With Governor Trammell carefully
considering the question of calling a
special session of the Legislature to
enact laws to keep the Jas ont of
Florida, we again hurl our prophetic
hat in the ring and hazard the rre-
diction that no special session will
be called for that purpose. He might
bunch that with the redistricting is
sue and call such a session, but we
don't believe that even that will he
done. The governor is already on
record on the latter issue and AGAINST
a special session to chance that INV,

anese invasion in Alarming numbers

To Abandon Suit

The Duchess De Talleyrand Perigord,
formally Miss Anna Gould, is said to have
decided to take no further steps in her
protest against the decree of the Rota,
the reclaring null and void her marriage
with Count Bonie De Castelane. She is
understood to rest satisfied with the as
surance of her friends that in the eye of
the world she has been amply justified.
The former Countess de Castelane had,
of course, already divorced her husband
in the French civil courts, but such a
divorce is non-existent in the eyes of the
Roman Catholic church. After divorcing
M. de Castellane, Miss Gould married the
Due de Talleyrand, but not according to
the rite of the Roman Catholic church.
The effect of the recent decision of Rome

ler's wife and a farm hand, and tried to
kill the millers daughter. He was en-
ployed at a bakery in Grandchamp and
he went out on a Christmas night think
ing he would find the miller alone. as his

mas festival He hoped to find a large
sum of money in the possession of the
miller and intended to rob him and kill

pretended that the baker needed some
flour and the miller went to fetch it from
the mill.

he fired at the miller, followed him to
the house and and by firing two shots
more he killed him in the Kitchen The
miller's wife and daughter ran out of the
house pursued by the murderer, who

her on the head and left her for dead

conscious in a she'd The boy found
nothing at the mill.
He hid for two days In a haystack,
when he was captured. He never ex-
pressed the slightest remorse for his act

even when the millers widow appeared
with her face still bandaged. The jury
found him guilty, but considering the age
of the boy they signed a recommends
ton of clemency. The court, neverthe-
less. in obedience with the law, SEN

NARROW ESCAPE
OF "MOVIE" ACTRESS
Struck Over Head Several Times With
Hammer Which Had Not Been
Properly Wrapped and
Painfully Injured

Paris, August 11--(SpeciaD-A Brazilian,
senor Antonio Ribeira seara, lost a bag
with Jewels and cash to the amount of
more than $4,000 at noon and was lucky
enough to have it restored by an honest
chauffeur in the evening Senior Ribeira
had been staying with his wife and family
at a hotel in the Avenue d d'Antin for the
last three months, and was to take the
sud Express at noon at the Quai d Orsay
station for Lisbon on his way back to
Brazil The heavy luggage was sent in
advance to the station, and as the fam
lily was leaving the hotel nine parcels
were placed in taxi by the hotel SER
wants One of these parcels was the bag
containing the valuables. and 1t was
placed under the seat of the taxi. At the
station the Brazilian paid the chauffeur
but after the latter had driven away he
noticed that there We're only eight par
cells, and the NINTH the most important
one, with the jewels and cash was MISS
ing He returned to the hotel and in
formed the police. The Number of the
taxi had been taken, and two inspectors
were sent to the garage at Levallois. At
s clock in the evening the Chauffeur re-
turned, and his first act was to carry the
bag TO the office to deposit 1t with the
lost articles. The inspectors then spoke
to him, opened the bag and found every
thing intact. The chauffeur explained that
he had noticed the bag about half an
hour after leaving the station, but as he
did not like to lose perhaps half a days
work by driving to the garage at Leval-
lois he waited till the evening to deliver
the bag. He did not go to the hotel either
because he thought that the travellers had
left by the train. The bag was restored
to its owner who gave a liberal reward
TO the chauffeur and the inspectors.
