seauent deportation to Devils Island,
which he has already received for
swindling,
The indictment, which forms a vol
ume of AIS pages, has been sent to
the Assizes court and the Investigate
ing Judge, Bonin heaving great
sigh of relief, announced that the
case was now out of his hands. Mai

of the defense for Caillaux. will be
counsel for the accused Gambais man.
Lantru has appealed to the Court of
Cessation against swindling Judge
BONN told him the appeal would de-
lay his trial for murder, and thus de-
prive him of a chance to prove his
innocence before next March.
'"I am in no hurry" responded Ian

In Schools of Brazil
(Bv Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO, Dec. 2S,-Some
Brazilian government officials oppose
the Italian governments proposal that
the Italian language be taught in Bra
lillian schools in districts largely oc-
cupied by immigrants from Italy. This
plan was contained in the labor and
emigration agreement which the ltal-
ian government recently offered to
Brazil. The Brazilian director gen
eral of commercial and consular at
fairs has presented report on the
subject to his government objecting
to this proposal.
The agreement planned to regulate
the future settlement of Italians in
Brazil, where they already form an
important part of the population. par
ticularry in the coffee-producing state
of Sac Paulo The Italians requested
also that arbitral tribunals be set UP
to decide controversies between work
ers and their employees.

oeived at the peniteniary in the future
will be much older.
"A youth has daring and is reckless"
Chief French said HE doesn't stop
to think of the consequences of his
act. He doesn't need a stimuIant to
key him up.
On the contrary. mature man, al

mission, will hear the testimony as
to the ability of the trunk lines to
give New England roads a greater
share of the freight receipts.
When the hearing closed several
weeks ago, Howard Elliott, former
president of the New York, New Ha-
ven and Hartford railroad told the
commission that unless New England
roads had a greater share of the di-
visions, they probably would go into
the hands of the receiver and this
would tear down the entire financial
system of the railroads.
