GUILLOTINE MAY BE
RESTORED IN PARIS

Paris. Aug. So-There Is reason TO be-
lieve that the guillotine may again be
set UP In France.
The high court yesterday denied the
appeal of Soleillant. who was condemned
TO death last month for the murder OF a
little child President Fallieres alone can
now save him.
A considerable element OF the French
public favors restoring the guillotine. In
the case of Soleillant on account OF the
atrocity OF his crime. IL Is believed that
the use of this Instrument, which had
fallen ito disuse, would check the wave
OF brutal assaults that lately has swept
over the country.
Prefect of Police Lepine already is
arranging to erect guillotine IN Sc
cluded spot.
