POSSIBLE SURPLUS
IS seen IN BRITAIN
Figures for First Half of Fiscal
Year Show Smallest Deficit
in Years.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, September 30.-The posi-
bility appeared tonight that Neville
Chamberlain, chancellor Of the ex-
cheouer, might have a surplus Tor the
next budget, provided the revenue posi-
tion during the next six months has
no serious setback.
This view was deduced from the fg-
ures for the first half of the financial
year, showing the smallest deficit IN
many years.
Treasury revenues for the first hall
year totaled f275, ,736.842 labout
81 ,296, ,OOO. .000), an increase Of e., ,2O8,-
534 (about 1888, ,000). Expenditures
were 1924, 1927, ,997 (about $1,525 900 .00O i,
a decrease of G48 8,309,776 (about $780,
10000.
Most of the revenue items either
euualed or were better than the budget
estimates.
The efficiency of the new tariffs as
revenue producers was indicated by an
increase in customs during the six
months of $685., 900 1882, ,683, 900 ap-
proximately) over last years figure.
whereas the chancellor had budgeted
for an increase of less than fl,000, 900
for the whole year.
Estate duties. estimated to decrease
e.. .O00,0 900 in the year, already nave
increased f5,250,0 900.
Expenditures also show q substan-
tial saving on the budget estimates.

treasury bills and steady monthly

POLICE CONCENTRATE ON HUNT.
Stolen Car at Greencastle Thought Clue
To Convicts.

INDIANAPOLIS. September 80 |P.-
The State police force was concentrated
today in Central and Southern Indiana
seeking to capture the nine convicts
still at large following last Tuesdays
break from the State prison. James
Clark, the tenth prisoner who escaped,
was captured last night at Hammond.
Apparently authentic reports were
received during the day of movements
of the felons as they sought to evade
the widespread net thrown out to trap
them.
Word was received from Greencastle
that a car stolen last night in Terre
Haute from Frank NJ. Ratcliffe by six
or seven men believed to be the escaped
prisoners, had been abandoned there.
The car was left behind by the men
as they dashed out Of the city in an
other machine.
Ratcliffe is certain that one of the
men who stole his car is Russell Clark,
one of the escaped prisoners.
Meanwhile search was being made
in Brown County for a man who kid
naped Victor Lyle in Indianapolis late
last night and forced Lyle to drive him
to Nashville.

last Spring, President Roosevelt turned
the committees attention to the pri-

Morgan testified he had paid no in

entire tax paid by all Morgan part
ners in those years was $48, 900. He and
his partners gave previously unknown
details about the size and nature of

P.-Six members of the gang which
kidnapped August Luer last July 10 to-
day escaped the electric chair de-
manded by the State. but were con-
victed and sentenced to prison terms
ranging from four years to life.
A Circuit Court jury found that Mrs.
Lillian Chessen, Randol Eugene Norvell
and Percy Michael Fitzgerald should
spend the remainder of their lives in an
Illinois prison.
Lesser members of the gang. includ-
ing Charles Chessen, husband of the
convicted woman, received lighter
terms. Chessen and Christ Nicola Git
cho were sentenced to five years and
atty.
Luer Not in Court.

Members of the jury said they had
agreed to make no formal comment on
their verdicts. It was reliably learned.
however, that it was first agreed that
both Norvell, a professional bondsman
and gambler, and Fitzgerald, former
convict and gambler, should be elec-
trocuted.

Chessen, identified as the finger wom-
an" who pointed out the German

As a compromise it finally was agreed
that all three should be given life prison
terms.
States Attorney L. NJ Geers said that
charges of ''extortion by threat" also
pending against the sextet would be
stricken from the. docket, but with
leave to reinstate.
