SIX PRISONERS ESCAPE
This Morning Six Pulaski County Con
 victs Broke Jail at Little Rock

Dick Slater, grand larceny. by presenting himself to Postmaster Holt as another for whom he had money order, securing identifi- cation of the postmaster, and thus being paid the money. He was captured by postal inspec- tors in Chicago, after a long chase.
 Alfred Sanders, murder. He is charged with murdering his brother-in-law in Perry county and was brought here for safe keeping:
 Jake Miller, charged W i h shooting and seriously wounding w. l.. Smink.
 Frank Lovejoy, grand larceny, accused of stealing gas 0 Ii n e launch belonging to William Let zig.
 William Grimmer and Charles Coffman, two boys accused of breaking into the residence of Constable Curtis Morgan at Little Maumelle and stealing several guns. The boys are escapes from the Virginia reform school. | Frank Woods, If years of age, charged with committing grand larceny by breaking open Iron Mountain box cars in Argenta yards, and making away with merchandise.
 Sheriff Kavanaugh has offered a reward of $100 each for the ar rest of Slater, Sanders and Mil Ter, $50 each for the return of Lovejoy, Grimmer and Coffman, and S25 for the arrest and deten- tion of Frank Woods.
 Working so quietly that even the men in the cells next to them did not know of their departure, seven prisoners confined in the Pulaski County Jail made their escape this morning some time between 1 and 1 o'clock. It is supposed they left the jail soon after the earlier hour, as it is thought they were seen crossing the free bridge about that time
 The escape of the prisoners was accomplished by saving a portion of the back wall of the cell in which Slater, San ders and Miller were confined completely in two, then twisting and breaking the iron bar which held it in position. This made a hole about 10 by 24 inches, and through it the men could easily crawl to the small corridor be- tween the wall of the cage and the brick wall of the building. Once outside of the cell an at tempt was made to pick out the bricks of the wall, but this was abandoned, probably because a

Senator Charles NJ. .Belshaw of Con-

meeting of the Lincoln Roosevelt
league club of the forty third assembly
district last night at Post and Jones
streets made an earnest plea for clean
government and the rescue of the po-
litical affairs of the state from machine
control and reused great enthusiasm.
Senator Belshaw talked along practical
lines and showed the necessity of vot-
ers taking part in the primaries If they
expected to have representative men as
their public officers. He said:
The affairs of the people have been represent

The Lincoln Roosevelt league is founded on a

SPECIAL p1spArcH TO THE CALI

WASHINGTON, April 27.-In a special
message bristling with Rooseveltisms
the president took congress to task
for not hurrying up the White House
program Incidentally fhe took some
hard wallops at rich malefactors and
other malefactors, but principally the
rich ones, whose sons grow up fools
and whose daughters become foreign
princesses."
The president tells congress that it
is not too late to get move on and
amend the antitrust act, pass an anti
Injunction law, a financial bill and
about battleships. That will come later
in a message now believed to be in
course of construction
The message came to both branches
of congress late this evening. Condi-
tions in both the senate and the house
were such that the message received
but scant attention. The house was so
tied up under its new rules that 1t
could not officially receive the message,
while the senate was In the midst of
the consideration Of the naval appro-
priation bill under the 10 men rule.
Unlike the house, the senate permitted
the formal presentation OF the message,
but 1t could not at that time be laid
before the senate, and by the time the
naval bill had been disposed Of the
hour was so late and attendance so
small that no attempt was made to
read the document. The first few lines
only had been pronounced by the clerk
when 1t was suggested that the further
reading should be postponed until to-
morrow. This suggestion was adopted
and the senate adjourned.
Following Is the text of the mes
sage.
To the Senate and House Of Representatives:
In my message to the congress OF March 25,
1908, l outlined certain measures which believe
the majority Of our countrymen desire to have

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE GALL

WASHINGTON, April 27.-One of
Speaker Cannons closest friends, who
has been extremely active in promoting
his candidacy for the presidency, an
nounced late this afternoon that within
a fortnight the speaker would take
himself out of the presidential race and
ask his supporters to go to Taft.
The news flashed through Washing
ton and caused CONSERVATION in the
ranks of the allies. The announcement
is not believed in certain quarters. how
ever, but those who do believe 1t assert
that it is the first sign of disintegra-
ton which means the utter collapse of
the anti-Taft campaign. Cannon is said
to have turned to the Taft managers to
make deal to save himself from de-
feat for reelection as speaker.

League Victory Campaign Closes
KNE[L OF NELSON
SOUNDS ON BEACH
Lincoln-ROoseyeIt Republicans
Working to Nail Lid on
Political Coffin

One of the most encoura ging district
fights undertaken by the Lincoln
Roosevelt league is that which is now
being waged in the forty-fifth against
Senator Johnny" Nelson and his heel
ers.
For years Nelson has been something
of power on the beach," owing to
his close political affiliation with Abe
Ruef and his careful imitation of the
methods used by the ex-boss to keep
control. But when Abe Ruef went to
jail the power of Nelson, like the power
of Maestretti and other faithful hench-
men, began to wane and the decent ele-
ment in the forty fifth was encouraged
to take hand in politics.
NELSON NOW ALARMED
The interference of the clean. repre-
sentative republicans spelled the polit-
ical ruin OF Nelson, and Johnny" is be-
ginning to realize this fact when 1t is
almost too late for him to make a
stand against the tide.
The regular republican club of the
forty-ifth entered the Lincoln -Roose-
welt league in body and the two har-
.getker to nail the LID firmly upon Mel
sons political coffin.
Headquarters has been opened
meetings held and a membership roll
of unusual proportions obtained with
out much difficulty. The regulars and
the leaguers now propose to hold a big
rally in the district as a fitting close to
the primary campaign.
LEAGUE PLANS RALLY
This rally will be held at knights OF
Pythias hall in Powell street. between
Green and Vallejo, Thursday night
There Will be an attractive musical pro-
gram and some of the prominent repub-
licans of the district as well as repre-
sentative members of the league from
other districts will make short ad-
dresses.
Frightened at these past and ap-
preaching activities, Johnny" Nelson
called his heelers together last night
and organized in Washington square
hall Ed Buckley, who has the distinc-
ton OF having held down job on tn,
water front longer than any other mar
who gets a salary warrant from the
harbor commissioners and who wants
