day. Nervously twisting her handker.
chief or wringing her hands. the frail
defendant sat forgotten while q storm
Of politics broke and ragged about her
husband. Joseph Caillaux, former pre-.
mier
The first sensation of the day came
when. Madame -Guaydan, first wife of
Mr.. Caillaux, who was the star wit
ness yesterday. failed to appear.
Then came the political clash which
was nercer than any other which has
marked the tempestuous course of the
trial. Madame Guaydan, who had held
the stage yesterday. was called to the
stand as the first witness, but she
failed to answer to her name Attaches
Of the court searched the corridor but
could not find the missing witness.
Officials Of the court were insistent
that she be found, but the searchers
could get no trace of her.
Fear Kidnapping.
Meanwhile sensational rumors were
fitting about the court room. Had
she been Kidnapped to prevent the
production Of further private letters,
exposing the private morals and DO
litical treacheries of Caillaux?" asked
some.
Judge Louis Alvanel sent two Re-
publican guards to Madame Guaydan's
home to fetch her and in the mean
time Louis Barthou, former premier Of
France, took the stand to continue the
story he started yesterday Barthou
had made some remarks derogatory to
the political honor of Caillaux when
Pascal Cecaldi, a member of the cham
ber of deputies, and friend of Caillaux.
leaped to his feet.
The spectators. catching the excite
ment of lively encounter, took sides
and cheered according to their senti-
ments.
Loses His Temper.
Mr.. Barthou, losing control of his
temper, waved his arms and shrieked,
heaping vituperations upon the head
of the former finance minister. The
spectators were dumbfounded at first,
scarcely crediting their eyes, so
strange was the spectacle OF one Of
Frances foremost statesmen in a
childish tantrum before q crowded
court room. Jumping to his toes. now
waving his arms, his face red from the
exertion Of his shouts. and his words
stained with the BillineEcate OF tAe

| Barthou left the witness box, but
Immediately the uproad began again.
Mr.. Cecaldi first dropped some furth-
er remarks which enraged Barthou.
You lie," shrieked the former pre-.
mier
Cecaldi declared that Calmette had
] gotten rich with SuSpiciOs.z sudden
ness. In 1900 he declared Calmette
had nothing. In 1917 he had for
tune Of $2,600,OO0.

vicinity this summer:
Two killed.
Nineteen injured.

Another automobile accident, injur-
ing one woman, Mrs. Henry Scherb,
532 South Sixth street, was added to
this summers long list, when tour
ing car driven by Frank Kehlenbrink,
735 South Eighth street, collided with
street car at South Eighth and z
streets about 10 o'clock last night.
That at least three people were not
killed, and that only one of them was
injured, is regarded as remarkable by
those who witnessed the accident.
Mrs. Scherb was bruised about her
right hip, a cash was cut in her right
elbow and a thumb sprained. She
was hurled several feet but was not
rendered unconscious. Her handbag
was found on a fender of the automo-
bile after the accident.
AIiqhts From Car.
Mrs. Scherb had just alighted from
the car and was half way to the west
curbing when the touring car, owned
by Adolph Blickwedel, father-in-law OF
Mr.. Kehlenbrink, shot around the
southwest corner of South Eighth and
E streets and turned south. Mr.. Kehl-
enbrink was taking lessons in driving
the machine from chauffeur. Seeing
that he was in danger of running
down twps, women and a man, Mrs.
Scherb and Mr.. and Mrs. Ray Bussen,
who also had their young baby. kehl-
enbrinIrhshut off his engine and started
to thru But3his clutch.
FIn fO1t slipped, however, and he
became confused. Just then the chauf-
feur aeized the wheel and guided the
machfne sduarely into the side of the
street car The machine narrowly
missed striking Bussen and the baby
he was carrying. The right fender
struck Mrs. Scherb, and in falling her
arm was Caught in the spokes Of a
front wheel. She was then hurled into
the gutter.
The automobile struck the street
car with such force that the machine
rebounded and struck the street
car a second time. There we're num-
Der of passengers in the car, and all
were badly frightened although none
was thrown from their seats. The
street car had quite a dent put in its
side from the force of the collision.
The front part of the automobile was
considerably damaged but the chauf-
feurS was able to drive it away under
its own power.
Mrs. Scherb was carried into a drug
store and her injuries were treated.
She was able to leave the city on a
midnight train to visit her daughter
ip Chicago.
In the machine, beside the chauf-
feur, were Mrs. Kehlenbrink and chill
dren and Mrs. Blickwedel. Their
screams alarmed the occupants of the
street car before the accident occurred.

ROOF FINE RESORT
''Y" Men Praise Sleeping
Quarters.

whats the use of blowin' all your
money and going to one of these ex-
pensive summer resorts" cheerily
called one of the "Y roofites" as he
rolled his bedclothes under his arms
and fled from the roof early this morn
ing as the sun was crawling over the
Gennett theatre.
Men spending their nights on the Y.
M. c. A. roof claim the best sleeping
quarters in the city and assert that
five hours of sleep high above the
streets where the cool air sweeps
across the flat top is more refreshing
than eight or ten hours inside any
room anywhere.
They are not the only ones who
are sleeping outdoors these hot even
ings. Tents in back lawns, ham,
mocks and cots on second floor are
used to bring relief.

SERv|A TO COMPLY
WITH ULT|MATUM
Military Party Cries for War,
But Cooler Heads Prevent
National Suicide

BELGRADE, Servia, July 24.-Rath-
er than risk national suicide in a war
with Austria, Servia will comply with
the demands of the ultimatum received
by the foreign office from Vienna.
This was the opinion expressed here
today by men conversant with the
deliberations which are now going on
in official circles.
The Austrian ultimatum, to which
a reply must be returned before Z
O'Clock tomorrow evening, contains the
following demands:
l. Servia must make a vigorous in
vestigation of the part played by Slavs
in this city in the assassination OF
Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir to
the Austrian throne, and his wife.
Forced to Apologize.
2. The Servian government must
publish official disavowal Of it's con-
nection with the anti-Austrian propa-
ganda.
3. Servia must suppress all the Pan
Slavic societies which are carrying on
political campaign against Austria.
4. Servia must suppress the activi-
ties of Slavic agents in Bosnia and
Herzegovina, who are working for the
detachment of territory from Austria
Radicals and members of the mill
tary party are crying for war, but the
cooler heads, realizing the tremendous
| advantage of Austria, are urging a
settlement through diplomacy. Not
only has Austria the advantage in
arms, but her program has the sup.
port of Italy and Geramny, the two
other members of the triple alliance
On the other hand, Servia would stand
practically alone with the possible ex
| ception of Montenegro the tiniest
kingdom in Europe, which might lend
! her aid.

was employed by Duke and with other
members of the construction gang had
been living in a tent colony near the

had no chance to offer resistance to
his captors, Chief Goodwin and Police
