FIVE PRISONERS
ESCAPE FROM JAIL
Dug Hole In Wall at Window on
First Floor and Then crawIed
Out and Skipped.

There was a general jail delivery
here last night, but not by the sheriff
at the order of the court.
When Sheriff Kettering arose this
morning he discovered that five OF his
prisoners had broken jail some time
during the night and had decamped
for parts unknown With small
piece of iron twhere Il came from and
how 1t got there no one about the
Jail seems to know the fellows dug a
hole in the wall beside an east win
dow on the first floor of the jail, hav-
ing first removed the metal screen at
the window, and through the aperture
thus made they crawled out, jumped
TO the ground and escaped II Is evil
dent that the bricks in the wall must
be very soft to have enabled the men
to effect their escape so easily. The
prisoners were not locked in sep
arate cells for the night but were al
lowed to congregate In the large Jail
room where they were regarded as
perfectly safe.

NEW COMPANY ASSURED
More Than Half of Stock Subscribed
Company VIII BE Organized
Friday Night.

From The World OF Wednesday:
The stockholders of the Rowe
Motor Co. were to have held meet
ing last night in the Board OF Trade
rooms for the purpose OF organizing.
At the request, however, OF number
of the stockholders who had other en-
gagements on hand. the matter was
deferred until next Friday evening.
Mr.. Samuel j. Rowe, of Waynes-
boro, the promoter of the company,
was here today and told a representa-,
tive of The Evening World that he
feels greatly encouraged by the pres
ent outlook for the establishment OF
this new industry in Martinsburg. He
said that already about 100000 OF the
capital stock has been taken and the
br'ance OF $4,000 will soon be sub
scribed. The people here, he sail,
we're rightfully little slow at first
to take hold of the project, but once
they were convinced that the enter
prise was practicable as business
proposition, subscriptions to the stock
were obtained from some OF the lead
ing business men of town without any
trouble.
As told before herein the Rowe
Motor Co. was chartered under the
laws Of New Jersey with capital
stock OF 100000. Mr.. Rowe only
asks that $4,000 of that amount be
subscribed in Martinsburg in order to
secure the location OF the automobile
industry here.

substantial nature has been shown
tending to discredit his statement,
heretofore made, that he is not re-
sponsible, by accident or design, for
the death of Col. Swope; or that the
death resulted from other than natur-
al causes The statements of the ex-
perts employed by Mrs. Swope We're
so at variance with one another that
no reasonable conclusion could be
drawn therefrom.
Counsel for DR.. Hyde therefore re-
fused to permit him to be sworn as a
witness, accepting full responsibility
therefor with the assurance to the
public tina, a complete investigation
will result in the exoneration of Dr.
Hyde from all blame in the matter
Relatives Doubt Elmer >Swope.
Although the relatives OF the late
millionaire Thomas H. Swope pooh
pooh the claims of Elmer Swope of
Martinsburg, w. Va, there are many
persons in Kansas City who are will
ing to give the man hearing provid-
ing he can produce something tangi-
bic in the way of evidence to substant-
late his claims. SO far as known, Col.
Swope was never married During
his more than forty years residence
in Kansas City Col. Swope became
known as a woman hater.
No one is willing to be quoted that
Col Swope ever said that there ever
was woman mixed up in his life.
but for years the story has been cir
culated from time to time that the
Colonel's aversion to women was
caused by an unpleasant experience
dating back to his youth. Just what
this experience was no one here
seems to know.
Col. Paxton, one of the execut ors OF
the Swope estate and for many years
a confident OF the dead millionaire
says that he knows nothing of the
Virginia claimant. The statement Of
Elmer Swope that he was born after
the rupture between his father and
mother seems to be the only tangible
evidence that Col Swope was his
| father.
Col. Swope was considered just
man. In his will he provided literally
for each Of his known relatives. Had
he know of son 1t is safe to predict
that liberal provision would have been
made for him.
So FAR as can be learned, Elmer
lSwope has not engaged counsel here
to fight for the estate. The only ev
| idence OF his existence that has reach
| ed Kansas City is letter addressed
to Prosecutor Conkling, in which he
says: please give me the particu
lars surrounding the death of my
father, Col Thomas Fl. Swope."
This letter reached the prosecutor 2
sweek- ago.

HOSPITAL ANNEX
PLANS APPROVED
City Hospital Directors Appoint Com
mittee to Pass on Specifications
For Big Annex.
From The World of Thursday.

From The World OF Thursday.
The directors of the City Hospital
held meeting last night.
DR.. T. X. Oates and Mr.. A. T. Par
lett were appointed a committee to ex-
anime the plans and specifications for
the new hospital annex, prepared by
Architects Woltz &. Porter, of Waynes
boro, and report back at meeting OF
the directors next Tuesday night.
AS told before in this paper the di-
rectors had previously approved the
building plans in outline, but since
then the architects have made
the blue prints and drawn up the spec
ifications, and it is the latter, partic-
ularly, that the committee is instruct
ed to carefully examine.
DR.. Oates, superintendent of the
hospital, and the directors are anxious
to begin building operations soon by
reason of the pressing demand for
more hospital room, and will do so as
soon as spring opens up.
Reports of the officers were also
read, showing the hospital to be in a
very flourishing condition, but over
crowded at times on account of lack
of room.
