SHOT DURING zoLA eLoRlFIcA.
TIoN AT PANTHEON.
Military Writer Attempts Officers
Life as Protest Against Army's
Participation In Ceremony.

Paris, June 5.-Just at the close Of
the ceremonies attending the interment
of Emile Zola in the Pantheon Thurs.
day, when the president of France,
the premier and a host of ministers
of state were taking their departure,
Louis Anthehne Gregori, a military
writer of note, drew a revolver and
fired two shots point-blank at Mai.
Alfred Dreyfus. for whose liberty Zola
fought and won.
Men distinguished in all walks of
life filled the Pantheon and when the
shots rang out there was intense ex.
element In fear that the president
had been assassinated, but even the
attempt on the life of Maj. Dreyfus
created profound impression. Sol
diers speedily surrounded Gregori and
he was taken to jail. bruised and
bleeding, with his clothes almost torn
from his back.
Maj. Dreyfus was not seriously In
jured. bullet entered his forearm,
but did not injure the bone. At a
late hour the official statement was
made that his condition was very
favorable and that no complications
we're feared.
Matthew Dreyfus, the brother Of
Maj. Dreyfus, who sprang forward to
save him, chivalrously protected
Gregori from the crowd which was
raining blows with canes and umbrel-
las on the man, shouting: 1T is not
for us to punish; let the law take It's
course"
Gregori made a statement to the po-
lice directly after his arrest and dur
ing second Interrogation Thursday
night he said: 81 did not wish to kill
Dreyfus. II is true aimed at him,
but only wanted to Craze him. My
object was to protest against the par
ticlpation of the army in the glorifica-
ton of zola and the rehabilitation of
Dreyfus. My blow was aimed less at
Dreyfus than at Dreyfusism."

Hearings Are Begun.
Chicago, June 5.-The full Republi.
can national committee met Friday at
IL o'clock and began the hearings on
which will be determined the contests
Involving 229 seats in the convention.
The number OF contests flled is so
large that their settlement easily has
become the most important OF the
prs-convention proceedings.
The nomination Of the Republican
candidate for the presidency hinges
absolutely upon the decision OF the
members OF the national committee
and the subsequent approval Of that
decision by the credentials committee
Of the convention. Half Of the con-
tests decided In favor Of Secretary
Taft would result In his winning on
the first ballot, while failure to cap
ture this number unquestionably
would put the nomination in doubt.

majority OF the contested delegates
out OF the Taft column. the representa-
lives OF other candidates nave pooled
issues in most of the cases, and, as
allies, will urge their claims before
the national committee. The proceed
lngs, therefore, largely, will be re-
solved into Taft and anti-Taft con.
troversy.
so far as the south is concerned,
and most OF the contests are in states
from south Of the Mason and Dixon
line, the interests of the allies are be-
ing looked after by Maj. F. c. Bryan
Of Washington, d. c. He arrived in
Chicago Thursday and announced that
be would base his arguments chiefly
on the contention that in most of the
southern states the Taft forces had
disqualified the negro voters from
participating in the state and district
conventions. and that the allies dele
gates had been selected at con-
ventions from which no class or race
had been barred
