Aloof in death as he was in the latter years of his life, the veteran French statesman was burled in a winding valley of the bleak and rugged Vendee just off a lonely by-road on the slope of a wooded hill, where his father had preceded hiw.

Statesmen at Rome Express Deep Re-| gret at Clemenceau Death. | ROME, November 25 (#).—News of the death of former Premier Clemen- ceau was received in Italy with deep regret, for Italian statesmen held him high in their esteem as one of éhe men most responsible for @inning the war. itorial comment praises him highly for his accomplishments during the war, but criticizes him for his part there- after as a foe to Italian aspirations. “Clemenceau was as much an enemy of Italy during the peace as the gen- erals of the German army were during the war,” said Il Tevere. “We ought to consider that in his heart and intellect only France had a place in order to pardon him the ferocious and gratuitous enmity he showed us. But for that fact itself we oight to judge him a very bad statesman, a mediocre man in politics and a great patriot.” ‘“Clemenceau issued from the war with the laurels of the victor, and this just,” says the Il Picolo. “The peace conference showed he was not our friend, but this fa® ought not to ob- scure our judgment to the point of not recognizing the enormous merits he had from the point of view of his own coun- try.

Municipal authorities have decided upon a definite course of action with respect to the allegations of inefficiency lodged by a former grand jury against Inspector William S. Shelby and Lieut.

It was reported in reliable quarters, however, that the committee would recommend that the District Commis- sioners grant the demands of Inspector Shelby and Lieut. Kelly for a prompt trial before a board clothed with power to compel the appearance of witnesses. A previous attempt of the Bride- Davison committee to probe accusations against the former detective chiets col- lapsed because the committee was pow- erless to subpoena witnesses, most of whom declined to accept “invitations” to appear. ‘The charges against the veteran po- lice officers grew out of their activities in investigating the death of Mrs. Vir- ginia McPherson.
