CLOVER SEED
ADULTERATION

A Harrisburg special says Informa-
tion was received yesterday that un-
scrupulous dealers in seeds have
launched new plan of defrauding the
American farmer by adulterating
Alsike clover seed with seeds of Euro
pean weeds, which are so similar in
appearance that only a microscopic
and chemical analysis can show the
difference without a termination test.
Alsike clover seed is one of the best
soil renovators at the command of the
farmer. After a corp of Alsike has
been raised the soil is in prime shape
for the commoner red clover, or alfalfa.
Alsike clover is of peculiar pink and
white color. State Economic Zoologist
Surface admitted yesterday that the
adulteration has been discovered ap-
parently on wholesale scale. He said
he had learned of this from the feder-
al department at Washington, but un-
derstood that official announcement
had not yet been made

Probably one of the most sensational
escapes ever made by patient at the
hospital for the insane at this place
occurred on Tuesday night. A bad
patient in an Sth ward centennial"
made his exit through narrow wind
ow near the ceiling, leaving behind a
four foot scantling to suggest that
there had been confederate.
The centennial" is cell-like apart
ment on the first floor designed to
hold patients that are noisy and unru-
ly in the night time. 1t contains but
one window, which is near the cell
ing. The window-less than two feet
in length and only about eight inches
wide-would seem too small to admit
a mans body. Although out of the
patients reach this window is protect
ed with iron bars.
Among the patients at the hospital
is Polander. who belongs to the
troublesome class for which the "cen.
tennial" is designed. This man on
Tuesday night was locked in the "cen-
tennial" as usual. Following custom,
before being locked up, the man was
undressed, his clothes worn during the
day being left on the outside while he
went into the room arrayed only in
his night clothes.
When the attendant unlocked the
door of the centennial yesterday
morning he was amazed to discover
the cell empty. In lieu of the patient
he found an eight.foot scantling lying
gu the floor.
There was no doubt as to the patti
ents' manner of egress. The iron bars
at the narrow window near the cell
ing were broken or bent, and the
scantling in the cell explained not
only how the window had been brok-
ell open but also how the patient had
managed to climb up to it for the pur-
pose of crawling through.
The real problem to solve is how the
scantling got into the cell. The auth
critics declare that it is preposterous

PATIENT makes SENSATIONAL
ESCAPE At HOSPITAL FOR insane

to assume that it was brought in
through the corridor. This leaves but
one theory in the least tensble and
that is that a confederate figured in
the escape. The scantling must have
reached the inside of the cell through
the window. Before thrusting it in
the person on the outside was obliged
to break or bend the iron guards over
the window, which, even with the
scantling, was no easy task owing to
the height of the window, which is
some twelve feet above the ground.
AT all events the patient escaped and
there is no other solution of the mys-
terry. How the man managed to squeeze
his body through the narrow window
after climbing to the ceiling is anoth-
er point that would battle anyone.
The attendants started out early yes
terday morning, securing all the neigh
borhood, but without finding the es-
capped patient. About noon report
came from Ringtown that the man
was apprehended there. On the
o'clock P. & r. train he was brought
to Danville, where he was met by a
couple of attendants and Chief of Pol
ice Mincemoyer. The man in custody
was identified as the escaped patient
and was taken to the hospital.
The patient intimated that he had
assistance, although no definite infor
nation could be obtained as to the
identity of his accomplioe. In his I'M
derclothes he walked to Catawissa,
where he jumped freight train. His
unconventional attire, along with his
excentric conduct, was sufficient to
suggest that he was an escaped patti
ent and it was not long until he was
apprehended Some clothing was OBJ
tained for the man at the hotel at
Ringtown and he was respectfully
dressed when brought to Danville.
The patient, whose name could not
be learned, hails.from somewhere in
the vicinity of Shamokin, and it is sup
posed that he was making his way to-
ward home when captured.
