NJ. CASIMIR -PERIER Deal
FORMER PRESIDENT OF FRANCE
EXPIRES SUDDENLY AT PARIS
OF HEART DISEASE.

Paris. March 13.-M. Casimir-Pe Perier,
ex-president Of France, died suddenly
at IL O'Clock p. m. Of embolism of the
heart at his residence on the Rue
Nitot here. The ex-president had not
been well for two or three days, but
it was supposed he was suffering from
influenza and no great importance
was attached to his indisposition.
Jean Paul Pierre Casimir-Perier was
the son and grandson Of statesmen.
His father, Auguste Casimir-Perier,
was minister of the interior In 1871
and his grandfather was leader OF the
opposition when Louis Philippe as
cended the throne and afterwards was
premier. The ex-president was born
Nov. s, 1S47 After a brilliant career
as a student of literature and history
he joined the militia Of the Aube dur
ing the Franco-Prussian war and when
they were summoned to Paris Casimir-
Perier behaved with such gallantry
that he was mentioned in an order OF
the day and later was decorated with
IHS SlOSS vi IHc LSSloA Va AAohoA' 49,
1874 he was elected to the chamber
of deputies and reelected in 1878.
After the crisis of May, 1877, he was
one of the 363 deputies who refused
to pass vote of confidence in the
Broglie ministry. He became under
secretary of state at the ministry OF
public instruction and retained that
post until the Defaure cabinet went
out of office in 1879. In 1888 M. Cas-
imir-Perier was appointed under Sec
retary of state at the ministry of war
and in 1890 was elected vice president
of the chamber and president of the
budget committee. In the summer OF
1894 he was elected president of the
republic, Immediately after the assas-
sination Of President Carnot His ad
ministration was unpopular and he re-
signed Jan. Is, 1895.

MUCH RlOTiNG IN CONNECTION
WITH STREET CAR STRIKE
AT LOUISVILLE.
DEMONSTRATIONS AT VARIOUS POINTS
MORE THAN A SCORE INJURED
SIX SERIOUSLY, IN FIERCE
ENCOUNTER.

Louisville March 13.-With the aid
OF strikebreakers and the protection
Of the police the Louisville Street Rail-
way company opened partial serv-
ice on four lines. Between fifty and
seventy-five strikebreak 3rs, imported
during the night from ST. Louis and
Cincinnati. were put ON the cars and
with two or three policemen on each
platform made several trips through
the down town district. Even with
the police on board the trouble began
early. The disturbances were nearer
the business center of the city than
heretofore and In one instance brick
was thrown into car from window
In an Office building at Fifth and Main
streets. The missile struck st.
Louis strilIebreaker, injuring him Sc
verely.
But few passengers rode, evidently
preferring to walk In the pouring rain
to taking chances on a car.
Mayor Barth has issued proclama-
ton calling upon the citizens to re-
frain from congregating on the streets
or taking any part in the disorders.
Postal Official on the Scene.
Charles T. Rager. acting as q spe-
cial representative of the second as
sistant postmaster general, has ar
rived here and after conference be-
tween the railway management and
the postal authorities succeeded in
having the mail delivered to certain
suburban towns by special cars. These
cars are placarded with a sign four
feet square labeled "U. 8. Mail"
Following several more or less seri-
Gus strike demonstrations in different
portions Of the city the rioting cul-
minated In an outbreak at Second and
Breckenridge streets between strikers,
strike sympathizers, police and strike
breakers, In which six men are known
to have been seriously injured and a
score or more suffered bruises and
cuts
At 2:30 p. m. the railway company
abandoned its efforts to run cars with
police protection and ordered all cars
into the barns.

BROWNSVILLE INVESTIGATION.
sew Line Of Evidence Brought Out by
Senator Foraker


Senator Foraker,
Washington, March 13.--Aftor show
ng the hostility Ct the people of
Brownsville to negro soldiers Senator
Foraker during the day gave an en-
tiroly new turn to the investigation
Of the affair at that place On Aug. 13
last. He examined Captain kitburn
Of tho Twenty-siXth infantry which
preceded the Twenty-flfth regiment at
Fort Brown, concerning tho penetra-
ton Of steel bullets and the witness
said that a bullet Of the calibcr used
In the Springfield rife could be fired
from Il Mauser rife, bat that its pene
tration would be retarded. He Taught
that the Springfield bullet from a rifle
that had been fred 300 Or 400 times
would not show the imprint Of the
grooves, but If fired from Mauser
the imprint would be shown.
1t Is expected this testimony will
have an important bearing on the in
vestigation, as the committee has had
before it the bullets taken from the
walls of the houses shot up" during
the affray. These bullets are said to
be deeply grooved. They have not
been exhibited in open sessions Of the
committee, but were examined behind
closed doors. Later they were re-
turned to the war department and 1t
Is understood arc now a part of the
exhibit at the eourtmartial in progress
at San Antonio. 1t seemed to be the
purpose Of Senator Foraker to show
by this testimony that the bullets
taken from the walls of houses could
not have been fired from the rifles in
the hands of the negro troops, as these
guns had been used in target practice
for a long time.

nIght Of the killing Of White and take
seats on the Madison avenue side Of

wife Gn,! Acr companions and walked
to the rear Of the room. Noticing the

and was sustained. Eckmyer was ex-
cused.
Mr.. Delmas then moved that Mr..
Jeromes remarks with reference to
the White alibi be stricken out. Mr..
Jerome then asked that the court in
struct the jury that whether or not

anything to do with the case. Justice

Jury to consider nothing but the EVIL
dence.
Mr.. Jerome announced he would
have only two more witnesses as to
facts-A. H. Hummel and his stenog~
rapher-and would then proceed with
the experts. How long the examina-
tion of these would take he could not
say. A stipulation then was made
that each side should have one day
for the summing up. Mr.. Jerome said
he would do everything he could to
hurry the case to a conclusion.

DELMAs FINALLY OvERRULED.
Fought at Length Against Admission
Of Smiths Testimony.

New York, March 13.-After counsel
had spent more than two hours of the
morning session of the Thaw trial In
argument Justice Fitzgerald over
ruled the objection of the defense In
the matter of allowing District Attor-
ney Jerome to continue his examina
tion of James Clinch Smith, brother
in-law of Stanford White. Mr.. Smith
had a conversation with Harry Thaw
on the Madison Square Roof Garden
just before White was killed. Mr..
Jerome said this conversation had
very important bearing on the case
and he had not learned Of the con-
yersation itself until Smith returned
from Europe last month, after the
prosecution case In chief had closed.
Attorney Delmas, for the defense,
fought the introduction of this testi-
mony to the last, but Justice Fitzger-
aid ruled that In the interest OF JUS
tice 1t should be admitted.
Mr.. Jerome thereupon asked that
the taking of Mr. Smiths testimony
be postponed until after the luncheon
recess.
A half hour of the morning session
still remained, SO Mr.. Jerome called
another policeman who saw Thaw the
night of the tragedy and who declared
that the defendant had acted ration
ally.
Mr.. Jerome also called DIR. Carlton
Flint, to whom Evelyn Nesbit is said
to have gone In 1902 with Jack Barry
more, the actor. Mr.. Delmas prompt
" objected to DR.. Flint's testimony
on the same grounds that he has Of
fered against other evidence OF collat-
eral facts tending to contradict young
Mrs. Thaw's testimony. Justice Fitz-
gerald sustained the objection and
DR.. Flint was at once excused.
