BROKE FEDERAL JAIL
ELEVEN MEN MAKE THEIR
 ESCAPE.
Some Desperate Characters are in the Gang and Their Recapture is Doubtful--Got Away in
 Daytime. 5.

Tacoma. Wash. Jan. 20.-Eleven of the most desperate prisoners in the United States penitentiary, on McNeilrs Island. made their escape between l and o'clock Sunday afternoon. and up to late hour last night were still at liberty. It was the most daring and successful jail break ever attempted in this State.
 The men at large are:
 w. D. Snyder, sent up from Idaho for robbery; James Campbell, Nome, pick pocket; Thomas Morton, Nome, burg lary: Frank Ainsworlh, Nome. larceny; Harry Davis. Nome, Alaska; Frank Mo ran, true name Ed O'Neil, Spokane Wash, counterfeiters, James Moriarity, Spokane, Wash, counterfeiter; J. P. Stewart, Idaho, counterfeiter; Bruce Ken wight, Nome. manslaughter; James Car roll, Alaska, murderer.
 A hole in the brick wall of cell No. 10, occupied by Convicts Snyder and Davis, reveals the method of escape. The wall is about a foot in thickness, and the floor of the cell is of equal thickness, covered with cement.
 The tunnel was at the junction of the wall. and the floor sIoping outwardly un- til 1t formed a connection with the air chamber two feet below and foot out wardly from the corridoH of the cell The prisoners crawled ot forty feet, to where 1t opened into the boiler room. the open ing being covered by an iron grating
 
 of saws and the prisoners had then only to walk out of the back door of the boiler room. across the yard and scale the board fence. A few yards from the prison grounds and the dense growth of timber afforded them temporarily d safe retreat.
 The prlsone~s took advantage of the latitude allowed them during the dinner hour to consun.nate their plans. which had been carefully designed and boldly executed. One by one the men slipped into cell No. 10 and crawled into the hole unnoticed. When the guards came out and lined the prisoners up for din- her eleven were missing. A brief search resulted in finding the hole in the wall and the guard at once ran to the boiler room where the steel doors swung on its hinges showing that the men had al- ready flown.
 Warden Palmer does not think 1t pos sfble that prisoners secured more than fifteen or twenty minutes start of them. He at once summoned a guard and sent them In pursuit, north of the island, mo- tifying the farmers of their escape and instructing them to guard their boats carefully, that no opportunity would be allowed for escape.
 Warden Palmer has not had time to make thorough investigation, but is unable to realize how the work could have been done without detection The plan which Is most feared will be pursued by the convicts will be to raid some of the numerous farm houses on the islands, secure guns. clothes and boat and then row to the mainland. Among the escaped prisoners arc many desperate men who would not hesitate at murder to accomp- fish their purpose. With SO many at large the farmers would be at their mercy and should they at once get pos of the officers they would fight to the death before being captured.

SLIM CHANCE
 FOR CANAL BILL Not Believed That It Will Pass Senate.
 MORGAN IS NOT TALKING Commissions Report May | Prevent Legislation. He Believes Purchase of the Panama
 Route Would Involve This Coun- try in Endless Litigation. Washington News.
MORGAN IS NOT TALKING

Washington, Jan. 2o.-(Special. )-Sena- tot Morgan and his. followers are not in the least disturbed by the report of the Canal Commission favoring the Panama route. They arc quite as confident as ever that the only feasible scheme for a canal is the adoption of the bill propos- ing the Nicaraguan route.
 While the advocates of the Panama route are jubilant over the report of the commission, of course the Nicaraguan advocates assert they are as strong now as before the report was handed to the President. Senator Morgan will not talk for publication as yet, but from informal conversations he has held with high of- ficials, his views are known. In so far as they relate to the difficulties which beset the Panama route, he believes that the purchase of the Panama route would in- volve this country in endless litigation and the report of the Canal Commission has not shaken him in the least. He does not believe the Colombian Govern ment. will give the necessary concessions and he holds that the refusal of the Pan- anna Railroad stockholders to sell their stock is an effectuai legal block to the purchase in itself.
 There is a general impression here that the report has complicated the situation and it is doubtful if any canal bill at all will be psSeed by this Congress.

CHARITY,
Sarasota, Z

DEAR AUNT JENNIE Charity is,
I think, founded on this: 'Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as myself. y
Someone has said CHARITY begins
at home )" and if we are truly char1
table we will manifest our love first
for those immediately surrounding
US, and then for as many more as
we may. But without love there
cannot be true charity. Paul
said eff I should give all my goods
to feed the poor and haven't love it
will profit me nothing"
"Yo' religious good works amt wo'th
nothin'
Unless love yO' actions fill
1t is just a sugar cOatin'
On the same old bitter pill"
The "widow's mite" was great
in the sight of God because it was
great love that prompted the sacri-
fee. ITO serve with lofty gifts the
lowly needs of the poor race for
which the Goldman died-and do it
all for love-oh, this is greatI"
Charity does not consist in giving
such things as are useless to us, but
rather in sacrificing some luxury or
pleasure, or possibly denying our
selves something we really need.
Those who give employment to
the ''worthy poor" do a noble work
indeed. He who builds factories
and mills, and gives employ ment to
those otherwise unemployed does a
greater work, if possible, than he
who endows charitable institutions
with large sums of money.
