 The first of the great clowns of mod ern times, and the greatest, was Jo- seph Grima1di, who died in London seVenty-six years ago to-day. Gri- na1di who originated the form of amusement that now delights mill lions of youthful patrons of all the
 greatest shows on earth" came of a family of pantomimists, and began to act in pantonime when a mere tod dler. He gained an international rep utatfon in Mother Goose and other pantonimes at Covent Garden in Lon don. 4aas last appearance was as Harlequin in 1928. Grimaldi died In extreme poverty, and left behind two volumes of memoirs, which were edit ed by Charles Dickens. Although his life was devoted to amusing others, Grima1di was himself of a melancholy disposition. The story of his visit to a medical man has become a classic. Grimaldi told the physician that he was afflicted with me1ancholia, and the doctor advised him to go see Gri- unhappy patient, "I am Grima1di." Grima1di had host of imitators, but all clowns refer to him as the great master of their profession.
 The first periodical of the critical review type was the Journal des Sea- vans, the initial number of which was issued in Paris 25S years ago yester- day. It was originated by Bonis de Sallo, ecclesiastical counselor in the parliament of France, whose literary nom de plume was Hedouvil1e. The first publication of this kind in Eng fish was the Review of Daniel Defoe, published in 17o3. It was followed by a magazine called The Works of the Learned, in TITO, and four years later by The Waies of Literature. Tho Monthly Review came out in 1749, the Edinburgh in 1902, the Quarterly in 1909, the North American in 1915, the Westminster in 1924, and the Revue des Deux Mondes in 1881. The Ie- gality of literary criticism was estab- lfshed by the English courts in 1794, when an author brought an action against a review for a severe critique of his work. The suit was decided in favor of the defendant reviewer, on the principle that criticism, however sharp. is allowable if not malicious.

OF the five persons who have fig
ured prominently in the alleged con-
spiracy, only two are really on trial.
Green was convicted, last May, Pitt
man took his own life, and Collins
turned states evidence yesterday, al
though in his testimony he implicated
neither Wood nor Atteaux, his story
of his part III the affair relating
wholly to his associations with Breen
Breen told of his acquaintance with
Atteaux and said that at the wit
ness suggestion that the strikers be
fought with their own weapons, At
teaux had engaged him to Plant the
dynamite, paying him 500 in two in,
stallments. He described in detail his
movements, Jan. 10 and 20, when the
dynamite was hidden, his story in the
main corroborating the testimony Civ
en- by Collins yesterday.
With respect to Collins knowledge
that the bundles distributed about
contained dynamite the two stories
lie net agree. Collins declared, yes
terday, he did not know he was hand
ling dynamite. but Breen, today, said
that he told Collins what the packages
contained and warned him to be care
full not to cause an explosion. Breen's
activities in connection with the strike
were due, he said, to his pride in his
city and desire to benefit the opera
ives, with whom he was on friendly
terms, by the restoration of industrial
peace.
Under cross examination, Breen' S
memory was hay at times, particu-
larly regarding meetings and CONVEX
sations with various persons. He
could not recall whether or not he
had said that his fathers estate own
ed $50, 900 worth of American Wooden
60. stock, but admitted that if he had
made such Il statement it was untrue.
Neither did he have any recollection
regard conversations with Inspector
Rooney OF the Boston police, in which
Rreen is alleged to have said that
there were others behind the dyna-
mite Planting" and that he was not
the worst one.
From the moment that Breen told
of his meetings with AtteauX until
court adjourned for the day, his tes-
timony was followed with the closest
attention by every person in the
crowded court room. His voice was
low and often a Yes" or No an
swer was required he would either
nod or shake his head in response,
forcing the stenographer to ask him
to speak his reply.
Green's cross-eXamination will be
continued, tomorrow.

Mexican Congress
Sanctions Loan.

Mexico City, May 21.--The Mexican
Congress, late last night, gave its
sanction to an agreement for loan
of $100,000,000 at per cent. inter-
est. The amount is to be placed at
80 and will run for 10 years. 1t is
guaranteed by So per cent. of the GUS
toms receipts, The Mexican National
Bank has been named as the repre-
sentative of the bankers in the SUI
pcrvision of the disbursements. In
the course of the debate the minister
of finance was charged with failure to
take better offers which had been
made. He replied that Provisional
President Huerta and the other mem-
bers of the Mexican cabinet had urS-
ed upon him the immediate accept
ance of this loan, as the other offers
received necessitated more delay.
1T is still necessary for Congress to
vote upon the four articles of the
financial measure, but its approval OF
the general terms of the bill makes
it reasonably certain that it will also
approve all the details. The loan has
been placed with French bankers but
it is certain that British interests are
participating the names of the bank
ers have not been announced.

Dynamite Planter Breen, Already
Convicted, Tells of Offer Of Settle

Was Told That Wood Knew Nothing Of the P|0l
Sensational Evidence, with More 10 Follow.

Boston, May 21.-Somethine of what
went on behind the scenes when the
city ot Lawrence was in the threes OF
the great textile strike of 1912, was re-
ve:lled, today, at the dynamite con
spiracy trial of President William NJ.
wood Of the American Wooden Co,
Frederick e. Atteaux and Dennis j.
Collins, by John j. Breen, convicted
and confessed Planter" of dynamite.

ers eliminated idst before adjourn
meht in his declaration that he had
refused to accept $1,000 from Atteaux's
attorney, Daniel II. Coakley, the law

Testimony previously introduced was
that eight persons who had been ar
rested when dynamite was found il

renee had later brought damage suits
against Breen, who had PLANTED" the
explosive.
i5recn testified that he had gone to
Atteaux to get $4,000, after his own
counsel had told him that all of the
suits could be settled for $4,000. AT
said. he did not know that a cheaper
settlement could be arranged, although
his attorney told him later that he
thought 5000 would be sufficient.
Attorney coakley's questions appar-
entity were intended to draw from the
witness the admission that while he
knew the damage suits could be set
tied at a lower figure. he was endeav-
oring to induce AtteauX to pay nm
$4,000.
During the examination. I3reen sal
that he had refused an offer of si0Vo
from CeaSley, because he would not
agree 10 its terms. Asked by the attor-
ney to tell what the terms were. Breea
replied:

to have organized another corporation

poration, at today's hearing or the
government suit to dissolve the cor
poration as an illegal combination.
The testimony was adduced from the
witness in cross examination by gov
eminent counsel in support of the
charge that the steel corporation is
monopoly. Mr.. Schwab said, how
ever, that ores could have been I'M :

corporation as big as the United

plants were located in the East. He
conceded on the other hand that
there were no other financial inter-
ests in the United States as strong
as those who went into the corpora

Rockefeller Standard Oil interests, the
Carnegie interests, and the Nv. II.
