BIC SHORTAGE
ST|RS FRANCE

Paris, March 12.-RevelationS follow
ing the arrest of NJ Duez, judicial trus-
tee of the Tribunal of the Seine, and
formerly liquidator of the properties of
dispossessed religious organizations,
who is charged with the embezzlement
of S1,OOOOUO have caused great SEN
sation in France.
1t is predicted that they will have a
disastrous effect on the government S
chances in the coming elections. There
is Indignation in many quarters that
the property wrested from the relig-
iouS bodies, which in many cases was
devoted to relieving the necessities of
the sick and poor. should have been al
lowed, as is charged, to be frittered
away in speculation and dissipation.
According to the newspapers Duez' S
defalcatiOns now prove to be nearer
$2.cUO.OOo, than 81 100000. 1t is said
the money was in nOwise all lost in
bourse transactions. Some Of it was
invested in real estate by Duez for his
own benefit, it is alleged.
Say Woman Got Large Sums.
1t is declared also that he lavished
immense sums on Mile. Peirie. a noto-
rious and beautiful demi-mondaine.
Many invoices of jewelry were found
among his papers These and other
gifts to Mile. Peirie in the last few
months are said to have amounted to
$4,000. Duez also maintained a villa
on the Riviera.
The details of his alleged treatment
of the church property make amazing
reading There is much talk of other
arrests. 1t seems, according to the al
legations, Duez shared his plumber
with INSCRIPTIONS lawyers and others.
The Republican press finds no words
Of excuse for the disgraced official and
lay much of the responsibility for the
condition of affairs upon the immense
amount of work assigned to a single
liquidator. At the same time the pa
pers accord the government praise for
exposing the scandal on the eve of the
general elections.
Opposition Press GIeefuI.
The Catholic and Royalist opposition
press manifests glee over the expos
ure. which, they declare. confirms the
suspicious long entertained that the
property Of the churches, monasteries,
and converts eX-appropriated by the
state, instead of furnishing 100000
600 for old age pensions and other So
cial reforms. had disappeared into the
pockets of politicians.
The L'Acton Franchise remarks Gym
ically:
''Duez, being charged by the govern
ment to steal the church's property can
hardly be blamed for taking a part OF
the booty for himself
The cabinet considered the affair to-
day and decided to detail auditors from
the ministry of finance to inspect all
of the accounts, and 10 place an inspec-
tor from the ministry at the disposition
of the court which is in investigating
Duez The latter's house has been
searched and his safe deposit box at
his bank placed under seals
