The youths took the car from the

start it, and started on a wild ride
out of the city.
Byers saw the machine approach
ing at a rapid speed and thought it
was driverless. He was unable to
prevent the collision.
The boys leaped from the stolen
car unhart and fled. Later they.
were captured by officers, who are
endeavoring to learn their identity.
They will be arraigned before JUS

Uncle Sam, in person, will pre-
sent the $25 reward to each of the
holders of lucky "two-spots.

twenty years. He will show his
patriotism in this campaign by
donating his services as Uncle
Sam each day to award the $25
bonuses to the holders of lucky
"two-spots.
Remember that the number
of the first lucky 81 bill will

Reduction of the District bud
get for the fiscal year 1926-27 to.
approximately $S6,25O,OOO. the
limit fixed by the director of the
budget, was virtually accomplished
at a conference of the Commits
sioners today.
The speed with which the city
heads worked was a record in
estimate slashing and puts them
in a position to place the COM
pleted budget in the hands of
Director Lord sooner than the
time fixed for presentation of the
estimated District needs. The bud
get was to have been finished by
September /.
PAIRING Is General
While officials as usual declined
to discuss what they did, it is
known that they followed a policy
of distributing the eliminations over
the entire e Inmates. No particu-
lar department was made to suffer
for the demand made by the direc-
tor of the budget that the total be
cut from 500 200, 900 to sac, $50, 900
Even the school estimates, it
was learned, will not suffer dis
proportionately to ~ remainder
of the estimates. The school esti-
mates differ from others in that a
large sum Is asked for construction,
while many other departments of
the District ask almost entirely for
maintenance items. All items cut
from the school estimates are
known to have been included in the
supplemental estimates. This indi.
Gates that the supplemental esti-
mates will total about $4,000, 900.

vince Congress that some of the

all the items in the supplemental
budget be kept out of the final

NEW YORK, Aug. IA let
ter alleged to have been written
by Anderson has been received
BY the Evening Journal.
It came In an envelope post
marked Springfield" and was
dated Sunday August 16, read as
follows:
Editor, New York Journal:
Just say for me have made
my getaway and reached the
East o. X. and am here to per
sOnaIIy9 thank some Of those kind
witnesses who helped hang my
friend Chapman. / don't mean

MUNCIE, Ind, Aug. 17.-Vir-
tually all hope of capturing
George (Dutch) Anderson, sought
for the Sayings of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ben Hance here last Friday, in
this region was abandoned today
although police continued their
search for the elusive escaped
convict.
Anderson is enroute to Florida
where he has a rendezvous in the
everglades, according to Earl
Randolph, police chief.
Others expressed the belief that
Anderson is lurking within strik-
ing distance of the Connecticut
State prison with the hope of eff
fecting the escape of Gerald Chap
man, whom he supposedly avenged
by killing Hance and his wife.
Hunted BY Big Force
Throughout the night police, aid
ed by outside officers believed to
include Department of Justice
agents, and private detectives, mem
bers of the intelligence service of
the United States Army, and other
skilled sleuths, followed every SEM
bIance of a clue that might lead
to Anderson's hiding place.
Considerable maneuvering was
done about corn field where
Anderson and several of his gang
were believed hiding. When the
officers finally closed in on the
field they found a deserted camp
winch, according TO pO1lCes AHucI-
son and his companion occupied
Friday night after the killings.
Charles "one-arm' Wolfe, held in
connection with the shooting since
Friday, was still in custody today
although police admitted the evil
dence against him was rapidly wan
ing.
Wolfe, still doggedly denying
knowledge of the shooting, main
tained a stolid reticence, but his
.orney repeatedly declared Wolfe
mas an unimpeachable alibi.
Several prominent Muncie resi-
dents, it was said, are ready to
testify that Wolfe was conversing
with them miles from the scene Of
the shooting when Hance and his
wife were killed.
The formal inquest into the muir.
ders was started this morning at
the Muncie police station while the
Hance children prepared for the
funeral and burial tomorrow of the
slain couple. who paid 'the toll ex-
