SENSATION

Dr. Janseline Writes a Note of Warning in Regard to Increase of Leprosy in France Other News of France.

(By Raoul de Saint Rene.) Paiis, Nov. 10. The discovery of

the treachery of a French naval sub- , lieutenant, Benjamin Ullrno, has canscd a most painful sensation in France ; wnd the papers are full of the case. ; Benjamin Ullmo, of Jewish extraction, is the son of highly respectable and "worthy people at Toulon. j His crime was committed solely, as ' lie has himaeir confessed, in order to1 have money to spend on the woman with whom he lived, a beautiful crea-

tare, known locally as "La. Belle Lison." Ullmo's antecedents are, however, not of the fairest, for even In his school days he got himself into disgrace for stealing the bicycle of a comrade, selling it and spending the proceeds. The story of how Ullmo carried on negotiations with the French Marine department anonymously through the papers and of his dramatic capture, would furnish the material for an exciting novel. Writing first of all to the Ministry rind telling the authorities there that.

lie was in possession of important ; rtato documents for which lie wanted a. large Bum of money, failing which j Jie would sell them to a foreign power, j ?ie expressed his desire that the ans- j wer should bo conveyed to bim ; through the personal or, as they are '

called In Europe the "agony'" columns of a Paris newspaper. The authorities, stealthily laying

their plans to catch the miscreant, did this, and for some time negotiations were carried on in this manner, the venue of the correspondence, which to the ordinary, unsophisticated reader was of the most innocent kind, being then changed to a Toulon paper. j The day was iu this way arranged1 . When an emissary of the Navy Depart-, ment was to meet Ullmo in a lonlyj

place and hand over the money in return for the imprtant documents. The authorities, with a stroke of

liumor which one does not expect to find in the office of a government department, chose as their representalive a professor of boxing. Ullmo met ! him and covered him with a pistol. The boxer, throwing up his arms, showed that he himself was weaponless and refused to do anything until . Ullmo had thrown away his pistol. j The traitor, satisfied, did so. Im-! mediately the : riinient representa-' the with one w ;: t'.irected blow knock-1 cd the man down, and before he could rise again, they were joined by several detectives, who had been hiding in j

the vicinity and the traitor was secured. Xeny. the leader of the men who escaped after several days' imprisonment from the terrible mining catastrophe at Courrieres last year, being unable any more to work as a miner, was given a post as tobacconist and local postmaster by the French Government, lie has now thrown up his post because he says it does not bring him uny thing like the profits which were promised him and not enough to keep Ms family. As a miner he earned four times as much. He has addressed a letter of resignation to the Minister of Finance pointing this out in rather haughty terms and threatening to make some awful disclosures about, the disaster of that time. In the meantime Xeny has accepted an offer to go to New York and lecture.

A man who has for some time been !

living dressed as a woman has been , discovered in a remarkable manner. A ',

gamekeeper of Kiom, France, found a ' woman shooting, and asked her for; her license. She said she was Madame Lamy, artist and pianist at Riom. The gamekeeper, being convinced that the woman was in reality a man. asked the individual to accompany him to the police station. "When they arrived there the gamekeeper's suspicions were found to be justified. The person then confessed that he was a man and that he was a Russian named Leon Lamy, born in 1S45. Why was ho masquerading in women's clothes? Because his son in Algiers had murdered a woman and the plea of insanity was set up. The counsel for the defense alleged that the prisoner suffered from hereditary madness and that he had thus sacrificed himself and gone about in female garb so that his son's counsel could say that the old man was mad since he did this. Dr. Janseline writes a note of warning with regard to the increase of leprosy in France, saying: "Thanks to the increase of means of commimica-
