WORK OF JAIL BREAKERS
Three Prisoners Make Their Es-
cape From the County Jail.

An attempt on the part of prison
ers confined in the county jail to
make their escape was carried to q
successful finish last night.
Those escaping were Fred Grooms,
burglary; Aron Zadick, theft, and
Clarence Curry, murder.
Grooms is the man arrested and
jailed some time ago on charge of
burglarizing the store of the
Ellis County Hardware Company.
Since his Incarceration in jail
one or two other charges of bur
glary have been fled against
him. Zadick had been in jail only
few days and was charged with
the theft of watch from party at
Ferris last winter. At the last
term of the district court Curry was
tried on charge of murder. Thejury
| returned verdiS: Of manslaughter
and assessed his punishment at five
years in the penitentiary. His ap-
peal is now pending In the court of
criminal appeals at Austin. His es-
cape from jail forfeits his appeal
and II he Is caught be will have to
serve lis term.
| The reporter visited the jail this
morning and from what he could
learn it appears that the work of
breaking out was done exclusively
by Grooms. He took no one into
his confidence and when he had
made hole in the wall large enough
for his body to pass through he ad-
vised the other prisoners who were
in the cell with him TO remain where
they were. After be had gone, how
ever, Curry and Zadick took advan-
tage of the opportunity to gain
their freedom.
For the past day or two machin-
lists have been at work making some
repairs on the revolving cell in
which the white prisoners are con
fined at night. While this work has
been in progress the prisoners have
been kept in the hospital ward and
IL was from this department that the
escape was made. The hospital
ward is on the north side of the Jail
In the second story. There are
three windows ip this department,
alI OF which are securely protected
with iron bars. Inside OF each win
dow is a heavy screen Of iron bars
which is always kept fastened
with "A strong paddock. Last night
the paddock on the middle window
was broken of which permitted the
/ iron screen 10 be opened. When
this was done a hole large enough
for the prisoners 10 pass through
was made under the window sill by
| digging out the brick and mortar.
After finishing the hole Grooms tied
a blanket to one of the window bars
and on this improvised rope slid
down To the ground. Soon after
making his escape he was followed
by Curry and Zadick.
! The other prisoners who had an
opportunity to escape were Henry
Willis, Sam Bradshaw, John Au-
trey, Frank Twiggs and Ellis Clar-
| idy. At the last term OF the dis
trtct court Willis was tried for the
killing OF Claud Shaw. He was
found guilty OF murder in the sec
ond degree and his punishment as
sessed at forty years in the peni-
tfntiary. A charge Of highway rob-
berry is pending against Sam Brad
shaw. He has been out under bond,
bat was given up by his bondsmen
few days ago and returned TO jail.
Frank Twiggs was among the num-
| ber convicted at the last term of the

LABOR AND BUILDING.

There is a tendency TO put the
blame for the general stilding decline
upon labor The exacuons Of the un-
ions are becoming intolerable, It is
said.
There may be some grain Of truth
in it. No doubt the demands Of the
unions have had material effect in
making building more difficult
But it is impossible to class this as
the sole cause or even as the chief
one.
The fact that all building materials
are controlled by trusts and that prices
have been arbitrarily raised all along
the line calls for serious consideration.
The fact is that the prices complain
ed Of have been exorbltant for several
years
The big percentages OF increase in
the price or electrical supplies is
wholly without warrant and was due
primarily TO the formation of electrical
pools
Prices of plumbing have been af-
fested in the same way They are
fixed by a combine.
Contractors have had a great deal
20 complain about In the jump in the
cost of lumber The same reason ap-
plies once more.
The truth is that many building
plans have been abandonc1 before the
question Of labor entered into the dis
cussion at all. simply because OF the
high prices of materials.
OF course labor is a factor in the
production Of supplies and It's demands
figure in the excesses for high prices,
but Il has merely Joined the process
sion. Demands of labor for higher !
pay IN these trades came as result of
the high prices ann OF joint desire I
TO share in the prosperity, rather
than as a cause.
Prospective builders have come TO
feel that the supply dealers are taking
TOO great an advantage Of the pros
perity cry and hat a waiting policy is
advisable

Resides. Il IL possible that The busi
ness prospect OF the near future ia not
such as to Justify Is heavy invest
ments in building as there have beep
in the past few years. Capital Is irs
undated and is taking no chancs.
Labor Is always convnient scape-
goat. Almost any Industrial enter
prise IN which labor is largely Involved
might pay at any time and despite
aay adverse conditions II only labor
would consent to sacrifice its share
But labor must live. The universal
increase in cost of necessaries Of life
compels labor to demand more pay-
Demands for increase in wages may
be prompted less by greed than by
necessity The greed lies elsewhere.
There is no question that labor has
many times made demands thai are
unjust. But # is not to be forgotten
that trusts have more often made un-
just extortions and that labor has pa
tiently borne not only injustice bat

ABOUT coal PRICES.

Editor Leader; ] read with some
pleasure what the Leader recently
said about the mysterious and sudden
advance in the price of coal, and also
what Citizen" said about the South
McAlester coal trust, both Of which
was timely and to the point | do not
blame the people OF Guthrie for exhib-
iting a little temper and giving express
sion to some Indignation. They cer-
ltainly have grounds for It. You re-
member as scores OF others remember
that one Of the chief arguments used
before the Guthrie Commercial .club
by those representing the Fort Smith
and Western railroad to get our peo-
pie to subscribe 10 the bonus fund for
that road, was that 1t would cheaper
coal so that all could use IT, Nor did
this forcem argument stop inside the
club room but the soliciting commit
tee played ID ic ali that was out on
The streets in the stores anc in the
workshops. and hundreds signed the
notes for more than they were really
able to pay hoping to get a part of il
back through cheaper fuel
do not know whether the local coal
dealer referred to by Citizen, knew
all about this South McAlester coal
trust and its purposes with regard TO
fixing the prices but do know that a
prominent dealer in Guthrie stated in
my presence that the price of every
ton Of coal shipped into Guthrie from
the Indian territory was controlled by
the South McAlester coal trust com
pany and that was the reason for the
sud zen jump skyward few years
ago when the capacity OF coal cars
was from twelve to eighteen tons per
car Pennsylvania and Indiana coal
was shipped to Missouri. Iowa and
other western points and sold at 81
yer ton, the hauling distance being
from 500 70 500 miles. With the
present hauling capacity the tonnage
per car has been increased from 40
10 ,D tons. while the expenses are
about tie same. When the close
proximity Of these India9p territory
mines to Gu hrie is considered, one
may wen question the Justice ana
honesty of the motives of the trust
company in fixing such outrageous
prices and the combining Influences
which brought IL about
There is a rumor on he streets
which appears well founded, to the
effect that the Fort Smith and West
