Yesterday afternoon Sheriff Bal

Thompson was run down and Koontz
lost in the hills near verden.
Getting on Thompsons trail first
Deputies Cas,leman, Rucker and Har-
ris followed Linn so closely that he
took to the Washita river in an effort

The officers came up on Thompson
at the o. c. bridge across the Washi-
Ia. When the officers arrived at the
bank OF the river Thompson was in
midstream, attempting to reach the
further shore. Rucker got the drop
on him while Castleman started into
the water after the prisoner. When
he saw his. chances of escape were
nil, Thompson threw up his hands
and waded out and surrendered. His
capture was effected about four
O'Clock.
Later the sherifrs officers got on
the trail of Koontz at the Rock Island

prisoner was sighted north of the
Rock Island-Frisco crossing, in North
Chictasha, and the officers gave
chase in a car Cutting across fields,
however the prisoner led the officers
into the neighborhood of Verden.

Seemingly determined to show the
officers that they were bold, bad
! burglars, Thompson and Koontz, after
effecting their escape from the road
gang, entered the Lucille school house
and purloined lot of Juvenile books
from the library. Six or seven vol
umes were in the possession OF
Thompson when arrested.

ASK MORE
FUNDS FOR
SCHOOLS
Special Election is Called for May 81 TO
Authorize Extra Levy Of One
Mill Necessary for Main
tenance

In accordance with a cali issued by
the board of education, specie, cleo
ton will be held on May 81, at which
time the voters will be asked to au-
thorize an additional tax levy Of one
mill
The same amount was requested
and granted in the special election
that was held last year. After care
full calculations the board ascertained
that the regular levy provided by
law would not furnish adequate rev.
enues to run the schools for full
nine months term and they arc there
fore checking the matter up to the
voters.
AS explained by Supt. Ramey at
the commencement exercises last
night, the board is asking for no
more money than was granted last
year. All Of the funds derived from
the levy of an extra one mill last
year was not required and.it was stat
ed that the board, in the event the in
crease is authorized this year, will
use only as much as may be needed.
Increase in the population of the
city and the consequent growth of the
city and the consequent growth of
the enrolment in the schools, it IS
stated. necessitates larger expendi-
lures than can be met with the max
imum levy allowed by law. The
building of the junior high school does
not enter into the board calculations
in regard to this matter, the levy that
is sought being necessary wholly for
maintenance.

TRADE INCREASES
Commerce With Alaska Has
Gained More Rapidly Than
With Other Territories

American commerce with nOn-Con,
tiguous territories of the United States
during the ten months ended last April
reached total value of $246 Dos, $3.50.
an increase of more than 30 per cent
over the record of the corresponding
normal period ending April, 1914. Ship.
ments received from those territories,
including Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico
and the Philippine Islands, were valued
at $l52,035,29 as compared with S9l, :.
424,653, while shipments from the Uni.
ted states 70 these territories. iuclud.
ing in addition Guam and American
Samoa, were valued at $94, S73, 265
against $02, 245,516 two years ago.
Shipments to the territories, IL will
be seen, have not Increased in anything
like the proportion Of gain shown in
merchandise received. The trade bal
ancc in 1914 favored the United States
slightly, while the present record shows
the balance strongly in favor of the ter.
ritories.
The Importance of the trade with
the territories is indicated by a cum,
parison with the trade with foreign
countries. Shipments received from
non-contiguous territories were OF
greater value than those received from
0Ceania and Africa combined. They
were larger than imports from any
European country except the Unired
Kingdom and were almost half as
large as the total imports from South
America as from Asia. The fact that
shipments to the territories do not
compare as favorably indicates that
the United States has wide opportuni
ties for expanding trade in the terri
tories.
Trade with Alaska has gained more
rapidly during the last two years than
trade with any other territory. ONLY
to the Philippines do shipments from
the United States show decline.
