Other Rumors Advanced Although theriThas been more or less speculation regarding appointments to be made by Mayor-elect James W. Nelson, who takes office May 6, there has been no official information given out to date. However, there have been various rumors concerning certain appointments. It is. understood, from a source, that Attorney James K.

Oavanaugh, one of Freeport's younger attorneys, will receive the post of city attorney.

Adams, now city sexton, to the position of city wclghmaster to take the place of John C. Hagedoru, who was defeated for the office of city treasurer last Tuesday. Mr.

Adams served aa welghmaster during Mr. Nelson's previous administration, but was shifted by the present administration to the cemetery job. The names of Dr. R. J.

Burns, former health commissioner, and Dr, F. J. Sullivan have been mentioned In connection with the £ost of health commissioner, while It is said others are seeking the position. The possibility of restoring the position of general inspector, held by the late William Kuhlenkampff and now handled by city motorcycle policemen, is being considered. It has been talked that this place will be given to Rudolph Franz, who was defeated by Mr.

Nelson at the primaries last February. Mr. Franz was at one time connected with the Freeport police department, serving as warden. It Is not expected that any definite announcements will be made by Mr. Nelson for the next two or three weeks.

Deputy Clerk Carl J. Krueger, re-elected city clerk, has Indicated he will retain the services of Miss Mary Reardon while treasurer-elect George Loveland said today he had no, announcement to make regarding his deputy.

rmujrs A. J. I.UEBBINC R. R. IIEPNER SECRETARY ICKES HOLDS ALTOGETHER TOO MANY JOBS As Almost Necessary Consequence He Gets Into Trouble with Himself Washington, D.

April Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes has finally worked himself into Just the position that his critics said he would if he took on all those govern ment jobs. Ickes, as most folks know, Is oil administrator and PWA administrator besides being secretary of the interior. All these responsibilities have got him into a pretty fix. The trouble developed when a proposal presented to him as PWA head that a survey be made to determine feasibility for transferring water from the Colorado river basin to the basin of the South Platte river.

The water would be. used to irrigate land in the vicinity for the purpose of growing sugar beets. In his PWA capacity Ickes authorized the spending of $150,000 make the survey. The declamation bureau which he heads by virtue of his interior post was to do the job. The joker popped up when it developed that the water would be withdrawn at the expense of national parks in Colorado.

Ickes heads the national parks, too, through his interior post. The reclamation bureau supported the project. The national park service opposed it. As head of all the organisations Ickes has to decide what's to be done. The situation has him on the spot and he warned newspapermen not to be surprised if they catch him walking around the corridors talking to himself and shouting yes and no alternately to the thin air.

Temporarily. Ickes thinks he 1ms found a way of postponing a decision he has turned the whole question over to the geological survey for a recommendation, oil, yes. geological survey is another department which Ickes directs. PHONE 3100 SATURDAY, APRIL $, TAKES PLACE ON 1.13 DEATHS C. 0.

OFFICERS ENCOUNTER HIM IN FT, WORTJHjAILWAY YARDS Under Death Sentence When Be Escaped from Prison He Had Sworn Not to Be Taken Alive Dallas, Tex.

April Raymond Hamilton, southwestern desperado and one of a trio labelled by the department of justice as No. 1. public enemy, was behind bars today for the first time since he escaped from the Texas penitentiary death row. The slippery 22-year-old bandit, an understudy of the slain Clyde Barrow and ranked in the criminal world with Alvln Karpis and Thomas H. Robinson, was captured last night without ft shot being fired.

Although he had sworn never to be taken alive, Hamilton submitted meekly when sheriff Smoot Schmlfl, his deputies and Fort Worth officers encountered the bandit in the railroad yards at Fort Worth. Deputy Sheriff Bill Becker of Dallas county poked a gun into his ribs anV told him, "hoist 'em, Ray" and Hamilton obeyed. Hamilton was rushed to the Dallas county Jail, where plans were made to take him to the prison at Huntsville for electrocution as the murderer of Major Crowson, prison guard slain in a penitentiary delivery engineered by Barrow. Manager Lee Simmons of the Texas prison system and Warden W. W.

Wald left Huntsville immediately after the capture for Dallas to arrange to have Hamilton returned to the prison. The desperado maintained, even in the face of the capture that meant his almost certain death, the air of bravado he had carried through his widespread depredations. lie Has Brief Interval Left In sharp contrast to the fate of John Dlllinger, Baby Face Nelson, Barrow and others trailed relentlessly by department of justice agents and other officers, Hamilton had to face a wait behind bars before being put completely out of the way. The department of Justice wanted Hamilton for robbery of two national guard armories and for bank robbery. U.

S. District Attorney Clyde O. Eastus said the government was ready for trial in the cases. He said the government was ready to seek the death penalty on a bank robbery charge should any come in the state's death sentence against the bandit. The capture was made through a tip picked up by detectives at Dallas.

The police officers noticed a man, obviously a stranger to the district, cruising in a cab through the west Dallas district, formerly 'frequented by Hamilton and his companions. They questioned the man, who DAKOTA HIGH SCHOOL LlTEfMRY CONTEST TO BE 'TOMOAY The ftakota high school literary contests will be held Tuesday, April 9.
