At THE TRIAL OF
NINE. CAILLAUX
French Government Issues
Statement in Regard to
the Document Referred to
at the Trial.

Paris, July 22.-Politics predominant
ed today in connection with the trial
Of Nine. Caillaux for the murder Of
Editor Calmette. The French govern
ment authorized the statement at the
trial today that "the documents re-
ferred to in yesterdays testimony are
only printed copies of documents which
do not exist"
The discussion over the paper intro
duced in the trial grew so that the
judge threatened to clear the chambers.
When quiet was restored the clerks
who sold the pistol to Nine. Caillaux
explained the woman's actions at the
time OF the purchase. One clerk told
OF how she tried out the pistol in a
gallery and hit the target. Yves Delbos,
editor-in- chief of the Le Radical.
stated that he had met Nine. Caillaux
on the day of the shooting. He said
She seemed depressed and aged and
was like a beaten, hunted thing"
Joseph Caillaux held the court for
two intense hours yesterday testifying
in defense of his wife, who sat in the
prisoners enclosure. charged with the
killing Of CASTOR Calmette, editor of
pearance of M. Caillaux was hardly
less dramatic than that of Nine. Call
laux yesterday.
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.
II accuse myself" he cried in the
climax. II committed a fault. 1 should
myself have acted. but absorbed by
public affairs, I failed to realize the
ravages Calmette's calumnies had
made on the soul of my wife"
NJ. Caillaux spoke as II in the cham
Der. his voice of high tenor, softened
in quality. sometimes rising to falsetto
in moments OF excitement. He ges-
ticuiated freely. pointing a singularly
long forennger as he addressed the
judges or the Jury and occasionally 1t
moved in the direction of his wife.
The Trials Political Phase.
The trial has entered upon its politi-
cal phase, and those who sat In the
court room had occasion to bring to
mind that Caillaux is the strong man
of the Radical groups now ruling
France.
He would. he said. tell the jury the
history OF his private life from his first
marriage down to the sad events which
brought about his presence on the
stand. He explained the incident of
the two letters which he supposed had
been destroyed before his divorce from
his first wife. He only knew of their
existence when a friend warned him

GRAND JURY WILL
INVESTIGATE THE
NEW HAVEN CASE
Indictments Against Mellen
and Other Former Off
cials Probable-Civil Ac-
tion to Be Brought.

Washington, July 22.-The long con-
ven railroad without litigation came to
an end last night when President Will
son in q letter to Attorney General Nc
Reynolds directed the institution of a
Sherman law suit to dissolve the sys-
tenn and ordered that the criminal as
poets OF the case be laid before fed
eral grand jury.
The presidents approval OF the
course mapped out by the department
of Justice means that the civil suit will
be filed against the New Haven in the
United States court at New York at
once. The attorney general also will
Immediately direct United States Dis
trtct Attorney Marshall at New York
to summon a grand jury and the task
Of laying evidence before that body on
which to ask for criminal indictments
against officers and directors of the
New Haven under the Mellen manage
ment win be begun as soon as possible.
T. w. Gregory, the special assistant
in charge OF the New Haven case, will
have full charge of the civil suit and
before the grand jury will be F. M.
Swacker, an expert from the interstate
commerce commission who has helped
him in the preparation of the evidence.
How many indictments will be sought
was not divulged tonight, but 1t was
plainly indicated in correspondence that
the attorney general expects to ask for
a bill against Charles S. Mellen, former
president Of the New Haven.
Question of Immunity.
The most significant fact IA connec-
tion with the proceedings was said to
be statement which Mr.. McReynolds
gave out several months ago when the
interstate commerce commission began
its New Haven inquiry. In that state
ment the attorney general warned the
commission to consider whether i'm
munity might be given certain men If
made to testify as to their actions as
directors OF the road. The names he
mentioned were Charles S. Mellen. Will
liam Rockefeller, George MacUltoch
Miller. Charles r. Brooker. Edwin Mil
ner, Lewiss Cass Ledyard, George F.
Baker and Edward d. Robbins.
In addition to directing the suit. the
president in his letter to Mr. Mercy
nolds declared that the decision of the
New Haven directors not TO keep their
agreement to dissolve peacefully had
caused him "the greatest surprise and
regret" and that their failure upon so
slight a pretext" was "inexplicable and
entirely without justification" The de-
partment's course, he said, was Just,
reasonable and efficient and should
have resulted in avoiding suit.

ated from Cornell in 1881 and from the
Albany Medical College in 1888 He en-
tered the bureau of animal industry,
where his work on Texas fever in cattle
was not only of importance to stock
raisers but first established that an in
fectious disease could be transmitted by
an insect. Since then this discovery has
been applied to yellow fever. malaria,
and typhoid fever and other Diseases

physicians today: that Is that person

the disease and be a source of fresh in

with DR.. Salmon that animals could be
immunized not only with attenuated
strains Of living germs, which had been
demonstrated by DR.. Pasteur, but by
sterilized cultures of germs in which ev-

Vaccine therapy is an application of that
principle.

Court Of Claims Rever.es Its De.
ciaion In the "Divisor Cases.

The Court of Claims yesterday handel
down q decision reversing its previous
decision in what are now known as the
''divisor cases" Seven hundred anc
twenty railroads are involved In thest
suits, and under the original judgment
the United States would have been sub.
ject to claim for over 81. .00o. .00o
The suits arose out of the weighing oi
the mails carried for the government By
the railroads. Until 1907 the government
had beer accustomed to having the mails
weighed for a period of los days. and this
total divided by ninety in order to get
a general average OF weight of mails for
the year. Subsequent to 1907 the govern
ment weighed the mails for los days and
divided by los. Th1 railroads claimed
that this reduced the average by one
sventh. and that from 1907 on the gov
ernment should have paid one-seventh
more than II did.
This case was inherited from the pre-
vious administration with a Judgment
against the United States.
