Colonization in
Western States
Sign of New Era
Tracts Set Aside for Former
Soldiers—Money Backing
for Newcomers in
Washington.
_
A new era la dawning for the west
and will accomplish Its rewinning, ac
cording to Dr. William C. Hicks, a
member of the national Americaniza
tion committee of the American
Legion, who will deliver an illus
trated lecture In Crounse hall at 3
Sunday afternoon.
"Theodore Roosevelt predicted the
west would be the theater of Ameri
can achievement,’* Dr. Hicks said,
"and the day of which he spoke is
about to dawn. Evidence Is found in
colonization plans of wider vision in
Wisconsin, California and Washing
ton, particularly the last.
"Washington has set aside 100
tracts for former service men. Pri
vate interests, realizing the sale of
land is but a start, are backing new
comers to the state regardless of mili
tary service, and are providing them
with money and scientific Instructors
necessary to success.
"Western states are realizing that
getting men to settle on their lands
must be followed by efforts to make
them successful, to make their homes
happy. In order to accomplish it
they are winning land by great engi
neering feats and are betting their
money that settlers can make a ’go’
of it.
"This wider vision means keener
competition to win settlers and
greater development of the west.”
Dr. Hick’s lecture will be under
Auspices of the Great Northern Rail
way company.

Mail Bandit
Nearly Caught
Chapman Seen Friday by
Nurse in Hospital Whence
He Escaped.
By Associated Press.
Athens, Ga., April S.—With his feet
propped against a brass rail beside
the boiler In the basement o fthe hos
pital from which he was thought to
have escaped on Wednesday night,

000 mail robbery In New York 31
months ago, was nearly captured to
day by Harry Bishop, a guard from
the Atlanta penitentiary.
Bishop, in giving attention to Miss
Kstelle Scott, a nurse whij accom
panied him, when the discovery was
made, and who though thereupon
fainting told Chapman to return to
his room. A few minutes later, how
ever, when Miss Scott had been re
vived. Bishop was unable to find the
missing criminal. An immediate
search was futile.
The discovery of Chapman was
made when Bishop, who is on duty
guarding a federal prisoner now in
the hospital, started for breakfast
with Miss Scott. In passing towards
the kitchen a view of the boiler room
disclosed Chapman. Then Chapman
arose and pffered Miss Scott his chair
and she fainted. Chapman, according
to the guard, offered to give her first
aid. Bishop said he told Chapman
that as he was too weak, to go to his
room. Bishop then turned his atten
tion to the nurse, and after he had
revived her, searched for thapman.
Chapman escaped from his room
Wednesday night in a suit of clothes
belonging to his guard. He was re
cuperating from gun wounds received
when captured near here last week
after & sensational escape from the
Atlanta federal prison.
