Into St. Joseph-Had Terrorized
Passengers.

vous when the two were discovered

PRISON CONSTRUCTIONS SLOW
DELAY AT LEAVENWORTH TO BE
SUBJECT OF INQUIRY.
Chairman of House Committee DropS
in Unexpectedly, Seeking
information.

Leavenworth, Kansas.-Representa-
tive Jack Beall of Texas, chairman of
the house committee on expenditures
in the department of justice, visited
the United States prison here, his
coming being unexpected.
Mr.. Beall said it would be decided
whether his committee would visit
the local prison after his return to
Washington. He said it was prob
able that a subcommittee would in
vestigate the institution. He said he
knew nothing wrong with conditions
in the prison, but believed that an oc-
casional congressional investigation
benefited any public institution.
There are no charges of graft"
pending. 1t isn't even intimated that
anybody is doing any grating. But
it is intimated in strong, broad terms
by the representative from Texas
that in letting a contract to a firm of
architects for preparing plans and
supervising the erection Of buildings
at the federal penitentiary the bars
have been let down by the govern
ment for somebody to carry off
large chunk of the governments reve-
nues for very little returns.
The government set out II years
ago to build model penitentiary at
Leavenworth Already more than
100000 has been expended for raw
material and the work isn't half COM
pleted.
Beall went about the grounds and
viewed the piles of building material
which has been lying there since 1909.
He made notations of questions which
he will ask when the investigation
reaches the testimony stage.

California Discovery Will Make This
Country Independent of German
Monopoly.

Washington, d. CA valuable dis
covery of soluble potash salts has
just been made in the Mojave desert,
in southern California, by field rep
resentatives of the bureau of soils

lions of tons of potash.
At present the United States and
other nations are almost entirely de-
pendent on Germany for potash. Dis
agreement between the German pot
ash trust" and American buyers be-
came the subject of diplomatic ex-
changes which occupied several years
and at -one time threatened serious
complications.

ESCAPED FROM KANSAS PRISON
MAN WHO PLANTED DYNAMITE
IN YARD GETS AWAY.
Made Rope of Binding Irvine and
Climbed Out over Roof-Pal
Tries to Hide in Mine.

Lansing, Kan.-Swinging out from
the top tier of cells on frail rope
made from pieces of binding twine,
Robert Baughman, convicted of rob-
bling a safe at Olathe, and the man
who confessed to planting" dyna-
mite in the United States Penitentiary
last Thanksgiving day, drew himself
up hand over hand to the skylight in
the north dollhouse of the Kansas
penitentiary and escaped.
The escape was discovered about
ten minutes after Baughman got away.
He, with other convcts had been at
tending the prison school. The men
were returned to their cells about .
o'clock. The cellkeeper had gone to
the other side of the tier to lock the
cells there, leaving the cells on Baugh-
mans side unlocked Baughman hur-
ried out, threw his rope, which he
probably had concealed in his clothes,
over one of the bars across the sky
light, swung out % feet above the
concrete floor and slowly climbed the
rope until he could catch hold of the
bars. When the cellkeeper returned
to that side he was out and away.
William Brinkley, chum of Baugh-
man was employed in the mine. 1t
was discovered that he had hidden
himself there, hoping to get chance
to escape. All of the available Of
ficers were sent down in the mine
in an effort to find him. 1t will be
impossible for him to escape.

Sorority Results in Severe
Penalty for Six.

Emporia, Kansas.-The first dis
ciplinary measure in the Emporia
school boards war against fraternal
orders in the high school were taken

The punishment is more severe than
appears on the surface, for the three
days suspension means enough unex-
cused absences to require final ex-

those implicated.

NO MARTYRDOM
FOR ATTORNEY

Attorney COrrea, Of HilO. who some
time ago openly fIouted the fruit fly
quarantine on Hawaii, will not be
prosecuted under the present charge,
at least. Acting Attorney General
A. G.. Smith this morning sent word
to County Attorney Beers, ordering
him to withdraw his petition for a
writ of error in the case. informing
him that the rule which COrrea is
accused of violating was reported a
month before the alleged violation OC
Cured.
The rule COrrea was accused OF in
ringing was Section 4 OF Rule IA.
passed by the Board of Agriculture
and made Ian by receiving the Gov
ernOr's signature. But another rule,
adopted later, took the place of sec
ton 4, thus in effect serving as a
repeal, and for that reason COrrea
will not be prosecuted as originally
intended
The case may not be pushed at all
