Determination to find and punish
the girl with death on the gallows

the office Of States Attorney Grove
declared the list Of women who
have been freed by Cook county
juries OF murder charges will stop
at twenty-nine." This girl, they
asserted, will pay the full penalty

her husband crumple at her feet
with a bullet in his heart, was
eager to scrutinize the features Of
every girl taken by the police.
Suspects Released.
Several who already have been
taken before her have been re.
leased. but she has partly identified

police lines and slipping out OF the
city. Every nearby large town will
be asked to check movements Of
its known habitues Of the under

time. Belgian officials had hoped
to canvass the plan thoroughly.
It is learned from Belgian sources
that Premier Poincare holds that
the English must bear partial
moral responsibility for Ruhr dis
orders. The French Premier was
said to have told the Belgians that
one word from London would be
sufficient to cause the Germans to
cease passive resistance in the
Ruhr. So far the British govern
ment has refused to convey this
hint to Berlin.
- Premier Poincare is understood to
have rejected Belgian suggestions
for concessions to get the English
into PREPARATIONS discussions.
The French made 1t plain that
they see no practical advantage in
sitting with the British in a repara.
tions conference so long as Great
Britain remains in the attitude she
has held since January.
Belgium may suggest to London
through diplomatic circles that the
British hint to Germany that the
policy Of passive resistance against
Franco. Belgian occupation be can
celled.
The Franco Belgian conference
was one of the shortest on record.
Premier Poincare and his French
colleagues departed for Paris at $40
o'clock this morning, less than
twenty,four hours after their ar.
rival here.
While harmony marked the dis
cussions, the views on the nature
OF the Ruhr issue differed. Premier
Theunis of Belgium. contended thar
the Ruhr Is purely an economic
question. The French Premier, on
tho other hand. claimed that it IL
more political than economic.
