I do not believe the Senate will act on either bill until after the House disposes of the Russellville bill, which will be called up Wednesday. French troops! a ik now 1S a 0 ut the referendum with orders to shoot to kill in case of further disorders took over the command of Mayence from the local German police today following attacks upon French officers and soldiers morning. German crowdi, infuriated because of the prison sentences imposed upon Herr Schlutius, Dusseldorf finance director, and Herr Raiffeizen, mine director, man-handled the French soldiers and officers at one point in the city, invaded the hotel where they were billeted, dragged the orchestra' into the street and forced the musicians to play "Deutschland Uber Alles." The local police did not interfere. There was great jubilation among the Germans following the announcement of the outcome of the trial of Fritz Thyssen and six other industrialists. The Germans feel that the French, in imposing fines upon the accused instead of prison sentences showed their weakness and fear of outbreaks.

Thysssa and his fellow defendants refused to pay their fines, which ranged downward from 500,000 francs. to be voted on at the primary election. Attorney Noah Ivey of Rogers is here and working actively against removal. HARDING BACK AT HIS DESK By United Frew. WASHINGTON, Jan.

Say Russellville Vote Reduced The Arkansas Democrat (Little Rock) Wednesday evening published the following: Russellville, it was declared, had obtained pledges from a majority of the House members to vote for the bill, but Fayetteville was fighting desperately to wean some of Rus- seHville's followers away from the bill. Should the bill be passed by the House, its passage in the Senate is virtually assured, as 19 senators have signed an identical measure now pending in the upper branch of the legislature. There wts a report in circulation that Russellville's support on the bill had been cut to 45 votes in the House, but this could not be verified. Neither side was sure of its ground. Reports received in Fayetteville Thursday from Fayetteville representatives in Little Rock said they were taking advantage of the postponement which was obtained by agreement.

Lee's Dramatic Death Mr. Lee had opened the discussion and had been speaking for about twenty minutes. He had presented statistics and arguments in support of his contention that the College of Agriculture had not given an adequate service to the people of the State. He had paid a brilliant tribute to Arkansas and its many resources and advantages and said: "I was not born in Arkansas, and in that respect I have the advantage of those who were born here. I came to the state when I was very young, after I was old enough io know right from wrong, but I love the state of my adoption and when I die it will be my last wish that I be buried in tne sacred soil of the state I love.

Mr- Lee became weaker and his voice began to falter, With an effort he said: "Mr. Speaker, 1 am not half through, but I am growing weak and must sit down." These were his last words and as he uttered them he collapsed and fell to the floor. He was quickly carried into the hall where Dr. Hardy of Faulkener and Dr. Ray of Mississpipi, members of the house waited upon him, but he was past all relief and within five minutes he was pronounced dead.

The physicians said that it was a case apoplexy. The House immediately adjourned until Thursday morning Messengers were dispatched to the Senate which also adjourned out respect to his memory. Mr. Lee wag serving his seconc term in the House. He was a live of Alabama, 46 years of age and engaged in the practice of law.at-Dardanelle.
