|C0NVICTS FAILED
TO ESCAPE JAIL
Bold Plan at The Dennemora, N. X,
Prison Was Frustrated Last Night
After Convict Had Told
The Plot.

Albany, n. Y, Oct. 23.--Armed with
a loaded revolver and two sticks OF
dynamite, half dozen conyicts in
Clinton prison at Dannemora planned
to escape from that institution last
night by overpowering or killing the
prison guard and blowing out portion
Of the prison wall with dynamite. In.
formation concerning the desperate plot
reached Warden Cole yesterday through
a convict and the well laid plans were
quickly frustrated and the conspirators
locked up.
According to the story told Warden
Cole, who subsequently reported it TO
Superintendent Collins of the state pris-
on department, one Of the gang OF plot
ters, which numbered some of the most
desperate characters in the prison, was
to saw his way out Of his cell and,
armed with the revolver compel the
guard TO unlock the cell doors in which
the conspirators were confined. In the
EVENT. Of resistance on the part of the
guard he was to beoverpowered, and if
necessary, killed, to secure possession of
the keys.
Once outside their cells the convicts
were to rush to the prison bathroom
which opens off the prison building pro-
per and extends beyond the back wall.
A key to the bathroom had been made
so as to furnish easy access. Gaining
entrance to this room the conspirators
were to dynamite the walls and rush
out under cover Of darkness.
The key 10 the bathroom has not yet
been found, but diligent search il be-
ing made for It BY the prison officials.
The revolver and dynamite sticks
which figured In the plot, were found
secreted in the clothing Of Marquis
Curtis, q Brooklyn convict, who is
serving l0-year sentence for carrying
burglars tools. Curtis had been in the
hospital for some time and yesterday
morning as he was being marched out
in the prison yard for exercise he was
pulled out OF line and searched.
The finding OF the deadly weapon
and the dynamite sticks on Curtis con
firmed the story of the plot Those sus-
pected of being implicated include Ed
ward Kelley, Monroe county murder
er, who is serving life sentence, John
Murphy known as Canada Blackie,"
who is doing life term for murder
in Schoharie county, and Harry Miller,
safe blower from New York
The revolver which was found on
Curtis belonged to W. D. WiIletts, a
prison guard, and had been missing
since last November when it niys-
teriously disappeared.
Two months ago a gang of convicts
were engaged in making a road near the
prison. Dynamite was used for blast
ing and the two sticks which Curtis
was carrying were probably secured at
that time.

DILLINGHAM; RETURNS
FROM HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
After Studying the Conditions There
Relative to immigration, He Gives
Interesting Account Of
Conditions.

Waterbury, Oct 23.-United States
Senator w. r. Dillingham; has just re-
turned from visit to the HawGian
Islands, where he has beer investigating
conditions relative to immigration.
These islands are especially adapted to
the production Of sugar, and as the ma
tive population il not available for labor
on the plantations In the past IL has
been necessary to obtain labor from
China and Japan. The census Of 1900
shows clearly the predominance Of the
Asiatic races Ia the islands The total
population at that time was $4,000,
and Of this population there were 29,799
native Hawaiians. and 1857 half-breed
Hawaiians. The Caucasians numbered
2e,sl9, the Chinese 25,767, the japanese
6l,lll, the South Sea Islanders 4l5 and
the negroes 23S The total value Of all
crops in 1900 was SCI ,202 ,422, and Of this
total the amount Of sugar produced was
s1s.762 ,966 Thus 1t will be eseen that
industries other than sugar raising are
few.
The great trouble in the labor situa.
tion arises from the fact that when the
islands were annexed to the United
States our exclusion law shut out Chin
ese and japanese laborers, and this has
caused dearth Of labor on the sugar
plantations since Owing to climatic
and other conditions white labor can-
not be secured by the planters. The
Immigration committee win secure from
business men and consuls, statistics in
detail, up TO the present time. applying
TO the situation The great problem II
to secure a class Of people who will
work on sugar plantations. Another
problem is to secure the immigration Of
race readily Amerieanized, which will
take up the public lands offered as home
steads. The purpose is to secure di-
versifcation Of agriculture. At the pres
ent time, little is being done in the
way Of raising rice, tobacco, cotton, etc.
Great improvements in the way Of trans
portation are NEEDED, including the build
ing 81 therailroads The natives are
friendly and easily influenced. One
prominent man said that II 900 good
American families could be brought to
the islands, they could control Hawaiian
politics.
