The evening Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1918-1920, 1919-02-19

The shooting took place this morn
ing as the Premier was leaving his
house in Rue Franklin to go to the
war Office in his private car. His as
sailant, who was arrested, was an or
dinary looking man, dressed as
workman, who fired five shots in
quick succession. His extreme ner-
vousness and the attempt to have the
job done quickly and make his get
away, was responsible for three of
the shots going wild. The Premier
was hit in the back and shoulder,
however, sank to the walk, and was
then removed to his house while the
would-be assassin was seized by the
crowd on the walk.
The attack evidently came without
warning of any kind. First reports do
not state whether the near-murderer
is German, Bolsheviki or merely one
Of the Premier's many political en-
emies who committed the assault out
of personal revenge. All through the
course of the war, the Premier has
been getting threatening letters of
all kinds, but he has grown used to
threats to his person and usually at
tached no Importance to them. It
was because of this personal. bravery
and his bitter fighting qualities coup
led with utter fearlessness, that long
ago won him the title of "The Tiger"
What effect this will have on the
Peace Conference and the League of
Nations, remains to be seen. Certain
it is that the aged Premier will not be
able to attend the conference in the
next few days, or perhaps weeks.
With President Wilson in this coiir-
try, the leadership of the peace con-
ference devolves on Premier Lloyd
George of England and the Italian
and Japanese representatives. A bull
letin about Clemenceau's condition
will probably be issued during the
day. Also the identity of the assail-
ant will undoubtedly be secured and
sent out in later report.
PARIS, Feb. 80 A later report
from this city regarding the shooting
of Clemenceau gives out the inforlna-
tion that he was attacked by young
man 25 years old by the name of
Emile Coffin. He said9his home was
in Paris. The police, however, be-
lieve him to be Russian. A barber
grappled with the assassin after the
shooting and the police had some diff
ficulty in getting the man away from
the crowd by which he was badly
beaten up.
1t was officially announced at noon
today that the statesman's condition
is not critical and that for the pres
ent there is no need for worry.
All the windows of the Premier's
llmousiene were shattered by the bull
lets and several pedestrians NARROWLY
escaped being hit.
Clemenceau was on his way tn
conference with Colonel House and
Arthur j. Balfour when he was felled.
News of the shooting reached Col.
House as he was leaving for the con-
ference with Balfour. The two men
Immediately considered the steps to
be taken regarding the situation as
Clemenceau had in hand subjects of
vast Importance relating to the con-
summation of an early peace. There
may be suspension of the peace
making machinery until the Premier-
is in a position to act with his COZ
leagues or his condition becomes de-
ternnined.

Montgomery. Ala. Sept. s.--The SEN

OF the taxing machinery voted down by
the house, insuring appeals from the

TO appellate court, and also eliminating
from the bill all exemptions for water

nlide plants. Nineteen senators are
pledged by letter to Speaker Merritt to
accept the amendments, which the gov
ernor says he will advocate If the house

CHAPTER X.

The next day Patterson telephoned
her that he had called rehearsal
with the company. Daphne went to
the theater in terror. The stage
looked utterly forlorn with the actors
and actresses standing about in their
street clothes. Under the bright lights
with the people made up and the au-
dience in full bloom, like a vast gar
den, there would be impersonality and
stimulation; but the present scene was
as doleful as the funeral Of an unpop-
ular man.
Courage was largely matter Of her
superself forcing her reluctant feet
forward. A soldier ordered to leave
a bombproof shelter for an advance,
playground of shrapnel, has just the
struggle with his vaso-motor system
that Daphne had with hers.
With the kindliest smile an amiable
wolf ever wore Patterson invited the
fluttering lamb to come to the stream
and drink. Daphne came forward in
trance and heard Patterson say:
Ladies and gentlemen-Miss Kip,
our new understudy. Give her all the
help you can"
Miss Kemble had graciously chosen
to be present for that purpose, though
the result was only to increase Daph
mes embarrassment. An imitation in
the presence of the living model was
double load to carry.

WAR ON STRAWBERRY WEEVIL.
Insect Can Be Fought Off by busting
Plants as Buds Appear-Devices

The New Jersey experiment station
says the strawberry weevil can be
fought off by busting the plants as the
buds appear. The dust is composed of
one part dry arsenate of lead and five
parts powdered sulphur. This does
not kill all the weevils, but drives them
away. AS for a device for applying
the dust. the "News Letter" says:

reecue his child. She always called on
him In an emergency and he always
responded.
Leila came home eventually full of
gossip and triumph. Her Dutilh gown
had made tremendous success; the
other women wanted to murder her.
Mrs. Kip broke in on her chronicles
with the dismal announcement of
Daphne'S new insanity. Leila was al
most as bitter in opposition as Mrs.
Kip had been, but from quite another
motive. Leila had aristocratic i'm
pulses and looked forward to social
splendors. She would gain no help
from the fact that her husbands sister
was a theatrical struggler.
Daphne escaped an odious battle
with her by referring to the need Of
close study, and retreated into her
own room, locking her mother out.
She stayed there, repeating her lines
over and over and trying to remember
the action that went with them as
Miss Kemble had played 1t. She had
quick memory, but the information Of
the lines gave her extraordinary diff

She remembered one of Miss KEN
