DUTCH PAGlFISTS
 CARRY ON WAR
Burn Army Sheds and Break
 Machinery On Ships

Amsterdam, Feb. 27. Isolated outbreaks of anti militarlsm in Hol- land arc occasionally taking a mii- tant form.
 At Spaarndam and Overveen re- gently, army store sheds were set afro, and number of people of anti militaristic tendencies were ar- rested as suspects. This led 70 a big protest meeting of anti-militarists at Santpoort, at which the authori- ties were severely scored for al- legged brutal treatment of the per sons arrested.
 Recently the Marine Wcekblad, naval service weekly, printed q special report from Nillefranchc, France, where the Dutch battlesh1 Tromp was making visit that eX- tensive damage was done to deli cate parts of the machinery in the ships engine room, parts of guns were missing and a red flag was one morning found floating from the gali.
 So far there has been no official confirmation of this report, which remains more or less a mystery, and no further details about it have come to hand.

LEADY MERRY CHASE
1 Detachment Of His Majcsty's Horse Guards Called Out to Round Up q Herd of Deer.

Windsor, Eng, Feb. 27.-A de- tichment of His Majesty's Horse Guards was called ont recently to round up and drive back to the royal preserves in Windsor Park, q herd of deer which had strayed into nearby estate, doing much damage. The guards reached Ascot in the morning and proceeded to sweep the woods, but after several hours work only succeeded in driving one deer Lack to the park. They adjourned operations in tie afternoon.
 About 150 years ago King George III discovered that his deer had left thn royal forest at Windsor and in yadtd the Sunninghiil Lodge estate at Ascot. He ordered the Life Guards to drive them back and they were probably more successful than the present day guards, who found that the deer were able to get through places in the undergrowth where a horse could not.

KELLOGG VISITS
 FRIENDS AT CAPITOL
Talks With BOrah,-Refuses to
 Make Statement

Washington, Feb. 2T-Anlbassa- dor Frank B, Kellogg, the secretary of state designate, who arrived here yesterday from London, made a round of calls on government off cials today during which he renewed acquaintances with former colleagues in the senate and was introduced by Secretary Hughes to the desk he will occupy at the state department be- ginning March 4.
 Mr. Kellogg told the newspaper men that for the timebeing he could make no pronounccment regarding his approaching service in the state department. Pressed for a statc- ment, however, he recalled that he had been member of the American commission to the Santiago confcr- ence and would take with him into the cabinet. a keen interest in the affairs of Latin-America. He insisted he could not comment on European questions.
 T believe that Latiu-Amcrica," MT, Kellogg said. 'prcsynts field where the greatest advancement Can be made. have q vital interest in the relationship Of the American re- publics and stand prepared 10 spon- sor Pan-American conferences and the promotion of those ideals which have been developed both as q result of past conferences like that held in Santiago and by the association in Washington of the diplomatic rep resentativcs of Latin-Amegica."
 One of those with whom Mr Kel- logg talked during his visit to the capitol was Chairman BoTah of the foreign relations committee. During the League Of Nations fight the two had occupied opposing camps, with Senator Borah leader among the irrcconcilablcs and Senator Kellogg leading the mild reservation repub- licans. More recently Senator Borah has taken an active part in question: ing the propriety of the Paris repa- rations agreement which Mr Kel- logg signed. Tine nature of their talk today was not disclosed, but they entered the 6enatc chamber to- Gether, apparently on the best of terms just after the senate met.
 Tho welcome Of the secretary dcs- ignate to his old senate haunts soon developed into an ovation. He was surrounded by republicans and dem ocrats, some Of whose faces were new to him, but many of whom were friends of moro than a decade. Shak- ing hands with two senators at q on the back and calling 10 him on the back and calling 10 oim across the chamber as they came up, he became the center Of gathering that comprised almost all of those on the floor and temporarily stopped the wheels of legislature.
 When the group broke up, Mr, Kellogg recognized Senator Bruce, democrat Maryland, cugrossed in work at his desk and walked the length of the chamber to speak 10 him. The visitor then sought what used to be his favorttc lounge along the rear wall and watched the pro- ceedings, while he chattoJ with late arrivals. He remained at the capitol nearly an hour.

 Indianapolis, Feb. 27,-Sessions of the Indiana senate, blocked for two days by the absence of democratic members who left the state and went to Dayton, Ohio, in an effort to halt action on a Gerrymander bill,a were resumed today when the truants re- turned to their seats.
 Travel worn, but triumphant, the truant senators went back ito Indian apolis with the expressed determin- ation to rapidly catch up in the work confronting the upper chamber of the state legislature.
 It was happy crowd of 14 men who crossed the Indiana line from Ohio last night singing "Back Home happier group when they approached the end of the long motor ride from Dayton to the tune of "The End of Perfect Day"
 Lieutenant Governor Harold Van Orman had remained up and his warm greeting to each member add ed to the confidence that the run aways would not be subject to fine or other action. 1t also strengthen ed their feelings that the congress sional redistributing bill-the cause of their revolt and subsequent flight would not pass.
 The return trip to Indianapolis in the same motor bus in which they made their flight was uncomfortable because of the cold. Singing and joking helped pass the time. Few stops were made and the ride was uneYentful.

The End of a Long Trail.

The usual moral is to be drawn from
the death of George Anderson. known
as Dutch" who was killed by de-
tective Saturday night in Muskegon,
Mich, after long search. A master
criminal, slayer, crook, counterfeiter,
altogether one Of the most dangerous
men in the annals of American crime,
he finally came to the end that is the
fate of the outlaw. 1t was inevitable
that he should die violently in an af-
fray or on the scaffold. He had chal
lenged society and the law, and he suf
fered the penalty of the loss of his
duel, which is the inescapable conse-
quence.
AS far as known the criminal
career of this man began eighteen
years ago, when, at the age Of twenty
seven, he was arrested for picking
pockets. From that time on he was
constantly at odds with che law, ar
rested many times, serving many sen
tences, escaping prison and finally u
fugitive from justice hunted by the
torious crime was that of the robbery
Of a mail truck four years ago with
two companions, one of whom held
public interest more pointedly than
Anderson because of his exceptional
daring and ingenuity in effectinS es-
cape. Gerald Chapman, however, was
probably no more dangerous man
than Anderson. Chapman Is now I'M
der sentence of death for murder. An
derson, fugitive, is believed TO have
been one of the two men who killed
Ben Hance and his wife, who had been
witnesses in Chapman'S final trial
Since their murder in August last An

lie was a marked man. He had many
aliases and DISCUSSES. His capture was
result Of chance. He had passed
counterfeit bill in n candy store at
Muskegon in the course OF his opera
tions with the queer" or imitation
money, and, the police summoned, he
was arrested on suspicion, but before
reaching the station he drew a gun
and shot his captor. In the melee he
was himself killed with his own
weapon.
Thus passes one who has taken at
least three lives, perhaps many more,
who has participated in numerous rob
berries. who has for over eighteen
years been lawbreaker. Had a proper
system of punishment prevailed, based
upon the principle Of protracted i'm
prisonment for habitual criminals. An
derson would have been kept in re

terms, paroles and probations allowed
him TO continue a criminal career for
the better part of two decades. 10 the

Today's Elections.

i year ago the country was in the
throes of a national election which
swept into office Calvin Coolidge as
President of the United States by the
greatest vote ever given any man for
that office. Election day has rolled
around again, but it is only the
shadow of the excitement of 1924
Neither a President nor the Congress
is being chosen at the polls. Only two
governors, in New Jersey and Nir-
ginia, will be elected, and two mem
bers of the House, one In New Jersey
and the other in kentucky, will be
named to fill vacancies caused by
death.
But if the election has little Signiti-
cance from a national political point
of view, it has much meaning in local
and municipal elections. Bitter battle
has been waged in several of the coun
try's greatest cities over the choice of
executives. In New York City, the
greatest metropolis in the world,
where approximately one-fourteenth
of the country's population is congre-
gated the election of city govern
ment is of more than passing interest
Boston. Detroit, Buffalo, indianapolis
and other cities are determining to-
day who shall hold the reins of gov
ernment.
Gov Al Smiths candidate for mayor
of New York, State Senator James j.
Walker, is battling with Frank d.
Waterman. Republican business man.
for the mayorality Of New York.
Throughout the State the voters will
determine whether Coy. Smiths pro
posed constitutional amendments pro
viding for permanent improvements
shall be accepted. and also whether
the Assembly shall continue to be con-
trolled by the Republicans or shall
swing to the Democrats, giving New
York a Democratic Legislature as
we'll as a Democratic governor. The
elections today can scarcely enhance
the popularity of Gov. Smith in or
out of New York. II they go against
the governor, however. it will be a diff

that "Al' is Slipping" in New York.
Unfortunately religious and racial
and the wet and dry issues are play
ing predominant parts in some of the
elections held today. In Detroit. in
Buffalo. in Indianapolis, the Ku klux
Klan and the anti-Klanners are hard
at it. The Democrats on the wet side
and the Republicans on the dry side
are fighting it out in the gubernatorial
election in New Jersey, with the KIan
issue also involved.
While the outcome of the elections
seemingly will have little influence, if
any, on national affairs, the continu-
ance of religious and racial divisions
at the polls promises future trouble
unless the spirit Of tolerance advo-
Gated by President Coolidge in his
address to the American Legion be
comes an actuality.

The Boys Club.

Expansion Of the activities of the
Boys Club of Washington and the
erection of an adequate building, for
which an intensive drive for $250,OOO
is now under way, should meet with
the hearty support of the citizenry of
the city.
Sponsored by two hundred leading
business men of the National Capital,
the campaign to provide suitable play
quarters for underprivileged boys is a
laudable one. Washingtonians who
contribute to this project will have
the satisfaction of knowing that they
are assisting in bringing about the
development of the physical well be-
ing of a large proportion of the youth
of the city.
With the erection OF the new build
ing the club plans to accommodate
from two to three thousand boys.
Even with the inadequate structure
now in use more than six hundred
are supervised in healthful exercise.
Shops, q swimming pool seventy
five feet long, bowling alleys, class
rooms, group rooms, u library, audi
torium and locker rooms will be some
of the features of the new establish
ment. More than 1,500 boys will be
accommodated daily in the swimming
pool, with competent life guards on
duty at all hours. On the roof will
be a screened in playground, which
may be used in inclement weather for
indoor base ball, basket ball, hand
ball and tennis.
The Boys Club of Washington has
now been in existence for four years.
It's popularity and beneficial work
soon caused it to outgrow its quar-
ters, which consist of a partly re-
modelled private residence and a
makeshift gymnasium in the rear
The club Is part of an international
movement which now has $50 clubs
throughout the United States and

president is John Hays Hammond

prosecution with all the means at
their disposal. They have plenty of
money of their own and probably
friends, and thus far unaccused asso-
ciates with much more. They will be
able to put up bail bonds and enjoy
liberty while awaiting the slow devel-
opment of the case. There is no as
surance that they will not continue
their bootlegging. In many cases
heretofore persons accused of liquor
violations have after indictment prac-
ticed their Illicit trade fiagrantly.
The offense charged against these
men is punishable by prison term OF
two years and a fine of $4,000. The
fines are of no moment to those who
are engaged in the liquor traffic. They
can well afford to pay them. Prison
terms, however, are another matter.
If these men are guilty they should be
given the maximum sentences of inn
prisonment.
