HONEST PREFECT
CHECKS GRAFT
St Petersburg, July 18—A graft
scandal of typically New York flav
or has just been exposed at Odessa,
thanks to the exceptional honesty
uud zeal of an officer attached to
the staff of the Prefect of Police
hi that city. As a result of informa
tion secured by him charges hare
been preferred against a dozen In
spectors and sub-inspectors who. It
•;>pears, have for some time past
• <vu collecting annual tribute of
approximately JaO.VOO from the
keepers of disorderly houses.
The officials in Question brought
H>ut their own downfall. Learning
that the staff officer was
"n their trail, and assum
ing that. as is usually the
cast, in Russia, they could secure
immunity by lettiug him in ou the
craft, they invited him to a lunch
>n at which they formally asked
him to join the ring, laying before
n the full list of the houses under
their control and the amount con
tributed yearly by each.
There was also * memorandum
vim; the amounts, names oft car
tain houses whose tribute they
thought might be inceased under
the application of a proper degree
of pressure. The staff officer ap
i irentiy interested in the proposi
tion, asked for a day in which
to consider it, taking w4lh him the
documents. These bo returned the
next day with expressions of regret
that he couldn't Jain them, but
iu the meantime he had photograph
ed the papers, and the prints are
now in tiio hands of the Ministry of
Justice.
n:v MADAME CAILLAVX
FOR CALMETTE MURDER
Paris July IS—Madame Joseph
I'aillau::, wife of tha former Prem
.fr aud Minister of Finance, will
f:o on trial for her life here Mon
thly in the court assizes, charged
■vith the murder of Gaston Calmette
editor of "Le Figaro.",
Mine CaiUaux, it Is said, will
amount practically to a plea of
"brain storm," that she acted in a
moment of folly. This plea, it is
understood, will be reinforced by
a denial that Mrs. Callaux was dir
ectly responsible for Calmette'e
death, the charge being made that
t::e surgeons attending Calmette
after tbe shooting mirht have sav
ed his life easily had they operated
in time. A third string to the de
fense's bow will be iu the nature of
a justlflaotlon plea, idltor Calmette'a
attacks being of an alleged person
al nature and exceedingly violent
in tone, calculated to destroy what
to the Calllaux couple was more
precious than life; the good stand
ing of the wire.
Score* of witnesses have been
subpoenaed, Including former prime
ministers, cabinet officiate, senators,
deputies, Judges, lawyers. Princess
€» and social leaders, while the
President of the Republic, Raymond
Polncare, will testify through a
deposition. The officiate, news
paper correspondents and the like
have asked admission.

As a general rule, the Canadian

capital required for development

majority interest in the control of
the property. This basis of nego
tiation is considered to be in the
best interests of both parties.
The opening up and working of
those properties would mean much
to tliis section of the country for
there are mountains of low grade
e-ilver lead ores in addition to the
higher grades, that could be profit
ably worked provided smelters or
other means of reducing the out
put are erccted and operated close
at hand, thus eliminating the
prohibitive transportation chargos
by rail and wator that now prevail.
Mr. Mein came out last night on
'■ is way to Juneau, where he will re-i
main for some time, but Mr. Stokee
is still continuing the work of In
vestigation. When ho gets through
i report of the findings „ will be
made to the head office and the
matter settled definitely either for j
or against.
