Inventor WaIIIn Says IL VIII BE

STOCKHOLM. Feb ls--(special.)-A com
many has been formed at Gutenberg to
doat the invention Of new Swedish flying
machine by NJ B. II. Wallin, director OF
the material testing department Of the
Chalmers institute, who has been working
for two years at his discovery.
The inventor states that the construction
OF his airship VIII cost less than 1900. and
will therefore be much cheaper than those
machines which have been hitherto used
for experimental purposes, SO that the
capltal already subscribed Is more than
adequate for the hrst trials The building
of the airship win take some weeks. but
the work is making rapid progress.
A motor for driving the machine is ex-
pected from Paris In few days. In the
course Of an interview M. Waliin ex-
pressed himself as very hopeful regarding
his invention. He said: The problem OF
aerial navigation can be solved quite as
easily as any other problem. II IL only

CRISIS IN FRENCH CABINET
Differences over Form OF Church
Contracts WIN Probably Cause
Fau of Ministry.

PARIS. Feb. 16-Just as an agreement
regarding terms upon which the churches
Of France could be leased to the Catholic
clergy was about to be reached between
representatives Of NJ. BRAND. minister OF
education. and Cardinal Richards, arch
bishop Of Partisan agreement involving a
settlement OF the most acute phase Of the
religious conflict-a ministerial crisis has
loomed up on the horizon. and it is now
doubtful whether Premier Clemenceaus

The premier left a sdekbed today 70 at
tend cabinet meeting. He insisted that
the cabinet alone should not assume the
responsibility Of authorizing the form Of
contracts The premier doubted that a
parliamentary majority would approve
these contracts. and in any event he in
sisted that Parliament must be given an
opportunity to express its opinion before
the government commits itself The pre-
mier said he was fully aware Of the plots
OF the followers Of NJ Combes and other
groups. and as an old parliamentary
fighter he argued that IL was better TO Sc
cure the consent Of Parliament in advance
than TO run the risk Of being outvoted
later. He declared also that he was ready
himself TO go into the chamber Monday
and submit an Interpolation on confidence
IN tne government II is UNDERSTOOD tnat
M. BRAND took sharp issue with his chief
after the adjournment Of the cabinet. It is
declared that he intends to submit his
views TO his colleagues and that Tuesday
either he or NJ C1emenceau win resign.
The situation is complicated by the fact
that the powerful financial interests which
bitterly oppose the income tax scheme would
Join any combination 20 overthrow the pres
ent ministry, and that the clerical right
naturally would be overjoyed 20 dangie NJ
Clemenceau's scalp at Its belt.
Extraneous issues aside. however a ma
jority of Parliament and a majority OF
the country undoubtedly would support NJ
Brands concilatory policy, and II NJ
Clemenceau falls either NJ BRAND or
former Premier Sarrien is considered most
likely TO succeed him.
At a late hour tonight a semi-official
statement minimizing the seriousness OF
the situation was given out. but in spite OF
this the best judges in parliamentary cir
cles consider a crisis inevitable.

RUSSIAN ARTIST ENDS LIFE
Daughter of Fernando Devoyed shoots
Herself when she Cannot
Pursue Career.


PARIS Feb. i6.-(Special)-A young
artist scarcely aged % years. whose father
was a theatrical celebrity and whose god
father was one OF the crowned heads OF
Europe-King Carlos OF Portugal-com-
mitteo suicide in her room in a little pen
sion de famille In Paris The story OF her
life is full Of romance and tragic adven-
lures. Her name was Mile. Fernando De-
voyed. She was a daughter Of the famous
Russian baritone. Devoyed, and cousin
OF the well known actress, Mime. Suzanne
Devoyed. Her father, II may be remem-
bered, died suddenly some years ago at
St Petersburg while singing 'Rigoletto"
on the stage. She was then II years Of
age, but, though her father had a brilliant
engagement and made fortunes with his
voice, he left his widow and eight children
in comparative poverty. Fernando De-
voyed came to Paris to study singing, and
was helped by Ler cousin and friends
But she was often in great distress and
some time ago had wandered away from a
home In the country where she was placed
and was found shivering in the morning on
bench in the boulevards. where sht had
spent the night She was then handed
over to the Assistance Publique, which Sc
cured her a small allowance. A woman
at her death also left her a legacy, bCt
her disappointment grew out Of the fact
that twice she failed In her examination
for admission to the conservatoire. Though
she had good voice her constitution was
not strong enough for the lyric profess
sion. She finally realized this and grew
respondent.
Finally she dressed herself In white and
sat down TO write a number OF letters
She then went TO bed and apparently slept
for some time, for one of the notes she
wrote was as follows; "It is now half-past
2 o'clock. How well have slept! A little
more and I kill myself in the morning
On another sheet of paper was written:
'I have just tried my revolver. 1 fred It
off under the blankets so that nobody
should hear. 1 did not manage Il very
well. but bye-and-bye to kill myself shall
use my two hands" About s o'clock in
the morning as the maid was carrying up
tea to the boarders a woman in the room
adjoining that of Mile. Devoyed called her
and said that she had heard a strange re-
port in her neighbors room. The door
was opened and the young woman was
found dying. She had shot herself through
the heart, her hair was loose and her eyes
open. She smiled family as the persons
entered the room and few minutes later
expired. The last note she had apparently
written was as follows: II beg my friends
to arrange my hair well when / am laid
out. want to look pretty in death. 1t
is cold now. 1 am shivering. am fright
ened TO feel so calm before setting out on

TESTIMONY IN ADAMS CASE
State Outlines Its Theory and Mother
of Murdered Man Begins
Her Story.

WALLACE, Idaho, Feb. 16.-Today Steve
Adams, charged with the murder Of Fred
Tyler. the timber settler, faced COM
pleted jury. The state has about eighteen
witnesses. while the defense is known to
have at least twenty-five. The prosecu-
tons witnesses viii. IL Is stated, present
mainly circumstanual evidence. backed by
Adams alleged confession OF the murder.
The defense will, Il is expected, resist the
introduction OF this confession on the
ground that Sheriff Sutherland used i'm
proper means to obtain II and that If Adams
made any confession to Detective McPart-
land 1t was made under duress and was
untrue.
The state outlined its theory of the mur-
der of Fred Tyler at this mornings ses-
sion OF court. Attorney Knight, for the
state, told how they went into the new
country near the ST. Joseph river in the
spring OF 1905 and took up a timber claim:
how strife over the timber lands had arisen
among the settlers some Of whom had
banded themselves together TO gain certain
ends; how at least one settler had been
warned TO get out OF the country.
About August 10, the state alleges Tyler
went fishing. and on his way home stopped
at the home of a neighbor named Phillips.
After supper he started to his cabin and
was never seen again till his body was
found in the timber by surveyors. a bullet
hole IN the back of the skull showing the
cause Of death The state proposed 70
show that Adams was in that region until
a few days after the homicide and to in
troduce evidence of a confession secured
from Adams on different occasions without
the use OF force. This confession states
that on his way home from Phillips house
Tyler met Adams and two other armed
men; that they took him 20 a cabin and
kept him there over night, urging him to
leave the country: that in the morning he
was given no breakfast. hut was taken 10
the top OF hill and told to walk on
ahead and as he walked away Adams raised
his rife and shot him dead.
Mrs. Thomas. mother of the murdered
man. was called as the first witness. She
testified as TO his taking the claim and
as TO the Identification Of the body.
