the heat. The National Gunpowder Factory at Bergerac (Dordogne) was blown up when a store of powder, dried to danger point by the heat, exploded. Twenty persons were injured, three of them very seriously. The weekend was not all accidents and sunstroke, however. Among its many charming features none was more successful than the garden party given by the British Ambassador in Paris and the Marchioness of Crewe for the hundred and fifty British girls who are now on the Paris stage. The fireworks along the Seine last night were also particularly delightful, and Notre-Dame and the Pont-Neuf had the benefit of some beautiful pyrotechnical illumination. The weekend saw the inauguration of the new road police on the great highways from Paris to Vichy and from Paris to Deauville. On both roads the success of the new police arm was marked. Through the intense heat and noisy celebration of the holiday the French Socialist Party was holding its National Council, and long speeches did nothing to make delegates happier in the stifling hall. General Gouraud, Military Governor of Paris and former commander of the 4th Army, had a happier notice for his speech at the tenth anniversary commemoration in Champagne; he chose midnight for his address at Navarin Farm. One of the unusual celebrations of the holiday was the release of 4,200 homing pigeons from Brussels in the Carrousel in Paris. They are probably all at home again now. Most of them arrived as quickly as the Paris express. The Radio Nuisance. Declaring loudspeakers to be a nuisance for neighbors, M. Louis Soulié, Mayor of Saint-Étienne (Loire), has forbidden the installation of any radio set which can be heard from the street. M. Soulié is also a Senator. No Trade Theft. Two executives of the Zapon Company of Paris, manufacturers of artificial leather, have figured in a suit for damages of 5,000,000fr. brought by the Fabrikoid Company of Evreux (Eure) which charged that M. Braun, head of the Zapon Company, sent M. Smil, an engineer, to its plants to steal trade secrets. The court at Evreux has rendered its judgment.

It decides that there was no theft of trade secrets, or attempt at theft. Funeral of Jenny Goldner. No reason to doubt that Miss Jenny Goldner, the Australian music-hall star who was found shot through the heart on Wednesday, committed suicide was discovered by the doctor who made the post-mortem examination, and a burial permit was issued. A funeral service will be held tomorrow at St. George’s Church, Rue Auguste-Vacquerie, at noon. Afterwards the body will be held in the mortuary of the church awaiting the decision of relatives in England regarding the place of burial. M. Jeanmonod is in charge of the funeral arrangements. Boa Constrictor at Large. A boa constrictor belonging to a traveling circus has escaped from confinement at Châtellerault (Vienne). The residents of the town are assured that they need not worry for twelve days, as it will require that length of time before the boa constrictor becomes hungry. The re-assurance does not prove re-assuring, and the town is in a state of terror. Hunting parties have been organized to seek the reptile in the cellars of various public buildings, but without success. Many persons are afraid to venture from their homes. Pig Swindler Sentenced.

Decision in the pig scandal case which stirred France several months ago has been rendered by the 11th Correctional Court in Paris. Paul Pequignot, the organizer of the company which persuaded people to invest in pigs which did not exist, must spend two years in prison, pay a fine of 1,000fr., and repay 345,000fr. to investors. He was formerly an attorney at Bordeaux (Gironde). One of the revelations in the pork-raising trials, which involved several defendants, was that small herds of pigs were sometimes driven before spectators, through a barn, and back before the spectators again, so that their number seemed to be multiplied.

FAIT ELKINS TO JOIN TEAM IF IN SHAPE Décathlon Crack to Pass Test and Report, Says Wireless from President Roosevelt. (Paris Times Radio) NEW YORK, Sunday—Although the squabble regarding membership of the United States Olympic team continues to disturb the serenity of the atmosphere which is expected to surround the journey of the selected athletes, the committee on board the President Roosevelt has shown a disposition to relent in at least one case. Chief Fait Elkins, the Indian décathlon crack who is considered the equal if not the superior of famous Jim Thorpe, will be accepted as a member of the team as soon as his physical fitness is established by examination. Elkins is one of the five men whom the New York Athletic Club is sending to Amsterdam at its own expense as a protest against non-inclusion in the American team. The others are Matt McGrath, hammer-thrower; Roland Locke, sprinter; Weems Baskin, hurdler, and Norton Jackson, wrestler. The committee on board the President Roosevelt has sent a wireless message ordering Elkins to join the team if he passes the test. Elkins pulled a tendon in the 100-metre dash in the décathlon trials at Cambridge, Mass. This was the first event and although the injury prevented him from further running and hurdling trials, he attempted the field events. His marks with the weights

The others are Matt McGrath, hammer-thrower; Roland Locke, sprinter; Weems Baskin, hurdler, and Norton Jackson, wrestler. The committee on board the President Roosevelt has sent a wireless message ordering Elkins to join the team if he passes the test. Elkins pulled a tendon in the 100-metre dash in the décathlon trials at Cambridge, Mass. This was the first event and although the injury prevented him from further running and hurdling trials, he attempted the field events. His marks with the weights were below his average and when he attempted the high jump his leg was in such condition that he was compelled to abandon. Later, however, examination showed that the injury was not as serious as had been feared. Electrical treatment restored his leg to normal and in a practice décathlon test he is reported to have totalled more than 8,000 points, nearly 300 points more than the Olympic record. If fit, Elkins is easily the best all-round athlete in the country. Had he competed in the official trial he would unquestionably have made the team. Since he is said to be in form now his presence on the team appears to be assured. No reference is made to the other four athletes. McGrath was not chosen because of a misunderstanding. His marks in the Eastern trials were so good that he did not consider it necessary to compete in the final. When these Eastern marks were not bettered at Cambridge McGrath considered that he would be selected. The Committee did not agree and he was omitted. Baskin, admittedly one of the best hurdlers in the country, lost his balance in the semi-final trial over 110 metres and finished fourth. Only

Absolutely final selections for the American team will be announced in Amsterdam on Thursday. If protests before the Selection Committee in New York are pressed successfully before that date the four men in question will be allowed to compete.
