National Bank, and George M. Rey-
nolds, president Continental & Com
merciaI Bank, were asked by a Trib-
une reporter what they think of the
Manly report of the U. S. industrial
relations commission, signed by
Frank P. Walsh, Austin B. GarretsOn,
John B. Lennon, James O'Conneu.
These two men are the bank
mOgUls of Chicago. Their banks are

holes of cash and collateral in the
middle west. Forgan is agent and

Reynolds is spokesman for the Ma
tionaI City Bank of New York and
the Rockefeller interests. The Trib-
Une gives opinion on the Walsh-Man-
ly report this way:
ROT, rot, was the terse ex-
preston of James B. FOrgan, banker.
That sums it all up
Z read the report down as far as
the point where the plan to break up
big fortunes is proposed, said George
M. Reynolds That was enough.
The whole plan appears in my eyes
as sociaIstic, impractical, and IN
called for
Rot, is the answer to the Walsh
Manly proposition: Tax dead men
for the use of live ones. When a null
ti-miIlionaire like Marshall Field dies,
let the state take away all the mil
lions except a million apiece for each
of the heirs to live on"
It's a sin of society against hungry
children, men out of work and SEA-
week working girls for the nation to
allow two soft-handed boys like Mar
shall Field III. and Henry Field to
have $35O,OOO,OOO of property with
out ever working, according to the
Walsh-Manly report. Let young
Marshall and Henry get along on
$1,OOO,OOO apiece. That's enough for

jobs to the oUt-of-works and raise
the $6-a-week girls to a living wage.
That's what the Walsh report stands
for. And that's what Forgan says is
rot" and Reynolds says is ''uncalled
for" Here's some of the exact Ian
guage of the rot they don't like:
''In effect the American law of in
heritance is as efficient for the estab-
ishment and maintenance of families
as the English law which has bull
warked the British aristOcracy
through the centuries. Every year
sees this tendency increase as the
creation of estates in trust secures
the ends which might be more simply
reached if there were no prohibition
of entail
According to income tax returns
for ten months of 1914, there are in
the United States 1888 fortunes
yielding an income of 100000 per
year or over. These are so invested
and hedged that they are, to all in
tents and purposes, perpetUities.

of $1,OOO,OOO or more, whose mem
bers perform little or no useful serv-
ice, but whose aggregate incomes,
totaling at least fifty millions per
year, are equivalent to the earnings
of 100000 wage eaTners, at the aver
age rate Of $500.
There is a social aspect which
merits attention Of congress. These

Montgomery, March 7.-(Special)-Ow-
 ing to the large decrease this year in the
 receipts of the agricultural department
 from the sale of fertilizer tags, Commis-
 sioner J. A. Wade is at a loss to know
 how he will secure sufficient funds to
 meet the departments various obligations. The commissioner announces that the
 total collections from october 1 last through today amounted to only $60,902.27, decrease of more than $100.00o over the
 collections for a.. similar period last sea- son.
 Under the law the agricultural depart
 ment has to pay it's own operating ex- penses from the sale of fertilizer tags and in addition is required to pay out s67,00C to the various counties of the state for rural school improvement. He expects to collect at least $30,0OO more before the tag season ends, but that will not be enough by nearly $50,00O, he states. to meet the expenses of the department.

 Pursued

Oklahoma City, Okla, March 27.-Des- peradoes who early today robbed two banks at Stroud, okla, of approximately s5oOG tonight, escaped from a patch of woods near Stroud where they were thought to be trapped, and up to a late hour had eluded posses of several hun dred men securing the country about Stroud Additional posses are en route to Stroud to join in the pursuit.
 The men are believed to be headed for an uninhabitated section of the kiamichi mountains in the southeastern corner of Oklahoma, which for years has been the rendenzvous of outlaws.
 The leader of the band, who with one of his companions was wounded and cap- tnred as they were leaving Stroud, has admitted that he is Henry Starr, noted desperado, according to dispatches from Chandler where the men were taken.
 We went to the banks to get the money and we got it." the bandit leader de- c1aIed We have no one to blame but ourselves. There are five good men left in the crowd.'
 Previous dispatches indicated that Il men participated in the robbery.

 In Jasper tonight there Is little doubt of Frank guilt. The driver of the bus line says he saw Frank get on the midnight Frisco train last night for Memphis but thought nothing of it.
 Later tonight it was definitely ascer- tained that Cagaska left Jasper for Mem phis, Tenn, at midnight following the murder.
