SEVEN men ESCAPE
FROM PmENITENTIARY
Wholesale Delivery From Sioux
Falls Prison of Desperate
Characters.
TWO HAVE BEEN RETAKEN
Pursuers Wounded Two Of the Remain.
ing Fleeing Men, But They Man
aged to Secrete Themselves
in Dense Woods.

sioux Falls, s.. d., Oct. S.-one OF
the most sensational and wholesale
escapes In the history of the Sioux
Falls penitentiary occurred when sew
en- desperate prisoners made a break
for liberty. The escape was made from
d new building which is in course Of
construction at the penitentiary. The
alarm IA promptly given and every
available guard az attache OF the
prison was speeding in pursuit. After
an exciting chase two OF the fugitives,
James Andrews and Thomas Burns,
both under sentence Of twelve years
for highway robbery, were r~e~captured.
Two Of the remaining five were
wounded by the fusillade of shots which
was fired after the escaping prisoners.
The two wounded men dropped to the
ground and for a brief time it was
thought that they had been killed, but
they managed to gain their feet and
take refuge in the bushes on the bot
tom land along the Big Sioux river.
Darkness prevented an effective
search being continued, the five fugi-
tives evidently having secured safe
hiding places In the timber along the
river.
The FIVE Who are yet at liberty are:
Frank Howard, q recent arrival, who
was serving a term for ~postoffice rob-
berry. aged 30 years; five feet eleven
and one-half inches in height; weight,
I65 pounds; light blue eyes, brown
hair. crooked nose.
Frank Taylor, serving eight years
for bank burglary. aged 40 years; five
feet six and one-half inches In height;
weight, 10 pounds, brown eyes, dark
gray hair; sallow complexion; stout
build.
George white, serving seven years
and six months for burglary, aged 80
years; five feet six and one-half inches
in height; weight, 162 pounds; brown
hair; blue eyes; dark complexion.
John Lee, serving four years for
burglary. aged % years; five feet FIVE
and one-half inches in height; weight,

Ed Gordon, serving four years for
postofice robbery, aged 50 years; five
feet and eleven inches in height;
weight, 1874 pounds; pale blue eyes;
sandy complexion; light brown hair;
slim build; Roman nose.
All the fugitiyes wore Scotch caps,
checkered hickory shirts with blue
stripes, and jeans pants.
1t is believed that the fugitiyes may
attempt TO make their way to Sioux
City. Omaha. st. Paul or Minneapolis.
"A liberal reward has been offered by
Warden Swensen for their capture.

RELIGION Is DECADENT
Archbishop of Canterbury Delivers His
Promised Message to Americans
at Episcopal Assembly.

Boston, Oct. S.--When the house Of
deputies of the Episcopal church as
sembled today there was a large at
tendance of visitors in anticipation Of
the presence of the archbishop of Can
terbury who yesterday announced he
would deliver a message to the Ameri-
can church. The t~riennial conference
of the woman's auxiliary to the board
of missions formally opened today and
was largely attended. The house of
bishops continued it's sessions behind
closed doors.
The archbishop dwelt at length upon
the necessity for safeguarding the peo-
pie of America and England against
the grave peril of the already certain
deCadence of definite religion in the
ordinary home. Continuing, he said:
People speak sometimes of the tiles
and links" which unite our church in
England with yours in the United
States. But are the words appropriate?
We are learning, / hope, to regard the
relationship in all essential things as
one Of identity rather than affiliated
and fraternal. If my presence in yo.r
convention be permitted in the provi-
dence of God to promote in any degree
the efficiency of our church's life as a
banded force for the lettering OF what
is amiss in public or in private things,
for the ceaseless fight against impurity,
~seiishness, greed. ignorance, apathy,
cowardice and half-heartedness, I shall
rejoice indeed"

MA Y COME COME T FGG AMERICA
But President Will Not Invite Nations
to Peace Congress Till the War
Is Over.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE president has
decided, on the advice of Secretary Hay.
to take no action toward calling a second
conference of The Hague peace congress
until after the close OF the war between
Russia and Japan. When It finally is
called 1t Is not impossible that ii will be
held in Washington instead of at The
Hague.
The president promised the delegates to
the interparliamentary union that he
would issue the invitations for the con-
gress sat an early date but he has
since concluded that the present Is not
an opportune time for a second step to-
ward international arbitration. Japan and
Russia were two of the principal signers
to the first Hague convention. Both are
opposed to a call for a second congress
now on the ground that 1t might lead to
an attempt at Intervention. Fosrthe same
reason England and France, aiies OF the
warning powers, are opposed to any action
by the president while the war is on. Tn
official inquiries by American diplomats
at other European capitals convinced Mr..
Hay that invitations to a peace congress
would not now be received with favor.
If Mr.. Roosevelt is In the White House
when the war ends he will at once open
negotiations with the nations to secure
their views as TO the time and place for
holding the congress. These preliminaries
1t is now stated, may take a year. on
account of the expense involved In enter
tanning the congress-, 1t will not be forced
on The Hague. If the government OF the
Netherlands extends an invitation. the
congress doubtless will be held there. but
otherwise 1t may meet in Switzerland ar
some other small European country. or in
washington. II a sentiment favorable to
the American capital is developed. con-
sress will be asked TO appropriate a fund
with which to entertain the delegates.

kuRoPATklN TO COMMAND.
Friends Assert He Will Be Made Head
of Manehurian Army.

St. Petersburg, Oct. IA great deal
of uncertainty exists concerning mo-
mentous changes with which the,
tongues OF everybody have been busy
in st. Petersburg ever since the formal
announcement of the formation of a
second Manchurian army. The delay
in the announcement of a commander
in chief of the Mancllurian army,
which has been daily expected, is now
said to be due to Emperor Nicholas
intention TO wait until Viceroy AleXieff'
shall have started for st. Petersburg
The viceroy's return in a very short
time Is everywhere taken for granted,
and receives credence in the highest
circles, but concerning the exact status,
he will occupy there is a great diver
gence of opinion. In the best informed
circles the belief is expressed that
Alexieff's return does not mean his ef-l
Placement. but that the emperor will
take occasion to bestow upon him un-i
unsuitable marks of his royal favor
HIS friends assert that he viii become
the emperor's adviser, not only on far
eastern affairs, but on all questions of
foreign policy. Count Lamsdorff's ad-
ministration Of Russian foreign affairs
was the subject of persistent criticismI
by a certain party, called the war party
before the war, and his recent success
full efforts to secure concessions in the
matter of recognition of rights Of neut-
raj commerce were obtained against
some obstinately hostile and powerful
influence. Consequently Count Lams-
dorff's enemies freely predict that
Alexieff will control the foreign office
actually, If not nominally.
Count Lamsdorff's friends, however,
treat these reports as inventions OF his
Ill wishers. Nevertheless, the return to,
st. Petersburg of M. Bezobrazoff, who,
was secretary of the far eastern COM
mission before the war, simultaneously
with Aiexieff,s ratnrn NAV he fnanehti
with great significance and may fore
shadow the complete return to imperial
favor of the influences in control before
the war. AS a matter Of fact, however,
those usually best informed admit that
they are at sea as to what is actually
impending, in the absence of real
authoritative information much of his
is probably irresponsible gossip.
As for the post of commander in chief
of the M~anchurian ARMIES, General Ku-
'ropatkin's friends seem more encour-
aged by the outlook. The Novoe Vrem-
va, the Sviet and the Viedomosti, and
other papers, are conducting a regular
and outspoken campaign In his favor
on the general ground that he a ac-
Quilted himself splendidly with the
forces at his command and therefore
deserves we'll of the emperor and oun-
try and that his suppression would
break the confidence of the army and.
be a virtual rebuke, If not disgrace.
These arguments, it is known, have
been placed before his majesty, and
those who pretend to know say the en-
peror was impressed.

SIOUX FALLS WINS.
Judge Garland Denies Injunction il
Waterworks Suit.

Sioux Falls. S. D., Oct. THE city
has won a pronounced victory in the
latest phase OF the legal battle be-
tween the private water company and
the city of Sioux Falls, with the com
pletion and operation of a municipal
system of waterworks as the bone Of
contention. The latest suit was in
stituted by the Municipal & Corpora
ton Securities company against the
city OF Sioux Falls and Joe Kirby. a
local attorney, and was designed to
further hamper the city in it's efforts
TO complete and operate a municipal
system of waterworks. The complain
ant asked that an injunction be issued
against he city, the suit being of such
a nature that IL the injunction had
been granted the city would have been
tied up completely. The complainant
holds waterworks bonds of the city
to the amount of $4,000. Judge Garland
OF the federal court, denied the in
junction, one Of the grounds of this ac-
ton being that all the bondholders, or
at least a majority of them, were not
parties TO the suit.

SQUADRON ESCAPES.
Report That Ships May Have Left
Harbor Is Credited.

st, Petersburg, Oct. g.-While the ad-
miralty claims 10 ave nc knowledge
of the departure OF the Port Arthur
squadron, it is fnferrable from the way
in which they report that an event had
transpired has been received that defin-
tie confirmation would not create sur
prise. The Associated Press is in
formed that no orders have been sent
to Admiral Weirin to break through
the blockade. but 1t is tacitly admitted
that the admiral has discretionary
powers TO leave Port Arthur If condi-
tons be propitious. In naval circles ii
Is pointed out that Wednesday morning
the conditions might have been favor
able for a sortie. Heavy storms ragged
Tuesday, and doubtless compelled the
blockading vessels, and particularly the
torpedo boats, to seek shelter, thus
leaving the way clear for a dash to

heard at Chefoo may only AVE been
directed at blockade

st. Petersburg, Oct. S.-The war
commission sat until an unusually late
hour tonight, but adjourned without
issuing additional news from the front.
Expert opinion is divided as to
whether a serious engagement is likely
to occur at Mukden, but the dispatch
from that city reporting an unusual
activity there gives rise to much spec
ulation. 1t is impossible to say wheth-
er this condition presages h evacua-
ton OF Mukden, but In any case II is
evident that something of unusual n
terest is pending.
Some are bold enough to take 1T that
General Kuropatkin is preparing to
assume the offensive, but in view of
the fact that most reliable advices
credit him with only about six divi-
sions at Mukden, it is thought more
likely that the commotion a to do
with one or the other of the japanese
thanking columns. which the Russian
commander may have been preparing
to check.

THREE ARE KILLED.
six Others Were Injured in a Fearfui
Automobile Accident in
New York.

Nav York. oct. S.-Whfle speeding
along i'm the Bronx an automobile con-
tanning nino persons went over an em-
at One Hundred and Sixty
first street and Jerome avenue, ana one
man and a oma were Killed. Inc
machine fell onto the New YORK Cen
trail railroad tracks and the wreckage
was struck by a southbound tram.
In the automobile when the accident
occurred were five women and four
men. The automobile was in charge
of Albert Moves.
AT Jerome avenue and One Hundred
and Sixty-hrst street the roadway is
between twenty and thirty feet above
the railroad tracks When the big ma
chine plunged downward il struck near
the ~southbound track and the nine per-
sons and the automobile We're caught
by an incoming train known as the
Croton local.
Beside the man and PIMA killed,
all the others in the automobile were
injured. They were taken to Fordham
hospital, where 1t was reported ar 1880
o'clock this morning that at least one
of those hurt was in a serious condi-
ton.
Among the injured are:
Emma Perez, New York.
Jeanette Davis, address not known.
Moses Spies, New York.
Charles Doran, New York.
The name Of the woman who was
killed could o be learned.
When the Croton train reached the
Grand Cenral station Engineer Living
ston was placed under arrest. One pas
senger on the train said the train was
running at the rate of about thirty
five miles an hour when 1t struck the
machine. The automobile which was
wrecked va a heavy touring car, and
it is said was running down Jerome
avenue at a rapid rate. Jerome avenue
ends abruptly at One Hundred and
Sixty-first street. There is a high
fence at this point to prevent vehicles
from dropping off mt the track.
Where Jerome avenue ends the road
way takes a sharp turn, n the auto
mobile did not slacken up for the curve
and struck the fence with a terrific
crash.
Engineer Livingston put on brakes
as soon as possible, but not before the
wreckage of the car had been carried
some distance.
The body of Albert Noyes, chauffeur
of the wrecked automobile, was found
underneath the pilot of the engine hor-
ribly mangled.
At 3 o'clock this morning one of the
injured women who was identified at
the Fordham hospital as Anna Smith,
II years old, died.
This made a total of three dead, one
of whom, a woman, was still unidenti-
fed.
Wreckage of the machine was found
scattered along the railroad track for
a distance of two blocks. The car had
been reduced literally to bits. 1t is
said to have been running at least
twenty-five miles an hour when the ac-
cident occurred.

ST. Petersburg, Oct. MILITARY crit
les at ST. Petersburg share in the gem

the situation at the front if Oyama.
makes his anticipated advance. They
seem to agree that q strong screening
movement is in progress near Lao
Yang, that probably a feint viii be
made from the west. that the tactics
of the Japanese at Lao Yang will be
repeated, and that Kuroki will try a
wide thanking movement from the east.
Some critics point out that conditions
at Port Arthur may force q change of
tOyama's plan Of campaign. The con-
tinued failure of the attacks on the
fortress, and the enormous losses sus-
tanned by the ~besiegers, they think,
may compel Oyama to dispatch some.
veteran troops from the Manchurian
army TO Nodzu's support. as h rein
forcements arriving at Port Arthur are
mostly reserve men.
Unstinted praise is bestowed on Cen.
eral Stoessel for the heroic defense
made by the garrison, which naturally
Is increasing the hope that the fortress
may hold out. In the meantime Kuro-
patkin is receiving achievements,
especially artillery. Nevertheless all
the experts express great doubts
whether Kuropatkin contemplates more.
than a passive resistance at Mukden,
where, they say, the Typographical con-
ditions are unfavorable for a defense.
The general conclusion is that the
Japanese will show their hands in a.
very short time. Evidence is
lating that Japanese officers are at the
head of bands of Chinese bandits OPP
Grating on Kuropatkin's right flank,
and the continued agitation of the Chi
nese. spread by the anti-foreign pro-
~paganda, is increasing the feeling of
anxiety. These factors will soon have,
to be seriously reckoned with by Rus

Heavy Suit in Equity.

Sioux Falls, s. D., Oct: 7.-E. M. livery,
a pioneer abstracter OF this city, has been
made the defendant In d $4,000 damage
suit which has been Instituted In the state
circuit cort in this city. The suit is based
on unusual grounds and the outcome will
be watched with interest throughout the
state, especially by those engaged in the
abstract, business. Some time & Mr..
Avery furnished an abstract for a tract
OF land situated lin this county, and then
the property OF g. H. Eighmcy, president
OF the First National bank or Dubuque,
Ia, and the damage suit is the o~utgrowth.
Mr.. Avery furnished the abstract when
the Dubuque mar sold the land. The
abstTacter discovered that there was q
second mortgage and q number or judg-
monts against the tract. but assuming
that q previous mortgage foreclosure had
rendered them void. did not enter them
upon the abstract. The parties who now
own the land and who Instituted the dam
age suit against Mr.. Avery aIlege that
the mortgage and judgments are Of full
force and d lien against the land. They
seek to recover the amount OF the judg-
ments. together with interest, alleging
that they were compelled, In order TO per-
judgments. IT rs understood the defense
Of Mr.. Avery VIII be based on tho aiIega-
tion that the title TO the Land WAS rendered
defective trough the negligence OF the
attorneys for the Dubuque man, and IL
he IS liable at all II will only be for tho
