Friends Recover from Murder
Shock and Shower Her
With Gifts.

PARIS, March 21.--Mme. Caillaux,
the assassin of CASTOR Calmette, was
showered with attention today. Her
friends and acquaintance, having
partly recovered from the shock by
her act, are now showing their in
terest in her fate, and hundreds of
them have written to her or left cards
at the gate OF st, Lazare prison,
where she is in custody. She receives
a huge bag of letters in every mail,
as well as great bouquets of flowers,
baskets of fruit and packages Of
books.
Nine. Caillaux passed the greater
part of the forenoon in answering her
correspondence, reading the newspa-
pers and conversing with her hus-
band and her little daughter.
The sharp watchfulness Of the
prison wardens and the attendant
nuns, which had been called forth by
rumors of the prisoners intention to
commit suicide, has now relaxed.
Nine. Caillaux gives no indication of
being morbid or depressed.
She now has three cells, one OF
them serving as a bedroom, another
as a dining room and third as a
workroom. All open into the same
corridor, which Is inclosed by a finely
meshed wire netting.

AMMUNITION RAID
REVEALS CASTRO
IN PORT Of SPAIN
Weapons Are Seized in Hotel
Occupied Almost Solely by
Venezuelans.

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, March
n.-General Cipriano Castro, former
distator OF Venezuela, whose where
abouts had been unknown for several
monhs, was discovered here today.
A party of detectives last night
raided a hotel occupied almost solely
by Venezuelans and found there 10000
rounds of ammunition and few re-
volvers. This discovery led to a fur
ther raid early today. The police
proceeded to a house which had been
occupied for several months by GEN
eral Carmelo Castro, brother of the
former president. Armed with a
search warrant they went over the
place. Among the effects of the oc-
cupants they found only one revolver
and few cartridges.
On entering one of the rooms, how
ever they found 1t occupied by Cen
eral Cipriano Castro himself. The
one-t time dictator was extremely in
dignant over the procedure of the
police, whose methods he denounced
AS harsh and unnecessary.
It is stated that Sir George LIE
Hunte, the Governor, cabled to Lon
don today for instructions from the
foreign office regarding Castro. The
police disclaim any intention of inter-
fering with the generals liberty, but
among the Venezuelan residents there
is great excitement in regard to pos
sible developments.
Great crowds assembled in the vi
cjnity of the house when the report
spread that General Castro had been
found, but the police soon dispersed
them.

There was no opposition to the at

SUMMIT. March 21.-Thonas Baird,
oVerseer of the poor here, today sent
70 the State Asylum for the Insane
at Norris Plains Miss Beatrice Day,
forty-three years old, who lost her
mind from brooding over the fact she
was not the legally adopted daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. T.. Day, of 16 Nor
wood avenue, Summit, her foster par
ents.
Considerable mystery surrounds the
entrance of Miss Day into the home
of her foster parents. She was girl,
five years old, when the Days, thirty
eight years ago, informed their
friends the little girl neighbors saw
as their daughter. At that time the
Days We're wealthy, and Beatrice, as
the adopted child was named, was
given every advantage. She was edu-
Gated at good schools, taught music
and aided in acquiring other accom-
plishments.
About a month ago Miss Day quar-
relied with her foster parents, who
now are old and feeble. In the course
of the alteration Miss Day learned
the Days never had been granted pa
pers making her their legally adopted
daughter. When she heard this she

After leaving the Day home Miss
Day became moody. She told friends
how the knowledge she was a found
ling, lacking even foster parents, hurt
her. She failed in health and spirit,
until a few days ago friends of the
woman informed Poormaster Baird
they believed her to be insane. Physi-
clans examined Miss Day, announced
she was mentally unsound and ad-
vised she be taken to the insane

The trouble at Trenton Is tnat Lne
leaders of the dominant party knows
absolutely nothing about fish, the
price Of it, or the amount used. They
know more about tax acts and pub
lie utilities than they do Of the food
question Some of the members have
frequently asked The Star repre-
sentative why the people don't APP
pear at Trenton and ask for some
leg station in regard to the matter,
or to urge the passage OF the blll
now before them. This has been
answered by asking them If the peo-
pie lobbied for the passage of the
bank tax act" or any of the other
measures that the legislators think
are just what is needed.
In the opinion of those who are
acquainted with Legislative work it
should not be necessary for the peo-
Die TO lobby for any bill that directly
or indirectly benefits them. They
elect the members of the Legislature
to look out for their interests and to
protect them against any and all com
binations that are detrimental to the
peoples interests.
If the people are to be compelled
to pay expenses and loose valuable
time in order to tell the legislators
what they want. then it is time that
the people voted themselves on such
mea sures. An intelligent man should
have no trouble in seeing the plain
proposition that The Evening Star Is
putting forth in the campaign for
cheaper food fish, 1t simply wants
TO have the state to take charge Of
'ts own property and sell it to the
people instead OF allowing resi-
dent commission men to reap a for

London Paper Gets Newe OF
Two Companies Laying

MANY OFFICERS, ORDERED

Unionists Are Guarding Car
son in Castle.

LONDON, March 21--A mutinly Of
two companies of the Dorsetshire
Regiment stationed In Belfast is re-
ported by the Pail Mall Gazette
The Pail Mall Gazette's message
says: when the men of the first
battalion of the Dorsetshire Regi-
ment were paraded in Belfast today
and notified that they were being
transferred elsewhere they threw
down their arms. A sergeant stepped
forward, saluted the officers and
said: We will have no home rule
here.''
This Is thought in some quarters
to be an exaggerated version of the
reports of unrest among the regular
troops in Ulster.
The outstanding feature of the news
from Ireland today was the disaffec-
tion among the officers of the regular
army under orders to proceed to
Ulster with their regiments.
The actual number of designations
among them was still problematicai.
but that ii was considerable was
evident from the earnest early MORN
ing consultations of cabinet ministers
regarding the best means of counters
acting the movement
The actual fact of this disaffectiou
is the more discomforting to the mill
tary authorities, since the army is
already short of commissioned off.
GERS.
Threats of crisis in the army IL
a movement of regular troops was
undertaken against Ulster had long
been current, and in some quarters
1t is believed that the sudden march
ing of limited number of troops
was ordered SO that the military au-
thorities might gather an idea as to
how widespread the threatened dis
affection was.
Vacancies Rapidly Increasing.
Immediately after Colonel Seely,
the secretary of state for war, had
been in audience with K 'ng George
at buckingham Palace this morning.
| Colonel Keely summoned q meeting
| of the army council which took the
necessary steps to replace officers who
| had resigned,
| According to reports, however, the
1 number of vacancies Is rapidly In
| creasing, and 1t seems poss 'ble that
all the regular regiments which hava
been serving in Ulster may have to
be withdrawn and replaced by fresh
i troops, as both men and officers have
openly expressed their disinclination
| to take the offensive against men
with whom they have been fraterEis-s
ing.
| Tbs momentary shifting of the inn
mediate crisis from Ulster to the
army may give the peacemakers
their desired opening.
| Balfour's Return Gives Hope.
The return of Arthur j, Balfour,
former Unionist premier, to Londons

Asquith have served long years side
