THE HUMBERT SWINDLE
Comes Up in French Deputies-Vote OF
Confidence in Government.

Paris. June 27.-The Humbert case
was brought up in the Chamber or
Deputies. today, when NJ. Mirman.
(SocialisD interpellated the govern
n1ent on the subject. He wanted to
know why the then minister of JUS
tice had rot interviewed until May 5:
V nv measures had not been taken pre-
viously to arrest the authors of the
colossal swindle and why the then
minister Of finance, NJ. CaillauX, had
not given orders to collect the 10000
600 francs (S2.0O0,000) succession duty
which the state had no right to claim
on the heritage.
M. Firman Faurc (NatiinalisD, at
tackled Attorney General Bullet.
After several other deputies had
spoken, NJ. Vale, the present minister
of Justice, declared that the attitude
Of Attorney General Bulot had been
irrenroachable He (Nalle) was con-
fident that Madame Humbert would be
arrested and when the case was tried
there would be many surprises and
lovers of scandal would have ample
satisfaction. The affair, however, had
no political character, but was purely
judicial. The minister then asked the
chamber to say if it retained conf
dence in him.
The minister's remark was greeted
with cheers. and the Chamber, 493 to
70 passe6 n vote of confidence in the
Government in the following terms:
The Chamber expresses confidence
that the government will prosecute
energetically all the culprits IN the
Humbert affair and give it the purely
judicial consequences involved therein.
While the debate was proceeding III
the Chamber a crowd of several thou
sand persons was witnessing the re-
movaI of the famous safe from the
Humbert residence on the Avenue De
La Grande Armee to an auction room.
Legal functionaries watched the lower
ing of the safe by pulleys from the
upper story. 1t weighed 5000 POUNDS.

STRANGE lNACTiON
Of the Dominion Authorities in the
Gaynor and Green Case.

Washington, June 27.-Considerable
surprise has been expressed by promi-
lent lawyers in this city with reference
to the inactment of the Canadian au-
thorities in acting upon the application
10 extradite Green and Gaynor. /f
The attention of the attorney general
has been called to the fact that some of
the principal officials in Canada who
will have to do with the prosecution of
the case are connected professionally
with the counsel representing the de-
PENDANTS and suggestion has been made
to him that the delays in the case
should be made the subject of a re-
monstrance to the Canadian authorities
through diplomatic channels.
At the department Of justice no state
ment will be made concerning the mat
ter. except to say that the department
does not believe the Canadian govern
ment will permit the unusual compli-
cations SURROUNDING the case to cause
it to ignore dts treaty obligations in the
matter.

EMPEROR AT THE WHEEL.
The Meteor Led the CiceIy but Loses
on Time Allowance.

KEEL June 27.--Emperor Williams
American built schooner-yacht Meteor
with the Emperor himself on board
and steering most Of the time, finished
Z minutes and 20 seconds ahead Of the
Cicely in the large schooner race held
here, today, in connection with the re-
gatta. The Cicely Is owned by Cecil
Quentin of England, and was designed
by Fife. Under her time allowance,
however, the Cicely claims the race by
minute and II seconds. The Judges
have reserved their decision because a
protest entered by M. Guilleamme, the
owner of the Clara, which was also IN
the race, who AYERS that the rules re-
quired the Cicely to carry two anchors
at her bow instead of one.
The race will be given to the Cicely
unless she is ruled out.
The Empress and Fraulein Gerstoff,
enc of her ladies in waiting, were in
board the Meteor during the race.
The contest was a trial between Eng
lish built boats. The Meteor, the Idu-
ma, belonging to the Empress. the las
ca and the Northwest are American
built yachts, while the Cicely and the
Cicely and the Clara are of English
construction. Some of the best Eng
lish sailing talent was in command; the
Cicely was sailed by Capt Wringe, and
the Meteor, whose crew is largely Eng
lish, by Capt. Parker. Henry Barley
OF New York, who was associated with
Archibald Harry Smith in designing
the Meteor, saw the race.
The course was 80 miles and mod
crate breeze was blowing.
When the Emperor was not steering
the Meteor he spent most of his time
leaning against the after companion
Hatch.
The Navahoe, formerly owned by
Royal Phelps Carroll of the New York
Yacht Club, and the Comet, recently
presented by Emperor William to the
German navy, were entered for the
race in which the Meteor and the Cice-
ly took part. but as they were yawl-
rugged the Emperor directed that they
sail in separate class. This was done
and the Navahoe and the Comet start
ed over the course at the same time
as did the schooners.
The Navahoe finished 5 minutes and
10 seconds before the Meteor and she
would, consequently, have won the
race had she not been directed to sail
in the separate class.
The Virginia III, owned by Isaac
Stern of New York, won the class four
cup, carrying the Stars and Stripes
across the line minutes and Sc sec
onds ahead of the Mimosa, and 5 min
utes and 26 seconds ahead of the Ho-
Vella. Seven yachts started in this
race. The Virginia ii was manoeuvred
by Tom Draper, from Itchen Village.

RATHER UNREASONABLE.
Boston Brewery Employees Demand
Non-Union Mems Discharge.

Boston. June 27.-Attention is called
to the strike of the brewery employees
of this city which had almost been lost
sight of in the trend of other events
tonight, by a public statement from the
Boston Brewers Association reviewing
the situation from it's standpoint. Inc
association says that the single point
now at issue between employer and en-
ploye is the disposition of the men mr.
ed in since the strike began.
The claim is made that every other
issue has been settled, but the union
demands premptory discharge OF all
men now at work The association
claims that it cannot do this, but offers
to lay off at intervals the new men UNI
til both old and new employees have
had an equal division of employment
and then retain all.
The association says it's offer to refer
the matter to the State Board of arbi-
tration or to a mutual board of arbitra-
ton has been refused and so the strike
goes on.

GARDENERS POLICY
In Dealing with FiIipinos Was as He
Understood Orders.

Manila, June 27.-Capt. Matthew F.
Steele. 9Th Cavalary, testified. today.
before the board which is inquiring into
the charges of cruelty, etc, brought by
Maj Cornelius Gardener, governor of
Tayabas province, against American
officers and soldiers.
CAPT Steele said that among his
brother officers. Major Newberry, for
merly of the S0th Regiment of Volun-
teers, who testified before the board,
Wednesday, was reported to have used
perfectly INSCRIPTIONS method of OBJ
tanning information from the natives.
Once the witness asked him if he had
killed five natives with his own hands
and got the understanding that he had
killed several men with his Hauser
pistol. Witness did not ask the rea-
son for this and was not prepared to
say that Newberry had actually killed
them but that was witness impression
He thought it was Major Gardeners
policy to get a form of civil govern
ment established while the province
was not ready for it.
Major Gardener then testified that his
policy in dealing with the natives of
Tayabas was what he understood was
desired by the authorities at Washing
ton, namely to erase from the minds of
the peacefully inclined the groundless
fears they entertained of the soldiers
and to show them where they were
wrong, in the meanwhile pursuing the

RATHRONE FEELS HURT.
Has Been Misrepresented-Wi Ask
Congress to Help Him.

Washington, June 27.-MajOr Estes
G.. Rathbone. former director general
of posts of cuba, requests The AsSo-
ciated Press to say for him that since
he has been in this country various
newspaper interviews have contained
statements seeming to come from him
which do him an injustice. Some of
them are errors in fact, and others are
faulty differences drawn from known
conditions. He regards these misrep-
reservations as having been inadver-
tently made, but they nevertheless do
him an injustice. His purpose at this
time is to have an investigation by
Congress which will disclose all the
facts regarding his conduct in Cuba
and not revenge on any person or per-
sons who may have injured him.

half of the King. as she did recently at

Jos. Chamberlain, the colonial secre-

1t is also likely that as soon as His
Majesty is pronounced out of danger
London will indulge in general illumi-

1t is not impossible that the abandon
