 Counsel for Mrs Duke tried to secure her release on parole, but the representa- tive of the district attorney would not agree. After hearing the argument on that point Magistrate Poole said: There s something queer about this whole case It looks as if the Texas authorities have been trhing with the district attorneys officers here. It is fifteen days since Mrs. Duke was arrested and we have heard nothing definite from them
 The magistrate granted an adjourn ment until tomorrow and Mrs. Duke was returned to the Tombs. When she was being conducted nack 10 the prison sne collapsed in faint in the corridor out side the court room and was carried across the bridge of sighs to her cell.
 Assistant District Attorney Sanford promised to telegraph Governor ISnham. of Texas, to stir the district attorney of Nacogdoches county, Texas, to more ac- tivity and direct him to stop trifiing with the district attorneys office here.
 Chicago February 6.-Charles F. Tay- Tor. business partner of Mrs Alice Webb Duke, has been arrested at his office here charged with being fugitive from jus tIce. He is alleged to have been impli- cated in swindle at Nacogdoches, Tex as, involving $S,000

professor Of the University of Breslau
are analyzed. The professor raised an
alarm because the balance of trade be
