MADAME CfilLLAUX III COURT ROOM fudge Ttoeatens to Send the Noisy Crowd to Jail During Intense Scenes in Murder Trial. v PARIS. July -21. Feverish excite ment which rose to Mich a pitch that Jadaw Alranal threatened to aend some ot tha spectators to jail, for shouting, marked this afternoon's .session of the trial of Madame Henritte Caillaux for killing- Gaston Calmette. editor of the Figaro. Joseph Caillaux, former minister of finance, took ta atand during a ware of Intense feellnc which waa manifest ed in shouts directed at the- defendant and the witness. The Judge finally rend the law showing that he had authority to aend to Jail any one making a demonstration and threatened to put it Into effect Madame Caillaux sat white faced and tense while her husband testi fied. , Before the former premier went on the stand, the prosecutor read several letters which Caillaux wrote to his present wife while he waa still married to hts first wife. One of these referred to his relation to Henri Rochette. the defaulting banker. An other, contained the statement: "I managed to crush the Income act while pretending to defend it." Friends Shout "Traitor." The scene in court was theatrical while the letters . were being read. Friends of Editor Calmette shouting "Traitor, you are a traitor." A deposition made by President Poincare was read. In it the President said that Caillaux risked him last March and during their conversation said, "If Calmette publishes anything of mine I will kill him." Madame Caillaux's statement that the revolver went off automatically in her hands was contradicted by Francois Concetton. an assistant editor of the Figaro, who said there was no interval between the shots, showing that the prisoner had taken deliberate aim. As Calllatx was leaving the palace of Justice, political enemies made a hostile demonstration the former premier raised his cane to defend himself and was saved by a party of guards who charged the mob and escorted him to his automobile. Wears Black Gown. Madame Caillaux today wore a black gown and a big picture hat with a raven plume. At her breast was an elegant bouquet of red roses. She firmly met the stares of those who looked intently at her. , During tae early testimony she intently leaned forward and parted her lips as some of the testimony seemed unusually damaging to her case. Frequently she rose quickly to her feet calling "out. "No, no ymi must not say that." or "That statement is untrue." -Friends and "relatives of the defendant made their 'sympathy known in every possible way while friends of the slain editor laughed loudly at some of her statements. M. Meet who conducted Madame Caillaux into Calmette's office testified of having previously taken in her card in a sealed envelope without knowing her identity. Within five minutes he heard a shot and rushed in to find the apartment filled with smoke Calmette sprawled upon tha floor and the madame standing in the middle of the room, holding a revolver in her hand. Then she quietly remarked, "Don't be afraid, I am Mme. Caillaux, 1 have only done justice," Nicet testified.

Seaplane to Patrol English Coasi in Lieu of Cruisers

LONDON. July 21. Experiments, the cost of which Is already $100,000, have recently been made by a west of England Aeroplane company with a novel kind of seaplane. This machine is fitted with a marine addition to an aerial propellor. Beneath the boat-like body of the machine are four legs, to which are at tached a number of small, fixed blades. The propeller drives the water against the blades on the legs with sufficient force to lift the body of the machines clear of the surface, at which point the aerial engine is brought into operation and the machine rlseB Into the air. As a matter of fact, the seaplane has not yet got aloft, as the experiments have been confined to a low-powered marine engines, but it now appears feasible to fit the larger engine required. ASK CLUR TO BACK NEW LIGHT PLANS A petition asking the Commercial club committee on public improvements to act as sponsor for the plan to pro rate the cost of a lighting system on Main street among the property owners will be considered by the committee at a meeting tonight. A number of business men interested in seeing the new system installed on this basis have circulated a petition which asks that the public Improve ments committee undertake the cir-. culation of petitions among Main street property owners. These papers would ask that the oity distribute the cost of Installation according to the number of front feet to each piece of property, leaving the maintenance to the city after Installation. What action the committee members will take on the plan Is not known. On the invitation of President Bavis of the board of public works members of the committee will attend the opening of bids on the proposed system at the city building Thursday morning. After the bids have been opened. President Bavis has assured Secretary Jordan that ample time will be given for discussion before the contracts are awarded. Mayor Robbins, members of the board of works and the public improvements committee are anxious to co-operate to get a lighting system that will be in keeping with the size and the Industrial activities of the city. HUERTA BELIEVES u, s, wants; MEXICO PUERTO MEXICO, July 21. With General Huerta safe on board the German cruiser Dresden steaming for Jamaica officials here breathed easier today. Before his departure Huerta gave out a remrakable interview in which he declares his belief that the United States is preparing to annex Mexico. The former dictator was in a Jovial mood. Juaugning ana snaking his fingers at correspondents Huerta said: "President Wilson has attempted more than he can carry out, his Mexican policy will never succeed. He thinks he knows the Mexican people but he does not. I understand them because I am one of them, not one of the aristocrats, but one of the plain people. I am just an Indian, but I know what I am talking about. I believe the United States will intervene in Mexico, Mexico needs a strong man for a ruler. This will be made apparent before six months have elapsed. President Wilson will have to asknowledge it" LEADERS IN IRISH QUESTION GATHER LONDON, July 21. Buckingham Palace became the scene of one of the most Important political conferences of the present era today, when members of the various factions met there to frame ways and means for the settlement-of the Irish question.

It there are no mosquitoes, you can sleep In comfort, you can move back on the front porch for the evenings and you won t need to shock the stars by running about at midnight trying to swat them. Here's an Infallible recipe for ex termination: Clean up. Don't leave a tin can. a other water holding receptacle lying about. If all ponds and pools are stocked with fish and kept clean about the edge, the fish will eat the moiquito eggs as fast as they are laid. OH or screen any standing water. Keep unused barrels or tanks emptied. Fill up mud holes. Keep gutters, drains, etc.. In repair. Drain all marshy places or keep them covered with oil. The mosquito in the wriggler stage breathes through its tall and oil will smother It. Do all this and you can live happily in the land. But the mosquito won't. There won't be any mosquito. The advantage of this machine will be that it will enable the pilot to navigate his craft on the surface of the water when he is forced to descend through lack of petrol, engine failure or other causes. The vessel will have to be constructed to withstand much buffeting. If this seaplane is successful it will probably foreshadow a type of huge, sea-going craft able to travel along the fleet or patrol coasts like a destroyer. Such a machine would also be able to carry a ton or more of ammunition or fuel, and it would enable the lighter duties of aircraft and scouting from ships at sea to be performed by the float type of machine, rising from or alighting on the deck of a battleship.

HAVEN MOST ANSWER IN FEDERAL COORT WASHINGTON, July 21 The final snswer of the department of justice on the New Haven case will be made iaie loday, Attorney General McRejnolda announced at the conclusion of the cabinet meeting. The railroad, it was asserted, will be compelled to stand suit under the Sherman act in the federal court for separation from its subsidiary rail, trolley and steamship lines, and it was expected that criminal prosecution of the officers and directors of the road will follow. President Wilson, it was said, is strongly supporting the attorney general in his stand. At the cabinet meeting Attorney General McReynolds outlined a long period of negotiations between the New Haven and the department of justice In an effort to avoid prosecution and to keep the road from going into the hands of a reeciver. The attorney general placed the failure of this effort squarely upon the heads of the New Haven officials, and he is now fully equipped to turn his heaviest legal guns upon them. Considerable feeling has been arous ed in the cabinet over the revelation that the New Haven officials and di- ; rectors have been bargaining with the department to avoid criminal prosecu tion. ROOSEVELT STAYS AT HOME TO REST OYSTER BAY, N. Y.. July 21. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt announced today that he would not make his usual Wednesday journey tb national Progressive headquarters In New York city for political conferences tomorrow. Instead, he will remain at Sagamore Hill and confer with George W. Perkins, Douglas Robinson and other leaders. The colonel has definitely made nn his mind not to run for governor, and probably will issue a statement to that effect tomorrow. It Is belieied that the colonel has about made up his mind to be a candidate for president -on the Progressive ticket in 1916. He wants Harvey D.

WILSON'S REGIME

MAKES RECORD III DRAVjMGJREATIES Peace ' Pacts Galore Show Use Made of Treaty Power Vested in Federal Govern-f ment. BY SIDNEY K8PEY. WASHINGTON, July 21. President Wilson's will be a record-breaking ad-' ministration so far as the making of treaties Is concerned. Not only hs Secretary of State Bryan succeeded lu binding nearly a score of nations to the United States wlth"peace pacts" that is, pacts which make It certain that the countries Involved will not come to war with the United States in a gust of sudden passion but many other Important treaties are now pending which promise to be extremely significant diplomatic accomplishments. There has been one dominating idea in President Wilson's foreign policy: that of using the treaty-making power vested in the federal government to advance the general peace movement of the world. In the Tart administration the treaty-making power was the keynote of "dollar diplomacy.. Now It is devoted to making tangible and vital the Idealism which has the striking ' central quality of Wllsonian diplomacy. The contrast has been a sharp one, and has not been brought about without harsh discords. Withdraws From Loan. The first one came when President Wilson withdrew the support of the United States from the famous Chinese loan agreement through which "dollar diplomacy" has striven to get a foothold in the Orient The fact that the United States would not stand sponsor for each a financial treaty proved a shock to Wall street and the withdrawal of American bankers from participation in the loan followed as a natural consequence. The action of the administration in this matter caused many nations to draw the conclusion that the United Btates Intended to avoid all "entangling alliances" of the type which treaties are generally supposed to bring about. Imagine the surprise of European governments two months later when Secretary Bryan sent out prospectuses of the "peace treaty" which he hoped they would enter into with the United States. Mr. Bryan outlined the idea that there would be no wars if both parties to an international dispute waited long enough for "angry passions" to subside and allowed an impartial commission to Investigate the causes of their quarrel. . The proposal met with general favor, although it seemed to be regarded as innlcuous. and many nations have already accepted the Bryan idea. Two Treaties Worry. But the chief pacts negotiated by the present administration are the Columbian and Nicaraguan treaties. About both of them violent controversies have arisen. Both vitally affect the future of our relations with LatinAmerica. It is by no means certain that either of them will pass the senate in their present form, for they are regarded in some quarters as dangerous. The Columbian treaty contains the now famous "expression of regret" through which the United States makes amends for the Panama revolution ot 1903, resulting in the creation of a new republic and the formation of the canal zone. Accompanying the expression of regret is a gift of $25,000,000 for losses incurred by Columbia through the uprising. Advocates of the treaty claim that American marines prevented Columbia from suppressing the revolution, that the revolution was inspired from Washington and engineered by agents of the French Panama canal corporation, with William Nelson Cromwell as the chief conspirator. All of these claims are heatedly denied by supporters of the Roosevelt administration, and have been denounced by Colonel Roosevelt in unqualified terms. Helps Columbia. But the most discussed feature of the Columbian treaty is the following clause: "The republic of Columbia shall at all times be at liberty to transport through the inter-oceanic canal its troops, munitions of war and ships of war, even In case of war between Columbia and another country, without paying any charges to the United States." The opponents of the treaty claim that this clause Is in express contradic tion to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty and is at variance with the attitude of the administration as expressed in Its campaign for tolls repeal, when it refused to let even the coastwise shipping of the United States have preferential treatment In the canal. It is extremely doubtful that the senate will allow this clause of the treaty to stand. Equally in doubt Is the clause giving $25,000,000 to the Columbian government as Indemnification for losses Incurred through the Panama revolt. The Nicaraguan treaty is commonly regarded as an echo of "dollar diplomacy," and Secretary of State Bryan has already defended it on the ground that it was almost entirely drawn during the Knox regime In the state department. It gives the United States the i igh of control and the power of reorganizing Nicaraguan finances, in accordance with the Piatt amendment under which the United States- supervised the development of the Cuban republic. The United States pays Nicaragua $3,000,000 under the terms of the treaty and In return acquires perpetual rights to the canal route in the republic and a naval base on the island of Fonseca. The latter Is regarded as an important arm of the de fense of the Panama canal, and Its acquirement is held by the navy to be the most important concession gained by the treaty.
