Reims, hat a regiment of Prussian
guards threw itself desperately upon
the lines Of the French cavalry.
Not once but five times did the de-
voted regiment hurl itself against the
solid French front. After the fifth

signs Of reluctance they gave the sig

found that nearly all Of the hundred
were wounded.

them, however, as he thinks ne can convict them of several robberies com mitted here recently. He will hold Clyde Stratton, the leader of the gang: II. B. Hampton, Frank Williams, Lot tie Longton and Mrs. Margaret John son.
 The various bits of evidence that connected the Stratton gang with the crime have been explained The hlood-stained cards found in Hamp- tens room were caused by a bleed ing finger The diamonds in his suit case are phony. The outfit of guns. skeleton keys, dynamite nitroglycerin and burglar tools proves the gang to be expert criminals, but they have no connection with the Logue murder.
 Had Dealings With Gang, Belief.
 The police now believe that Logue long had had dealings with a gang of diamond thieves, of which the two men sought and Gertie F'risbie. and possibly another blond woman, were members. For some reason the gang decided to get" Logue-possibly he know too much. They tried Thursday and found him out of his office. They tried again Friday. This time they found him in. They tortured him long enough to get their revenge-and then finished the job.

.SUpREME COURT AGAINST THE RECALL

little Rock, Dec. 24-When the Supreme Court decided that the Rond Ammendment had not been odopted, it incidentally also knocked out the recall amend ment The decision was based mon the principle that uot more than three amendments can be submitted at auy one election. The court did not pass upon the ouestion of whether or not ma iority of the total votes cast at Fine election is necessary to adopt an amendment. The interfer- l |pnce, however, is that the court |holds such a majority necessary, ln line with a former decision, since in the present ruling it is |hpld that the 1 & R amendment makes no change in the Constitu- Iton except to enlarge the powers of initiating the laws, or passing upon those adopted by the Leg kklature.
 This makes the ninth case that has been decided by the Supreme Court involving questions raised by the I & R amendment, and gery one has been decided n keeping with the contention of he Attorney-general.
 Mayor c. E. Taylor, one of the most heartest advocates of the ,mendment, says that the fight has just begun, and that an effort kill be made to have the Legisla, hre re-submit it. That the peo. be want it is shown by the fact

ed before the meeting of the Gen eral Assembly, if eight per cent of the voters shall think that the welfare of the state demands that it shall be done and if three were duly proposed under the provisions of the constitution and said amendment thereto, the Leg islature would likewise be pre-, cluded from submitting fur,h er amendments to the same elec> tion. It is the people acting in any event, through either agency, and their prohibitation operates alike upon both. They will not be disturbed with more than three amendments at the same time, without regard to what gency submits them"

 MERCHANT MURDERERS.
BLOND VISITOR IS SOUGHT
Also Two Men Who Cursed at Finding Him Away From Bpsiness Day Be- fore killing-Eight Suspects
 Not Guilty, But Will Be Held.

Chicago, Dec. 24.-The entrance of the inevitable woman, coincident With the virtual exoneration of those al- ready under arrest, is the new turn taken by the mystery of the murder of Joseph H. Logue, diamond mer- chant, found tortured and murdered in his office here Friday.
 "Gertie" r'risbie, habitue of the Ten derloin, and former sweetheart of Ed 6ie Tate, probably the most notorious and skillful safeblower in the country. is the woman. With her two male as- scciates, whose descriptions are known, and who are thought to be well-known diamond thieves, the se- cret of the murder now is believed to rest.
 A woman who answers in every de- tail the description of "Gertie" Frisbie has been frequent caller on Logue lately. The two men sought came to lis office the day before he was killed. On that day he was out, and they left the office cursing. Men in the building saw them.
 Clears Eight Under Arrest.
 John J. Halpin, chief of detectives, has become convinced that the eight men and women taken immediately after the murder had nothing to do with it.
 He has no intention of releasing
