! cd with a steel saw by Lyman
county man some time about Thanks
giving and that Jack Sully sawed his
way out Of jail. This is the third or
fourth statement made as to now
Jack got away. The fact that the
saving was lone from the OUTSIDE
: makes it impossible for Jack to have
been on the outside and sawed his
, way into the Jail. It would nav
been impossible for him to have
: sawed away the inner door from the
position he would have had TO gel

CHICAGO TTE-UP BROKEN.
Cars Run on Wentworth Avenue Line--Only
One Serious Blockade.

CHICAGO, Ill.,, Nov. 13.-The tie-up caused
by the strike Of the Chicago City Railway
Company's employees was broken to-day
when electric cars of the Wentworth avenue
line made three successful trips from the
Seventy-seventh street barns to Washington
street and back.
Several attempts to form blockades were
made by union teamsters, but the only
serious incident occurred at O'Clock on
the return trip of ten cars sent out on the
second trip. When the first Of the cars
reached Van Buren, street a large crowd
was encountered and strenuous work was
required to make passage.
An express wagon was struck by the first
car and jammed against several other
vehicles. This had scarcely been straight
ened out when heavy truck drove
in front of the third car The teamster
refused to move, and Lieut.. Miller jumped
on the wagon and, taking the reins drove
the horses to one side. Then the crowd
held back the horses.
No attempt was made to run cars on the
other lines of the company, and few pas
sengers were carried on the Wentworth
Avenue line.
The strike situation was complicated
late this afternoon when the fremen in six
power houses on the South Side went on
strike. The reason assigned for this is
that Manager McCulloch refused to listen
to their plans for mediation.

PLOT TO FLEE FROM ASYLUM.
One hoy Did Get Guitars Sawed With
HOne-Made Files.


The West I52d street police last night
sent out an alarm" for fifteen year-old
William Mckay, who escaped from the
New York Juvenile Asylum. at 17eth street
and Amsterdam avenue, on Tuesday. That
Is how the story OF an unsuooeesful attempt
Of twenty-five or thirty other boys to escape
on Monday became public.
The boys, who were bent on getting
away, according to the police, had obtained
a number of knives and spoons and by
hard work succeeded in making files, with
which they sawed through a number OF
bars on the third floor of the dormitory
on the Audubon avenue side OF the grounds.
The work of preparation, it is said. was
done under the ringleadership Of young
Mckay. who is regarded as almost incor-
rigibie and who had already escaped from
the institution twice. The wholesale de-
livery was planned for Monday night, but
according to the police, five OF the boys
who had Joined in the plot kicked over
the traces at almost the last moment and
sent one of their number to Supt, Hills
with the whole story.
On Monday evening five guards went
to the third floor of the dorInitory, found
the severed bars had been cut through
and at once moved number Of the boys
to cells. Several of these boys feigned
sleep. the guards say.
Young Mckay was put in cell by him
self and was last seen there at 3 O'Clock
on Tuesday afternoon. At that time,
the guards say, his cell was securely locked.
Half an hour later the cell was found empty
The lock had been smashed and the door
was ajar.
The guards were unable to find young
Mckay and the police we're notified. They
kept the matter quiet till last evening.

UNION TREASURER LEAPS FROM
AN UPPER TIER OF CELLS.

lem branch OF the carpenters union,
killed himself in the Tombs prison yester-
day afternoon by jumping over the railing
surrounding the third tier OF cells in what
il known as the "old prison" He fell
thirty feet to the concrete floor below and
was instantly killed.
Schmidt was 81 years old and lived at
2se4 Madison avenue. He was arrested on
Nov. s on a charge of grand larceny on the
complaint of Fred n. Warrington of PIP
East l23d street, who ia president OF the
union. Warrington alleged that the treas
urer had embezzled large sum OF money
belonging to the organization. Schmidt,
after being locked in the Tombs, told one Of
the turnkeys that he had been falsely ar
cused.
Il paid out $1e4 for the union" he e1-
planned, "and neglected to take receipts
for the money. For that reason my ac-
counts were questioned. Then the men
who had received the money denied that
they had been paid and the charge was
made against me.
While in the Tombs he had no visitors.
Members Of the union whom he begged
to come and hear his explanations ignored
his appeals, although some Of them received
Two or more messages from hiHl' Inns
troubled him greatly. Every morning
he would ask if any letters had been received
for him and many times during the day he
inquired for callers.
For several days past the guards noticed
that he was growing more despondent, and
when his cell was opened at 2 o'clock yes
terday afternoon one of them spoke en-
couragingly to him. Schmidt did not ap-
pear to hear what was said TO him.
Contrary to his custom he did not spend
the two hours for exercise in walking about
the court. but stood near the door of his cell
until he thought il was time for the keepers
to lock him up again. Then he suddenly
leaped over the railing and fell among the
frightened prisoners in the court below.
The other prisoners were Immediately
locked in their cells, and DR.. Reed of Belle

SUBWAY READY NEXT MONTH.
l8ut Passenger Trains Won't He Run TIL
spring, Parsons Says.

Chief Engineer William Barclay Parsons
Of the Rapid Transit Commission said
yesterday that the subway from City Hall
to i04th street would be completed some
time next month He said:
1T is not generally known how nearly
we have approached the completion Of
the tunnel in Manhattan. With the ex-
ception of few short gaps we have the
tunnel nearly finished. and tracks have
been laid for the greater part of the dis
tance between Walker street and Seventy
seventh street. Fairly next month we will
have an unbroken line of tracks laid through
the subway from the City Hall to IO4th
street"
Mr.. Parsons said that not later than
March or April the tunnel would be open
for regular passenger traffic.
Asked why, if 1t would be possible to
run experimental trains next month, it
would be necessary to wait for three months
or more before the carrying Of passengers
was begun. Mr. Parsons said:
For one thing the power house is not
completed. The company can purchase
enough power lot experimental tralns, OUT
not for regular traffic, Also. time will be
required for testing the rold and signals
and for breaking in the men who will oper-
ate the trains"
Mr.. Parsons did not say how soon sur
face conditions along the route of the tun-
mel would be rest ored. This part of the
route is being done so slowly that several
sufferers along the highway of bankruptcy
in Forty-second street were talking yes
terday of suing the city.
