...French Royalists outside the Paris office of their obstreperous news organ, L'Action Française. Parisians stopped to loiter, to tip one another the wink, to shrug and pass on. They knew that fiery, effervescent Royalist Editor Leon Daudet must be preparing with dramatic Daudeterie to resist arrest. A sentence of five months in jail "for defaming the police" has hung over him these two years; and only a fortnight ago he refused once more to set a time convenient to himself to serve his sentence (TIME, June 13). Therefore last week the authorities announced that they would...
During the last week, the police decided that something really must be done. Instead of the usual printed card, the host himself called, M. Daudet was adamant; once and for all time, he did not intend to accept Monsieur Le Prefect's invitation. M. Le Prefect hinteu vaguely at arrest, bowed and retired.

From this sanguine beginning the play proceeds through an ingenious labyrinth of surprises that would have been far more spine-chilling if The Spider (TIME, April 4) had not arrived first in Manhattan with much the same formula. A horde of unnamed actors are planted in the audience to be yanked from their seats, shoot from the balcony and participate generally in what looks like an impromptu actors' tong...
...Post Office Department; at Glens Falls, N. Y. In 1894, when Coxey's Army marched from the West to Washington, D. C., 352 men seized a passenger train in Kansas, ran wild with it. Major Cochran and his guards captured the lot, marched them to jail. The pursuit, arrest and conviction of Gerald Chapman and "Dutch" Anderson, famed mail robbers, was directed...
