VALENTINO HOT
AT EDITORIAL
AGAINST 8 HIM
Cl,y Dispatch A. p. wire,

NEW YORK, July 20.-Pink powder
puffs, or those of any other color, are
most repulsive to Rudolph Valentino.
He used several varieties of Ian
guage today in making this clear as
he admitted challenging to a duel the
anonymous writer Of an editorial in
the Sunday Chicago Tribune who
linked him with this mark of FEM
ininity. His challenge was contained
in letter mailed after. he had read
the editorial and its authenticity was
doubted until Valentino voiced the
authorship. ,..lN
Ever since The sheik' came out"
he said today, some of the 9people
have started making fun of it. The
result was that every younug effemi-
nate man or every Juvenile criminal
has been called a sheik Although the
sheik was a very manly character, the
opposite impression became prevalent
and these persons sought to give the
impression that I was the original of
a low type of character.
This is beneath contempt, but such
! a public statement demands a public
answer"
Valentino became very heated while
expressing his feelings land flushed
beneath his coat of tan. HIS expires
sion belied the Immaculate dress, slave
bracelet and other characteristics by
which he is known,
Whether my challenge is answered
on not" he continued, TN find the
! writer of that editorial or anv ane
else WHO follows his steps. I will
have three weeks to- spend in Chicago
! if necessary"
| Valentino in his challenge recog
nized that duelling is Illegal in Illi-
nois, so offered to settle the affair
in a boxing or wrestling match.

FALL OF FRANC

OF FRENCHMEN
fny Dispatch A. P. wlral

PARIS, July 20.--The francs drop
to sensational low is marked by a
corresponding rise in the temper of
the Paris population. 1t went to 1898
to the dollar today and after the close
of the bourse, the dollar flirted with
SO francs, but the franc never got
down to two American cents Deep
anxiety prevails in business and fl
nancial circles, made evident by nu-
the streets. Parisians are still seek
ing for those to hold responsible
They hooted the deputies in front of
the new chamber after the fall of
the BRAND cabinet and they jeered
M. Herriot the new premier, when he
called on President Doumergue. But
foreigners, especially Americans ap-
pear fair game upon which the pop
ulace vents is spleen. Thus far no
foreigners have been injured, the
manifestations consisting largely of
boots, cat-calls and insult. Numer-
Gus individual clashes have occurred
in the cafes and restaurants, cUl-
minating last night in an attack upon
a eharabanc filled with Americans
visiting the sights of Montmartre
The sight -seers' loud talk was resent
ed by the citizens of Montmartre
who surrounded the car in threat
ening manner.
Commenting on the affray, the aft
ernoon papers say it was to be be
expected and they fear it will not be
the last. h -
On. the other hand, there have been
instances Of foreign visitors inviting
trouble. This afternoon three youths
said to be from Connecticut, stood, in
St. Paul square, insulting passers-by
tripping and striking them. They
were eventually surrounded by an
ugly crowd, who belabored the Amer
leans. The youths were taken to a
police station, but were released after
warning.
The police are taking extraordinary
precautions to prevent such efferves-
cence developing into regular rioting.
The forces have been doubled around
the stock exchange and the ElySee
palace and uniformed men stand
guard near the brokers' offices. Ex-
citing scenes were witnessed during
the closing hours of the bourse. ExA
ira police guards were busy curbing
the great rush to buy foreign issues
with dividends payable in stable cur
rency and % sell domestic securities,
on which capital levy was feared.
