NEW ORLEANS, La, March Is
Thomas J. Sandridge, 80, salesman,
who is alleged by the police to have
escaped from a deputy sheriff while
on his way to the Georgia penitentiary
following his conviction on a charge
of swindling at Gainesville. Ga, six
years ago, was taken into custody by
local police and detectives from Geor-
gia here late today.
According to the police and the
Georgia detectives, cambridge was
tried and convicted at Gainesville six
years ago and sentenced to nine years
in the prison but eluded the officer
having him in custody while on his
way to the state prison.
His arrest here is said by the de-
tectives to be the end of a six-year
chase by them in which they have fol-

HOOVER PLANS TO
MAKE WORLD SURVEY
Production and Consumption Will Be
Studied by Department of
Commerce.
10y The Associated Press).

| WASHINGTON, March 28.-PIans
for a survey Of world production and
! consumption, together with the gather
| ing of figures on visible stocks of all
commodities, are under consideration
! by federal officials. An effort already
! is under way by the department of
commerce to obtain the figures on cot
ION and leather. The program has been
approved by President Harding as a
result of representations made by cot
ton producers and has been passed on
to Secretary Hoover to develop.
The motive behind the movement is
to supply American comerce and agri-
culture with facts and figures con-
corning the world markets OF the pres
ent and future, Mr.. Hoover said to-
night. In order to provide a sound
basis for producing and trading, Mr..
Hoover declared, it was important that
world conditions be definitely known.
He added that statistics on American
production and stocks are not suf-
2ciently complete but they offer a
foundation from which to work
Cotton interests are understood to
have claimed that a reduction in acre
age was inevitable next year should
the world stocks of that commodity be
anywhere near as great as Indicated
This situation, Mr.. Hoover stated
showed the necessity for gathering
the facts about that commodity as
we'll as others.
1t is not the intention, however, to
launch into a program of obtaining
statistics on all comodities at this
time. Although Mr.. Hoover said he
believed the need was apparent, he
added that his department was handi-
capped by lack of personnel and other
facilities.
For the present, it is proposed to
gather the data through American dip
lomatic offices and trade representa-
tfves abroad where they exist. But,
Mr.. Hoover explained, such facilities
were necessarily limited and meant
slow progress.
The suggestion has been made to
commerce officials also that the new
contact committees which Mr.
Hoover is organizing, lend their efforts
70 determine foreign production and
consumption. Mr.. Hoover expects to

BUSINESS CONDITIONS
ARE ENCOURAGING

NEW YORK, March 25.-Dun's to-
morrow will say:
After practically a year of hquida-
ton and defation. new forces are now
making for gradual business recupera-
ton. Recovery has not yet extended
to all lines and may be expected to
continue irregular but encouraging in
dications are increasing in number.
Although some of the hopeful signs
partly result from the influence of spe-
cial demands, such as the Easter re-
quirements, the favorable features are
also beginning to assume characteris-
tics of permanency. The rapid crop
advancement under the stimulus of
mild weather, the relaxation from
monetary tension, and the greater sta
bility of financial markets promote a
better feeling, while the trend toward
resumption of building activity is a
significant development. Rejecting
the latter movement, buying of steel
has gained a little and the lumber in
dustry, especially in the Pacific north
west, is experiencing some revival.
