wool, are the principal items of the
cost of cloths and clothing. Wool
costs, even at today's higher. prices,
is a minor item. The greatest item
of expense to the consumer can be,
no doubt, laid at the door of distribu-
ton. This not only applies to clothes
and clothing, but to meat and many
commodities that finally reach the ul-
innate consumer at prices which cause
dissatisfaction.
Nearing Russian Style
There has grown up a tendency,
especially during and since the war,
toward bureaucratic power and gov

self into the private affairs of the
states and of individuals to an extent
which rapidly is approaching the con-
ditions which exist IN Russia. Blu
reaucrats have received or have TAX

over the property Of individuals and
states, which, to say the least, con-
stitute a great danger. Therefore,
we are inclined to question the wis

mission OF any other commission, other
than congress, the power to arbitrar-

opportunities of individuals. Even
congress is limited in this respect by
the constitution"
In line with this argument, Mr.
Hagenbarth proposed that the tariff
commission should be a fact finding

World Wool Shortage

There is likewise a world sheep
and wool shortage. The sheep short
age has been estimated v~ariously
from 100000 to $4,000, 900. Al
though the consumptive and purchas-
ing power of Europe has Iessened,
new avenues of use have developed.
Japan and China are using fine Mer-
inc woods to such an extent that ia
pan alone is consuming over 100, 000,-
900 pounds more Of these woods than
during pre-war days. The coastal
regions of New Zealand, Australia
and the Argentine are steadily de-
clining in wool production and in
creasing in cattle, both for beef and
dairy.
"In the United States range sheep
production in the future will increase
in Colorado, Wyoming, Washington
and Montana there will be a gen.
eral increase in western farms as we'll
as in the fleece-producing sections of
the east. In seven or eight years the
sheep census in the United States, un-
der a suitable and continued tariff
policy, will increase to $4,000, 900
.heed, which will produce 100000
pounds Of wool.
Education Plan Dropped
W Aa?c attempted in the past to
educate the public to q greater use
of lamb in the daily diet. However,
financial support for this work has
not been Forthcoming and it had to
be abandoned. In certain cities in
Iowa and Minnesota we have at lit
tie cost increased the consumption of
lamb from 200 to 600 per cent"
Discussing the tariff provisions re
lating to wool, Mr.. Hagenbarth said:
"The production Of sheep and the
growing of wool in the United States
is an economic necessity, but unfor-
tunately, owing to the American stan
dard of living and American scale Of
wages wool cannot for some years t.
come at least, be successfully pro
duced in this country on a competitive
basis with foreign woods. We havr
neither the natural advantages, tn
cheap labor, the fostering governmen.
nor certain other advantages, CLIMATE
and otherwise, which the foreigner en-
joys. Therefore, if we are to produc
sheep and wool in this country a pro
tective tariff is necessary.

Color Of personality is as definitely
lacking from Chapman as from the
mysterious MAN of the Iron Mask
to whom he has been likened. He
suggests nothing of the Dick Turpin
type, or even of the recent wild
west Roy Gardner
He looks an intellectual business
man, the impression being warped
by his oddly shaped head. His fore
head falls back sharply from his

CHAPMAN, NOTORIOUS BANDIT, ON TRIAL
STORY OF
TWO BOYS
How a Frail Little Choir Boy
Became Il Desperate, Trap
ped by Jolly Fat Boy Who
Became Detective
BY GENE COIN
NEA Service Writer.

Hartford, Conn, March 3l.-Two
boys were just reaching the long
trousers age a score of years ago,
one here and one in New York.
The one here, Eddie Hickey, was
merely good -humored fat boy and
nobody expected anything of him.
1he other, Jerry Chapman, fr.'il
and undernourished, was, Il dih8eht
student and devout little choir
boy. His family hoped 1ondly that
he might become u clergyman and "a
power for righteousness.
They face one another all day long
now in the courtroom, principals IN
the years greatest criminal trial,
the fat boy who amounted to some
thing and the good boy who became
Il bandit.
The fat boy, still fat, still smil-
ing, hair parted i'm the middle, dry
cigar gripped gently in his teeth,
chair tilted back, is enjoying mis-
role in the excitement. He is Edward
w. Hickey, county detective, who
found the address on the express
tag which led to the arrest in Mum
Gle, Ind, Of the dread Gerald Chap
man.
The anaemic one, still anaemic,
studious- looking, hawk beaked, SIMS
ter and hunted, is Chapman himself.
This fadedout, blue-eyed little man,
with gray streaks in his hair and a
limp to his walk, is tense as wild
animal at bay. He sits in cage, a
tribute to his reputation as mas
ter mind and desperate, manaled gro
tesuuely and surrounded by armed
guards.
Chapman has never told what hap
pened to alter his life's course when
he was about Is. Perhaps it was a
girl. Perhaps 1T was some scrape at
school. Anyhow he quit his classes:
He resented nearly everything, and
particularly the health of the young
bruisers he went with. He began to
realize he must get along by MS
wits. ,
When he was 10 he was arrested
on his first "jOb," small larceny
case. He served two years in the
penitentiary, and the sentence SEEM
ed to have done him good.
When he got out kindly Oil COM
pany official, William Hertz, gave
him "a chance. He had him taught
typewriting and pointed out future
of responsibility. But offices irked
Chapman and he went out as street
car conductor in the Bronx.
And then the finishing stroke turn

Dog Den Hill. He made three night
camps in what is now known as Bur-
leigh County, but they have not been
identified.
In 1865 Sully crossed overland
from Fl. Rice to Devils Lake and pro-
badly passed near his old camp of
1868 on Long Lake, thence north
past Sterling and on to the north
east. No landmarks on his trail have
been identified, as his camp sites
were not fortified and he has left no

Sibley Island Named
Sibley Island also has some fas-
cinating history connected with its
name. .'Assinaboine" or Burnt
Boat" it was also called, from the
burning of the steamer Assinaboine
on June l, 1888, aboard which was
Macmillan, Prince Of Weld, with
valuable collections, much Of which
was destroyed by fire. The old
name, Assinaboine, was dropped and
the name, Sibley. picked up after
the latter drove the Indians over the
river near Point Pleasant. 1t is pro-
bable that the Indians made their
way over the river at various points
from the mouth Of Burnt Creek to
Sibley Island.
Burnt Creek. Mr.. Wright's account
points out, is sometimes confused
with the name Burnt Boat Island
from the burning Of the machinaw
boat on the sand bar at the mouth
Of Burnt Creek by Indians in Aug
ust, 1868, shortly after Sibley had
left the river and returned east. This
boat was carrying party of miners
from the gold mines in western Mon
tana to the lower Missouri. They
were attacked and all killed short
distance above the site of the rail
road bridge.

boarded GOLD
WOULD AID IN
FIR INCH FINANCE

Paris, March 3l.--Accordng to
conservative estimates there are two
billion francs in gold coins hidden
away in the traditional "old stock
ing" of the French people, and if
France had this hidden gold at it's
disposal the cOuntry's financial sit
uatiOn would be distinctly improved.
Every kind Of appeal but one has
been made to induce the holders to
let the state have their boarded
coins, and during the war much was
recuperated under patriotic influ-
ences.
What remains seems to form an
unattainable residue as far as the
state is concerned. Every now and
then. however, cases come before the
courts wherein people are condemn
ed for going round the country buy
ing up 20 franc pieces, which they
induce the hoarders to surrender in
return for from 40 to 80 francs.
Their real value is more like 70
francs, but this traffic is illegal and
dealers in it need high rates Of pro-
fit
Jose Thery, financial writer, is
advising the state to offer enough
paper for gold to bring out this two
billion. Theoreticians, he says, will
be shocked at. the idea of the state
admitting its 2O-franc gold coin is
worth more than its 2O-franc bill.
The humblest field .laborer knows
this, so what harm can the states
admission do? he asks.

QUEER
Politicians keep whispering that
there was something queer about the
Senate's rejection OF Charles 3. War
rem as attorney general.
1t will be recalled that Warren
would have been confirmed if Vice
President Dawes had been on hand
to break the first tie vote.
Why wasn't he on hand? He was
taking a nap at his hotel. Yes, but
why was he taking nap at so
critical a time?
1t seems as if it was careless Of
him. 1t also seems as if it was care
less of the Republican Senate man.
ayers.
Usually they have all their forces
available when close vote is ahead.
The party machinery works pretty
efficiently. What made it slip just
then?
JUST A GUESS
Only guess is possible but there's
some circumstantial evidence to base
that guess on.
President Coolidge, though con-
sentative, is not much in sympathy
with the old-time stand pat Repub
lican leaders and has taken good
deal of their party authority away
from them.
AS his senatorial TRUSTEES he has
little group Of new men, not yet
we'll trained in the parliamentary
game.
Isn't it possible that the old-tim-
ers, disgruntled at being supplanted,
simply sat back and let the youngs
tiers mismanage for the president?
Possibly it's also significant that
Charles b. Warren cast the only
Michigan vote against Dawes for
vention.
TEACHING HIM
Further. after going through War
ren's record with fine tooth comb
to find reasons for turning him
down, the Senate approved John c.
Sargent for attorney general with
no investigation at all.
Not, probably. that there was
anything to be found out to his dis
advantage, but he was a corporation
lawyer, which was all anybody ever
charged against Warren.
So the politicians impression very
generally is that the old-line Repub-
licans were trying to teach the pre-
sident how to take a joke.
PROHIBITION
President Coolidge admits that
prohibition can't be made effective
in communities which prefer to be
wet.
That is to say, he said federal
agents can't suppress liquor retail
ing-it must be left to state and
city officials to do.
He argues that the federal agents
job is to prevent smuggling and
illegal Withdrawals from govern
ment warehouses, but that there
can't possibly be enough of them to
stop small-quantity sales-that's a
task for sheriffs and policemen.
And everybody knows they won't
attend to it if the people they live
among don't want them to.

The Bradley Theatre is offering its patrons Sunday and Monday George Fitzmaurice's latest First Naional picture. The Dark Angel, presented by Samuel Goldwyn.
 "The Dark Angel is easily one of the most captivating of the many sue cesses to the credit of Fitzmaurice. IL is a modern love story replete with thrills and lavishness.
 The leading man role, that of Hi lary Trent, is in the hands of Ronald Colman. who is seen at his very best in this military role Opposite him in this. his first American screen play, is Wilma Banky, the fascinating ar- tiste recently brought from Budapest by Samuel Goldwyn under long term contract. Her beauty, grace and high order of dramatic talent are unques' toned, and Fitzmaurice has given her wonderful opportunities to display these qualities to the best advantage. As Kitty Nane she awakens keen sympathy for the role and easily prov es herself young emotional actress of the first rank.
