BOARD 0F EDUCATION
 WOULD RETAIN LAND
Objection Expressed to Transfer For Fifth
 Ward Park

A proposed transfer of land near the Washington school from the school department to the park board for park purposes Is likely to meet strenuous opposition, and the feeling in municipal circles today is that the transfer will not be effect ed.
 Alderman Stanley Karpinski and Councilman F. A. CirZysbowski, both of the fifth ward. are the signcrs of q resolution adopted by the council at it's last meeting, asking for the appointment of committee to con- fer with the park board relative to the transfer.
 When the CarmOdy tract on Washington street, the plot under discussion, was purchased, the en- tire tract was bought because of the attractive price named. There is considerable acreage not needed for immediate school requirements. Chairman Joseph NJ. Halloran of the committee on school accommo- dations said today his committee heard runOr of a proposed transfer, but that 1t had never reached pro- portions to warrant official c0nsid- oration. He said he would be agree able to plan whereby the park department might use the land as d recreation ground with the under standing that, should there be need for another school site, it would revert back 10 the school commit tee. Other members Of the school board arc undcrst ood to be of like mind. Chairman Patrick r. King of the board is said 10 be unqualiticdly opposed to the transfer at this time, but as he is out of the city could not be reached for statement.

BELGIAN PRESS HITS

Promises Void, Wilson's Signature But "a
 Scrap of Paper"

Brussels, Aug. 17 Pl-Anger and bitterness continue to mark the comments of the Belgian press on the conference at Washington be- tween the American war debt fund ing commission and the Belgian mission,
 The optimistic tone ofsemi-official statements made in Brussels before the conference, which encouraged the hope that favorable conditions would be made for the payment of Belgium's debt to the United States, is resented as having misled public opinion.
 The Nation Beige says that prom ises have been broken and that Pres ident Wilson's signature has become scrap of paper.
 The Ningtieme Steele, commenting on the suggestion of French news papers that Belgium and France form a united front for the solution of their war debt problems, says that everything must be tried to pre- won't Belgium being put under H. uancial guarandianship, as Is threat ened by the debt terms offered by the United States. This must be done, the newspaper says, without losing sight of the fact that special promises were made to Belgium in regard torclieving her of her war debt liabilities.
 The Midi says that Americas at titude In regard to the debt question i is cynical and that President Cool 1 idge is in the hands of Wall Street,
 The Gazette, recalling the speech of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon in which he referred 10 the neces- sity of respecting the integrity of in- ternational obligations, calls upon
 the Belgian delegates at Washington
 to demand respect for the interna- tional obligations assumed by Presi- dent Wilson in the name of the United States.

"Hot Tip" Sends Heav- lily Armed Posse To Isolated Farmhouse But After Short Siege Desperate Is Found To Have Escaped.
"One Arm" Wolfe, Held as Alleged Accomplice in Staying, Steadfastly Re- fuses to Answer Ques- tiOns
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Muncie, Ind, Aug, 17--George CDutch'D Anderson, mail robber, jail breaker and pal of Gerald Chan man, today still was being hunted Tor his latest crime-the slavine of Ben Hance, and his wife, who in- formed on Chapman.
 Anderson, who eluded scores of federal officers, private detectives and police departments of the entire country since he escaped from the federal penitentiary at Atlanta near ly a year ago, has been reported seen numerous times. The police raid the place, Anderson is missing. Anderson is wanted by the government to con- plete 2O-year sentence for robbing mail truck on the street of New York.
 "Hot Tip" is Futile.
 Last night police received a "hot tip" that Anderson was hiding in a farm house between Muncie and Hartford City, Indiana. Armed with riot guns several squads of police closed in on the place. but after a complete search of the place Ander- son, as usual, was missing.
 Hance, police say, has paid with his life because he violated the un- written code of the underworld in "squealing" on Chapman. As a re- 1 suit of Hance's information last Jan- uary, Chapman was arrested here and, with the help of the formers testimony, he was convicted Of the murder of Patrolman James Skelly of the New Britain, Conn.,, police de- partment during the hodup Of a ] mercantile establishment. Chapman Is now being held in the Connecticut penitentiary under death sentence for the murder of the officer.
 That Hance and his wife feared they would be killed for informing on Chapman was plainly evident and several times Mrs. Hance called on police for protection. saying her home was being watched.
 Inquest Postponed.
 A coroner's inquest scheduled for today, officers say, will be indefinite ly postponed to give police and fed eral operatives, who are assisting in the search, more time to hunt the slayer and to gather evidence.
