis traveling expenses Carter received $575. He made 21 trips to New York on his mission and at the time was in excellent condition to be appointed to St. James. MJRSH A HEROINE. Gives Her Own Life To Save That of a Little Child. At Memphis, Tenn., Tuesday after noon, while attempting to board a street car, Kate Macklin, a fourteen year-old nurse girl, carrying the three year-old child of A. Herzog, was struck and sustained fatal injuries. The girl had hut a moment’s warning. With r * re presence of mind, she threw the child into the middle of the street in time to escape serious injury. BAD FOR PATRICK. New York Attorney Is Held For Murder of fiillionaire Wil liam Rice. Asa result of the United States supreme court decision declaring in va id divorces granted in North Dako ta state in which residence was not bona file, there was a flood of tele grams received in Fargo Tuesday from those likely to be affected. It is be lieved that owing to the practice of rushing home immediately after de crees were granted less than 10 per cent of the divorces allowed daring the recent divorce period would be found valid if contested. Hut of those secured a large per centage wore agreed cases, where ap pearance was made by both parties. Comparatively few had bitter contests, and only in these can the question of residence be raised. Mauy of the lat ter class, however, included distin guished easterners and foreigners. A majority of these have remarried and the decision of the court not only af fects their present status, but the legitimacy of many children born sub sequent to second marriages. This makes the court’s finding far-reaching and creates great auxiety. Applicants for divorce have always been warned against abandoning their residences so quickly, but much of the trouble has beeu caused by di vorce bureaus operated by unscrupu lous local attorneys with branch offices in the east. A majority of the victims have been from New York, although New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the New England states are well repre sented. Notwithstanding that twelve mouths’ residence is now required, there are a number of applicants in Fargo at the present time. MATRIMONIAL TANGLE Wide-Spread Consternation Caus ed By Supreme Court’s Di vorce Decision. At New York Tuesday Justice Je rome hold Albert T. Patrick for the grand jury on a charge of murdering the late Texas millionaire, William Marsh Rice. Justice Jerome, in his decision, said he was satisfied that the testimony of Jones, Rice’s valet, was adequately corroborated “within the meaning of section 899 of the code of criminal pro cedure, by evidence tending to con nect the defendant with the commis sion of the crime charged.” W’illiam W. Cantwell, of Patrick’s counsel, said that application in habeas corpus proceedings would be made iu the case of Morris Meyers and David L. bhort, who are in the Tombs in de fault of 820,000 bail on a charge of forgery in connection with having act ed as witnesses to the alleged forgery of the Rice 1900 will.

EDUCATION LAW VETOED. “Compulsory” Measure Knocked Out By Governor of Missouri.

Every woman loves to think of the 1 time v/hon a soft little body, all her I own, v/iil nestle in her besom, fully I satisfying the yearning which lies in the h°art of every good woman. Eut yet there is a black cloud hovering about the pretty picture in her mind which filis her with terror. The dread of childbirth takes away much of the joy of motherhood. And yet it need not be so. For sometime there ha3 been upon the market, v/eli-knov/n and recommended by physicians, a liniment called g Mer’s ffimi j which makes childbirth as simple and | easy as nature intended it. It is a i strengthening, penetrating liniment, g which the skin readily absorbs.
