Is Designated As Arbor Day Indianapolis, April 8 — With Arbor Day designated as 'Friday, April 17. in a proclamation promulgated by Governor Ed Jackson, an interesting pamphlet has just been distributed to all the public schools of Indiana 1 bp the department of public instruction and the state conservation department which collaborated in its preparation. The publication is intended to stimulate wirespread interest in the reforestation and tree planting program for Indiana sponsored by the conservation department in an effort to reclaim thousands of acres of waste ’finds into timber producing areas. "Arbor Day has been established in most states of the Union to give the youth of our nation home knowledge of our native trees to remind our elders of the forest problems facing the states and the Nation, and to unite all citizens of the country in an appreciation of the beauties of nature, particularly as expressed by our trees, birds and wild animals, and in recognition of the policies that must be adopted if we are to preserve to posterity sufficient trees and wild life for a satisfaction of their esthetic and economic requirements Governor Jackson says. The Governor also points out that forests were one of the greatest of natural resources provided for the use of those who first settled ’this country. Econoimc requiremnts, wasteful methods and lack of foresight have caused the destruction of 70 percent of our virgin stands, and most of them within the last 70 years. Henry Noble Sherwood, state superintendent of public instruction, whose department is distributing the pamnhiets, says we should make Arbor Day not only an occasion of speech-making and inspiration but we should impart an impression which will aid in the permanent preservation of a J animal and plant life. “We must make Arbor Day not a one-day affair but a year-round activity.” — o Thinks Chapman's Friends Are Shadowing Witness. Steubenville, 0., April 8. —(United Press.) —Additional evidence accumulated here today indicating that friends of Gerald Chapman, "bandit prince,” are seeking revenge against the witnesses whose testimony resulted in his sentence to the gallows. Miss Catherine Boorn, described by Chapman as “the lieel woman who is placing the noose around my neck,” said she had been followed by two mysterious men for three weeks. She said the men first started to shadow her before she went to Hartford. Conn., to identify Chapman as the man who had stolen an automobile from the Stanton garage here. Miss Boorn is secretary of the automobile company. "Twice the men tried to open con-

(another firm member)” Miss ' Hoorn said. 1 "I'll never forget bow Chapman I looked at me when I took the stand, lie stood up, gland at trie for it long time and then bowed as I sat in the ch.iir. I didn't feel be was tilting out of respect for me, hut I hut be was signalling to tin aeeoniplice In ■> the room." Police have been asked to search i i for the men who are alleged tn have ■, been following Miss Hoorn. Meanwhile state fire marshals are ' enroute here from Columbus to investigate the origin of the lire which I destroyed the Stanton guragi f yesteri day. Authorities believe the blaze ‘ was Incendiary and that it had some t connection with the testimony of firm members in Chapman’s murder trial. i Resignation Os Bank Os France Officers Averted By A. L. Bradford. . (U. P. St iff Correspondent) Paris, April S.—Resignation of the ' directors of the Bank of France, 1 which would have heightened the ’ financial crisis, was averted today by : intervention of Finance Minister de 1 Monzie. The directors wrote to Premier Herriot complaining bitterly that he ' i had not fulfilled his promise to have ■ the government’s finance bill passed I early this week. De Monzie arrang 1 ed that the directors should give i Herriot another ten-day delay. The immediate result of this intervention |is that the’ weekly statement of the Bank of France will not be affected by the unsettled situation and threat ened resignation of the directors will not lake place. It is unlikely that the chamber of deputies will take f up the financial j bill this afternoon. The chamber') finance committee is meeting at 3 p. m., to continue its discussion and begin drafting a report, which it cannot expect to complete today. —o Tractors And Plows Are Shipped To Storm Area Chicago.
