Lincoln, Neb. March 1s-Just before
daylight this morning the three con.
yicts who escaped from the state PEN
itentiary last Thursday were seen go
ing thru South Bend on a. hand car
stolen from g section house at Prairie
Home during the night.
On the way to South Bend they had
stopped at Murdoch and broken into a
hardware store and general store. Sc
curing an outfit of clothing and stock
OF ammunition. They did not seem
anxious to secure money.
It is thought that the men. who are
well stocked with guns and clothing,
probably also have secured food at
some farm house and are making a
sortie for the immediate vicinity of the
Platte river, intending to make stand
somewhere near there If caught, or
preferably to lose themselves in some
of the wild country surrounding the
river at different points.
Strong posses led by, Sheriff Hyers
and others left Lincoln on the trSil
of the fleeing handcar as soon as a
special train could be made ready.

ROOSEVELT COMING WEST.
coIonsl Plans Whirlwind Speaking
Tour-To Attack Taft Policies.


Oyster Bay, N. Y, March 1s.-Col-
onel Roosevelt will make a whirlwind
tour Of the countrys in u stump cam
paign in his own behalf. He will pitch
into the Taftspolicies and elaborate on
his own, aud will not forget the male
factors Of great wealth" Chicago will
be among the first large cities to hear
the colonel
This 10 the program mapped out at
the conference between the colonel and
his national campaign lieutenants.
The campaign tour will not extend
fined to the central west and New
England.
The speech before the Civic Forum
in New York Wednesday night Is the
first on the program. Later this week
Colonel Roosevelt .yill talk somewhere
on the East siJssin New York. II q
hall can be obtained. Early next week
he Will start on a tour Of the middle

ed upon, to be made at Chicago, st.
Paul or Minneapolis. and st. Louis.

In the week beginning March 81, Col
onel Roosevelt will go into New Eng
land. Speeches are to be made in Bos-
ton and Concord, N H., with possibly

Roosevelt doubted whether he would
be able to go to Maine before the pri-
maries are held. A trip to Philadelphia
and Newark Is to be made during the
week Of April Z.
None Of the speaking dates has been
definitely fixed. The Roosevelt cam
paign managers are at work upon the
itineraries, which probably will not be
completed for several days.
Replying to a statement attributed
to Samuel S. Koenig, chairman Of the
New York county republican commit
tee, that Colonel Roosevelt would have
not more than four or five delegates
from New York state, the colonel said:
II expect that we will get at least
twenty delegates, and If it were not for
the bad primary system in this state
we would break even or better"
Colonel Roosevelt during his talk
with the newspaper men alluded to re-
ports that misleading Information IN
regard to the campaign was being dis
seminated in news dispatches. He said
some of his supporters had told him
that in certain news reports the facts
the relative strength Of the
Taft and Roosevelt forces had been
misrepresented. Ex- Senator Beveridge.
he said, had told him that the situa-
tion In Indianapolis had been misrep-
resented in dispatches, saying the pri-
maries there had resulted in favor or
President Taft, whereas, MIR. Bever-
idge said, they were two to one IN
favor Of Colonel Roosevelt. Governor
Hadley Of Missouri told him. Colonel
Roosevelt continued, that similar
situation had arisen on the day OF the
primaries IN Kansas City.
The colonel said that he did not be-
lieve the Roosevelt forces would have
control of the republican national
committee and that all he wanted from
the committee was q square deal.
Today Colonel Roosevelt attended
St Patrick's dinner In the neighbor-
Ing town Of Huntington.

San Antonio, March 1S.--At least
twenty-five persons were killed in the
explosion of locomotive boiler at tho
Southern Pacific round house today.
Most of he dead and injured were
strike breakers who took the places OF
Southern Pacific sfopmcn who struck
here several months ago.
So feurfully mangled were some of
the bodies that 1t is thought they never
can be fully identified.
Many Others Injured.
Eighteen bodies had been recovered
within two hours after the explosion.
and more were being removed. Nearby
stores and buildings were filed with
injured. The roundhouse and cooper
shops were wrecked. and many men

rushed to the yards and police ambu-
lances and Y. NJ. c. A. workers were
organized into rescue bands TO take out
the dead and try to save the lives OF
the injured.
City Has Been Orderly.
The victims were said to be largely
strikebreakers who have been working
in the Southern Pacific shops ever
since the shipments strike began sew
eral months ago. After the explosion
rumors in the downtown section OF
San Antonio were that dynamite was
the cause. but Investigation at the
yards showed indication that such
rumors were unfounded.
San Antonio has been free from vio-
lence during the strike.

Springfield, Neb., March 1s.-The
three convicts who last week mur-
dered three officials at the state peni-
tentiary at Lincoln. We're pursued
north of here by posses from Omaha,
Lincoln and Plattsmouth. They were
being driven in a sled by Roy Blunt, a
farmer who resides three miles north
of town. The convicts were lying down
in the body of the vehicle, forcing the
farmer to expose himself to the bull
lets Of the posse.
The three convicts approached the
Blunt home about IL o'clock this
morning and forced the farmer to take
them in his sleigh to Springfield. He
refused at first but they covered him
with their guns and ordered him to
prepare to start. The posses overlook
the party and when they refused to
halt opened fire. In the battle that
followed two Of the convicts were
killed. So far as known none of the
members of the posse was wounded.

THE OTHER FORM WILL DO.

The dilatoriness OF the judicial ma
cbinery Of this State i'll enforcing the
death penalty for murder has attracted
the attention of newspapers outside.
And vet we see no particular reason
why II should attract attention, because
if Utah is worse than other States Of
the Union in this respect. the difference
cannot possibly be very great; and Ger
tainly as compared with some of the
Western States. Oregon for example,
Utahis record is very good And yet
we find the following editorial note in
the Portland Oregoniau:
II Governor West could have his way
the art OF hanging would become as COM
pletely lost In Oregon as II is in Utah
though there is plenty OF suitable ma
terial on which this State can prac-
tice,
The Utah courts arc getting around
TO the enforcement Of the death pen
atty in pretty good shape, and we may
reasonably expect within no great
length Of time in the future, to see the
judgment of the law executed upon
number Of capital offenders. But with
respect to the hanging part OF it,
we have in Utah an alternative form
of execution. viz, by shooting. Con-
victs in Utah usually prefer death by
bullet TO death by the rope, And so
there is little hanging in Utah, but we
may be allowed 10 expect that the rig,
ors Of the law will be none the less Sc

THE AINSWoRTH CASE.

1t was probably not to be expected
that the sudden and peremptory re-
tiremeut OF Adjutant General Fred c.
Ainsworth would be allowed TO pass by
the House Of Representatives without
an effort TO make political capital out
of IT,. II is certainly true, in spite of
what the House Committee may say,
that General Aiuswortb was guilty Of
marked INSTRUMENTATION in criticising
with contemptuous disregard Of persons
and of discipline. his superiors in of.
fee. Ii is surprising, therefore, that
the House of Representatives could find
that there was no offense committed by
Ainsworth in this respect, and that the
offense was altogether on the part Of
the Secretary Of War and the com.
msuding General of the army, the men
whom Gen. Aiusworth so superciliously
referred TO in his airy letters as per
sons who did not know what they were
talking about, and whose recommends
tions. if they were adopted, would be
injurious to the service.
The House committee finds reason
for the attitude Of the Secretary Of
War and General Wood in their per
emptory calling Of General Ainsworth
to account, in the support Of Gen. Aims

ganizstion Of the army. and the oppo-
sition of the Secretary of War and Of
General Wood to that bill. In this
view Of the case, the House stands by
the military man who favored the bill
which il favored, and opposes the Off.
cinls who condemned that bill
II is a curious exhibition of political
partisanship and bias for the House to
take the action that IL has done in re-
gard TO the Aiusworth ease. We our
selves thought that the Secretary of
War and General Wood were rather
sharD aud severe with General Aims.

Ainaworth wrote, il would have been a
gross trifliDg with discipline If they
