GAILLAUx DEFENDS HIS WIFE.
Former French Premier Takes
Blame for CaImette's Death.

Paris, France.-Joseph Caiilaux held
the court for two intense hours testi-
tying in defense Of his wife, who sat
in the prisoners enclosure charged
with killing CASTOR Calmette, editor
of the Figaro. on March 10, last The
appearance Of N CaiIIaux was hardly
less dramatic than that Of Nine. Call
laux.
The former premier, still one Of the
most powerful men in France, domi-
mated the proceedings, imposing upon
them his personality and uncommon
gifts Of leadership.
I accuse myself, he cried in the
climax. Il committed a fault. I
should myself have acted, but absorbed
by public affairs, failed to realize
the raEages Calmette's calumnies had
made on the soul of my wife,
NJ. Caillaux spoke as if in the cham
Der, his voice of high tenor, softened
in quality, sometimes rising TO falsetto
in moments of excitement. He gestic-
ulated freely, pointing a singularly
long .forefinger as he addressed the
judges or jury, and occasionally moved
it in the direction of his wife.
The trial has entered on its political
phase and those who sat in the court
room had occasion to bring to mind
that Caillaux is the strong man Of the
radical group now ruling France

ELECTION TANGLES AHEAD
State Officials Expect Many Contests
This Year Because of Rulings on
Women Voters.

Kansas election officials see viz
ions Of many election contests in the
counties with first and second class
cities this year on account Of the wo-
men voters. Some city officials have
maintained that the women who regis
tered and voted at the last municipal
elections are legal voters for state
elections, while the attorney general
has held that they were not legal
voters unless registered after the con-
stitutionaI amendment was adopted.
This lack of uniformity in rulings
in the cities may cause a contest in
every close election in those cOun-
ties" said John Dawson, attorney
general while two men may be al
lowed to vote on this sort of regis
tration, that is no assurance the votes
will be counted in contest and might
make big change in the final result.
It is to avoid any possibility of con-
tests that we have urged all women
to be registered anew since the con-
stitutional amendment was adopted,
whether they voted in municipal cleo
lions or not

ULSTER REFUSES TO YIELD
Kings Conference at Buckingham Pal
ace Unable to Reach Agreement,
Says Premier Asquith.

London, Eng.-The fact that the
conference at Buckingham Palace be-
tween leaders of the various political
parties had been rendered abortive
by it's failure to agree on the area of
Ulster to be excluded from the con-
troll of the Dublin Parliament was con-
frmed by Premier Asquith in the
house OF commons.
Except among the extreme radicals
and labor members, who opposed the
conference, said the matter should
have been fought out on the floor of
the house of commons, it is felt in
parliamentary circles that the meet
ings Of the political leaders in Buck
ingham Palace have done some good.
It was pointed out that they had
shown how far the opposing Irish
parties were prepared to go and that
this would assist the government in
reframing its bill to amend the Irish
Home Rule bill.

EXECUTE CAPTIVES
Haitian FederaIs Search Out
and Kill Rebels After
Winning Battle.
SOUGHT REFUGE IN HOUSES
Victims From Hiding Places
and Shoot Them.

Washington, D. ca number of
Haitien rebels were summarily exc
cuted at Cape Haitien after the gov
hour battle in the streets with 500
revolutionists, who had gained en-
trance into the town early in the
morning before the garrison was
awake.
Captain Russell of the battleship
South Carolina reported the affair to
the navy department. His dispatch
said the government troopers, num-
bering 400, repulsed the attack with
loss Of eight men killed. The reb-
els, after losing thirty-one killed, fed
in disorder. Many sought refuge in
houses, from which they were dragged
later for execution. Captain RusseIrs
report, which came by wireless, says
in part:
Capt. RusseII's Report.
"At o'clock in the morning the
rebel forces, under Charles Salnavo,
gained an entrance into Cape Haitien
before they were discovered. The
government troops concentrated near
the point Of entry, successfully
stopped the advance. Each faction
stood its ground until the forts of St.
Michel and Bellaire opened with ar
tiIlery. Then the rebels began dis
orderly retreat. The rebels left their
dead and wounded on the field and
many threw away their arms. The
fighting lasted about two hours.
Between 200 and 300 mounted
troops arrived under the leadership
of Codio. It is impossible to make
an estimate of the number Of revo-
lutionists outside, as they are scat
tered over a large area"
Porto Ricans Rescued.
San Juan, Porto Rico-The United
States revenue cutter Algonquin has
arrived here from Puerto Plata, Do
minican Republic, with 166 refugees,
mostly Porto Ricans on board. One
woman died during the voyage from
the effects Of starvation. The condi-
| ton of those remaining in Santo Do
mingo was reported to be pitiable, as
it was almost impossible to obtain
foodstuffs, the prices Of which were
prohibitiye.
A report was brought here by the
! Algonquin that an American blue
jacket on board the gunboat Ma
chias had been shot in the leg by q
bullet from the shore.

EUROPE ON VERGE
OF ANOTHER War
Austria Gives SerVia But Few
Hours to Comply With
UItImatum.
WILL INVOLVE OTHER NATIONS
Russia Ready to Intervene in Effort to
Gain More Time for Servia-
Austrian Minister to Leave
Belgrade.

Vienna.-Baron Won Giesl de Gies-
lingen, the Austro-Hungarian minister
at Belgrade, has been instructed to
leave Servia with the entire legation
staff if the Servian government does
not notify him that it agrees without
delay to comply with the demands Of
Austria's note.
Although the peremptory character
of the ultitnatum and the brief time
allowed to Servia to reply came as
surprise to the Austrian public, the
governments action meets with popu-
lar approval.
The relations between Servia and
Austria were felt to have become in
tolerabIe. The attitude Of SerYia to-
ward Austria since Servia's success
in the last Balkan war has been I'M
bearabIe in its arrogance.
SerVia Hopes for Revolution.
1t was believed in Servia that the
time was ripe for the disintegration
Of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and
that Austria would suffer anything
rather than run the risk of European
war. Hence Servian statesmen as
pired to bring Bosnia and other Aus
trian Slav provinces under Servian
rule.
Germans and Austrians have for sey-
eral years attributed the bad trade in
the monarchy and the crushing taxa
ton caused by repeated notifications
to Servian hostile intrigues, and there
is a feeling of relief there that matters
now have been brought to a head and
that SerYia will be settled with once
for all.
It is believed here that the Servian
crown prince, who is now acting re-
gent during the kings illness, is I'M
der the influence of the war party and
will reject the ultimatum.
All members of the Austrian cabi-
net have returned to the capital. En-
peror Francis Joseph desired to come
here also, but has been persuaded to
remain at Ischl owing to the terrible
heat.
Russia Ready to Act.
st. Petersburg.-The Austro-Ser-
Wan situation was considered at a
four hours meeting of the cabinet
here. 1t is understood that as a result
Russia Immediately will intervene in
the controversy by asking Austria to
prolong the period it had given Servia
to reply to the ultimatum so that Eu-
ropean diplomats may have time to
act.

Jones IS OUT OF IT
Wilson WithdraWs Name of Chi
cago Man as Member of
Reserve Board.
PUTS STOP TO SENATE FIGHT
President Takes Sudden Action Only
After Receipt Of Urgent Re-
quest From Nominee

Washington, D. C.-Sudden with
dTawal by President Wilson Of his
nomination Of Thomas D. Jones OF
Chicago to be a member OF the fed
eraI reserve board has ended the bit
ter controversy over his confirmation
in the senate
Letters that passed between the
President and Mr.. Jones accompanied
the executive message and showed
that the Chicago lawyer requested the
action, and that the President com
piled with some regret that the fight
could not be carried through TO a
finish
Could Have Been Conf1rmed.
President Wilson is said TO have
been determined TO press Mr. Jones
nomination until now, when he con
Guided that the Democratic antitrust
program might be endangered If the
fight in the senate was continued. Sen
ator Lewis of Illinois, who championed
the cause Of Mr.. Jones, said that, had
the President kept his name before
the senate, Mr.. Jones would have been
confirmed.
The President has been assured that
the nomination OF Paul NJ WarbuTg
can be confirmed in the senate.
Senator Reed Of Missouri, one Of
the Democrats who has opposed the
Jones appointment, had just finished
a violent attack on the International
Harvester Company, OF which the nom
inee owns one share and is a director.
The withdrawal shut on further de-
bate.
Wilson in Militant Mood.
The time has come when discrimi-
nations against particular classes OF
men should be absolutely laid aside
and discarded as unworthy Of the
counsels OF q great people, the Presi-
dent said in his letter to Mr. Jones.
Partisan prejudice" and class an
tagonism' were decried, and q mill
tant tone pervaded the entire epistle.
Opposition TO the nominee had been
based on his connection with the haT-
Yester company, which is under indict-
ment as a trust. The senate banking
committee had submitted q majority
report adverse to confirmation, signed
by all the Republican and two Demo
cratic members, Senators Hitchcock
and Reed
Mr.. Jones wrote that this report was
based on a distortion Of facts and
perversion of the truth but expressed
the opinion that as a result of the con
test, even if the nomination were con-
frmed by the senate, his usefulness
as q member Of the reserve board
would be seriously impaired
