The funeral of Rome P. Demery, who was killed by Napoleon Bisson- nette, was held this morning. from his late residence. 276 Brooks street. at S:30 o'clock and thence to St. Anthony's s church on Colorado avenue where a solemn high mass of requiem was sung by Rev. Joseph Desaulnfers. The edi- flee was thronged with relatives and friends. for the unfortunate man was well known and highly respected by all those who knew him. His rela- tives in attendance at the funeral, wept constantly. The victims moth CT, who is almost 80 years of age, and quite feeble. attended the serv.ces with others. Albertina Bissonnette, the oldest daughter of the slayer, who was the only witness to the shooting, clearly showed the strain she had been under for the past few days, having the knowledge that her father had taken the life of her benefactor whom she regarded almost as a father. Last evening a physician had to be called in to care for her. This morning, however. she was much better, and, with two of her brothers. attended the funeral. Delegations from Progressive Circle. Brotherhood of America and the Lafayette Wheeimen, both of which organizations the deceased was popular member. attended the Ser- vices.

Mrs. Lewis on the afternoon of Oct. was taken suddenly i'll and Dr. J. H. D. The next morning the doctor was sud- denly called at a. m., but before his arrival Mrs. Lewis had passed away.

SPAIN BITTER OVER ACTION
 OF FRANCE
Rupture in Diplomatic Rela- tions of the Two Countries
 Seems Imminent
Public Buildings Draped in Memory of Prof: Ferrer,
 Who Was Executed

Paris, Oct. 16.-The rupture of d plo- matic relations between France and Spain is believed to be imminent to- day as a result of the protest from Spain against the action of number of French municipal councils in order ing all the flags on public buildings draped with crepe and half-masted in memory of Francisco Ferrer, the Spanish revolutionist who was execu- ted in Barcelona. Wednesday.
 In scores of French cities and towns the municipal authorities have shown sympathy with the anti-Spanish ag1ta- tors and the Spanish government is to-day complaining bitterly that the French government, by refusing to furnish such deri1iction of duty, has wantonly encouraged it and is in real ity responsible for the demonstrations now occurring throughout France.
 These demonstrations are growing in intensity rather than diminish ng and the government is deeply apprehe nslve lest the situation will shortly get be- yond control. Should Spanish prop erty be attacked trouble will surely raS111t

he was not Justified in killing Demery that he has a good defense in that he was the king of his own home and another man tried to assert his author ity and assaulted Bissonnette because he objected to any outsider trying to run things in his home. Others say that it was cold blooded murder, pure and simple. While none of them be- lieve that Bissonnette should have pulled gun on Demery, the latter was going beyond his rights as a brother when he grabbed Bissonnette by the throat because Bissonnette ob- jected to his interference. That the killing was premeditated is not gener- ally believed.
 Bissonnette's attorney, George T. Kane. had a long talk with his client yesterday afternoon at the county jail, and the two went over every detail of the tragedy. Attorney Kane is con- fident that he will be able to have the charge changed froIp murder in the first degree to a lesser crime. No at- tempt will be made to prove that Bis sonnette was insane at the time of the shooting, or that he has been out of his head, although there are some who know him well that say he has not been himself for a long time. It was said this morning by a court officer that Middletown would be far better for him than states prison.

FALL OF CABINET
 PREDICTED TODAY

Hendaye, France, Oct. 16.-The fall of the Spanish cabinet is predicted to- day by persons arriving here from Madrid who say that the opening ses- sion of the cortes yesterday clearly demonstrated that the Liberals will control the session. The expected Coalition of the heretofore warning Liberal factions has taken place and they now present an overwhelming majority which is likely to block the government at every hand and force the cabinets resignation.
 The opening session of the assembly, arrivals here say, was the StormieSt scene in a score of years. Rioting ac- companied the initial ceremonies. Fists. stones and canes were used by the Liberals and Conservatives in belabor- ing each other and though the ushers. attaches and officials sought to keep the combatants apart. dozens of black eyes, tattered garments and bleeding noses bore evidence of the fierceness of the encounter. Many challenges to duels were 'hurled back although it is likely that 8, few will materialize owing to the excited conditions under which the challenges were issued.
 In the event of the cabinets over throw M. Weller looms as the most likely man for the leadership. Madrid newspapers contain no mention of the revolutionary feeling which is sweep ing over Europe as 8 result of Ferrer's execution.

SIZE OF FAMILY BlSS0NNETTE'S
 TENDER SPOT
Probation Officer Canfeld Throws Light on Causes .eading Up to Demery
 Killing
WIFE NOT ToLD0F MURDER

A statement made this morning by 1 Probation Officer Garfield may throw Esome light on the murder of Rome H. Demery, the East Side newsletter and l ttobacconist, by Napoleon Bissonnette, | of 1925 Seaview avenue, T thursday fevening when the latter shot and kill ! ed Demery, almost immediately, in the Bissonnette home. It was in re- gard to feelings of Bissonnette be- cause he had so large family. It will be remembered that in his state ment .Bissonnette claims Demery said, ssShe has too many chilIren anyway referring to Bissonnette's wife, Dem ery's sister. It was this statement the probation officer thought that worked lBissonnette up to the breaking point. kSeyeral times the probation officer said he had been told that BiSsonnette would fly into passion at once if any l mention was made disparagingly of the large number of children he was Infringing into the world in comparison with his means of supporting them. This was a tender spot and one upon which he was very sensitive. It was said on good authority this morning that after the birth of his last child, Wednesday, one of Bissonnette's own 1 children chided him. He now has 10 | living. Four are dead.
 Bissonnette still preserves the air of indifference which he has borne since the tragedy and seems to feel that he was perfectly justified in what he did One who has talked with him said this m orning that he did not seem to realize the enormity of the crime. He knew that he had done a great wrong but could not seem to appre- ciate the reason for making so much trouble over it.
 Several who know Bissonnette say that he is not mentally whole. They mentioned cases where he has done squeer things. He was usually quiet and peaceable man in the Singer Sew ing Machine Co.'s factory, where he had worked for several years. but he was also easily aroused to al helgnt ol passion if things went wrong.

The children s will be cared for by the relatives of l the mother until she is such condition i to be taken from the hospital.
 The question in every mind at the i present time is what will be done to Bissonnette. Some think that while

In Seven Contested Districts Machine Tickets Get 089 and Morris Tickets 821 Votes, Making Lee
 Plurality 68 But Lee Gets 12 Delegates as Result of Contests, to 9 for Opposition and Will Have Certain Majority
 In Convention
Cooney Beats Booth in Ninth and Will Probably Be Nominated for Town Clerk -Muirhead Beaten By Stewart.

"The regular, well oiled. full-pocket Republican machine" carried four of the seven districts in which primary contests were waged. last night. The Morris Republicans carried three. The five districts in which no contests were waged number few delegates for Senator Thomas Arnold. IT,. and few pledged to Harbor Master Morris. But the general belief is that Arnold's name will not be mentioned in the convention, that Morris will be nomi- mated and will receive 12 votes. and that Mayor Lee will have "A votes. receiving the Arnold strength.
 But the victory of the 'full-pocket' machine was not as imposing as 1t might appear. Lee delegates received in the seven contested districts sS9 votes. Morris delegates received S21. Lees plurality was 6S votes.
 The Morris workers were handicap ped by lack of means to work with, being outnumbered in automobiles and vehicles of all kinds by the machine workers. In addition to the superior facilities which the machine workers enjoyed in this respect. there was at the last moment. a falling away on the part of several anti-Lee workers. which has not been explained. One or the delegates in the Tenth district. for instance, left the polling place at 8 o'clock and was not again seen. It was said that he was sending men in to vote the Lee ticket. In the sixth and eighth districts mysterious defec- tions of Morris workers to the machine also took place.
 Morris delegates carried his home district, the 11th by a vote almost two to one of IA to 73.
 The hottest part of the fight was in the ninth, where Neil M. Muirhead was defeated for the aldermanic nomi- nation by Thomas Stewart by a vote of 295 to 195. The Morris ticket was defeated by a vote of 200 to 2sO and this carried with it the defeat of James N. Booth for the town clerk nomina- tion and corresponding victory for B. F. Cooney.
