THE COURIER I? Ic r- u 10 Mmes Humbert's right to open the safe and take possession of Its contents. The greatest lawyers of France wore engaged, the counsel Including Waldeck-Rosseau, the French prime min ister, who appeared for the creditor of the Humberts, and Du Bult, a dis tinguished leader of the French bar, for a generation, who appeared for thf Humberts and was their devoted champion. The Humberts all those years seemed to have no end of powerful friends who believed their story Implicitly. Owing to the high legal position of the father of Therese's husband, eminent lawyers and Judges were for years the delight ed guests of the couple at social func tions. It was Waldeck-Rosseau, how ever, acting in the Interest of a cred itor of the couple, who Anally forced a settlement of the case and secured a peremptory order from the courts to have the safe deposit box finally opened so that Its contents might be examined. Mr. Du Bult, coun sel for the Humberts, and concededly an honest man, welcomed this act as an opportunity for a glorious vindi cation of his clients, whose honor had begun to be suspected after their twen ty years' contest with the two Craw fords. But Waldeck-Rosseau had dis covered that no one except Mme. Hum bert had ever seen the nephews, and that no trace of their existence could be found In America. It was time something was done, for many ruined creditors had committed suicide. On the Wednesday of this month before the safe was opened, Mme. Humbert appeared. In the full blaze of her dia monds, at the opera. In the box which cost her $6,000 a year. On Friday, the 9th the safe was opened. A descrip tion of the scene that followed shows how dramatic it was. The witnesses pressed forward. The box contained a few bonds worth $1,000, a copper coin, an empty jewel case and a brass but ton. "I am a ruined man," cried out a. creditor. A deadly pallor swept over the face, of M. Du Bult, the distin guished counsel for the Humberts, and he sank into a chair. Within an hour it was known that the Humberts had fled from the country. The whole Crawford story Tvas a Ac tion. There had been no American millionaire traveling In southern France, and no money had ever been left to Therese Daurlgnac.

SENATOR ALDRICH. SENATOR HANNA. The settlement of the question of Cuban reciprocity by the United States senate is awaited with great in terest by the whole country. Senator Stephen B. Elkins, of West Virginia, is the leader of a formidable band of senators who are determined to check the efforts of the administration senators to carry out President Roosevelt's cherished scheme regarding our tariff relations with the new republic. Among his powerful allies are Senators Wel lington and Jones. Senator Aldrich is the president's mouthpiece on-the reciprocity question in the senate, and' is prepared to make a hard Aght to push through the bill which President Roosevelt and himself have so much at heart. His efforts will be warmly seconded by Senator Hanna. band, the son of the minister of justice, on the strength of It. How far he was deceived in the preceding years does not appear. But Therese from the be ginning to the end was the brains of what Waldeck-Rosseau had called "the greatest swindle of the century." She Invented the Crawford nephews, and by clever forgeries and conspiracies with a few scoundrelly accomplices, kept agoing for twenty years In the French courts a law suit over a for tune that never existed. M. Du Bult, who occupied the highest place at the French bar, has ruined his career from having been her dupe. Ten creditois of the woman have committed suicide, and $10,000,000 has been the extent or her actual plundering from the Freneh bankers and business men. & One morning a loyal Irishman was at work near the top of a telephone pole, painting it a bright green, whn the pot of paint slipped and splashej on the sidewalk. A few minutes later an other Irishman came along. He looked at the paint, then at his countrymen, and inquired with anxiety in his tone. "Doherty.. Sohtily, hov ye had a hlTi-orrhage?"
