WANT CHANGES
IN DRY LAW
Many Persons Were Pres
ent When Arguments
ere Started Before the
Senate Committee.
Washington, April 5. — UP) —The op
ponents o( prohibition again marched
on Congress today in their first or
ganized demonstration in several'
yea re. .
At a hearing before the Senate
sub-committee, the wet leaders mar
shalled a colorful array of arguments,
ranging from a demand for modifica
tion of the prohibition amendment it
•elf to a petition for wine and beer.
Tiie -whole week has been set aside
for hearing the wets, and all of next
week will be given over to argumenta
by the drys.
Before a jammed and agitated com
mittee room. Senator Bruce, of Mary
land, a Democrat, began the attack
with a brief in support of his consti
tutional amendment for a partial lo
cal option by states. Senator Edge,
Republican, of New Jersey, who lias
pending a wine and beer bill was
designated to second him. while Julien
Codman, of Boston, was present as
general counsel for the various groups
of modificationigts.
Senators Bruce and Edge both de
clared prohibition a failure and they
and other witnesaes laid on the com
mittee table details, compilations and
statistics which they said proved the
indictment.
Both senators said the time had
come for action to alleviate wholeaale
violation of the law. and an increas
ing spread of drinking, especially
among the young.
The daramtic touches that are ex
pected to give color to the hearings
as they proceed were almost entirely
lacking during the opening hours.
A whole regiment of photographers
had -hivade-1 the committee" room
teak some preliminary shots at the
outset, btft thereafter they 'found
nothing in ore thrilling to photogra
pher than a group of quiet Germans
seated around a big table, while one
of their number read hurriedly
through a prepared manuscript.
Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Mon
tana, , the Teapot Dome prosecutor,
and chief reliance of the drys in
their cross questioning of the wet wit
'nesses excused himself soon after Sen
ator Burce began his reading. It was
the evident purpose of the prohibi
tion managers to let the opposition
develop its case without interference
for the time being.
The crowd in the committee room
included many members of Congress
who are not members of the commit
tee, a number of ministers and others
who have interested themselves ac
• lively in the controversy on one side
or other. They listened intently,
leaning forward in the rows of the
steep banked chairs set for spectators,
but only on rare occasions were there
aDy show of applause or any murmur
of dissent.

STATE REPUBLICANS TO
MEET NEXT FRIDAY
The Air Is Filled With Charges and
Counter Charges.
Durham, April s.— W) —With the
air Ailed with charges JW counter
charges by various factions, the Re
publican State convention will con
vene. here next Thursday and t'ae out
look is the session will be a stormy
one.
Frank W. Mondell, of Wyoming,
former Republican House leader, will
deliver the keynote address of the con
vention while W. G. Bramham, of
Durham, state chairman, will preside
over the session.
. The convention is expected to adopt
a platform and probably set forward
a number of candidates for office. It
is expected, in view of bib announce
ment sometime ago, that the resigna
tion of Mr. Bramham will be pre
sented to the convention and a new
chairman will have to be named. On
the eve of the convention, however, it
appeared doubtful whether Mr. Bram
ham would resign as a very determin
ed fight is being made on his leader
ship by Maridn Butler, for years a
■‘stormy petrel” of the Republican or
ganization.
The Republican convention here
will be the opening gun of politics
for April. Later in the mopth at
Raleigh the Democratic convention
will meet and shortly after that date
it is expected the full list of candi
dates for various offices will be be
fore the public, and the campaign
which will terminate next fall will
definitely get underway.

In opposition to the prevailing mode
fifty-three girls in one school said that
to marry men of whom they had no
previous knowledge was dangerous.
Sixteen were opposed because the
present custom ignores the sentiments

Farrell said that from October 9 to

The man spent money freely and

Pardons Board Meets.
Wethersfield, Conn.. April S.—OP)
—Governor John H. Trumbull called
the State board of pardons in order
at 10:30 o'clock this morning to ppgs
on the petition of Gerald Chapman
who wants to servo a life sentence in
stead, of being hanged for murder at
midnight tonight.
Governor Trumbull asked Warden
H. W. K. Scott to produce Gerald
Chapman before the board of par
dons.
Frederick J. Groehl, Chapman’s de
fense counsel, was on hand with the
witnesses and affidavits by which he
hoped to obtain commutation.
Chapman was not visibly neryons
when he entered -the room. He sat
beside Mr. Groehl as the latter be
gan his pjea for mercy, calling the
governor’s attention to "reasonable
doubts” which he asserted had exist
ed throughout the trial.
Review of Chapman Case.
Gerald Chapman had been tilled a
“super-bandit” and a “master mind"
of the underworld. Prosecuting attor-
Tieys paid tribute to him as “a Wry
clever' and Wry dangerous man’.' Aft
er his $2,0000,000 mail truck" 'hold
up in New Y’ork City five years ago,
and his subsepuent escape from the
Atlanta Penitentiary after being
wounded, his name became a house
hold word for the most desperate,
resourceful bandit of the day.
A legend had grown op around
him and until his final arrest in
Muncie, he was suspected of every
particularly daring robbery or hold
up wherever committed. Stories .of
his wide reading, his cultured man
ner, his soft voice, his fine clothes,
his big automobilesi, his luxurious
homes, wove around Chapman a
colorful personality.
Yet this “supet-criminal,” this
great intellect of the underworld, j
this gentleman crook, this “very '
clever man,” was able to enjoy only |
five years of freedom in the last I
nineteen years of his life, since he j
was first sent to prison at tbe age of j
19. Fourteen years, more than one
’hird of his. life, had he spent behind !
prison walls. And finally, at the age
of 38, his career was ' ended on the j
gallows.
Chapman went under numerous
aliases and his real name was
definitely established. He was a
product of the lower East Side of
New York and it was there that he
began his criminal career in 1907.
He was arrested as a petty thief and
sent to the reformatory. Paroled .at
tJie end of a year, another year found
him again in prison, this time at
Auburn, in 1912 he was sent to
Sing Sing for 10 years. He remained
in prison seven years and it was
during this time he obtained a
smattering of information and know
ledge, which, added to his native
cunning, made it impossible upon his
release to execute such an ambitious
exploit as the big mai' robbery. It
was ia Sing Sing, also, that he made
the acquaintance of “Dutch” Ander
son, ‘his partner in the mail robbery
and subsequent crimes, and who
was shot to death by an officer in
Port Huron, Mich.
Tbe story of the $2,000,000 mail!
truck robbery in lower Broadway
has been written up so extensively
that it does not need retelling. When
the robbers were caught, some eight
months after the robbery, Chapman
and Anderson were living in style in
the Gramercy Park section. It was
their carelessness In disposing of
part of the stolon securities that
led to their capture. Chapman made
the first of his daring attempts to
escape on the day that he was ar
raigned Tor a preliminary hearing.
He and Amderaon were tried, con
victed and sentenced to 25 years
each in Atlanta. On March 27. r.*23.
Chapman and a forger named Frank
Gray escaped from the prison hospital, |
but were caught a few days later
near Athens, Ga„ after a pistol bat
tle in which Chapman was wounded. |
He made his successful escape from
a hospital in Athens on April 4.
Anderson escaped several month*
later. A nation-wide bunt for Chap
man began, but it was not until
January 18, 1925, that he was final
ly caught, at Muncie, Ind.
He was then returned to Hart
ford. Conn., to stand trial for a <
crime committed during the interval
between bis escape from Atlanta
and Ms capture at Muncie- This was I

LOW INFANT MORTALITY
The State Last Year Had the Low
est in Its History.
Raleigh Bureau of
The Concord Daily Tribune
Raleigh, April 5. —North Carolina
last year had the lowest infant mor
tality rate in Its history, with a de
crease from 54.5 in 1924 to 47.0 in;
1925. according to announcement made
yesterday by Dr. G. M. Cooper, of i
the State board of health.
This most gratifying record is due,
the doctor believes, to safer milk,
through greater uniformity of city
ordinances over the state demanding
pasteurized or grand A milk; more
thorough education of mothers on
the care of infants and the work of
the seventeen county nurses who are
scattered Over the state, principally
in counties Which had been troubled
previously by high infant motarity
rates.
There were 1,484 deaths due to in
fantile disease during 1924, which
gave a rate of 54.5 per 100,000 popu
lation. This figure was reduced to
1324 in 1025, which gave a rate of
47 ;>er 100,000. The decrease is a
notable one, especiall in view of the
fact that the state's pouulatiou has i
shown a greater increase than ever!

Health conditions, in general, over
the state bave been good since last
April, the only outbreaks of any eon

FURTHER DELAV IN
THE STRAWBERRY CROP
Is Expected as a Resule of the Frosts
of Last Week.
Raleigh Bureau of
The Concord Daily Tribune
Raleigh. April s.—Further delay in
the strawberry crop of eastern North
i Carolina is expected as a result of
the frosts of this week and last, and
j growers now are fearful that t'.ie Car
olina season will overlap that of
Maryland.
Should that eventually occur, it is
likely that prices will suffer from a
flooding of the market, but Frank .D.
Grist, commissioner of labor, is of
the opinion that there is little need
to worry.
Commissioner prist was in Mary
land earlier this week and saw two
heavy frosts. If the T’aroWtii crop
is delayed, it stands to reason tbit
the Maryland crop also will be de
layed and there will be no more ov
erlapping than usual, he points out.
In conversations with fruit grow
ers over the state. Commissioner Grist
has ]>ersinstently urged the need of a
fruit canning industry to supplement
( the growing industry of- the fruit sec
j tion. If large canning plants were
!in operation through the regions
where the fruit is produced, the dan
ger from overlapping of the perishable
crops would be reduced to a minimum,
as nny surplus then could be sold to
the canuers right at hand and de
livered to the ultimate consumer
whenever the time was ripe.
I Commissioner Grist inclines toward
’ co-operative canning plants, if some
feasible system for financing could
be worked out, but declares that,
above all, the vital need for a de
pendable market for fruit products
should be met at the earliest pos
sible moment.
