NEW YORK IS IN LEAD Heads Federal Reserve DistrictsChicago Is Second. WASHINGTON, April Final Income tax collection figures for the March quarter, the first under the reduced rates of the new revenue law, showed a total payment to the government of $499,600,000. This Is almost $60,000,000 more than was collected a year ago under the higher rates and is $100,000,000 more than treasury officials estimated would be collected for this quarter. The collections assure a surplus at the close of this fiscal year, June 30, which probably will be applied to the public debt. The unexpected Increase in returns, despite the reduced tax rates, was attributed today by Acting Secretary Winston to the "unusual income and profits resulting last year from the period of prosperity."

CHAPMAN GIVES UP U.S. COURT FIGHT two Supreme Court Justices Refuse to Stay Bandit's Excution. HARTFORD, April 1. () Frederick J. Groehl of New York, chief defense counsel for Gerald Chapman, condemned mail robber, said tonight that the refusal of two United States Supreme court Justices to intervene in Chapman's case today at Washington marked the end of his fight in the Federal courts to keep Chapman from gofhg to the gallows on April 6.

FAILS TO GET STAY. WASHINGTON, April 1. P) Gerald Chapman, bandit, failed in his effort today to obtain a stay of his execution, set for next Tuesday, from Supreme court Justices. Ray Wiley, Springfield, one of the condemned man's counsel, came to Washington to appeal for an order of postponement, but Justices Stone and Holmes, to whom he attempted to present his case, declined to Intervene. Mr.

Wiley contended new evidence had been discovered, which would substantiate Chapman's claim, that lie was not in New Britain, the night he is said to have murdered- a policeman. He also held that constitutional questions had arisen which would warrant the Supreme court to reopen the case. THAN EGGS AND FOR EASTER NOW They started getting ready for it last October In order that this first week of April, their shops should glow and gleam with a hundred shades of lavender and crimson, pink and gold, scarlet and violet and blue, lilac and rose, with the great white Easter lilies towering over all the other plants. Six months ago they see out the Easter lily bulbs, and -the bulbs of Jonquils, hyacinths and tulips. The Easter lily varieties Include the Aribu, grown In Formosa, the Glganteum, grown in Japan, and the Bermuda, which for some years suffered a total eclipse so far as Easter lilies are concerned, but now has made a grand come-back.

Many of the finest blooms are from bulbs imported from Bermuda. Nobody need hesitate to go shopping for an Easter lily or for any other Easter flower, for that matter for fear he can't afford it. A magnificent plant, with a doen or more blooms on It. and housed io a lordly white tub, costs $15, but a vtry pretty plant with two or three Mourns on it may be purchased for $1.50. The average price for Easter lilies Is $2 to $7.

Eng-lish, Informed tonight by the Associated Press of his impeachment by the House, said he had "nothing to say." He declined to answer questions as to his plans for combatting the charges. WASHINGTON. April 1. iP) Amid turmoil and confusion the House late today Impeached Federal Judge English of the Eastern Illinois district, to (12, on charges of "high misdemeanors" In office. I'nless Judge English resigns he must stand trial before the Senate on the five articles In the Indictment returned against him by the House.

The vote came at the end of three days' debate and culminated In a near fist fight. RECOMMITMENT DEFEATED. After proponents and opponents of the resolution of impeachment hail tulked themselves out, the Democratic floor leader, Representative Garrett of Tennessee, put forward a motion to recommit the resolution to the Judiciary committee to hear additional testimony. Out of the usual hubbub and din attending roll calls, the announcement came of the rejection of this motion, 80 to 275. Speaker Long-worth then announced that the vote was on tha Impeachment resolution Itself.

There were a few scattered "ayes" and as equally few scattered "nays:" It was plain the House did not know on what It was voting. When the speaker announced the adoption of the resolution a half dozen members were instantly on their feet with cries of "Nh, no." "What have we voted on?" demanded Representative Holaday, Republican, Illinois. POINDS FOR ORDER. There was so much turmoil that before undertaking to reply, the speaker pounded for order. "The vote? was upon the Judiciary committee resolution," Mr.

Ixmgworth said after the House had subsided. "After the motion to recommit had been announced, the chair waited what It considered a reasonable time for opponents to demand a separate vote on any one of the articles of Impeachment." Mr. Imgworth then explained that In view of what members regarded as confusion at this time of the vote, he would vacate Ids ruling. He then recognized Representative Bowling (Democrat, Alabama), to present a motion for a vote on the first article of impeachment. This move was defeated, 101 to 260, on a rising vote.

In the face of this overwhelming majority against them, opponents of impeachment abandoned plans on the four remaining articles of Impeachment and the entire resolution was permitted to come Immediately to a record vote. EMBERS SHAKE FISTS. The House appeared to be on edge when it met today after two long, drawn-out previous sessions on the Knglish case. Immediately after Speaker Ixmg worth rapped for order, a quorum call was demanded by Representative Rankin (Democrat, Representative Mills (Republican.

"In announcing my candidacy for Congress," Mr. Headrlck said, "I am laying no claims upon any debt the Democratic party owes me. the years I have labored with It and advocated the triumph of Its principle I have tried to give expression, lis a humble citizen, of my appreciation of the principles for which the party has stood.

If nominated and elected a still greater debt will rest upon me than ever before, and that will be to stand squarely upon the platform upon which elected. We need not expert voters to take a real Interest In primaries and In general elections so long candidates elected to office Immediately forget or disregard the platform upon which they were elected. In that respect the fault lies in the servant and not In the master. "1 believe In strict party responsibility. When we offer the voters a platform and they accept It, then let us carry It out.

I shall stand unflinchingly for Democratic principles and policies. If these principles and policies are wrong, let the Democratic party accept the responsibility. On the other hand, if they are right, let the party have the credit and the honor. So long ss we are to 'have government through or by political parties, then let there be party responsibility, or let us change the system and surrender to contending groups and blocs. FOR PEOPLE'S RIJ.E.

"I'nder our primary election system, congressional and legislative candidates are nominated before platforms are adopted. Therefore, I must give expression to sn abiding faith and lasting hope that the Democratic party will, in the coming campaign, announce a platform ringing true to the principle proclaimed by Jefferson that the people are the full source of all government, snd that government by them Is the strongest on ear' h. If nominated I will be the Democratic candidate for Congress, and not the candidate of any clique or clan, and will carry the doctrine of true and constructive Democracy Into every precinct In this district and will make my appeal to the deliberation and thought of the voters, and will do my best to have something thought out, rather than guessed at, to give for their consideration, for upon every Individual rests the future of America. "Business must be given faith; labor must have hope, and the peoplcmust find confidence. Every dollar honestly Invested deserves to bring a fair and honest return with the least possible disturbance.
