Employees Of the garage were mys-
titled, as 1t was not apparent just how
Burnett had been shot. After a search
they found the weapon, in a pocket OF
the door. 1t was like a bottle. The
neck could be unscrewed, and when
this was done an exploded cartridge,
and also a full cartridge. were found
in the single chamber. By holding
the weapon in the palm Of the hand,
springs could be pressed. The weapon
is about five inches long. 1t does not

NOTED FRENCHMEN ID
 COME ID AMERICA
Bear Bust of La France" as a Natural Gift of
 Friendship

WASHINGTON, D. C., April A. Official circles in the national capital are looking forward with great inter est to the impending visit to this coun try of a delegation of distinguished Frenchmen who will be the bearers of national gift of friendship from the French republic to the United States, consisting of Augusta Rodin's bust of La France This magnificent bronze bust will be presented to the United States as token of Frances friendship and is to be placed at the base of the monument which will be dedicated in June to Samuel de Champlain, French navigator and explorer, the tercente- nary of whose discovery of Lake Champlain was celebrated in 1909
 The delegation will be headed by NJ Gabriel HanotauN, former foreign minister of France and member of
 the French Academy and will visit New York, Washington, Philadelphia,
 Boston. Lake Champlain, Montreal, Quebec and Niagara Falls, delivering addresses voicing the gratitude of France for the numerous manifesto tiOns of friendship by the United
 States The delegation will sail for New York on the new steamship France Of the French line. which will start on it's maiden voyage on April 20.
 What makes this ohcial visit of es- pecial interest is the fact that the del egation is headed by Nj. HanotauX,
 who is considered one Of the most bril- liant statesmen Of France and believed to be destined to become president of the republic at some time in the near future NJ. HanotauS was born at Beau revoir, a village near St. Quentin
 France. on November 19, 1853. His grandfather was a peasant and his
 father was a rotary and small land owner. After Gabriel had completed his studies at the lNceum Of St. Quen- tin. he went to Paris to study law and entered the school of Charters.
 He showed intense interest in the study of history and won distinction by a thesis he wrote dealing with the time of Richelieu.
 Henri Martin, the historian, who was a cousin of Gabriel HanOtauX' 's father, took the young man to Gam betta who was then at the height of his power Gambetta obtained for him an appointment in the archives of the ministry of foreign affairs and also encouraged him to write on various subjects of q historical and political character for La Republique Fran caise, the paper which Gambetta had founded and which he still controlled. Hanotaux soon became chief clerk in the department of archives and also was appointed professor at the Eco!o
 doe Hautae I7fudpS
 When Gambetta became premier, he made HanotauX sub-chief in his cab inet. In 1889 Hanotaux was appointed councillor to the embassy Of France at Constantinople under the Marquis Ge NoaiIles. In the following year he was made "Sub-directOr of the Protec-
 torates," and in 1892 he was placed in charge of the office of Consular and Commercial afaires. From that posF ton he was elevated to the position of minister of foreign affairs, which he held through a number of admins tIations.
