After the sitting of the Chamber of tepu

onds to Under Secretary Sarraut. It ws
decided to fight Immediately with swords,
and principals and seconds proceeded by
automobiles to the Vllle d'Auray, where
the combat occurred on the property of
Deputy Kdmonde Gaat. The fight was shor.
but desperate, lasting only thirty seconds.
Sarraut made quick onslaught and blood
soon flowed. At first It wjs thought that
Pugliesl-Contl was wounded, but Sarraut
cried, "I am hit," and theu fainted, ex
pectorating blood. He was conveyed to
IS. Qasfs residence. The doctors who ex
amined him found a deep wound In the

surgeons consider , the wound serious, but
not necessarily endangering his life.

Talk ot Reprisals.
The radical supporters of Dreyfus are
seeking to force the government to prose
cute the many generals, colonel and high
functionarlea responsible for his condemna
tion. The amnesty law protects them, but
a movement is on foot to repeal this law
for the purpose of reaching Generals Mer
cler and Gonse, Colonel Du Paty de Clam
and others who were prominent in the
prosecution of Dreyfus.
The government newspapers declare thit
the affair is closed, but others, notably the
Figaro and Echo de Paris, assert thru
fierce reprisals ara about to begin. The
Flgsro, however, appeals to those who were
prominent In obtaining a revision of Drey
fus' trial not to attempt to obtain ven
geance. The Eclairs asserts that the acquittal of
Dreyfus means that politicians hav seised
the Judiciary.
The prevailing tone of the press testifies
to the scrupulous integrity of the court

Last Remaining Member Dismissed
for Disloyalty to the Ad
ministration. SAN FRANCISCO, July 13 Thomas F.
Reagan, the last renmlntng member of the
police commission, was today dimissed by
Mayor Schmltz. The mayor gave a number
ot reasons for the dismlxsal of Keagan,
such as disloyalty to the administration
and an Irreconcilable conflict between pri
vate business and obligation to public life.
W. H. Leahy, formerly manager of the
Tivoll opera house, has been tendered the
office of president of the police commiBRion
by Mayor Schmitz and haa accepted the
position.
At u meeting of the policyholders of the
Rhine and Moselle Insurance company o
day a committee which was appointed ut
the lust meeting to Interview the nianagfrs
of the concern reported that Inftead of a
settlement they had been offered a gift
as refugees, and the committee advised an
appeal to President Roosevelt In support
of litigation to collect the full amounts due.
The meeting passed resolutions favoring
the commencement of suit In the United
States court to get the earliest Judgment
possible on which to base proceedings In
Germany. The sense ot the meeting was
that if President Roosevelt could be in
duced to wield his powerful Influence with
Emperor William the chance of payment
by the company would be vastly increased.
Accordingly the policyholders will file suit
as soon aa the papers can he prepared in
the t'nited States circuit court. Some
means will be considered later to bring thr
matter to the attention of the president.

nd Urala Dealers.
WASHINGTON, July U-An Investiga
tion Is to be made by the Interstate Com
merce commission, by authority of the
t'nited States senate, of the elevator, grain
buying and forwarding burlness of the
country to determine to what extent spe
cial favors have been granted to them by
railroad companies; the lnfl uence which the
alleged monopolising of this branch of bus
iness has hsd upon the market; the Injury
it has worked to grain products; the ex
tent to which railroads, their ofllcers, di
rectors, stockholders and employes own or
control the grain buying and grain for
warding companies, and the manner In
which such holdings, if any, were secured.
The Interstate Commerce commission has
sent a circular letter to every railroad cor
poration In the United States requesting
Its responsible officials to furnish to the
commission as soon as practicable Infor
mation which will enable It to report to
congress next December.
What Commission Desires.
In brief, the commtsslor. desires railroad
companies to stipply it with the name and
location of every grain elevator along their
lines, together with the capacity of the ele
vator and whether the elevators are used
solely by their operators; the name and
address of each firm or corporation oper
ating the elevators; whether nny of the
elevatorsare located upoi the lands of the
railroad company and whether such privi
lege of location is open to other persons
desiring to erect elevators along the rail
road lines; what. If any, interest the rail
road companies have In elevator properties
and whether any allowance In money or
otherwise Is debit railroad companies for
the elevation and transfer of grain; the
names and addresses of the ten persons
or Arms who have been the largest ship
pers of grain over the railroad lines since
June, 1906; the extent. If any, to which

of grain; the extent, so far as may be
known, to which any officer or employe of
the railroad has been engaged in the op
eration of any elevator; a description
of all special facilities or privileges which
the railroad companies, during the three
years last past, have provided under stress
of competition or other conditions to main
tain or increase the volume of grain traffic
over the lines of railroads, together with
details of such special privileges or facili
ties, and a statement showing In detail the
methods of the railroad companies in dis
tributing cars for the shipment of grain.
Thrie or Four Months' Work
It Is expected by the commission that It
will require three or four months to obtain
the information asked for In its circular
letter, but no special difficulty Is antici
pated ultimately In obtaining It. The in
vestigation Instituted by the commission
will be thorough and sweeping and the com
mission expects to be able at the beginning
of the next session of congress to lay be
fore the senate such Information as may
be of value to It In the formulation o leg
islation regulating the interstate grain
traffic of the country.
FORGERIES IN HARTJE CASE
Experts and Bank Cashiers Bear Out
Statement of Defendant He
ardlng Letter. ,
PITTSBURG, Pa., July 13. Experts 111
handwriting called as witnesses In tho
divorce case of August Hartje against his
wife, Mary Scott Hartje, took up the en
tire time today in the hearing of tha case
In court. Beside the professional hand
writing men a number of bank clerks and
officials were called by Mrs. Hartje's coun
sel and although not qualifying as ex
perts, the testimony of the bank men was
admitted because of their knowledge of
signatures.
When court resumed In the morning,
M. D. Ewell, the Chicago expert for Mrs.
Hartje, was put on the stand and sub
jected to a rlgll cross examination by At
torney Ferguson. During this examination
Mr. Ewell said: "I would undertake my
self to simulate the handwriting of the
$.000 words in these letters."
The Hartje counsel took up the entire
morning with attempts to get the expert
for the respondent to admit that certain
peculiarities of the accepted and genuine
writings were he ame. This was success
ful in only few Instances.
All of the experts bore out Mrs. Hartje's
statement on the stand yesterday that the
"Dear Busle" letter formerly admitted by
her was not in the same handwriting as the
other "Standards" which the respondent
still admits.
Cashier Watson Irwin, of the Cltlxens'
National bank, one of the bank men called,
said that the "Susie" letter which Is rap
Idly coming Into the foreground as a domi
nant Issue, was not written by Mrs. Hartje.
He declared that exhibit No. 35, the muti
lated letter pasted on a cardboard, had
been tampered with.
The letters are being taken up seriatim
and the tight over them promises to be
long drawn out.
Adjournment until Monday waa taken.
The hearing on the conspiracy cases
against Augustus J. Hartje, John L.
Wrlshona and Clifford Hooe, the colored
coachman, will be held by an alderman
tomorrow. y
Assistant District Attorney John S.
Robb was again present during the taking
of testimony. Mr. Robb said the hearing
In the conspiracy charges against Au
gustus Hartje, John L. Welshons and Clif
ford Hooe, coachman, would be held be
fore Alderman Festus M. King tomorrow
regardless of the divorce case. There
would be no further arrests for a. few
days, h. said.
The mystery surrounding the arrest on
Wednesday last of a man giving the name
of B. F. McElroy was cleared today, when
It was explained that he had offered to
sell to Attorney John Maron. one of
Hartje's counsel, five letters alleged to
have been written by Coachman Madlne to
Mrs. Hartje. Maron turned him over to
the police on charge of conspiracy and
forgery. The letters are now In the pos
session of the officers.

rants concerned In the investigation. Cer
tain warrants were not paid by the state
for want of fund and the state treasurer
sold them. From the time the warrants
were thus stamped they became interest
bearing papers. The attorney general In
drawing up the paper in the present suit
computed the life of the. warrant at two
years and found that If the atate had held
the -.warrants the full time $4,600 interest
could have been collected. lie brought suit
for this amount. The suit was the culmina
tion of an attack on State Treasurer Kelly,
whose actions are upheld by Judge Dana
In his decision today.
