 M. Caillaux contented himself with is- suing categorical denials. But on March 1S, the Figaro printed fac siinile of a letter from NJ. Caillaux to an intimate friend, dated "The Senate.

Caillaux was minister of finance in the Waldeck- Rousseau cab- inct-in which he said he had been sue cessful in crushing the income tax, all though seemingly he was defending the tax This brought matters to a climax and it was understood that the finance minister undertook proceedings against M. Calmette for publishing a private let ter without authority either from the sender or receiver.
 Much mystery is attached to the let ter. a facsimile of which the Figaro printed on March 13.
 Madame Caillaux affirms that the letter was addressed to her and that che learned that N. Calmette intended to publish several other letters of an even more intimate character. This the Figaro denied.

Surprise Expressed

Washington, March 16.-Surprise was ex- pressed by officials of the department Of commerce when they were informed to- night that the board of steamboat in- spectors at Philadelphia had rendered q divided opinion in the Berry trial, and that one of the members had held Cap tain Johnson guilty. Ii was pointed out that the latter had appeared only as a witness in the case and had not been rep resented by counsel
 Under the law there would have been no appeal if the board had acquitted Cap tain Berry. As it is. the case will go to Captain Seeley at New York, supervising inspector of the district. If Captain See ley finds either or both of the shippers guilty. an appeal may be made to the steamboat inspector general here, George C. uhler, whose decision would be final.

This announcement was made today after the introduction in the House of the re- vised bill to create an interstate trade commission a bill over which conflict of opinion has developed among democratic leaders.
 Although the new House bill has the approval of President Wilson and Attor- ney General McReynolds, members of the Senate committee on interstate com mcrce. did not hesitate to assert today that they had completed a measure to create a trade commission with broader powers. and that they would urge the acceptance of the principles of their bill in any legislation to provide for trad. commission.
 The Senate bill. 1t was said, would cnr. power the proposed commission to insti- tute investigations on it's own initiative as to whether corporations operate in viola ton Of the Sherman act. and it's cham pions declare that elinu4ation of the n- itiative in the House bill would robe the proposed commission of effectiveness.
 Would Be of Little Value
 "A trade commission which could Gnder- take no investigation except by direction of the President, Attorney General or either House of Congress, as the House bill proposes will be of little value" said Senator Robinson of Arkansas, member of the interstate commerce committee to- day.
 If the proposed commission is to have no more authority than that. why have one? The bureau of corporations as now constituted is capable of carrying on such investigations very well"
 f.t on the Senate bill will be made, because of the practical decision to incorporate all contemplated trust. legislation in one measure. Besdest providing for the trade commission. prevalent idea at this time in the Senate committee, is to add a section to prohibit certain forms of in- terlocking directorates, and one to pro- hibt or regulate holding companies.

January l2. and brought to Denver. The manner in which she left the camp was attended with great secrecy
 T fully expect to be rsturned to prison when I reach the strike zone. but no gov ernors nor President can make me absn- don my constitutional rights as a citizen to go where l please. So long as I live. I shall refuse to submit to military despotism..
 Mother Jones made this statement. after an interview with Governor Anl- mons late today. She reached Denver this morning.
 There is a radical difference between the statements of ''Mother" Jones and the state authorities as to the manner in which she left the hospital. The strike utciaftS Sht sinpiN WAS that she was brought to Denver under military escort and at state expense, without having ever given her consent to leaving the strike zone
 Was Willing to Leave

to prepare himself for entering the race
to win the title of speed champion of the

changes have been forced which leave the
team in an unsettled condition. Coaches
Merrill and Gale, nevertheless. expect to
make the Bath aggregation travel some
in the Saturday game and the intentions
of the team coincide with the expecta-

tatoes. Late in the afternoon the horses
appeared in the farmhouse yard, draw
ing the loaded team. but without Mr..

Harvest Supper

A Harvest supper was held Thurs
day evening at the Highland Avenue
Methodist vestry. Really that tells the
whole story for the suppers as served
by the Ladies' Aid of this church
have become so widely known that
they have become part of the pleas
ing history of Gardiner. Although the
sprinkling of rain began to fall just
about the time supper was served it
was not enough to keep the people
away in any great degree and the ia
bles were well filled. From the first
course to the delicious baked Indian
pudding, which seemed as though
grandmother had surely baked it her
self in the old fashioned brick oven,
everything must have satisfied the
most fastidious.
The following were the ladies In
charge: Mrs. E. C. Dill. Mrs Willis
Cunningham, Mrs. L. w. Goodspeed,
Mrs. Newell Reed. Mrs. Nickerson,
Mrs. A. H. Jones. Mrs. c. A. Drawn,

SUE SHERIFF OF
PENOBSCOT FOR
ILLEGAL ARREST

Bangor, Me, Oct. 15.--The suit
brought by Mrs BERTHE Falcon, wife
Of Reuben Falcon of Rowland, against
Sheriff J. Fred OConnell, for alleged
illegal Imprisonment, occupied all of
the morning session of the supreme
court before Associate Justice A. NJ
Spear, Thursday morning.
Mrs. Falcon has brought suit against
the sheriff for the alleged acts of his
two deputies. Joseph w. Mullen of
Corinna and George j. Payne of Ply
mouth, in causing her arrest on the
first day of August, last year.
Messrs. Mullen and Payne were dep
uty sheriffs at that time and they
went to Rowland to search the house
of Reuben Falcon for intoxicating
liquors. 1t is alleged by them that
Mrs. Falcon was guilty of a INSIDE
meanor in spilling certain liquors, and
that for this reason she was placed
under arrest and brought to Bangor.
The warrant against Mr.. Falcon, I'M
der which the deputies made the sell
zure, was, according to the deputies,
sufficient authority for them to take
Mrs. Falcon on the charge of obstruct-
ing officers in the performance of their
duties.
Mrs. Falcon contended that the war
rant was not legal one, and conse-
quently there was no authority for
her arrest. She alleged in the writ
that she was brought from Rowland
to Bangor, and kept in restraint for
a period of three hours and that she
was held in servitude at the Bangor
Jail for q period of four hours.
She was obliged, she contended, to
pay a certain sum of money to a bail
commissioner in order to secure her
freedom, and that it took two days
of her time to obtain her discharge
from the alleged illegal Imprisonment.
Owing to the humiliation and mortifi-
cation to which she was subjected by
being taken through the streets of
Rowland and Bangor in the custody of
the officers the plaintiff alleged that
she became i'll and remained SC for a
long time.
considered herself damaged to the
amount of $4,000 and sued the sheriff
to recover that sum.
Inc warrant upon WHICH, liiS oiiSiAit
relied for justification played an i'm
portant part in the trial, and the
court ruled as a matter of law that
the warrant or paper purporting to
be a warrant claimed to be the justifl-
cation on the part of the deputy sher-
ifs in making the arrests, showed on
the face of 1t lack of jurisdiction,
certain necessary allegations being
lacking He admitted the warrant for
the purpose of it's bearing on the
amount of damages and to show
whether or not the officers acted with
malice.
Exceptions were taken to his ruling
by counsel for the sheriff.
Edward p Murphy. Esq, appeared
as counsel for the plaintiff and Coun-
ty Attorney Donald F. Snow and Judge
B. w. Blanchard appeared for the
sheriff
