PARIS, April 23.—-—'O-bjections of the
people of Bre’st to the exhumation and
shipment to the United States of the
bodies of American seamen and
marines who died there during the
war, has led members of the Chamber
of Deputies to make investigations as
to the conditions under which the
work is being done. Paul Cimon, a
member of the Chamber for Brest,
left for that city last night, and Emile
Gouda, Socialist Deputy is making an
nquiry on his own account.
'M. Simon said yesterday he might
interpellate the government 0n the
subject it he found hygienic condi-
tions at Brest were dangerous, but
laid emphasis on the fact that such
action would not imply any criticism
of the United States.
Working parties at Brest have been
halted several times in the last. few
days by urgent cablegrams from the
American War Department, stating
that relatives of: dead seamen had
changed their minds and‘ now pre-
ferred their bodies should remain in

several months.
The. railroad managers met Mc-
Hugh's challenge for a "next move"
by redoubling their efforts to hire new
men to replace the strikers, and reiter-
ating their dt termination to take stri-

as a protest against her husband fil-
ing an action for a divorce from her,
alleging intolerable cruelty, made a
bluff at attempting suicide.
Bell rushed into police headquarters,
last night at 8 o‘clock, and shouted ex-
citedly to peak Sergeant J. Harry Cib-
son that his wife told him she had
taken poison. and that she was in his
automobile in front of the City Hall,
probably dying.

Burnell found no reason to treat 11)"

that she be taken to her borne.
Last Monday night Mrs. Bell left a
note in her husband's jiiney. in which
she is said to have declared that she
would trouble him on longer, and she
hinted at killing herself. Bell turned
the note over to the police. '
Bell and Miss Bray Were married in
February of last year. after eloping to
New Jersey. Not long after, she start-

drew the action before it reached
court. Several weeks ago she had
Bell arrested, charging him with non-
support. When the case came. up, in
the First district court, she agreed to
withdraw her complaint. Then Bell
started an action for divorce.
Mrs. Dell is said to have admitted,
after the excitement growing out of
her declaration that she had taken
poison had subsided, that shelled to
