LOUIS XvrS DEATH
FRENCH DEPUTIES IN AN UPRoAR
ABOUT 1T.
OCCURRED 1903 YEARS AGO.
BECAUSE THE WORD "ASSAsSINA-
TION, WAS USED

Pnnde m Omium Reigned and the
President Unable to Restore Order.
Started in Discussion of the Anti
Clerical or Law of Association Bill.
Baron ReiIIe Quoted savary ON the
Death of Louis XVI-One Deputy
Announces That His Grandfather
Voted for the Death of the King.
Paris, Feb. 26-To-day's session of the
Chamber of Deputies ended with an up
roarous scene such as has not been wit
messed for many months.
Articles nine, ten and eleven of the law
of associations bill had been adopted and
the deputies were discussing article
twelve, which provides that any associa-
ton composed mainly of foreigners. or
whose headquarters is abroad, be dissolv-
ed by decree.
Baron Reille, a young conservative,
moved an amendment with view of
legalizing any association with French
management.
He quoted from Savary, the member of
the national convention, who st.gmatized
the condemnation of Louis XVI as "as-
sassination"'
Immediately the Radicals and Social
lists burst into loud protest, NJ. Julian
Antoine Simyan, one of the deputies for
Macon, shouting "you have to thank that
assassination for the fact that your
grandfather became a baron" alluding to
Marshal Soult, Baron F HES grandfather.
The r ohfisfs cbsrpad him opd +bo of4
lists hooted him. NJ Cadsnat, a revolu-
tionary socialist, at a retort from NJ.
Jean PHchon, moderate Republican.
pushed to strike him. The ushcrs inter
vened, but M. Cadenat wildly shook his
first at M. Plichon.
A veritable pandemonium reigned A
number of Radicals and Social SITS de-
manded that NJ. Deschanel. the presideh,
should resign for not calling B.--o1 TefiIe
to order.
Later Baron Reille again quoted from
Savary, the interest you have in ven-
geance is nothing in comparison with the
interests of liberty" applying the quota
tion to the anti-Clerical policy Of NJ WAL
deck Rousseau.
Finally, NJ. Deschanel succeeded in put
ting he amendment to vote the Cham
Der rejecting it by $50 votes, against 10.
NJ, Paul Gouzy, Radical Socialist. as
cended the tribune and sail:
Il was absent from the Chamber when
the name assassin was applied to those
who saved the Fatherland and condemned
a traitor TO death, but l take up the in
suit, because my grandfather voted for
the death of Louis XVI"
M. Deschanel stated to the Chamber:
1.-THE lesson to be learned from the Incl
dent is the inconvenience of introducing
historical digressions into the discussions
Of the Chamber Every one ought to re-
frain from evoking the passions and hat
reds which are tearing France asunder.''
The hubbub continued and the Chamber
adjourned until Thursday

by the court. The judge, In delivering ms

which REQUIRES modern plumbing in any
house no matter how humble. This means
that a bath room with all its requirements,

in this regulation, as 1t bars out the build

all the plumbing necessary is placed IN the

The Building Regulations.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Kindly allow me space in which to COM
mend the letter published in a recent issue
of The Star, signed observer" His opin-
ion, so well expressed. of the constant tin
kering with the building regulations in this
city will, L am sure, meet the hearty ap-
proval of the majority of those interested in
the matter. If the Commissioners keep on
changing and amending the regulations at
the rate maintained for the past eight or
ten years 1t will only be a question of a
short time before all but the rich will be
barred from improving their ground. A
few years ago regulation was passed for
bidding the erection of a house less than
sixteen feet front Now. it is well-proven
fact that in certain sections a twelve-foot
house will rent for as much one with a
frontage of twenty feet. while the cost of
construction is materially increased by the
wider frontage. Tenants in these sections
can pay so much rent and no more, regard
less of the size of the house. When this
regulation was passed the writer was agent
for a party who owned a lot fronting
tWenty-four feet on street where rents
were very low. This party desired to erect
two houses on this lot, but was prevented
by the building regulations An appeal was
made to one of the Commissioners and the
case explained. He naively suggested that
my client should purchase eight feet from
the adjoining owner and so obtain the re-
quired frontage, or, If this was not salts

life was saved in each instance If these

irritation and friction.
Regarding the American troops every
thing recently has confirmed my previous
views that the time of the withdrawal can
be determined in Washington without in
any way causing irritation to Cuba and
without unnecessary haste. Months ago in
some places there was complaint about
the presence of the soldiers. and the desire
was to know when they would be with
drawn. Recently | have found few such
complaints. and no eagerness on the part
OF the Cubans. After a time, doubtless
Camp Columbia will be broken up and the
American soldiers in Cuba will not be so

matter for the future, and is not involved
with the measures of the next few months
