"On with the dance; let Joy be uncon
flned," as the poet sang;. He did not sing
about street fairs nor carnivals, but it Is
believed he had them in mind when he
wrote the lines. Anyway, the merry
making at the Oriental Ak-Sar-Ben Btreet
fair and carnival is taking on tangible
form, the thousands are spending their
money, throwing confetti, jostling elbows
good naturedly and venting their exuberant
spirits at the great open air enterprise.
The thousand and, one attractions, both
free and otherwise, were enjoyed to the
limit yesterday. There is something to
interest everyone, from the three-throws-for-flve
to the Douglas County Agricultural
society's exhibit. Shows for the musically
inclined, shows for the people who enjoy
myeterious "ana welcd, sights, shows for
those who like to Je 'freaks; liv short, It
Is tho most cosmopolitan city this side of
Ban Francisco, Is the Ak-8ar-Ben carnival
and street fair. '
A pleasing change was wrought on the
grounds yesterday, In that the work of J
installing the shows and boo'ths was carried
on under n full head of steam, so that by
evening the placa was a bee hive of In.
dustry. The afternoon crowd was larger
than, that of the day before and by 9
o'clock 4.5CO hnd passed through the stiles.
Nearly 1,005 -came after 9 o'clock. .....
The free attractions' were' fclven s adver
tised, and mapy pleasant comments were
passed .uO the' merits of this- year s free
attractions. Leonxo, the famous comedy '
Juggler, gave two exhibitions at 3 and 8
p. m. Leonso almost defies the law of
gravitation with his startling feats of bal
ancing. He will appear again today at
the same hours. . The second free act,
given at :S0 and 8:80 p. m., is performed
by Herr Schmidt and Miss Myrtle Hefner.
This act Is pronounced by the critics as
being the climax of all sensational features.
Mr. Schmidt supports on his shoulders a
cycle whirl upparatuwetghing over a ton
und Inside of wfctliia a saucer track on
which Miss Heffier fides at top speed on
a IJcycle.
yascatnl gives at 4 and 9 p. m. a novel
exhibition of midair contortion work on a
pedestal. Melville," famed on two contl
' nents, appears at 4:S0 and 9:30 p. m. in
acrobatic work par excellence. All his
work Is done on high rigging and without
nets. He concludes wth a. daring "loop
for life" that makes the cold chills run up
and down the spines of the spectators. In
their entirety ' the free shows have been
pronounced ' as meritorious.
Shows that Cost Money.
Usual "free show In the lobby" fea
tures are given this year and many have
been heard to remark that this feature
alone is worth twice the amount of the
admission.
One of the most interesting of the paid
shows le the ."Old Plantation," whloh was
liberally V patronised last evening, "The
beet show lvet-iaw" Is what everyone
aia as toey, came out of the concession.

dence In tlrll
Cases.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 29. The proceedings of
the Universal Congress of Lawyers and
Jurists, which will continue throughout the
week, are to be conducted with dispatch
and without loss of time. President Brewer
announced that he would hold the congress
strictly to the rules adopted, which pro
vide that discussions must be limited to
fifteen minutes by each speaker, and that
any member desiring to talk upon any
subject must first send his card to the
president, 'stating the fact, or he will not
be recognized ns entitled to a hearing.
The first address of today's session was
delivered by Vice Judge Gustav E. Sobl-
crants of Stockholm, Sweden. He discussed
the subject, "The Preferable Method of
Regulating the Trial of Civil Actions with
Respect to Pleading and Evidence," pre.
sentlng the civil law method of trial and
its merits or demerits as compared with
other methods. .
The following resolution of regret be
cause of the illness of United States Sen
ator Hoar was Introduced by F. II. Busbie
of North Carolina and referred to the com
mittee on resolutions:
The members of the Universal Congress
of I.nwyers and Jurists have heard with
ptofound sorrow of the Illness of that dis
tinguished American, George F.' Hoar of
MaHsachusetts, and desire to give expres
sion of their highest appreciation ot his
eminent learning and ability us a lawyer,
his wisdom., courage and patriotism as a
public senator.
The Hague Conference.
The following resolution, on which the
committee of nations had -reported favor
ably, was adopted by the congress with
unanimity and applause:
Resolved, That the Universal Congress of
Lawyers and Jurists, sympathizing with
all movements to bring about peace among
nations dv international rrienaiy agree
ment, welcomes the announcement of tho
president of the United States that he pro
poses to call a new conference.
The congress voted down a resolution on
which the committee had reported unfavor
ably to the effect that the emperor of
Russia be requested to call the new confer
ence. Exhaustive papers on the subject, "A Re
view of the Four Hague Conft renccs on
Private International Law, the Objects of
the Conferences and Probable Results,"
were presented by Dr. D. Josephus Jltta,
professor In the University of Amsterdam,
and Dr. Melll, professor In the University
of Zurich.
In a brief review of the results attending
The Hague conferences Dr. Jltta said:
Between 1893 and ISM four conferences of
European nations were held at The Hague
In order that a unification of private Inter
national law, that is, the law of private
relations of men of various countries,
might be secured. The conferences have
led to four treaties, namely, on civil proce
dure, validity, of 'marriage, divorce and
guardianship; while four other treaties are
prepared In draft. The most Important
treaties have been put In force In the
Netherlands, France, Germany and Sweden
and as a result the European continent Is
entering upon a new era of prosperity. Tho
conferences have afforded a working body
of men with a form for collective legisla
tion In civil matters, and a valuable be
ginning of such legislation. The partici
pation of all the civilized nations of the
world to further conference that such
legislation may be universally enacted Is a
matter pf serious consideration.
Talk of ' Bsklnsr 'PoiVder.
. The features of today's session of the In
ternational Pure Food congress was the
baking powder discussion in which Dr. J.
Mallett of the University of Virginia,
A. Tressy Morrison of New York City and

Confectioners' association, Hon. F. E. Ladd,
food commissioner of North Dakota, and
Dr. E. N. Eaton, Illinois state analylst.

The five-ln-hand business caused more
than a few breathless moments, but the
merry bark of the Toronto terrier, which
proved his gameness by going in heavily
for the lunch, and the melodious tooting
of the horn, won out over the anxiety.
Mr. A. D. Brandels,. Mr. Fred Meti and
Mr. Edward W. Hart of Council Bluffs
were the ring committee. The Judges were
the same as usual. Mr. W. H. McCord an
nounced that he has given a $100 cup for
the winner of a special class of non-win-nnlng
local roadsters. Tonight the Judges
will engage in a potato race and much
sport Is expected from it. Other special
features also will be upon the card for
(he remaining performances.
One of the prettiest as well as popular
events last night was the riding of Dr. W,
M. Stelner's famous high school horse,
Rex Squirrel, by Miss Byrne, the daughter
of Mr. T. C. Byrne. Dr. Stelner's horse Is
a Jet black beauty and Miss Byrne wore a
smart black habit, with a cap of the Tam
O'Shanter variety. She put the Squirrel
through his gaits and to ragtime In very
neat style. Folk wing this special exhllil
tlon Thomas H. Bass gave another wonder
ful display of the grace and rythym pos
slble in a horse with the peerless Lime-
atone Belle as the medium.
The show opened with the single park
horses In heavy harness, the favorite, Km
press, owned by Crow & Murry, getting
the decision, ' which was hard to reach.
Crelghton, . a former Omaha ' horse,' now
owned by the Pepper stables, took seoond,
while Hoxle B, the Tlchenor stables repre
sentative, with W. H. McCord driving,
carried away the yellow ribbon. , Mr. Car
ting's King Lee and Crow & Murry's Show
Girl pressed the winners close.
-Jack O'Dlamonds, owned by Thomas
Dunn of St, Louis, handled . by Thomas
Baas, drew first in the combination class
and the crowd liked the verdict, though
Rule's Artist Rex and Bon-Ton, an animal
owned by J. B. Iman of South Omaha,
second end third, respectively, were much
admired.
Three local teams entered In the class
suitable for town work, hitched to depot
wagon or broughams, and while Arthur D.
Brandels' coal black geldings, Dick and
Fred, got first money, A. C. Smith's Fire
fly and Erie had them crowded harad.
Dick and Ned, the J. H. Evans pair,
teemed a trifle Blower in action than the
others and with lee, style.
If omens may count for anything poli
ticians might take cognisance of the fact
that Teddy Roosevelt (Don C. Riley of St.
Joseph) won the event for pacing stallions,
mares or geldings. He was the only for
eign entry in the class.
The entrance of Tom Dennlson, driving
Dandy Jee !n his (1,009 speed wagon, met
with a burst of applause and still another
when the red rib boa' was conferred upon
It. W W. Mace, with a striking black
gelding, called Arno, captured third money,
the fourth entry being Ix)uls Russell i
horse, Dick Woodland, driven by Captain
H. W. Dunn.

APOLOGIZES TO M. CURXEY
rina of British Secretary Who Violated
Massachusetts State Law Bemitted.
STATEMENT MADE BY GOVERNOR BATES
Question Sever Raised Before In His
State and Asks that Ambassador
Be Informed of the1
Facts.
B08TON, Sept. 29 After allowing time
for communications In the Phelps-Gurney
case to reach Washington, Governor Bates
today made public various letters bearing
on the subject.
The governor Informed the Stats depart
ment that the judgment against Third Sec.
retary Gurney of the British embassy hnd
been vacated and the fines Imposed are
remljted. He says that Judge Phelps had
expresesd regret to the secretary by letter,
a copy of which he forwarded, together
with a statement by Judge Phelps. Gov
ernor Bates suggested that the attention
of the British ambassador be called to the
breach of the laws of Massachusetts, under
the belief that the ambassador will take
such action as the case may require.
The governor also expresses regret that
want of knowledge of the law has resulted
In an error of Judicial authority in Massa
chusetts and expresses the hope that state.
ment of regret by Judge Phelps may be
recognised as a conclusive disavowal of
any intention of Massachusetts court to
Ignore International law.
Jadare Phelps' Explanation.
The letter ot Judge Phelps to Acting
Governor Guild Is us follows:
LEE, Mass., Sept. 28. Ills Honor, Curtis
Guild, i-ieuienani Governor, Ailing uov
ernor, State House, Boston Sir: in re
sponse to our telegram, I have the honor
to submit the following statement in re
gard to the proceedings In the case of
Hon. Hugh Gurney, tli.ri secretary of his
Britannic majesty's embassy. Mr. Gurney
was arraigned before this court for run
ning an automobile through the streets of
Stockbridge In violation of section 8.
chapter 4i3, of the ucis of '.ne common
wealth of Massachusetts of 1903, which sec
tion Is as follows:
"Section k-Nn automobile or motorcycle
shall be run on any public highway or
private way laid out under the authority
of statutes outside the limits of a city or
inicaiy semea or Dusiness part oi a town
or lire district at a speed exceeding fifteen
miles an hour, or within a city or the
thickly settled or business part of a town
or fire district at a speed exceeding ten
miles an hour. Upon approaching a cross
ing or Intersection ways, also In traversing
a crossing or Intersection and in going
around a corner or a curve in the hlghway,
every person operating an automobile or
motorcycle shall run it at a rate of speed
less than that heretofore specified and
at no time greater than Is reasonable und
proper, having regard tq traffic and the
use of the way and the safety of the public
and in no event exceeding eight miles an
nour.
Mr. Gurney refused to plead to the charge
and I thereupon ordered a plea of "not
guilty" to be entered. Evidence was then
presented, satisfying me beyond a reason.
able doubt that the offense had been com
mitted 3 charged. Accordingly 1 round
Mr. Gurney guilty and sentenced him to
pay a fine of $25.
The statements made by Mr. Ourney be
fore the court were of such a f i-acter as
to appear to me to be a manii". t and In
tentional defiance of Judicial authority and
to be, an I believed and found. In contempt
of tho court. Thereupon I adjudged him so
In contempt and Imposed a tine of $5 there
for. I have since learned that Mr. Gurney, as
secretary of his Britannic majesty's em
bassy, was not liable to arrest for breach
of the laws of this state, or to arraign
ment before this court or within its Juris
diction. I have therefore this day caused the
Judgment of the court to be vacated, the
fines to be remitted and returned. I send
you herewith a letter directed to Mr. Gur
ney expressing my regret for an assump
tion of Jurisdiction from which, as a repre
sentative of the British government, he
was exempt. - Had he been better apprised
of the usages of international law the court
would not have assumed any Jurisdiction in
the premises. The unfortunate cause of
my error was In assuming that the Juris
diction of the court extended to air per
sons found and adjudged to be offenders
against the law. I proceeded In ignorance
of the usages of International law snd of
the provisions of the federal statutes, the
question never before having come before
the court, nor was it so presented to me as
to advise me of my error In the premises.
The action of the court was inspired
wholly and absolutely by a purpose to en
force the law and for the protection of
human life, endangered by the conduct of
Mr. Gurney, as established by the evidence
presented to me.
Letter of Governor Bates.
BOSTON, Sept. 29. The governor's latter
to the Stat department follows:
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, BOS
TON, MASS., Sept. 28, 1834 Hun. Alvey E.
Adee, Secretary of btatr, Washington, 1).
C. Sir: Your telegram of tho 2iith was
received In my absence and rep'led to by
the lieutenant governor, acting governor.
As the result of an investigation made by
him, 1 find that Mr. Gurney, the third sec
retary of the British embassy, was found
guilty by Judge Phelps, Justice of the po
lice court of Lee, In the county of Berk
shire, In the commonwealth, upon a charge
of violation of the law of this state rela
tive to the running of automobiles upon
the public highways. The statement of
Judge Phelps with relation to the proceed
ings In the case I enclose herewith From
this It appears that, under a misappre
hension as to the Jurisdiction of his court
over the person of the defendant, the Jus
tice acted in violation of the United States
statutes In adjudging Mr. Gurney guilty
and In Imposing sentence therefor. Upon
being apprised of his error Judge Phe'ps
ordered the Judgments vacated, the tines
imposed remitted and has requested me to
forward through you to Mr. Gurney his
enclosed letter.
As executive of this commonwealth I
deeply regret that want of knowlrdge of
the law, seldom, If ever. Invoked in our
Inferior courts with rilation to the Im
munity of representatives or a foreign
government has resulted In this error of
judicial authority and I venture to hope
that the explanation and expression of re
gret forwarded herewith by Judge Phelps
may be recognized as a conclusive disa
vowal of any intention on the part of a
member of the Judlclul department of th
government of this state to ignore the
recognized provisions of international 'aw,
or to manifest any disrespect to a repre
sentative of the government of his Brit
tan In majesty.
While the Incident Is greatly to be de
plored, I venture to suggest, as In some de
gree exculpatory of the court In this mat.
ter. that the representatives of foreign gov
ernments who have dwelt among us have
always conducted themselves with such
regard for the laws of the commonwealth
as to hitherto furnish no occasion for the
consideration by our courts of criminal
Jurisdiction of the Immunities to which
sueh foreign representatives are entitled
under the laws of nations and through
which they may find protection when dis
regarding our laws.
I suggest that the attentnn of the am
bassador of his Britannic majesty be In
vited to the breach Of laws of this com
monwealth disclosed In the statement of
Judge Phelps accompanying this letter, be
lieving thit. If his attention In called to
It. ha will take such action as to make
certain that Immunity from prosecution In
our courts shall not permit the safety of
our citizens to be endangered or our laws
to be violated because through Interna
tional comity Jurisdiction of our own tri
bunals is Withheld. Respertfully.
JOHN L. BATES.

The letter of Judge Phelps to Third" Sec
retary Gurney follows:
LEE. Mass., Sept. 28. Hon. Hugh Our
ney, Third Secretary of His Britannic
Majesty's Embassy, Lenox, Mass. Sir:
As Justice of the Lee police court I find
occasion to express my profound regret
that through a misapprehension of the
law, I assumed that the court had Jurls
dlotion over the person of a member of
the embassy of the British government.
Having been apprised of this error and
seeking to make all possible reparation
therefor, the court has vacated and an
nulled all proceedings taken In the matter
of the complaint agulnst yourself and the
erroneous Judgment entered thereon.
I beg further to express my profound
person! regret that I should have been,
without Intentional error, the ' cause of
your own personal vexation and annoyance
or that anything should have occurred
which may have seemed to be. though not
so In fact, a want of respect for the rights
of a representative of the government of
his Britannic mal-sty. Respertfullyv

the State department this afternoon and
was given a careful perusal by the officials.
It was found scarcely to meet the needs
of the department because it does not
set out the details of the Lee affair, which
are required to make out a legal presenta
tion of the case. Therefore the depart
ment has decided to await the report
which Is expected to be forthcoming In
the Department of Justice on this subject
In the course of a day or two. When the
governor's letter Is thus supplemented the
State department will prepare a '.etter to
the. British embassy, embodying therein
only so much of Governor Bates' report a
it may deem expedient. This will be in the
nature of a reply to the complaint made
by Mr. Ralkes, the British secretary of
embassy, and, while expressing regret at
the occurrence, will present a sober state
ment of facts and the testimony adduced
to show that Secretary Gurney did violate
the local law.
