Cuts of California, formerly Mrs John

time given in California for such pur-
poses.

land hospital, and was received by +. r.
Gibson, treasurer of the Hospital asso-
citation. The sum of $4,000 goes TO the

bility the $4,000 would be instituted as
a fund, and the income used as seemed
wise. II is not, at present at least, pro-
posed to use the principal.

in all probability be made into the nu-
.leus of a building fund, according to
various officers of the association, and

INTIMATE LETTERS
CAUSE CURIOSITY
Parisians on the Qui vive Whether Con-
tents of Letters Will Be Made
Public in Court.

Paris, July 24.-"Call Madame Guey
dan" was the command of Judge Albane
when court opened to-day for the tria
of Madame Caillaux for the murder Of
iGaston Calmette, editor OF Figaro. In
terest to-day centered around the inti-
mate letters which were referred TO N
yesterdays testimony Great curiosity
was awakened whether they would be
read in court or communicated privately
to the Jury.
M. Cecealdi an intimate friend of Call
laux, was the first witness. He amazed
those in the court by giving testimony
in the form of speech in which he re-
viewed the political and newspaper at
taeks on the former premier. His au-
ditors kept up continual uproar of pro-
test or approval After he had been
speaking for an hour, Premier Barthou
was called to the stand. Caillaux also
spoke briefly before Madame Gueydan
appeared.
Maitre Lahore returned the letters to
Madame Gueydan and asked her what
were her wishes in the matter She said:
Il do not care what you do. Publish
them all if you want to-"
Thereupon, it was decided to place
three of the letters among the papers
of the case but to read only one after
the recess.
For three hours yesterday afternoon
Nine. Gueydan, Joseph Caillaux' first
wife, occupied the stand. In that time
sne laid bare many of the secrets of her
life with NJ Caillaux, She described her
methods of defense against what she
termed "the Machiave vellian manpuvres
of an unfaithful husband" She testified
that he even threatened her life.
Then she left him, and hoped that he
would follow her, but he did not, and
she added, with fash of her eyes and
a tightening of her lips.

The sympathies of those in the court
room she gained rapidly, with telling |
phrases and verbal shafts that seemed to |
sink deep. There were murmurs of APP !
plause despite the admonitory rappings |
Of the judges pencil and his threats to
clear the court. When she returned to
her place, many crowded around her with
hands and cries of Bravo"
NJ. Caillaux, returning to the bar, said;
IN. Labori was right in thanking
Nine. Gueydan for the letters. The ca
umny does not come from us, but from
persons who used methods against us

$65,000 is DUE
VERMONT FARMERS
Out of 100000 Which Boston Condensed
Milk Co. Owes to Milk Producers
Throughout New England
An Offer Is Made.

Rutland, July pa financial state
ment from two OF the three trustees of
the Boston Condensed Milk company of
Boston, which was given yesterday aft
ernoon before meeting OF between 80
and 40 farmers from this and Addison
counties, included debt Of about $780,
900 to milk producers in New England
states and approximately $65,000 is
owed TO the farmers of Vermont A. b.
Turner and G. B. Wilbur of Boston, rep
resenting banking houses, together with
a legal representative met the local del
egation yesterday afternoon and they
came to Vermont in the hope of present
ing proposition which will result in
the further shipment of milk Although
no definite action was taken at the meet
ing il is not probable that the farmers
will again begin shipments, unless the
foreign company place a $4,000 bond
properly endorsed in the hands of the
secretary of state.
The farmers who conduct big daries
and produce milk in this vicinity have
for the last number Of years sold milk
to foreign companies in Boston and New
York. Recently the Boston" Condensed
Milk company failed to send the month
ly checks and the milk supply gradually
dropped until on July 0 the Boston car
was discontinued.
Since that time the farmers have been |
making butter. selling their milk TO the
New York company or making use of |
the fluid on the farm.
Mr. Wilbur and Mr. Turner and their |
houses sold something like 100000 /
worth of stock in this company to their
clients and when the company went
wrong they offered to take up the task
Of getting the concern TO its feet if such
a thing il possible. They stated yester-
day that they were serving without com
pensation and were even paying their
own railroad fares. 1t was simply an
sold their friends.
If the farmers start the shipment of
milk into Boston the bankers will guar
lntee the monthly payments and they
Ilso promise TO pay the back bills out of
let proceeds, When the law went into
fleet calling for the bond this company
ormed the Boston Dairy company of j
Vermont and thus escaped the filing of
'ond, claiming the dairy company was Z
ocal organization. Now that the fall
las come the farmers have no way of /
orcing a collection OF the se5.00O that is [
ue them. III
In the statement made by the trustees
yesterday afternoon they claim that the
ompany has assets Of sl25.000 in book
ccounts and such and they also claim 7
ssets Of 100000 in real estate
Mr.. Turner and Mr.. Wilbur left on
he northbound flyer. At meetings held \
| Middlebury and Vergennes last night, 8
he same proposition was advanced to
ne farmers of that locality. :
