rs "A RESULT OF A REMARK
Publication Of Details Of Quar-
rel between Judges Forces
Issuance of Challenge.

PARIS. July 25-A challenge to
q duel was sent today by Judge Al
banei, presiding judge of the court
trying Nine. Caillaux for the murder
OF CASTOR Ca1mette. to Judge de-
goury, one Of the three other judges
sitting on the bench with him.
The quarrel between the two
judges arose out of an incident which
occurred at the Palace Of Justice late
last night but the nature Of which
could not be ascertained.
The seconds appointed by Judge
Albanel are General Dalstein, for
mer military governor of Paris, and
Emile Laborie.
When the discussion concerning
the reading Of Mite. Suaydan's ~
tiers seemed to be going unfavorable
for the defense during yesterdays
hearing, Judge Albanel announced
that there would be recess. The

admitted that he had said more than
he had meant to say and apologized.

and Chenu interviewed as peacemakers
and the incident was regarded as
closed. This morning, however, a re-
port Of 1t was made public on the
front page of Figaro. which left
Judge Albanel no option but to send
his seconds to his colleague.

TIME IS PRECIOUS DURING
FIRST PERIOD OF CAMPAIGN
First Period of Prize and Travel
Club Campaign Will Close
in Six Short Days.
OFFER CLOSES TONIGHT
Work Done at This Critical
Time Will Have Three Dis
tinCt AdvantaneS.

Y
The next few days are certainly
going to be important. and eventful
to considerable number of the res
idents Of Clarksburg and vicinity
In this time question of the very
greatest importance to those who
are contending in the Daily Tele-
grams prize and travel club subscrip-
ton campaign will be settled. This
question is the one of the beautiful
$125 diamond ring which the Daily
Telegram has offered to the Compel
itor who turns in the greatest amount
of money on new subscrip-
lions during the first period which
will close next Saturday night at .
o'clock.
In still another sense. these few
days will be important to those same
citizens. The first period of the
campaign will come to a close at
that time. or, in other words. at y
O'Clock Saturday night, August 1. At
the end Of the first period the voting
values of the club certificates for ev-
cry $40 worth of subscriptions will
be greatly reduced and competitors
who pitch in and work with all their
hearts and strength from now until
August will not only be working to
win the handsome diamond ring, but
they will also be working to secure
the high value first period bonus
votes and insure their success in the
race for one Of the grand prizes.
Work done during the next six
days will have three distinct ad-
vantages-it may win the diamond
ring. 1t viii secure the highest val
ues in winning the bonus votes, and
It may insure victory in -the case
of one Of the grand prizes at the
end. The one effort now counts for
both prizes, the diamond ring and
one Of the other magnificent prizes,
and in working for both competitors
are almost sure to win one. The
competitors who work hardest in the
next few days to win the diamond
ring, will necessarily have given
himself or herself consider
able advantage In the large
race for one Of the grand prizes.
This advantage gained, the prize
should easily be theirs for It is only
necessary for them to preserve their
lead to be the prize winner at the
end.
SIX days is not whole lot Of
time. In fact, 1t is so short time
that not minute can be let go by
unprofitably without inviting defeat
for the competitors cherished hopes.
success IN the campaign is purely
nnd simply q matter Of work. Some
may thing that luck may have some
thing to do with It. but 1t is not. 1t

HAMMONDSPoRT. N. Y, July rs.
Lieutenant John G. Porte will not
attempt to fly across the Atlantic I'M
til October /. This decision was
reached today as the result Of con-
ference between Glenn Curtiss, Lieu
tenant Porte and VIII Cash, the per-
sonal representative OF Rodman
Wanamaker.
Mr.. Curtiss said that while It was
possible to reassemble the machine
and rush 1t to New York in time for
the steamer sailing for New Found
land August /, was advisable to
take time to rebuild the machine
properly and to make changes sug-
gested by the experiments of the Last
month. He added the boat had been
SO weakened by the rapid temporary
alterations that 1t would be unfair
to Lieutenant Porte as well as to the
entire project to endanger success by
an ill-prepared start.

When Words "Press a Million
Kisses over Your Dear Body"
Are Read in Court.

PARIS, July 25.-Mme. Caillaux,
soon after she was brought into court
today for the sixth days hearing on
the charge Of numbering CASTOR Cal
mette, totally collapsed when the
reading began Of the letters handed
In by Nine. Gueydan. She was car
ried insensible from the court. The
sitting Of the court was suspended
amid great uproar.
AS soon as the court had opened
today Maitre Labori began reading
some Of the letters. He remarked
when he took up the second one. Tin

Caillaux, before his divorce from
Nine. Gueydan, referred to the hap
piness he would feel when he could
press a million kisses over your
dear body"
While the reading was going on
Nine. Caillaux was crying bitterly.
Then with q sign she fell PROSTATE
to the floor. Two republican guards
standing near carried her out Of the
chamber. The four judges at once
rose from their seats and Judge Al
banel announced the suspension of
the hearing.
Nine. Caillaux later recovered con-
seriousness and said she felt strong
enough to go on with the hearing. Her
husband then assisted her into the
prisoners enclosure and a chair was
brought for her to sit on instead OF
the prisoners bench. She was livid
and haggard and her features were
drawn. After he had seen her COM
fortably arranged, NJ. Caillaux took
his place once more among the wit
nesses and Maitre Labori made the
announcement that no more letters
would be read.
The letters were written In the
second person singular indicating the
closest friendship. The first Of them
said, "My dear little Ri-Ri ian at
