covered in court to-day when Patrick

cerned with other men not yet ar
rested in attempting to murder two
policemen and trying to set on fire
barrels of oil on the premises of the
Vacuum Oil company.
The company's plant is at Vands-
wortht southwest London, and 10000
barrels, containing 100000 gallons of
oil, are stored there.
At ! o'clock this morning, three po-
licemen discovered fifteen men lurking
near the Vacuum eompany's premises,
some of them apparently having just

covered later that elaborate prepara-

peared before President Millerand to.
day and declined to form the new cab

Difficulties encountered by NJ. Peret
in trying to form cabinet we're OF
such a discouraging nature that he de-
cided yesterday to give up the task.

premier, went to the foreign Office. NJ.
Niviani. however. was adamant in his
refusal TO become member Of the cab-
met being too busy with his law prac-
tice and with the activities of the
league of nations
one obstacle to the formation Of
cabinet by NJ Peret was the determine
tion of the radicals not to permit a
member Of this group to enter the cab

government should withdraw from the
