 President FdILereS Of France
Leon MIe Member Corps Ha dent While the Parade Passing During the Fe But Both Shots Missed Mae
 Under Arrest and Claims elias Been the Victim of Persecution

Paris, July 14-The national fete today was marred by a dastardly attempt on the life of President Fallieres by Leon Maille, a naval reservist of Havre, who, it is believed, is suffering from the mania of persecution. Malle fired two shots at the President, but did not hit him. He was at once placed under arrest. On account of the activity of the anti-militar- ists, who tried to organize 9 demonstra- ton against the army throughout France today, exceptional precautions were taken to safeguard President Fallieres. The at tempt on his life occurred on Avenue Des Champs Elysees, while the President was returning to the palace from Long Champs, where he had reviewed the gar rison of Paris in the presence of 250. 900 enthusiastic people.
 Premier Clemenceau and M. Lanes, the Presidents secretary, were with the Pres- ident in his landau, which was escorted ivy a squadron of cuirassiers. The carriage had safely emerged from the Bois De Boulogne, where the anti-militarists had stationed themselves with the intention of hooting the soldiers and were descending

.DRAGO DOCTRINE
 BOBS UP AGAIN Dr. Drago'S Position at The
 Hague is Critical TWlXT DEVIL AND DEEP SEA Representative of Argentine Republic Has Been Instructed to Follow American Proposition-ln
 Quandary.
TWIXT DEVIL AND DEEP SEA

The Hague July 1.-The approaching introduction of the American proposition relative to the collection of debts. is causing great interest, especially because of the attitude of delegations of the Latin-American countries. Several of thpAe aelegatHs opios, sife s4aeilcan pfop- ositoa personally but have received in- structions from their governments to vote in favor of it. They complain, how ever that the administration at Washing ton has informed their governments to side with the United States.
 Dr. Drago's position is very critical He E--intains that the American proposi- tion does not embody his doctrine He therefore, wishes to present separate proposition, the general outline of which already has been announced. but was prevented from doing so by the Buenos Ayres administration. He then actually presented an amendment. but his gov ernment compelled him to withdraw it.. and he is now not even sure that he will speak the subject. Dr. Drago has repented having accepted the posi- tioa Of delegate to the peace conference, no says. while the Argentine government is in the hands of the opposition party.
 Everybody here Is convinced that the so-called Drago doctrine would prevent under all circumstances the employment oi coercive measures for the collection or debts in Latin American countries; that 1t would not be accepted by Eu- ropean powers, and that 1t would also be strongly opposed by some of the South American countries, especially Brazil. on the ground that such a principle would be altogether ruinous for the national credit.
 Count Tournelll Brusati Divergano, head of the Italian delegation, is receiving congratulations because the commission of which he Is the president. has been the first to complete Its task and present a new convention adapting the Red Cross to naval warfare so that now plenary meetings can be called for it's ultimate discussion and approval.
 It i3 expected that q plenary meeting Of the peace conference will be held on Saturday next and it Is asserted that a great surprise is in store for the dele gates. The British delegation 1t is under stood, is preparing a proposition regard in disarmament to be presented in one plenary meeting

Hahnville, La., July 14-This small village, consisting of a jail. court house. one store. river landing and few farm houses. will tomorrow be- come the scene of Louisiana's most inn portant criminal trial in a decade AL though the indictments, which charpe ferreting out who Kidnapped and ferriting out who Kidnapped and old newsboy, about q month ago. the old news boy, about a month ago, the real aim is the suppression of Ital- ian violence in this state. It is hoped not only to make severe examples but to learn how extensive an organiza- tion was behind the plot which in- duced ten persons, two of them wom- en, to participate in an attempt to get S60OO ransom.
 Commercial bodies of New Orleans and a vigilance committee of wealthy Italians have helped bring the case to the present speedy trial. owing to the state of public feeling Governor Blanchard has secured a special session of the court and put the state militia at the disposal of the sheriff of this parish, although it now appears very unlikely that any militia will Ae needed.
 Four Italians. including one of the women, will go on trial for their lives tomorrow morning. two more will stand trial week hence. and the remainder of the ten who are still at large. will be tried when captured

PLANS A DISMAL FAILURE.
Anti-Mil ilitarist Demonstration Pro-
 duced No Results.

Paris, July A-Outsde of Paris the anti-mlitarist plans for a general dem onstraton today were a dismal failure. but collisions between the police and the workmen at Toulon and Montpelier were directly due to their inspiration. At Brest the police were forced to occupy the labor exchange in order to prevent trouble. As no newspapers were published in Paris this afternoon. the attempt on the llfe of President Fallieres was not generally known and the festivities were unlnter- r II ted.
 The theatres gave their usual free per- formances and there were concerts in tre parks and balloon ascension at the Tm.erIes. Tonight there was a nautical fete on the Seine and magnificent displays of fire works at the Place de la Coneorde and many other public places At mid night the city was brilliantly illuminated and street halls were in full swing

FIVE CENT RIOT
 AND ITS RESULTS
Greeks Are Much Disturbed
 Oyer the Attack
CONSUL ASKED TO ASSIST
Nine Restaurants and Five Shops Were Wrecked by the Roanoke Mob and the Mayor Bruised
 with Rocks.

Roanoke Va July 14.--Roanoke is qu:et today again after hours of rioting last night, when a mob wrecked nine Greek restaurants, three Greek shoe-shin- ing places and two Syrian shops. The riot was caused by a dispute about 3 ce..-s betwAeu a Greek enaploved in the Belmont Greek restaurant on Salem ave nue and an American, who went there to buy a sandwich.
 Seven places were wrecked on Salem avenue, three on jefferson street, one on Nelson street. and one on Railroad ave nue. Five men have been arrested and lodged in jail and one of them has been relcased on S250 bail for his appearance at the hearing in the police court next Thursday. None of the Greeks is under arrest At all of the wrecked places to- day the proprietors set to work cleaning out the debris so as to be ready to resume business. The Greeks have em- ployeI counsel to look after their in- terests and have called the attention of the Greek consulate in this country to the affair.
 While the disturbance was in progress last night, Mayor Cutcheon, who was in the street begging the crowds to dis perse, was struck on the legs and se- verely bruised by rocks. The fire depart ment was called out to throw water on the crowd and when the hose was un wound, there were cries of "cut the hose. One man stuck knife in the hose but was driven back by the big stream that was played on him. The mayor ordered the police to guard the hardware stores to prevent the moo from raidng these places in search of firearms The larger restaurants, which were elaborately fur nsned with mirrors, had their interiors demolished. United States District At torney Lee Moore. when asked tonight if he would take am action in the mat ter of the rioting said that the case is not covered by the federal statutes, as no conspiracy is charged. Nicholas George, head of the local colony of Greek tonight said he had referred the natter to D. N. Botassi, Greek consul at New York. with the request that he ta.-e I. up with the Washington author ities It was rumored, though not be- lieved. that the friends of the men now in jail charged with participating in the riot, would make an attempt to rescue the-i tonight.
