CLEMENCEAU, AGED TIGER OF FRANCE,
 MAY WE'D AMERICAN

Paris, Jan 3.-Allusion to the approaching mar riage" of Premier Clemen- ceau to the widow of a former senator and former ambassador of France" is made by Humanite today. It is understood that this re- fers to gossip which has been current in Paris and political circles for some days that M. Clelnenceau had married Countess D'Aunay widow of Count Charles le Peletier D'Au- nay, former ambassador of France at Berne. The mar riage was said to have taken place in England a fort night ago. An authority very close to the premier, however, declares the story is quite without foundation. The countess is of an Amer ican family.
 Available records fail to show of what American family the Countess d'Au- nav Is a m am hoy.

 LATE MINE INSPECTOR
State Mining Board, However Rules Governor Within His Rights and Further Con-

Fort Smith, Ark, Jan. B. Following a decision of the state mining board here today uphold ing Governor Brough in discharg. ing Thomas H. Shaw, as state mine inspector, and the request of Shaw to the local circuit court for an injunction restraining the board from interfering with him in the discharge of his duties of state mine inspector" the Central Coal and Coke company, of Hartford, Ark, late Saturday night, secured "a temporary restraining order against Shaw, enjoining him from continuing the prevention of op- erations of any mine of the com- pany. The order was granted by Chancery Judge J. V. Bourland.
 Hearings on the injunction re- quested by Shaw and for the con- tinuance of the temporary order issued against Shaw are set for next Tuesday morning in this city.
 Upholds Shaw.
 Little Rock, Jan. 3.-Thomas H. Shaw, state mine inspector, re- gently removed by Governor Brough and who later refused to admit that he has been removed: scored first in the row this morn ing when Attorney General Ar, buckle ruled that the removal o;' the inspector was not within the prerogative of the chief executive of the state.
 Attorney Genera! Arbuckle bas- ed his opinion on a supreme court decision "that the right to re- move public official does not in- here in the chief executive of the state" also that when public official has been appointed by the governor for fixed term the chief executive cannot remove him.
 Just what steps will be pursued by the attorney general has not yet been determined. Governor Brough has left the matter en- tirely in the hands of that off cial. It has been suggested that im- peachment would be more exped- tent inasmuch as the legislature convenes in special session on Janu- ary 2e. It has also been suggested that the coming extra session of that body repeal the present mine inspectors law and pass a new one automatically relieving the state of MT. Shaw.
