BLUEBEARD IS
UNDER GUARD
Mob Failed In Effort
To Lynch Suspected
Woman Slayer

MARSEILLES, France, July SIP
Police closely guarded Frances
latest alleged Bluebeard today aft
er a Marseilles mob had been beaten
back when they made a determined
attempt 10 lynch him.
Jerome Prat, alias Pierre Rey,
charged with s~trangling to death
three women and the disappearance
of Is others, was indifferent as po-
lice clubs beat a tattoo on the heads
of the mob. To all attempts to ques-
ton him, he replied, Kill me right
away, but leave me alone"
Police had expected trouble when
they brought Prat from Algiers and
took him to a secluded quarter Of
the port. His identity became
known, however, and police had 20
battle against the mob before they
landed their prisoner safely in a
cell.
The desire Of the mob to avenge
the three dead women was attributed
to published reports that Pratt might
escape the guillotine, since the
French law DEGREES that no one over
the age Of 60 can be executed. Since
the law also prevents sending him
TO Devils Island, Pratt if convicted,
probably will spend the remaining
years Of his life in a jail cell in
France.

Woman Windshield
Smashey Gets Eight

about the size Of baseballs. Emit
ting a yell of triumph she turned
loose a hefty rock at the windshield
Of the nearest car. Her aim was
true and the glass was shattered.
She turned her attention to the
next car and again scored a bulls
eye.
"Yip-e-e-el" she shrieked as she
turned her battery upon the third
car, made a perfect hit, and turned
her attention to other ears along
the line. The throwing of each
rock was followed by a crash and
the tinkle of falling glass, which
seemed to delight the woman, as
she was occasionally forced to de-
sist from her self-appointed task to
indulge in a laugh.
TIL victims in the eighth car did
not approve of the woman's pas
time. They boiled out of the We
hicle, secured her ammunition sup
ply and held her until the Mata-
orc police appeared on the scene.
Christy Mathewson in his prime
had nothing on that old girl" was
the comment of one of the victims.
"She scored a hit every shot. 1t
was rather expensive for the car
owners, but she seemed TO be hav-
ing the time of her life"

Parnen Says to
Vote For Smith

WICHITA FALLS. July 5.-tR-
J. d. Parnell, candidate for Lieuten-
ant governor, in a statement here yes
terday declared his intention Of vot-
ing for Governor Alfred Z. Smith for
president.
Il have never scratched 4 democrat
ticket in my life," said Mr.. Parnell.
Il will vote the democratic from top
to bottom this year and hope we are
successful from the presidential
candidate down"
Prohibition is here to stay, Mr..
Parnell said. and no president can
change it without the consent of con-
gress. In discussing the decision Of
Senator Thomas B. Love, veteran
democratic leader, to vote for Her
bert Hoover for president he de-
clared:
ANY citizen has the right to cast
his lot with any political party put
forward, but he has no right to try
to ride two political horses at the
same time with one saddle. Mr.. Love
can affiliate with any party he de-
sires, but ! doubt that he can die
tate the nominee Of either party"

RESCUE ship
Fog Still Prevents Air
Rescue of Italia
Victims

KINGS BAY, Spitzbergen, July 8.
5R-Fifty miles Of pack ice today
separated the five marooned members
Of the Italia crew and Lieutenant
Lundborg, Swedish flier, from the
Russian ice breaker Krassin attempt
ing TO rescue them. The huge masses
Of ice halted the Krassin in its ad-
vance, but in the meantime the east
always were drifting nearer the yes
sci. Fogs and adverse weather con-
tinued to hamper efforts to take the
men off the ice by airplane. A new
effort to pick them up with a light
Moth plane will be made from Es-
marck Island, nine miles from their
reported position. The tri-motored
Swedish plane Upland will fly to the
island to establish a base for the op-
Grafton.
One flier who had been among the
missing men was safe today. The
soviet aviator B~abushkin, who left his
base ship, the ice breaker Maligin,
Friday returned to the vessel after
a narrowing five days experience
with wind and icebergs. Shortly
after leaving the ship he had run
into head winds which finally forced
him to descend in the sea so miles
north Of Hope island. There his
seaplane was in constant danger Of
being crushed by icebergs. Finally
he managed to take off again and
found thu Maligin.
Meantime search for Roald Amund-
sen and the five men missing with
him was being made by ships between
S%pitzbergen and Norway. An attempt
to confirm rumors that fishermen
had found the missing men failed
when the Italian seaplane Marina /
was forced back to Tromsoe by bad
weather after starting for North
Cape.

carry away a keener interest in it
than he had held. "To me, Arizona

the New Yorker. There is a great

HOW TO FIGHT
EXCESS fat

There are hard ways, like starvation,
but fewer and fewer employ them. There
is pleasant way, modern and scientific,
which c6mbats the cause. Avast number
of people now use it. And the slender
figures now seen everywhere are largely
due to that.
That method is embodied in Marmola
prescription tablets. People have used
them for 20 years-millions of boxes of
them. And everybody, in almost every
circle, sees the change. New beauty, new
health, new vitality.
Each box of Marmola contains the
formula, also the. scientific reasons for
results. So users have no fear of harm.
Learn the facts about Marmola, because
of the good it has done. Ask your drug
gist-now-for 81 box with the book.
Then decide.

HOSIERY AGENT
MUCH SOUGHT BY
LOCAL WOMEN

Local officers and large number
of Douglas women are very much in
tereSted at the present time in an ef-
fort to locate a man giving the name
Of c. L. Hunt and who, some days ago,
took orders for silk hose from a large
number of Duglas housewives. Police
have letters from Ell Paso chief of po-
lice saying that no such hosiery firm
as that Hunt claimed to be represent
ing is located in that city.
According to data secured by local
police from number of local women,
Hunt operated in the most plain and
open manner imaginable and never
failed to secure his victim even with
the police publishing warnings against
peddlers and tramps. Hunt repre-
sented himself as being an agent for
the Combine Hosiery corporation whicr
he S2id had offices in the Mills build
ing in Ell PaSo.
He; secured orders for hosiery and
took the orders down. The hose were
represented as being of finest silk. One
duplicate order held by local police
shows that by paying cash for $3.50
worth of hose, one lady was promised
a set of 18 pieces of china which were
to come free with the hose. Hunt
received payment in full and placed
the order for the china on the same
order blank with the hose and passed
on to his next victim who told him she
had only a dollar in the house.
He is represented to have said that
this dollar would be alright as down
payment and that the hose could come
collect. He is alleged to have collect
ed the dollar. Search for the man is
spreading as a letter to local officers
states that he is believed to have work
ed the same game in Ell Paso some time
ago.
