According to French ideas the drag ging of such a subject as a politician's relations with a woman into a political controversy as was done by Calmette in publishing Caillaux letter to his wife, written prior to their marriage and at a time when he had a wife aud she a husband living and undivorced, is so! heinous an offense that it was deemed quite possible a 'jury would consider Mme. Caillaux justified in shooting him. - , ... , Prosecution Fears Sentiment. ' The prosecution's plan plainly was to make It appear that the fear of the publication of more of these letters was not what led to the shooting, however, but that Caillaux, afraid Calmette would make public the political docu ment, exposing his transactions with Germany really inspired him to incite his wife, to assassinate the editor. News Editor Louis Latzarus of "Le Figaro," on the witness stand late yes terday, referred outspokenly to this document, relating to what was known as "the Agadir incident," asserting that Calmette actually showed it to him, though he said the eidtor told him he did not intend to use it, as it might make trouble for France. Caillaux promptly demanded thai Latzarus tell what the document con tained.

HELPING MUCH. mi I w v tr 1 4 ULSTER MAY PROYE ASQumrs UNDOING The Premier Has Gotten Himself In a Position That Whatever Happens He Is Certain to Lose, London, July 22. Tho conviction was growing here today that the As quith administration is very near its end. The Irish home rule situation look ed extremely unpromising. The con ference of party leaders called by King George appeared, if anything, to have made things worse instead of better. Premier Asquith was suspected by the Irish labor members of parliament and also by some of his own followers, the liberals, of a disposition to yield so much to tho conservatives in the way of compromise as practically to nullify the homo rule bill, K this guess proved to be correct, it vns freely predicted, even among literals, that he would bo unnblo to In. Id his own parliamentary majority together. On the other hand, if ho "stood pat," there was every prospect of an uprising In I'lster such as must over turn his government. Tho general opinion among politi cians today was that tho conservatives hnvo never intended to make conces sions which the home rulers would ac cept but that they have been sparring, all along, for an opening which would enable, them to force a national elec tion, The Premier May Weaken. The view was expressed that tho one hope for tho Irish was the jamming of tho bill Through in the face of all risks, in which case, whatever might happen in I'lster .and no matter how soon aft erward, the liberals wero driven out of office, Ireland would nevertheless hnvo home rule, n thing which, once in their possession, the conservatives, even if they should succeed the lihernls in control of the government, would hard ly dnro to take away again. The keenest apprehension, however, was that tho premier, fearful of civil war, would weaken. In entering into a secret conference with the bill's enemies, concerning a question of national legislation, which many of his own followers declared ought to have been fought out public ly on the floor of tho house, there was no question that he had, at least tem porarily, lost much prestige. Furthermore, there were among tho lawmakers some bold enough to assert thnt Kisg George, who has never boon considered a home rule advocate or a friend of tho liberals, though of course he litis never said so, hud just this in mind when he arranged the conference. The King Angers Them. London, July 22. With political feel ing growing tenser almost hourly, an other hour and a half's session of the conference concerning Irish home rule was held by tho leaders of the oppos ing parties nt Buckingham pulacu to day. When it adjourned until Thursday it could not be learned that any material progress had been mnde. One thing was very evident the home rulers' anger nt King Georgo's remark, in receiving the conferees at the pnluce Tuesday to the effect that "the cry of civil wnr is on the lips of the most responsible and sober mind ed of my people." "The cry of civil war" having been irequently on the lips of the "nntis" and never on thut of the home rulers, who have contended that such talk was more bombast, the expression was taken in home rule circles as a tolerably open declaration of royal support for the "antis." The Chronicle, the chief liberal or gan, in its today's edition plainly warned the king not to mix in the country's pjliticul controversies, ARE HAVING A GREAT OUTING IN MOUNTAINS I). A.

A few niuhts ago the camp was aroused from sleep by a mighty racket that came from their tent kitchen a few yards down the hill. Leaping from their beds, White armed with a rifle and Btirres with a candle, they made a sudden chargo on the kitchen and routed a wildcat that had been raising havoc with tho cooking utensils in search of food. They failed to hit the fleeing wildest, but the excitement was worth the extra exertion, especially to the onlookers, who were sorry they did not have a moving picture outfit so they could record the movements for tho benefit of their friends in Sulem, PRIZES IL Salem Bcsiness Men Vie With Each Other in Providing Suitable Prizes WINNERS MAY GET TO SEE EXPOSITION Their Exhibits Will Be Sent to State Fair Which Gives Them This Chance The third annual school children's in dustrial fair will be held in Halem, Hepteinbor 25, at the armory.
