DUELS OVER DREYFUS CASE
The Excitement Over the Affair Has
Not Yet subsidized Loubet Re-

Threatening Nature.

Paris. Juno I'm. Poincare informed
President Loubet this morning that he
would accept the task of forming cabi-
net. He will take the war portfolio in ad-
dition to the presidency of the council
NJ. Meline, in an interview with NJ. Poin-
care strongly urged the latter to form a
cabinet whose main plank will be the set
tlement of the Dreyfus affair 1t Is now be-
lieved a ma jorty of the members of the
chamber of deputies, including many So
cialists, will be contented with an order
of the day censuring General MERCER, the
former minister of war, for the part which
he has taken in the Dreyfus case, instead of
his prosecution. If this could be done 1T
would remove one of the most serious
causes of friction between the factions.
NJ. Poincare conferred with President
Loubet this evening regarding the accep-
lance of NJ. Guillainat, of the Ribot, of the
portfolio of the public instruction. He will
report more fully tomorrow. .#
There is still some doubt whether NJ
Poincare will succeed in forming a minis
try. He wishes M. Ribot and Barthou to
join him, but the radicals object to their
presence in the cabinet. 1t is understood
that NJ. Delcasse will remain at the for
eign office. Private conversation or M
Krantz, minister of war in the retiring cab
met, has been published here which repre-
sents him as still believing that Dreyfus is
guilty. Ii this be the case he is not likely
to appear in the new ministry.
The Dreyfus agitation is far from having
subsidized
Quarrels between officers at Brest, where
Dreyfus will disembark, have just led to
two dues, and numerous mayors have been
discharged for refusing to placard the de-
csion of the court of cassation.
Madame Loubet received last week nu-
merous anonymous threatening letters
written in superfine ineligant penmanship
Some of these were menacing. The writers
threatened that if she accompanied her
husband to the Grand PriX she would re-
turn a widow.
The moderate republicans in the senate

81 "a BABY CLARK CASE
Bella Anderson and George Barrow
Testify

New York, June 15.-Bella Andersen,
alias Carrie Jones, the nurse girl, was
called to the witness stand today in the
trial of George Barrow for the kidnapping
of Marion Clarke. The girl told of the trip
from Brooklyn to Sloatsburg with the
baby. The Barrows were in the same car
where she said she was but they did not
sit with her. In other respects she testi-
fed to the facts of the abduction and of
the flight as she had confessed them after
her arrest.
George Barrow went on the stand in his
own behalf. The first he saw of the Clarke
baby, he said, was on Monday afternoon,
May %. when he met his wife at Jersey
City. She had Carrie Jones and the baby
with her. He had arranged to go to Sloats-
burg with his wife. His wife told him that
the baby was a baby that Carrie Jones
folks had sent down from the country.
The three went to Sloatsburg.
When he read about the kidnapping of
Baby Clarke, he became suspicious and
charged his wife and Carrie Jones with the
crime. They broke down, he said, and
confessed. Then he was confused as to
what to do Carrie Jones refused to take
the baby back then and he could not call
the police in, as he did not want his wife
to be arrested. The direct and cross eXami-
nation of Barrow was finished when court
adjourned. The case will continue to-
morrow.
