These six will compete for the school championship and The Evening Star's school prize of $100, on April 21 The great interest which has been aroused in the contest in Western High School has been due in no small degree to the committee working un- der the direction of Miss .

EVANS' Mail Robberies End in Disaster, Statistics for Five Years Prove Criminals Almost Certain of Capture—Chapman Typical Example of Those Who Have Tried to Hold Up BY CHARLES FORRES By the Consolidated Press Association Postmaster General New today made public statistics emphasizing the fact—of which Gerald® Chapman, the spetacular outlaw now awaiting 'the hangman's a Connecticut prison, is a living testimonial—that it doesn't pay to monkey with the United States mail Widely heralded as he has been as the “super bandit’—a man of extraor- dinary daring and intelligence— even Chapman was no match for the guardians of the malls. His goose was cooked that October day, back in 1922, when he and a companion held up a mail truck in lower Broadway, New York, and rified it of $1,345,000 in currency, jewelry and securities. Mail Robbery Downfall. The crime for which he has been condemned to hang was not a mail robbery. But it was the work of postal inspectors, who had camped on his trail since the daring New York mail robbery, that landed him behind the bars. And If he escaped the noose in Connecticut, Federal authorities will be waiting to take him to At- lanta, where a 20-year “hitch” for the mail robbery awaits him With Chapman In mind, the Post- master General was asked to make available statistics showidg just how many mail robberies there have been in recent years, and how much, or how little comfort the mail thieves got out of their stolen mililons. The reply was a list of 58 cases which have occurred in the almost five fiscal years begining July 1, 1920. In these 38 cases, the bandits made away with $13,462,064, which had been intrusted to Uncle Sam. But they did not keep it. The figures show that in 34 of the 58 causes arrests were made and part or all of the loot re- captured. The total amount recover- ed was 38,556,659, or 63.5 per ¢ all that had been, stolen. Million Dollar Jobp. Generally speaking, the greater the robbery the greater the per- of recovery. Among the 58 cases listed, 5 stand out as “mii- Jion-dollar jobs." They are the Dal- las, Tex., post office station holdup of January 14, 1921; the Chicago Union Station holdup of January 18, 1921; the New York mall truck hold- up of October 24, 1922; the St. Louls mail truck holdup of April 2, 1923, and the Rondout, IIl, mail train holdup of June 1924. The totul loot in these five cases was $8,507,374. The recovery was $6,4444600, or 75 per cent The great majority of all the mail robberies of the past five years have been committed in the Middle West and the Far West. Tllinols leads with 15, California is second with 8, and Texas is third with 4. New York, with 3 cases, and Pennsylvania, with 2, are the only Eastern States appear- ing in the list. Chapman and his pal were the only “big timers” to attempt a really big hold-up in the East. Show Steady Decline. Losses by mail theft have steadily declined in the past five years. In the fiscal year of 1921 there were 16 hold-ups, With a total in thefts of $5,- 184,232, In 1922 there were 18, with $2,532,408 in loot. In 1923 there were but 6, with a total of $2,506,174 stolen, and in 1924, 11, with $1,958,546 stolen. The current fiscal year, which has four more months to go, shows a surprising drop. To date there have noose in 1 — BEAUTIFUL SOLITAIRE DIA- MOND RING ARANTEED ABRO. LUTELY PERFECT, WEIGHS 2 KTS.: Uncle Sam. been 7 robberies, with a total loot of only $280,708. So far this year—and for the first time in the five—there has been noth- ing approaching a million-dollar job. And with Gerald Chapman, the Rond- out gang and most of the other “big time” mail bandits behind the bars, the Post Office Department has high hopes that there won't be any. . ART AND LETTERS LEADERS TO MEET International Association Will Hold Annual Convention Here Next Saturday. The International Association of Art and Letters will hold its annual convention In the Mayflower Hotel Saturday, at which guests and dele- gates from every part of the Nation will be present The gathering will open at 10 o'clock and the initial session will be devoted to the presentation of cre- dentials, introductions, new enroll- ments and reports of committees.

Fif- teen-minute addresses will be made by members of the diplomatic corps, who co-operate with the association, and by prominent citizens, who favor the work of interchange between no- tions of those interests in literature and allied art of each country that promote a better understanding be- tween peoples. Names of the speak- ers will be announced later. Novel Program Planned. The evening will be devoted to the “Poetry-Festa,” an entertainment, the type of which never Lefore has been offered, it is sald. Margaret Widde- mer of New York, will give a poetry- recital of the harmonlcs and verse of cotemporary poets and of her own work. The recital will begin at 8:45 o'clock. At 10 o'clock a general ball will be opened, Interspersed with interpretative themes of professional dancers. It is planned to have those who intend to attend to appear in costumes that illustrate or interpret some character from poetry. Detalls concerning the costumes will be fur- nished by Mrs. J. D. Sulllvan, 1519 Thirty-first street; the tickets, Mrs. M. V. Smith, the Bradford apart- ments; general informatipn on the ball, Mrs. K. J. Fenton, Wardman Park Hotel, and the convention, 2019 N street, the headquarters of the as- sociation. S DEATH HELD ACCIDENT.

SOLITAIRE DIAMOND RING, GUARANTEED = ABSOLUTELY FOR ORATORY TEST Selection of Students for Finals Made by Eastern and Armstrong. Eastern and Armstrong High Schools have just unnounced their preliminary selections in the national oratorical contest. Kastern narrowefl the competition to six speakers in a serles of meetings cnding Friday. Armstrong selected six students Thursday afternoon. The faculty committee on the con- test at Eastern selected six speakers after hearing all those who cntered the contest. Among the group ses lected is Ruth Greenwood, who rep- resented Easstern lust year in the finkls of the District of Columbia and was Washingto alternate in the national finals on the 1924 contest, The six who will speak in the school finals April 22 are Lydla Edward, Olin Everett, Asenath Graves, Ruth Green- wood, Laurw Haynfe and Durward Keatts. Armatrong List of Six. Ellminations in the contest at Armstrong High School left the fol- lowing to compete for the high school champlonship, April 20; Manning Johnson, Rozier Gaddls nnie Wheeler, Howard Spriggs, Naoml Morris and Othello Branson The school used its own judging system and in the scoring, Gaddis, the priz orator of last year, was half a po behind Manning Johnson An interesting development in the contest this year has been the wider range In subject choice, as contrasted with last year. In the final compe- tition for the District of Columbia champlonship in 1924 all of the finai- ista spoke on the stralght subject, “The Constitution.” Thix year the only two school representatives so far designated are speaking on “Lin- coln and the Constitution.” Further- more, in the groups of six in, ewch school from which the school spokes- man is to be chosen more than half are speaking on the Constitution in relationship to one of the seven designated statesmen, instead of simply on the Constitution. The ora- tlon subjects are the same for this year as they were for last. That in to say, the orations can be on the Constitution or on the relationship thereto of Washington, Hamilton, Jefferson, Madison, Marshall, Web- ster or Lincoln. The District of Columblia finals this year will, therefore, furnish an op- portunity for a check-up on the com- parative merits of & simple and u compound subject in a brief address Contestants this year are evidently taking up the complex subjects on the theory that while more difficult for treatment, they offer richer pos- albilities for the Introduction of hu- man interest through the biographi- cal element, which cax be woven a pealingly into the story of America's constitutional development Topies Most Popular. Among the subjects with a bio- graphical factor in them, those re- ating to Lincoln, Hamilton and Jef- ferson are proving the most popular. Although it is too early to ac- curately gauge the reactlon of con- testapts in the various States to the question of the relative desirabllity of the elght subjects, reports and press clippings from ail parts of the country indicate a greater interest in the blographical subjects. It re- mains to be seen, however, thoke who selected such subjects will be able to win through with them to the national finals. Of last year finalists for the entire Nation, only one spoke on a subject other than that of “The Constitution.” He did not finish in the money, there being only @hree prizes offered in the 1924 TREE TO BE Will MEMORIAL.
