FRENCH DEBATE Is
-, FULL OF EXCITEMENT

Hirzon. France April 13.-Jean RICHIE
pin. a member of the French Academy
and a candidate for ne Chamber of Dep
uties against the Radical Socialist Pascal
Ceecaldi recently challenged the latter
to public debate which was set for to-
night The supporters of Ceccaidi arriv-
ed first at the hall and took possession
of it. Nj. Riehepine was unable to en-
ter and took position on the staircase
outside where he was Joined by his op-
ponent.
The rival partisans created such an
uproar that neither of the candidates
could be heard. The Richepin supporters
clamored against NJ. Ceccaldi on account
of his friendship for NJ. Caillaux. Sud-
denly a section of the staircase collapsed
and 80 persons were precipitated on top
of the manifestants, who by this time
were fighting furiously among them
selves.
A handkerchief stained with blood from
the wounded head of Richepin support
er was handed up to the poet, who -four
ished it in his opponents face. Then,
abandoning the idea of making a speech,
Mr.. Richepin withdrew.

Capt Amundsen Is
Seeking $500, 900

Washington, April 13.-Private re-
ports from Christiana received tonight
stated that Captain Roald Amundsen,
the Norwegian explorer, must have
$4,000 before he can equip his pro-
posed polar expedition. Explorers and
scientists expressed the belief that it
would be virtually impossible to raise
the required sum.
The reports say that Amundsen's
ship the Fran, after completing re-
pairs at Montevideo, Uruguay, will
sail for Norway, the plan being for
her to leave there and pass through
the Panama canal to the Pacific coast
early in 1915 if 100000 can be raised
before that time. According to an
nounced plans, the expedition is to
leave the Pacific coast next year to
explore the Polar basin the vast tract
between northern Canada, Alaska and
Asia, including the North Pole is to
be traversed, and it is expected that
the voyage will require at least four
years.

Eats 90 Grains of
Mercury; Walking

Harrison, N. j., April 13.-William Da-
vies, an Englishman, % years old, is dy-
ing in a hospital in North Arlington aft
er taking go grains of bichloride of mer-
curry. He came from Canada on Christ
mas eve with Charles Stopherd and took
lodgings in Kearny.
He was unable to get employment and
worried over the board bill. which he was
unable to pay. Although he is believed
to have wealthy relatives near Bolton,
England, he would not write to them.
He went out to take a walk on Satur-
day. Two hours later he was found In
North Arlington almost unconscious. He
said that he had wished to die and had
taken eight or 10 bichloride of mercury
tablets-more than 60 grains in all-in the
course of his walk. The first tablet had
no effect, and he kept on munching them
as he walked. He said that the pain and
thought of his family had changed his
views and now he wished to live.
For time he rallied under the care of
DIR. A. A. Mutter, but Sunday night he
lapsed into coma from which there is
slight hope of arousing him.

Pres Huerta Appeals
For Trousers for Men

Mexico ity. April 1C3-One hundred
and sixty members of the Jockey Club,
Mexico's most aristocratic organiza-
ton. stood before President Huerta
today and listened to his earnest and
convincing appeal for their support in
the great uplift movement he is about
to inaugurate in behalf of the poor.
You men are millionaires-most of
YOU" began the President. The men,
bers of the Jockey Club began to show
signs of nervousness which was al
layed, however, when they learned
that he did not want money for war,
but for pants-pants of the ordinary
cotton variety worn by the Indian la
boring man.
when the world thinks of Mexicans,
said President Huerta, it does not think
of men dressed like you and me, but of
those poor, ragged, dirty, cotton-trous-
cred men, Now l want you TO help me.
Please keep your eyes open for each
of these poor men needing trousers, and
comehow contrive to provide with with
pair"
1t was explained that President Huerta
now regards the condition of the country
as SO improved that he can afford to de-

Want Sulzer for
Governor OF N. Y.

Albany, n. Y. April ia movement
to bring about the nomination of Will
liam Sulzer as an independent can
didate for Governor this fall, took
definite form today in the incorpora
ton of "The, American party" by
friends of the deposed executive.
There will be complete state
ticket headed by Governor Suizer,"
said Col. Alexander S. Bacon, one of
the incorporators, tonight, in explain
ing the purposes Of the new party.
"Anti-Tammony Democratic assem-
blymen, senators and congressman
will be selected, together with a COM
plete anti-Tammany state committee
and anti-Tammany county commit
tees.
Mr.. Bacon added that the former
executive probably would be candi-
date in the regular Democratic pri-
maries, but that many of his friends
favored the plan to nominate him in
dependently.
There Is nothing to prevent an IN
dependent candidate from being can
didate in the regular party primaries
also, Mr.. Bacon explained

Daniels Is
Dinner Orator

Harrisburg, Pa, April 13.-Josephus
Daniels, secretary of the navy, who was
the orator at the jefferson day dinner
of the Central Democratic Club, tonight
declared that the measures enacted by
the Wilson administration had benefited
the country and that rural credit and
trust regulation laws were bound to
come. He added that the present strug
gle is against special privilege and that
the enactment of the law for direct cleo
ton of nited States senators was a VIC
tory for Democracy which squared with
Jeffersons teachings The income tax
and the currency law were pointed to as
Democratic victories and the new tariff
law he asserted was not causing disaster.
1.-The universal testimony to the new
legislation enacted by this adninistra-
tion," said Mr.. Daniels, sis that 1T has
already proved a blessing and the fears
of those who opposed it were found to be
utterly groundless. The Democratic pro-
gram for the present session of Congress
will add to the constructive acts ac-
complished, a rural credit banking sys-
tenn that will meet the needs of our ag-
ricultural development, and antitrust
measures to throttle monopoly and open
the free avenues of trade. What has
been the secret of the widespread pop
ularity of the Democratic program? 1t
is easy to find. The secret is that the
leaders in Congress and the President
of the United States have been imbued
with and dominated by the spirit of JEFF
ferson. Their inspiration has come from
the aims and aspirations of people and
their ambition has been to be true repre-
sentatives of the will of the people,
The secretary closed his remarks with
the predictions that the free tolls bill
was "sure to pass and that the party
will have a record by November that
will be worthy not only of the nation,
but of all the world"

Wind Blows Baby
Off Roof to Death

New York, April 13.-Left in her
carriage for sun and air on the roof
at 466 West 165th street, 1S-months-
old Gertrude Gibson fell to her death
yesterday afternoon. The wind drove
the carriage over the edge of the
building. The baby was still alive
when a doctor arrived, but died before
artificial respiration could be applied.
Mrs. Gibson, whose husband. Thorn
as, is a taxicab starter at the Hotel
Navarro. put the carriage on the roof
as usual yesterday and left John. five
years old, on guard, after tying the
carriage to a post. Two other children
remained in the fiat, which is the top
floor of the two-story frame building
at 466, which is the middle one of three
similar houses.
John noticed after time that his baby
sisters bottle was empty so he took il
down to his mother to be refilled. Dur
ing his absence the wind, which had
been blowing briskly all day. blew the
carriage back and forth until the rope
was loosened Finally the carriage
swung free and rolled across the roof of
46i and dropped to an extension in the
rear of 4e2.
The janitor, Michael Budibaz. who
saw what had happened, ran across to
the Washington Heights hospital and
called DR. Bacharach. the doctor
found that the baby, though still alive,
had received a fractured skull and
could not live.

Mayo Spends $4,000
To Ward off Death

Lexington, Ky, April 13.-Fighting
a battle against Bright's disease which
is costing him $500 a day, John c. c.
Mayo, wealthiest man IN Kentucky
and Democratic nationai committee
man from Kentucky, is trying transfu-
sion of blood rs last resort. He has
been taken from his home in Paints
vile, KY, to the Jewish hospital in
Cincinnati, where he has leased an
entire floor, and specialists from New
York as we'll az Cincinnati are in con-
slant attendance. Yesterday and to-
day his brother Washington Mayo,
weighing $50 pounds, gave pint of this
blood each time, and Mayo Sunday
night was feeling much better. 1t is
believed, however that his death is
only matter OF short time.
Mr.. Mayo has, it is estimated, spent
$4,000 so far in his efforts to secure
at least a postponement of his DEATH
He is remarkable character. Twenty
years ago he was a penniless school
teacher in the mountains of Kentucky
He saw possibilities of great wealth in
the coal and timber regions there, and
began leasing on a small scale and
finally buying in a small way. He
gained the confidence of wealthy East
