CONNECTS WILL AID
 TO PROTECT LEVEES
Despite Plain Wording of Law, State Prisoners Will Be Used Away From Farms in Emergency
 Moose Renders Opinion.

Little Rock, March 28.-In open violation of the law, backed by the acting governor and attorney gen. eral, the Arkansas board of peni- leutIary commissioners will send 200, or as many conVlcts as can be spared from the state farm, to the aid of the St. Francis leyee. board in saving the leYees on the Missis- sippi river.
 The conyicts will be ready to leave the farm today, and will go to Warner, thence to McGehee or Pine BIun, to be taken to the point designated by President 0. Il. hil- tough of the levee board.
 President klilough sent urgent messages to Acting Governor Flu lrell and members of the peniten- | tiary commission Thursday after noon, asking for conyicts to help protect the weak places in the le- wees. As the law requires all con- yicls to be worked on the state famIs and prohibits leasing of con- vicls in any way, the commission CTS appealed to Attorney General w. L. Moose for advice. He informed the commissioners the law is very plain, but as this is an emergency, he thought the people of the state would commend, instead of con- demn, the action of the commission if the cOnViCts were made use of in | fipbt hn waters
 Acting Governor Futrell, when appealed to, also said the law was plain, but the only power the gov ernor had in dealing with the peni- tenLary commission was to appoint it's members and in ease they did not do their duty to remove them for cause. He would not consider the violation of the law, such as taking the prisoners to the leVeeS 10 protect property of the stale, he stated, sufficient reason to remove any members of the board, but one for approval.
 J. A. Turner of Jonesboro, for mer member of the levee board, called on Acting Governor Futrell III lue dlUeIIOOu anu WILL Jllc dlu of a map showed him all the weak places in the levee, and urged as sistance. After the conference | Acting Governor Futrell sent a mes sage to the war department re- questing permission to use tents now in possession of the Arkansas National Guard to give shelter to flood sufferers in the eastern part of Jhe state.
 While he was settling this ques- ton. Attorney General Moose also informed the penitentiary commis- sion that while the law required the working of all convicts on the state farm, the act did not contemplate that the protection of state prop erty was to be withdrawn, and he did not consider it illegal for the commission to work a number of the convicts at the state heating and lighting plant, and to do janitor service at the state capitol.

PROHI BILL MAY NOT BE EFFECTIVE
So Claim Leaders of Liquor Forces Say Emergency Clause in Bill Is Not EfRectiVe-Warm
 Fight Predicted.

Little Rock, March 2S.-Unless there is contrary ruling by the courts, saoolns in the wet counties in Arkansas will be doing business the same as ever after January 1, 1914. Many of the most prominent attorneys of Arkansas have ren- dered opinions for the leaders of the liquor forces, declaring the emergency clause which usually makes all bills passed which have it attached effective immediately after being signed, to be non-actiVe on Senate Bill No. 1lS, because in the body of the bill it is specifically stated that the bill is not effective until December 3l, 1913. The emer- gency clause was placed on the bill to prevent the circulation of a pe- tition to refer the bill'to the people, and if it can be knocked off in the courts, the liquor men, by getting a petition with about 10000 names, can have the bill voted upon at the next general election. The courts will have the pleasure of passing upon the matter anyway.
 Should the courts decide the emergency clause non-active in this bill, the liquor men state they can get the required number of names on the petition in three days. The bill would not then go into effect on December 3l, and the present local option condition would not be disturbed until after the general election in September, 1914 With such a delay the fight for and against the bill would be a warm lone, and the anti-prohibitionists claim they will win out before the people by a larger majority than they did in the last election wher statewide prohibition was defeat ed

LIBERTY THROUGH A SEWER.
Chicago Motor Bandit Escapes From
 Prison by His FavOrite Method.


 Leavenworth, Kas., March 30.- Clyde Stratton, known as the Chi cago motor bandit" escaped from the federal prison today by crawl ing through a sewer. Two other prisoners who attempted to escape with him gave up the struggle after being almost overcome by gas.
 An immediate search was made and one of the storm sewer openings was found to be uncovered. John Hughes and Frank Fernsdorf, the prisoners who gave up the attempt to escape, were found standing in two feet of slime, very anxious to get out.
 Investigation showed that Strat- ton and his confederates, after leaving the doctors office, went directly to the sewer manhole, re- moved the cover and dropped into the pit, a fall of fully 15 feet. The main sewer leading from the man. hole was protected by 1-inch steel bars. The prisoners evidently had hack saws, for two of the bars were sawed off and wrenched out to per init exit into the main sewer.
 The sewer tapers from about 2l inches to 15 inches in diameter. and is continually full of sewer gas and live steam. besides water and filth. Fernsdorf and Hughes admit they tried to follow Stratton, but had to give it up.
 Stratton's tracks were found at the mouth of the sewer and he was followed by his footprints to the woods west of the prison.
 While in the Cook county jail at Chicago Stratton almost escaped and it was found from his record that he had twice escaped from the state prison at Columbus, O., while serv- ing sentences, once in October, 1911, and again in October, 1912, each time by crawling through a seven
