Unless additional evidence against
them is obtained, the six men ar
rested here Tuesday on information
purporting to connect them with
the murder of William Desmond
Taylor, film director, will be re-
leased today, according to the po-

Their release, it was said, would
mean the police had abandoned

like O'C0NN0R
GIVEN RELEASE

Oskaloosa, Iowa, March 3.-Dep-
uty Sheriff William Van Horn OF
Cook county, Illinois, arrived here
this morning and announced that
the. man held by local authorities
as Tommy O'Connor, escaped muir
derer, is not the man sought by
Chicago police. The man. who
says he is John Clark of Detroit,
Mich. will be released.
Deputy Sheriff Van Horn said
that Clark looks a great deal like
O'Connor, but that Bertillion meas
urements show that he is not the
man who made the sensational es-
cape last Dec. IL. several days be-
fore he was to have hanged for the
murder of Chicago policeman.
Clark is the same man who was
held by Polk county authorities at
Des Moines, Iowa, as O'Connor. He
was under arrest in Des Moines for
nearly two weeks, and only was re-
leased several days ago.

SAYS SMALL
SPENT CASH
HELD SAVED
Representative Sc arcy
Charges Governor With
Deceiving People.

Springfield, H., March 5.-(By
The Associated Press. )-Deceptio
of the people of Illinois in his claim
that he saved the taxpayers $1,000
900 by vetoing appropriations OF the
Fifty-second general assembly was
charged against Governor Len
Small at a Republican county COM
mittee meeting here at noon today
by Representative Earl b. Searey
of Springfield, a candidate for the
state senate.
Nearly $4,000 900 OF the $1,000
000,' Mr.. Searcy charged, had
been withdrawn from the state
treasury after the close of the fiscal
year of 1920-21, Notwithstanding
the repeated claims by the gov
ernor that the whole OF the $1,000
600 was vetoed.
"A deliberate attempt to deceive
the people of Illinois. such as this
is, is objectionable" Mr.. Searcy
said. Either the governor himself
is guilty of this false effort to be
tray the state or some Of the gov
e-nor's department chiefs have
been guilty of betraying the gov
ernor
For State Institutions.
THE legislature in 1919 made ap-
propEiations for the construction Of
many necessary buildings at the
various state institutions. This
appropriation ran until June 80,
1921. In accordance with estab-
lished custom the last general as
sembly reapportioned large sums
of unexpended balances of these
appropriations The total was
$2,027 $3.50. The governor has
told the people OF the state that
this entire total was part Of the
81 ,000, 900 he vetoed.
But instead of vetoing this ag
gregate of $2,027 $3.50 after an
nouncing that it had been slashed,
either the governor or some of his
department chiefs permitted to be
drawn out of the treasury all bat
$13596O96, which means that
81, 1,S91, ,89484 of the $7,OOO.O00 never
was saved at all, but actually spent
Some of the specific items are
startling" Mr.. Searcy said. ''Ia
this district the governor claims he
saved $28, .2S in connection with
Tue JdChSOuf It lbS plIfAA AlH
records show that only $500 az
this sum was actually allowed %
lapse.
THE Jacksonville item is. moth
ing as compared with some of these
at other institutions. - c%Jn, for
instance, the governor claims to
have vetoed $575 ,650.10. The rec
ords show that only $16.79 of this
amount actually lapsed. And at the
eye and ear infirmaTy in Chicago,
where the saving was advertised as
$500, 81 "a, the records show the
whole amount was withdrawn from
the state treasury and spent
Il do not question that much OF
this money was spent on COnstruc-
ton work that was needed. The
serious feature is that we have the
spectacle of a governor, parading
huge Yetoes, when actually a large
per cent of the money was used.
Mr.. Searcy then read a detailed
list, which he said substantiated
his charges. Appropriations for
permanent improvements to IL
state hospitals, which were report
ed vetoed, totaled S1,248 ,526.99, MIR.
Searcy said, but of that amount
only $123. .3S2.5S had actually lapsed.

ST. LOUIS.


st. Louis, March 3.-The capital
now ready for investment in this
section reveals what is probably the
largest latent buying power on rec
ord here. Economic readjustment
towards prosperity only awaist ac-
celeration through price and cost Ii
quidation in the construction indus
try. Sentiment is growing among
the building trades for wage re-
auctions, but lack of action is laid
at the doors of some leaders who
are alleged to have shifted respons-
ibiiity for counsel to that end TO
members in the ranks.
Contractors and manufacturers
are also agitating for lower freight
rates on fuel and building mater
ials. Recent petitions by the ST.
Louis and San Francisco road for
lower rates on sand, gravel and
coa> have been halted by the In
terstate commerce commission. In
quiry in coal mining towns of Illi-
noiS indicates miners are not finan-
cially situated to engage in a pro-
longed strike. Retail merchants
there say they have already reach
ed the credit maximum and cannot
expand it further. Nevertheless, a
strike is expected. Better prices
for farm products have resulted in
increased receipts at local stock
yards. Current wholesale and re-
tail business conditions remained
unchanged this week.

ATLANTA.

Atlanta, Ga, March 3.-The real
turning point in retail and whole
sale trade throughout the southeast
is expected this month. Retail trade
showed decline in the early part
of the year as compared with 1921,
but this was expected Wholesale
business decreased less than two
per cent in money value in the early
period. Wholesalers and jobbers
Tow report better inquiry and
sales are expected to increase stead
lily from now on.
The local banks have reduced
their loans materially and plenty
of money is now to be had for le-
gitimate business enterprises.
February proved banner month
for Atlanta in building construc-
ton Permits totaliing $1.041 900
were issued. This was slightly in
advance of the record for Janu-
ary. and combined the figures for
the two months were the largest
ever recorded here. The coopera-
tive plan for marketing cotton is
making splendid headway in this
state. An average of two thousand
bales has been signed in the last
week. Holders are looking for bet
ter prices and there is little tend
ency to dispose of cotton except to
pay pressing obligations Return of
the price to the 20 cent a pound
level probably would soften the spot
cotton situation.

BERLIN, Nov. 10.-Seventy five million men were mobilized by all belligerent nations during the World War, according to statistics issued by the German authorities. This Is more than the entire population of Germany, which amounts to about 65,O0O,0oO people,
 Germany alone had 13,35O,000 men under arms, of which no less than eight millions fought in the fighting lines up to the last minute.
 When the armistice was concluded the complete strength of the German Army was 190 infantry divisions and five cavalry divisions. The army then had the following war material at its disposal:
 Light matchine guns, 32,21s; heavy machine guns, 27,134; heavy guns, 3,OS3; mine throwers, s,s45; field guns. 5,s52; field howitzers 3,15s; naval guns (long range), 1,747; air defense guns, 1,137; horses, 764,563.
 Eighty five per cent of this ma terial has been destroyed under the provisions of the Versailles Treaty.

This is political off-year," said Adams, land political off-years are almost in- variably marked by reactions from the nnajorities of the Presidential election. With very few exceptions Congresses elected in off-years have been the most political.

In the frantic battle which followed many leaped overheard and were drowned. Deserted and unnamed, the blazing steamer drifted down stream, finally bleaching itself di- rectly opposite the industrial sec tion of Shanghai. Many are believed to have burned to death on the ship, while others who were unable to swim lost their lives in the river.

At these hearings sug- gestions as to regulations having for their object the conservation of the fish supply will be recieved and are invited Hearings will also be held at San Francisco, it Is announced. be- fore restrictions will be imposed. That the order will have little effect in de creasing the pack of Alaskan canner- ies is the statement of officials, for the reason that any regulations i'm posed are expected to be gradually applied.
