BY Outlaws at
Large.

LEAVENWORTH, Kas., Nov. T.
Twenty-six convicts escaped from the
new United States prison here this af-
ternoon. With two revolvers which
had been smuggled into them as weap-
ons they overpowered three guards,
seized number of rifles, fought run
ming fight with the other guards, bat
tered down the gate of the stockade,
and gained their liberty.

became too swift, seized all the horses
they could find on the road, held up
farmers and took their clothing and
money. and then separated into small
parties and headed for the rough coun-

ed. then escaped through a line of
policemen, going east
The leader of the convicts then told
Sheriff Cook that he would be killed if
he made the slightest move toward
their capture. In the meantime the
police officers on the outside were
afraid to do anything because the con-
victs threatened to kill the imprison-
ed officers if they did.
They walked through a Gordon of
police who could easily have captured
them, but the sheriff had given the
convicts his word that they would no-
be m0lested and they were not. After
for some distance the conVict5
suddenly disappeared through hedge
fence.

Director General Buchanan says the
only problem now confronting the Ex-
position is how to find days enough
within the closing weeks to adequately
take care Of the many attractions and
features now being planned. He pre-
diets a great attendance during the
month Of October and one far in ex-
cess Of the highest estimates that have
been made by the most sanguine. In
answer to the inquiry as to whether or
not Buffalo could take care Of the
crowds, he said there was no difficulty
whatever In this regard; that Buffalo
could easily care for 250.00O strangers
every day comfortably and at reason
able prices.

son to believe the same re-
suit will come to the Pan-American Ex-
position at Buffalo, where October Is
always a month Of delightful weather.
The Exposition In point of beauty and
interest is at It's climax, and the pro-
gramme Of special events is such as to
attract and please. September started
with great crowds, and only the TRACE
dy in the Temple of Music, which stun
ned and shocked a world, halted an
overwhelming success in that month.
The Exposition management as a trib-
ute Of respect closed the gates for one
day, Thursday, when the state funeral
Of the third martyred president took
place. The crowds since then have
poured to Buffalo. The Temple Of
Music, now hallowed and historic
ground, has been the Mecca of thou.
sands.
Buffalo has demonstrated her ability
to care for great crowds satisfactorily,
not only in hauling them to the Exposi-
ton by street car and steam railway at
a fare of but 8 cents from any part Of
the city, but to house and feed them at
prices in the reach of all. The stories
Of exorbitant prices were long ago
shown to be fables, and every visitor
who makes the slightest effort to get
accommodation can do so wholly with
In his means.
The Exposition itself. with its beauti-
full buildings, its coloring by day, its
magic lighting at night, its walks and
courts, its canals and lakes. its foun-
talns and statuary, its exhibits and Its
amusements, has been a delight to the
100000 visitors who have already
been to the Pan-American.
The Exposition Company opened UP
the month Of October, beginning Mon
day, Sept. 80, with a Carnival week Of
splendid events, including a baby
coach parade with 1900 school chill
dren singing In the procession, a mon
ster pageant with the floats used In the
New Orleans Mardi Gras and allie
gorical parade and the feature of the
beautiful floral parade at Saratoga.
These will take place ON Thursday and
Saturday, Oct. 3 and 8, but every day
from Sept. 80 to Oct will be replete
with interest. Special fireworks on the
lake, with decorated and Illuminated
launches In a procession of fiery grand
eur, will afford new and wonderful
sensations to the visitors.
Thus October will be ushered in with
a programme so arranged as to give
the American public delightful week.
The life saving drill, daily, has be-
come one Of the great attractions of
the Exposition. 1t tells the story Of the
work of the heroic men who guard the
shores Of ocean and great lakes, al
ways on the alert to drag from deaths
brink the shlpwrecked sailor or pas
sengers. The model camp of United
States marines, the seacoast guns, the
ordnance and all the exhibits showing
wars panoply and our defensive meas
ures have been a great educator to
thousands of visitors. Some military
company is always encamped in the
park, and that part Of the grounds Is
never without interest.
With the magnificent exhibit of the
United States Government and the
South and Central American States
buildings every visitor can spend a
day. No exposition has ever provided
in so compact a space, with such
beauty of architecture and with so
