Paris, June 25.-After all the po-
lice of France and several battalions
of soldiers in the south had failed
to capture the leader OF the wine-
growers, M. Albert, walked alone and
unmolested through the city to visit
Premier Clemenceau. He wore the
simple garb of a southern peasant.
The cotton shirt and silk handker-
chief around his neck and the carpet
bag in his hand aroused the sus-
picion of the corps OF detectives, now
constantly guarding the premier. But
when he had established his identity
| Albert was admitted to the presence
of Clemenceau, with whom he had
| fifteen-minute talk.
A semi-official account of the in
terview says the premier used ex-
tremely strong language, virtually re-
| preaching his visitor with the respon-
sibility of all thatf has happened in
the south-the refusal to pay taxes.
the strike, the resignation of the
| municipality officials and the blood
shed that has occurred-everythin
! in fact.
Would Make Atonement.
| NJ. Albert is represented as having
| been overcome with contrition, BURST
| ing into tears and asking the premier
how he could make atonement, to
| which M, Clemenceau replied;
give yourself up to the law and
use your influence with your coun-
| trymen to return to lawful ways"

believed that M. Albert pleaded the
| cause of M. Ferroul, the ex-mayor OF
Narbonne, and his comrades on the
| Argelliers committee, who are under
arrest, but upon this point NJ. Glenn

| authorized the statement that the
government could not interfere with
the courts.
People Still Excited.
The fear that today would witness
! a renewal of the rioting in the affect

| allied, Although dispatches report
| that the populace in many places is
still greatly excited, no incident of
violence, except the stoning OF The
prefecture at Mines was reported.
Nevertheless the government be-
lieves that The backbone Of the revolt
| Is broken. SeV9rm fresh regiments

| affected points.
General Chailley, who is in COM
mand at Narbonne, thinks that the
| chief danger Is from professional agi-

Deputies Assaulted.
