easy for the fugitive to have boarded one
OF these trains and put many miles between
himself and the prison before the morning
roll call. In the wagon shop the officials
found the convict's drab coat.
Despite the fact that the evidence point
ing to bis fight over the wan was found
early yesterday morning a search was
kept up all day about the prison and the
yard by squads Of men, while the 400 pris-
oneIs we're kept locked up. At intervals
the convicts could be heard cheering and
yelling at their keepers, the sound OF this
being heard block away from the prison.
Warden Frost had the prison bottled Up
all day, not a keeper being allowed outside.
Early In the morning the warden sent word
10 the police that Dasala was missing but
said then that there was still chance that
he might be inside. This chance grew
simmer as the search progressed unsuc-
oessfully and was all gone by night.
keL orters who called at the prison yes
terday were not informed Of now the man
had escaped
4 don't consider that II is a matter that
the public need be interested in, said Mr.
Frost last night.
There are only iorty-four keepers en-
ployed in the daytime now and fourteen
AZ night. IL is said that the keepers lately
shorthanded and that there should be at
least 100 men 10 watch the l, 400 prisoners.
Mr. Frost was appointed warden last
summer. Since then he has suspended
several keepers whom he suspected OF
prohibited articles. including
opium, TO the conHcts. Recently some
OF the keepers have been complaining Of
having to work longer and Of having their
days OF cut down. due TO the lack Of keepers.

TIRE TANGLE AT H4RBIN.
Baron ROsen Calls on Secretary Root To
Urge Change In Consul Fishers Attitude.

Baron ROsen Calls on Secretary Root 10
Urge Change In Consul Fishers Attitude.
WASHINGTON, April 6,-Baron Rosen
the Russian Ambassador to the United
States, called at the State Department
to-day and had a conference with Score
tary Root over the difficulties encountered
in establishing a municipal government
at Harbin in Manchuria, The matter was
brought TO Mr.. Roots attention several
weeks ago by Baron Rosen, The Baron re-
quested an explanation Of the attitude Of
Frederick D. Fisher. the American Consul at
Hardin, who declined TO recognize the au-
thority Of the director of the Chinese East
ern Railroad Company, private Russian
corporation, in promulgating regulations
for the government Of the residents Of
Harbin. Secretary Root is preparing his
reply and it will be communicated to the
Russian Government in few days.
The difficulty hinges upon the construc-
tion OF lease entered into in 1893 between
the Chinese Government and the Russo
Chinese Bank in behalf Of the Chinese Fast
ern Railroad Company by which the rail-
road company received the right TO admins
ter absolutely and exclusively the lands sub
ject TO the lease. In accordance with the
lease the director Of the Russian railroad at
Harbin issued two DEGREES in February last
which caused considerable opposition among
the foreign element Of Harbin. One Of these
DEGREES regulated business In the leased
territory. while the other provided a penalty
for cnticising the management OF the Rail-
road Director
Since the close Of the Russo-Japanese
war the necessity for municipal gov
eminent at harDln has ueen eyiGouv IL the
foreign element, and following the custom
at other treaty ports in China the foreigners
have endeavored to establish a form Of
government Acting under instructions
from the State Department Mr.. Fisher
declined 10 recognize the authority OF the
director OF the Russian railroad.
Although the railroad is a private Rus
sian corporation II is virtually owned
by the Government. Chinese sovereignty
over Manchuria is not questioned by the
Russian Government Both Russia and
the United States acknowledge China's
supreme right over that territory, and both
countries have Consuls at Harbiu who have
received e1equature from the Chinese
Government. The matter is not regarded
as serious and an early settlement OF the
dispute is expected.

BETTER EATING AT COLUMBIA
Is Promised With the Return OF President
Rntler-AdYiaorY Committee Named.

No more uneatable biscuits or lemon
pies for the students Of Columbia, forthwith
the return Of President Nicholas Murray
Butler from Bermuda yesterday a new
c.s Il ,kS eating ta-ili,ies Of the university
Is promised. The head Of the university
has been away for almost a month and not
a word Of the trouble over the conduct Of
the university commons, or the trough
as il 10 commonly known, has reached him.
DR.. Butler took steps at once 10 smooth
over the affair, and now it is practically
assured that there will be a new head Of
the commons or at least a new system
before the beginning OF the fall term in
September In the presidents absence
Dean Goetze has had charge Of the COM
mons investigation, but the dean, who is
likewise consulting engineer OF the uni
versity, turned his report over 10 Or. But
Ter yesterday and the result was the ap-
pointment Of an advisory committee on
the university commons which committee
will have full power 10 inquire into and
investigate the management Of the COM
mons, and in particular 20 make recon-
mendations TO the consulting engineer in
regard 10 the character Of food supplied,
the cooking the service and the prices
charged
Inc iaCutty members OF TINS committee
are Prof II c. Sherman Of the department
Of chemistry, Prof W. ]. Gies Of the de-
partmept Of biological chemistry and
Prof. Helen Kinne Of the department Of
domestic science at Teachers College All
three are known as experts in questions
Of nutrition and dietetics. A majority OF
the students don't know what dietctics is
but they imagine that il must have some
thing to do with eating In addition
two students are TO be appointed by the
board Of student representatives
The report Of the committee OF students
which was sent TO Yale last month 10 in
vestigate the Yale dining facilities and
compare them with those Of Columbia
was made public yesterday. This COM
mittee found that the food served at Colum-
bia was inferior 10 that supplied 70 the
Yale students, but that the equipment Of
the Columbia commons was ample, oom-
plete and clean. The prices we're about
the same.

written questions that will be sent 10 any
one upon the small payment Of that $40
worth Of lettuce. After asking for height,
weight, age, color Of hair at the time Of
matricuation color Of skin, religion and
whether you prefer farm life or are in good
health the school comes right out and asks:
What kind Of ladies or gentlemen do you
prefer, Light, dark, stout, thin tall small
and why?
Why do you want TO marry?
Would you marry a drunkard and how
would you treat him?
How would you treat jealousy?
DO you like children?
What would you consider a reasonable
ground for divorce?
What ideas have you in regard TO keep
ing house2
How would you educate them'"
Then when 1t Is all finished, the education,
you get a printed form that says briefly
Dear Sir Tor Miss)-I would respectfully
request you 10 enter into correspondence
with the writer concerning matrimony,
Yours very truly &c. This last idea,
Hugo Floch said, he picked right ont Of
his own head.
Not only this, but also one gets for a
mere two dollar monev order vear's
subscription TO the Victory Magazine,
which is Col. Anoldt's pet scheme. Further
more one gets a copy OF Julius Wack's
book on marriage and divorce and things,
which to-day goes 10 the printer, For
three years has julius worked on the book.
GottI what a work was that book
And maybe there will be grand com
mencement exercises in the building that
Prexy Wack is thinking OF buying for the
magazine as soon a. he can get up 10 II,
or in the auditorium Of one Of the Homes
for Orphans and Widows that soon are
TO be built. And with the diploma doubt
less will be a marriage license absolutely
paid for, and everybody will live happily
