rEAN1A, Ga, Aug. Mrs. Daisy
~ Ulrich Opie Grace told the jury
IN this afternoon how her young hus-
I a band, Eugene Grace. scion OF an
aristocratic Georgia family, re-
ceived the bullet wound that paralyzed
him in their Atlanta home on the fifth OF
last March.
Her first words on the stand were:
gentlemen, / am innocent I did not
shoot my husband and he knows It, In
dicatlpS with a nod of the head toward
her husband, who lay on a stretcher near
the witness stand.
Mrs. Grace then declared her husband
had shot himself during a struggle with
her following quarrel over another
woman on whom Mrs. Grace alleged her
husband had been spending her money.
With flushed face and hands trembling,
Mrs Grace spoke in clear but low voice
declaring that her husband had tried TO
kill her several times. Once. she said, he
tried to drown her; again. he stabbed her
and finally, the day he was shot he seized
pistol and In the struggle that followed
he wounded himself
Mrs. Grace's statement was very long.
The salient features follow:

my story.

Graft on All Sides.

According to Commissioner of Ac-
counts Fosdick who was forced to re-
sign, it is said, because of obstacles
put in his way by Mayor Gaynor, more
disorderly houses are running in New
York than before the days OF the
Lexow investigation, and that graft is
collected monthly by the police. Graft
permeates every section of the police
department. There is a price for APP
pointment To the force and there is
price for retirement on pension before
the applicant has reached such age
that retirement is legal, and there is
graft in the sale Of policemen s uni
forms. The price for retirement on
pension for "physical disability is
s400, of which 5000 is declared to be
set aside for one OF the civilian at
taches of the department. There is
probability that Commissioner Fosdick
will be appointed assistant district at
torney, so that he can aid Mr., Whit
man in the prosecution OF the graft in
vestigation.
Within the next few days the grand
Jury will hear the stories OF some of
the best known and wealthiest gam
blers in America. They have signified
their intention of telling all they
know of the graft ring in this city.
They are moved by revenge, because,
they claim. the police department be-
came extortionate in its demands dur
ing the past year or two. They know
WHO got the money and they have
stated that they will be waiting to go
before the grand jury when the pro-
cess servers arrive.

It isn't. 1t is filled to overfowlng

which we have so carefully cherished
against this very holiday season.
Paris smiles and is gay; her people
have forgotten the horrors Of the flood
Of which no trace remains, and the
river Seine flows between its stone
entertainments with joyous rush that
betokcns no evil; flowers bloom, bands
play and all goes we'll.
Especially in July and August does
the tourist take full possession of the
city, filling the large and small hotels
alike. For brief season, literally ne

suite of rooms at the Ritz, or more
humble lodgings in the latin quarter
Its dcnizens are his minions, and his
wish is law, for if monsieur is pleased
he will come again with his bright
