Also ill last week lay: Sir Austen Chamberlain, of food poisoning, in London; Governor Charles Wayland Bryan of Nebraska, of a heart attack, in Lincoln, Neb.; Leon Trotsky, of a heavy cold, in Copenhagen; Air Minister Paul Painlevé, of collapse after speaking lengthily in the Chamber of Deputies, in Paris...
...after President Doumer's death, remained coy to all correspondents last week, hinted that he may not try to become Premier when the Chamber reconvenes June 1, may prefer to become a second Aristide Briand, holding the Foreign Ministry and supporting as Premier his good friend Senator Paul Painlevé, a Republican Socialist.
