BOUGHT SPUR|OUSP|CTURES
The French Court Left to Pursue Unaided Prose cution of Swindlers Who Conspired to Capture $2OO,OOO.

Tours. France. Dec. 24-The series or sensations that has enlivened the trial of Count" and Countess" DAulby de Gatigy reached a climax today, when the Duchess of ChOiseuI- Praslin. formerly Mrs. Charles Ham ilton Paine of Boston, abandoned her accusations that D'Aulby and his wife had cOnspired to swindle her out of S2OO,0OO in the sale of spurious paint ings
 As the duchess lawyers walked out of the courtroom the crowd of spectators stood amazed, wondering what would be the next move in the strange case.
 B. Bernard. for the defense. asked the public prosecutor to stop the pro ceedings. but this he refused. and the trial continued
 The evidence was concluded during the day, whereupOn an adjournment was taken until January 2, when the arguments will probably be held.
 The withdrawal of the duchess theoretically weakens, if it does not destroy, the foundation for the prose cution. It is understood that she was actuated by the conclusion of a private agreement concerning the dis position of letters that D'Aulby said had been written by Mrs. Paine and by the belief that the case was break ing down as a result largely of the incident of yesterday. when Carrier BellOuse. an expert called by the prosecution. was forced to admit un- der examination that he was under indictment for maintaining gambling establishments in Paris
 In tOday's examination the defense sought to prove the existence of a plot to ruin D'Aulby. His London lawyer, Behrend. who had possession of the duchess alleged letters, testi- fled that he had been constantly shadowed and that an attempt had been made to break into and rob his office. He added that he had seen a letter written by Paine in which the American confirmed the picture contract with D'Aulby.
 As the court adjourned there were some cries of Long live D'Aulby,"

 Men and women hung from the windows of nearby buildings, crowd ed the parapets of the sky scrapers and jammed the diverging streets far beyond the reach of the diva's voice. TetraZzini incandescent in the ra- diance of her smile and the Opulence of her blazing jewels. her voice leap ing out of the parabOla, where she sang. to the roofs of the tallest buildings. Overhead a giant search light played from a nearby building. swung across the stairs like a heav- enly baton.
 The diva was introduced by Mayor Mccarthy. After the cheerings sub sided she sang, The Last Rose of Summer" As the matchless notes died away another deafening cheer went up. Tetrazzini flinging back kisses. Then she sang the waltz song. Juliet.
 Many of those who heard her were among the patrons of the old TivOli where she made her first public ap- pearance ten years ago. When the waltz song ended the band played. "Auld Lang Syne', and the crowd took up the refrain.

CHRISTMAS EVE IN
 REPUBLICAN OFFICE CIGARS, NECkTIES AND A TREE WITH GIFTS ON IT.. Friends of the Force Were Not Too Busy to Remember the Scribes
 and the Typos.

While the slaves of the night shift toiIed the same as usual on Christmas even. and the only paper in Arizona published 365 days in the year will be on the breakfast tables of it's subscribers just the same as though this were not the most glori- ous holiday of all. Santa Claus came To The Republican office.
 Every member of the force. from the editor down to the lOWliest devil of the mysterious basement. where the mingled odors of gasoline, ink and metal reign supreme. wore a smile just a little broader than com mon last evening. There were cigars for everybody, and downstairs there was even a Christmas tree.
 And such a tree it wasl There was never anything like it. It wasn't any bigger than a rubber plant, but it was big enough to carry gifts for everybody who deserved one The owner of the paper was not forgotten. there being an empty tobacco sack for him. Little James, got a new pencil The inveterate tobacco chewer of the chapel found a spittOon for himself under the trees spread ing branches. and an old grouch who sometimes reads ad. proofs got a one cent stamp on a piece of paper marked Revise" Someone had re- membered the advertising manager of the New York store and tied on tiny electric fan for him. The fan was to assist the ad. writer in pump ing that indispensable part of his stock in trade known as hot air.
 Then. just to make the testers feel mean, the ad writer came around with his arms full of little long boxes from the New York Store. These boxes contained neckties, the flossiest and fanciest to be found in Phoenix Let no one marvel if in the next few days the reporters appear in public with new neckwear. It isn't often that a reporter has enough money to buy himself a tie, and The Re publican scribes will celebrate their good fortune to the limit.
 The business office passed around boxes of cigars with a free and lavish hand. and everyone smoked up" About II o'clock young man Strolled into the city editors rooms to con- fide the astounding fact that his brother was married. When the emissary of the welded one departed he left behind him another box of cigars. Whereupon everybody had another smoke and joy was uncon- fined. The irrigation editor tried to persuade the Queen of Hearts, oth- erwise known as the society editor. to go "on with the dance.' but she pleaded a previous engagement
 There is something in the editorial columns about The Republican wish ing everyone a merry Christmas. The editorial page belongs to the boss" but the scribes now and then work something into the news columns on their own account. and right here is where they wish everyone who has remembered them with cigars. neck ties, or whatever found its way into the sanctum, as well as those who haven't forgotten them when there was anything doing in the way of news, the very merriest Christmas they ever had.

Traces of blood that had dripped into the road between the wagon tracks led to the conclusion that the body had been hauled away None knew of the murder until to- day when a visitor to the office dis covered the bloody bed clothes there

 "CSigned) Ferguson. Chairman"
 The combined population of the two provinces named in the cable is ST. 650,5 ,549
 In greater detail, Rev. Edwin c. Lobensteine, Presbyterian missionary on the spot describes conditions in a letter in part as follows: We are passing through another time famine here. The past years have been marked by repeated floods and this year both spring and fall crops are almost a failure.
 "A region thirty three miles wide and nearly sixty long has been swept by the greatest flood in the mem ory of man. Everything is lost. The Imperial government has voted 40,000 taels for the devastated counties. but that is a mere drop in the bucket.
 Taking China as a whole. this par ticular district flooded is small one; but there also are famine conditions in ather parts of China, and the i'm perial government is in such straits Financially that it is very much to be feared that adequate assistance cannot be given"
 The committee recommends that contributions be made to the treas urers of various boards of foreign missions and to the Red Cross So ciety.
