BY NEA Service

New York, April 70 Gerald Chap
man, notorious million dollar mai
robber,' who has startled the :.ation
by his two spectacular escapes from
custody in Georgia, is hiding near
his old haunts in New York, say
older members of the metropolitan
detective force.
They do not believe the criminal,
whose daring flights have put him
in the position formerly occupied by
Roy Gardner, Pacific coast bandit,
has fled to the mountains of North
Carolina. as Georgia authorities at
first believed.
Chapman was sentenced to the
federal penitentiary at Atlanta, Ca,
after he had been convicted of be-
ing the leader of the $l,OOO,0OO mail
robbery her in 1921.
Early on the morning of March 27
Chapman and Frank Grey, convicted
forger, escaped from the peniten-
tiary. They cut the wires supply
ing electric lights for the prison yard
and, under cover of the darkness,
scaled the prison wall by means of
rope ladder, supplied by friends out
side.
Menaccs Citizen
When citizen refused to aid
Chapman in his flight, Chapman
forced him at the point of an auto
matte pistol to accompany him on a
street car and to pay his fare.
Chapman, however, was recap
tured, after he had been shot three
times. He was placed in a hospital
at Atlanta, Ga, under heavy guard,
Doctors said his condition was so
serious that an escape would be i'm
possible.
But Chapman fooled them. He
dressed in his guards clothes,
knotted his bed sheet into rope
and, while his temperature was 1T
100 degrees. climbed to the ground
and fled.
A nationwide dragnet has failed
to locate him.

STATE REYELS
IN CASH FROM
TAX PAYMENTS
Total Balance of State Treas.
urer Is Shown to be Over
$5,OOO,OOO
PAYMENTS ARE BETTER
Tax Collections During Month
of March Million Above
Year Ago
PAYMENTS ARE BETTER

With tax collections during March
topping those of the same month a
year ago by nearly 81 100000 and
the biggest balance on hand since
the two-payment tax plan was adopt
cd. the state of North Dakota is
strong on ready cash, according to
"a statement issued today by State
Treasurer John Steen.
The balance in the state treasury.
hgued as of April |, is $5,3OS, SO4. SO
compared to S3,S12,595.O2 on the
same date year ago.
Tax collections during the month
ending April were $3.159,44S.29 as
compared to S2.l63 ,O64S9 for the
same period year ago.
The total amount of taxes for the
last year RENTED to the state trca-
surer amounted to SLOTS, 49364. or
ga percent of the total, as compar-
ed to 1894 ,755.52 or l8 percent of the
total. the treasurer's books show.
State officials are particularly i'm
pressed with the heavy receipts of
taxes during the months of Fcbru-
airy ana March, the situation at
present being far better than in the
last few years. and with remittances
O. collections yet to be made by
county treasurers, they feel that
the percentage of the total due on
the first payment of taxes will far
exceed last year.
The balance Of $5.30S, 804.82 for
the year included $4,l78,4O7.l3 in
the general fund and $l,13O,3 go
in the Workmen's Compensation
Bureau Fund. This is compared to
$2,s45,6S5.O7 in the general fund and
$996,9l0.0l in the Workmen's Com
Fund on the same date
last year.
During the month ending April l,
however, the state treasurer paid
out $2,l43,06O.67 and other payments
to be made in the near future will
eat up most of the general fund.
The increase in tax receipts is
not due to an increase in taxes, the
treasurer said. The tax rate for
last year was higher but the total
valuation was lower, and the per-
centage figures show the improv.
ment in tax payment conditions.

BAR TO FIGHT
UNDERMINING
OF BASIC LAW
Judge Fish, President of State
Bar Association, Out
lines Plan

Minot. N. D., April l2.-"New and
strange doctrines, bolshevistic, which
threaten to undermine the basic law
of the land are abroad in this coun-
try of Freedom" declares Judge C.
}. Fisk of Minot, president of tn.
state bar association, "and the Amer
lean Bar Association champion of
the long established American in
stitution of constitutional govern
ment, is sounding the call to meet
the insidiOus propaganda of foreign
political cults which would create
doubt in the very principles on
which the greatest republic was
founded"
1.-THE battle against the evils Of
radical thinkers who would destroy
the American Bill Of Rights with
out offering even Il substitute in
strument will not be waged with
arms and bloodshed, but with the
dissemination of accurate informa-
ton regarding the ancient land
mark of government which is the
object of assault" he continued.
THE protection of the ideals estab-
lished by the founders of the ma
ton will be accomplished through
exposing the falsity of the bomba rd-
ment of iticism' leveled at the Con-
stitution.
"The teaching of citizenship, what
it means, what it offers, and what
it needs to be most valuable, will be
the chief weapon with which the as
ISOLATION will meet the attack, and
for that purpose the bar Of America
is arranging, through the Committee
of American Citizenship, series of
three community programs to be ON
served on three successive, national
holidays-Patriots day, April 10;
Decoration day, May 80; and indie
pendence day, July a."
The members of the bar, national
and state, are summoned to the
cause by r. +. !. Saner, chairman
of the national citizenship commit
tee, who urges that the three days
be made occasions for reinforcing
lessons in citizenship which all re-
cognize are needed at the present
time"

NATIONAL BUSINESS W0MEN'S CLUBS
HEAD TO VISIT NORTH DAKOTA SOON
Mrs. Lena Lake Forrest, Com
ing to Attend State Con-
ventiOn, Has Had Marked
Success Both in Business
and in Forwarding the In
tereSts of the Club S
Throughout the Country.

Mrs. Lena Lake Forrest, President
Of the National Federation of Bust
ness and Professional Women, Inc,
who will visit North and South Da-
kota, Iowa, Nebraska and Wiscon-
sin, in her official capacity this
spring, is one of the outstanding
figures among the progrc sive wo-
men of the world. Under her wis .
and careful guidance, the National
Federation has sprung in four short
years, from ne~ and untried or
ganiZati0n to one OF the foremost
women groups in the country, known
and respected in every state. M.s.
Forrest will attend the state con-
vention of Business and Professions
al Women's club in jamestown
May II and IL.
Mrs. Forrcstis an insurance brok-
er, and has a keen insight into the
problems of all business women
Added to this. she has the courage
of her conviction-a sure vision
and the ability to carry through any
plan that the leaders of her organ
ization may decide upon. II is
largely owing to her organization
genius that the National Federation
has grown so swiftly and yet so
surely. Each year she has take.
the time for long trips among the
clubs, giving much of her strength,
her time and her talents for en-.
couraging and bringing out ofIni.
cation development among the
younger business women. Her views
on education were responsible for
the wonderful Educational program
which is being put over by the Fed
Grafton this year.
"The Educational program which
has been adopted by our organiza-
tion." she points out" is the broad
est in scope of any educational pro-
gram in the country and is the on
~ one that has known no criticism.
from press or pulpit. 1t calls tor n
higher standard for commercial and
business schools and they are usual
~ glad to cooperate with US. Fo.
inefficient education is the curse of
our era. We cannot expect good
business judgment to be used byI
girls who come from our eighth
grade schools--they must be taught
correctly for their business cxpcr
fence"
Mrs. Forrest believes not only IL,
High School education, but in a.
college course where possible. To-
ward this end, she encourages the
foundation of Loan Scholarships in
every club. from which young wo- |
men may borrow sufficient to put
them through college, if necessary.
In many clubs this has already been
established.
