 Flanagan was locked up securely when he reached the jail this noon, after he had been held for trial in police department and the county jail officials are allied against him, not only because of his jail breaking pro- clivities, but because he IS in posses sion of inside information as to what went on in the jail on March 5, the day that Andrew Schmidt, burglar was taken out in a dying condition after he had escaped and been re- captured. Flanagan 1ntimates broad ly that what he knows would not sound well if he were to spread it broadcast, but Coroner Wilson who made searching investigation de- clared that the death of young Schmidt was due to falling over a which caused cerebral l1emorrhage.

 BURNS UP Mrs. Luchmann in Car Sur. rounded By Flames Has
 Narrow Escape. Accident Occurred in Fair. field Through which Fred erick Perthold Was
 Touring.

At ten o'clock this morning, when near the Gould Home, in Fairfield, a large Limousine automobile, costing $500 suddenly burst into flames and was quickly destroyed. The machine of it's own motion, turned into the road running north just east of the Gould Home. The flames 1eaped up some 30 feet scorching the foliage on large trees near by, and the heat was so intense it set fire to the hedge on the opposite side of the road. The machine was completely destroyed save the engine and the forward wheels. The explosion of the tank was heard for a long distance and soon attracted crowd of nearby res idents.
 It belonged to Frederick Perthold, of East 150th street, New York city. He was at the wheel when the explosion took place. In the auto with him were MT. and Mrs. Luchmann. Mrs. Luchmann was on the rear seat. The two men jumped from the car and MT. Luchmann pulled his wife off the seat in time to save her life. None of the occupants were hurt, but all portion of the baggage was saved.
 MT. Perthold is of the opinion that the gasoline pipe leaked and dripping onto the muffler, the fire caught from the exhaust. The machine had some 25 gallons of gasoline in it's tank. The Gould Home was at once thrown open to the victims of the accident and everything done which could be to make them comfortable.

 Nelther phyScian would go on rec ora as declaring Flanagan insane. Dr. stevens said he found symptoms indi- catlng that the man might be on the verge of paranoia, but he would not say that Flanagan was mentally fr- responsible. Dr. Coops testified along the same line. They said they would like to have more extended period to examine Flanagan before they would pass finally on his mentality. Flanagan sat within a few feet 1is- ten1ng 1ntentlv to their testimony and smiled grimly to himself as he heard the doctors and Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Redden discuss his mental condition before Judge Wilder

 Oyster Bay. Aug. 20.-Eforts to bridge the chasm between Oyster Bay and Beverly were begun today. Son. in-law Nicholas Longworth came to Oyster Bay today fresh from the golf links and political councils of Bevely. There is no doubt here that Longworth comes as an envoy from the President to measure accurately the width of the Taft-Roosevelt breach and to do his best to repair the damage. Colonel Roosevelt refuses to indicate the chances for a reconciliation.
 Meanwhile Collector William Loeb iand County Chairman Lloyd c. Gris- com of New York are preparing to go Ito Beverly to try theE hands at peace making They are not Eoing as Roose- welt emfssaries for Colonel Roosevelt fdeclares he knows nothing of their plans. But both Loeb and Griscom as lWen as many other Rapublicans are admittedly alarmed over the Roosevelt ETakt situation. They realize that if 1t loomeD to an open fight.

New York, Aug. 2o-The itinerary of Colonel Roosevelt's trip west has been issued from the press, and when the party starts next Tuesday morn ing for Utica the eyes of a great part of the United States will be turned toward the places he will visit. Of course of first importance will be his utterances on things political, but he is to make other speeches in the course of his journey which will probably have little bearing on na- tiohal affairs. A look at the map will convince one that the former President is not going to be satisfied to swing around the circle, as has President Taft several times since he assumed office, but that MT.
