Horse Thieves Break Jail

Edward Mason and Henry Hall, bound over to the Superior court from the Putnam city court on charge of horse stealing and sentenced by Judge Bennett to not less than one nor more than three years in state prison, broke jail at Brooklyn Monday night. They have been held at the jail on account of the crowded condition of the State prison.
 The men made their escape by fore ing open the door of their cells and gaining the corridor, whence they cut their way through ceiling into the attic, forced out the glass of an unbar- red window, and then, tying together sheets taken from their cells, let them. selves down from the third to the sec ond story windows, from where to the ground windows are barred, the iron gratings being used by the escaping prisoners as ladders to descend to the ground.
 The men had no more than fifteen minutes start before their escape was discovered, but though an immediate search was instituted and warnings sent in all directions they could not be located, and had not been up to a late hour Tuesday. Danieison officers remained on duty until an early hour Tuesday morning in the hope of cap turing the men.
 The ease with which the pair man. aged to break jail was a surprise to the jail officials, who were unaware that any wall or ceiling at the institution was without a protecting shield of sheet iron or cement, or both. The ceil- ing attacked, however, proved to be without even boarding above it, and all they had to do was to cut through a covering of plaster and laths. An other peculiar circumstance is that the men should have known where such a vulnerable spot was. It is assumed that the fact was known 10 some of the other prisoners, who may have given their information to Mason and Hall ! Descriptions of the escaped convicta wers sent out broadcast Tuesday.

Presentation to Miss Alexander

Miss Olive Alexander, for fifteen years in the office of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, this city, will leave at the end of this week for Newton, Mass, to enter the com- pany's office in that city. Miss Alex ander is rated as one of the most efliei. ent women employees of insurance companies in New England, and while her many friends are sorry to have her leave the city they are pleased at her advancement.
 Miss Alexander has always been ac- comodating and thoughtful for the agents connected with the office, which is. headquarters for a special district known as the Putnam district, taking in the territory between North Grosvenordale and Plainfield, and this the agents have appreciated. To show this appreciation they called at her home unexpectedly to the young lady, Saturday evening, and presented her with a handsome travelling bag and camera as tokens of their esteem and regard. The presentation was made by agent James H. Rafierty, who expressed for the agents thelregret they felt that she was to leave. He expressed their thanks and apprecia- tion for her courtesy and kindness shown them and wished her success in the larger field she was entering. Agent P. A. Reeves also made some remarks highly commendatory to Miss Alexander, who responded feel ingly to the kind words she had listened to.
 There was instrumental and vocal music by Mrs. Joseph Gareau and Miss Aurora Boulapger of Danielson, who are accomplished musicians. Re- freshments were served.
 The agents present were James H.. Rafferty, Putnam; P. A. Reeves, Dan- ielson: Patrick Reed, Wauregan; Samuel Goldberg, Louis Tratchenberg, Moosup; B.. P. Murphy, Pomfret and A. F. PelIetier, North Grosvenordale.

"If more farm land could be pro-

Less Illness Than Usual.
DIR. Samuel c. Rumford, in his report

1.-The year just past has given us less
sickness than usual among the pris-
oners, and with few exceptions has
there been any illness of a serious
nature.
"Twenty-four hundred and fifty

Seventeen men were treated In the
Tuburcular Hospital, of whom nine

So FAILURES
ON PENINSULA
CONTINUED From First Pace

Continued From First Page.
Williams said that this territory had
shared the general condition through
out the country OF dullness, with col
lotions slow. There was a total failure
of the white potato crop on the Pen
insula, making that commodity scarce
and high in price. but there was an
average crop of sweet potatoes which
are high in price because of the short
age of white potatoes The oystering
industry is about normal compared
with the past two or three years. The
fruit crop was a failure, which affected
business and mercantile conditions
generally throughout the territory.
There was a good hay and corn crop
and an average yield Of wheat
Regarding the canning industry,
some sections report that their toma-
to pack has been about the same as
usual, but others report it from % ia
80 per cent. less. On the whole it is
thought that the tomato pack is. be-
tween 60 and 75 per ct. OF what it was
in 1909 and 1910 This has caused a
higher price for tomatoes There was
but fifty per cent pack Of peas and
about a 60 per cent. pack Of sweet
corn.
The leather industry has been de-
ressed in most distances throughout
the year, and Mr.. Williams said that
the Russia Persian trouble has made
! it practically impossible for the leath-
er manufacturers to get hides from
Russia. which generally furnishes
some of the raw skins.
Industries have been dull, but the
Harlan and Hollingsworth Corpora
ton and the Pusey and Jones Company
now have many valuable orders il

sprinkle with bread crumbs that have
been grated or put through the food

white part. Use about three table
spoonfuls of each pie. Now put in
