SPLENDID
OVATION
Paris, July 28. Mine. Henrietta
Caillaux, who killed Editor Gaston Cal
mette of "Le Figaro," was acquitted
here today on a murder charge.
rrosecutor Herbaux admitted in his
closing argument that there-were ex
tenuating circumstances in the pri
soner's favot in connection with the
ease.
Mme. Cailluux received a tremendous
ovation when the verdict was announc
ed. Political exponents of her hus
band attempted a counter demonstra
tion outside the palace of justice and
there were numerous fights. The po
lice had hard work to prevent a veri
table rioti
Calmette was the bitter political en
emy of Mme. Caillaux's husband, Jo
Soph Caillaux, once premier of France
and at the time of the tragedy minis
ter of finance in the Doumergue cabi
net. He had been waging a fierce news
paper campaign against the minister
and as its climax published a love let
ter which Caillaux wrote to his wife
prior to their marriage and at a time
when he had a previous wife and she
a first husband living and undivorced.
A few days later, March 18, Mme,
Caillaux called at the editor's office,
asked to see him and, when admitted
allot him several times with an auto
matic pistol she carried hidden in her
muff, wounding him so seriously that
be died a few hours later.
The Trial Was Political.
Caillaux and his wife contended that
Calmette had still more of their love
letters which he intended to publish
and that Mme. Caillaux killed him to
prevent him from doing so. The prose
cution maintained that the original let
ter was not fully published and that
only those portions of it were put in
print which related to political mat
ters and were of corresponding inter
est to the public. It was denied that
Calmette had aay more letters and the
assertion was made that what Caillaux
really knew was that the editor had
still more damaging political informa
tion concerning him and inspired his
wife to assassinate him as a means of
stopping his mouth.
The trial was a political rather than
a criminal affair from the first, excit
ed the bitterest feelings en both sides
and unquestionably will result in sev
eral duels among those connected with
the case.
No one at any time thought the
death penalty would be meted out to
Mme. Caillaux, but it was considered
possible she would get a term of im
prisonment or perhaps a suspended sen
tence. Her story was that she did not in
tend to kill the editor, but went to
ask bim to return her letters, taking
the pistol with her for her own pro
tection, and fired in blind and unrea-
war scare did not diminish interest In
the case.
Prosecutor Herbaux and Attorneys
Chenu and Setigman, representing the
Calmette family, were expected to fin
ish their arguments today. Following
them Attorney Labori, Mme. Caillaux's
(defender, was scheduled for the wind-
up speech.
Could Not Stand the Boast.
Paris, July 28. Mme. Henrictte Cail
laux fainted again today during the de
nunciation of her by Attorney Chenu,
representing the family of Editor Gas
ton Calmette of "Le Figaro," for
whose killing she was on trial.
She was carried from the court room
and a recess was taken.
The incident was attended by a ter
rific commotion among' the spectators
and semi-riotous scenes outside the pal1
ace of justice.
"The defendant went to the office
of 'Le Fiearo'." thundered Chenu,
"with a single purpose. 'The pistol
she had purchased lay naked in her
muff when she entered Calmette s of-
fice. She went there determined to
kill him."
It was at this point that Mme. Call
laux collapsed.

May Kill Ulsters dunces.
Irish members of parliament here in
clined to be moderate in their attitude
toward ' the British government but
they were vitriolic in their denuncia
tion of the authorities in Ireland.
Viceroy Lord Aberdeen, they de
clared, is surrounded by enemios of
home rule, who are doing everything
in their power to create sue a, a. situa
tion as will kill the chances of the
pending measure of the. creation, of in
Irish parliament.
Though it was originally directed
against the Ulstermen, John Redmond,
the Irish parliamentary louder, was
insisting that the . government's em
bargo on the importation of arms into
Ireland be raised. The orangemon's
plans for forcible resistance of home
rule, his followers maintained, showed
that those who would have to enforce
the law needed weapons to do so.
One thing the Dublin incident ap
peareu definitely to have accom
plished, was the destruction of Ulster's
chance for exemption from the oper
ation of the home rule bill. The Irish
were so exasperated by the killings
Sunday that they swore tney would
concede nothing to the Orangemen. The
labor members of )parliameit unan
imously supported them In thU and
many members of the liberal party also
endorsed their attitude.
Premier Asquith was so thoroughly
convinced that on this point the home
rulers meant what tbey said that be
announced the indefinite postponement
of consideration of the bill to have
been taken up today for amending the
homo rule measure so as to exclude the
Ulster counties.

Austrian ships controlled the Danube.
Three Servian Danube steamers were
seized by the Austrians.
Reports were current that Austrians
had occupied Belgrade, Servia 's capi
tal, and invaded the enemy's country
at Mltrovitza.
Before declaring war, Austria told
England, which had asked a suspension ;
of hostilities pending mediation er
f orts, that it could not consider media
tion but was friendly to efforts to lo-
callse the conflict
Reports that Russia, Bervia's friend,
had declared war on Austria were dis
credited everywhere.
The czar was said, however, to be
personally determined to protect Ser
via. Rumors were current of a partial or ,
complete Russian army ' mobilization
and concentration of troops on the
frontier.
Russian Foreign Minister Saxonoff .
was trying to arrange matters for Ser-
via to satisfy Austria without losing its
sovereignity.
Germany was said to hope the war .
