which had been sharpened and impro-
vised as a saw. 1t is believed the men
worked most of the night, taking turns
watching and saving. A prisoner in an
adjoining cell informed guard yester-
day morning that he heard the three
men early in the morning.
The men were CHARTERED in No. / cell
on the second floor of the building. They
made rope by taking the covers from
their beds, and slid to the ground a
distance of more than forty feet. When
the discovery of their escape was made
shortly after o'clock, the rope was
found hanging from the window.
Captain Boardman has detailed a
number of detectives to work on the
case, but it is believed the fugitives had
at least two hours the start of the
officers.

LARGE PROFITS FROM
SALE OF STAMP BOOKS
Postoffice Department Will Realize Be
tween $4,000 and $4,000
on Article.

The Postofice Department will prob
ably make profit of between $4,000 and
$50, 900 this year from the sale of stamp
books, though they have been in use but
a comparatively short period.
The books have proven so profitable
and convenient an article OF sale that
considerable anxiety was caused to de-
partment officials by the recent contro-
versy with the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing regarding the poor quality of
parafine paper used in the books, which
caused the stamps to stick to the leaves
and rendered them useless. Numerous
complaints were received at the depart
ment, and the sales of the books fell off
considerably.
Now, however, the bureau is furnish
ing much higher grade OF the paper,
and the sales have largely increased.

RIGHT TO CART GARBAGE
ARGUED BEFORE COURT
Case Involving Contract Entered Into
Between Commissioners and Con-
tractors Heard on Appeal.

What is known as the garbage case
was argued yesterday in the Court OF
Appeals for the District. The question
at issue is whether or not a person other
than the contractor for the removal OF
garbage has a right to cart garbage
through the streets of the District.
Last May Gerald Dupont was tried in
the Police Court for violating the police
regulation relative to the hauling OF
garbage through the streets. He was
found guilty and sentenced by Judge
Scott to pay fine of $50.
Dupont had contracted with Orren G.
Staples, proprietor OF the Riggs House
and the National Hotel, to purchase
garbage and waste at the hostelries, and
had 1t removed through the streets in
water-tight vessels.
The District authorities had, however,
entered into a contract with the Wash
ington Fertilizer Company for the re-
moval of the garbage. The act Of Con-
eress relative to the matter provides
that the contractor shall remove all
garbage. and further prohibits any other
person from SO doing.

Every effort is being made by the To-
cal police to recapture Frank H. Ben
nett. Michael Murphy. and William
Adams. the trio Of professional thieves
who escaped from the District work
house early yesterday morning by saw
ing bar in their cell window. Pictures
of the sugitives have been sent to the
various police chiefs throughout the
country. The Buffalo police of1cials
want the three men on charges of
housebreaking.
The escape of the prisoners 1t is said
will lead to rigid investigation by the
District Commissioners of the condi-
tions at the workhouse. Major Sylves-
ter yesterday talked with Commissioners
West on the subject and it is said that
the responsibility of allowing the men
to escape will be placed on some OF
the attendants, although Superintendent
Stoutenburgh yesterday declared that
his men were vigilant. "It is the fault
of the building The structure is not
fitted for keeping prisoners and We are
short handed" said he. It is like
ly that should the latter statement
prove true Congress will be asked to
provide an additional force of guards.
Shrewdness of professional burglars
was exhibited by the three men in max
ing their escapes. A bar in the cell win
dow had been filed with a piece Of tin

The will was filed for probate in May
last, and month later R. Ross Perry
& Son, representing Mary Fenlon. of
Leavenworth, Kan. filed caveat, pro-
testing against the admission OF the
document to probate. The protest was
based on the allegation that for long
time prior to the date on which the will
was signed by Hampton Y. Dennam, he
was of unsound mind. and not capable
of making a valid contract. 1t was also
stated by the caveator that he made
the will under stress Of undue influence.
IAN Insane Delusion."
Another cayeator is Joseph n. Young
of this city. He also protests against
the probating Of the will on the ground
that it was made while the testator was
laboring under an insane delusicn, and
because of undue influence practiced
upon him.
The others caveators are: Henrietta
Ewing, Lancaster, Ohio. an heir at law;
John H. Lynch. of New York city. an
