~ y - y
StQUisltu Inquest Goes On

Of Bee ct Ongles, have Ill been arrest
ed. These papers, 1t has now been
proven, were subsidized with Stavisly
money. The charge, therefore. Is re-
ceiving stolen money.
All told over twenty notables are
under arrest or facing charges. But
strangely enough Lawyer 0uiboud-
Ribaud, who was Stavisky's partner
and man-of-the-hour, Is still free.
One wonders why. His dispute with
George Bonnet, ex-minister Of Fin
ance. still amuses the news readers
who have any sense Of humor left. A
case Of Katy did, Katy didn't" Some
body ought to know whether he was
really q member OF Bonnet's cabinet.
And the public Is disguised. Luck
ny today is Sunday and there will be
little or no street demonstrating. The
public Is waiting to see when Presi-
dent Lebrun will choose to form the
new cabinet.
Paris Again Peaceful
January 20: Quiet reigned in Paris
last night. Today the Boulevards are
making their toilette; they need 1t.
Everybody's attention Is upon Presi-
dent Lebrun and the cabinet in the
making. His first effort was truly
brilliant but he failed, although
through no fault Of his.
Lebrun telephoned to CASTOR Dou-
mergue, former President OF the Re-
public and one Of the best loved men
In France, requesting him to take over
the government Of his country. From
his retreat, down in the south Of
France. that 78-year-old patriarch
refused. MY extreme age" said
Gastounet, Is Doumergue Is famil-
iarly called, makes It impossible for
me to assume q task 50 heavy with
responsibility"
Doubtless he Is right, but he Is the
only trusted man In France.
The problem confronting President
Lebrun IS q purely political one, q
technical one. What man can form
the cabinet and be sure OF having a
majority? Blind, blind, the Radical
Socialists and the other Left groups
think only in terms Of votes and par
Namentary power. The system of
Government maintenance is such that,
at any moment and on any subject,
the vote Of confidence" can be de-
manded. II this be voted down the
cabinet has fallen. Thus, any cab
met must be sure Of majority. With
all the multifold shades and, hues Of
politics, all seeking their own private
ends for their own private and spec
ial groups, votes are exchanged, bar
tered and formed In convenient
"blocs." France Is at the mercy Of
Parliament, at the mercy Of the poll
teal whims and caprices Of her Depu-
ties and Senators. There Is no one
man on the horizon strong enough
to force all the groups into line. Some
man must be found who Is agile and
clever enough to create q reciprocity

Many others were released from hos
pitfalls.
Among those still in hospitals was
Sergeant Austin Brannan, severely
slugged when he sought to turn
aside the strikers truck that burst
through police lines and made for
the loaded vehicle leaving the Slo-
cum Bergen company. Patrolman
John Green, shot in the leg, was re-
leased from the hospital.
Hardly m hour before the out
break the Rev. Haas, who with E.
II. Dunnigan, is trying to mediate
the strike, had expressed optimism
over the outlook for settlement. He
had earlier presented q skeleton plan
% . basis for erasing the dispute,
arising from the drivers demands
for higher wages and wider union
recognition-an outgrowth Of the
settlement in the May walkout.
Frisco Employer Offer Plan
In San Francisco, the waterfront
employers Saturday announced q plan
Of arbitration. to settle the maritime
strike, providing the longshoremen's
union should vote to submit Ill Diff
ferences to mediation by the presi-
dents labor disputes board.
The employers, however, agreed to
submit to arbitration the questions Of
hours, wages and working conditions
with the maritime unions.
1.-THE employers have not heretofore
agreed to arbitrate with the maritime
unions" the statement said.
The proposed plan however, did not
mention the hiring halls or employ
ment agencies, which heretofore
have provided . stumbling block to
bringing the lonsshoremen and en-
ployers together for arbitration.
After the plan was announced, one
shipowner said privately that the
employers never. would agree" to
submitting the hiring halls question
to arbitration.
Portland Mayor Acts

harbor has been opened, that those

lection" WILDE given them, was made
Saturday by Mayor Joseph ]. Carson
For the last 10 weeks the marine
workers strike has held the port Of
Portland in virtual deadlock.
Friday, with one thousand national
guardsmen encamped within q few
minutes run Of the city, cargo was
worked on three vessels and q cara

voy relieved the gasoline drouth.

January 20: The cabinet has fallen

Public opinion, and that alone, has

Chautemps did not dare to present
his case before the Chamber . he
had planned. He has refused and
repulsed every attempt to bring the
scandals involving his government
leaders into the light, caused every

all joined forces with the reactionary
boys. They overwhelmed the police
in several places. The Opera. the
Madeleine, the Latin Quarter, Saint

Champs Elysees quarter were seeth-
ing. More than 500 arrests were made,
Nobody knows at the moment the

and the bursting flames lighted up
the whole center Of Paris. The whole
terrasse Of the famouns Cafe de ID
Paix was smashed, tables burned and
broken. plate glass shivered and
splintered.
The mob has shown its teeth. When
the news Of the governments fall
was made public, wave Of near-in-
sanity swept over the city. The faces
Of the mob have changed their ex-
preston. Other nights there has been
q sort Of college boy smile, playful
rowdism. Last night they were grim
Today there is q dark look In every
body's eye. Foreigners are requested
to remain indoors.
Stavisky's Ghost Stalks
These are the same people who
burned the Bastille.
There will be pause now while the
new Cabinet Is being formed, but that
Cabinet will assume It's duties under
an evil star. A grim ghost Is stalking
the streets. There are spots Of blood
on his white ghostly shroud. Stav-
isky's ghost.
Meanwhile the atavisky inquest
goes on as best 1t can.
Deputy Bonnaure Is In Bayonne
His arrest seems sure. He will Be

morrow. There seems to be no loop

Minnesota Corn Crop
Figures Are Lowered

st. Paul. Aug. 14.-(F)-The Aug
ust crop report Of the Minnesota CO.
operative reporting service Tuesday
published q forecast indicating . re-
duction In estimated corn yield from
July /, but unchanged forecast pro-
auctions for other principal crops.
In July, the report, published joint
~ by the United States and Minneso-
Ia departments Of agriculture, said,
the forecast for corn, wheat, oats,
barley, rye, flax and potatoes indi-
Gated . probable production Of 258,-

forecast production. due to q drop
In corn prospects, was only ~, 49,
600 bushels. Corn dropped 1885,. 600

tending across the state Is most SER
