ESCAPED From Franklin Jail.

Hampton. Ia. July 21.-John Harms
escaped from the Franklin county jail
last Saturday night by cutting a hole
through the roof, and afterward stole Il
horse and buggy to assist him in his
flight. The horse with which Harms
left this city was found the next day
by farmer near the town of Hansell
and 1t is thought that Harms took the
train from that place and abandoned
the horse. The other prisoners in the
Jail claim that they know nothing
about the escape and that they did not
find 1t out until after Harms had gone.
Where Harms secured his knife to cut
his way out Is still mystery. The

WILL SEE PRESIDENT.
But Presidents Turning Down of First
Committee of Miners is
keenly Fell,

Wlkesbarre, Pa, July Pill took the
Central Labor union delegates three
hours to decide to send their commits
tee back to see President Roosevelt aft
er failing to present their petitions last
Tuesday.
During that time the opposition to
this plan. comprising one-third of the
delegates, fought it vigorously with
voice and gesture. SO vigorous were
the speeches in fact. that the delegates
resolved that nothing must be told to
anyone except the fact that the COM
ident.
1t was declared that there had been
so much talk that further discussion In
the papers would have n bad effect. In
n word, there was a marked political
flavor to these objections to publicity,
and every delegate as he left the room
was strictly enjoined to say he would
know nothing il accosted by anyone.
There We're twenty-three present, and
of these six or seven voiced their opin-
ion of the treatment received by the
committee in no uncertain voice, at
ter the report of Burke and Herskokitz
was heard.
The arguments on each side We're
vigorous. the opposition declaring that
once and that was enough consider
ing that they represented 225,000 work
ingmen. They did not want to give
the president the opportunity to make
amends at this late dag.
d. j. Davis. the man whose tele-
gram to the president resulted in the
latte2's offer to see the committee, Was
refused admission to the meeting and
this action was repudiated.
1t is said with much heat that he
had no authority to represent either
the Central Labor union or the mine
workers. and his kilograms We're not
accepted. So bitter was the feeling
that 1t was ordered that President John
b. Walsh should himself send tele-
gram to the president. and accordingly
Walsh tonight sent this:
To William Loeb. jr.. Secretary 10 the
President. You can arrange to receive Il
committee of the Central Labor union to
see the president on Tuesday afternoon.
