ATLANTA CONVICT
 IS RECAPTURED
Taken at Tuxedo, N. Was
 Pal of Chapman

Tuxedo, N. r., April a4.-LudwiG Schmidt, alias Dutch Louie." who is in . Tuxedo hospital as the result of . gunshot wound received in an at tempted freight train robbery recent ly, has been identified by Captain Day ton of the Erie railroad police as the man who, with George Anderson, a confederate of Gerald Chapman, es- caped fro mthe federal penitcntiars at Atlanta, Ga, in December l923. The prisoner, according to the Tuxedo po- lice, admits that he is the escaped convict.
 Schmidt was serving ten years for the hold-up of a mail truck at Ma gara Falls when he escaped. He was one of four who had a pistol battle with an Erie railroad operative at Newburgh Junction last Wednesday night when they were surprised breaking into freight car. His com panions escaped in an automobile.
 Ludwig Schmidt, alias Dutch Louie, was serving 10-year term at Atlanta for a s5o,000 mail truck robbery at Niagara Falls. N. Y, in 1921, when
  Gerald Chapman, WAS serving 25- year term for robbing mail truck here of s1,5oo,0o0 in securities, cash and jeweiry in 1922. Chapman es- esped in March, 1928, nine months before Schmidt, and Anderson got away.
 When Schmidt was taken to the Tuxedo hospital with three wounds, enc in the back, another in the ankle and a third which entered his hip pocket and lodged in a pair of silk gloves, doing little harm, the prisoner said he had never been arrested be- fore, and charges of felonious assault and attempted robbery of freight car were prepared. When his finger prints were taken 1t was noticed they were very similar to Schmidts as shown by postoffice circulars, d. though. differing in one unit. Charles H. Clarahan, chief postoftice inspee- tor of the New York division, and h. spector Shea. who knew Schmidt, were called to Tuxedo.
 Gripping schmidt's hand Shea pried open his thumb and first finger and
 
 a small American fag tattoed between the two. About eight inches up the wrist Shea found the other distin- gushing mark, the figure Of wom- an tattooed there with a small Ger man nag beneath. When he accused the wounded prisoner Of being the EiaEara Falls mail robber, Schmidt admitted the fact.
 Inspector clarahan notified the warden of the Atlanta pcnitentiary, and keepers are expected to come soon to take charge of the prisoner. Schmidt told Inspector Shea that he and Anderson parted at Savannah, Ga. He refused to tell how he and Anderson escaped or how Chapman snd Gray made their getaway.

WARM PRAISE EXPRESSED
 FOR AMERICAN ASSISTANCE
French Member Of Olympic Commit. tee Appreciates Spirit shown
 by United States.

Paris, April 24.-Warm praise for the American spirit of cooperation in making the Olympic games a suc- cess was expressed by Marquis Mel chior de Polignac, French member ol the International Olympic committed and commissioner of foreign rela- tions for the French Olympic con- mittee, in an address before the American club there is no other country in the world The said, lin which the Olympic idea has been de- yeloped 10 such an extent as in the United States. It is thanks to the cooperation of the United States that Baron Pierre de Coubertin was able in 1894 10 achieve the revival Of the Olympic games, ending in the com petition in Athens in 1S96. Ii was because of the participation Of the United States at Athens that other countries followed suit.
 This year the United States has made it a point to be represented in every event of the Olympic calendar, even those sports in which the rank and file of the American nation is not keenly interested and in which the American athletes do not practice with regularity, such as European rugby and association football The Olympic effort which the United States is making is tremendous but we have made up our minds to fight them every inch of the way for the Olympic honors.
 If, as it is said. the United States loves fighter, they will simply wor- ship France after the Olympic games"

BY Harry b. Hunt
NEA Service Writer

New York, July 14.-Political bos-
ses are human sort of folks. despite
all the mean things that are said
about them.
Doubtless it is the human element
in their composition that wins them
the following which enables them to
be bosses. For the successful boss
rules through the loyal aduMtion Of
his henchmen rather than by fear.
Take George Brennan, car of the
rampant Democracy of Chicago.
Brennan, big-bodied, bigfisted,
stomping about on his wooden leg,
might double for piratical John
Silver. His bushy eyebrows have u
way of cooking themselves slantwise
that alone is quite terrifying. And
his voice, swelling from his barrel
like chest, rumblcs like the wrath Of
Jehovah.
All Of which fits into a proper
picture of political boss. But there
is a benignant, paternal, kindly side
to Brennan that quite bellies his
title and his looks.
One of his young ward workers
in an outlying district OF Chicago,
who had been doing heoric work for
the organization in I; subordinate ca
pacity until a few years ago, found
this out quite to his surprise.
He had his eyes on the position of
ward leadership, which he felt he
had won by his efforts. So he mus
tered up courage to go and tell Brcn-
nan about it.
He found Brennan in and proceo d.
ed to state his case. He told what
he had done and what be believed
he could do in the future.
Brennan listened without Il word,
his hands claspcd across his stem
ach, his teeth clamped in the butt
of black cigar, his eyebrows cooked
at their most disconcerting angle.
When the budding politician had
finished, Brennan grunted and sat
silent, putting clouds of thick smoke.
$50 you want to be ward boss, ell ?
Nothing doing!"
The young man started to protest
but was stopped by laundering
"Shut up!"
ono, tPll not make you ward
boss!" Brennan shouted. 81 should
say not"
Then dropping his voice to Il
burbling rumble, he continued.
"I'm going to send you to Con-
gress."
And he did.
A somewhat different sort of
boss is Tom Taggart of In
diana.
Tom is more polished in appear
ance and method than Brennan. lie

is more of the diplomat and less of
the bull-dozcr.
Having been, by appointment, in
the United States senate for time,
Tom acquired the dignificd title Of
Senator" which he still wears.
Senator" Taggart, you will notice,
sounds much more gcntcel than
"Boss" Brennan.
In addition to being the political
boss of Hoosier Democrats, Tom is
Il hotel keeper. In fact, being 4
hotel keeper probably enabled him
to become boss. For Toms old
Grand Hotel in indianapolis, and his
resort hotel at French Lick, being
favorte foregathering places for
politicians, first enabled Tom to get
- peep at how the political wheels
went round and to try his hand at
spinning them occasionally.
Down at French Lick Springs,
Toms hotel is surrounded by
spacious grounds, and folks of
wealth and fashion go there to play
golf and drink, mineral water. Tom
maintains several families of tame
squirrels.
ITO keep the nuts away" he ex-
plains.
One millionaire visitor, who coaXcd
one of these pets within reach,
thought it good joke to give j. a
rap with his cane. When Taggart
heard of it he was furious. He or
dered the guest away and warned
him never to come back. Refusing
all apologies, he gave the fellow a
lecture that should have been pre-
served as a classic for the Society
for Prevention Of Cruelty to Ami
