HAVE CLUES TO
 BANK ROBBERY

Nashville, Tenn, March 20.-It was an- nounced tonight by the state insurance commissioners office that by Saturday night the department would have suf- ficient evidence to absolutely place the guilt for the robbery of the First Na- uonal bank of Gallatin, which occurred sometime Thursday night.
 From the evidence adduced thus far the detectives are convinced that the job was not done by yeggmen, but by some- one who had familiarized himself with the interior of the bank. No dynamite or nitroglycerin was used in opening the vault. No mark effacement of any kind was found on the vault doors. The door of the outside vault was operated by combination. The door to the inside vault was a time lock mechanism The triple time lock went off at $40 o'clock Friday afternoon. Bank officials said 1t had been set to go at ' a. m. Friday
 All but $500 of the S30710 missing was taken from the inside or money vault. All records of the bank and individual ledgers were burned in a heap in the middle of the floor of the main vault. Two hundred thousand dollars of loan notes were found scattered on the room of the directors. The bank claims it will pay dollar for dollar.

Probe Promises to Fore
 shadow Calmette Killing, Which Caused 1t

Paris, March 20.-Two former premiers of France. Joseph Caillaux and Ernest Monis and the chief public prosecutor of the republic, Victor Fabre. were ques- toned today by a parliamentary com nittee concerning their acts and motives Henri Rochette, who. it is averred, duped
 investors out of s3.ooO,0OO and ultimately escaped punishment.
 The death of Gaston Calmette editor of the Figaro. at the hands of Madame CaillauX caused this secret page in the judicial history of the country to be re- opened. Many of it's phases. still ob- ouiry with it's background of intense pub rivares are interwoven with the at strange transactions.
 While M. CaillauX, restless and with suppressed passion, replied to the ques- tions put to him by the members of the Investigating committee, the bells for M Calmette's funeral were tolling. Almost all the notable literary and dramatic per- sonages in Paris either were in the little church of St. Francis de Sales for the funeral service or followed the hearse to the cemetery. Former President I.oubert and former Premiers Briand and Bar thou were among the 9000 persons who went to the place of interment.

and condemn both the author and those who might have instigated 1t. They condemn also it's publication before it's contradiction by the governor.
 The governors friends believe that the statement, while false, was pub lished for various reasons, one of which was to detract from the effects of his speech against Ex-Gov B. B. Conner at the Grand theatre here next Monday night. They charge that the statement was actuated by political motives.
 That Lacys charge will be fully in vestigated there can be no possible doubt. It may be investigated at a special session of the legislature. The governor indicates that he will call the legislature together if it should become necessary to clear his name and his administration of the assault made against his character.
 The Montgomery county grand jury will assemble immedia tely, according to reports. to investigate Lacy's charges There will be summoned as witnesses all who have made public statements concerning the convict department de- falcation.
 Among those who will be summoned to testify before the grand jury, if
  former Governor Conner. Mir. Conner has made certain public statements con corning the division of the loot be- hind the capitol, and it is expected that ho will be asked to tell the grand jury what he knows concerning the matter
 There has been much comment heard as to the probable instigators of Lacy's statement. It is known that Col. F. G. Bowman of Birmingham and James G. Oakley were in Montgomery yesterday but ii is declared that they did not sec Lacy while here. Neither of them may have had any intimation that Lacy was preparing to give out a statement although the statement serves to cor roborate Oakley's testimony on the stand that he gave s21.5O0 to his chief clerk.
 Lacy's statement was the sole sub- ject of comment in Montgomery to- night

 We have no more desire to yield to law less lawyers than to Iawless laborers" said Thomas McKinnon Wood Secretary of State for Scotland, said, i've will carry home rule by agreement if we possibly can, but without it if We must"
 Augustine Birrell, chief secretary for Ireland in his speech, declared the gov e1nments proposals gave Ulster freedom from coercion for six years, and the scheme of Andrew Bonar Law, leader of the opposition in Parliament, meant i'm mediate coercion if a referendum went against Ulster.
