With one of the big iron bars almost
filed in two and with a rope with
which to let himself down to the
ground, George Erring, United
States prisoner held in the city jail,
had visions of freedom and a railroad
car carrying him away from Pensa-
cola, until the officers learned OF his
workings yesterday morning.
Erring had filed one OF the bars al
most entirely in two with an eight
inch fiat file and had a rope made of
six strong fishing lines knotted to-
gether Of sufficient length with which
to let himself down TO the ground.
After he was found out and his opera
tions exposed Erring admitted that he
had been at work on the Job for sew
era1 days whenever he had an opDor-
tunity to work unmolested.
BETRAYED BY PRISONER.
Allowed few days more and Erring
might have been a free man so clever
had he been in the manipulation OF his
file, but another prisoner in the Jail
heard him at work and notified the
officers Thursday night. The officers,
however, failed to see any signs of
his work upon Investigating the mat
ter and concluded II was only an at
tempt of the prisoner so reporting it
to escape himself Yesterday morn
ing another Investigation was made
to see whether any possible mistake
could have been made and this search
| revealed that the man had been
operating with a considerable degree
Of success. The bar which he chose
/ to begin to file IN TWO had several
inches play UP and down and he would
raise this bar up to file IL and ,wouid
let 1t back into the hole when any
one appeared. the filed portion being
| hid from view.
HAD ACcOMPLICE.
Erring seemed TO think the attempt
! to escape was one Of his riFIts and
admitted that his pal who has now
gone to California, brought him the
| file and rope when he visited him in
| the cell some time ago.
1t was an ugly trick. thinks Erring,
| to Interfere with his plans Of escape
when the outside was so inviting. He
is now a federal prisoner, having
been turned over TO the government
by the city authorities after they had
arrested him on the charge of selling
| liquor without a license.

For Japan. Says Dr.. chas. w. Eliot
In Address at Honolulu.
sv AssoeIated Press.

Honolulu. July 26.-Dr. Charles W.
Eliot, president emeritus Of Harvard,
who is returning from a tour of the
orient. declared IN an address here
that neither China nor Japan favored
disarmament. Such 8 course would
be Impossible for japan, because OF
her insular position.
DR.. Eliot characterized the japanese
war scares Of recent years as ab-
surd. Japan, he said, was not in the
least inclined to be war-like and
would fight only as q possible resort
or if attacked.
The only hope of worldwide dis
armament. DR.. Eliot declared. lies IN
the American policy of exemption Of
private property from attack at sea.

That may seem fantastic and alb

Suppose Taft is nominated at Chi

DEHIND THE SCENES

- 1t would be a brave or a reckless
person who would undertake to foretell
with positiveness the events political
of the next few months. There are
movements behind the scenes beyond
ali question, and no uninitiated person
can tell what alliances have been
formed or what the developments of
day may bring forth.
The act of the Progressive party III
nominating Roosevelt and leaving the
vice presidency open suggests the
thought that split in the Democratic
party is anticipated and it is hoped a
prominent Democratic Progressive will
take the vacant place.
Should it be possible that Bryan Or
Wilson would consent to be the run
ming mate of Roosevelt, the Progress
sive ticket would be practically irr@-
sistable.
The Democratic convention will meet
tomorrow in Baltimore. The bad blood
between Bryan, Wilson and other pro
gressives on one side, and Hearst,
Clark, Harmon and other reactionaries
on the other side, is already in evil
dence, and a bitter fight seems to be
at hand.
In the Republican convention a sim
pie majority of votes was sufficient TO
nominate, but the Democrats require
a two-thirds vote, and no candidate has
so large a following.
The first test of strength ip the con
vention will be on seating Alton B.
Parker as temporary chairman. Bryan,
Wilson and other Progresstves have
declared against him, and it remains 10
be seen by this first vote whether the
PrOgressives or the reactionary crowd
is in control 1t is among the possibili-
ties that Bryan and Wilson and their
followers before this week is over will
have gone over to the National Pro-
sressive party.
Behind the scenes an interesting
game is being played, and vast inter
ests hinge on the result of the game
