Tragedy.
Paris, March lS.-The bitterest po-
litical strife since the conflict grow
ing out of the Dreyfus case was pre-
dicted for France following the sensa-
tional shooting of CASTOR Calmette,
editor of the Figaro, by Nine. Gail
laux, wife of the minister of finance,
Joseph Caillaux.
Calmette died shortly after the
shooting from four bullet wounds in
his chest
The beautiful Nine. Caillaux is con-
fined In the st. Lazare woman's pris-
on. Caillaux has submitted his resig-
nation from the cabinet. In some
quarters the resignation of the entire
cabinet is demanded
Government, society and political
circles were stirred to their base by
the sensational developments In the
bitter feud between CaillauY and the
editor, but standing above all was the
fact that two women have been the
forces behind the political war. The
former Nine. Dupree, who married and
was then divorced by Caillaux, had
been intimate with Calmette. She is
believed to have furnished the editor
with letters published in the Figaro
which SO aroused Nine. Caillaux that
she took the editors life.
Mime. Dupree Seeks Revenge.
The letters which we're published
were written to the present Nine.
Caillauy before she became the wife
of the minister and Nine. Dupree is
believed to have turned them over to
Calmette that she might be avenged.
Caillaux is the most pitiful figure in
all Paris. The press is merciless in
its denunciation The public is ex-
tremely hostile and the minister bare
ly escaped being mobbed as he came
from the prison after visiting his wife.
The shooting, according to the wom-
an, was deliberate. 1t occurred in the
editors office as he was preparing to
leave with Paul Borget, the author.
After the shooting Nine. Caillaux
said:
Take me where you will. Since
there is no justice in this country
took on myself an act of Justice
Nine Caillaux is the minister's third
wife.

TWO GIRLS ARE
HEROiNES OF FIRE

of Wellesley Hall.
DAMAGE ABOUT Sl,5W,OOO

Three Hundred Students, Members
of Faculty and Servants Escape
Safely, but Lose All Personal Be-
Ioneines-school Compelled to Close
Until April 2.
Wellesley, Mass, March 1S.-Two
hundred and fifty Wellesley students
and 100 other persons, including men,
bers of the faculty and servants, fed
for their lives when fire destroyed
College hall, the largest and most
pretentieus of the buildings in the
college group. No one was injured.
The loss is estimated at Sl,500,000.
The college sessions temporarily
have been suspended and special
trains were made up to take the girls
to their homes. Practically all of
those who had rooms in the building
lost their personal possessions and
clothing.
The suberb behavior of the young
women probably prevented heavy loss
of life or injury to many who CROPPED
through smoke filed halls and down
the stairways and fire escapes to safe

Three hundred and fifty persons
slept in the dormitories-250 students,
fifty members of the faculty and fifty
maids employed by the faculty and
students.
Two Girls Are Heroines.
Miss Charlotte Donnell of Wiscasset,
Me-, and Miss Virginia Moffat of Or
ange, n. j., both seniors, were the
heroines of the fire. They occupied
rooms on the third floor, under the
laboratory, where the fire originated,
supposedly from spontaneous combus-
ton
Their rooms faced on the court
round which the building was con.
structed, and the glare of the flames
aroused them. Miss Donnell rang the
fire alarm and Miss Moffat hurried
along the halls, pounding on every
door. She was joined later by Miss
Donnell and every person in the build.

were filled with startled young WON

their arms, but the greater number
had not waited to save their belong
ings.

In consequence. both teams are

of the other college squads can APP

ceptioually good teams even for
them, and there appears no doubt
that first and second place rests be-
tween them.
Just now Penn looks a shade The
stronger of the two on paper, but
this is largely because of the added
presence of Ted Meredith, who won
the quarter at the Stockholm Olym-
pic, and who viii be eligible because

He is being counted on by the
Quakers not only for a first in the
quarter, but for the same place in

mighty big request of one man, and
Ted may not be equal to the job
As Penn has also lost Mercer, who
scored five points for them last year
IN the broad jump, she may find it
difficult to make as many points as
she did last year. However, the
loss of John p. Jones by Cornell in
the mile will even mp.
