TRIED TO ESCAPE
Prisoner Accused of Burglary Tells Po-
lice He Was Joking.

Adrian Hyler, awaiting trial on a
charge of burglary, made two attempts
yesterday to escape from the central
police station, where he was detained.
Early in the morning he removed all
the plumbing in his cell, hoping to be
able to escape thru the hole in the back
where the pipes enter. He found, how
ever, that the hole was entirely too
small, SO, setting the fixtures back in
place, he waited for another oppor-
tunity.
This came when the prisoners filed
past the captain s door on their way to
court. Hyler, spying the open door,
darted thru it toward the open corridor.
He had taken but few steps, however,
claire.
at was only a joke to test your
nerve,' explained Hyler. The pris-
oner is now confined in the county Jail.

The Greet company's Coming.

On Thursday and Friday evenings Of
this week Minneapolis will be visited by
Ben Greet and his English players, who
will enact the most perfect of shak-
spere's pastorals, "As You Like II" and
midsummer Nights Dream on the
campus Of the state university, amid
surroundings attuned to the scenes Of the
play.
The quality of the company is already
favorably known here by it's splendid per-
formances last April at the Auditorium.
The company is entirely English and each
member has been trained for years in
Shaksperean roles, and it is admitted
in England that Mr.. Greet stands alone
as a teacher of the Interpretation of
Shakspere. 1t is said that any member
of his company can play any part in any
play in the repertory, so thoroughly
versed are they.
Mr. Greet and his company have given
over two thousand open lair plays, not
ably for nineteen consecutive years at
oxford and at Cambridge record
which speaks highly for the artistic

William as a Buffer.

The relations between Germany and
France have not been more critical or
delicate for many years than they have
been during the past week. In order
to understand the situation, it is nee
essary to go back to the Morocco diff
Guilty and take account of the action of
France and England in seeking to APP
propriate to themselves commercial and
political advantages on the African
coast without consulting any other
European power. ...~ss
In making new distribution among
themselves Of advantages and "rights -
in Morocco, France and Great Britain
failed to even formally notify Germany
of the existence Of this agreement,
which is regarded by Germany as
serious violation of diplomatic courte-
sy, to say the least. 1t appeared to
Germany as an attempt to ignore her
and to place her in an isolated position.
Coming in connection with the Anglo
French understanding, or alliance, 1T
was quite natural that the German war
lord should resent the effort to make
it appear as if the consent or opinion
of Germany were a matter of no con-
Germ in the settlement Of European at
fairs. It was this which led Emperor
William to take the stand he has re-
Gently taken with regard to Morocco,
| reaching almost the point Of direct
| challenge of French policies and a men
ace Of war.
France, or at least French diplomacy,
has unquestionably sought to isolate
Germany, and this seemed the more
easy when Frances ally, Russia, was
supposed to be strong and serviceable
in impressing Germany with whole
| some respect for the Franco Russian al
lance. Now that Russia has been hui
inflated by the Jap, her internal condl-
ton became one Of riot and disorder,
her government unable to give any at
tention to affairs in western Europe
and France is deprived of Russian sup
port, Germany has promptly manifested
her resentment of Frances offensive at
titude in the Moroccan matter.
The change in the French ministry
has afforded an opportunity for change
in French policy and modification OF
her attitude toward Germany, but the
dispatches today indicate that Germany
is still determined to insist upon recog
milton in O. European conference called
to dispose of the Moroccan question
Speculation as to what Germany might
be able to do in resisting both France
and Great Britain, the one on land ano
the other at sea, is met by the prompt
demand on the part of Germany that
the Moroccan question shall go to g
conference and that Frances demand
that the program Of the conference shall
be outlined beforehand shall not be re
garded. The German emperor woulC
undoubtedly be successful in a grea1

The Increase of Murder,

, The world has advanced over a long
course since the public execution of
criminals was a spectacle for men, wo-
}men and children. Today we hide our
executions in the dead watches Of the
might, prescribe by law who shall be
there and limit as far as possible what
the public journals shall say of them.
Even with these mysteries thrown
Iabout them, executions are revolving to
the sensibilities of the community. We
do not even want to hear about what
many are bound to stigmatize as "ju-
dicial murder.'
Particularly is the community at
large stirred when it hears that wo-
Eman is to be hanged. The country is
uneasy over the proposed judicial kill
ing Of Mrs. Rogers, the Vermont muir
deress. There is no pretense that she
is not a cold-blooded slayer, but never
stheless the public maintains it's sensi-
tive opposition to the killing of
ia woman, and the governor Of
sthe state, in spite Of his avowed de-
termination to let the law take it's
scourse, has three times reprieved her
sat the foot of the gallows. Many peo-
Eple are of the opinion that Governo.
BELL will finally rid himself Of the prob
lem by committing her sentence to
life Imprisonment. The governor will
sthus acknowledge that the sentiment
against hanging woman, who under
HAe law richly deserves it's extreme
severity, is too much for him.
This is one side Of the picture. But
on the other is the array Of figures
:. advanced by Secretary Taft in his az.
gument against the extension Of the
Jury system to the Philippines. Mr.
Taft shows that since 1885 there have
been in the United States l31 ,951 muir.
ders and homicides and 1926 execu
tions. In 1885 the number Of murders
was 1908. In 1904 it had risen to S,4S2
Meanwhile, the number of executions
for murder had remained about station
ary-1O8 in 1885 and 116 in 1904.
From these facts Mr.. Taft argued
that murder and all felonies are on the
increase, and will continue to increase
until the criminal laws are enforced
with more uniformity and severity thar
they are now.
MT. Taft evidently believes that the
Jury system has something to do will
.the lax enforcement Of criminal laws
and he does not approve of trying it OF
the Philippines, even tho it has PROVED
satisfactory with us. These difficultie
of getting proper jurymen, hard enough
in America, would be doubled OF trebles
in the Philippines.
The opponent Of corporal punishment
has something to explain in these fig

near Green Bay, was an intimate

The elder D'Arminville came to

struck by the resemblance between

Williams He gave ready credence to
the story of the lost Dauphin, who
claimed to have been abducted il early
childhood and subjected to brutal deg
radiation, a condition from which the
new world partly restored him.
When. D'Arminville left La Bay,

NAMES ITS MEN
TO TALK UNION
NORWEGIAN SYNOD RECEIVES
THE HAUGE SYMBOLS NOTE.
Course at Luther College May Be
Lengthened Year, and Salaries of
Professors Observation-Disclosures Ap-
peals from Decision of President of
the Iowa District.

The communication from the Hauge
synod relative to proposed union Of
the several Lutheran church bodies was
well received by the Norwegian synod,
the session yesterday afternoon decid-
ing to treat with the Hauge synod
thru a committee consisting Of Profess
sor DR.. Stub, Professor O. E. Brandt,
Professor A: Mickelsen,- Rev. H. Hal
vorsen and Rev. O. P. Vangsnes. This
is regarded as very strong committee,
the members being theological leaders
in the synod.
Much Of the session was spent in
hearing reports from the committees
on finance and on the several educa-
tional institutions of the synod. The
hrst named committee reported in ia
vor of making the treasurer the fnan-
clal agent Of the synod and requiring
him to devote his whole time to the
duties Of the office. Objection was
made by several ministers, who insist
ed that they could themselves take care
OF the collections in their own churches.
The motion Of the committee was de-
feated, but after some further explain
atlOns the vote was reconsidered and
the matter referred back to the com
mittee.
A resolution regarded as especially
important is that frightening the course
OF study at Luther college by adding
one year to the preparatory course. A
motion was also agreed to provide
for more adequate salaries for Luther
| college professors. Furthermore, steps
were taken looking to the raising of
funds for new building for the val
liable college library and museum.
Former Pastors Appeal.
One matter outside Of the routine
was an appeal to the synod taken by a
! former pastor, S. Swenson, against a de-
clsion by President Torgerson Of the
Iowa district. Mr.. Swenson claims that
great injustice was done him by his
church at the instigation of the presi.
dent, and he wants the alleged wrong
rlghted by the general synod.
The meeting approved plan to make
the Sunday association among the stu
dents of Luther college the nucleus OF
a general organization of Young peo
Pies societies turnout the synod. -
In the evening four candidates in the
ology were ordained for the ministry
| The services were held in Our Savior's
| church and conducted by Rev. A. K

The Tontine Policy Illustrated.

A contributor to an eastern publica-
tion in discussing deferred dividends
in life insurance makes use Of this
striking illustrations:
"Mr. A. goes into a hat store to
purchase hat. He selects silk hat
costing 81 and hands out a $40 note,
waiting for his SO change. The sales
man does not offer to bring the change
and the customer reminds him that he
is waiting for it. The salesman ex-
plains that it is the custom of the
house to retain the change from all
customers until they have dealt with
them twenty years; that during that
period many will drop out from various
causes and the change, which will nat
urally grow to great dimensions in
twenty years, will then be divided
among the persistent customers and
that it will be big thing.'
Of course Mr.. A. declines to buy his
hats in that way and probably there
after shuns that store, but he will buy
life insurance just that way.
The illustration is not quite fair, in
asmuch as the policyholder, like the buy
er of hats, does not expect to do bust
ness with the same firm regularly. In
buying a tontine policy he bets that he
will live out the tontine period and
draw down not only his own accumula-
tions but those of some other policy
holder who was unable to hold on.
A good deal has been written about
the immortality Of going into scheme,
part, at least, Of whose success is prod
icated upon someone's else failure
but this is not so foreign to the gen
eral course of business as to deserve es.
pecial structure. Thus far the tontine
policy has had the most marked and
facilitating effect upon the companies
