WIFE or FRENCH MINISTER OF

PARIS FIGARO.
MURDER RESULT OF FEUD
Affair Has Held the Attention of
French Capital for Some Time
Noted Journalist Had Accused Of
ficia! of Corruption.

Paris, March 18.--Gaston Calmette,
editor of the Figaro and a noted
journalist, paid the penalty of the un-
written French law which forbids
that the honor of a woman shall be
dragged into a public controversy.
He was assassinated, his body rid
died with bullets, by Nine. Henriette
Caillaux, wife of Joseph Caillaux, min
lister of finance, who had been the OBJ
ject of bitter personal attacks pub
lished In Figaro and signed by Cal
mette. He died on Monday.
The Caillaux Calmette feud had held
the attention of Paris for long time.
The Figaro editor repeatedly accused
the finance minister of political corrup-
ton. The feud reached it's climax last
week when the Figaro published the
contents of love letters that Caillaux
wrote to his present wife in 1901-be-
fore they were married and when she
was the wife of Leo Claretie, the lit
erary critic of the Figaro.
1t was not to avenge the attack upon
her husband, but to vindicate her own
honor that Madame Caillaux started
out to shoot Calmette With a pistol
concealed in her muf she went to the
Figaro Office at the busiest time of the
evening and sent up her card to Cal
mette's room.
Paul Bourget, the famous novelist
and academician, was with the editor
when her card was received. Cal
mette was astounded when he learned
the identity of his caller.

vised.
'She is a woman" Talmette replied
81 must receive her"
Bourgett thereupon wished his friend
goodnight and withdrew.
Immediately upon entering the room
Nine. Caillaux raised her arm and
fred five shots at a distance Of six
PAGES. Calmette fell without word
at the first shot and lay apparently
lifeless. After the fifth shot the at
tendants seized the woman, who re-
tanned perfect self possession.
1t was found that one bullet had
lodged in the groin, one had passed
through the ribs close to the heart.
He died few moments later.

STEADY TONE IN
 NEW YORK MARKET Business Restricted-Therc Is no Material Change in
 Spot Situation

New York, November 25.--While general business in the cotton market was re- stricted today by the fact that tomorrow is legal holiday, though Liverpool will remain open as usual, and by dispo- sition to await the effect of December notices on Friday. prices ruled steady, with the close steady at net advance of to g points. Uncertainty as to the action likely to be taken by the revision committee at the meeting of this after noon with reference to fixing differences between grades of spot cotton as applied to deliveries on December contracts. may also have had some deterring effect on fresh business, but spot houses were buy CTS of the near months against sales of May. and 1t was reported that some of the Wall street houses were considering the question of taking up cotton next Tuesday,
 The market opened steady at unchanged prices to a decline of points in response to somewhat easier cables. but soon flrmed up on covering, investment buying of October and little trade demand for spring and summer months. There was no aggressive support and trading was was very little eotSn offering %i oa and 1"ere ac tive months sold about Il to 1e points net higher in the late trading. The close was shade off from the best under realizing There was very little news from the south and nothing developed during the day to indicate any material change in the spot situation.

STRANGE NEW WORM
 IS DESTROYING CORN

Jackson. Miss, November 25.-(Special) George H. Edwards, railroad commis- sioner for the middle district. whose home Is at McCool, Attalla county, states that the farmers of his section of the state are liable to lose their entire crops of corn because of the advent of a heretofore un- heard of worm. This worm Is less than half an inch long, of a peculiar pink color and makes a nest or web at the but end of the cob, from whence 1t makes excursions up the ear, devouring the ker- nel of the grain. and as a matter of course running the corn. The worm finally be- comes a kind of weevil, brown of color. but very much like the familiar corn weevil, which is black.
 MT Edwards says that a few days since a farmer drove into McCool with load of corn to sell. He did not know there was anything the matter with his corn but crowd gathered around his wagon to investigate and found the load had been eaten up. As remedy or preven- tative the farmers are buying quantities of carbon disulphids which is placed in the crib.

COVERING KEEPS
 COTTON STEADY Shorts Even Cause Small Advance-Supply of Con-
 tracts Slender

New Orrleans, November 25.-Short covering kept the cotton market steady today and even sent prices up for a small advance after dullness had worked against prices to some extent. It was much of a holiday market, few traders caring to carry much cotton over Thanksgiving, especially as Fri day is first notice day for December in New York, where important devel- opments in that position are expected.
 At the lowest of the day prices were at decline of about points but this was followed by a rise of about 10 points. The close was unchanged to points up. compared with yesterday s close, new style contracts showing the most strength.
 The supply of contracts was slender at all times and the absence of selling power was the source of most of the strength displayed

WOULD PAY TODD
 INSTEAD OF MONEY

New York, November 25.-John E. storck, representative of an American importer with a factory ut Val St. Lam bert, Belgium, today discussed with the Belbium relief commission the advisa- bility of paying his employs in food instead of mony. He said his firm owed 5000 employees about s30,000, and was ready to pay this amount in cash, but he thought the workmen would prefer supplies.
 The commission informed Mir. StorclS that it could not undertake to forward food supplies in separate lots. From a writer who recently returned from Belgium, Mir StorclI learned that 1t probably would be possible to ship food to the workmen via Liege.

Of all the important factors. the steel inquiry almost alone continued to evlnce signs of baeiwardness. Large sales of pig iron were reported for the last few days, but tho real state of the trade was shown by the willingness of manufacturers to book orders for the first quarter of 1915 at present prices It was generally believed that unless business soon recovered in marked manner. price concessions and lower wages would soon be announced
