years ago and succeeded beautifully.
The man who escaped had been bar
Der before he entered the army, and his
job In Castle William was to shave and
cut the hair OF the other prisoners. He
managed to save enough of the clip
pings to make false mustache. Then
In some way--it's hard to tell how
those things are contrived-he had n
suit Of plain clothes smuggled In to
him. Still he wasn't in any rash hurry
to get away, but waited till really
good opportunity occurred. This came
to him when gang Of plumbers were
I'm the old fort making repairs. One
evening he rugged himself up In his
clothes and mustache, and picking up a
couple Of pieces of lead pipe and for
gotten solder pipe he walked leisurely
out with the plumbers when they quit
work. Right past the guard he went
without being recognized, and. 10 far

Joy a smoke, when he noticed In front

out and spoke to the boy.
"Well. my boy, see you have had

The above Is embodied in the report
of a committee of the New Era

tigating social conditions in this city.
The club women find that women

RESPONSIBILITY FOR
EMPLOYEES NEGLIGENCE.
Judge Adams, of Federal Court, Holds
That Employers Liability Act
Is Constitutional.

NEW YORK. July 19.-The first decision
in the Federal courts of this district on
the eonstitutionality of the Employers
Liability act passed by Congress on June
IL. 1906. was rendered yesterday by Judge
Adams in the United States District Court.
Judge Adams holds that the law is con-
stitutional, following a decision rendered
last March by Judge Trieber in Illinois.
Other Federal judges, In Georgia and Ken
lucky, nave held the law to be invalid,
and its constltutionality will probably
come up for determination before the
United States Supreme Court in the fan.
The action in which Judge Adams's de-
cision is rendered was brought by Patrick
Lancer against the Anchor Line to recover
damages for injuries due to the loosening
of a skid while Lancer was working as a
l~ongshoreman on one of the company's
piers. The loosening of the skid was due
to the negligence of other employees Of
the steamship company, and under the La
bility act, the employer is liable for dam
ages under such circumstances.

WANT TRUST BUSTING
MEASURE MODIFIED.
Texas Merchants Appeal for Legislative
Action on Law Which They Say
Throttles Trade.

GALVESTON, Tex. July 19.-Meetines
were held all over the State yesterday by
commercial and business interests to memo
rialize the Governor to call a special SEES
sion of the Legislature TO repeal or modiiy
a new law directed at the trusts, but which
throttles trade. The new law provides
that any person who deals in or sells or
handles any goods manufactured or con-
trolled by a trust, or acts as agent for any
trust-made goods, shall be guilty of felony
and punished by a term in the penitentlary
of from two to ten years.
AS a majority Of the commodities OF
everyday use are known to be made or
controlled by trusts, the law, IL enforced
would restrain the sale of the necessities
of life.
While the trainers of the law intended
it directly to affect the agents and actual
representatives of the trusts, by its terms
II includes every merchant who sells trust
made goods. whether he knows them TO be
such or not. Some merchants have APP
pealed to the Attorney Generals office Tor
a list Of trusts that they may discontinue
handling these goods, as the law becomes
effective today.

RAILROAD LOSES SUIT.
Pennsylvania Must Pay $4,000 fol-
Death of Captain Schofeld.

ERIE, Pa, July ia jury in the
United States Circuit Court yesterday
brought in a verdict of $4,000 against
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company in
the suit brought by Mr.. and Mrs. Levi
T. Scoield, of Cleveland. The plain
tiffs sued the company a year ago for
damages because their son, Captain
Donald Scofeld, was killed in a rail-
road wreck in 1860 while on his way
with his military company to attend
the Inauguration of President McKin-
ley.
In the first trial a verdict was given
for ST., 900, but the railroad company
succeeded in getting a new trial on
technical grounds. Negligence on the
part of the company was the basis Tor
the action. The train Captain Scot1eld
was in stalled near Pittsburg and an
other passenger train crashed into it.
