Traced to WatertoWn Juno
ton, Wis, Where He Was
Arrested by Grady.
HIS WIFE WAS WITH HIM
BIG FOUR DETECTIVE WILL LIKE
IY TAKE HIS "CATCH" TO MAT
TOON ILLINOIS WHERE HE
WILL BE TRIED.

John Locke, the smooth young man
who has built up quite record as an
adept in separating himself from pri-
son cells, and whose sensational get
away from the Wayne county Jail,
which was accomplished by climbing
through a chimney, is still fresh in
the nfnss 5f the people 81 K1cffnond5df,'
now ianguishes behind the bars of the
bastile at Watertown Junction, Wis.
The credit for the apprehension of
Locke is said to belong to L. p Grady
one of the members of the detective
department of the Big Four railroad
company, who has yearned to lay his
hands on this we'll known crook for
some time. According to the story
which comes to this city somebody
'officed' to Grady the fact that Locke
was working as a brakeman on the
G. NJ. & st. P. road, under the name
of Harry Lake. Grady investigated
and Locke's arrest was the result
While in jail here the man was under
Indictment for the wholesale theft of
hogs from resident of Hagerstown,
but at the same time he was badly
wanted at Mattoon, Ills, for breaking
into Big Four box cars. There are
seventeen indictments against him at
the Illinois town, and it is not inn
probable, that the railroad company
will endeavor to have him tried there.
Locke's first successful jail deliv-
cry here was about three years ago
when he made his lucky" escape
from the city prison. On that occas-
ion while the janitor of the building,
Henry Fee, was in his cell he dashed
out, slamming the door on Fee and
made his escape. Last spring Supt
OF Police Bailey learned that
Locke, and his cousin, Harry Harris,
who was also wanted were in San
Francisco. The superintendent. and
Grady went there and arrested the
pair, and while the railroad detective
took charge of Harris, Locke was
brought back here, only to make his
escape later. as heretofore stated.
Eocke's wife was living with him at
Watertown when he was arrested.
Supt. Bailey said last night that it
was not likely that Locke would be
returned here, as the Big Four people
had asked the right to take a
'whack' at the notorious one.

SALARY INCREASE

ed in the House.
LITTLE HOPE OF SUCCESS
WATSON SAYS THE MEASURE
WOULD HAVE PASSED THE
HOUSE BUT THAT THE DEMO-
Gratis BROKE FAITH.

Washington, Jan. 12.-No little
amusement was created in the SEN
ate last evening by the appearance
of Representative Watson, of Indiana,
who came to ask Senators to pull the
House chestnuts from the fire by re-
storing to the legislative appropria-
tion bill the provision increasing the
salaries of members of Congress from
$4,000 to $500 a year, which was
stricken out in the House Mr.. Wat
son explained that when the House
struck from the bill the provision in
creasing the salaries of members of
Congress it fully expected that the
Senate would restore it and that the
members of the lower chamber were
greatly disappointed at the action OF
the Senate committee
Some Senators informed Mr. Wat
son that they were fully aware of the
expectation of the House in this re-
spect, but that they regarded the
course of the lower chamber as in the
nature of an imposition. Mr. Wat
son went on to explain that the House
leaders had an agreement with the
Democrats to permit the provision to
pass without division, but that later
the minority members broke faith
and demanded roll call He said,
however, that leaders had patched up
a new agreement with the minority
to the effect that no division would
hn
which provided for the increase. and
they sincerely hoped the Senate
would come to their rescue Mr..
Watson was asked TO undertake the
mission by the speaker.

Representative citizens, officers
