tary Elections Yesterday

LONDON, March 1O.-Parliamcntary
elections held to-day in the Union of
South Africa will, it is believed, de-
eide the fate Of the government held
by Jan Christian SHUTS, which is con-
tending against strong Dutch National
ist elements, aided by the Labor party.
The result may decide whether Cape
Colony, the Transvaal, Orange Free
State and Natal are to continue British
or are to form q South African Dutch
republic, under it's own flag and with
an elected President.
Anti-imperial forces recently have
been strengthened by being Joined by
many who were influenced by charges
that Yorkshire spinners have been
profiteering at the expense Of South
African wool growers. The high cost
issue, and the racial longing Of the
Beers to be rid of British domination
has been brought to the front by poll
ticians.
South Africa is valuable to Great
Britain because of its gold fields, and
separation, it is believed, would meet
with strong opposition from the Brit
ish government. Nationalist sentiment
there is said to be so intense that in
some instances families have been di-
vided over this issue, which is sur
vival of the old struggle which has
been going on between the Dutch and
the British since the Netherlands
ceded Cape Colony to Great Britain in
1914.
Present conditions are viewed with
concern because spf the attitude of the
Labor party, this being the first time
the anti British Beers haye been ioincd
by any part Of the British population.

Caillaux Weakens
u. n de r Charges
Of Pacifist Intrigue
Witness Testifies Former
Premier Chose Compan-
ions in Italy Advisedly;
Urged Peace Talk in 1916

PARIS, March 10.-Only two wit
nesses were heard today at the trial Of
former Premier Joseph Caillaux before
the Senate as High Court on the
charge Of intriguing to promote dis
honorable and premature peace with
Germany They were Charles Roux,
Counselor of the French Embassy at
Rome, and Commandant Noblemaire,
former Military Attache at the same
embassy.
Their testimony as to the activities
of the accused in italy in 1915 was Of
such a character that the Premier ap-
peared considerably perturbed at sew
oral points, and toward the end Of the
day he gave signs Of weakening from
the strain of the proceedings. He re-
covered his poise ultimately, however
and finished the day in apparently good
spirits.
M. Roux swores that Caillaux's rela-
tions in italy were confined to pacifists
sively with men at present under in
dictment on the charge Of having had
intelligence with the enemy. The wit
ness added that Caillaux was not q
victim Of imprudence, but had chosen
his suspected companions advisedly
which was the reason why the embassy
had not warned him, as it had done in
the case of Deputy Leboucq a few
months before, when the latter was
frequenting the same company. M
Caillaux laid emphasis on the failure
of the embassy to warn him and said
that if he had been forewarned he
would have ceased his relations with
the pacifists Immediately.
"The embassy was under the impres.
sion that l was in Italy for no good
purpose" said M. Caillaux. "It though,
I was in Italy on treason bent and laid
a trap for me. 1t wanted to get me
and in order to do SO was willing to
jeopardize the security of France and
give me time to accomplish a separate
peace had it ever for q moment entered
my mind to do So"
The testimony Of M. Roux and Noble
maire followed Caillaux's every step In
Italy. and severe cross examination
by NJ Mero-G Giafferi, Of the accused's
counsel, and by Caillaux himself was
unable to shake their evidence. This
evidence was for the purpose of estab-
fishing that in 1916 Caillaux was pre-
pared to discuss the peace proposals Of
DR.. Won Bethmann Hollweg, former
Imperial Chancellor, and all other
peace notes issued around Christmas
Of that year, especially that of Presi-
dent Wilson, which the witnesses de.
clared Caillaux argued should be re-
piled to by acquiescence in willing.
ness to talk peace with Germany.

Wotnan's Letters
Throw Light on
Chicago Tragedy
Police Find Bleyer's s'Kitten
Girl" Had Other Admir-
ers; Her Diary Is Turned
Over to the Coroner
spscto, Dispatch to Tho Tribune

CHICAGO, March 10.-Love letters,
diaries and personal accounts, tending
to show the variety and extent of Mrs.
Ruth Randall's affections were turned
over by the homicide squad to-day to
the coroner to assist him in his inves-
tigation Of the tragedy in which she
and Clifford Bleyer, advertising man,
we're found shot to death.
Bleyer, who was the husband Of an
other woman, called Mrs. Randall his
"kitten girl" in his letters. He knew
her kitten moods" laughed at them,
but failed to realize that the "kitten"
would some day scratch. The letters
throw light; on Bleyer's mad infatua-
tiOn for the woman. They disclose
many Of the clandestine incidents con-
nected with their love.
letter dated March Z, 1913, from
Bleyer while he was Captain of Ord
nance in Washington, shows that for
"kitten mine" he would chuck up every
thing, commission and all, just to be
with her.
The diary Of Mrs. Randall demon
strates clearly how lack of love de-
pressed and carried her into the throes
Of despair. The motive Of the diary is
expressed in sad and melancholy
poem at its beginning, written in
French. A free translation is:
"Life is vain
A little love,
A little pain,
And then goodbye"
eff this be read some reason may be
found for what have done," she wrote
at the start The personal accounts
in the diary show that Bleyer had
several rivals and the police to-day
were trying to trace them.
First hints of quarrel are contained
in one letter that accused her of seek
ing solace for her grief at his depar-
ture in the company of other men.
inclination. to come to Washington, as
he had requested, and added:
"ln view of this, please don't in your
letters talk about coming here. If you
wanted to take time you'd probably
be here by now. It's probably just as
we'll, though, as my affairs are uncer-
tain, and after I've been away from
you for while you'll be sufficiently in
terestcd in some one else to forget
me--if you haven't done so already"
Some premontion of the sordid end
to which their love was to lead is con-
tanned in another letter, in which
A,Aeyei ueClaieu lHe HuHlan tongue IL
the worlds most dangerous weapon,
more dangerous even than the pistol
as a destroyer of character, love,
families and nations"
The gradual ascendency Of Bleyer in
her regard and the dismissal of his
rivals is disclosed in q series of en-
tries and notes-then the waning hours
of the romance" that ended when the
bodies were found side by side in her
apartment, 1907 Lake Park Avenue.
Ruth Randall, vampire" is the
verdict of the police on the woman
who killed Bleyer and herself. They
say the writings found in her apart
ment demonstrate that she had ether
married men besides Bleyer on her
list of visitors.

fed by marks on his clothing as Lieu
tenant Clayton Stoner, of Chicago, was
burned to death in his airplane when it
fell near New Paris, Ind, about 10 q. m.
to-day. Stoner probably became lost
in the mist and was seeking the Wabash

daily in their fight over this section Of
the country.
The machine landed in wood.
Wood choppers were unable to extricate
the aviator before he was burned to
death following the explosion of the gas
tank on the plane. The machine was
destroyed. The mail was only slightly
burned. 1t Is believed Stoner swept so
low seeking the railroad that his plane
struck the trees.
