ON THE TRAIL OF THE

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. II. - Four
prisoners escaped from the Ohio pen
itentiary last night by climbing to the
roof of cell block through ventila-
tor and sliding down rope made of
strips of leather betting to the lawn
in front of the prison. The fugitives
are:

Cuyahoga county for burglary and
larceny; Thomas Gallagher. aged 80,
received from Lorain county for
burglary and attempting to blow a
safe. He was serving fifty years.
Escape Daring One.
The escape of the prisoners was a
daring one. The cell block from
which they made their exit is in front
of the big prison, and the men dropped
to the ground beneath the window in

,oner seated at desk near a window
saw the last man, who fell before he
reached the end of the rope, limp
away in the darkness. The alarm
was given and a posse of prison
guards armed with Winchesters inn
mediately started in pursuit. 1t is
thought the men ran to the railroad
yards near by and boarded an outgo-
ing freight train
Bloodhounds were brought here
from Dayton, Ohio. late last night to
run down the escaped prisoners. The
hounds quickly caught the trail, but
no word has yet been received from
the pursuing party.

MORAL VICTORIES IN
THE LAST CONGRESS
The Rev. o. r. Miller De-
livers Encouraging Address
in St. Paul's Church

The Rev. o. II. Miller field secretary
OF the Reform Bureau. OF Washington,
d. G., spoke at st. Paul's NJ. E. Church
last evening on Recent Moral Vic
tories in Congress-" He told especially
OF the work OF the recent Congress,
though he also referred to some i'm
portant moral victories in the preced-
ing Congress.
Among the moral measures passed
by the last Congress, Mr.. Miller men,
toned the Gillett-Lodge BILL to forbid
American traders selling liquor in the
New Hebrides Islands. This is the
measure so long asked for by the Rev.
Dr. John G. Patton. the famous mis-
sionary to the New Hebrides Islands.
President Roosevelt presented the Re
form Bureau with the pen with which
he signed this bill, as the bill was
drawn up by that organization.
The bill appropriating 100000 for
temperance canteens. for amusement
rooms. gymnasiums, etc, was passed
largely through the work OF the
American Anti Saloon League.
The bill to forbid the inclosing of
picture cards, etc, in tobacco packages,
which produce gambling and impurity,
was secured largely through the work
Of the w. c. T. u.
The Reform Bureau also was largely
instrumental in securing the passage
OF that measure to suppress liquor SELL
ing in all immigrant stations. 1t was
drawn up by the Reform Bureau, and
introduced into Congress at the Bu-
reah's request.
The initiative for securing that bill
to prohibit liquor selling in the Capt.
tol Building was due to Congressman
Tandis, OF Indiana.
Mr.. Miller described the importance
and influence Of these various bills. He
also spoke of several other important
measures which have passed in recent
Congresses that were drawn up by the
Reform Bureau. He mentioned in
particular the anti-divorce bill of the
District of Columbia, the bill closing
| by contract the gates of the ST. Louis
fair on the Sabbath; the Senate reso-
luton favoring an international treaty
TO suppress liquor selling among all
uncivilized races OF the world.
The intense interest Of the congrega-
tion in the address was seen in the
fact that after he had spoken for one
hour, and tried to stop, that the audi
ence kept asking him questions, and
thus kept him talking some little time
longer Everybody seemed delighted
with the hopeful view which the
speaker took of reform work.

OBJECTIONS To
S24O.OOO bill
Citizens Say 1t Would Take
That Amount to Do the
Curbing
MACADAM TEST SUFFICIENT DEPTH
Other Sections Of the Bill Will Have to
Be Moderated Before il Meets Pub
lie Acknowledgements All in
One Section.

There Is much discussion over the bill
now before the Legislature providing for
an appropriation OF $4,000, to he used by
the Street and Sewer Department for the
Improvement OF streets. While all citi-
zens and taxpayers favor having the
streets improved, the majority Of them
are opposed to many sections OF the pres
ent bill.
The bill is backed by Peter ]. Ford and
others, and some parts OF 1t does not even
meet with the approval Of the Street and
Sewer Directors. The directors think that
there are many streets that need fixing
more than those mentioned in the bill. On
Wednesday night next the directors VIII
meet members of City Council. when the
mauter OF what streets need improve
merits will be discussed and decided on.
The principal objection to the bill is the
macadam pavement. 1t calls for The ma
cadam to be but thirteen inches deep.
when It has been demonstrated time and
again that 1t will not wear. 1t Is the gen.
eral opinion that 1t should be at least
eighteen inches.
The greater portion Of the streets named
in the bill are not even curbed and st
would be necessary to have all OF them
curbed where the improvements are made.
Under the present law property owners
must petition the Street and Sewer De-
partment for curblng but the city can do
the work and then enter a lien against
the property owners. but it would be some
time before the city would get the money
for the work. This would necessitate the
paying out Of practically all the s24O,OOC
for curbing.
Another serious objection is that the
bin provides that streets be paved in or.
der named This would naturally result
In one part OF 1.-THE city getting all tn,
Improvements: BY the time the work o.
the West Side would be finished the none,
would be exhausted and It would prob
ably be another year before anythins
could be done i'm other sections.
The bill also provides that one stree
be finished at a time. which many citizens
think IS a mistake. The public think
that the worse parts should be finIshe,
first.
II the above objections were wiped out
1t is likely that the public would approv,
the bill.
