Hand Captured
IN Orange, Mass.

Templeton. Mass. June 1.-Edward
Savage, fugitive since Friday last in
the woods in this vicinity, was cap
tured tonight at Orange 10 miles from
the home of his former employer. John
Merkel, whence he fled pursued bv the
farmer with an axe after an alterca-
ton. Merkel had applied to police for
protection, alleging that attempts had

scription had been seen in Old Park. a
former race track inthe town. With

fused to tell how he subsisted in the
woods since last Friday. Neither would

MONEY PROBLEM
HALTS PLANS OF
PARIS OLYMPIC

Paris. June 1-(By A. P.)-The
preparations for holding the 1924
Olympic games in the Colonies
Stadium, which appeared to be pro-
crossing smoothly, struck another
snag today when the French Olym-
pic committee informed Premier
Poincare that a subsidy of 100OO.OOO
francs was insufficient to organize
the games and that the committee
might have to turn over the games
to the international Olympic COM
mittee unless the subsidy was raised
to 100000 francs.
The notice to the premier was sent
after the Olympic committee had
been officially informed that the
finance commission of the Chamber
of Deputies had appropriated only
100000 francs for the games. a.
100000 of which would be advanced
to the Racing club of France in or
der to improve its stadium at Colom-
hes and build a swimming pool. the
amount to be repaid to the govern
ment by the club from gate receipts
of the Olympic games. The other
100000 would be placed to the
credit of the French olympic COM
mitee by the ministry of finance thus
the government would be disbusring
only 100000 francs.
The finance commission of The
Chambe has invited sporting socie
ties and private individuals of
France to subscribe the other 5000
600 francs which the Olympic COM
mitee insists is necessary to organ
ize the games. This is regarded as
discreet invitation by the finance
commission to the city of Paris to
supply the required amount.
Frantz Roichel. secretary general
Of the French Olympic committee
told The Associated Press this eve
ming that the amount voted by the
finance commission was entirely in
adequate and unless the government
raised it to 100000 francs the
Olympic committee would have no
alternative except to inform the in
ternational Olympic committee,
which is to meet here June {, that
the intention to hold the games in
Paris in 1924 had been announced.
