j. s. AGENTS ON
KARP|S TRAIL

AURORA, Ill.,, Feb. 8 UN.S).
A force of 80 Federal agents to-
day combed Northern Illinois for
mysterious fugitive, described
only as "a desperate character"
who flung a stein of beer in the
face of a Government operative in
a Yorkville (Il.) barroom and
escaped.
Although Department of Justice
men refused to disclose the fugi-
tive's identity witnesses said he
answered the description of Alvin
Karpis, current public enemy No.
! and indicted leader of the gang
that kidnapped Edward Bremen, st.
Paul banker, for 100000 ransom.
Federal officials denied he was
Karpis.
The thoroughness with which
the Government spread its drag
net here and in surrounding towns
gave evidence of the fugitive's i'm
portance.
Justice Department operatives
at first said the man was Jess
Doyle, member of the Karpis gang
wanted in the Bremen kidnapping.
It was later ascertained Doyle was
captured yesterday at Pittsburgh,
Kan.
Ulaced aboard an airplane at
Kansas City, Mo-, the mysterious
prisoner was being returned to
Chicago in custody of two agents
late yesterday. The plane made
a forced landing near Yorkville.
The two agents unmanacled
their prisoner and took him to a
hotel where the barroom escape
occurred while one agent was tele-
phoning.

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-"Japan

ically and politically"
Senator Ernest w. Gibson, Of
Vermont, made this statement on
his arrival aboard the United

one of a senatorial committee
which visited the Philippines to
study the procedure of Philippine
independence.
Senator Millard E. Tydings, Of
Maryland, chairman of the delega.
tion, and Senator Kenneth Nc
Kellar, of Tennessee, another
member, also returned on the
Washington.
Tydings Cautious
While declining to join in the
prediction Of Senator Gibson re-
specting Japan, Senator Tydings
said:
1--WE are naturally concerned
that after SO many years with
us. the Philippines should strike
out for independence without
the support Of the United
States.
'The thought has come to
me that it may not be as fruit
iul of results rs they think it
will"
HOPES FOR CHANGE
Senator McKellar said:
II hope the Philippines will
ask for a modification Of the
TydingS independence bill. The
United States should retain SOW.
ereignty, control Of the national
defense, tariff and immigration,
yet at the same time give the
Philippines complete seH-govern.
