Sensational Jail Delivery in Gin
cinnaH During Hour for
Religious Service.

CINCINNATI. Dec. 2S.-Nine prisoners
escaped from the Hamilton county jail here
this morning. Among those who escaped
were some desperate criminals, including
Clarendon Henri (arrested in New York
recently, who stole the famous picture.
Girl Knitting" from the Cincinnati mu-
scum.
The prisoners made their escape during
church service hours, at which time more
liberty than usual is permitted. Their es-
cape was effected by unlocking a door
which leads to a narrow passage leading to
the areaway between the outer wall and
the cell block. Here two ladders were
found and spliced together by bed clothing.
one OF the bars to the outer window was
sawed and showed aside and the spIiced
ladder was placed from the window ledge
TO the top Of a One-story structure in the
jail yard, from the roof Of which the
prisoners dropped twenty feet to the
ground A small boy saw the men as they
ran down the street and Immediately noti-
ned those in the Office OF the jaiIor.
This afternoon two Of the prisoners were
captured. The others are stiu at large.

Booth, who has been here for the purpose

United States and Canada.
The object Of his visit is to examine on
the spot the work of the Salvation Army

as highly satisfied with the reports of the
work Of the Salvatlonists I'm Japan, and
said that these reports showed that they
had met with every courtesy from the
authorities. The Salvauonists, according
to all accounts, had been Instrumental in
rescuing $1,000 geisha girls from the state
of bondage in which they had been held.
The army, General Booth concluded, was
also doing a good work in Corea, where

CAPTAIN MACKLIN IMPROVING
No Clue to Identity or Whereabouts
OF Man Who Attempted 20 kin
Army officer.

Ell RENO, Okl, Dec. 23.-The condition
of Captain Edgar A. Macklin, who was shot
by a robber at his residence at Fort Reno
last Friday night, was improved today, and
recovery is assured, attendants say The
robber has not yet been arrested nor do
the detectives in the case seem to have
any positive knowledge of the mans iden-
tty or his whereabouts. 1t is believed
he caught a train at Darlington station,
four miles distant and to which point his
trail was followed by bloodhounds.
The hat found at the rear of Captain
Macklin's porch undoubtedly was dropped
by the robber, as from this hat was taken
the scent that enabled the bloodhounds
yesterday morning to follow the trail to
the water tank at Darlington station Ex-
animation of the hat discloses the figures
'25, indicating that the hat once belonged
to some man in the Twenty-hfth infantry
There is no letter, however, designating the
company, the letter having faded from the
cloth. This is by no means conclusive that
the man who shot Macklin was a soldier
These hats can be found in the ash heaps
OF the garrison and in the secondhand
stores at FL Reno. Many men find a GER
tain pleasure in wearing discarded army
paraphetnalia, which is usually Of good
quality and durable.
There is still difference OF opinion as to
the clothing worn by the negro. Captain
Macklin is unable to tell what the man
wore. The negro woman servant has an
idea that his garments were the color of
the army fatigue uniform, but it is not
believed that the servant has a clear re-
membrance of anything except the sound
Of the shooting. Mrs. Macklin did not get
a clear view Of the man.

to Red Cross Fund.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 23-President Roose-
welt today issued a proclamation calling

miles and supporting a population of lb,OOO,-
600. the crops have been destroyed by floods
and millions OF people are on the verge OF
starvation thousands of dwellings have
been destroyed and their inmates are
without homes. An urgent appeal has
been made for the assistance of the United
States.
our people have often, under similar con-
ditiors of distress in other countries, re-
spOnded generously TO such appeals. Amid
our abounding prosperity and in this holi-
day season OF good VIII to man, assuredly
we should do our part to aid the unfor-
tunate and relieve the distressed among
the people of China, to whom we have
been allied for so many years in friendship
and kindness.
1 shall ask congress upon its next day
of session for authority to use our trans
port vessels to carry flour and other food
to the famine-striCken region.
1 recommend that contributions for the
purchase of such food and other appro-
pirate relief be sent to the American Ma
tional Red Cross, which will take care Of
the expenditures.
such contributions may be made either
through the local Red Cross treasurers, or
through the Department of State, or may
be sent directly to Mr. Charles Hallam
Treasury department, Washington. ID. c.

According to the latest gossip Lewis Har-

The comments of the Irish papers Of all

SHAKESPEARE is ATTACKED
German savRnt Says Roger, Earl Of
Rutland was Author
of Plays.

BERLIN, Dec. -(special)-Dr. Karl
Bleibtreu's new book, in which he an
nour ces his discovery that Roger, earl OF
Rutland, was the author Of all the plays
ascribed for over 800 years to Shakespeare
has just been published.
Some Of the points made against Shake
speare are as follows:
We learn one certain fact from the verses
ridtculing the magistrate, viz, that young
Shakespeare was a brainless country bump
kin without a trace of literary talent. II
has not been established at which OF the
cred that the first Shakespearean dramas
We're played by the Pembroke, TO Wnlch
William Shakespeare did not belong, rms,
however would have been impossible az
that time II the comedian Shakespeare had
really been the author Of the verses.
William Shakespeare was wealthy man
in later years. He retired to Strattord as
a successful man and abandoned htera55

that he died from the enects OF pOl-
house revelry and IL Is certainly known
that he kept his regular seat In the Mer-
maid tavern as long as he lived IN LOnuOu'

years before his death? The answer TO 1hls
Is found in the fact that Roger, earl oil
Rutland. died in 1912, shortly after the ap'
pearance OF the last two Shakespearear
dramas.
Herr Bleibtreu offers an explanation why
Roger. earl of Rutland, hid himself behind
the name Of William Shakespeare. He at
tributed Rutland's arrangement fol
anonymity to political reasons. The
Shakespearean dramas were regarded by
contemporaries as political in tendency anc
both Queen Elizabeth and King James
would have visited their wrath on the
author Of such plays as Julius Caesar
and Hamlet II he had been a prominent
nobleman. william Shakespeare was moi
punished, partly because of his persona
inslgnificance and partly because 1t wal
generally known that he was not the rea
writer. Perhaps the most telling point II
favor of this theory is found in the fac
that Herr Bleibtreu shows series o
financial transactions between Roger, ear
Of Rutland, and Francis, earl Of Rutland
the heir Of his childless brother, and from
these transactions the authorship theory i
deduced.

HICKS TAKEN FROM TUNNEL
California Miner Released After
Spending sixteen Days Under
Ground.

BAKERSFIELD. Cal, Dec. 23.-L. B.
Hicks was released at 1l:25 O'Clock last
night The last cut on the second rail-
was made at 11:22 p. m, and no sooner was
the section removed and the way left open
than Hicks began to scrape away the
rocks and dirt and crawl toward the open
ing.
with arms in front Of his head he went
into the miniature tunnel and began to
work his way slowly through to the other
side Of the car. When he had progressed
about half way he stopped, and superin-
tendent Frank Miller who stood at the
tube at the mouth Of the shaft imme-
dately called and asked what was the mat
ter.
"Oh. nothing" Hicks called back I'm
just going to stop. I'm out of wind My
wind is very short, you know"
Then the man OF iron moved a few in
ches further toward freedom and his arms
were seized by Dr. stinchfeld and Miner
Gents. The two. exerting all their strength,
pulled the miner into the main tunnel,
where he was placed in a sitting position.
The blndfold has been removed, as the
tunnel was lighted by candle only, and
the light was dim.
And there, 100 feet from the face of the
mountain and within step where the
miner had lain entombed for nearly six
teen days, there occurred a pathetic scene.
Dr. Stinchheld, with tears in his eyes and
his hands laid affectionately on Hicks
shoulder, said: We'll, how are you, old
boy2"
And there we're tears in the eyes OF Hicks
as well, the only tears that have shown
themselves IN all the days and nights since
he was entombed. as he replied:
Il am feeling fine I can never thank
you, doc. for what you have done"
And then came Superintendent Cone. the
man who has stayed by the work day and
night, directing every interest, personal
and Of his company as wen, to aid in the
rescue Of the miner. He came forward
and took Hicks by both hands and said:
/ Il am glad to see you again. old man"
! Hicks, with voice choked with emotion
attempted to thank him also for his efforts
| in his behalf
The superintendent gazed steadfastly for
a moment and then. unable to speak
further, he turned and walked out of the
! tunnel and up the mountainside.
! To a representative Of the Associated
! Press he said:
"Of course, I am overjoyed that Hicks is
out and am reioiced that he is well and
strong. 1t was long, tedious task and a
severe strain upon all connected with the
work. but 1 would go through It all ovel
again to save that man"
Hicks was not as emaciated as was ex.
pected. He was strong and the stimulant,
that had been prepared for him were moi
needed. His beard was thick and stubby
but not grown out as might have been ex.
pected. His face and hands were dirty
but his clothing was fairly clean and ir
