CONVICTS FILE OFF
THEIR SHACKLES
Attempt of Mutneers to Escape From
Leavenworth Prison While Be-
Ing Tried.

LE,AVENJNCRTH,K Kan, Oct. 1S. -
Officers Of the federal penitentiary
have discovered that Gilbert Mullins
and Bob Clark, two Of the five con-
Wet mutineers, had filed off their
shackles and were making prepara-
tions to escape during their trial. The
convicts had filed the chain shackle off
and tied 1t with e. string where it was
fastened above the ankle. A file was
found In the cell of one Of the prison
ers and 1t is believed that 1T was slip
ped to than in the court room, which
was crowded.
During the trial a man who is be-
lieved to have been Clark's brother,
was seen signaling to one of the pris-
oners. Nothing was thought Of the
matter until the mems cells were
searched later. In the meantime the
stranger, who is believed to have been
concerned in the plot, disappeared.
The five men are to be tried for
murder for the killing Of Guard Wald-
rupe during the outbreak at the fed
eral prison at Fort Leavenworth last
November, when twentysix convicts
escaped.

Special to The Globe.

DENVER Col, Oct. 1S.-I do not pay
any more attention to such statements
from such source than do to a yellow
cur that might bark at my heels in the
Streets" said Gen. Funston today,
speaking of a resolution adopted by
the prohibition club censuring him for
his advocacy of the canteen.
Childish twaddle of that kind really
is not worth answering, The resolu-
ton is nothing but a personal attack
upon me. 1t is abuse of. personality
and the people who descended to such
language and criticism of me lowered
themselves, if they had indeed to be
lowered, to the level of the street
ruf1ian. Their criticism savors more of
the slums than it does of people who
pretend to have an object in life of up
building humanity.
'If these people or any people who
have been criticising my report Of the
Department Of the Colorado on the can
teen question would come forward with
arguments to support their criticism. If
they would adhere to facts, then there
would be something to base an answer
upon"
