and good wishes of his own and every
civilized country.
Anxious to Get to Work ...
NJ Clemenceau appealed yesterday
for an immediate X-ray examination
of his wound, but his physicians
ordered rest. He told the physicians
when the examination was made to- day
that he wanted it finished as soon as
possible so that he could get back
to work in few days.
Expressions of sympathy reached the
Premier from all quarters yesterday.
The Chamber and Senate discussed
the shooting and were mortified and
indignant that such an occurrence
could take place. King George, the
British House of Commons and va
rious heads of nations sent message
of sympathy, while NJ. Clemenceau's
home was crowded with distinguished
visitors.
Yesterday evening the Premier asked
Major General Mordacq, his military
aid, to decorate Chauffeur Decaudln.
The ceremony took place in the Pre-
mier's bedroom, according to NJ. Glenn
enceau's request. Decaudin was driv-
ing the car when the Premier was fired
upon. Congeas. another chauffeur at

The detectives and bodyguards-
Vadette, Daumail, Berger and Gallet-
who have been i'll continual attendance
Mt the home of Premier Clemenceau
since he became head of the Cabinet,
were very much chagrined to-day be-
cause of criticism aimed at them in
dicating they might have been neglect
fill in their duty. The Premier heard
of the reports and sent for the detec
tives and bodyguards and told them
he was perfectly content with the man
ner in which they had performed their
duties. Daumail, relating the incident,
said:
''The Premier is a very difficult man
to keep track of. He always looked
upon us as a necessary nuisance, but
God knows we did our best. 1t feels
good however, to hear him tell US SO
himself
More Police Raids

last night at Police Headquarters,
where II. Tanguy, Under Commissioner
of Police. went over with him docu-
ments, literature and correspondence
which were seized IN Cottln's room
yesterday.
As a result the police made several
raids this morning, particularly at the
"Iibertyn Society. According to the
police, the society has anarchical ten
dencies. Its headquarters at 63 Boule-
ward Bellevile were searched thor
oughly and a bulky basket of literature
seized.
The Communist Federation Of the
Seine at 81 Boulevard Beleville also
was searched. Papers there were seized,
but no arrests were made. The police
visited the homes of two of the cor
respondents of Coffin. One of them is
Rosky, Russian citizen, and he and
the other man had been known to the
police as militant anarchists. The Belle
VILE section long has been under police
surveillance as a meeting place of an
archists.
homes of Coffin and the Russian
Rosky, searches also were made of the
apartments of d man known as Rubin
cein, alias Mateski, and another man
named Conuent. Likewise a search
was made of residence at Nanves,
Brittany.
These searches are said to have dis
closed the fact that Coffin had con-
tinuous relations with members of the
Gommur list Federation.
Others May Be Involved
When asked if he had abandoned his
theory of yesterday that Coffin shot
the Premier without help and without
Il command from another person or per-
sons, Under Commissioner Tanguy
said:
"There may be other arrests, but ]
am not al liberty to say so now nor to
say whether, if arrests are made, the
prisoners will be concerned with the
actual shooting. My opinion is that
Cottin's brain has been overheated from
continuous reading of anarchistic lit
erature. Otherwise there was no actua
pressure upon him"
