Carries Them Pail of Water.
Turnkey King was asked for a bucket
OF water last night. and it was because of
his effort to be obliging that his prison
ers got away. He procured the water
and went to the cell with it. The cell in
which the five men were confined is
really a room, being large enough to ac-
commodate so many persons without
crowding. AS soon as King entered the
place in which the men We're confined
one Of them grabbed him, and he realized
that they were going to make an effort
to escape.
There was no light in the room, and
the turnkey could scarcely tell just which
way to turn. He realized, however, that
he was soon In the grasp of two of the
prisoners, while the others searched his
pockets and got possession of his keys.
No effort was made to harm him, the
four men using only such force as was
necessary to enable them to. get the KEYS
from his pocket.
When the two who had taken the keys
from King had reached the yard OF the
county prison they Signaled their COM
panions. King was then released and
the four men were soon their way

village had retired, and even some Of

Franklin, n. H, March 24.-Inter-
esting developments In the situation
among the papermakers in the mills
of the International Paper company
here were expected today and action
that would lead to a strike was con-
sidered not improbable. A meeting of
the night shift of the paper workers
employed i'll he mills was called for
this morning. Following this meeting
it was thought the announcement of
the attitude of the union men would be
made.
Although no announcement was
made as to what tranSpired at the
meeting of the union paper makers
child last night at which President John
H. Malin of the International Sulphite,
Pulp and Paper Mill Workers union
spoke, it VS. said that many of the men
expressed their displeasure at the
treatment accorded Mr.. Main by the
city council Yesterday. Mr.. Malin was
requested to leave Franklin following
a special meeting of the council, but
he refused to do SO on the ground that
he was conducting himself as law
abiding citizen. No further action was
taken by the council. Mr.. Malin says
he intends to remain here a few days.

Rumford Falls, Me-, March 24.-There
was no second attempt made to escort
George J. Schneider, vice president of
the International Brotherhood of Pa
permakers, out of town and with his
police guard he was still in his lodging
in the Odd Fellows building today. Mr..
Schneider is busy reorganizing union
among the paper workers here and
from the readiness shown by a large
number of the men in joining forces, it
was expected that action toward a
strike would be taken soon.
An investigation into the "deporta-
ton" Tuesday of Mrs. Schneider and
President John H. Malin, now in
Franklin N. H, is being conducted by

Bellingham, Wash, MarcI 24.-Dr.

paradise, Chile. in which she saws the
doctor is broken in health, without
funds and unable to continue his fight
to establish his claim that he d1scoV-
cred the pole. DIR. Axtell said:
Mrs. Cook tells me in her letter
that Cook made considerable money
out of his trip when he first arrived In
New York, but that he spent it in de-
Tending himself against bitter attacks
from his enemies before the Copen-
hagen decision was made public.
Cook left New York later to escape
contumely, says Mrs. Cook. and to go
before the board of inquiry at Copen-
hagen as his own representative. Then
Mrs. Cook followed him, met him in
England, found him a nervous wreck
and very i'll.
"She writes that it was her fault
that Cook did not appear publicly at
the time he was unfavorably reported
on. She says she took him to Holland,
France, Italy and then to Spain, where
they embarked for Buenos Ayres
From Buenos Ayres they went
around Cape Horn to Chile and have
remained there ever since. Cook is
still very ill and will be in no condi-
ton to take up his fight for the honors
which he still says should have been

Washington. March 24-The admins
tration railroad bill embodying many
changes in the existing law and large
ly amended since its Introduction In the
house by Mr.. Townsend was ordered
favorably reported by the house COM
mittee on interstate commerce today.
The committee split on party lines. All
the Republicans voted for the bill in
Guiding Chairman Mann The absent
Republicans under agreement, were re-
corded in the affirmative. Two Demo-
Gratis voted against the bill and they
will present minority report. The bill
in it's original form now is pending In
the senate
The report from the house committee
will be presented within four or five
days. Chairman Mann said he was un-
able to say when the measure would
be brought up in the house and wheth-
er or not there will be a caucus on 1t,
is uncertain.
''The bill speaks for ITSELF" said Mr..
Mann. In addition to the creation OF
q commerce court it contains import
ent provisions which add to the pow
ers of the interstate commerce commits
sion over the regulations, practices and
rights of railways and decidedly

government for the regulation of the

road or water line of a competing line,
except when authorized by the COM
stocks or bonds. except for legitimate
purposes and at prices to be fixed by
the interstate commerce commission and
forbids any issue of stocks or bonds
except on application to the commits
sion"
The minority report will be prepared
under the direction of Mr.. Adamson of
Georgia, ranking Democrat on the COM
mittee Mr.. Adamson opposes govern

ing lines. control of issuance of stocks

ever, do not share his views.
Many of the amendments to the bill
were drawn in entirety in the bill in
troduced early in the session by Chair
man Mann, who can see no necessity
for a commerce court and whose views
differ materially from the administra-
ton on railroad legislation.
There will be several committee
amendments offered on the floor of the
house when the bill is taken up in the
event the committee should agree upon
several provisions which it did not act
upon definitely.

A correspondent from Clay county
writes that things are beginning to
hum in a political way in his county.
Congressman McKinlay spoke in Clay
Center the other night to crowd
composed of square dealers and regu-
lars in equal proportions. The county
is said to be evenly divided as between
the factions of the party. Speaking of
county politics and local candidates the
correspondent says:
1T is said that F. B. Dawes has been
approached by his friends to make the
race for the nomination of district
Sam Kimble of Manhattan. Mr.. Dawes
has not yet given his consent but it is
understood that he will make his an
nouncement at an early date. He in
troduced Congress McKinlay Monday
night in one of his old time Repub
lican speeches. He was moderate to-
wards the insurgents and left the state
administration alone. Neither insur-
gent nor standpatter could take offense
and it looked to an outsider as a bid
for office. His law partner R. c.
Miller, would like to get into the race
for district judge on the Democratic
ticket and if the agreement of the firm
was cancelled wherein neither could

then Dawes and Miller would catch
them coming and going.
Three candidates have announced
themselves for the Republican nominal
ton of probate judge, r. A1sop of
Wakefield ex-clerk of the district
court; John A. Loader. ex-probate
judge, and w. c. Williams.

ton to the present incumben J. p.

but whether he can beat the present
