Hock, Ark., where he went to get a
man named Warfield, who waa iudieted
by the Brand jury on a charge of

Nheriff Miller wn* armed with ie#jui-

Merlin, March 2*. Chancellor von
Iteihmann ilullweg may decide to grant
electoral reform* in Germany looking
toward increased democracy in the em-
pire, before the end of the war, accord-
ing to a significant hint contained in
the Cologne Gazette ‘oday.
The Gazette declared that the ehan
eellor’e speech of March B, in which
he declared In favor of an extension
of popular control anyl promised such
a ■-adjustment after the war should
end, was not made aa a result of tho
revolution in Kussia, because it waa
impossible he could have heard of the
democratic movement there at that
time.
