Normandy and Brittany, France, Suf

Waves Roll In.

PARIS. March IA terrific gale and
the highest tide OF the year today worked
great havoc along the coasts OF Normandy
and Brittany. In the bay OF ST. Michel.
In the southwestern part of Normandy
no such tide has been experienced In
forty years. Huge waves dashed to an
unusual height against the ramparts OF
Mount ST. Michel. a rocky little island In
the bay on which is situated the famous
old Benedictlne abbey. and the gardens
and fields in Avrancheo Genest and other
villages and towns on the coast We're
flooded Three hundred feet Of the sea
wall at Granville was swept away
The damage at Dleppe was very great.
A large portion of the promenade was
wrecked and harbor improvements under
construction were destroyed. Pebbles
were washed in by the sea In such guam
titles that the river Scle wns damned
at its mouth and the valley of the river
flooded for several miles.
In the region OF lie Treport. sixteen

Will Consume Much Time.

Not less than three weeks is the esti-
mate placed by District Attorney John
G.. Davis on the time which will be re-
quired TO secure jury and try the Mar
tin case. Others estimate that three
weeks Will be required to secure Jury.
On the ground that it would be next to
impossible TO obtain a jury in this coun"
ty and also that any jury secured here
would not be able TO give his client a
fair trial, Attorney Soren y. Christen-
sen proposed to move for change of
venue. He has failed TO take this ac-
tion, however, and it is not now anticir
pated by the district attorney that such
a motion will be made.
In anticipation of the Martin case, a
special panel of twenty prospective
iurymen has been drawn, and they, to-
gether with the thirty-five Jurors for
the March term, constitute total OF
fifty-five. Attaches of the court ex-
pect that this number will be exhausted
before the examination is well under
way. The attorneys contend that the
mere hearing Of the blackmail crimes
and the arrest Of Martin as suspect
does not disquaify man from acting
maintains that there arc probably few
residents Of Weber county who have
not formed an opinion as to Martin Z
guilt or innocence. In his statements
| at the time he succeeded Joseph Chez
as Martin S attorney following the pris
oner S attempted escape from the coun
ty Jail, the Salt Lake attorney said ht
was willing 20 try the case at any point
in Utah where a jury could be secured
without examining several hundred citi
zens, but preferred to take the case Il
Salt Lake county. District ATTORNEY
Davis announced from the start that
he would strcnuously oppose any at
tempted action to take the case out O.
Weber county.

in some force between Escalon and

against the president s plea, In that
event there will be minority report
upon which the controversy in the sem
ate will hinge. Aiding Senator Owen in

Gated that the president will be sus-

eign relations of the government, which
it il planned to undertake this week
for consideration, is the pending treaty
with Nicaragua, negotiated in the Taft

discovery of several more residents OF
Morgan who will declare that they saw
Martin and a companion in that town

to have been Martin spent that night
in barn and was suffering from fresh
shot wounds in the leg These wounds,
the man explained, had been received
while out duck hunting near Ogden
that day.
Another development is said to have
it's inception in the finding of pair of
shot SCARED rubber boots near the
scene Of the shooting on West Seven
teenth street. This find, according to
the report, was made only recently and
several persons, including Mrs. Fannie
Wilbur, 40l West Seventeenth street,
have been questioned regarding the mat
ter. The boots. which are believed to
have been discarded by one of the
blackmailers following the shooting of
Detective Edwards, are said to contain
buckshot holes which correspond in po-
sition TO the wounds in Martins leg.

or less in touch with the operations of
the private detectives working on the
case, they deny having knowledge OF
