FRENCH POLITICS
All Socialists Don't Seem to Love One
Another

LONDON, June THE Paris corre-
spondent of the Times says: The scene
in the chamber Of deputies on Saturday
during the Juares incident, when NJ.
Brisson, president of the chamber, sus-
pended the sitting and sent for the
military guard to remove M. Richard,
the Socialist deputy who had referred to
some of his colleagues as police spies,
was one of unwonted scandal and vio-
lence. NJ. Brisson, after the business
was resumed. declined to hear Juares,
who interpellated the government on
what he called an attempt to muzzle
deputy" basing his refusal on the
ground that no notice of the inter-
pellation had been given.
A furious uproar followed. NJ Brisson
was pale with anger but kept himself
we'll under control.
Never in the bitterest invective en-
ployed against an opportunist minister
by demagogues of the extreme left was
there greater violence than in the Ian
guage of which NJ. Brisson, who owes
his seat largely to the Socialist vote,
was the unjust object.

IF IT IS TRUE
It Is Very Interesting to Ex-Mrs.
Mcgowan

TRENTON, N. j., June 6.-People re-
siding in the neighborhood of ex-Mayor
Frank A. Magowar's colonial mansion
were awakened about midnight last
night by a disturbance in which the ex-
mayor, his two boys and policeman
were the central figures. Mrs. Magow-
an and her children live next door to the
house occupied by the ex-mayor and
Mrs. Barnes. 1t is claimed that last
night Mcgowan and Mrs. Barnes walked
past the house where Mrs. Mcgowan
and her children reside an unusual num-
ber of times. The boys believed it was
done with the deliberate purpose of an
noying their mother. They began to
shout at Mcgowan and told him to take
Mrs. Barnes into the house, and, 1t is
said, made some complimentary re-
marks about her. Mcgowan walked into
the yard of his former wife's house after
the boys. They ran into the house.
Meanwhile Mrs. Mcgowan sent for
policeman and ordered the arrest of the
ex-mayor. The latter told the police
man to arrest the boys but the police
man declined to do either without a
warrant. The matter was soon quiete0
down by Mcgowan leaving. During the
day there has been some talk of war
rants being issued but at police head
quarters tonight it was said that no such
steps had been taken.

sULTANIC SCHEMES
To Sacrifice His Ministers to Public
Indignation

LONDON, June THE correspondent
of the Standard at Constantinople says:
Acting upon the advice of Izzet Bey, the
sultan is leaving the peace negotiations
wholly in the hands of his ministers
thus evading personal responsibility and
placing himself in a position to sacrifice
them to popular indignation If neces-
sary.

vention on behalf of Greece and had
counteracted the feminine intrigues

Today he lowered the worlds record in

LONDON, June 6-The principal fea-

was the increased activity in American
railway securities, started by German
buying after realizations. The market

pecially favored as the result of the

A decidedly holiday feeling pervades
the city, and the stock exchange ie closed
until Tuesday, when the settlement in
mining shares will begin, to be followed
no Wednesday by the general list.
There is always some difficulty in en-
ploying balances over the holidays, as
the half per cent rate for the week really
averages from one-half to three-quar-
ters. Last week discounts and money
rates fluctuated from day to day. The
very large applications for the new Jap
anese bonds caused some scarcity, but
the lendings by the India council since

OXFORD, June 6-The Philadelphia
cricket ters arrived here at noon today.
No one met them. They spent the after
noon quietly. There does not seem to be
much interest in the match game among
the townspeople, who have been relied
upon to furnish good date. The pres
ent prospects are for fast wicket to-
morrow, although Biddle and one or
two other members Of the American
team have not fully recovered from the
voyage. The men are quite confident
that they will give a good account of
themselves.
The Oxford team, while very much
improved since the opening of the sea-
son, evidently stand in some awe of the
Philadelphians because of their achieve
ments over the Australians last year.
The Philadelphia team for tomorrow,
considering the arrangements tonight.
will consist Of Bailey. Biddle, Bohlen.
Clark. Coates. King, Lester, Patterson,
Ralston, Thayer and Wood. The Amer
lean visitors are pretty generally ex-
pected to win. 1t is also believed that
later on they will defeat Cambridge, but
it is not thought they will be equally
successful in other matches. Their pro-
gram is ambitious but it does not in
clude an all-England or representative
match, as they will meet only the best
players in the respective county teams.
This is doubtless a wise step on their
part, though disappointing to English
cricketers, who would have liked to see
what Philadelphia could accomplish
against Englands finest eleven.
Apropos of the visit, Prince Ran Jit
Sinhji. one of the most popular cricket
ers in England, said yesterday to rep
resentative of the Associated Press:
There is of course good deal Of ter
est felt in the visit of the Americans, and
this will undoubtedly increase as their
tour lengthens Their quality as team
will not have been tested in the most
effective way, because they do not in
tend to play any representative match.
1 shall meet them when playing for my
county at Brighton, June II and 10. If
I am not engaged in any county match
at the time they play Marylebone at
Lords I shall meet them again, playing
them there for the home team.
"At Bristol they will meet DR.. Grace.
So far as the Oxford and Cambridge
teams are concerned, the Philadelphia
players may not find them very strong
opponents, but unless the Americans
sre thoroughly capable team they VIII
have very little chance against them"
