Charlotte, y. c., January 31.-But for
the timely Information conveyed to
the authorities by a prisoner in Il
~ncighbori.1g cell. J.. H. Sibley and r. c..
Masters, WHO are held III Mecklenburg
jail by order OF the Federal govern-
ment to aTait trial for gigantic LAND
frauds, would doubtless have been free
men before daylight.
But one steel bar lay between Mas
tcrs and Siblry and freedom at da:k.
when the taller and his officers. acting
upon the Information received, de-
scended unon them, discovered the
tools with which they had been work
ing, and removed them TO another and
safer cell.
The informing prisoner used a clever
ruse to foil the escape. He m

through him conveyed TO the chief of
rolice the Information that the prison.
efs were e~ndeavoring to effect an cs-
cape. Imrneiiate investigation fol
lowed, and \ complete set Of saws and
other tools We're found secrctcd in
the cell. Further investigation devcl-
oped the fact that several white pris-
oners in adjoining cells were to receive
money fnr assisting in the delivery,
and the muney has been paid them.
Two women, claiming to be relatives
of the prisoners, who have recently
visited them. are presumed to have
secreted tie tools III bundles of 10th

arrested after a chase Of weeks by

noting a fraudulent resort scheme of

DELIGHTFUL RECITAL
Given By Hans Richard In The N. P.
Church Last Evening

The good judgment and taste OF
the people of Mt Vernon are not to be
doubted, for the splendid audience,
both in quality and numbers, which
greeted Hans Richard Monday night
at the M. P. church, under the aus
pices of the Beethoven club, and their
enthusiastic appreciation of his art,
gave evidence of this. Hans Richard
is beyond doubt the finest artist ever
heard in Mt. Vernon. His clear and
distinct tone in carrying his main
themes through intricate passages
was marked, and the absence OF blur
ring in all of his runs was decidedly
refreshing.
The Beethoven club is much encour.

MONUMENT
To Queen Victoria To Be
Unveiled In May
When Impressive Exercises
Will Be Held

London, Feb. 28-The middle Of
May has been selected as the time
for the unveiling the National Memoir
ial to Queen Victoria, which It has
taken more than FIVE years to build In
the great circular space In front Of
Buckingham Palace created and beau
tilted by the art of Sir Aston Webb.
No more appropriate time for the un-
yelling of the memorial could have
been selected. The impressive exer-
cises in honor of the memory Of "vic-
toria the Good" will form fitting pre-
lude to the brilliant ceremonies of the
coronation of her grandson that will
follow a month later.
Many of the royalties of Europe are
to attend the unveiling. The colonial
premiers and other statesmen who
are to attend the imperial conference
beginning at the end Of May will also
have a part in the exercises.
The Queen Victoria memorial has
been spoken of as the 'Dreadnaught"
of great monuments. From start to
finish the builders have kept the idea
of the durability of the monument in
mind. Every brick in the deep foun-
dations and every block Of marble in
the massive superstructure was
carefully examined and pronounced
perfect before it was put in place. The
great monument as it stands complet.
ed represents more than 1000 tons OF
marble, masonry and granite.
Colossal is the only word giving
an adequate conception Of the size
and imposing appearance of the mon
ument. The memorial as a whole con
sists of a vast artistic framework
that includes so many works of ART
that their conception and execution
alone might have filled half a busy
mans working lifetime. There are
numerous statues and low reliefs IL
both marble and bronze, to say moth
ing of the great flights of steps, the
magnificent fountain basis, the retain
ing wall, the piers and bases.
The central figure, of course, is the
statue of the Queen, who is presented
with characteristic dignity. The stat
ue is of marble and is 1914 feet high
Forming the background for the
Queens statue is a great marble base

mistake and told him that she had
no money and that he had better leave

POLITICAL MISSION
In washington Gave Chase Notion Of
Entering theatrical Business
washington POST

"Who will say that politics doesn't
pay?" remarked Harry NJ. Daugherty,
Of Columbus, as he looked from a Will
lard window at the crowd coming from
a popular theatre. "That outpouring
reminds me that in way am re-
sponsible for It. Years ago, when ]
was chairman of the State compaign
committee, we thought It wisdom, al
so only fair and proper to collect some
campaign expense account from the
government clerks who had been
drawing good salaries for years,
thanks to our political activity in
their behalf at home. So picked out
Chase to come here and collect. He
came from a village called Sparta,
up in Morrow county, and he seemed
to have the right texture for a mis-
sion of the sort in mind.
He came on to interest the clerks
Of our State in the home campaign,
and to get what he could. 1t was a
case of slow degrees and toll, and
Chase had plenty Of time on his
hands. He studied the amusement
situation in Washington, and con
cluded that there was room for q
family sort of playhouse. He organ
lied for it and wanted us wise ones
back home to go in with him. We
couldn't see it as Chase saw It, but
he kept plugging away, and all of ui
lament that we don't go in. Every
time l visit Washington l figure out
with mournful multiplication what
might have gained in ducats had
shared the optimism and faith o
Chase. Yet he would never have wor
his great success had 1t not been fol
politics and for the need of Stat,
committee that hankered for funds
with which to pay expense accounts.
