Blanche Lamont will be resumed on Monday. Then the lest 200 names of 3600 veuiremen drawn for criminal ser vice will be used, leaving the venire en- tirely exhausted. As it is highly inn probable that three jurors can be secur- ed from the remaining 200 veniremen, it is practically certain that a special venire will have to be drawn to secure the three additional jurors reeded to try Darrant. When Durrants preli- minary examination for the Lamont murder was being held, Rev. J. George Glbscn, pastor of Emanuel Baptist church, in which the murders were committed, was asked by Durrant's counsel if he had ever been pastor of church on Rominy street, London. Gibson said he had not. After his graduation at Edinburgh university, he said he had had charge of church in an outlying London district, but he did not remember the street on which it was located. The purpose of the de- fense in trying to connect Pastor Gibson with the Rominy street church, again renewed lately, Is apparent. The de- feodanPs counsel say that Rev. Jesse Gibson, while pastor of the RomiDy street church, became involved in scandal through attempted familiari- ties " th ladies in his congregation. He was compelled to leave England and came to America. The defendants counsel insinuate that the two Gibsons are one and the same. Captain of De- tectives Lees says that with the aid of the Scotland Yards authorities he he traced Rev. J. George GiDSone career from his youth 10 date, and that there is no blemish on his character. Lees says George Gibson had a class mate named Jesse Gibson, whom the police believe to have been involved in the LordoR church scandal. The bar reDnees of the defendants attempt to | iDjure G bson's character i5 considered by the police, especially when 1t was rememb bered that Gibson has not even been considered material witness. | The defense has never found evidence to connect Gibson even remotely with | the case. ca the night of the NinDle | Williams murder MT. Gibson was in the Vogel residence from o'clock for sever- al hours. It was proved that Miss | Williams left the Vogel residence, where | she was staying, about s o'clock, going | thence to the church. A blood stain wRs found on eu old shoe in the minister's study, but the trail of the murderer to the study wss traced and | the blood etaIn on the shoe is not con- eldered a circumstance in connecting | the pastor with the murder. Late this afternoon Robert Lynch, MT. Gibson's | private secretaiy, said that Jesse and | George Gibson were fellow students at | Spurgeon's college in London. Jesse | Gibson preached for time in Rominy street chapel, but went to Canada, where he is now in charge of church. | Lynch declares Jesse Gibson has always 1 had good reputation, DO scandal ever attaching itself 10 his name.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 25-Acting Secre- tsry McAdoo yesterday made public the facts concsining the refusal of the Cas- tine to salute the French at Tamstave, i Madagascar. There was a misunder- standing between the French officers on shore and the officers of the Csstlne as to the granting of pratiqus. Command CT Perry said he did not eaiute the | French flag because of the naval regulR- ton and of our treaty with Madagascar by which we had recognized that gov ernment as controlling the entire isla and that aS there was no representative of the native government here he could not salute that government, and he fired no salute whatever. When the first boat from the Castine landed the French mil itary authorities on shore, with a great deal Cf excitement, attempted to prevent the officers from approaching or speak ing with our consul and his party, say ing that pratigue had not been given. although Commander Perry had been so informed early in the day. The | French officers oD shore became very much excited and ordered all the Amer
 jeans back to their boat, one ehCviDg 1 Paymaster Dent towards the CastiGe'e bow and calling on the gendarmes to drive of the Americans as intruders. During the incident there was great ex- citement on the part of the French rep- reFentatives and there might have been trouble, but it was averted by the cool ness and good judgment of EUsign Evans | end P9ymaster Dent.
 Commr nder Perry promptly demand ed ample snd full apologies both to his officers and to his crew. The French represeD tatlves came aboard the Castine the next day and made full and unres- erved apologies for their misbehayior Afterw8rd an apology sufficient to the consul was offered and accepted. This closed the incident.
