Judge Lois Banel acted as president of the court; the. procurator general, Jules Hcrbaux, had charge of ,the prosecution, and Ferdinand Labor!, the noted advocate, who \va3 closely identified with tho Dreyfus case, was chief counsel for the defense. Mme. Callaiux held the attention ot the crowded court room for three hours. She told her story and showed remarkable skill in marshalling her facts so as to represent them in the bCBt light for.her cause. Mme. Caillaux was a willing witness throughout. After she had concluded her narrative and was ackedlf there was anything she would like to add, she thrilled her listeners when she de scribed the protracted agony she had endured because of the calumnies against herself and her husband. "For three months I mounted cal vary,!'she said, "f ieh I do not wish to my worst enem. ' No one can im agine what I went through.

Caillaux "Wo wore reproached with r ?tng of the Bourgeoise. It Ss true. I am a Bourgeoise. When the letters were purloined, Ml Caillaux and myself felt alike; we' would have preferred to re nounce our great happiness rather than see our inner life blazoned to the, world. "I feared the publication of the let ters.' We had many frlonda, especially among the embassies, and in those circles people wished to humiliate and cast ridicule on my husband by the publication of two letters, addressed to two different women, signed "Thy Joe.' They wished to throw contempt upon the head of a minister of the re public, the chief of the radical party, and strike through him, the republic. "Finally, I did not wish to blush Lo fore my daughter; tbat is one thing a woman must not be asked to do. I deeply regret the present misfortune and I would have undergone anything In the world rather than have been the cause of lt." Her impassioned peroration WOB ac companied by eloquent gestures. Mme. Caillaux told of the shooting In the Figaro office. Prior to this she had been asked by the judge regarding her interview with Ferdinand Mouior, president of the tribunal of the Seine from whom rhe had sought informa tion as to whether the attacks ot- M. ?almette against her husband could be stopped.

She lowered her voice and half whispered: "I thought of commiting suicide. Then I thought of trying to do something myself to stop that pub lication. I said to myself I will make a scandal."

RESPONSIBLE FAILURE OF PORT TOWNS TO BECOME IMPORTANT SHIPPING POINTS THE "COAL TRUST Ry Control of Certain Lines Im pair Rates To Towns Supplied By Coal Shipped By Water (By Associated Press.) Washington, July 20.-Edwin J. Derwind. of New York, director and officer in many railway compauies. steamship lines and coal companies was charged today by B. L. Dulaney, of Bristol, Tenn., with chief responsi bility for failure of the Southern Rall, way to permit Charleston, Fernan dina, Jacksonville and Savannah from developing into important coal Rhip plng ports. .Mr. Dulaney was the only witness heard today ty the senate sub-comnilt tee which is invertigating thc cnarge that thc Morgan iterests are controll ing the coal rates of the Southern F.ailway and developing the Pennsyl vania coal fields and norts between Norfolk and New Yodrk to the detri ment of ports further south. Through a system of interlocking directorates. Mr. Dulaney charges, the "coal trust" has been able to control the lines tapping important coal Holds in Tennessee, Virginia and Kentucky and to impose freight, rates which' make it impossible for coal from these fields to move to Charleston or other southern ports which now are sup plied with Pennsylvania or West Vir ginia coal shipped by water from Bal timore or Norfolk. Washington, July 20.-Investigation of the charges that the Southern Rail way and other lines at tho hebert of a "coal trust" dlvorted to Norfolk, New York and oUw,,mid>te AJtJant,to fMrfsirafttpnibR^ should So to Charleston und?*' other": ports j south, was begun today before a sen ate committee. |B. Li. Dulaney, of Bristol, Tenn., de clared the Southern Railway had spent 115,000,000 for feeders in Ten nessee, Kentucky and .Virginia tap ping rich coal fields but made rates discriminating against Charleston be cause of "coal trust" influence. Northern railroads, Mr. Dulaney charged, are principal agents of the ' "trust" in fixing rates over the roads of the south. He characterized the Associated Railways of Virginia and the Carolinas as merely a subsidian of the Tidewater Bituminous Steam Coal Traffic Association, and declared the Pennsylvania, the New York Cen tral were in control "of the executive committees of the Baltimore and Ohio, the Chesapeake and Ohio, and. the Norfolk and Western railroads. Charles Lanier, George'F. Baker, E. J. Borwind, Adrian Iselin, Jr., E. H. Gary, Charles Steele and H. K. Mc IIarg were named by the witnesses as the men who actually direct the st airs of the Southern Railway and its subsidiary lines. "The actual stock ownership of n1' thoce men in the Southern Railway company," said Mr. Dulaney, "is hard ly enough to buy a good plantation in South Carolina or a forty aero orange grove in Florida."

Tho New Haven directors said they were unable to accept this con dition. They suggested that the de partment of justice take the matter In court and ask for a decree, to which they would assent, disposing of every Issue but . that of the Boston and Maine. . In the meantime they proposed that this stock he turned over to trustees who should sell it without the condi tion imposed by Massachusetts. They indicated tVat its /unrestricted sale would mean $10,000,000 to tho Now Haven. Attorney General McReynolds did not like the plan.

SUPREME COURT REVERSES CASE i Declares Decision of Anderson Court Null and Void In Sui livan-Wilson Case Special Correspondence. Columbia. July 20.-The Supreme court in a decision today by Chief Justice Gary reversed the order of tho Anderson circuit court, requiring the fiscal officers of Anderson county to pay the salary of A. Q. Sullivan, ou the ground that he was the duly ap pointed magistrate for thc city of Anderson during thc time specified in his petition. In tho potltion it is alleged that in April, 1913, B. P. WilBon, holding the o ttl ce of Magistrate in Anderson, was suspended from the office by thc gov ernor, "after due notice and hearing and is still suspended from said of fice." Tho supremo court reaeffed the, following conclusion: "The office of magistrate at Anderson, S. C., was hot vacant at the time the petitioner alleges, that he was appointed and commissioned by the governor. State vs. Bowden, 92 S. C. 393." "Tho governor has not the power to suspend a magistrate without first giving him a reasonable opportunity to be heard on the charge of miscon duct. McDowell vr. Burnett, 92 S. C. 469." "The facts stated in thc answer of B. F. Wilson to the rule to show any cause, are sufficient upon the taco, to show that he was not afforded a reasonable opportunity tn be heard on the charges of misconduct in of fice and the agreement cf counsel hereinbefore mentioned, IB to tho ef fect, that the facts alleged In the said answer, should be deemed as Lik en as true, therefore tho action of tho . governor, purporting to sur pend the incumbent Wilson and tho ap pointment of tho petitioner, A.
