There are thousands Of delinquent

best that most of them expect is to
be relieved Of the fine, but some of
them are even trying to evade the SO

corporation tax law is altogether too
stringent and that the United States
treats the corporations as If they were
criminals.

Mr.. Chaffee made requisition for
"Caddigan" to Minneapolis and Cad

that he was anxious to get things
Strengthened out and prove that he was
not in any bunco game. Nevertheless,
when the morning Of the trial dawned,
he was not to be found, to answer to
the reasonability of extradition pro-
ceedings.
A bench warrant has been issued for
the missing man and officer sbelievc
that Armstrong has history as ancient
as it is unique. They claim, according
to dispatches that in 1883 he was town
marshal of albuquerque and was help
ed out of town by citizens who no long
er wished his presence. It is alleged
that he was a companion Of the famous
"Soapy' Smith and the Blonger broth
ers, confidence sharks.
Armstrong was sought by Minneapo-
lis police for a long time after the
Chaffee swindle, and finally the Cali
fornia detectives located him in Los
Angeles. E. W. Chaffee, son of H. F
Chaffee, made visit to Los Angeles
and announced that the man held on
suspicion was the same bunco artist
who swindled the elder Chaffee out of
$4,000. The man was held under bond
till the extradition service should be
examined. 1t is believed by Los An
geles police that Armstrong will not be
caught soon.
