lOWA OFFICERS BELIEVE THEY HAVE O’CONNOR Hold Suspicious Prisoner on Theory That He Is Chicago Gunman. OSKALOOSA, lowa, March 2—A man police believe to be Tommy O'Connor, Chicago gunman, who escaped from the Cook County jail on the eve of the day he was scheduled to hang, was captured here today Authorities here immediately wired Chicago police a description of the man. The prisoner was taken from a Rock Island train coming from Dea Moines. He was half frozen and made no resistance. Photographs and finger prints of the suspect were taken and sent to Chicago police. He gave hU name as Hcrry Andrews, and said he had been under arrest for several days in Des Moines. Dea Moines police have been holding a man who gave his name as Harry Andrews, and who when first arrested was believed to be O'Connor. This man, however, is still in the Des Moines jail. Oskaloosa police are positive they have none other than ‘‘Lucky Tommy” O’Conuor, himself. Their prisoner they say—has all the earmarks. He is of the same weight and height as the escaped Chicago gunman; he has a scar over his letft eye, has st.tl grey eyes and has the characteristic O’Connor “limp.” CHICAGO POLICE WORKING TIP CHICAGO, March 2.—Chicago police have. J>een working for a month on a tip that Tommy O’Connor, notorious gunman, was hiding in lowa, Chief Charles Fitzmorrls announced today, when informed Oskaloosa police held a man who resembled O'Connor. “It looks like a hot tip," Fitzmorrls •aid.

the board decided It would scratch out the Elliott specifications and write in its own “It’s just a preposition,” began Mr. Freeman and paused—“—of not letting him do something we ordered him not to do,” finished Dr. Spencer. About this time Mayor Shank came into the board’s office, and alter getting *n idea of what was going on advised the board that he thought concrete should be left in the Poplar street specifications because he believed with Mr. Elliott that In low value, light traffic districts, concrete was the best material. The board debated a while and then announced it would change all the specifications excepting Poplar street. However. Mr. Freeman told the mayor he wanted to have a talk with him. The two board members and the mayor had their confab Today Mr. Freeman announced that the board had changed the specifications to eliminate concrete on all three of the resolutions. Mr. Elliott was informed of this. have nothing to say—yet,” was his comment. / •Interwoven in the situation ts Mr. Elliott’s fight on the high price of asphalt paving. Monday the engineer 6ent the board a letter recommending the rejection of a number of bids for street improvement. received Feb. 20, asserting that the average price a square yard of asphalt paving represented by the proposals was $4.10. whereas In his opinion, which he supported with figures showing a decline In materials going Into street construction, a fair price would be between $2 80 and $3 a square yard. He recommended further that the board bold op paving resolutions until a square yardage of 50.000 accumulated, which would make it profitable for outside contractors to come In and compete. He pointed out that asphalt costs in several cities are more than $1 a square yard less than the local bids of Feb. 20. The board rejected the bid* but did not act on the second recommendation. Incidentally, bids received Feb. 28 in Louisville, where city specifications are identical with those of Indianapolis, averaged $2.15 a square yard of asphalt. WOULD OFFER EACH SOLDIER ‘BONUS’ OF SSO (Continued From Page One.) estimated the SSO cash feature of the new plan will not require more than $16,000,000 drag on the Treasury the first year. This easily could be absorbed. American Legion leaders here are satisfied with the House “bonus” subcommittee proposal to drop the cash “bonus,” provided a workable insurance certificate plan with the privilege of borowing money on the certificate, is substituted. They stated this today, adding that while they may make a protest—to keep the record straight—on elimination of the cash payments, they do not now plan any campaign against the proposed committee method. WOULD PROVIDE LOAN FOB ILL OP UNEMPLOYED. As the House drafters are aiming an HI or unemployed man or others actually requiring cash could get a loan from a bank at once np to 50 per cent of the amount allotted to the soldier for his term of service on a sl-a-day basis. For Instance, the average soldier served 329 days; he could take his certificate to a bank and get a loan of $164.50. If he defaulted payment the bank would then turn to the Treasury and get its advance, with interest, back at the close of three veara from the date of passage of the bill. The Legion leaders contend that the insurance certificates would really mean more to the average man than cash. The certificate would mean something for old age, but it could tide over hard times now as well. At the same time. House leaders say, the proposed elimination of the cash “bonus” means two very important things: 1. Prevention of disturbance to the national finance system In the next two years when a stable situation is needed for refunding of maturing Government securities. IVOILD PREVENT PENSION HOPE. 2. Preven' ion of any move for pension, • costly thing which It has been predicted would be the next step If a cash “bonus” were pulled across. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, will be called before the committee again. He Is likely to offer objections among which probably will be that Inflation ot currency will follow through the loans on certificates. Bepresentatlve Longworth says If all service men took the certificates and held them the financing cost would be $3,00,000,(00, but he estimates with other conversative men that the cost would be considerably lower since many certificates will be closed out by default of loans before maturity of the Insurance. Longworth thinks the plan feasible—practically the only one which will meet the numerous objections raised by President Harding, big business and the ordinary tax gayer.

Fair Wielder of Foils Seeks to Become Famous in Old Art of Fencing LOS ANGELES, Feb. 14 —The Los Angeles Athletic Ciub Is making a 'strong effort to aid in the revival and upbuilding in California of the old art ot fencing.

It sets forth that all of the property has been assigned to his company by Mr. Sipe and will be held to Indemnify the company for any loss It will sustain on the defaulting clerk’s bond. Mr. Fcsler elated it has not been determined what amounts. If any, were spent of county money for the various shares of stock purchased by Mr. Sipe when he was county clerk. That must bs determined by proper investigation he said. Mr. Sipe has stated be has turned over all of bit possessions in an attempt to cover his losses. Refusing to make any effort to obtain bond and declining the proffer* of financial assistance for tela personal needs from frennds. Sipe sat If. his cell In the Marlon County Jail today seemingly In the best of spirits. “I am not talking any more,” said Mr. Sipe, “because it might worry my wife.” In statements made yesterday Mr. Sipe diacloaed where $70,000 of the fundi had gone, but all efforts to account for the remainder of the admitted shortage have proved unavailing. “Plead guilty? Yes, I guess so," he said In response to a query aa to bis Intentions when he is arraigned on the charge of embezzling $5,000 from Nola B. Parrish, the specific count on which bis arest was based. has refused to obtain a lawyer and declared he has not made up hit mind whether he will voluntarily go before the grand pury which will start an investigation of the case next Monday. SA3 8 ONE MAN DID KNOW: GUARDS NAME. One of the significant statements made by Mr. Sipe. today, however, was that “one man did know" that the money he obtained from the former clerk was out of the trust fund. He declined to reveal the man’s name. This Is Important, officials said, because one of the angles of the Investigation will center around whether there was a conspiracy to defraud the trust fund. Ripe has seated that his defalcation started in September. 1921. and it has become known that several weeks ago, before any Intimation that he was heading toward a crash became known, he attempted to borrow SSOO from Leo K. Feeler, county auditor. Sheriff George Snider and Mr. Feeler conferred with Sipe today In response to a call. It Is understood the conference dealt with the problem of saving his home for his wife. Sipe has assigned all his property to the Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company, which was surety on uls SIOO,OOO bond Mrs. Sipe, who has gone to the home of her parents in liiishvllle. has refused to sign the assignment, It la said. Prosecutor William P. Evnqg has instructed operatives from his office to begin gathering up facts which will be laid before the grand Jury. Mr. Evans expects to give the investigation his personal attention, believing the Hartman case will be completed before the grand Jury meets. it Is understood that aside from going into the conspiracy angle the grand Jury will seek to learn In what manner the money was disbursed" and how It was obtained. “We hope to be able to get the books, bank stubs and vouchers which are now in the hands of the field examiners of the Stave board of accounts," Jackson Carter, grand Jury prosecutor, stated. “Witnesses will be summoned at one®. Mr. Sipe will be given a chance to come voluntarily before the grand jury and tell his story.” Payment® of support money and the like, which were stopped yesterday were resumed today, but no pay mem s are being made out unless the support money has been paid in today. Support money was accepted yesterday at the clerk's office, but no payments were made to the parties to whom It was Intended and so far that money has not been released. JUVENILE COURT FREE FROM AFFAIR. The admitted shortage of Mr. Sipe In no way affects the office of the Juvenile Court. Separate accounts In the Juvenile department are kept and the funds are not mixed. Frank Brattaln, deputy county clerk, stated. , “Our funds were not In the hands of Mr. Sipe and are not affected In any way." Mr. Brattaln said. “The Stats board of accounts yesterday did not stop us making payments. I wag Informed to go right ahead.” Another problem Is facing the county officials, according to Auditor Fesler. “I ‘asked Mr. Sipe this morning at the Jail if all money received at his office was banked and went through the usual checking system and he told me that ill money was received in the usual way," Mr. Fesler stated. “If the usual banking 6.vstem was not used of course that will not show up until later.” FIELD EXAMINERS'TO DETERMINE SHORTAGE. The extent of the depletion of the various Items in the trust fund which was entrusted to Mr. Sipe will not be known until the field examiners complete their investigation.

Afterward Coffin announced that "we are going to get some of this money back. If not, some people are going to Jail.” Schnyler A.

This fund was paid over to Mr Kips after Grover Parrish. Mrs. Parrish's divorced husband, was -murdered In Muncle last fall. Parrish was killed In a mysterious manner while out automoblllng with a girl. The Indiana Travelers* Accident Association promptly admitted liability and paid the Insurance fund over.

BIFF! POW! OOF! THAT 9 S SETTLED i Insurance Men Tangle at Collection Demand. In a battle following an argument over a demand for settlement of collections, M. Sandusky, manager of tho Metropolitan Life Insurance Company seems to have been on the receiving end In a "box party” with Grover C. Ferguson. 32, 3843 East Michigan street, yesterday Ferguson was fined $1 and costs in city court today on the charge of sssuult and battery. Stories of the affair, which occurred la the life Insurance company’s office, differed. Sandusky declared Ferguson hit him twice, the first time knocking his glasses off and the second time knocking him down. He then punched him übout six times Wlille he was down, Sandusky coin plained. Two girls ■‘Ktenograiphers saw the fight and neither testified they 3aw Ferguson hit Sandusky while he was down. Ferguson said he had resigned and was to quit next Monday when Sandusky demanded a settlement, he said, he told him he would settle the day he was to quit work. When Sandusky tried to seize a traveling bag carried by Ferguson, the latter said, “I slapped him with my open hand and he knocked his own glasses off. Then 1 slapped him again and then he seized a chair and threatened me. He fel! over the chair and fell down. I did not hit him while he was down.” Ferguson denied the hand bag contained the company’s receipts, ns Sandusky testified.

The Indiana decision cited Is that "Judges may be authorized to perform non-judicial duties. State of Terre Haute vs. Evansville Company, 149 Indiana 174. The embezzslmenl of this trust fund strikes home to more Individuals than would have been touched by the loss of any other monies in the custody of any official In the county. The fund was made up of money turned Into the court In accordance with court orders. It included alimony, monev for the support of dependent children, money to satisfy Judgments rendered by the court, etc. In each esse the persons who paid the money to the clerk paid it under compulsion, or by order of the court, and it was the theory of the law that (he court, through its clerk, would deliver the money so paid to' the proper persons. When State examiners began work on the tangle they instructed that payment of persons having claims against this trust fund be suspended. -That Instruction meant that women who were dependent npon alimony received through it, or on payments made for the support of children by erring husbands were unable to obtain their money, which In many cases. Is their only source of livelihood. How long these people will be deprived of their money, and whether they will ever get It all, remain* to le seen, i The Sipe Shortage Is estimated at more than the bond and the bonding company has declined to make good until a check has been completed on the shortage. When that check la completed and all the money recovered that It Is possible to recover, the payees of the fund will know what pro rata loss to deduct from ; each. Until that time it seems no one con b# paid, although entitled to payment through the court's order. No provision seems to have been made In th# statutes for the replacement of j this fund by the county or the State, j and 1t ts the opinion of lawyers that no ( liability attaches 14 the county there- ] fore. It has. however, been suggested that there Is a possibility of establishing a liability on the part of tho Judge of the court under whose orders money Revolutionist Held in U. S.
