fact did escape, but was recaptured
the same day. At that time the pres

ture was in the course Of construc-
ton Gangs of prisoners were
marched over from the old prison to
the new one to work every Gay

Nothing discouraged by his un-
successful attempt to escape in June,
Clements waited a few weeks. and
tried it again. On the evening of
August e, while returning from work
he again made an attempt 10 escape,
and this time he was successful.
That was II years ago. Had Glenn
ents stayed out his time he would
have been discharged over a decade
ago. AS it is, he will have TO serve
full time for the rest of his term.
There is no statute of limitations by
which prisoner can escape serving
out the remainder of his term after
he has escaped. and Clements will
not be released until April IS, 1912
Clements was brough. back to

steamer Celtic on the last voyage

Indians offered a sacrifice to the
evil spirits while the Celtic was in
mid-ocean and danced the sacred
dance that always accompanies the
sacrifice.
The sacrifice" was a technicality,
for Captain Hambleton would not
permit an animal to be offered.
Doves feathers were scattered in
the center of a blanket When the
chef arose from his squattng posi-

UNION MINERS IN
AWFUL STRAITS
LONG IDLENESS IN LABOR FIGHT
PROVING TOO MUCH FOR TOLL
ERS-HElP.

Muskogee, Okla, Aug. Flour
months of idleness had reduced the
miners of the coal regions of Oklaho-
ma to dire distress. almost to starva-
ton, and agents are going all over
the state soliciting aid from union la
Dor organizations to help the miners
carry on the long struggle.
Five thousand miners walked out
of the Oklahoma mines on the first
day of April. They have not worked
an hour since, in the mines. They
went out on a strike because the union
labor contract with the mine opera
tors, which had been in effect two
years, expired at that time, and the
miners made demands for increased
wages and other concessions which
the operators refused to grant.
The miners knew it would be long
struggle. But they thought sixty days
would see it over. They were prepar-
ed for that much idleness. But it
has been more than twice sixty days,
and no settlement yet is in sight. As
soon as the miners quit they commenc-
ed to seek other work. They found
desultory employment in a few in
stances. Some tried farming But
most of them are unfamiliar with any
kind of work except mining. Conse-
quently those who did not get out OF
the country at once have lived as best
they could for months, until, according
to the agents going over the country
in their behalf the women are with
cut adequate clothing, and the babies
are crying with hunger
Every local labor union in Muskoeee
has been asked to contribute to the
and most of them responded
promptly with money which they had
on hand for just such emergencies, or
have set about raising their assess
ments in various ways. Union labor
leaders say that the state will take
care OF the situation and that they
will keep the miners from suffering
for a year if it is necessary to keep
the fight up that long. But the trou-
BILE is, the funds raised in this man
ner do not always reacn those who
in greatest distress.
Some of the tales of distress com
ing from the homes of foreign miners
who cannot speak English, and there
fore are handicapped in finding en-
ployment of any character are most
pitiable. One instance is cited where
mother and six children We're found
almost without clothing and actually
starving. The father and husband had
been gone two weeks looking for work
and found none.

Beverly Mass, Aug. 11.-President
Taft and President Hadley were in
conference again late today regarding
the personnel and work of the COM
mission which is to be appointed to
inquire into the proposed regulation

end in view, Mr.. Taft has invited a
number of the party leaders in Ten

the financial condition of the inter

proposition to President Lewis.
The account of the international
