A plaster model of the statue of Gen. Artemas Ward, Revolutionary War hero, will be inspected here a week from Thursday, when the Fine Arts Commission convenes for its reg- ular April meeting. H. P. Caemmerer, executive secre- tary of the commission, revealed this fact today in announcing that Leonard Crunelle, Chicago sculptor, who is executing the statue, is sending the model to Washington for the meeting. The Gen. Ward statue, for which Harvard has set aside $50.000, will be erected here in the new circle created recently by the District Government at Massachusetts and Nebraska ave- nues, near American University. The statue is to be cast in bronze. Gen. Ward had command of the Conti- nental troops at Boston, and turned over the command to Gen. George Washington. The commission will consider a number of landscape problems in con- nection with the erection of the statue, which its sponsors hope to have dedi- cated within a year. Plans for the new building for the Acacia Life Insurance Co. will also be considered by the commission at its April 25 meeting.

PRINCETON, Ind, April 15 (#)— The 51-year-old Gibson County court house burned for two hours here this morning before firemen got the flames under control. The fire was confined to the attic, but smoke and water caused considerable damage elsewhere. Fire equipment from Evansville and Vincennes was rushed here to help the local department. All records were re- moved safely from the building. Firemen said the blaze apparently started from a defective flue.

Then they hunted for Schultz, who devel- oped will-o’-the-wisp talents after a first indictment was returned against him in New York. He surrendered last November in Albany. His capitulation came after the Government ordered an unrelent- ing search about the time its opera- tives killed John Dillinger and Charles “Pretty Boy” Floyd with such finality, SCHULTZ CHARGES TAXTRIAL GRUDGE U. S. Men Just Persecute Him, Former Beer Baron Asserts. By the Associated Press. SYRACUSE, N. Y., April 15.—Dutch Schultz, big-wig of the late Bronx beer business, who declares he is a much-wronged citizen, arrived today at the brink of the income tax pitfall the Government successfully set for two of his notorious contemporaries. With the opening of his Federal court trial today, Schultz, christened Arthur Flegenheimer, stood on that precarious spot from which Al Capone SORORITY TO FORM Senators Key Pittman of Nevada and Nathan Bachman of Tennessee will be guests of honor of Iota Tau ‘Tau, national legal sorority, when it founds a chapter of National Uni- versity trained woman lawyers at a banquet tonight at the Shoreham | Hotel.

These men are Govern- ment authorities, except one, who has retired.” | Nor were his frequent arrests since | 1919, he declared, due to any wrong- | doing on his part. He said it was simply that he was a convenient per- son for the police to pick up on their | general clean-up drives. | Schultz ended his interview with | the hope he “will get a fair trial.” The trial is expected to last several | weeks. In an effort to prove the alle- | gations that the defendant evaded | paying taxes of $92,103.78 on a net in- | come during the years 1929, 1930 and 1931 of $481637.35, the Government has on call about 130 witnesses.
