A NEW HAVEN, Conn., January 7.— Gerald Chapman, under sentence to be hanged March 3 for murdering a policeman, ‘owes the United States Government one miilion dollars, A judgment for that amount in fa- | vor of the Government was handed down here yesterday by Federal Judge Edwin S. Thomas in an action brought by Postmaster General New and John A. Danaher, Hartford, assistant United States district attorney, while Chap- man was standing trial in Hartford. The order of judgment also includes interest on the million dollars at the rate of 6 per cent per annum from October 24, 1921, and the costs of the court. The sum represents the value of bonds and other securities still miss Ing from the $1,400,000 mail loot taken n v York on August 24, 1921, by Chapman and others. The judgment e governor has already set June 30, 1926 as the date of a special election to fi the Ladd vacancy. It is the present expectation of congressional leaders to complete the present session before that date. A minority report filed by Senator Stephens of Mississippi, Democrat, holds that Mr. Nye is entitled to be seated. Senators Smith of South arolina and Neely of West Virginia, also Democrats, concur in the con- clusion reached by Senator Stephens, but not for the same reasons given by the last named in his report The supporters of Mr. Nye insist that the right of a State to full rep- resentation in the Senate, under the Constitution, should be a controlling factor. They insist also that the con- stitution of the State of North Da- kota, a statute enacted in 1917 au- thorizing the Governor to fll va- cancies in State and district officers, and the custom of North Dakota to have the Governor fill vacancles by appointment indicate clearly the in- tention and desire of the people of the State. The question as to whether a Sen- ator is a State officer or an officer of the United States, which might be raised in construing the North Da- kota law of 1917 authorizing the fill- ing vacancies in “State and district offices,” is avoided as far as possible in the arguments presented by both maj and minority members of the committee. Legislature’s Obvious Aim. The majority contend that clearly the Legislature had no Intention of including Senators in the law enact- ed in 1917. The supporters of Mr. Nyve, on the other hand, contend that it was not necessary for the Legislature in granting the governor power to make temporary appointment to refer in any way to the seventeenth amendment to the: Constitution of the United States, nor was it s- sary for the Legislature in re-enacting the statute governing appointments to fill vacancies to make use of words different from those used in the orig- Inal act, if the language originally used would include a_Senator. To this opponents of the seating of Mr. Nye point out that the Consti- tution of the United States itself spe- cifically authorized the executive power of the States to fll vacancles in the Senate until filled by election by the Legislatures, prior to the adoption of the seventeenth amend- ment. The majority report opposing the seating of Mr. Nye called attention to the case of Frank P. Glass, a Demo crat, appointed to fill a vacancy caused by the death of Senator John- son of Alabama after the adoption of the seventeenth amendment. It sald “The Sixty-third Congress denled to Frank P. Glass a seat in the,Senate of the United States as a Senator from the State of Alabama. The Gov- nor of Alabama, acting under a statute of that State passed in 1909, appointed Mr. Glass to a vacaney oe- curring in the representation of that State, due to the death of Senator Johnston. The term for Senator Johnson was elected commenced prior to the adoption of the seventeenth amendment. The United States Senate there adopted the view that affirmative legislation was necessary under the seventeenth amendment to the United States Con- stitution to enable the executive of any State to make a temporary ap pointment of a United States Senator. The Alabama statute then under con- sideration was substantially the same as the North Dakota statute now under consideration. A comparison of these statutes shows that the only real difference w that the North Dakota_ statute was re-enacted after the adoption of the seventeenth amendment! while the Alabama statute antedated the amendment.” NewPrices 7020350 Lower Additional savings of as much as 40 t0'60 because of the New General Motors Time Payment Rates More than 100 improvemen: These include new Bodies by Fisher, Air Cleaner, Oil Filter, Four-Wheel Brake refinements and The Harmonic Balancer—an exclusive feature rendering the New Oakland / Sixunmatchedinfreedomfromenginevibration.

Disinclination of members of the Board of Education to adopt *“a pipe- n palicy,” nearly lost for the new 25,000 McKinley Technical High to be erected on a 25-acre tract at Second and T streets, the opportu- nity of ever having a pipe organ in- stalled. Confronted with a request from Municipal Architect A. L. Harris that he must be advised at once if the new McKinley is to be constructed for a pipe organ, the board members wavered for some moments at their meeting yesterday afternoon before they finally decided that the Tech stu- dents are entitled to pipe-organ music. Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintend- ent, placed himself on record in no mistakable terms as favoring placing pipe organs in Washingtons senior high schools, but other members of the board voiced mild objections. While declaring himself a devoted music lover, Dr. H. Barrett Learned said he was apprehensive over the too ready inclusion of pipe organs in high schools here, and feared that in the future it would be taken for granted that they are to be a part of the equipment. Mrs. Coralie F. Cook pro tested that the pipe organ at the Dun- bar High School was frequ atly out of order, while other board members doubted if 1t would be used enoug® to warrant the expense. Upon the motion of Vice Pres nest C. Greenwood, however, oted to advise the municipal arc tect so to construct the McKinley School that a plpe organ can be in- stalled with the qualification that this wis not to be taken as the institutfon of “a pipe-organ poficy” by the board. 1925 DATA EXPLAINED BY MRS.
