ESCAPED PRSONER | IS SLANBY POSE ] Deputy’s Gun Fells ' Swede Anderson After Leap From Train. By the Associated Press. BATON ROUGE, La., January 24— | Btanley “Swede” Anderson, St. Louls | underworld character, who escaped | from United States marshals north of | New Orleans yesterday by leaping through the window of a swiftly mov- ing train, was shot and killed near here early today as he sought to flee northward on a fast freight train. He was shot down by a deputy sheriff in an open field near Louisiana State University after jumping from the freight. He was quickly identified by a half- dozen letters in his pockets and by in- Juries about the face, suffered in yes- terday’s leap through the window of a Pullman drawing room in which St. Louis marshals were bringing him to New Orleans to face charges in connec- tion with the alleged murder of a ZLouisiana dry informer two years ago. Swamp Hunt Fruitless. Search of swamps near Kenner, ‘where Anderson escaped, proved fruit- less and peace officers throughout the section were asked to aid in a general watch on railroads and highways. A train dispatcher at Lutcher, half way between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, early this morning saw a man hiding on a freight car on a north- bound train and notified the sheriff’s office here. Officers quickly drove southward, intercepting the freight at the Louisiana State University Station, where open fields would make it diffi- cult for the man to escape. As the officers started a systematic search of the cars, Anderson leaped from a coal ! gondola and started running. When he declined to heed orders to halt Deputy Sheriff Ed Whitney opened fire with a riot gun and Anderson dropped in a field, fatally wounded. The body was brought here later today. Slaying Described. ‘The letters found on the body were grom Anderson’s wife and son. Anderson_was arrested in St. Louis several weeks ago and his removal to New Orleans ordered after Thomas Kehoe, a Federal prisoner at New Or- leans, told authorities a weird story dealing with the mysterious disappear- ance two years ago of Louis Chearmie of Donaldsonville, La. Kehoe said he and Anderson were in Donaldsonville and that the latter killed Cheramie one afternoon and then hid the body in the rumble seat of an automobile which he parked in front of a hotel for several hours while Anderson listened to the broadcast of a foot ball | me. g‘.‘\ufl-wnrtls. Kehoe charged, he was forced to aid Anderson in weighting the body and sinking it into the Mis- sissippi River. Bones were recently found in the river at the spot indi- cated by Kehoe as Cheramie’s burial place, but they were not definitely identified as those of the missing man. 23 MORE INDICTED IN ELECTION CASE Total of T;ose Accused in New York Now Exceeds 100. Several Surrender. t By the Associated Press NEW YORK, January 24.—Twenty- three persons, including election in- spectors and others, were indicted by the Fedral grand jury yesterday on charges of returning a false count at Jast November's election and intimi- dating voters. Forty-eight other persons are under indictment in connection with alleged irregularities at the polls, 7 having been previously indicted by the Fed- eral grand jury and 44 by the county. Three of those indicted yesterday were among the 44 named by the county ury. d Ysterday's true bills, four in num- ber, were handed up to Federal Judge John C. Knox about the same time Gov. Lehman, in Albany, decided against a Moreland act investigation into the attorney general's office for alleged failure to check election frauds. The investigation had been sought by State Republican leaders. Meanwhile nine election inspectors, including four women, who were in- dicted last Thursday by the county grand jury, surrendered at the district attorney’s office. Each posted $1,000 bail. Among those named in today's bills, which were the first to charge intim- idation of voters, were Irving Simon, Democratic captain in the twenty- second election district of .the fourth Assembly district, and Max Krasnoff, who was temporarily attachehd to the attorney general's office during the election. The grand jury continued its in- vestigation of the write-in vote for Acting Mayor Joseph V. McKee. In- vestigators announced they had found that votes had been written in for McKee in at least 22 election districts in the first and second Assembly dis- tricts, from which no McKee votes were recorded Village Changes Hands. Virtually the entire village of Gilbert- ville, Mass., changed hands recently when a manufacturing company sold three big worsted mills, 250 tenement houses and the town water supply sys- tem to Walter Holt of Gilbertville and Leonard Campbell of Ware.

BUENOS AIRES, January 24—The Bollvian Army began the fifth day of & determined assault against the Para- guayan Fort Ayala today in one of the major battles of the long fight for pos- session of the Gran Chaco territory. Conflicting claims of casualties in. dicated the total losses of the tw armies were hundreds dead, wounded and missing. Other reports disclosed that many were ill because of the in- tense heat and heavy rains during this season in the jungle country. Muddy fields hampered the movements of the opposing forces. The Paraguayan war ministry re- ported many assaults by the Bolivians were repulsed and that they were still meeting with stubborn resistance of the Paraguayans. He announced enemy losses were heavy. Report Paraguayan Retreat. Unofficial Bolivian dispatches said the Bolivian forces were successfully break- ing through heavily fortified defenses in the Ayala sector, assisted by artillery and aerial bombardments. One report said these were “disastrously affecting Paraguayan lines which were retreat- ing and continuing desperate resist- ance.” Paraguayan communiques _disclosed two otter Bolivian drives further north —one in the Corrales sector, about 100 miles north of the Pilcomayo River, and the other against the new Paraguayan fort Luis Alberto Herrera. These northern operations were occu- pying Paraguayan forces in those sec- tors to such an extent that they pre- vented reinforcements being rushed to Fort Ayala. Both Bolivian and Para- guayan communiques indicated the lat- ter fort, formerly Fort Nanawa and re- named for President Ayala, was Bolivia's main objective. Hostilities Resumed Last July. Current Bolivian drives were the big- gest advances they have made on the Chaco battlefront since hostilities were resumed last July. The Paraguayan offensive was carried on late last year after the capture of Fort Bogueron in September. Bolivians made a final stand at Fort Saavedra, a salient protecting their headquarters at Fort Munoz. for several weeks until about a month ago. Para- guayans had closed in both north and south of Saavedra. i ACROSS? (See Page A-10 for solution.) 100,000 FORECAST IN RELIEF MARCH Nebraska Farmers to Ask Legislature to Approve Foreclosure Ban.

TRANSIENT GIRLS GAINING IN NUMBER| Their Case More Challenging Than Boys’, Sociologist Tells Senators. By the Associated Press. The problem created by an increasing | number of homeless women, many of them mere girls, wandering over the country, was presented to a Senate committee today by a sociologist as “much more challenging” than that of “For one thing it is much more recent and there are not the facilities for taking care of them,” said Nels Ander- son, instructor in sociology at Columbia, farmers would march on Lincoln and the Legislature February 16.” Rosenberg was here to make ar-! rangements for meetings and housing of farmers. | “The movement is spreading like wildfire,” Rosenberg said. “Every day new holiday groups are organizing.

At Ponca, Nebr., a one-year mora- torium on farm mortgage foreclosures in Dixon, Dakota, Thurston and Cedar Counties was declared by Judge Mark Ryan. More than 600 farmers ap- peared at the opening session of the District Court and presented a formal request for relief. The judge continued all foreclosure cases for a year, but provided that own- ers of mortgaged property on which foreclosure was sought pay a reason- able rent during the year. If the two parties to the action are unable to agree on a rental. the court agrees to help. settle the dispute. Seriously Hurt ACTRESS TREATED FOR AUTO INJURIES.

By the Associated Press. < COLUMBUS, Ohio, January 24— Ohio’s ratification of the “lame duck™ amendment to the Federal Constitution was prepared for forwarding today to the Secretary of State at Washington, while the Legislature turned to other important problems—relief of the un- employed, aid for the weak school dis- tricts and old-age pensions. Heeding the request of Gov. George White, the Assembly last night adopted the “lame duck” resolution in record time. In less than two hours it came out of commiitee, was adopted by the House and then by the Senate. Legislative leaders were hopeful of filing the ratification before that of Mis- sour, the thirty-sixth and last State needed to make the amendment op- erative. They rushed preparations to send the certified records to Washing- ton by airplane as soon as resolution is printed, enrolled and signed this afternoon. A method of financing unemploy- ment relief and creating a permanent system of weak-school aid was pro- posed by Gov. White in a message recommending enactment of new indi- rect taxes totaling $11,000,000 annually. ‘The school financing proposed by the administration calls for re-enactment of the cigarette tax, bringing in an annual revenue of $4,250,000, and the imposition of a 10 per cent tax on all manufactured tobaccos and cigars in- tended to raise $3,000,000 annually. ‘The Governor estimated the two taxes would yield $14,000,000 every two years. | THREATS OF DUCKING | \ THELMA TODD.

The problem of supervision and the much discussed question of gas warfare will occupy the attention of the bureau for two or three days. After that the Steering Committee will attempt to arrange an agenda for the General Commission. It was expected that the French plan will be given first consideration by the commission. The United States is being repre- sented by Hugh Wilson, Minister to Switzerland. ‘The French plan, Geneva last November, proposed that disarmament be achieved by reducing effectives and materials of war and at the same time guaranteéing national security by means of pacts.

STATUES' REMOVAL AT CAPITOL URGED IReport of Engineer on Weight Load in Statuary Hall Is Given to Committee. In order to relieve the crowded con- | dition of Statuary Hall and to lighten the strain on the ficor of that chamber, | the joint Committee on Library decided | today to asi the House and Senate for authority to rearrange and relocate the statues. | .~ Although there are 65 statues already | in the hall, 31 more are entitled to be | placed there under the existing law allowing each State to send two. Im- | mediate action was necessary because | three of these additional statues are |Teady to be sent here in the near future, The crowded condition of the present statues has been a subject of discus- | slon in Congress for a long time and to this has been added a report of an | engineer who studied the condition of | the hall from the standpoint of the | weight load. At the meeting of the \]nln! committee today, presided over by | Senator Fess of Ohio, Architect of the | Capitol Lynn said the engineer recom- Imended that no more statues be placed | in Statuary Hall and that the major | part of those now there be removed as soon as suitable places can be pro- vided for them. Mr. Lynn read the following excerpt from the engineering Teport: Not Actually Dangerous. ~ l “I do not regard the floor as being {in an actually dangerous condition. but it does not have the degree of safety | that is demanded by modern rules and practices. For this reason it should be glelieved of part of its loading.” { ., Members of the committee discussed Iin(ormnlly various suggestions for a permanent solution of the Statuary | Hall problems by erecting a separate | Hall of Fame Building, or giving the | statues outdoor location, but no action was taken on these proposals. One member of the committee said that since the statues are different materials, sizes and degrees of artistic quality, the present crowded condition of the hall invites comparisons that are not de- sirable from an artistic standpoint. Although nothing was done regarding permarent arrangement of the statues elsewhere, the members agreed on the | | necessity for immediate action-by €on- gress to relocate some of them either |in the Capitol Building or in adjacent | buildings including the Library of Con- | gress and the new Supreme Court structure. Curator Assists Lynn. Charles Fairman, art curator of the | Capitol, assisted Mr. Lynn in describing the present condition of the hall. In addition to Senator Fess, other mem- bers who fook part in the discussion were Senators Bingham of Connecticut, Howell of Nebraska and Representa- tives Luce of Massachusetts, Ruth Pratt of New York, Gilbert of Ken- tucky and Keller of Illinois, Mrs. Pratt suggested that, since each State is entitled to two statues, it might be possible to leave one statue from each State in Statuary Hall and relocate the others. Members of the committee indicated a desire to place the statues in appropriate and desirable lccations. DENIES EXTORTION CLAIM Rochefort Files Afidavit in Reply to Stillman's Charge.

Rochzfort denied all charges made by the former New York banker, in- cluding an allegation that an attempt was made to settle all claims for $25,000, and asked that Stillman be re- quired to submit himself for examina- tion before trial. Rochefort also demanded that an affidavit by Astrid Haug, who allegedly introduced Stillman to Mrs. Rochefort, be disclosed. He said a repetition of Miss Haug's statement charging con- spiracy might precipitate another suit against Stillman.

The election is upon the principle of proportional representation—the last Dail included 153 members—and this will show up the counting, which does not begin until tomorrow. Independence Champion. President De Valera, who called for the election in an unexpected political move three weeks ago, is the champion of complete Irish independence which he has extended to the economic field in the past year. ment of his refusal to pay land an- nuities claimed by the British govern- ment and the resulting tariff war. Cosgrave, who lost the presidency in the election 11 months ago after hold- ing it five years and becoming virtual dictator because of internal distur- ! bance, urges the development of the Free State as a part of the British Empire. ‘The rioting which interrupted num- erous Cosgrave meetings despite the protection assured by De Valera, was renewed last night at his final rally in Cork. Several persons were treated in hospitals for injuries received in the fighting which continued early to- day as Cosgrave adherents paraded the streets of his home city. More than 100 were injured in fights when Cosgrave made a final sweep Sunday into County Kerry. Several of his meetings were broken up, beginning with the first days of the campaign. Threat of Martial Law. President De Valera made a per- sonal appeal that the man he passes silently and without even a nod of recognition in government buildings be given a fair hearing. There was even a threat of martial law. Last night De Valera described the campaign as “one of the most orderly in Irish history.” When De Valera dissolved the last Dail, his government had survived many months because of support of seven Labor deputies. The Farmers’ party, a new organization favorable to Cosgrave, was bidding for the balanc- ing power today with 26 candidates in the field. The Labor party’s opposition to salary reductions, which embarrassed De Valera recently, was expected in some quarters to weaken its small strength. De Valera claimed his party, the Fianna Fail, would win clear majority of 20 seats in the new Dail, while lead- ers of Cosgrave's party, the Cumann na nGaedheal, predicted they and their allies would have 83 seats to 70 for the opposition, Promises Better Prices. Cosgrave, in his final rally, promised a policy of assured better prices for the farmers. “Our opponents have a poster declaring ‘no surrender,’ but what have they done in the past six months.but surrender our cattle, shesp and poultry :;l; prices not equal to the quality of “The only terms on our side is that our island and our people shall be left to themselves without any interference,” De Valera told a huge throng at Dublin in his last appeal. are embarking in a new direction—a di- rection that will lead us to an Ireland that is Irish-speaking and politically and economically free.” De Valera appealed for order at the polling today.
