shot AT PRESIDENT.
LEON MAILLE FIRED TWICE AT
EXECUTIVE OF FRANCE.
FaIlieres Was in Carriage on Crowded
Avenue Returning From a Review
of Troops-Assassin Is Not Safe
MaiIle, a Naval Reservist of Havre,
Gives No Excuse for Act.

Paris. July 15.-The national fete
Sunday was marred by dastardly
attempt on the life of President Fal-
Heres by Leon Maille, a naval re
servist of Havre, who, it is believed,
is suffering from a mania of perse-
cution Maille fred 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-militarists, who tried to organ
ize a demonstration against the army
throughout France Sunday, excep-
tional precautions were taken to safe
guard President Fallieres. The at
tempt on his life occurred on Avenue
des Champs Elysee while the presi-
dent was returning to the palace
from L.ongchamps, where he had re-
viewed the garrison of Paris in the
presence of 100000 enthusiastic peo-
pie. Premier Clemenceau and M
Lanes, the presidents secretary,
were with the president in his landau
which was escorted by a squadron OF
cuirassiers. The carriage had safely
emerged from the Bots de Boulogne
where the militarists had been station
ed with the intention of hooting the
soldiers, and was descending the
broad Champs Elysee amid the accla
nations of the crowds thronging the
sidewalks, who were shouting, "Vive
Fallieres!" "Vive Earnest" when al
the corner of Lesueuer street, Maille
from the curb, fired in quick success
sion two shots point blank at the
president. Miraculously no one was
hit. President Fallieres was cool and
collected when the cortege stopped
The diplomats who were following the
presidents carriage alighted from
their carriages and hurried to the
side of M. Fallieres.
Finding that nobody had been in
jured by the presidents orders the
cortege moved on. In the meantim,
two policemen seized Maille, whC
made no resistance, but the police
with difficulty prevented the irat'
crowds from lynching the prisoner
until a Gordon of reserves came III
and conducted him to the station
There Maille refused to give any rea

No Plot Suspected.

Some of the witnesses of the shoot
ing said that Maille fired in the air.
1t is believed the man participated in
the recent seamen's strike and that
his mind has been unhinged by fan
cied grievances. 1t is believed also
that he aided in the revolutional agi-
tation of the general federation of
labor and the anti-militarists. There
is no reason to suspect a plot, as Mail
lie only arrived here from Rouen last
night.
Maille appeared before an examining
magistrate and the authorities only
succeeded in extracting from him a
rambling statement about family per.
Isecution directed against him. 1t was
in order to draw public attention to
his grievances, he said, that he fired
the shots. The prisoner terminated
the examination by announcing his
intention to give no further explana.
ton, as he believed the magistrate
would do nothing to remedy his
wrongs.
President Fallieres has received nu
merous kilograms of congratulatior
from the rulers of many countries or
his lucky escape.
The attempt on the life of President
Fallieres probably will strengthen the
governments intention to put a stoI
to the anti-militarist propaganda
which is already demoralizing the
army and becoming a menace to The
republic. Thirty-nine ringleader'
were arrested Sunday for kissing sol
diers who were returning from the re
view. Other arrests were made at thu
Place de la Concorde, where the lea
que of patriots held their annual cere
mony.
