FIGHTS HARD TO BREAK PRISON
LUcHENI, UP FOR LIFE IN
SWITZERLAND'S BASTlLE is
A PRISON DEMON, BY CRAFT
HE GETS OUT OF HIS SELL
AND WHEN CAUGHT PUTS
UP A TERRIBLE BATTLE.

Special Correspondence of The
Press.
GENEVA, Nov. 1.-Lucheni, the
anarchist who assasSinated the
Empress Elizabeth, of Austria,
seven years ago, has made a des-
to escape from the Eveche prison,
Geneva, known as the Swiss bas-
tile, where he is undergoing i'm
prisonment for life.
Since his conviction Lucheni has
always been more or less unman-
agable, sullen and brutal. He has
fairly well lighted and decent cell
and has even been offered a COM
panion in the shape of a fellow
convict, but when the governor of
the prison made the suggestion,
Lucheni broke the silence which
he had kept for months and with
the most filthy oaths swore he
would kill anyone they brought
into his cell. He has been given
the easy work Of making felt slip
pers and cardboard boxes and at
times works steadily at his task,
but at other times he tears the
materials given him into fragments
and challenges his guards to
starve him to death.
After recent spell like this the
governor of the prison, Capt. Alex
andre Perrin, came to try to rea-
son with the mad criminal.
No sooner had he set foot inside
the cell than Lucheni, with the
fury of tiger, sprang at his throat
and ignoring the blows of the
warders. chung for some minutes

MUNICIPAL Art
IN THIS CITY

Municipal Improvement of the
city of Spokane was the subject
talked over by the trustees of the
chamber Of commerce yesterday
and several of the members have
taken up the fight in earnest, be-
lieving that to beautify the city
means more to Spokane than any
thing else which can be done. A. l..
White Is the chief exponent of mu-
nicipal art. He said: "The first
impression a person got Of a place
was usually the best one, and no
better way could be found to boost
Spokane" Seed vacant lots, plant
trees, do away with obnoxious bill
boards, are some Of the ideas ad-
vanced.

BAsTILE WHERE LUCHENI is CONFINED.

with unusual quietness. For sew
eral days he had been languid and
apparently ailing and his warders
felt sure that the man was really
weak and ill. The result was that
the usual discipline was relaxed
and on Oct. 8 a warder known as
Big Jean looked into Lucheni's cell
and saw as he thought, Lucheni
lying unconscious on the floor. He
entered the cell and suddenly a
moose of fine cord was slipped
over his neck and drawn tightly
into the flesh, while with iron fing-
ers Lucheni forcd a gag of felt into
his mouth.
When the man fell unconscious
to the ground, Lucheni took his
keys and coolly walked out of his
cell and along a corridor until a
large massive door barred his way.
This he unlocked and found his
way unchallenged to the inner
court yard Of the prison. Here,
while he was attempting to find
the key to open the main entrance
he was noticed and passing ward
er grappled with him.

in weight and strength since his
imprisonment. fought like a per.

In Massachusetts, there is a very
odd political situation. The cam
paign is really between the two
candidates for lieutenant governor.
This grows out of the fact that it
has become hard and fast custom
in Massachusetts for the lieutenant
governor to succeed the governor.

Virginia is interesting only in that
it is the first waged since the ne

when the campaign is freed from
the race issue.
The municipal campaign in New

its protest against political boss
ism and graft. The independent
run being made by States Attor-
ney Jerome, who defies both poll
teal rings, will, if it succeeds, set
a pace in other cities.
Aside from Jerome's race, the
most significant thing in the New

strength of the municipal owner.

coming apparent that Hearst is a

While it was taken for an assured

George B. Mcclellan would be re-

shaken somewhat by the evident
strength of the radical forces which
find a rallying center in William R.

ON NEGRO FRANCHISE, MU-
NicIPAL OWNERSHIP AND
A UNIQUE SITUATION.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Nov. l.
Never in the history of politics
were there so many unusual situa-
lions as are presented In the half
dozen state campaigns now in prog
reSs.
Anti-graft, anti-machine and anti
crime are the dominant notes in
many states. In none of them do
the terms republican or demo
crat" carry any particular weight.
Efforts to lug in national issues
have proved ludicrous.
The campaign in Pennsylvania is
a veritable thriller" Beginning
with the revolt of the Philadelphia
citizens against the effort of the
gang to saddle dollar gas on them
for so years to come, the feeling
has been getting hotter and hotter
against the corrupt practices of the
republican ring, until now the state
is in the midst of a political revo-
luton which will result in the cleo
ton of an independent or citizens
ticket in Philadelphia. and may
even elect democratic-prohibi-
tionis candidate for state treasurer.
The latter possibility is brought
about by the failure of the Enter
prise National bank of Allegheny,
following the suicide of It's cashier,
and disclosing the fact that state
funds to the amount of over a mil
lion dollars was loaned by the bank
to politicians.
