PARIS, July 22. Joseph Caillaux,
former premier of France, was again
the central figure in the court where
Mme. Henrietta Caillaux. his wife, is
on trial for the killing o Gaston Cai
mette, editor of the Le Figaro. In
stead of the presentation of the diplo
matic secret documents, politically
crushing Caillaux, as was intimated by
the prosecution yesterday, there was
triumph for Caillaux when the govern
ment admitted in open court that such
documents did not exist.
When M. Labori, counsel for the de
fense, said he would consider the in
cident closed, M. Chenu, the brilliant
attorney for the Calmette family, re
plied: "The incident is closed with satisfac
tion to Caillaux, but to my mind it is
nothing but a clever diversion staged
to transform a criminal trial into a
political cause, and ending by giving
Caillaux a certificate of disinterested
patriotism."
When M. Chenu declared it did not
become M. Caillaux to endeavor to
soil the grave which his wife had
made, the ex-premier sprang forward
and exclaimed:
' Since I must take notice of what
this lawyer has said, I ask him if he
will take personal responsibility for
his words."
When the uproar subsided. M. Chenu
replied:
I take entire responsibilits'. You
cannot menace me here."

diplomatic documents mentioned at
yesterday's hearing as being in the
possession of the assassinated editor.
It was said that these documents
were later handed to President Poin
care, who passed them to the foreign
office. Joseph Caillaux "and Ferdi
nand Labori. the latter counsel for the
defense, demanded that the documents
be produced in court.
When court convened the procura
tor general said: "I am authorized by
the government to declare that the
documents referred to in yesterday's
testimony are only pretended copies of
documents which do not exist."
After an exchange between Labori
and Charles Chenu, the attorney rep
resenting Le Figaro and Calmette's
heirs, the procurator general exclaim

Caillaux was unstained. George Pres

chairman of Le Figaro company, de

of Caillaux to come here In an endea
vor to soil the grave his wife has
made."
An exciting scene followed until the
judge called for order.
August Avril, political editor of Le
Figaro, declared that early in Novem
ber. 1913 M. Caillaux stopped him in
the lobby of the chamber of deputies
and asked how much longer Calmette
was going to continue his campaign.
M. Caillaux said to him:
"You know I am a crack shot. I go
every day to the shooting gallery and
get a bull's eye every time."
The ex-premier leaped to his feet
and demanded that he be confronted
with the witness. The two stood face
to face at the bar. M. Caillaux affirm

having said such a thing: M. Avril

COCHISE STANDS FIRM
BISBEE, July 22. A lousing
meeting was held here tonight of
the Cochise county progressive
leaders, and a resolution was un
animously adopted favoring a
straight progressive state ticket
and also a full progressive county
ticket for Cochise county. There
was much enthusiasm and ,the
meeting was thoroughly repre
sentative. Addresses were de
livered by Messrs. Nathan, Lyon,
Hicks, Roff and others. Cochise
will offer progressive candidates
for the corporation commission,
mine inspector and secretary of
state.
DWIGHT B. HEARD.
Pima and Cochise counties have
refused to listen to the siren calls
of the standpat leaders of the Re
publican pa.-ty to amalgamate with
them for the purposes of the county
elections and have decided to put full
county tickets in the field bearing
the party emblem and carrying with
them a strong endorsement of prog
ressive principles. This news follows
close on the heels of despatches re
ceived from Yuma in Phoenix yester
day to the effect that the progress
ives in that county have taken the
republican name for the county tick
et, but will w.-ite the platform and
practically run the election.
However the agreement entered in
to between the progressives and re
publicans in Yuma county carries
with it the endorsement of Theodore
Roosevelt for president in 1916.
Immediately following this action
steps were taken by J. L. Hubbell
and R. E. Mor.'ison to take into the
fold, on the same sort of an agree
ment both the progressives of Pima
end Santa Cruz counties. The Pima
county progressives however were
were alive to the situation and re
fused to consider the proposition,
putting the Santa Cruz progressives
wise to the proposal at the same
time.
Soon afte-.- the attempt became
known in Fima yesterday, and fol
lowing the news of the Yuma coun
ty action, T. K. Marshall, of Pima
county, chairman of the county com
mittee there, telephoned to Phoenix
that the feeling of Pima county
progressives was against any amal
gamation along the lines of the
the movement south of Villa's forces
to participate in the union of ail re
volutionary troops before moving to
Mexico City. Villa's departure for
a week's visit to his old home in the
mountains of western Chihuahua did
not indicate that he would move
soon for the south.
Officials of all parties expressed
the belief that the trouble hetween
the two leaders and the factions they
represent will not break out at least
until after the occupation of the na
tional capital. They expressed doubt,
however, over the results of the at
tempted reconstruction of the na
tion's business affairs after the last
four years of almost continual war-

ASQUITH RESPONSIBLE
FOR KING'S SPEECH
LONDON, July 22 A more
hopeful feeling prevails' tonight
with regard to the home rule
conferences for which the king is
sponsor. Premier Asquith's as
surance to parliament in which
he assumed full responsibility for
the king's speech, declared that
no constitutional precedent has
been contravened, allayed much
angry feeling among the liberals,
or at least transferred it from the
king to the premier himself.
Gunther Says He
Did Not Assault
Harbor Master
Tassociated press dispatch
CHRISTIANIA, July 22. Franklin
B. Gunther, secretary of the Ameri
can legation gave a statement to the
Associated Press regarding the al
legation made by the Norwegian pa
pers that he had assaulted the har
bor master at Christiania several
days ago, when that official ordered
the steam yacht Pauline, on which
Gunther was guest, to shift her an
chorage. "The occurrence in question grew
out apparently of the great anger
and' violent attitude of the Nor
wegian harbor police official," said
Gunther in his statement, because
the English yacht was anchored in
a certain location in the harbor. My
sole connection with the affair was
that I insisted that an American in
valid lady on board should not be
frightened and insulted by the con
duct of the official. There was no
physical clash. Statements to that
effect are absolutely false."

Three persons were killed - outright
another died later, and twenty-one
were injured, some seriously, in a
head-on collision tonight between a
three-car trolley train carrying 279
Sunday school picnickers with a
trolley freight.
All the dead are residents of
Bridgeport. None of the injured it
is believed are in a critical condi
tion. According to Dr. Frank Pow
ers, the town medical examiner, the
motorman of the picnic train put on
all speed down hill in an endeavor
to reach a siding before the arrival
of the freight, which he knew was
coming. The brakes were not set.

WASHINGTON, July 24. The re
signation . from congress of Repre
sentative William G. Sharp of Ohio,
recently appointed ambassador to

VANCOUVER, July 22. The Hin

sail at 5 o'clock this morning unless a
number of things were done for them.
They complained about the food.

Hindus want more.
Yuma compact and last night a joint
meeting was held at Tucson between
the progressives and the two repub
licans who are touring the state in
the interests of amalgamation, with
the result that by a unanimous vote
the proposition of Messrs. Hubbell
and Morrison was turned down cold.
In the meantime a meeting was
held at Bisbee for the purpose o
lining up the progressives in the big
square county of Cochise, and as a
result the progressives there went
squarely on record as did their
brothers at Tucson, against any
amalgamation. They went further.
adding that in addition to a full
county ticket the Cochise county
progressives would offer three mem
bers for the progressive state ticket
Telephone advices from other
counties in the state, notably Pinal
county, indicate that the feeling of
the majority of progressives is
against any sort of union which will
even jeopardize In the slightest de
gree the name progressive or the
principles for which the party stands.
Enthusiasm is ripe in Pinal, Co
chise and Pima counties for the
progressive cause and It is conceded
even among democrats that the
progressives will elect in these coun
ties some of the men they put up.

MEXICO CITY, July 22 That an
armistice between the government and
the constitutionalists was signed to
night, and that hostilities will be sus
pended at once throughout the coun
try, is the statement given out by Gen
eral Eduardo Iturbide, governor of the
federal district, in the name of Carba
jal. Iturbide added that the peace ne
gotiations will be advanced upon a
basis giving full guarantees to every
body. General Antonio Rojas, former revo
lutionary loader, who later became a
federal chief, revolted with 200 troops
at Tacubaya, a suburb. A detachment
of the Nineteenth regiment was sent
in pursuit and routed Rojas and his
men in the Santa Ke hills. Fifty mu
tineers were captured and brought
here tonight under a heavy guard. Ro
jas and Colonel Alatriste, with about
100 men escaped, closely followed by
government troops. Officials of the
Mexican railway announced tonight
the gap in the railway line outside of
Vera Cruz has been repaired and an

Against Smuggling
WASHINGTON, July 22. Extra
ordinary precaution against smuggling
of arms and ammunition across the
Mexican border has been ordered by
the treasury- department. With an
open break in the constitutionalists'
ranks threatening, the American gov
ernment is determined to prevent the
accumulation in the northern territory
of a supply of war munitions which
might be used in a counter revolution.
Collectors of customs along the bor
der are directed by an order to exer
cise unceasing vigilance; to have every
car and vehicle crossing the border
searched and to give particular atten
tion to tank cars. If these precau
tions prove unavailing, it is understood
the government may resort to formal
embargo proclamation similar to the
one issued by Taft and rescinded later
by Wilson.
A few days after the occupation of
Vera Cruz, when Carranza assumed
rather a belligerent attitude toward
the army, treasury orders against the
exportation of arms were issued. It is
an open secret, however, that within
the past few- months enormous quan
tities of munitions have been shipped
into Mexico.
Predict Triumphal Entry
VICTORIA, Tnmaulipas, July SJ.
Direct telegraphic communication be
tween Mexico City and Carranza has
been opened here. Officers with Car
ranza declared that a triumphal en
try of the constitutionalists into Mex
ico City without bloodshed is tow
assured. Carranza is here en route
to Tampico.
Robles Doininguez. confidential
agent of the constitutionalists in
Mexico City asked for instructions,
but Carranza's reply was not made
public. It is to Dominguez that Diaz
turned over the government during
the time between his departure for
Europe and the entry of Mailero.
Constitutionalist officials here think
the Carranza-Carbajal negotiations
will be brief and that Carranza will
enter the capital with little delay.
The first chiefs journey to Tam
pico was not continued because of
the pressure of business. There was
a general feeling of rejoicing as the
impression prevailed that fighting in
the present movement in Mexico is
at an end. It is understood every
precaution will be taken by Carranza
and Carbajal to prevent disorder in
the capital.
Manuel Walls, confidential agent of
the Spanish government, now in El
Paso, was notified by Carranza that
he will be received to discuss iir
foimally affairs in Mexico affecting
his countrymen. Hitherto all com
munications Horn me powers nave
been transmitted to the constitution
alists through the United States.
While Walls' unofficial visit does not
entail recognition by Spain, his gov
ernment is the first to make such a
request.
Peace it Not Assured
WASHINGTON, July 22. Peace in
Mexico is far from assured and com
plications both internal and interna
tional are rapidly entangling the situ

Hotrr. Rowels Interest
Amendment To R. S. Bill
(Special to The Republican)
WASHINGTON, July 22 Rejecting
amendments proposing to charge in
terest on deferred payments for rec
lamation construction work, the
house of representatives today waded
through sections one and two of the
"reclamation extension bill" and
passed them. The other thirteen sec
tions will be considered next Wed
nesday, when, according to Represen
tative Carl Hayden of Arizona, the
bill will be passed as a whole.
Senate Bill 4fi28 was introduced by
M. A. Smith, of Arizona, on February
28, 1914, and referred to the com
mittee on irrigation and reclamation
of arid lands. On March 4, it was
reported a second time by Mr. Smith
with amendments, and shortly after
ward passed.
The rejection of amendments
charging interest on the deferred
payments by the house, leads to the
belief that the bill will now go
through without any further change.
It has first place on the calendar of
Wednesday, July 29.
The first two sections, which were
passed by tho house today read as
follows:
Re it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the

OYSTER HAY, July 22. Colonel
Roosevelt in a formal statement en
dorses the candidacy of Ex-Senator
Harvey D. Hinman, of Ringhamton, for
the gubernatorial nomination at the
republican primaries.
In the statement Roosevelt calls
upon "all good citizens of all parties

have a duty to the nation. I stand for
the principles of the national pro
gressive platform, and therefore, shall
oppose the policies of the r'resent ad
ministration, which I regard as deeply
injurious alike to the honor and the
interests of the American people.
"But in this state the prime duty is
for a eood citizens' movement, a uni
ted movement to save the state from
the bi-partisan control of Messrs.
Barnes and Murphy, precisely like the
good citizens' movement last year,
when by union the city of New York
was saved from the domination of Mr.
Murnhv. I hope with all my heart
that all independent citizens, progress
ives, republicans and democrats, in
their national affiliation, will stand
shoulder to shoulder for a clean non
partisan government in the state at
large this fall."
"In New York state we see at its
worst, the development of the system
of bi-partisan boss rule. The outcome
of this system is that invisible govern
ment which the progressive party in a
large part is found to oppose. It is im
possible to secure the economy and
social and industrial reform to which
we are pledged until the invisible gov
ernment of party bosses, working
through an alliance between crooked
business and crooked politics, is root

WASHINGTON, July 22 Upon in-

day the revised Clayton bill to supple- j

from the judiciary committee, but the
Interstate Commerce committee, after
an all-day session, was still not quite
ready with a perfected measure to
regulate the issuance of securities by
common carriers.
The securities bill is practically

cratic congressional committee went

split in, the third' district is expect
ed to extend throughout the state
and may result in the election of
three progressive members from
Louisiana.
Another development which great
tlv grieved democratic leaders was
the announcement that George K.
Kindel, a democratic member of the
house from Colorado, has quit the
democratic party and will in future
operate in politics as an independ
ent. The leaders in the progressive

They are W. H. Price, L. C. Rogers,

Senator-elect Broussard of Louisi

issue.
"I have not been home since the
first of the year and have no idea
how far reaching the revolt It," said
Mr. Broussard. "My information Is
faulty because I was not consulted
by those who made the anti-democratic
demonstration at home yester
day, but I can tell you who the men
are who have left our party so
summarily.
"Mr. Price is a brother of my

committee for twenty- five years.

Broussard is my youngest brother.
Mr. Marks has for sixteen years N
been a state senator and a member
of the democratic state committee.
Mr. Pi ice and Mr. Marks have quit
thu state committee as well as the
district committee. Mr. LeBlane is
