Salem House the Scene of Consid-
cradle Excitement, But Officers
Fail to Arrest Any One.
Iamates Escaped Through Trap Doors. Although
the place Was Surrounded by Deputy
Sheriffs and Constables.

Deputy Sheriff Curkendall, together
with Constable Ed Sutton, and slcssrs.
F. j. Eherct, Earnest Randolph, Bond,
and Sample, who were specially dcpu-
tized, made raid on the speakeasy and
hosue of i'll fame alleged to be conducted
by Lloyd Davis at Salem Thursday
night.
They were armed with warrants,
which had been secured in Squire Cor
don's court beforehand. The warrants
were sworn out by F. }. Eherct.
In making the raid the officers enter
ed the house by the front door and the
rear door. It seems that there is trap
door somewhere in the center of the
house. and when they heard the officers
coming all of the inmates escaped
through it into a laundry building next
door, where they kept in hiding. Tie
officers searched the entire four stories
of the house, but found no one.
It was learned the next morning that
the inmates had escaped through the
trap doc into the laundry building and
had thus made good their escape. They
are in hiding at present someplacc. and
viii probably stay hid until the officers
get away.
Among the warrants the officers had
was one for the arrest of Fillmore Davis.
which charged him with conducting the
house of i'll fame. While Deputy Sheriff
CurkendaH was going down one OF the
principal streets of the town this after
noon he saw Davis coming out of a housc
further down the street. He started
after Davis. but the latter broke into a
run and finally made his escape, but not
until the deputy sheriff had chased him
for about threc.quarters of 4 mile.
The officers are stin on the grounds
and are keeping a looEou, Tor the in-
mates of the house. There will probably
be several arrests made if tie latter
make an attempt to come from tlte;r
hiding places,

STATES ALONG THE OHIO
To Pay Part on the River Improve
ment.

ment.
River men are thinking pretty
seriously about the suggestion
made by Congressman T, E. Bur
ton of the com mittee on Harbors
and Rivers, namely that the vari.
Gus States along the Ohio river pay
a part of the expense Of the slack
watering that stream from Pitts
burg to Cairo. The cost OF the
contemplated improvement, as es'
timated by Congressman Burton,
would be from S7o,ooo,ooo to
$I25, 600, 900.
Though there Is no good reason,
according to Captain James A.
Henderson of the Pittsburg and
Cincinnati Packet line, why the
government should not bear all the
expense, even though 1t should be
S125 100000, about which such a
cry has been raised still the sugges'
ton that the states bear part IS
we'll worth consideration.
On the Erie canal, a waterway by
no means so important as the Ohio
river, the State of New York IS
spending $500, 100000. With Its
tributaries and comparatively great
extent the Ohio river IS water
way In ar entirely different sense.
On It's banks are manufacturing
plants, mines and other means OF
originating traffic. With these nat
ural advantage 1t can't but be OF
vastly more importance than the
Erie canal.
If 1t Is worth while, therefore, for
the state Of New York TO spend
| 500, 900 on the canal 1t must
be much mere worth while for the
various states along the Ohio to
spend SI25,ooo,ooo on the river
that Is an important watercourse to
half dozen states.
Being for the public good, so
concludes Captain Henderson's re-
marks on the matter. the govern
ment should naturally bear the ex-
pense. but In case II refuses then
the Ohio river States should bear a
part and have made the improve
ments that are necessary on this
waterway that Is of importance to
so many people.
