DEATH ENDS
CAREER OF
DESCHANEL
Post War President of
France Dies in Paris;
Was 65.

Paris, April 2S.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press Paul Deschancl
former president of France, died
this afternoon.
Paul Eugene Louis Deschanel-
10th president of France, entered
upon a seven-year term in that Of
tice on Feb. Is, 1920, after having
bly, the preceding January by the
biggest majority since the election
of lnlers, the hrst president of the
present republic. Statesmen and
author anu one of the most bril-
liant pubic speakers in France
M. Deschanel's political triumph
marked the retirement from pubic
life of former Premier Georges
Clemenceau.
The campaign had been most SEN
sational and bitter. NJ. Clemenceau,
then at the height of his power as
the French war premier, and one
of the negotiators of the treaty
with Germany, was, up until a
few days before the election, be-
lieved to be the only candidate who
had chance for the office. Cath
olic and socialist votes in the
French parliament, however, COM
bined with those of the political
enemies of the Tiger" and elected
Deschanel. A few months later,
when Qeschanel had been forced
by illness to resign, THE Tiger
was asked if he again would permit
his name to be used as a candi-
date for the presidency.
Il was too old to be elected last
January" he replied, ironically
''and / feel too young to accept
now, in case / was chosen. / am
going into. India's iungles to hunt
tigers, which is much less danger
Gus than French politics"
Suffers Breakdown.
On May "a, 1920, few months
after taking up his residence al
the Elysee palace as the successor
of Poincare, President Deschanel
when on his way at night from
Paris to Montbrison to dedicate 4
monument, fell from moving train
while attempting to raise win
COW in his sleeping compartment
He was supposed to have been only
slightly injured. Thereafter, how
ever, the press of France express
ed almost daily solicitude for his
health. After passing weeks oi
convalescence in Normandy, he re-
turned to Paris in June to preside
at the council of ministers. Later
~ xror apnouncod that he had cuf
fered a complete breakdown and
that his resignation was inevitable
The following September, the pres
ident sent letter of resignation
to Premier Millerand together with
a message to the senate and cham
ber Of deputies which we're soou
followed by the election of his
successor.

Pasadena City Boss Seeks
LaU to Prevent One Armed
Driving by Ardent StUains

night that his recommendation for
a curb on one-armed driving was
the result of observations carried
on for more than a year, following
continual reports from police Of
ficers, particularly those on duty at
night, Of accidents, near accidents,
and broken ornamental lamp posts
which it costs the city $50 each to
replace, all due to the fact that au-
tomobile drivers were hugging d
girl instead of the roadway. No
similar complaints have been heard
about women drivers.
"Dfsarmed! DOggone It!s
In urging that "one-armed work.
be placed under the head of reck-
less driving, Mr.. Orbison said he
was willing to produce proof of the
necessity of the measure. This
could be done if the city council
would authorize the police to
bring in the one-armed companions
for few evenings and compel
them to register their names and
addresses at the police station. He
asserted the number would be sur
prising.
The proposed ordinance was re-
ferred to the city attorney for his
opinion Of the legal phases Of it.
Orbison is confident that the law
will be authorized and that the ex-
ample will spread throughout the
country until the fiapper and the
fiiyver will be disarmed.
"Disarmed, doggone the luck!"

ROW
COMES UPIN
SMALL CASE
Mortimer Flags Resolu.
tion by Lake Super
visors.

Waukegan, ILL.,, April 26.-(By
The Associated Press. Fired Nor
timer, states attorney of Sangamou
county, today attacked the resolu-
tion passed by the Lake county
board of supervisors demanding
Sangamon county pay and install
ment on the costs of the trial of
Governor Len Small.
Asking permission of Judge Claire
c. Edwards to make a statement,
Mr.. Mortimer said his county was
solvent and would pay every ceat
due Lake county in accordance with
the law
This resolution is contrary to
and against the very law of the
state and probably no such resolu-
ton was ever passed before by any
board of supervisors in the history
of the state" Mr.. Mortimer said.
Jury Won't Lose Pay.
Referring to rumors that the ju y
men might lose their pay because
they were drawn in an irregular
manner, he declared he had accept
ed that method in good faith and
they would be paid in good faith.
c. c. LeForgee, chief council for
the governor, said he had not seen
the resolution until this morning
'and neither I nor my associates
have anything to do with it.
I'VE have never been disposed" !"
he added, Ito question the jury
method"
Judge Edwards barred all pros
pective jurors from the court room
during the discussion.
May Subpoena Reporter.
Mr.. LeForgee raised the question
of the source from which the reso-
luton came and called attention to
an article in a Waukegan paper
last Monday in which the possibil-
ity of Sangamon county reneging
on its debt was discussed. He said
if it became necessary to trace the
source from which the move by the
board arose he would ask that the
Waukegan reporter be called to
testify.
Judge Edwards said there was
no disposition to charge the defense
with starting the move, and that his
judgment was to ignore the resolu-
tion, which he said was worthless.
Il want to take this opportunity
to congratulate the lawyers On
both sides of the table on the pro-
gress that has been made" the
court said. 1T has far exceeded my
expectations and l think our duty
as lawyers is to proceed with the
case in hand and pay no attention to
these outside matters"
