DAUDET’S ESCAPE.

GOVERNMENT STILL IN HOT WATER. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) LONDON, July .7. The Daily Mail’s Paris correspondent says: Madame Moutard, telephonist at the office of L’Action Fiancaise, was suspected of complicity in the Royalist hoax, resulting in the release of M. Daudet, and was imprisoned, with her baby. She has been released, following repeated attacks on the Ministry by newspapers and in the Chamber, wherein all parties combined. resenting a baby being imprisoned. A Ministerial crisis was only avoided because the Chamber did not wish a change of Government during the discussion on the Electoral Bill. COURT GRANTS SECURITY. LONDON, July 7. The Paris correspondent states that Bagot, the taxi driver, who recently obtained twenty-five thousand francs damages for libel from Daudet, secured the Court’s permission to auction Daudet’s furniture and personal effects to secure payment.
