INVITES RIDICULE

New Secretary-General
at the Palace.
BY LA MAUO.I i?E DC FOXTENOY.

M Collignon. former Prefect or
Governor jf th< Department of
th? Finist. rre. to IBM poat of
secretary-general at the Blysee Palace,
in succession to the late fej Rimondou.
who died so very suddenly th< other
day. invites ridicule.
Not but what. M. Coilignin. who :s
a ta.ll haii'ltsrm.e, stately looking man
f>f nft.' -fi'e. is very capable and that*
oughly qualified to fill this post, which
<<iuals if it does net s.irpa?s in impor?
tance that of private a* r-tary to the
President of the t utted .states
but it :.? the name of "Coli.gnon"
w hich is against the man. For it la
tie generic and popular aickaans? of,
the Parisian i stman, ? Specially of the
?iisrepmabie t.ighthawk. ind warn any-J
one wishes to gat even with a nack- ;
man for overcharging, or merely to'
??t a rise out of him. he has only to
apply to him the epithel of "CaUlgaea.**I
wmrh causes him to positively foam1
at the niouth with fury
Collignon, i should say by way of 1
explanation, .? th? name of a cabman'
who, during the nijn of Vapslson III., |
wa* guillotined for robbing and mur- j
dr-rlnK an extraordinarily large njm-'
ber of his fa.-is in the deserted by-i
streets of the city, and in the dark'
side avenues of the Bol.s de Boulogne.
Kince then Ms name has a.ways been
considered a? th- greatest term of j
opprobium which can be applied to an:>'j
Paris hackman.
The vehicles which they drive are j
known as riacrcs. which are gradually j
being sapetaeded by the tixicab. and
the more complimentary manner of'
designating the hackmen is to deecribe
them as Knights of the Order of Saint
Fiacre. The latter is Uteir Patron
.-uint. He ia a canonized Scottish
prince, and the connection between the
rskilrlstars and this scion of Caledonian
Royalty, who lies buried in the Cathe- ;
dral of Meaux. ia owing to the fact
that when hackney carriages were in?
troduced at Paris, in 165 >. the stables
and offices of the enterprising company
owning the concern were in a building
In the Rue St. Martin, which, having
been previously used as a hospital, was
decorated with a gigantic mural paint?
ing of St. Fiacre. It is due to this
that ever since all Parisian cabs are
styled fiacres.
President Fallieres and his partic?
ular Collignon are no strangers, for
the latter was his private secretary
when he, Fallieres, was Prime Minis?
ter in 1883. and he served Premiers
Waldeck-Rouaseau and Gobelet in a
similar capacity.
President Fallieres. by the by. has
rented an apartment In the Rue Fran
cols I., to which he will move on the
completion of hia term of office as
president on February 17. having al?
ready announced that under no cir?
cumstances would he accept re-election
The apartment consists of five bed?
rooms, two drawing-rooms and a large
dining-room, is situated on the first
floor, and will cost M. Fallieres about
$2.500 a year in rent. Ex-President
Loubet lives on the other side of the
Betas; and no royal or Imperial per?
sonage ever visits Paris without mak
lag a point of calling upon him there.
Apropos of royal visits to Paris,
President Fallieres is once again the
subject of no end of popular criticism
and abuse, owing to the shabby char?
acter of %he equipages used at the
state reception of the Russian Grand
duke Nicholas Xicholatevitch and his
suite in pans the other day. The car?
riage in which the grandduke himself
drove through the streets of Paris on
his arrival was only passable. But
the vehicles which followed, contain?
ing General Baron Kaulbars. and all
the other Russian dignitaries, dated
from the time of she ?ocond Empire,
and excited the derision and ridicule
of the crowd lining the streets to
watch the procession pass. Even the
most sturdy Republicans are agreed
that no Chief Magistrate of France
since the inauguration of the preaent
republic, forty-two years ago. haa ever
done things so manifestly on the cheap
as the preaent Incumbent of the office.
Emperor William, on leaving Swit?
zerland, not only presented large
bronze busts of himself to acting Pres?
ident Forrer. and to M_ Hoffman, the
member of the Federal Council at the
head of the Helvetian War Department
but likewise bestowed decorations ana
Orders of Knighthood upon the prin?
cipal officers of the Swiss army, and
jeweled scarf-pins, rings and sleeve
links, in addition thereto, upon those
who had been assigned to his immedi?
ate service during the three day's stay
on Swiss territory.
Xow Article XII. of the Swiss Con?
stitution runs as follows: "No members
of the departments of the Federal gov?
ernment, civil and military officials of
the Confederation, or Federal repre?
sentatives or commissioners, shall re
reive from any foreign government any
pension, salary, title, gift or decora?
tion. If such persons are already In
the possession of pensions, titles or
decorations, they must renounce the en?
joyment of their pensions and the bear,
ing of their titles and decorations dar?
ing their continuance in office. No
decoration or title conferred by a for?
eign government shall be worn in the
Federal army. No officer, non-commis?
sioned officer, or soldier, shall accept
such a distinction.'*
The Swiss law is. therefore, very
explicit, and as it forms part and par
cel of the Constitution, it cannot be
altered, save by means of an amend?
ment of the latter, which requires the
consent of every one of the Cantons
or autonomous States comprised In the
Cenferedation known aa the Swiss Re?
public
Consequent!*" the recipients of the
gifts of the Emperer. from the presi?
dent and his fellow co-eqaal members
of the Federal Council, down to the
privates who did sentry daty at the
gates of the Rieter Villa at Zurich,
where the Kaiser made his headquar?
ters, will be obliged either to return
the gifts of ose kind and another
which they have received from him or

various contributors. The witness did!
I not know who destroyed them,
j The witness could not remember j
. having talked with his father about
j the much-diacussed 1100,000 Standard
Oil Company contribution.
Mr. Bliss said he. since his father's;
I death, had destroyed a great many of
. the papers left by the elder Bliss
j "I know of nothing that I destroy-'
ed that could in any way aasiat this'
committee." he declared emphatically. I
A vigorous cross-examination by
(Senator Pomerene failed to shake his,
statement. |
Mr. Bliss then was excused, and W11-.

Chairman Clapp asked Mr. Ubby ltj
he had anything to do with advising;

"Only aa to tariff matters, when ltj
' was threatened to exempt the Standard j

tariff." replied Mr. Ubby.
"The campaign of 1908 foreshadowed i

"Nothing that I know of in the way
I of contributions." said Mr. Ubby. "1
j was Informed by H. H. Rogers that tni
1904 the Standard Oil Company made a
very large contribution to the Repub
; lican national campaign fund." He
j added he knew nothing personally
! about it. He bad not been told the
j amount, he said. when, by whom or to
I whom it was made. He knew of no'
contribution other than that he hesrd
mentioned by Mr. Rogers.
"Did you see any members of Con?
gress on the tariff matter?*' asked
j Senator Pomerene.
Mr. Llbby could not remember what
public officials he had talked with, but
thought he probably had discussed it
with President Taft and officials of
the State Department. He said he
would produce any letters written In
that connection if be could find them
"Did any of these letters concern
i campaign contributions?" asked Sena?
tor Pomerene.
"No."
This concluded Mr. Llbby's testimony
and he was excused.
