The association applied euch terms to Long as 'Inimitable a "political opportunist" and said that "politically, he Is the nation's Public Enemy No. 1." In a second statement issued dur ing the day the Square Dealers replied to an appeal for peace made yesterday by Mayor Wade Bynum of Baton Rouge. The statement, addressed to Mayor Bynum. read In full as follows: The statement Issued by you of February 4 both deserves and requires an answer. Your direct implication that tne present martial law in East Baton Rouge parish and the recent outbreaks of groups of citizens from this locality is the fault of the Square Deal Association of Louisiana, Is neither correct nor appreciated.

Wants Liberty Restored "By a casual inspection and ex amination, you can learn that our organization Is built upon a firm foundation of zealous and self-sacri ficing desire for true and righteous government. The Square Deal stands for the restoration of these rights and will not cease Its efforts until they have been restored. "If you as mayor of Baton Rouge sincerely want the return of peace and prosperity In our city as well as the 6tate of Louisiana, we suggest that you direct your appeals to the governor. When constitutional rights and government are restored, the Square Deal will cheerfully dis band and its members become as they have always wished to remain, humble and peaceable citizens. "Your statement that the so-called rebellion of Baton Rouge citizens was due to the recent taxation levied against the Standard Oil company, as well as all oil companies In Louisiana Is very misleading and far from the direct cause.

"No one will deny that it had its part but the real and fundamental causes are many times more important. The true causes are the many obnoxious laws which a dictator has Imposed upon us in destroying our civil and political freedom. Square Deal Alms state association of the Square Deal as well as our local chapter has no desire for the 'com plete paralysis ot business, general unrest and permanent injury to Baton Rouse" which is also the home of many of our people as well as the headquarters ot cur organization. As a matter of fact thj elimination of those very things is Just one of the worthy ends it Is working for. "There may be some timid bus! ness men in Baton Rouge who value their business above their heritage of freedom, and there may be some individuals In other walks of lift who are willing to follow the line of least resistance, but if you, Mr Bynum, think that Baton Rouge as a whole and the State of Louisiana.

peopled by red-blooded and patriotic men and women are going to wait passively and expect 'adjustment of political wrongs and the accomplish ment of political measures' through the present dictator and his servants, as they are now constituted, you are mistaken. "If we have martial law, who caused It? If there are worried minds and troubled hearts in Louisiana to day, who Is to blame? The Square Deal association which represents the men and women of this great commonwealth leaves this decision to the clear thinking and open minds of the people. "When one considers It well, it be comes plain that the 'enemy' Huey P. Long, continually rants and raves about Is Imaginary and that he is In truth his own and real 'great "We desire here and now to subscribe to your stated wish that the armed forces of this state marshaled against our city an parish, and ail Intolerable conditions to business caused thereby should be removed. We have no need fo them here.

The continuance of unjust and unreasonable tactics of all kinds is only further cause for the angering and inciting of citizens." Ml'SICAL PROGRAM TONHiHT. The Rev. Dana Dawson, pastor, will conduct the mid-week service at First Methodist church at 7:30 p. m. Wednesday.

But overconfldence nearly proved the champ's undoing. After a half- dozen tap dance steps for a warm-up and a brisk muscle massage for his tonsils, Rudy came out of his corner. The arena was so quiet you could have heard a saxaphone drop. This was due to the fact Justice Salvatore Cotlllo had barreo. all extra cus tomers, including radio fans.

Rudy dusted off his vagabond lover's lips with a blue-bordered handkerchief, and wound up for the first punch. "How much do you make a year?" asked Sen. Thomas I. Sheridan, Mrs. Vallee's second.

"In 1932 I made $88,000," murmured the great lover. The remark caught him flush in the chestbone, near where he keeps his wallet. Veteran experts at the ringside said that if the wallop had been $10,000 higher, Rudy would have taken the count. As It was, it knocked him clear back Into his own corner, and Hymie Bushel, his No. 1 handler, had to pick him up.

Hymie promptly threw in a huli dozen phonograph records purporting to record sweet nothings exchanged over the telephone between Mrs. Vallee and Gary Leon, an adagio dancer. "Mr. Vallee." explained Hymie, "was surprised and astonished by the records of her voice. He didn't want to pay her 25 cents after that." In order to prove it wasn't a radio test that disturbed the champ.

Hymie added that the records proved Mrs Vallee "the most disloyal woman alive." CITY BRIEFS Principals of Caddo parish schools, dispensing with their regular monthly Principals' Club meeting, will assemble at 7 p. m. today at the Hope street school to inspect E. R. A.

Both were recaptured and sentenced to death for killing Major Crow son, a guard at the farm; Palmer now Is awaiting death and Raymond plays a game of hide-and-seek with the law. Another one pardoned at that time was Henry Methvln, the "yellow rat" of the Barrow organization who was pardoned for his Texas crimes after helping officers set the trap that resulted In the deaths of Barrow and Parker, but who la now awaiting trial on federal charges of harboring them and also faces a murder charge in Oklahoma. Floyd Hamilton was also charged with stealing an automobile from Houston. Escaped Elaborate Trap Authorities believe that since Raymond escaped from the Huntsvllle death house in July, the two brothers have been running together. The brothers escaped an elaborate trap set for them by federal and city ofllcers in Dallas Monday night.

After a battle with 14 officers, a man believed to have been Floyd escaped on foot, and the other, identified as Raymond, escaped in a brilliant red truck commandeered from a garage three blocks away. Authorities Tuesday night were on the lookout for the more notorious brother, who was under sentence of 262 years plus a death sentence for a variety of crimes committed as a member of the Clyde Barrow-Bonnie Parker tang of outlaws, charged with a dozen murders and bank robberies They admitted that he might be In this immediate section but thought it Improbable. Sheriff Hughes, whose deputies have pressed a close search during the past weeks in Caddo parish for the Hamlltons, said that the search for die Bad Man No. 1 will be continued today. Questioned In the Jailer's quarters of the parish Jail where he posed for a Shreveport Times photographer, Floyd said "If the money you found on me came out of that East Texas bank, 1 don't know It." "Will Die With Boots On-Using words freely but answering no question directly, the elder Hamilton brother smiled and end2d each unsatisfactory answer with "why?" "I think Raymond would die with his boots on If cornered," he said.

"At least, that's the way 1 feel about it, and I believe he would do that way. too." Reminded that his front page brother had given up to officers after his first escape from the penitentiary, the prisoner answered: "But that's not now." Floyd has a wide nose much like his brother's. His hair Is blond and is thin toward the front. Well-set. white teeth show from beneath a complexion strangely olive for a blond.

was clothed in his new tan shirt, blue pants, suspenders and black shoes. When arrested he was wearing a light cap and a leather Jacket. His weight ranges between 145 and 148 pounds and he is about five feet nine inches in height. The wound on his arm was classiTied as "undoubtedly a gun wound" by officers. Bert Stone, one of the arresting officers, is chiefr criminal deputy of Caddo parish and a bachelor.

He has been employed in the sheriff's department for the last 14 years and for 10 years prior to that was a member of the local police department. Deputy Sheriff Prudhomme has been employed In the department for the past 13 years, after nine years in police work. He is the father of O. (Aggie) Prudhomme, former Detroit and Rochester baseball pitcher RAYMOND HAMILTON RELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN WOUNDED TWICE Dallas. Feb.

5 (Indications that Raymond Hamilton, fugitive from the Texas death house, was wounded at least twice In escaping from a police trap here last night were announced by police tonight with the discovery of the truck in which he fled. Officers drew their inferences from blood smears on the machine, found hidden In a clumb of trees 10 miles southeast of Dallas. The belief that the southwest's No. 1 desperado was wounded would need aid led them to hope anew for his early capture. Floyd Hamilton, brother of Raymond who also escaped from the trap in a hail of bullets, was captured today in Shreveport, La.

Blood smears were found shoulder high on the back of the driver's seat. Captain Will Fritz of the Dallas police department said they Indicated Hamilton was hard hit. Also Woonded In Knee Other stains Identified by Dr. J. L.

Howley of the emergency hospital as human blood were found on seat cushions and floor boards. Captain Frits said it was evident Hamilton also had been hit In the knee by some of the scores of bullets fired as he and Floyd fled from an apartment here. Officers who examined the truck, stolen from gas service company, said the fleeing robber and killer had FE17ER COLDS She is under federal indictment with 22 others on charges of con spiracy and aiding Clyde Barrow and his woman companion, Bonnie Park er, who was slain with him. Another woman, believed to be Ray's latest feminine companion, is being secretly held by federal officers. The Hamlltons faced a terrific stream of lead from shotguns, rifles and pistols but were successful in making their get-away In a truck.

Officers, however, expressed belief that only one of them was In the truck. They were unable to say whether it was Raymond or Floyd. Since the raid Monday night, county, city and federal officers bad been waging an Intense search for the escaped fugitives. Officers reported today that they had discovered a dim trail of blood in the alley the Hamlltons raced down In their escape from the police trap, and it was believed Raymond was wounded. A bright-red gas company truck they stole in fleeing from officers had not been located, despite Its conspicuous color.

A group of heavily-armed Dallas officers, reinforced by federal agents, rushed to Mountain Creek this afternoon upon receipts of a tip that the fugitives were hiding there, but soon returned with the anouncement that no trace had been found of the brothers. Irked over their Inability to shoot down the Hamlltons, officers were In low spirits. They had been confident that Monday night's trap would bring to an end the depredations of Raymond Hamilton, condemned slayer and bank robber, who has participated In two bloody breaks in this state. Definite Information that the Hamlltons had committed the $1,000 robbery of the First National Bank at Carthage yesterday put authorities on their trail and, when the outlaws drove up to the apartment house last night, officers thought they had the pair at last. Six city detectives laid in wait in the house.

Floyd walked up to the door and officers inside the apartment ordered him to surrender. He backed away reaching for a pistol, and the officers opened fire with shotguns, rifles and pistols. Raymond was In the street In an antiquated car. The officers riddled the car with bullets, firing nearly 200 shots at the brothers, who took to their heels and dashed down the street. Federal agents had been stationed at an end of the street to Intercept the Hamlltons should they run, but they did not feet a chance at them as the brothers escaped In another direction and got away In the gas company truck, taken from a company garage nearby Mrs.

Mildred Hamilton, Floyd's wife, and another woman arrested in the apartment, were still in custody of federal agents. In his many encounters with officers, Raymond Hamilton has had singular luck, eluding capture by the narrowest of margins on frequent occasions and other times surrendering Just In time to avoid being shot. He Is under death sentence for the killing of a guard, Major Crowson. in an escape from Eastham state prison farm. Some months ago he participated in a wholesale escape from death row at the state penitentiary In Huntsvllle.

Three other ccnvlcts were shot down but Raymond succeeded In scaling the walls to freedom. Officers who saw him last night, clad in dirty overalls and shirt, said he little resembled the dapper bank robber who once was lieutenant In the old Clyde Barrow gang. In the car he abandoned last night were sawed off shotguns, rifles and hundreds of rounds of ammunition, as well as bedding, cooking utensils end other equipment he used In moving about the southwest. Automobile, Smaller Items Stolen Here Theft of a small automobile belonging to N. E.
