the building of a bridge at Neatsville,
and the making of rock roads through
out the county. A stone crusher is
not needed in our section IS we have
all the gravel necessary for making
good roads, but I favor buying and
using crusher in other parts of the
county where gravel is not so plentiful.
l am willing to pay my part of the tax
for such move and l am also in favor
of building bridge at Neatsville this
year. The only way to dispose OF
these important questions is for the
Fiscal Court to have the bridge built
and do all for the roads within a
reasonable assessment. The longer de-
layed the worse for the county. l fav-
or immediate and effective action on
these propositions.

BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 23.-George
D. Collins, the attorney convicted Of
perjury, was lodged in the state prison
today after making a desperate attempt
to escape from the sheriff on the ferry
boat between this city and San Quen-
tin.
When the prisoners were let out of
the Jail Collins was missed. A hurried
search through the gloomy building on
Broadway disclosed him hiding under a
column.
In the hurry of the transportation
across the bay a number of prisoners
were separated from the sheriff, but
the deputies rounded them up before
landing was made.
When the other shore was reached
Collins was the only one not accounted
for and the boat had to be held in the
slip while hunt was begun.
Thought Collins Had Escaped
Sheriff O'Neil had about made UP his
mind that the prisoner had jumped
overheard when the cry went up and
he was dragged from his hiding place
in a dark closet. AS soon as he was
taken he was ready with an explana-
| tion and made a speech to the other
prisoners, declaring that he would be
| out of prison within twenty-four hours
on habeas corpus.
When he reached the prison no favors
were shown him, for Chief Justice
Beatty has suspended all further stays
Of execution to convicted prisoners.
Collins was dressed in suit of
stripes and his hair was closely
cropped. He has one more fighting
chance for a writ of habeas corpus for
which he applied about two weeks be-
fore the earthquake is still undecided.
Final argument will be heard and
Judge Murasky will decide it when the
superior courts resume business
