THE WIND AND NOT BURGLARS.
Broken Window in Governors ONCE
Caused Temporary Excitement.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Jefferson City. Mo-, Jan. 7-When the
State Capitol janitors this morning entered
the Governors Office all appearances in
dicated that for purposes of gain the
more criminal object of rifiing State papers.
burglars had made an entry.
The heavy plate-glass windows on the
west were shattered. Papers were scat
tered over the floor In all manner of con-
fusion. What any burglar could accomplish
by possessing himself of the Governors
private papers was a matter Of conjecture.
Yet differences enough were made. Could
1t be possible that some daring effort had
been made to obtain correspondence relat-
ing to the senatorial campaign other
weighty matter?
The news was communicated to the Gov
ernor and other officials. and detectives were
sent to investigate. There was no getting
around the fact that the windows were
broken open by an external agency. But
a careful analysis Of the situation pointed
out that "the wild west wind" of last night
was responsible The wind must have had
a frightful velocity as IT swept over the
hill upon which the Capitol Is built.
The janitors found an old dry goods box
with which they partially patched up. the
big windows. But when Governor Dockery
attempted to begin his daily labors in be-
half of the State, the wind had not abated
nor had its cutting cold been tempered
The Governor stood 1t as long possible,
but finally was compelled to give 1t up.

HERALD AND THE ST. LOTS REPUBLiC
Geneva. Jan. 7.-(Copyright, 1a19.-Some
interest has been given to the relative mo-
notony Of the life of the fugitive couple
by the fact that NJ. Giron quietly slipped
away this morning after giving the strict
est instructions to the hotel employees not
to divulge his address. The only reply to
inquiries that could be obtained at the Hotel
d'Angleterre was that NJ. Giron said he
would return in couple of days.
1 have been able to ascertain. however,
that NJ. Giron's departure took place in def
erence to the advice of his counsel NJ.
Lachenal. who urged him to leave the
Crown Princess during the divorce proceed
ings. In connection with the divorce such
a course has been urgently demanded by the
Saxon court. NJ. Giron has taken up his
residence at Lausanne.
The Crown Princess of Saxony remains
but in strict seclusion. 1 am told she has
given the fullest powers to arrange every
thing SO that the divorce proceedings can
take place January 30.
She has been induced TO do so by a suit
able financial allowance being offered by
the Saxon royal family. which is keenly
anxious to terminate the painful scandal at
the earliest possible moment.
There was 4 report this afternoon that
NJ. Giron had gone as the Crown Princcss's =
representative to Dresden. but there was
no authentic substantiation Of that. 1t is
untrue that NJ. Giron and the Princess

they keep their apartments at the hotel

in a few weeks.
NJ Giron will be examined by the three
members of the special commission sent
