prevent the marriage of Nine. Gould
with Prince de Sagan, caused forged
letters and documents, purporting
to have been signed by de Sagan,
to be sent to Nine. Gould.
Counsel for the princess raked
the count fore and aft when he reached
the subject of the fashion in which
he had dissipated his wife's fortune,
spending at the rate of S1,000,000 a
year for II years. M. Clemenceau re-
vealed the exact terms Of the settle
ment his client offered to make at the
time of her divorce. These the count
refused, on the ground that they were
insufficient: and in SO doing, said coun-
sci, he proved himself eligible for an
insane asylum. These terms were
100000 cash, or an income of $780,
900 a year, this income to be in
creased when the estate Of his former
wife was out of the hands of the
trustees, she to take over all the debts
then pending. .:'.
M. Clemenceau then rallied at the
count for reproaching de Sagan with
having two mistresses. "The count"
he said, had more than two when he
married Miss Could" The count also
accused de Sagan with. ingratitude' be-
cause he (the COUNTY had once loaned
him $4,000. Where did this money
come from?" asked the lawyer. why,
from Anna Gould, who is now princess
de Sagan." o..
M. Clemenceau took up one by one
the accusations made against the
princess by the count regarding her
travels in Italy with de Sagan before
their marriage. It should be remem-
bered, the lawyer declared, that the
princess was not a young girl travel
ing with her fiance. but a divorced
woman in the company Of the man she
was going to marry. Furthermore,
she is an American, M. Clemenceau
said. Conduct that would appear to
be out Of the ordinary in France" he
said, 'is perfectly proper on the other
side of the ocean," M. Clemenceau
came to the more serious charge of
misconduct at Versailles. He admit
ted that de Sagan had stepped out of
Nine. Gould's window at the Hotel des
Reservoir at II o'clock in the morning,
but he pointed out that this was not
the window Of her bedroom, but Of her
salon, and as the salon was situated
on the ground floor Of the hotel, it was
quite natural for the prince to emerge
into the garden by way of the tall win
dow that in French houses often serves
as a door.

in Minneapolis late yesterday in a

avenue, Nicollet Island, by Private
Detective Ole Ringdahl and Detec-
tives Morrisey, Stavlo, Martinson and
Wirtensohn Of the Mill City force.
A complete outfit of explosives and
various accessories commonly used
by safe crackers was contiscated.
The catch is considered by the police
of the Twin Cities to be. most import
ant.
Detectives had traced the men to
St. Paul and from there to Minnea-
polls. Detectives Ringdahl, chief of
the Northwestern branch Of the Pink
ertons, tracked them to Minneapolis
and, with the aid Of the Minneapolis
detectives, located them OH Eastman
avenue.
The men were taken completely by
surprise. AT the time the detectives
broke into their rooms they were
playing cards. All but two peace
fully submitted to arrest. These two
broke for tho back door but were
caught.
At central police station the prison.
ers refused to talk.
OF the nine men under arrest the
police believe that three of them have
served time in penitentiaries.

j. Stolz, Joseph Brown, Mike Ber-
mingham, John Baker and Gustav

THE PRESIDENT OF PORT Az
PRINCE TAKES REFUGE ON
FRENCH GuNBoAT.
He Was Compelled to Flee Because
Of Threatening Mobs. Gen. Le-
gitime is Proclaimed Ruler Await
Ing Gen. Simon.

Port au Prince, Dec. 3.-President
Nord Alexis has been deposed and is
now safe on board the French train
ing ship Duguay Trouin, and Port au
Prince is in the hands of the revolu-
tionists. Gen. Antoine Simon, the
leader of the insurgents is marching
up the peninsula with an army of
5000 and new president, Gen. Le-
gitime has been proclaimed.
At the last moment President AL
exis yielded to the urging of those
about him and decided to take refuge
aboard the French warship. At pre-
cisely o'clock salute OF twenty
one guns announced his departure
from the palace.
Thousands had gathered there early
in the day and they surged around
the entrances, threatening to tear
down the walls to drive out the presi-
dent and his loyal followers.
AS the hours passed the great mob
became infuriated, shouting for him
to leave the country.
So serious was the situation that
the french minister, M. Carteron,
and other foreign representatives, to-
gether with the members of the spec
ial committee forced themselves up
on the president, who finally con-
sented to withdraw.
Shouts greeted him as he stepped
from the precincts of the palace and
into the carriage that had already
been provided.
M. Carteron, carrying the French
tri-color sat beside him and the min
lister threw the folds of the flag over
the shoulders of the deposed presi-
dent, to protect him.
All the way to the wharf the peo-
pie who lined the streets shouted,
jeered and cursed at the fallen presi-
dent. The scene was tragic and
shameful. One woman attempted to
stab the president.

LEAPS 100 FEET TO HIS DEATH.
Student in the Yale Graduate School

New Haven, Conn, Dec. 3.-John
Alan White, 20 years old; of Walton,
N. Y, student in the Yale graduate
school, committed suicide Tuesday
night by jumping from the top Of
West Rock to the ground below, a dis
tance of 100 feet. The body was
found by Whites roommate, Harry L..
Agard, and was badly mangled from
having come in contact with the rocks
at the base of the huge bowlder.
When found White had been dead
about three hours.
That White contemplated taking his
life is borne out by letter which was
found in his room, addressed to his
father, and which was taken to a
relative living here, and who opened
it. 1t is believed his mind was tenn
porarily deranged from overwork and
worry over the illness Of his brother
and sister with typhoid fever.

was found dead and her 1l-year-old
daughter. Theresa, dying as the re-
suit Of poisoning in a hotel at Men,
phis, Tenn, according to dispatches
Tuesday. The child died an hour lat
er. The husband at the Schiller street
address Tuesday declared that he
knew no reason why his wife should
have killed their daughter and com.
mited suicide. The circumstances SUR
rounding the woman's death and the
declarations of her husband that there
could be no motive unless it be her
ill health. have placed a shroud Of
deep mystery around the double
tragedy.
The body of Mrs. Errington. who
registered in the Memphis hotel as
Mrs. Schmit of Hot Springs, Ark. was
found on the floor in the room Of the
hotel while her daughter nestled close
to her crying and shrieking with the
burning pain Of the carbolic acid. Near
both the mother and daughter was an
empty vial which had contained the
acid and which evidenced the drug
used. The features of the mother were
distorted and showed signs of great
pain. The lips were black and the
hair disheveled. The daughter who
was found in a dying condition. was
badly burned about the face and died
soon after being discovered.
The clew which led to establishing
the woman's identity was a letter
with an envelope addressed to Mrs.
NJ. P. Errington, 242 Schiller street,
Chicago. and a life insurance policy
for $4,000 on the woman's life in IA
vor Of Nicholas P. Errington.
The husband received a telegram
from the police at Memphis giving the
description OF the bodies Of tho moth
err and daughter and their effects and
he wired that he would take steps at
once to arrange for their burial. To a
reporter the grief-stricken husband
and father declared that his wife, ac-
companied by his daughter, had start.
ed for Hot Springs and that he had ex.
pected to Join them in a couple Of

The deposed president, Nord Alexis,
was at the palace. The members of
the diplomatic corps held a confer
ence for the purpose of taking meas
ures to facilitate and hasten the de.
parture of Nord Alexis from the re.
public.
The coup was remarkably success
full. All the remaining ministers, to-
gether with the high military officials
under Nord Alexis, took refuge in the
various foreign legations.
Not Shot Is Fired.
It Is remarkable fact that not a
shot was fired. The soldiers of Nord
Alexis saw that the rebels had the
upper hand and they quickly let it be
seen that they had no intention of
starting a fight that undoubtedly would
have resulted in much bloodshed. The
presence of the American cruisers
Des Moines and Tacoma and the
French cruiser Duguay Trouin un.
doubtedly had restraining influence.
The citizens are in possession Of the
central police station and all the other
police outposts, the arsenal. and the
port. These bodies Of men are all

prepared shows the thoroughness with
which the movement was organized.

As soon as the success Of the move
ment was established number Of
prominent citizens held meeting and
formed a committee Of public safety,
and the maintenance of order in Port
au.Prince is now in the hands of this
body.
Gen. Legitime, president OF the pro.
visional government, was at one time
president of the republic.
The fact that Nord Alexis ministers
deserted him at the last moment did
not come as complete surprise. Their
loyalty was suspected, and the de-
fections of the last two or three days
showed clearly what might be ex.
pected. Gen. Jules Coicou, the mill.
tary commander of Port-au-P Prince, is
among the refugees, as is also Gen.
Hyacinthe. Coicou is the man who
