lover The crowded courtroom struck dumb by this
fash of drama in real life.
Summoning the last remnants of her strength, with
supreme effort she pointed accusing finger at De Cest
and cried with all the mpaSsiOned power that made her
great actress:
my poor Max My poor Max! Killed by that moral
aSsasSinl''
Then she tOered and before any of the court attend
could reach her side fell to the floor dead faint

which Max Lebaudys death cast her e After her
retirement from the stage few years later she married

In the meantime. however Max acruaIly fell danger
OuSy ILL., He escaped death by the narrowest of margins
and sent to q convalescent hospital at Ameeles-

De Cesti followed him there and soon had under way
his most audaeOus coup. 1t plan entirely different
from his original one but he felt it was necessary owing
to the rapid recovery Max apparently making spite
Of all that had been done to insure his death.
AmelielesBains is close to the Spanish frontier If
Max could be induced to Che border would be easy
find way Of having him detained there long enough
to be declared deserter.
According to the French law, deserters property is
forfeited to the Government But De Ces with the aid
Of forged deeds mortgages and powers Of attorney hoped
to be able to divert the bulk of it into his hands,
Before this bold plan could be put into operation Max
suffered relapse and began to sink rapidly When he
realized how the end he sent letter to Me

smile, over the prospect Of speedy success for

Of the Villany Of the she had introduced to Max
Lebaudy.
"Only that Max is surely dying" he said. 81 have
just learned that he has made will in your Gavor and
OF course know that you will be most generous to all of

richest women in France"
Shocked by this unexpected revelation of wickedness

Nile Marsy turned and fled from De Cesti as if he had
been poisonous serpent By the time she reached the
hospital the spark Of poor Max Lebaudys life had almost
reached its last flicker.
In the pale wasted body that lay gasping for breath

heart and haowed his last moments of consciousness BY

suit brought by Jacques Lebaudy for nominal damages
of twenty cents
The trial was notable affair. The accused men had
the best of legal talent and would undoubtedly have all
gone unpunished had been for the mpasSioned
timOny of Mile Marsy. AS it was, De Cesti and of
his confederates found guilty and sentenced to
prison terms and heavy fines.
None of the dramas in which Mile Marsy had ap-

RAILROAD STRIKE
IN WEST IS ENDED
TODAY; VOTE TAKEN
(By Associated Press)

LOS ANGELES. Cal. August 30
Practically all striking steam road en-
gineers, conductors, brakemen and
switchmen reported back to work this
morning, following vote to discon-
tinue their strike here which was COM
pleted last night.
A portion of those attending the
meeting voted not to return to work
and held a further meeting. A. F.
Whitney, international vice president
of the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men, who addressed the meeting, de-
clared, no .yever, the proportion of
union men failing to return, will be
negligible.
The vote of the meeting also op-
Grated to call back to work members
of the big Four railway brother
hoods on strike at San Bernardino and
Bakersfield, who had agreed to follow
whatever action the men took here.
Striking railroad employees at Fres-
no and San Francisco returned to
work yesterday. Admittedly the sit
uation at Barstow was serious, men
there at last reports having refused to
obey the orders of the international
officers to work.
However, the railroad administra-
ton officials counted on moving trains
through that point. Trains delayed as
far west as Albuquerque, N. W., were
moving westward this morning and
the general feeling of railroad men
here was that any men who remained
out will be too few in number to
affect conditions materially.

"1NSURGENT ARMY"
ON PILGRIMAGE
(By Associated Press)

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Aug 30.-Inva-
sion of southern Illinois coal fields
by an insurgent army" to further the
insurgent strike cause has been sane
toned by strike leaders here and pre-
parations were begun today to carry
out the proposed pilgrimage.
Lawrence, Lamb, chairman of the
state policy committee of insurgent
mine workers said the projected
march from Belleville, Franklin, Will
hanson. Saline, and other counties
was only "one method to be used in
acquainting miners of the state with
facts. He declared the fight had re-
solved itself into a campaign to oust
Frank Harrington, president Of the ac-
credited organizations and fellow Off
cials because they had ceased to rep
resent the rank and file.

lars" when advised of the proposed
march of Belleville suh-district miners

DENIES LEAGUE
IS SIMILAR TO
HOLY ALLIANCE
Owen Answers Attack of
Lodge-Charges Partisan
ship Blinds Senator.
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30-Replying
in the senate today to arguments pre-
sented by Chairman Lodge of the For
eign Relations committee against un-
reserved ratification of the peace
treaty, Senator Owen, Democrat, Ok
lahoma, declared Mr.. Lodge had been
blinded by partisanship and by a dis
trust of popular institutions.
Referring to the committee chair
mans parallel between the league of
nations and the ill-famed Holy Alli-
ance, Mr.. Owen said the argument
had overlooked the intrigue and auto
cratic selfshness which surrounded
the alliance. "The fact that wars fol-
lowed the treaty of the Holy Alliance" :"
| he continued, was because this treaty
was between military dynasties, made
by monarchial autocracies, each con-
trolled by intrigue"
The senator from Massachusetts,
believes that the promises of these
| royal scoundrels may be justly COM
pared with the promises and aspira-
tions of the honest, organized democ-
racies Of the whole world
The trouble with the senator from
| Massachusetts is that he really be-
lieves in the rule of the few over the
many. He does not believe the people
| ought to have the right to initiate laws
they want or veto laws they do not
want. He looks upon them with less
confidence than he did upon the mill
tary autocracies, for the senator fav-
ored league in 1915, when the autoc-
racies were in full flower.
"The galleries always applaud when
senator strikes an oratorical pose
and thunders forth his sturdy Ameri-
canism. But the senator's American
| ism did not prevent him from making
an argument at Union College in 1915,
In favor Of a league Of nations. Am
going too far If I appeal from Phillip
, unk to Phillip Sober?'
He is not as he thinks waging a
| war against Woodrow Wilson. He is
| waging war against the desires and
| the hopes of all mankind. Let him be-
ware of throwing himself and his
blinded partisans across the path OF
the righteous judgment of mankind"

ACTION IN STRIKE

Whether or not members of the

Thursday nights rioting in the north
end will be one Of the matters investi-
gated by the Wayne county grand jury
at its special session, which opens
cnext Tuesday. according to Prosecut-
hng Attorney Gath Freeman.
Z Freeman said this morning that he
intended to find out just who was re.
sponsible for the rioting, and If men
who were not members Of the mould
ers' union were the leaders, he intend
ed to find 1t out.
IF the moulders were not respon'
sible for Thursday nights affair, then
it is up to them to tell all they know
concerning who was responsible '
Freeman said.
Il am of the opinion that there
would have been no riot If the mould
ers had not congregated about the
plants during the strike, and IL they
are not responsible for the rioting
then they should do all in their power
{ to assist in bringing the guilty parties

General Pershing Declines to

Committee Investig ating
War Expenditures in France
STATEMENT IS ISSUED
(Ey Associated Press)

PARIS, Aug. 30.-Genera1 Pershing
has refused to testify before the sub
committee Of three Of the congression-
81 committee on expenditures by the
war department, which has been con-
Quoting an investigation in France.
The Generals refusal lead to the
issuance of a joint statement this af-

expressed that there should be a con-
tlct between the military and civil
authority of the government.

of the committee said all activities Of
the American Expeditionary forces

MEAT PRICE HERE
DROPS FOLLOWING
MARKET DECLINE

The recent drop in prices in the
markets for meats on the hoof has
had an immediate effect on the retail
meat markets of Richmond.
Local butchers say that today's
prices for beef are about two cents
pound cheaper than the Prevailing
price last week
A further decrease of about three
cents is expected by the middle Of
the coming week, and pork will sell
for about five cents a pound cheaper
in about the same time.
The chief cause of this reduction
in prices is attributed to the activity
of the government in investigating
the high prices of meat, and to the
timidity of the buyers in the Chicago
stock markets, who fearing the presi-
dents attack on high prices are not
buying, thus causing the price to de-
cline.
