PRISONERS MAKE ESCAPE
One Is Jerry McCarty, Who Was
Sent Up From This County.

Scnt Up from MS SOunty.
Saltwater, Mimi, March 6.-The
chase for the two convicts who es-
capped from the state prison Satur-
day night at eight O'Clock has been
kept up continuously. Practically all
the guards and other citizens en-
ployed in the offices and factories
were sent to all points of the sur
rounding country in pairs, in We
hicles, on horseback and on foot
Reports received from them dur
ing yesterday failed 10 indicate any
positive clue. They have kept up
the hunt without sleep or rest until
last night Officers Of the cities and
villages and farmers who were
reached all over the country by tele-
phone and who were informed by
the prison searchers Of the escape,
joined in the hunt, stimulated by the
offer of reward.
Several rumOrs reached the prison
as to men being seen, but on in
vestigation they proved worthless.
Warden WOlfer adheres to his
first opinion that confederates on
the outside were handy to help IN
the getaway.
Jerry McCarty. alias Kid McNish,
w. I. Mack and Thomas Hatch, is a
cunning fellow. He knew the sur
rounding country, as he stayed about
here at the end of his first term
in 1899, which was for year and IA
half for a pOstOifice burglary in Blue
Earth county. He escaped from the
Montana penitentiary anG also from
! Fort Madison, Iowa, where he was
under sentence OF eighteen years
for attempted MURDER He got away
from Fort Madison in May, 1909,
and was sent TO the prison here
December IA of the same year
Warden Wolfer says he cannot
keep out of prison and will land
in another one soon, if not captured
before.
1t was thought that if the men did
not have confederates on the out.
side they would hide early i'm the
morning, after going as far as they
could and would steal out in the
darkness from the prison.
The warden said that ii was pos
sible others will try to follow the
example of McCarty and Juhl to es
cape, but extra precautions will be
taken. The yard will be more bril-
liantly lighted at night and there
will be wall guards in the future
at night as well as during the day
All prisoners were turned out OF
their cells a half hour earlier thar
usual yesterday morning for Sunday
A thorough search of the clothing
cots and cells was made to be sure
no cOntraband articles were secreted
There was rumor that a MAJ
with Il bundle got off Northern
Pacific train Saturday evening ant
was seen lettering about the prison
wall. Ii was demonstrated toda,
that it was possible for the cor
victs to scale the wall just north O
the railway gate without a ladde
or rope. Once on the top they cOul,
drop down without much risk O
injury, as the escaped men wer
seen to do by wOrkmen coming. frOr

st. Paul, March S.-fIaving no de-
sire to vote and being abundantly sat
isfied with the suffrage they already
possess through their husbands and
sons, 1913 representative Minneapolis
women presented a petition to the
state senate protesting against the
passage of the Sageng bill that would
and give women the franchise The
petition reads: 80
Ito the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives of the State of Mime
sofa:
I'VE. the undersigned women of
the state of Minnesota, do hereby
beg to present to your honorable
bodies our most earnest protest
against the passage of that certain
bill known as Senate File No. 50, per-
tanning to the extension of the fran
chise to woman, and respectfully So
licit the opposition of each and every
member of your honorable bodies to
the said bill, believing:
First. That woman has already
a sphere of usefulness commensurate
with her powers and strength, and
that within that sphere lies the work
by which she can best serve the
state
Second. That large majority of
women are Of this opinion, and
neither demand nor wish the fran
chise
Third. That women who are in a
position to enter public life as it is
now open to them are able to do far
more efficient work towards the bet
terment of conditions than would be
possible through affiliatiOn with pO-
litical parties.
Fourth. That woman, equally with
man, derives benefit from taxes
levied on her property, in public SER
| vice and improvements, and that she
is physically untitled to pay the SER
vice tax of jury duty from which she
! now is exempt, but to which the fran
chise would logically render her liza
BILE.
"She is, moreover, unable to per-
form the police and military service
which in extremity should be the
+! common burden of all who particl
pate in making laws which must be
| enforced.
| Fifth. That reports from the -four
states where woman has had the
franchise for from fourteen to forty
one years, show no such advancement
over other states in either laws OF
social conditions as would justify
emulation of their example.
sixth. That wages of women, rs
of men. are governed by the laws
of supply and demand. The ballot
has not solved industrial problems
for men, and statistics show that il
is not solving them for women in
the suffrage states.
Seventh. That the state should
not incur needless expense. or en-
: gender unnecessary conflict, by bring
, ing this question before the people al
: contemplated by this bill, until it il
. affirmatively shown that a large pei
Y centage Of women, the supposed bene
D flciaries, are in favor of the pro
posed change.

prints in the Snow; Chief Execu-
tive Calm and Serene.

From Saturdays Daily.
Mankato saloonmen held a meet
ing last Wednesday night to discuss
the local political situation. 1t is
not known whether all the liquor
dealers were present. but enough
has leaked out to warrant the state
ment that a number Of the proprie-
tors of thirst parlOrs" have placed
the seal Of their disapprOval on the
reelection of Mayor A. G. Meyer.
Charge "Pernicious Activity"
1t is known that several saloon
men have been ''remarking" on the
mayors desire to keep the Sunday
lid on straight. and they go so EAR
as to object TO the chief executive
exhibiting what they are pleased to
term his '.perniciOus activity" on
the Sabbath day-in that he has
made personal inspection to satisfy
himself that the rear doors of sa-
looms were not open to those who
could enjoy Sabbath day nip"
want to Gust Such a Mayor"
1t is understood that one of the
saloOnmen gave utterance to the re-
mark: I'VE want TO GUST such a
mayor; he watches us too closely on
Sundays; he walks through the al
leys to find our whether we are
doing business" Mayor Meyer does
not enter a denial to this impeach-
ment. In fact, he declared TO The
Free Press that he has on several
occasions strolled in the alleys
something he had perfect right
to do" why, as late as last Sun
day ! took walk through one of the
alleys, and was not disguised,
either"
Those Telltale Footprints.
Ever since that Sabbath morning
when Mayor Meyer discovered those
telltale footprints in the snow lead
ing to the rear door of a certain
South Front street saloon, and fol-
lowed his discovery with request
from the council for plain clothes
men to keep an eye on Sabbath day
violatOrs Of the law, several deal
ers in the sweat OF the still" have
been cOagitating quite hard with a
view to bringing someone out to
make the run against Mayor Meyer
Up TO date no one has accepted their
invitation to get into the game.
Puts It Up to the People.
Mayor Meyer stated today that he
would not be surprised if he should
be confronted with an opponent, but
he is going to stay in the field. He
declines TO become agitated over the
matter. II will leave the decision
as to whether | shall succeed myself
in the hands of the people. They
know me; they are in position to
say whether | am worthy of their
continued confidence" said the may
or as he closed the interview.

WOODROW WILSON BUSY
DRAFTING HIS MESSAGE
Will Outline His Views on Ma
tionaI P0IiCies-Interestin
Senatorship Fight.

TRENTON, N. j., December 31.-Gov.-
elect Woodrow Wilson. who returned to
his home in Princeton last night from a
SiX-day visit to st. Louis, is hard at
work on his inaugural address and first
message as governor to the legislature
That body meets in annual session Janu-
airy TO- but Mr.. Wilson will not take Of
flee until one week later On that occa-
sion he will deliver what is expected to
be a noteworthy inaugural, outlining his
attitude on questions of state interest and
in broader sense his views concerning
policies Of national government.
The Senatorship Fight.
The question what New Jersey democrat
will succeed John Kean. republican, who
has been one of the United States SEN
! ators from this state for twelve years, is
the matter of paramount Importance to
the citizens at the present time 1t is
hardly believed there will be Official de-
velopments on the senatorship before
Tuesday morning, January 10. when the
democratic legislators are scheduled to
caucus.
While the question Of the selection of
Mr.. Keans successor may not come I'D
puUllClN dt tldI tituc, nevertheless tnere
is a feeling that the warfare between the
adherents of James Smith. jr., former
United States senator, and James f.
MARITIME of PlainfieId, the only two
avowed candidates in the contest. will
have been fought to a decision by that
time.
No Definite Claims.
Neither side has made any definite
statement of it's strength. The MARITIME
leaders hope that the meeting jan
uary of Plaintield citizens in the inter-
est of their fellow-townsman will bear
fruit, especially as their candidate has the
powerful backing and influence Of Wood
row Wilson. while those interested in Mr..
Smiths candidacy apparently place great
confidence in that gentleman's ability as
a political leader and strategist. There are
nine democrats and twelve republicans
in the senate and forty-two democrats
and eighteen republicans in the house, or
. total membership in the two houses Of
eighty-one. 10 win the senatorship the
successful candidate will have to receive
forty-One of the eighty-one votes.
