Camp Wheeler—Days at Camp
Wheeler are divided Into periods and
most o them moan periods of work
ior everybody in camp. Today the
battalions were divided into war
strength companies oT 150 men each
and dr.lied in extended order under
the eorps of Instructors commanded
by Captain Kimßroiigii. Immediately
upon conclusion of extended order
drill the men were put through man
euvers under fire, Instruction being
given In direction and control of the
fire and discipline under battle con
ditions.
The afternoons are divided into
periods of instruction for officers.
Yesterday and fills afternoon all of
ficers were required to take tactical
rides, General Walter Harris and Col

Only those o thers whose adm nlstra
tive duties required attention at camp
were excused Troin taking this ride.
One of the most Instructive and In

at Camp Wheeler go far was the lec

the camp surgeon, Major Page of the

today at the trial of Mme. Calllaux
for the purmed of Gaston Calmette,
editor of the Figaro.
"You are not here to accuse,” Inter
posed Maltre Laborl, the accused wo
man's counsel. "You will find nothing
but courtesy and deference for your
self if your role is simply that of a
witness. But if you come here to ac
cuse then you will find me in front of
you as a defender of my client.”
“I have Courage.
"If you have spoken of me to M.
Calllaux,” replied the witness In a
challenging tone, "he will have told
you that at least I have courage.”
"It Is said that the crime w-as com
mitted because I communicated copies
of letters,” continued Mrne. Gueydan.
She then referred to her notes, in
spite of a previous warning from the
court that she must not do so, and
Maltre Laborl objected amid murmurs
of protest against him from the au
dience.
Supports Objection.
Judge Albanel supported Maitro
Laborl's objection. The Judge then
himself addressed the witness, saying:
"Disagreements arose In yoUT
home."
“There were no dlsagreemente.”
The witness was speaking rapidly.
She continued:
"Our domestic life was tender. No
one knows. Not even you, Mr. Pres
ident, and absolutely no one know*
about this affair.!'
Judge Albanel: "Nevertheless, you
and your husband had a reconcilia
tion over something and the letters
were burned. Will you explain?"
The First Letter.
Mine. Gueydan: "The first letter
which appeared—do you know who
gave that to me? M. Calllaux. He did
it Ht the ministry of finances in 1908.
I had never suspected that my hus
band had a mistress. I first knew it
when he threw himself at iny knees
and asked my pardon. He humbled
himself and I pardoned htin, but the
day after he returned to this person 1
•lid not cease to believe his lying talk.
1 believed that the evil surrounding
my home had gone, for I thought I
saw the bottom of his heart In his
tenrs.”
Mme. Gueydan's voice had become
clear and though she spoke in low
tones her words penetrated every part
of the chamber as she said:
”1 did not know at all the person In
question. To show you my loyalty lo
my husband, he confided to me a trav
eling satchel full, he said, of import
ant papers. I never opened It. I did
not know until a long time afterwards
that it contained correspondence be
tween him and Mme. Raynouard. now
Mme. Calllaux."
Sank Indistinctly.
The witness' voice sank Into Indis
tinctness and she stood silent for a
moment before continuing. Then she
said only ”1 do not know what 1 can
say - what I ought to say ”
Judge Alhanel requested her to con
tinue. She then said:
“My husband became irritable and
1 was nervous. One day he said to me,
'Do you know t came to your bedside
last night to kill you?' After that t
felt that l ought to leave I went to

Joaeph Calllanx during her testi

getting nearer to her so he was bet

wlnthin four or five feet of her.

Mme. Calllaux bent over the railing
around the prisoner's enclosure with
her face half concealed.
Mme. Gueydan then recited a suc

between M. Calllaux and herHelf. She
said she had found letters at their
house and added:

Getting Exhausted.
Part*.—-Judge Louis Albanel's court In
the palace of justice, where Mme. Cail

She carried a little vial of smelling salts
and a note book.

conrlergerie before the hearing began.
They found the long strain was begin
ning to tell on her and that she felt ex
housted and ill but she showed strong
determination to face her ordeal with
calmness,
Two Private Letters.
The testimony of the first three
witnesses today concerned the two
private letters which the defense
seeks to show Gaston Calmette in
tended to publish.
Gaston Dreyfus explained that the
scientist. Paul Painlave, who yester
day testified that M. Dreyfus had told
him the Figaro was going to publlsn
a number of private letters, must
have misunderstood him. He had re
ferred to the Rocliette swindle affair
and not to private letters, about
which he knew nothing.
Would Be Printed.
An official of the treasury depart
ment, Andrew Ueissler, testliled to
being present during a conversation
of a group of journalists in the lobby
of the chamber of deputies when it
was stated tiiat letters shortly would
be published
Francois Desolaux, chief private
secretary to M. Caillaux. when minis
ter of finance, declared that Andre
Vervoort, editor of the Paris Jour
nal, told him Mme. Gueydan had pro
posed to him to publish two letters
which she iroduced. The rapid suc
cession of witnesses was interrupted
by the confrontat on of Gaston Drey
fus and Paul Palnleve, both of whom
maintained the accuracy of their de
positions with cons derable heat.
Ends Incident.
Amid much murmuring among the
public Judge Alhanel ended the Inci
dent by saying the Jurors must be
left to decide for themselves as to
the accuracy of the evidence.
Testimony Corroborated.
Andre Vervoort corroborated th* tes
timony of M. Desclanx but was unable
to say whether his nterview wltn
Mme. Gueydan had taken place before
or after the marriage of M. Calllau*
to his present wife In 1911.
"Cal! Mme. Gueydan," said Judge
Alhanel.
Nearly every one In court stood to
see M. Caillaux'* first wife, who has
been regarded as the person respon
sible for most of the misfortunes which
have overcome the French statesman
and hts aecond wife.
With Calm Dignity.
Mme. Gueydan, a slender woman of
medium height, then came Into court
She was dressed simply In black and
wore a small blue hat with blufc feath
ers. Fhe looked to he 35 or 58 years
old. Her face was drawn in tragic
lines, her black eyes showing from
great sockets In her wasted cheek?
She eeemed 111, but she walked with
calm dignity past her former husband
standing In front of the Judge* and
the Jury.
The witness asked If she might re
fer to her notes hut the request wna
refused by the Judge.
• "So Many Lie*."
"There have been so many lies told,"
said Mme. Gueydan, 't hat my note*

WITH THE PRIVATES
A little amusement was created yes
terday afternoon out at Camp Wheel
er when suddenly a band struck up a
"nice little rag." Immediately crowds
of National Guardsmen began surging
ing towards the spot from where the
musical strains were escaping evi
dently thinking the regulars were
"tuning up.” 'Twas no mild surprise
'a-tall. at the moment, judging from
the freely expressed opinions voiced
by several of them, such as “Ah, its
only a negro band, but, however, it
was a noticeable fact that said band
was appreciated by a large number,
at least Judging from the manner In
which a goodly number "stuck-around.
(Paul Moss' “child band" was per
forming)
Several shower-baths have been
erected for the different companies
and the boys kept the water flowing
all day yesterday as the stains of
traveling added to those gained In
erecting the tents were getting no
ticeable.
As every one knows Aumond is sit
uated right on the very crest of the
hill, and as the water tank is about
on the same level therefore the water
pressure Is exceeding strong which
incidentally causes comment from
each man as he steps under the show
er.
The usual camp scenes are every
where such as the “blanket" trick—
spread a blanket on the ground, set a
recruit In It snd catch the four corners,
lifting said blanket from the ground,
drawing it taut at the same time, and
away goes the youngster sailing up a
few feet in the air and then falling
hack only to rebound again. Oh It’s
fun. that Is for every one with the ex
ception of the man In the blanked.

Norfolk, Va.—The Ancient Order of

Irish situation and expressed h,s per
sonal opinion that while neither of

CAMP NOTES
The first fatality at Camp Wheeler
occurred this morning when one of the
horses of Troop A, from Savannah, was
kicked by another horse with such force
as to result in a compound fracture.
Recovery being practically imposside, the
animal was killed.
,The cavalry squadron umbers 2-0 men
and 19 officers, which is an unusually
large squadron. At the last joint en
campment there were only 180 men and
officers.
An especially pleasing feature to
those in charge of the organization of
the cavadry squadron is that details
were so complete that it was possible to
have mounted drill on the second day of
the encampment. Hitherto it has been
impossible to arrange for a mounted drill
before the third or fourth day.
The field bakery is one of the most in
teresting places of the entire site to the
average visitor. Three men are detail
ed to attend to this department, this
being a detachment from the regular
army. The oven used is large enough to
bake 180 two-pound loaves at one time.
There are four brothers here with the
cavalry squadron, everyone a man of
powerful physique, two of them being
men of wide military experience and
two being athletes of renown. J. L.
Grice, 30 years o’d. Is Fiist Lieutenant
und Adjutant of the Second Squadron of
