PARIS. Aug. 21-New York World Ca
blegramSpecial Telegram.) Mme. Hum
bert cloned the sensational safe fraud trials
today with her promised explanation which,
however, did not Influence the Jury suf
ficiently to save her from conviction and
a five-year sentence.
After all the arguments were in the Judge
gave the Jury 260 questions to answer, and
after consideration a verdict of guilty was
returned against all the prisoners.
The court sentenced Mme. Humbert and
her husband each to five years' Imprison
ment and to 100 francs fine. Emlle
d'Aurignsc wss sentenced to two years' Im
prisonment and Romain d'Auiignac to three
years' imprisonment.
Mme. and M. Humbert will undergo soli
tary confinement during their term of Im
prisonment.
Says Regaler Was Crawford.
In the course of her speech in
court today Mme. Theresa Hum
bert announced that the real name of Craw
ford was Regnler, who was the Intermedi
ary between Prince Bismarck and Marshal
Basalne at the time of the surrender, after
the Franco-Prussian war.
The expectation that today would bring
the conclusion of the Humbert trial re
newed the intense public interest In the
case. The court room was again crowch-d.
Among the throng were a number of Ameri
can lawyers and tourists, who secured fa
vored places through the efforts of the
United States embassy.
The prisoners maintained the same out
ward aspect of calm. Mme. Humbert
walked in haughtily and surveyed the
crowd with scornful air. Dr. Floquet, who
examined the prisoner before she came into
court, found her to be In good health and
showing no signs of a nervous breakdown
under the strains of the culmination of the
trial.
Hints at Mystertoas Letters.
Advocate Hesse addressed the court at
length in the defense of Rornalne Daurlg
nac. pointing out . his brotherly devotion
throughout the trials to his slater, Mme.
Humbert.
Counsel severetTrltlOTSTJTSe declaration
of M. Pateootre, the former French am
bassador at Madrid, that he did not know
Mme. Humbert and invited the Jury to re
quest ths presiding judge to give them cer
tain private letters, in one of which M.
Hesse -asserted that Patenotre thanked
Mme. Humbert for adornments which she
had sent him tor hla saloon. ,
Makes a Revelatloa.
Then Mme. Humbert began formally:
Gentlemen of the Jury: When I wanted
the addresa of Mr. Crawford, he answered:
"You cannot know me. I am not called
Crawford. I am not known by that name."
"Then, .what name?"
He replied: "My fortune was made dur
ing the war of 1870, by reinvestment of
rentes, whlcn were men very low, ana s
large quantity was bought here."
Mme. Humbert paused again, length
ily, and then continued:
His name Is Rernler, the Intermediary
between Marshal Basalne and the Ger
mans. . I had already transacted business
with one Regnler, who appeared to me to
be a mysterious personage, and he said to
Die: He carerui, mucin me, not 10 con ruse
me with the notorious Regnler."
That Is how l suddenly learned craw-
fnrii'a name. I never told my husband. I
swear on my daughter's head. This is the
first time be hears tns name.
Madame Humbert continued making a
rambling. Indefinite statement, criticising
M. Valle, the minister of Justice, la con
nection with the Cuttausla. asserting ber
truthfulness and declaring that when ac
quitted her creditors would be able to find
her. She would do her duty, she said, and
If any one offered her money she would
show him the door.
She concluded:
I have full, complete confidence and I
will await my fate.
A movement among the spectators fol
lowed the statement, which caused a gen
eral feeling of disappointment, owing to
the inconclusive nature of Mme. Hum-
Bert's declarations.
Malt re Labor!, addressing the Jury, ssld
Now you have the secret of Mme. Hum
bert. She has told you the same that ahs
haa me.
Maltre Laborl said ha had been unable
to learn what eventually became of Reg
nler. After being condemned to death by
court-martial ' Regnler dlsappeased. Tha
minister of war ahould be able to furnish
Information aa to what became of him.
Counsel concluded with an eloquent plea
to the Jury not to condemn the prisoners
which aroused loud applause. The presi
dent of the court then declared the argu
ments closed and read the 160 questions
submitted to the Jury.
Outside the court room the public every
where awaited the verdict and discussed,
the prospects.
The Jury retired at 1:30 p. m. and the
prisoners withdrew. M. Humbert and
Emlle Daurignao looked greatly depressed,
while Mme. Humbert and Romain Dauiig
nac maintained their defiant attitude.
Regnler Presalaeat Flee re.
Mme. Humbert's mention, of Regnier In
troduced an entirely unexpected name, one
which had been almost entirely forgotten,
although It waa that of a notorious figure
In the latter days of the Franco-Prussian
war. The Liberte printed this sketch of
the man:
Regnler was first heard of in connection
with the revolution of VMA. in which he
played a double part .In September. 1S.0,
the Empress Eugenie, then at Hastings,
England, entrusted hint with a mission to
Prince Blmrck. Regnier later went to
Mela, Introduced himself to Marshal Ba
suine and toid him tbe war should have
ended after the battle of Hedan and that
his army, which was useless at Metz,
ought til maintain rider in the interior.
Buxalne thereupon at cepted the Idea of
treating with the German.
Regnier's object waa simply to Induce
Bauine to capitulate and It Is well known
that Basaine acquiesced to the capitulation
without raiolng any tiltficuUiee. The sur

OBJECTS TO DRINKING SONGS

(Copyright, 1803, by Press Publishing Co.)
BERLIN, Aug. 22-(New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram.) Otto von
Lelxner, one of the foremost social reform
ers of Germany, has issued an Impassioned
appeal which he entitles "The Muse as the
Handmaid of Alcohol," against the habit
of poetic glorification of habitual drinking,
He says:
"It Is terrible that the most eminent poets
of Germany should debase their muse to
the service of people who are committing
either slow or rapid suicide by their drink
ing customs. Drinking songs, with their
imagination, their public house wit, their
easy rhymes, are made peculiarly attractive
for young people and these songs are set
to music by the best composers. These
songs glorify Intemperance, moderate drink
ing Is ridiculed and total abstinence held
up to scorn. These songs ars sung by
school boys over their first glass of beer
and Incite thera to further potations.
When these boys arrive at the universities
their ambition is to become topers. These
songs, to which no sufficient attention has
yet been directed, have contributed as much
aa anything else to vitiate and destroy the
youth of the country, to raise a false stand
ard of honor, and are accountable for much
In the national behavior which brings upon
Germans the contempt anqV- cidioato of
foreigners."
Dr. von Lelxner proposes to form an antl-
drinktng song league.

there waa rellgloua ceremony at the mar
riage of Camilla Pelletan, the French mln

civil ceremony was at the Malrle of the

The newspapers commont adversely on
the fact that Minister Pelletan is going; to
take his honeymoon trip on a government
cruiser, under the pretense that he wishes
to Inspect It. An opposition paper suggests
that it would be the best thing for France
if the minister took a submarine boat, as
It would have to go down and might never
come up.
Pelletan is SS years old and the bride is
S3. The bride's father, a sheriff, served
papers on M. Pelletan, when the latter was
in financial difficulties. They became friends
and later the sheriff asked the minister to

making the last effort of his life, turned
slightly toward his favorite daughter, Ijidy
Gwendoline Cecil, who was kneeling besida
him, and then quietly breathed his last.
Lord Edward Cecil had been warned
arly this afternoon by telegraph that the
end was near. All the other members of
hla lordship's family had gathered at the
bedside.
Dr. Douglas Powell, who had attended
Lord Salisbury, was notified by telegraph
this morning that It was useless for him
to come, and he was therefore absent at
the end.
Villagers Receive Xewe.
The village of Hatfield, which still re-
tains many features of the feudal period,
waa filled with anxious residents awaiting
the news of his lordship's demise. The
great Hatfield House, hidden behind Its
screen of pine trees, was lighted at every
window and gave no sign of the approach
ing fatality. Groups of watchers clustered
under the Elliabethah arches of the lodge
gates, anxiously questioning each latest
passer from Hatfield House.
Finally the news came when a hatless
ervant dashed down the graveled roadway.

then disappeared In the church. Soon after
the bell from the tower above tolled slowly
and the villagers at the street corners un
covered In acknowledgment of the passing
of the neighbor and friend.
Viscount C ran borne, who now assumes
the title of Marquis of Salisbury, immedi
ately notified King Edward and Queen
Alexandra, the prince and princess of
Wales and others, including Lord Edward
Cecil, the soldier son. of Lord Ballabury,
who is now in Egypt, and who was the
only child of the marquis absent from
the deathbed. Boon messages of condolence
began coming in and the little telegraph
office at Hatfield was swamped with un
precedented business.
The death of Lord Salisbury occurred on
the fiftieth anniversary of his entry Into
public life as member of the House of
Commons for Stafford.
The elevation of Lord Salisbury Cran
borne to the House of Lords creates a va

district and Vlll probably entail the selec

the Cinque ports, high steward of West
minster and chancellor of Oxford unlver
sity.
His death places an order of Knlget of
the Garter at the disposal of King Edward.
Sketch of Career.
Robert Arthur Talbot Cecil, marquis of
Salisbury, was born at Hatfield. .the family
manor, February 10, 1130. His early educa
tion was had at Eton end finished at Ox
ford, where he became a fellow of All
Soultr college. In 1SS1 tha future marquis
married a Miss Anderson, daughter of a
barrister, who rose to be a Judge. The
connection was most unwelcome to tha
noble family into which she entered, for a
barrister in England belongs to the middle
class, and for years the future premier
waa under tha ban of his father. His al
lowance was unbefitting his birth, though
the BaUshury fortune la enormous, and as
children came the impecunious pair were
obliged to eke out a support by writing for
the magazines and newspapers, a means at
that time not regarded as dignified for
aristocrats. They lived and dressed very
plainly, and when they had a holiday trav
eled second or third class with their chll
dren, like tbe great mass from whom they
could hardly be distinguished.
But they both had brains and a determi
nation which enabled them to bear up
under 111 fortune not deservad. Meanwhile
Lord Robert was elected to Parliament, for
the son of a marquis, even though in dis
favor with bis father, can generally be
pushed in England; but his temper was not
good and bis manner not popular. Ha
made no great mark except as a rugged,
cantankerous young man, possessed of
some ability, but soured by circumstances.
Death Comee as Godsend.
In :S6&, as ha was rising to make a speech
in the House of Commons, he was suddenly
summoned to the door and informed that
his elder brother had Just died. This event
made Mm Viscount Cranborne and heir to
the title and, estates of the marquis of
Salisbury. His own fata and that of his
family were changed In an instant. From
obscurity and poverty they stepped into
ease and Importance, while high fortune
and positive grandeur stood waiting for
them in tbe immediate future. The old Lord
Salisbury was soon reconciled to his new
heir, and three years afterward hs died,
leaving the literary hack and once dis
inherited son owner of one of England's
greatest houses and bearer of one of her
greatest names.
As soon as he became Lord Cranborne
the young politician was recognised by the
tory leaders, and In Use was invited to
enter Lord Derby's cabinet. In a year,
however, Disraeli, who was in reality ths
leading spirit In that cabinet, introduced
a measure for extended suffrage, which
consistent torles refused to support. Among
the recusants waa Lord Cranborne, who,
with two of his allies, left the cabinet
rather than consent to ths democratic in
novation. The rupture was personal ss
well as political, and Iord Cranborne did
not speak to his former chief for years.
About this time Lord Salisbury's step
mother remarried. She had been fur twenty

twelve to fifteen -knot breese, over a wind
ward and leeward course of thirty miles.
Reliance today beat Shamrock HI by eight
minutes thirty-six seconds actual time, or
seven minutes thirty-nine seconds after de
ducting the one minute fifty-seven second sy
time allowance which the defender con
ceded to Sir Thomas Lipton's third chal
lenger on account of Reliance's sail area
as at present measured.
It waa a royal water fight for the ancient
trophy, which carries with it the yachting
supremacy of the world. By a strange co
incidence, the first victory In the cup series
of 1903 occurred on the fifty-second anni
versary of the day on which America won
Its famous victory round the Isle of Wight,
Reliance beat the British boat three min
utes twenty-four seconds in the thresh to
windward, and five minutes thirty-six sec.
onds in the run down the wind.
First Race Conclusive.
The nautical sharps, who hsd already
made up their minds on Thursday that Re
liance could take the measure of the chal
lenger in any kind of weather, regard to
day's test as conclusive, although they
hardly anticipated so overwhelming a vic
tory. The race even dampened the ardor
of Sir Thomas, who Insisted, after Thurs
day's fluke, that his yacht was greater
than ever. Still like a true sportsman, he
does not acknowledge defeat and hopes for
better luck next time.
The single criticism his friends make of
today's race is that tha only shift of thb
wind which occurred waa to the advantage
of the defending yacht. Aa thla shift oc
curred On the windward beat, even grant
ing that It accounted for Reliance's lend
at the turn, the time the defender gained
on. the home run was more than ample to
give It the race. It must be conceded, how
ever, that Shamrock showed Itself a won
derful boat In beating to windward, per
haps the best craft in thla respect ever
sent across the western ocesn on a cup
hunting expedition.
For twelve miles the great single stlcke.s
raced like a team of horses and during that
portion of the duel the patriots made no
attempt to conceal '.heir pervousnees.'-
' "The racing 'conditions Wday were ideal!
A thin hate hung over the Jersey chore
obstructing the view, but out on the course
the sea was flooded with sunshine from a
vault of feckless blue. A long ' ocean
swell heaved up from the south and a
twelve-knot breese, fresh and strengthen
ing, blew out of the southwest, throwing
up fleeting whitecaps on tha suarklln.;
ocean. The picture was superb. The size
of the enormous excursion fleet and the
number of slghtreers aboard. In the es
timation cf those who have witnessed
many contests, made a record for an In
ternational cup race.
Mark Carried Oat to lea.
As the direction of the wind would have
carried a windward course from Sandy
Hook lightship Into the Jersey shore, the
committee was obliged to set the mark
seven miles further out This delayed the) '
start about forty-five minutes and pre
vented the usual massing of the exour.
slon fleet in the form of a great marine
amphitheatre behind the starting line. In
stead, kept back by the revenue cutters,
they formed a column of hulls and stacks
extending three miles toward the Jersey
shore, the yachts around the line com
pleting the shape of a fishhook.
The course, southwest, carried directly
Into the eye of the wind, to a point off
Anbury Park.
The honors of the start, as on Thursdsy,
were tsken by the American skipper. Cap
tain Wrings timed his approach to the Hue
badly and in an effort to keep oft until
the gun boomed almost lost his bowsprit
as he luffed up to cross. Barr, as usual,
went over in the windward berth, four
seconds behind his rival. Both were close
hauled on the starboard tack. It was a
magnificent sight as they plunged seaward.
The first few minutes were watched with
intense interest. Both were foptlng fast.
They showed yards of their underbodles
and shipped a good deal of spray and some
solid water forward. But after fifteen
minutes their positions had not varied per
ceptibly and there was alarm among the
experts. Those who had expected to see
Peltance walk away from Its adversary
as a result of last Thursday's showing
were disappointed. Bhamrock hung on and
in tack after tack seemed to be holding Its
own.
For thirteen miles challenger and chal
lenged fought out ths magnificent duel,
sailing between two lanes of excursion
boats as free from interference as If they
had been in the middle of the Atlantic. AH
the time tha wind waa freshening and the ,
white caps were topping the waves.
Wind Shifts with Hellaace Ahead.
The critical point in the race came at
12:40. a little less than two hours after the
start. The mark was less than two miles
away and the relative positions of the
boats were about tha same. Both were on
the starboard tack. Reliance ahead, but
to leeward. Suddenly the wind dropped
arid hauled a trifle to the west. The shift
enabled the yachts to head up for tha mark
with Reliance In the lead by about 200
yards. This waa the only thing which
marred an otherwise truly sailed race. But
from that time on Reliance steadily In
creased Its lead In windward work until it
was three-quarters of a mils ahead. As
it rounded the outer mark, the whistles,
sirens, bands and the voices of the un
numbered thousands on the excursion fleet
swelled into a vast chorus.
Turning for horns, lis spinnaker boom,
poised along the mast like a lance ia rest,
fell to port and the big sail burst oit Ilka
a cloud, while at the same moment lis
enormous balloon Jib topsail bellied out
forward. The smart work was cheered
by the crowds, but a moment afterwards
there was a cry of dismay when the guy
that held the spinnaker parted. The
enormous sail soared aloft and tumbled
over the Jib top sails stay, collapsing like
aa empty meal sack. But the spar was
