Throughout Paris "straW votes
arc being taken as to the possible
verdict of the jury which will hear
Nine. Caillaux's case. At recent
assembly of men a newspaper CORE
spondent polled three votes for ac-
ouittal for each one of guilty. Those
opposing acquittal agreed, however,
that if Nine. Caillaux was not ac-
Quilted the State would nevertheless
fail to convict her of premeditated
murder.
1t was the opinion that if a verdict
of guilty was returned it would be
for one of the lighter homicldess
which would permit "the first Of

she would be allowed to 60 free

GOT ASHORE
With Party, But They Lost
All the Equipment
Of Expedition
FRIENDS AND FAMILY
AWAIT MORE NEWS
Disaster to Brazilian Ex-
ploring Party Briefly
Announced

New York, March 23.--Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt's family and friends are
anxiously awaiting further advices to-
day regarding the accident by which his
party lost its entire equipment in the
rapids of Brazilian river. While no
concern is felt for the safety OF the for
mer president, it was desired to learn
Just how and when the accident occurred
and whether or not the expedition would
be abandoned, especially as the party
was so far from its base where new
equipment could be secured.
The news of the mishap came in a
brief message from Anthony Fiaia, a
member of the party, dated at Santar-
EN-, Brazil, yesterday, and it read: 1--WE
have lost everything in rapids. Tele-
phone my wife of my safety
The accident is believed by Theodore
Roosevelt, jr., to have occurred on an lln-
known river, which he said his father
in a letter called the Rio Duivata or
River Of Doubt.

WENT TO CHURCH ON sTRETcHER.
But Sylvia Pankhurst Was Not Allowed
to Attend

London. March 23 Sylvia Pankhurst,
carried on a stretcher and surrounded by
about one thousand members of her East
End peoples army, attempted to attend
last evenings service in Westminster
Abbey. She was unable to gain admis-
sion, however, as every seat in the edi-
flee had been taken, in view of the fact
that she had announced her intention
a week ago Sunday to be present in the
Abbey last night. The militant suffra-
get and her followers, however, held an
open air meeting in the street in the rear
of the Abbey.
The vanguard of the East End con-
tiugent was led by a Church of England
clergyman, the Rev Edmund Willis, rec
tor of church in the Shadwell district
Clothed in full vestments, he opened the
street meeting with prayer, and, after
the singing of Coward, Christian Sol
diers" by the members of the army"
preached short sermon.
Miss Pankhurst then delivered an ad-
dress. in which she exhorted her follow
ers to make England "real Christian
country, so that Westminster Abbey
would become place for the poor as
well as for the rich" After the meeting
she was removed from the scene in an
ambulance attended by nurse.
The Rev. Mr.. Willis had almost per-
feet control over the "army" during the
meeting. The demonstration was re-
markable for the small number of police
present and for the religious atmosphere
surrounding it. Only occasionally were
the speakers interrupted by cheering and
calls for social revolution

PUTTING SCARED HORSES.
Animals Didn't Stop to Eat Dinner but
Away They Ran.

The putting OF big locomotive in the
NJ. g. w. freight yards this afternoon
frightened pair OF draft horses belong
ing to William Reed of Green street and
precipitated runaway that caused more
excitement among the clerks and freight
movers in that section than anything
that has happened there since big rum
away freight engine came tearing into
the yard from the hill many years ago.
For once the clerks evinced mild inter
est in something besides their figures,
and the freight beavers stopped long
enough to see the horses pile into
telephone pole half way between the
freight house and Romans square.
Both animals were complacently feed
ing out of their grain-bags when the big
scare came. They didn't finish their din
ner, but started travelling away from
the engine.s Soon the telephone pole
stopped part of the runaway, and the
collision smashed the wagon and threw
one horse to the ground The other
swung around the corner of Prospect
street and continued as far south as the
Slayton stable. The nigh horse as the
teamsters designate him, was badly cut
on a fore leg. The "off" horse cast
shoe and was led away to Alex. J. Stew
arts blacksmith shop. The slmsof $40
will not cover the damage to the wagon,
it is said.

When Mexican Rebels Cap
tured a Town in March
on Torreon
ONLY SHORT DISTANCE
LEFT TO BE COVERED
But Up to Present 1t Has
Been More Like
Play War

Bermeiillo, Durango, Mexico, March
%. Marked by sharp brushes with the
enemy, General Francisco Villas spec
tacular march against Torreon, which
began last Friday, is nearing an end to-
day. Only few haciendas and suburb
an towns remained between his army OF
10000 and the actual siege of Torreon.
There are reports that more or less
formidable garrison of federals had been
placed by General Velasco in Lerdo,
some distance north of Torreon, to check
the constitutionalists but, notwithstand-
ing this, Villa is confident that within a
few hours his army will be investing
Torreon proper. The skirmishes' thus
far look more like play than war. The
federals lost over 100 killed when the
rebels took this town.
Officers from the extreme front re-
turned to the rebel headquarters to-day
after viewing the federal Notifications
through field glasses and reported the
defenses elaborate and laid out accord
ing to the latest improved methods so.
that the troops might move from trench
to trench without exposing themselves.
Some Of the barbed wire entanglements
were visible.
