Paris March 20.-Three widely vary
ing points of interest occupy the at
tention Of the public today in connec-
tton with the assassination Of CASTOR
Calmette.
The funeral Of the victim Of Madame
Calliaux's revolver and its accompany
ing demonstration was the chief at
traction, owing to the possibility Of
disorders and the extraordinary
measures against disturbances in the
streets Of Paris. The police precau-
tions failed to prevent collision be-
royalist was shot.
The last and most promising phase
in respect to the likelihood of sensa-
tional developments was the examina-
ton OF NJ. Calliaux and Ernest Monis,
former premier as. to their connection
with the hushing up Of the SCANDAL
about Henri Rochette who is alleged to
have defrauded the French public very
extensively. This phase was regarded
as likely to occupy the public mind for
some time.
