.Mata-Hari Alive;
Execution Fake,
Claim Of Guard
Famous Danseuse-Spy Saved
by Her Sweetheart Officer,
Member Of Death
Squad Asserts.

Paris, Ian. .lO.-Following the rev.
c1ations Of Count Emile Massard or
the life, trial and death of Mata Hari
as told recently in The Evening Bee
additional doubts have developed as
to the truth of the official report Q!
her execution.
"Mata Hari is alive. The man
charged to enforce the execution had
once been her lover. and the rifles
OF the wounded chasseurs who
formed the, firing squad were filled
with blank cartridges.
"Mata Hari was warned OF the de-
ception beforehand and when the
rifles spoke. tumbled down, like the
wonderful actress she was. in a
splendid similitude of death.
"The officer in charge, who had ar.
ranged this travesty of justice, fired
the coup de grace into the groun':
ind not into the ear of the fallen
woman. as Count Massard states"
These are the statements of Cpl
Pierre Deny. one of Mata Harris
death guard. They come after state
ments by persons who knew the
famous dancer intimately, that she is
l;ving in Germany in seclusion.
These. stories are contradicted By
officials in charge of the execution,
who say Mata Harris body, after no
body had claimed it, was taken {,
the amphitheater Of the faculty Of
medicine and there dissected.

fled in Denver under the Sherman
antitrust act against the Cement Sc
curities company and its six sub
sidiary cement manufacturing COM
panies and their officers and direc.
tors, Attorney General Daugherty
announced late today is one of .
series of antitrust proceedings in
stituted with view to restoring
competitive conditions in the cement
industry.
"The Cement Securities com.
pany," he said, neither manufac.
lures nor sells cement; it is strictly
holding company and constitutes
a monopoly cf the type which was
condemned BY the supreme court oil
the United States in the so-called
Northern Securities case, decided in
March, 1904.
In the cases heretofore instituted
at New York, Chicago and Kansas
City, the defendants are charged
with accomplishing their unlawful
objeets by the modern method oI
so-called open price associations, and
the exchange between members o.
comprehensive statistical data with
respect to the business of each. The
exchange on statistical data between
potential competitors was likewise
condemned in vigorous terms b. the
supreme court in its recent decision
against the Hardwood Lumber asso-
ciation."

until the end Of January.
Insistence by the American dele

ing to China and renewal Of effort

Shantung are chiefly responsible for

who had engaged passage for home
next week, cancelled their reserva-
tions today. Mr.. Balfour Of Britain

1t was authoritatively stated. tc-
night that the action of the confer
