FRENCH JURY SETS
NINE. CAILLAUX FREE
Defendant Declared Temporarily In
sane When She Slew Calmette
"UnWritten Law Figured.

Paris, July 30.-'Not guilty" was
the verdict of the jury in the case Of
Nine. Caillaux, whose trial on the
charge Of murder has been one Of the
most sensational and exciting in
French court annals.
Nine. Caillaux killed CASTOR Cal
mette, editor of LIE Figaro, not in cold
blood, according to the jurors, but
while temporarily insane through fear
that he would publish letters which
had passed between herself and Call
laux before they were husband and
wife.
It is probable that the unwrftten law
also plays its part in bringing about
the acquittal of the beautiful wife Of
the former French premier The deli
cate point Of honor was dwelt upon
at length by Maitre Labor in his plea
for the prisoner, who sat weeping soft
ly as he talked. And the plea had its
effect. Before he finished several of
the jurors were in tears.
The verdict was no surprise to the
thronged court room, but its announce
ment by the jurors was greeted with
an uproar which seemed to shake the
very walls of the palais du justice.
"Caillaux! Caillaux! Vive Gail
laux!" screamed the adherents of the
one time strong man of France"
"Murderess--let us spit on her." Cal
mette's supporters cried back.

SEATTLE DOCKS BURNED UP.
More Than 100000 Damage Done
to Water Front.

More Than 100000 Damage Done
to Water Front.
Seattle, Wash, Aug. IA fire,
which menaced many lives, with the
possible death of two, and threatened
the destruction Of Seattle's entire wa
ter front, caused property damage
in excess of one million dollars.
Many people were hemmed in on
wharves and in water front offices
and a dozen were so hard pressed
that they jumped into the bay, from
which they were rescued by the
United States revenue cutter Unalga
and other vessels. 1t is reported two
are missing.
The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway
company's pier, over seven hundred
feet in length, and the Seattle port
commissions ferry wharf were com
pletely destroyed. The Coleman dock.
from which about forty vessels of the
mosquito feet are operated, was so
badly damaged that more than half
of it will have to be rebuilt. Pier
No 2, owned by the Northern Pacific
railway, also was damaged.
The fire originated at the extreme
outer end of the Grand Trunk dock,
catching apparently beneath the struc-
ture, from an unknown origin.

SHIPS CRASH TOGETHER
IN FOG ON ATLANTIC
Red Star Liner Reaches Port With
Hull Cracked From Rail to
Water Line.

New York, July 30.-With a crack
four inches deep extending from rail
to water line in its starboard bow,
the Red Star liner iceland arrived
here bringing a story Of a collision in
dense fog in midocean with the
British freight steamship Missouri Of
the Atlantic Transportation line,
bound from Baltimore for London
and Antwerp. The iceland was on
its way here from Dover and Ant
werp with twenty-eight first class
and nearly 200 second class pas
sengers.
Capt ]. c. C. Mol1er said he slowed
down the iceland on approaching the
fog bank.
I'VE were going ahead slowly when
suddenly the Missouri came out of
the fog perhaps 300 yards away" said
the master. Il ordered the engines
stopped and sent full speed astern.
We had lost our Roadway when the
Missouri, apparently unable to check
its speed altogether, crashed into US.
when l saw that the Missouri
would strike Us, I ordered the pas
sengers away from the rails and
sounded Quarters although later
such precautions were found to be
needless as we we're only slightly in
jured The impact Of the blow Sent
the Missouri astern and later Capt.
Watkins of the freight ship sent word
to me by wireless that he needed no
assistance"
Passengers on the iceland said the
Missouri appeared to bound back
after the collision. The boats stem
was twisted back for several feet
from deck to water line. Several
women became hysterical,
