sYvEToNs DEATH A SUICIDE.
Sensational Developments In the
French Deputy's Demise.

The circumstances attending the death
of Deputy Gabriel Syveton. who was found
dead from asphyxiation in his apartments
at Neuilly. December 8, are developing
into domestic drama of startling mag
nitude. Although the authorities refuse
to speak pending their investigation,
many sensational features have already
come to light. It is established that the
wife of M. Syveton was about to apply
for divorce on the grounds of improper
relations between NJ. Syveton and Nine.
Menard, daughter of Nine. Syveton by
a former husband.
Both M. MenaFd and Nine. Syveton had
accused the deputy of these relations, and
a family council took place shortly before
M. SyvetOns death, at which violent
scenes were enacted, M. Menard declaring
that 1t was the duty Of the deputy to put
ton announcing her purpose to sue for a
divorce.
This was the eve Of M. Syveton's trial
for assaulting War Minister Andre in the
chamber of deputies November 4. The
deputy foresaw the public disclosure of
his relations with his wife's daughter
and is declared to have committed suicide
for the purpose of averting the disclos-
ure
The foregoing is interviewer with many
scandalous details, which the police and
public are following with absorbing in
terest.
In the course Of the investigation 1t de-
veloped that M. Syveton had been recefy-
Ing a salary of $4,000 as secretary for
Count Boni de Castellane.

Old party lines are not as well defined
~ they have been in the past. New is
sues have arisen and those who for the

will not cast il as Democrats or Repub-

II is because of this, because of the
amazing difference in the personality of

Roosevelt and unio. veterans.

In 1850 Theodore Roosevelt. as Civil
Service Commissioner. devised the plan
by which veterans Of the war for the
Union who had been dismissed from the
public service with good records could
be rcinstated. A great many veterans
had been discharged without cause dur
ing the previous Democratic administers
ton. Under the rule devised and estab-
lished by Mr.. Roosevelt hundreds OF
them were reinstated in the public ser.
vice during Mr.. McKinley's administers.
ton. As that was more than ten years
before Mr.. Roosevelt was nominated for
Vice President his action could no, Dc
attributed to political motives. Ii was
due to his regard for the veterans and to
desire to remedy Democratic injustice.
