THE EVENING STAR. WASHING FORGER WINS BRIEF LIBERTY WITH PEN Hays Van Gorder to Be Re- turned to Leavenworth. Companion Hunted. By the Assoclated Press. KANSAS CITY, March 20 —Astound- ed by the revelation that a man forged his way and that of another out of the largest Federal prison in the country. United States officials today planned 1o return Hays van Gorder, recaptured master pen artist, to his cell at Leaven- worth, Kans,, and continue a search for C._von Esch, his companion. The escape of Van Gorder and Von Esch, accomplished March 2, through forged court orders, was revealed yes- ferday when Van Gorder, arrested in Milan, Mo, for forging money orders. yas ecognized by postal inspectors ere. City for arraignment in Federal Court. The inspectors, who knew Van Gorder was supposed to be in the Leavenworth Frison, learned that he and Von Esch had been released on a writ of habeas corpus and three documents purporting to be orders from the United States Circuit Court at Topeka, Kans. nuthorities received the fake documents He had been brought to Kansas | Prison | ) T | charges of postal theft, according to! Alton H. Skinner, assistant United | States district attorney for Kansas. | ““The forger altered one of the copies, | changing the case number from 79 to 1179 and the date from February 8 to | February 28. He then obtained a blank letterhead with the Government water- I mark and wrote a letter purporting to | have been written by the United States | marshal at Topeka, attesting that the coples of the writ and the copies of | orders from the Federal Circuit Court |of Appeals were true coples of docu- | ments on file in the Federal District Court, The copies of the court orders, two from the St. Louis Cireuit Court of | | Appeals and one from the Circuit| | Court of Appeals at Chicago, purported | [to be orders reversing Van Gorder's | previous sentences on forgery charges. | Apparently the documents were| mailed to the prison officials by an| outside accomplice or siipped into the | mail by a convict employed to sort and open letters. | | Attempted Eight Years Ago. | 1t was recalled by Government offi- | cials that Van Gorder attempted a similar_forgery to_escape eight years| ago. At that time he forged the United | States Attorney General’s name to &/ pardon. A friend mailed the “pardon from Washington in a franked envelope | that had been stolen from the office of the Attorney General. Van Gorder, who had been “dressed out.” was being escorted from the peni- | tentlary when he winked at a prisoner. | The guard became suspicious and he | was held while prison officials investi- | gated. They learned the pardon was! a forgery and returned him to his cell. | Van Gorder, 53 years old. claims to| be a graduate of the University of Minesota and a former school teacher | | in_Minnesota and Wisconsin. | When he was recognized Van Gorder | said: “I never forged anything to get out, | I never saw the papers. The warden will tell you I haven't written any one for the last year. All that I know | is that I was called into the office and | released.” ‘Warden White declined %o talk of the affair except to admit that an investi- gation was under way. He said he was acting under rigid Liepartment of Justice rules which prohibited him from | giving out information concerning Fed- | eral prisoners. * through the mail. Van Gorder obtained the documents from the clerk of the District Court at ‘Topeka last month when he applied for two certified copies of a writ of habeas corpus on which he was to be taken to Cape Girardeau, Mo, for trial on Wanted — Life Insur- ance Agency Organizer and Supervisor The man qualified to fill this | | position must have organizing | and training ability and a past achievement as a producer or fi supervisor that has paid him . ! $4,000 per year or more. iy i BRICK sLock | Salary, commission and bonus | arrangement.

Some of Tam- many is claiming that Smith, when governor, gave the jobs to Repub- licans. Smith claims that makes it fifty-fifty; that Tammany gave their voles in November to a Republican. Jim- my Walker don't care much who they put in, just so it will be some- body that wil help him stay in; and Gov.

LIVERPOOL, March 20.—The Con- | servatives were credited with a victory today in the first of five by-elections to be held in England this week, with the election of Henry Mond, son of Lord Melchett, to succeed A. E. Jacobs late Conservative member of Parliament from East Toxteth. Mond's total vote, however, was only a plurality and some 3,000 less than the total of his Liberal and Labor op- ponents. He received 9,692 votes, while J. J. Cleary, Labor, received 6.563, and A. O. Roberts, Liberal, received 6,206. Vote of both Conservative and Labor candidates was smaller today than at the general election of 1924, but the Liberals showed a noticeable gain, credited by their leaders to the recent announcement by David Lloyd George of the party’s unemployment program. In 1924 the Conservative vote was 15,139, the Labor vote 6,620 and the Liberal vote only 4,173. TWO HURT IN COLLISION.

Probably nobody i¢ better qualified to judge the merits of various ‘‘regulating agents’’ than Dr. Joseph F. Mon- tague. A brilliant New York specialist in intestinal and rectal ailments, he has had ample opportunity to observe the damaging effects of the old-fashioned drastic meas- ures that people have used to keep their systems in order. O when he suggests a health measure because it is “‘absolutely harmless™ and because of its “*benc- ficent action’ in helping to “‘re- establish normal habits,”" his advice | is well worth heeding. In his now famous- book, *‘Troubles We Don't Talk About,” Dr. Montague makes special mention of Nujol. Again, in a personal interview he | spoke of Nujol as a safe, cflective aid to health. He pointed out, too, its | particular advantages in the way of ideal heaviness and unexcelled purity. Dr. Montague prescribes this form of | treatment for his paticats, as a pre- ventive of painful and scrious ail- | ments, and also as a general health measure to be followed regularly. Nujol is not a medicine. It is a pure, matural substance that helps your system to function as Nature in- tended it to, under all conditions. Regularly. Easily. Normally.
