CONVICIS VANISH
FROM EASTON JAIL

EASTON. Nd. Aug. 22.-Three negro
prisoners have vanished from Easton
Jail as though by magic. Every win
dow has been found secure and the
doors all locked.
The discovery that the prisoners had
escaped was made last night, but was
kept secret until today. The three men
had been left locked in the corridor at
supper-time. When Deputy Sheriff
Cannon went to lock them in their cells
at 9 o'clock they were gone.
The only explanation apparently Is
that the men had been supplied with a
duplicate to one of the Jail door keys,
and quietly slipped away, locking the
door behind them, while Sheriff Caulk
and his family were eating supper.
The escaped men were Edward l..
Wilson, Moses Thomas and Albert VIII
liams. The first two were awaiting trial
for stealing a bicycle. while the third
was held pending removal to a cor
rectional institution in Baltimore.

In Germany. the leading protec-
Zionist country Of Europe, and one
which has recently increased the
duties on its imports, there is in
creasing distress arising from low
wages and high prices for the neces-
saries OF life. Consul Hannah of
Magdeburg reports an enormous in
crease in the cost Of living for 1906
over 1893. He also reports that in
certain industries the highest pos
sible earnings Of laborers is 8 cents
an hour and theaverage only 4 cents,
American money. The Consul at
Zittau tells similar story. These
reports show that tariff taxes do not
improve the condition of working
men. The high wages paid in this
country in the building. and rail-
road, and mining industries, which
are not protected, prove that it is
not q protective tariff, but the organ
izatiOns OF laboring men. that make
wages high in spite OF enormous i'm
migration and difficulty in procuring
certain raw materials, owing to
prOhibitive duties.

Adisratch from Washington dated
June 14th says: The weather man
OF 1857 appears to have known more
about the summer of 1907 than the
weather man OF 1907 knew a month
ago. According to an old almanac
unearthed in the archives of the
Treasury Department today, the
predictions for this summer turned
out TO be just what is being expert
enced. In the weather forecasts the
words no summer appear opposite
thu date 1907. Gen. John NJ. Wilson
said today that this was not the first
summer he had known snow In June,
for he had kept q weather calender
for sixty years. and Ia looking back
over the June weather during these
years he found that he had recorded
snow on June 10th. 1881. - Union.
