DREYFUS
Through Efforts Of New Pan.
ANA Representative Forgery
Of the Bordlrsau Was Exposed

New York, Nov. 9.-Philip Varilla. the
newly appointed diplomatic agent at
Washington OF the Republic of Panama,
Is we'll known to many persons in New
York and Washington as we'll as In the
inner political circle OF Paris. lie is a
Frenchman by birth and was educated
at the famous French military school at
st. Cyr near Paris. At ST. Cyr he was
a clsssmate OF Emile Dreyfus and took q
prominent part in producing evidence In
the defence OF that officer at the trial
at Rennee. Varilia's brother is the edi-
tor OF Le Matin. one OF the best known
Partisan journals.
Philippe Bunau-varila and Phillip
varills, are different persons" said gem
tleman who knows Panama's representa-
dive at Washington. ''snd IL is the latter
who has been sent 10 represent the Re-
public OF Panama al the National cspi-
tall"
The story of the part Narilla took in
the Dreyfus case is an interesting one. A
dozen years ago Philippe varills set out
on an expedition TO Central Africa. Upon
the eve OF his departure he received a
letter from Dreyfus who bad been one OF
a party OF French engineers TO explore
the country Nsrilla intended 20 visit
ject OF advising him Of the character ~
the country and telling him Of the best
way ~ succeed In his mission.
Narilla kept the letter and hled II away
with his papers. lie returned 10 Paris af-
ter Dreyfus had been convicted and sent
90 Devils island. Al an officers dinner
I'm Paris one evening young subsltern
came IN with the celebrated bordereau
which had been used as the basis of the
evidence TO convict Dreyfus, and the
document was passed around among those
present.
Narilla saw the Importance OF the
document as newspaper story and
asked to be allowed TO take IL until the
following day. lie carried the bordereau
to his home and compared IL with the let
ter he had received from Dreyfus on the
eve OF his journey. To his great surprise
there was not the least similarity in the
chirography.
lie carried the two documents 10 his
brother. the editor % the lie Matin and
the two became convinced that the bor-

the steep embankment directly ir
front of Stinson's motor, which was
manned by Catchy.
The heavy motor struck Elkes,
throwing Catchy and the machine
completely over him, while Stinson,
who was following, crashed into the
wreck.
At the time of the accident Elkes
was well in the lead, having made
new worlds records for the Ave, ten
and fifteen miles. The injured men
were picked UP and sent to the hospi-
tai, Elkes dying on the way.
Stinson was cut severely about the
head and face, while Gatellys foot was
split open by the motor. the big toe
of the right foot being nearly ampu-
