PAUL SMITH'S, N. Y., July 17.—A man supposed by police to be Ray d’Autremont, wanted for bandit oper- ations in Oregon and other States, was arrested by State police near Ga- briels today. According to officers, he was found living in a formhouse and answered descriptions of the sought: for bandit! He was taken to the State noI:“ca barracks at Malone for ques- o The basis of the arrest was a de- scription broadcast in an attempt to locate the bandit, but-no details on his activities were available to the troopers hgre tonight. Authorities Are Notifled. It was sald the proper authorities had been notified, and t undoubted- 1v an identification would be made as soon as it was possible for those.in- terested in the bandit's arrest.to send an officer. 2 Maj. Warner, head of the Staté po- lNce, who is here.with Gov. Smith, was advised briefly of the circum- stances, and said the arrest was made by the regular State police of the Sar- anac division at a point between Sar- anac and Gabriels, about 12 mliles from White Pine Camp, the Summer ‘White House. It was not, he added, made as a re- sult of extra precautions due to the presence of President Coolidge in this region, but as & result of careful ob- servation and systematic searching since reports had been received that the bandit was in the Adirondacks and circulars recently had been re- celved containing & description of the man. Answers Description. The suspect was picked Gp on & farm, where he was working regular- 1y, and was said to answer the descrip- tion of the circular except for a slight question involving the color of the eyes. More complete information on this point has been sought of the ! Oregon authorities. The description in the circular sald the man was accustomed to seek farm work .and referred to him as an wthelst. ‘When the suspect, who gave the name of Archambault, was asked to- day if he believed in God, he was said to have replied in the negative, but ndded that he read the Bible every day. Postal Officials Informed. Capt. Broadfield, commander of the Malone Barracks, said tonight that he had notified the United States postal inspector at ‘Wash., for ‘whom the arrest was made. D’'Autre- mont, Capt. Broadfield added, is held on an open charge and will not be ar- raigned until the captain receives word from Washington as to the dig- position of the case. . According to Capt. Broadfield, the bandit is implicated in a large mail robbery. He could give no details of the ar- rest at the farmhouse beyond the fact that his men were famillar with & photograph of the fugitive.

The mail clerk met death when the bandits dynamited his car in a vain search for loot. The bandits fled empty- handed. Later, some discarded clothing was found near the scene of the crimeand ownership was traced to the three @'Autremont brothers, who had dis- appeared at the time of the hold-up. Since then, the arrest of one or more of the fugitive brothers has been reported in many places. Rewards totaling $15,000 have been offered for their capture. Several weeks ago the Post Office Department ‘issued new oountry to apprehend the fugitives. . 1. HENRI DE SIBOUR ' WEDS IN BALTIMORE Mrs. William M.

It was pointed out by Maj. Carey H.

Personnel of Committee. The committee, in addition to Maj. Brown, consists of George M. Rob- erts, superintendent of weights and res of the District of Columbia; Lloyd 8. Tenny, acting chief of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics of the Department of Agriculture, and T. W. Kitchin, business manager and superintendent of the Center Market, Wwhich is under the jurisdiction of the Department of Agriculture. The committee made a general sur- vey yesterday, but came to no conclu- slon. It first studied the conditions at the present farmers’ market, at the commission houses and at the Center Market. It had in mind the sugges- tion contained in the Public Buildings Commission, report of 1917, which planned that the area bounded by north B street, Pennsylvania avenue and Ninth.and Tenth streets should be the market area, but it was pointed out that since that time comditions have materially changed, particularly the fact that the public buildings biil has been enacted, plans made for put- un: beautiful buildings along B street. and the projected improvement of B § street as a boulevard from the Arling- ton National Memorial Bridge, now building, to the Capitol.

While the National Capi- tal Park and Planning Commission took .up the question in connection with its general planning scheme, it cannot purchase the lan@of its own accord, as its annual appropriations for h‘:d’ pumh;ndm restricted to parcels for park and playground pur- poses. The District government ‘;xu no_ funds for the purchase of lands, unless specifically provided, so that the whole matter apparently will have to go to Congress at the next session. While it has been determined that the Internal Revenue Bullding is to be located on the farmers’ market site, it was 8aid that the question has arisen as to whether the Secretary of tHe Treasury has authority to take this land without specific direction from Congress. This situation has been laid before the Treasury in a letter from Maj. U. S. Grant, 34, director of the office of public buildings and pub- lic parks of the National Capital. No effort been niade yet to get an opinion from the Attorney General on the matter, but it is expected this will follow in due course as a result of the letter to Secretary Mellon. The land now occupied by the farm- ers’ market was placed under the Jurisdiction of the District of Colum- bia for that specific purpose by an act of Congress, and this brings up the question whether the Treasury De- partment can now take it for public bullding without specific au- . thority Mongred. ‘When the /| matter is presented to Congress, it was sald, then, of course, the question will come up of providing sufficient funds with which to purchase land for ‘th®establishment of the farmers’ mar- ket. elsewhere, BOYS SCORN SEX NOVELS.
