line of modern prison methods used
by Trelford, according to witnesses.
Brutal i'm Extreme.
The cruelty of superintendent
Trelford and his underlings in the
prison towards the unfortunate Grim
inals at his mercy, is nothing less
than henious. The brutality beggars
description.
1t should also be remembered that
these convicts are absolutely power
less to defend themselves. They have
no recourse and they can not even
speak a protest, without committing
a breach of discipline. Such meth
DDS particularly under a socalled re-
form regime almost surpass belief.
1t is hard to tell which of Trel-
ford's acts towards the convicts as
disclosed by this investigation, was
the worst.
In fits of sudden anger Tralford
apparently lost all control and could
not devise hard enough means for
furnishing convicts for small breaches
of an iron clad discipline. He treat
ed convicts as few men treat their
dogs, according to witnesses. His
only plea was discipline.
Can He Be Punished.
Governor Reynolds has not the
power to properly punish Trelford, II
is said, but he can at least remove
him and place a man possessing some
semblance of humanity, in charge OF
the prison.
Colonel Minus had nothing but hu-
manitarian motives in calling the
case to the attention of the presi-
dent. He feared that Trelford would
be allowed to remain in charge OF
the prison until the arrival of Gov
ernor Curry and he therefore decided
to lay the matter before the Wash
ington authorities at once.

KILLED CUARE IN
ESCAPD FROM PRISON

jefferson City, Mo-, June 27.-Har-
ry Vaughn, Edward Raymond and
George Ryan were hanged in the
county Jail here simultaneously today
for killing prison guard John Clay
during a concerted attempt to escape
from the penitentiary on November
"a, 1905. Guard Il. Allison and
convict named +. Blake were shot
dead at the same time.
The convicts were serving senten-
ces for robbery when the outbreak
was planned.
Their Crime.
The crime for which these three
men were hanged was committed dur
ing one of the most desperate at
tempts to escape from prison ever
known in the United States.
In some manner, revolvers and
quality of dynamite had been snug
gled into the prison to them, and, in
company with the dead convict,
Blake, and several others, who failed
to get outside, they made the attack
on the guards and prison walls, early
one afternoon I'm November, 1905.
After quietly sneaking from the
rooms in which they were at work,
they secured the explosive and weap-
ons from their hiding places, and ran
across the prison yards to the gate,
which they soon demolished with the
dynamite.
Desperate Battle.
Guard Allison ran toward them as
they placed the match to the fuse,
and he was shot down, dying in
stantly. The shooting and explosion
attracted other guards and for few
moments a battle was fought just in
side the walls but the hole torn in
the gate enabled the convicts to make
a rush for liberty.
Blake was shot dead by a guard,
who was himself wounded.
All Captured.
The pursuit continued for some
distance. but the three convicts soon
outran their pursuers. For several
days the search for the men was kept
up until all three were finally recap
tured
They were tried in this city, the
first trial resulting in a hung jury,
but the second convicted them of
murder and they paid the penalty of
their crime today.
An investigation Of the penitentiary
to disclose the manner in which they
smuggled the explosives and weapons
into their cells, resulted In the discov-
cry that they had received aid from
outside, but the officers were never
able to find the guilty parties.

HIGH JUMPS AT VASSAR.
Girl Atelete Makes New Record in
Vaulting and Putting the Shot.

Girl AteIete Makes New Record in
Vaulting and Putting the Shot.
Mildred Villas, '07, of Cleveland, O.,
and Inez Milholland, '09, two Of the
most popular students, established new
athletic records at Vassar Saturday,
says the New York World. Miss Villas
made a fence vault Of feet 10% inch
es. The previous record was feet 10h
inches made by D. E. Merrill, '02, in
1901.
Miss Milholland, a beautiful English
girl, who is taking course at Vassar
in preparation for woman's suffrage
work in England, and who Is regarded
as one of the strongest women ever at
the college, put the eight-pound shot 81
feet 81 inches, breaking the record of
20 feet 111a inches, made by e. H.
White in 1902.
The surprise of the day was the poor
showing of the two present students
who hold championships, Alice H. Bel.
ding, '07, holder of two records, 7 feet
inches in standing broad jump and
| 1876 feet inches in baseball throwing
and Martha Gardner, '07, holder Of
10O-yard hurdle record, 16 1-3 seconds
and running broad jump, IA feet 614
inches. Neither champion was able II
equal her record, while In the hurdl;
race and baseball throwing they were
surpassed by sophomores and fresh
men.
The sophomores won the honors o
the day, exceeding their own best ex
pectations with 43 points. When 1t wa

ton hurricane Is an instance Of this.
That storm was first observed south
east of the island of Porto Rico on
September 1. 1t moved westwardly
with the general drift Of the air, was
DETECTED from its normal course up
the Atlantic coast by bank of cold
air over the eastern States, and on
September 10 was in northern Texas.
1t then recurved toward the northeast,
passed over the great lakes and the st.
Lawrence valley as storm Of marked
intensity and was dissipated some
where off the coast of Canada. A hur-
rlcane Is an intensified cyclone.
"A tornado Is caused by a very un-
stable local condition of the atmos-
phere. The warm, moist air rises and
comes in contact with the descending
cold stream Of air above. Breaking
through this cold stratum, 1t rushes
into the opening, and the heavy, cold
air rushes down to fill the space for
merly occupied by the heated air, pro-
ducing n whlrllng motion similar to
that in a stationary washbowl of
water when the stopper is removed
and the water allowed to run out, only
the air whirls upward to the center at
| the top of the cloud instead of down
ward, as in the case Of the water.
The gyratory motion begins in the up
per strata and gradually descends
forming the funnel-shaped cloud that
we know. The velocity of the air as
it whlrls upward to the center Is from
200 to 300 miles an hour; that Is, we
estimate that 1t Is as great as that by
the effects 1t produces. We know what
effects are produced by wind Of any
measurable velocity, and, using that al
basis, we estimate tornado's veloc
ity by the character of damage result
ing from It,"
