Paris. March 15.-Several persons
have been ordered to trial as result
of an investigation of Examining Mag
istrate Coutant into the celebrated car
bide syndicate case. The case caused

lack of evidence. After an examina-
ton of the papers, Minister Viviani re-
piled that he totally disagreed with
this view and ordered the investigation
to be proceeded with vigorously.
