VICTIMS HAD SHELTERED TRIO AFTER CELL BREAK Husband Testified Against “Chap- pie, Finest Man He Ever Met,” in Hartford. By ths Associsted Press. MUNCIE, Ind., August geance trailing those who testified against Gerald Chapman, notorious bandit condemned to die for the mur- der of a Connecticut policeman, struck down Ben Hance and his wife near here yesterday. The Hances were shot 10 death on the Anderson-Muncie high- way. In a dylng statement, Hance 1ald the crime to the door of George ‘Dutch” Anderson, pal of Chapman, and Charles “One Arm” Wolfe of Muncie. It was at the Hance home that An- derson and Chapman lived after their escape from Atlanta Penitentlary and after Chapman attempted the robbery of a New Britain, Conn., mercantile establishment, which resulted in the slaying of a police officer. Hance was one of the principal witnesses against Chapman following his arrest here. Just what occurred on the highway before the fusillade of shots riddled Hance and his wife has not developed, although Wolfe, arrested in Muncle last night, is held under heavy guard. Wolfe refuses to talk. Mrs. Hance died instantly, while Hance lived long enough to gasp out an accusation against Anderson and Wolfe. Woman Witnesses Deaths. A terrified farmer's wife, Mrs. Charles Cromer, standing on her front porch, witnessed the tragedy. She related: ““Three machines were coming down the road, one a small coupe carrying an Ohio license, a large red automobile and the Hance car. The red machine passed the others almost in front of my house, The coupe pulled up in tront of the Hance car and stopped. Mrs. Hancé was the first to alight from the machine. She was bare- footed. Her husband stepped out a second later. changed and the bandits shot. Mrs. Hance fell dead, with a bullet through her head, Hance and a man supposed to be Anderson began wres- tling in the road. Several shots were fired at close range, Other shots were fired after him, and he fell fiortally wounded just as he leaped over a fence into cornfield. “The gunmen then turned their weapons on the red machine, which had stoppedl 200 yards up the road. Another machjne which passed also was fired at before the two slayers jumped into the coupe and drove away.’ To a Middletown officer, called to the scene by Cromer, who had found Hance, the stricken man gasped: “He stayed at my home. I told on him. They shot me—Charles Wolfe and Dutch Anderson.” Hance, after being rushed to_a Muncie hospital, called for Fred Puckett, chief of de- tectives, but before Puckett arrived Hance died. Puckett was one of the officers who alded in the capture of Chapman last January. Wolfe Arrested, Silent. Several hours after the shooting Wolfe was arrested at the home of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Myrtle Stra- han. A coupe resembling the machine seen at the .tragedy was parked in front of the Strahan house. Wolfe maintained a stolcal silence. According to local officers, the Hances lived in constant dread of death since Chapman's conviction. | Friends of the condemned man have sworn vengeance on Hance for giving information against him.

BELGIANS ASK LOW - RATES OF INTEREST Debt Negotiations Believed Near an Impasse Because of Terms Proposed. The American and Belglan debt commissions were marking time today in their negotiations over the funding of the little kingdom's $480,000,000 war debt to the United States. Work of the two commissions was suspended yesterday until Tuesday to permit both parties to take up the progress to date with higher officlals of their respective governments and to recelve additional instructions as to how to proceed in the matter. Secretary Mellon and Senator Smoot of the American commission were en route to Plymouth, Vt., to lay all of the facts before President Coolidge, while the visiting delegation was in touch by cable with its home govern- ment. . Although the work to date is still de- scribed officially as proceeding in a satisfactory manner, there is a definite indication that one side or the other snust make a decided recession if an agreement is to be reached.

PAIR WERE INSEPARABLE. Anderson and Chapman Carried Out | Crimes Together. NEW YORK, August 15 (P).—Ger- ald Chapman and George Anderson, who now is alleged to have wreaked | vengeance in his name, have been in- | separably linked in crime for years. Thelr biggest job was their holdup | of a mail truck on lower Broadway, this city, in October, 1921, in which they took about $2.400,000 in cash, ! securities and Jewels. Apprehended | for this crime, they were convicted | and sentenced to Atlanta penitentiary | for terms of 25 vears each. ! Chapman escaped on April 5, 1923, | after one unsuccessful attempt, in| which he was shot three times. \With his pal at liberty the prison tould not long hold Anderson, and he got away shortly by burrowing under the 50-| toot wall. Police officials belleve the two im- inediately got together again and that both were concerned in planning the looting of the store at New Britain, Conn., in the course of which crime Chapman shot and killed Patrolman James Skelly. Chapman was arrested at Muncie, Ind.. last January on information ziven by Ben Hance, at whose home he, Anderson and Charles (One Arm) Wolfe were staying.

ESTIMATE SUPPLEMENT WILL GO TO CONGRESS Water Supply Project and Park Area Purchase Plans Are Thought Necessities. When the District Commissioners set themselves to the task Monday morning of cutting more than $3,000,- 000 from their tenative estimates they will strive to spread the reduction over as many items as possible in order to avold making any one class of mu- nicipal work suffer an unreasonable curtallment. This was indicated today by Com- missioner Cuno H. Rudolph, who re- turned to his desk from a vacation which he spent in New England. Although the Commissioners are anxious to distribute the pruning pro- cess over as many departments as pos- sible, it seemed probable today thatthe hool building program, which is one of the large items in the budget, would bear a substantial part of the reduc- tion. On the other hand the school items which may fall under the blue pencil next week undoubtedly will be submitted to the Bureau of the Budget in the list of supplemental estimates. Big School Estimate. While the detafls of the estimates have not been made public, it is re- ported that the school building rec- ommendations totaled somewhere in the vicinity of $4,000,000. Congress by speclal legislation has authorized a program to give the District an ade- quate public schoo! system involving an expenditure of more than $19,000, 000 within a five-year period. If the list of school bullding projects for the next fiscal year is curtalled, it would necessitate a larger appropria- tion in one of the succeeding years in order to keep pace with the five-year bullding program. Another substantial item in the budget is for the purchase of new park areas by the National Capital Park Commission. It is understood the recommendation for this purpose in the tentative budget is about the same amount that was appropriated for that purpose by the last Congress, and officlals regard this as a most im- portant elass of work for the proper development of the National Capital. Whether they will find it necessary to reduce this item will depend upon the comparative study of all the projects which will be made at the forthcoming Congress. Another large sum is for completion of the additional water supply system to go with the new ccnduit, and this likewise is regarded by the municipal authorities as a most essentlal proj- ect In view of the possibility of a water shos which the city has been facing for a number of years. The new conduit is nearing comple- tion, but the plans call for a new fil- tration plant at the west end of the city and two new reservoirs to make the new conduit fully operative, Some provision has been made in the estimates for continuing the build- Ing program at the Gallinger Munici- pal Hospital, and while more space is an urgent need at that institution this item may have to stand part of the pruning. In directing the Commissjoners to reduce their tentative estimates from $39,479,866 to $36,250,000, Budget Di- recior ‘Lord gave the Commissioners authority to submit in the form of sup- plementals any urgent items which will have to be stricken from the regular estimates in making the re- duction. First Estimate Conservative, 1t has already been Indicated at the District Building that the Commis- sloners regard the total of more than $29,000,000 a5 a canservative estimate of the amount the city should have in the flscal year 1927, and that they will, more than likely, submit a list of supplemental estimates totaling very close to the $3,000,000 that must be subtracted from the original total. Commissioners Rudolph and Bell will meet daily next week in revising their tentative estimates and in for- mulating the list of supplementals in order to submit their revised figures to the Budget Bureau on September | 1. Later in September they will go before the budget officials to explain the needs for the additional amounts they are expected to ask for in sup- plemental lists. SHASTA GROWS ACTIVE. REDDING, Calif., August 15 (#).— Unusual conditions in the vicinity of Mount Shasta, near here, have given rise to the belief among -many that the old crater is getting ready for vol. canie activity. Investigations by the United States Bureau of Fisheries show that water of the McCloud River is four degrees warmer than normal; that the surface of Mount Shasta {s warmer than usual; that the mud flow {s increasing and that grass is dying in meadows much earller than usual. Heat in bowels of the mountain is belleved to be the cause of the pecullar conditions. 18,000 Drug Addicts Expose Making By the Associated Press.

In order to make sure that all traf- fic policemen will give uniform sig- nals when the new system of handling vehlcular and pedestrian travel at more than 50 intersections goes into effect Monday morning, Acting Supt. of Police Charles A. Evans today is- sued a general order describing to the traffic men exactly what they should do. The plan is to have traffic officers indicate by their whistles when trac and pedestrians should move and when they should stop. The purpose of the plan, which has been In operation as an experiment at Fourteenth street and Pennsylvania avenue this week, is to leave an In- terval of time for pedestrians who are in the street to reach a point of safety before trafic is released across their path. The order of Inspector Evans to traffic policemen follows: Walt for Second Signal. “The new whistle signal is: One dis- tinct blast to stop traffic; at the same time the officer holds up his hand in a distinct manner to indicate to mo- torists as well as pedestrians that they must stop. After as short an in- terval as possible to permit pedes- trians to reach a place of safety, the officer will sound two distinct blasts of his whistle and at the same time change his semaphore from 'stop’ to Where the semaphore is not in op- eration, the officer wi¢: indicate with a distinct signal of the hand in ad- dition to the two blasts of the whistle This whistle signal is to be used to control trafic whether north, south, east or west bound, as the case may - H “Three blasts of the whistle to be used to stop all traffic in every di- rection. “This new signal, as indicated, has proven very satisfactory and head- quarters is desirous of establishing this signal as a uniform signal for all police officers doing duty on per- manent traffic posts, temporary traffic posts and all intersections where po- lice are stationed at any time for the control of traffic.

BREST, August 15 (P).—The cargo steamer Saint Maria ran on a sharp rock in a dense fog in the English Channel off OQuessant last night and foundered in a few minutes. The captain and 10 members of the crew perished. Thirteen others of the clinging to the bottom of a boat, managed to get to Ouessant in a pitiable condition. Almost at the same time another steamer, the Berville, running from St. Nazaire to Swansea with coal, lost her way in the fog and ran onto a point at Ouessant. A hole was torn in her side, but calls for help brought tugs which towed her into Brest. Merits and Faults of Playgrounds The Star has made a thorough and unbiased investigation over months_of the playground sys- tem in Washington, covering par- tieularly the relationship between playgrounds and child delin- queney. In a series of articles beginning tomorrow in The Sunday Star, and running daily, the results, beneficial and otherwise, on the youth of this city will be com- pletely analyzed.

By the Associated Press PLYMOUTH, Vt., August 15.—Back home with his father, President Cool- idge took full advantage today of the opportunities for rest and relaxation. The President was determined to keep affairs of state in the background before going into a conference Mon- day with Secretary Mellon and Sena- tor Smoot. They will break into the Executive’s home stay to take up emergency problems relative to nego- tiations now under way for refunding of the Belgian debt. Joy at finding his 80-year-old father well enough to be about contributed considerable to the Executive's visit. Col. Coolidge, who underwent an op- eration six weeks ago, was standing on the front steps last evening to welcome his son and Mrs. Coolidge home. He kissed each as they left their car and then showed them about the home. Smiles as radiant as shone on their faces earlier vesterday when they met their son, John, for the first time in uniform, lighted the faces of Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge when they found Col. Coolidge awaiting them. They met John, who is a corporal in the citizens' military training camp at Camp Devens, Mass., at Ayer, near- by. The 170-mile motor ride from the Summer White House at Swamp- scott, Mass., was made over roads slippery from a heavy storm encoun- tered shortly after the start. At Proctorsville, Vt, the President stopped to pay a surprise call on an aunt, Mrs. Sarah Pollard, who kept the Executive walting for a few min- utes at the front door as she de- scended from upstairs. A short stop was made also at Rockingham Meet- ing House, Vt. where Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge found a slate slab in the cemetery marking the grave of his great - great - grandfather, Nathaniel Davis, who died in 1802 at the age of 87. There were few changes about the homestead here since their visit six weeks ago. It was just a year ago that the President and Mrs. Coolldge were vacationing here. COOLIDGE’S TOOTH ACHES.

FEZ, French Morocco, August 15.— Everywhere along the Franco-Riffian fighting front the situation is excel- lent for the French, while the Riffian forces appear to be going to pieces. Without a struggle the column of Col. Freydenberg occupied the whole of the Djebel Sarsar position, which was 50 formidable that the French staff had been hesitating for a fortnight about attacking it. Djebel Sarsar was the base from which the dissident tribesmen ter- rorized the tract of country astride the Ouezzan-Souk-El-Arba hightway. The French troops have now com- pletely cleared it and begun to estab- lish a permanent line of defenses join- ing the Spanish Hne, which will make impossible future incursions by the rebellious tribesmen. The consequences of continued suc- cessful pressure is beginning to show on every part of the line. Hastily gathering their half-reaped crops and driving their flocks to places of safety, the dissident tribesmen are showing less and less inclination to fight. Even the Branes tribe, though incessantly worked upon by Abd-el-Krim's propa- ganda, is growing weary and appears to be approaching the point where it is ready to negotiate for submission to the French. .Tribes in the war zone friendly to the French are bringing back their flocks and re-occupying the village Safe and $50,000 Stolen.
