Paris, July 21.--Joseph Cailiaux
held the court for two intense hours
today testifying in defense of his
wife, charged with killing CASTOR
Calmette, editor of the Figaro on
March IL last. The appearance of
M. Caillaux was hardly less dramatic
than that of Nine Caillaux yester-
dag.
The former premier, still one of
the most powerful men in France,
dominated the proceedings, impos-
ing upon them his personality and
uncommon gift of leadership.
II accused myself" he cried in a
climax. II committed a fault. /
should myself have acted, but alb
sorbed by public affairs, failed to
realize the rayages Calmette's
calumnies had made upon the soul
of my WIFE"
M. Caillaux spoke in a voice
high and sharp in quality, some
times rising to falsetto In moments
of excitement. He gesticulated
freely, pointing singularly long
forehnger as he addressed the Judge
and jury and occasionally moved
it in the direction of his wife.
He would, he said, tell the Jury of
| his private life from his first mar
riage to the sad event which caused
his presence on the stand. He ex-
| planned the incidents Of the two
letters which he supposed had been
destroyed before his divorce from
his frat wife. He only knew of
their existence when friend
warned him that they were about
to be published.
When he married Nine. Raynou-
ard, he knew for the first time what
true happiness was. When he
spoke of her, Nine. Caillaux blushed
crimson and bowed her head in her
hands and sobbed violently.

expressed it last evening before rleav-

to conclude his campaign.
r. Thousands Hear Bryan.
Immense crowds greeted Secretary
of State VIM. J. Bryan, during his brief
tour of the state, on which he spoke
in several cities in the eastern part of
the state including, Grand Forks and
Fargo, and it is claimed by Democrats
that his influence will aid materially
in the election of a Democratic Gov

Bartholomew is the man whom Bryan
endorsed in his recent speech in Fargo
for being a Democrat and a good, hard
worker at that). William Jennings
Bryan could see nothing but a yalu-
able man in Bartholomew to aid Presi-
dent Wilson in his measures before
the house. ss.
Energetic, active hardworking, and
a good business man, and a man who
has the interest of the district lat

Eleventh Hour
Attack. IS Made
on Spattldirog

Rugby, N. D., Oct. '30.-In an issue
of over hundred thousand copies of
a local weekly paper this week, an
eleventh hour attack is made upon
Judge B. F. Spalding, candidate for
reelection to the supreme court.
The two main charges made are
that Judge Spalding has favored big
business in his decisions on the bench
and that he is responsible: for the
court being behind in it's decisions.
The latter charge is too absurd to
discuss, every attorney of the state
knows better, for the supreme court
Of this state is known throughout the
west as being unusually prompt in dis
patching the cases that come before
it and giving as early decision as
possible. s*7t a., 4. .,'5s s., :z..l
The charge that Judge Spalding Is
allied with big business has about as
much foundation as does the other
charge. The fact of the matter is that
Judge Spalding is now being opposed
by every corrupt politician in the

state, the very men who are agents
for big business in North Dakota are
Judge Spaldings most bitter enemies
they are the men who are backing the
fight against him. =.
A specimen Of Judge spaldings de-
cisions may be found in the case OF
Satterberg VS.. the 500 railroad, in
which the road was sued for damages
for the death of Satterberg. Attorneys
for the 500 were A. M. Christianson
Judge spalding's present opponent)
and Watson & Young. The supreme
court, opinion by Spalding, decided
against the railroad, and gave dam
ages to the widow. ...
The effect of the eleventh hour at
tack has served to divert many votes
from Judge spalding's opponent 10
cally and it is thought here che SAINT
will be true all over the state, ant
that the voters generally will resent
this dirty attack by standing behind
Judge Spading solidly.

Bismarck, N. D. Oct 80 - The
supreme court on Wednesday issued
a mandamus order directing the board
Of equalization to reconvene and levy a
tax of one and one-eighth mills for the
educational institutions of the state.::-
Heretofore the board had exceeded
the four mill limit set by the constitu.
tion, but this year kept within the
limit by reducing all state taxes to the
required amount. This action Of the
board reduced the educational insti
tutions' income about $143,00O. The
court gives this money to the institu
tions and compels the board to levy
the necessary fund.
The board will convene in a few
days. It cannot be learned just
what the members of the board think
Of the decision, though 1t is generally
understood that it is far from satisfac
tory to them.
The decision, coming on he eve OF
the election, causes much speculation
in political circles as to the effect in
various directions. That it will be
used in the gubernatorial fight is ar
gued freely.
