cial interests.
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. Latzarus refused for the same
reason, he said, that Calmette cave!

of foreign affairs, where it was at the
time. -Under the circumstances, ho ask

TO ORGANIZE THE
TENNIS PLAYERS
The executive committee of the Y.
m, c. A. met last night to consider the
proposition of organizing tho tennis
enthusiasts into an association and to
place the handling of the new- asphalt
courts upon a business-like basis. The
committee instructed the tennis men to
organize the Salem Tennis association,
to elect their officers, draw up a con
stitution and by-laws and to get out
and boost for the organization.
The tennis prooters were told
that if they would organize a strong
organization in this city that the
courts would be placed at their dis
posal as long as they wanted them. It
was agreed that the courts should be
reserved for the use of the members
of the association after 4 p. m. each
day and on holdiays and Saturduy aft
ernoons. The rest of tho time the
courts were to be open to tho public.
A fee of $2.50 was to be charged for
a membership in the association. The

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,

by express from his son, H. (. White,
who was recently elected scho d iliree-

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
