PARIS. July 2i-Despite the haste
necessary, owing to the coming visit
of the car of Russia. TO replace the
Cabinet Of Premier Clemenceau, which
fell with him last night, il is scarcely
believed that President Fallieres will

ministry.
In an interview with the United Press
correspondent to-day, Clemenceau de-
clared that the defeat of his ministry
was a blow at his personality, and nos
q defeat for the government or its
policies.
Clemenceau declared that he believed
the personnel of the cabinet, with the
exception Of himself, would be un-
changed. and that the present policy OF
the ministry would continue without
change.
Disinterested observers believe that
tho downfall Of the Clemenceau gov

HOUSTON. Texas. July 2l.-AIeagre re-
ports from Galveston indicate a serious
food following a gale blowing nearly 80
miles an hour OF the Gulf and carrying
water over the sea wall. The barometer
is low and is steadily falling. Water is
several feet deep in the western part of
the city and people are moving out OF
their homes to higher portions of the city.
Telegraph and telephone wires have been
so disturbed by the wind which has been
blowing for several hours that complete
reports have been unobtainable.
How much damage has been done is not
yet known. The storm is said to have ex-
tended along the coast and several low IS
lands are reported inundated.
Two spans of the railroad bridge con-
meeting Galveston with the mainland we're

THE PROFESSORS MISTAAE

When Mrs. siilerby went out for the
afternoon she told her husband that. she
hoped the children would not annoy him
at his worlS-the husband being, OF
course that famous Prof sillerby OF
whom so many stories are told. He was
as is well known one OF the profoundest
scholars that America has produced and
little moro than baby in the affairs
Of everyday life.
Mrs. Sillerby. then. expressed a hope
that the children would not interrupt
tho professors work in saying which she
showed herself n singularlv sanguine wo-
man. There were = lot Of children. and
they seemed 10 have no other mession An
life that afternoon except TO make work
OF any kind impossible. They began
with hide and seek on the fcor OF the
room where the professor was working,
till he stopped that. then they slid down
the staircase IN bathtubs and tea trays
and things.
That being prohibited, they played a,
three-ring circus in the room over the
professors head. materially assisted
therein by tho possession OF a bg drum
which some considerate friend had given
one OF them at Christmas. The pros
fessor stood Il with such patience as hs
could command til the afternoon began
to draw I'm. and then. - his despair, an

he would clear the fence like a bird and
go frisking around the ring afterward

SUTTON HAD
TALKED SUICIDE
Lieutenant Bevan However
Became Tangled During
HIS Testimony

ANNAPOLIS. Nd. July 2l.--That
Lieutenant James y. Sutton, the cir
cumstances Of whose death are now
being investigated by a naval court OF
inquiry at the naval academy, had
threatened to commit suicide, was one
of the most important features brought
out at the hearing today. Lieutenant
Bevan who began his testimony yester-
day. swore that Sutton had told him
some time previous to the mysterious
tragedy that III chad no attraction FOR
him and that some day he would shoot
himself.
Bevan furthermore, expressed HIM
self as positive that the shot which
/ killed Sutton on the night Of october
l12. 1907, was fired from revolver in
Sutton's own hand that no one else
was in contact with the weapon at tho
time.
Sutton's prediction that some day he
would commit suicide was made, said
the witness, in Suttons tent. Mrs
Sutton and Mrs. Parker, mother and
sister OF the dead man who are at
tempting TO show that he did not kill
himself. stirred pereeDtibly at tn,
statement of Bevan. The mother look
ed her indignant disbelief and turned
toward her daughter who sat oper
mouth in surprise. showing that Il wa,
the first time in her life she had heart
l"Jimmie" Sutton accused OF being tiret
OF existence.
Next In interest to this development
was the tangling up of Bevan by th'
Suttons' counsel in regard to TIE par
ticipants in the midnight campus fight
and the probability developed tina
other persons whose names have here
tofore been unmentioned would be
shown to have been present.
Bevan had said before, that he raj
through a crowd OF men 20 get 10 Sut
toms PROSTATE body. but was unable L
give any names. In his former testi
mony Bevan said that at the time h
saw the flash that accompanied th
, fatal shot, Sutton's hands were bot
under him.
Today and yesterday Bevan insist
ed that he saw Sutton stretch out
: hand with a revolver in Il, before III
;. shot was fired. In his former testi
= mony he said he had never seen an
e revolver before Willing took one ava
T from Sutton. Bevan also admitted tina
