MOUNDSVILLE,W w. Va, Sept. 3d.
Two dashes for liberty from the State

after he made his break. Alexander

Shortly after noon Harry Howard, a
life prisoner who tried to burn the
village of Smithfield, w. Va, a few
years ago, broke from the line of pris-
oners on the way to the midday meal.
He succeeded in reaching the roof of
one of the buildings at a point where
he had secreted a rope with large
hook attached. Howard caught the
hooy on the bars of one of the win
dows and slid to the ground.
Guards gave chase and he was later
captured beneath a kitchen in the
residence section of the town.

down rope from a roof eighty feet

Childs was known as one of the
most desperate prisoners of the more
than a thousand in the institution.
Several times yesterday the guards
caught glimpses of him as he made
from one hiding place to another. and
every known avenue of escape was
thought to have been shut off.
Despite all precautions he succeeded
in getting out side the prison walls,
and at daybreak the fleeing prisoner
was seen about ten miles from the
prison. still wearing his prison

ton: Senator Candidate Reilly, of

taking an active part in the fighting

IONS. armed with hatchets. fought
heroically shoulder to shoulder with
their husbands, sons and brothers
during the street fighting at Dibra
on September %, when 1,200 Servians
were killed and 300 taken prisoners.
The town fell into the hands of the
Albanians and the prisoners were
sent under escort to Tirana. The
fighting in the vicinity of Dibra,
both before and after it's fall, was of
the most desperate character.
The women of the Greek race in
Southern Albania are also displaying
a very warlike spirit. At Karitza,
which is held by the Greeks, sixty
girls have formed themselves into a
company which is drilled by Greek
nom commissioned officers. The
women declare they would rather die
fighting than permit Koritza to be
incorporated in the state of Albania.

A DECISION Of
WIDE INTEREST
HANDED DOWN
Patented Articles Sold I'm
der Price Restrictions By
Manufacturers May Be
Re-Sold By Retailers Now
at Cut Rates.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, May 26.-Patented ar
ticles sold under price restrictions by
manufacturers may be re-sold by re-
tailers at cut rates. The supreme
court so held today in the case of a
newly patented nerve tonic. Safety
razors, talking machines and thou
sands of other patented articles are af-
fected by the decision.
The courts Lewiston was five to four
with Justices McKenna, Holmes, Lur-
ton and Vandevanter dissenting.
Justice Day announced the majority
opinion which held that while the pat
ent law gave the owner exclusive right
to ''vend" articles that was not the
same as a right Ito keep ZIP the price
That, the court held, was not granted
ed by the patent law.
Many manufacturers had joined the
manufacturer of nerve tonic in his
fight to sustain the contention that
his patent gave him a right to sell or
use his patented article under any con-
ditfons as to resale price he might see
fit to impose. All decisions in the low
er courts with the exception of one
have been in favor of the manufac-
turers.
Justice Day. in his decision. "distin-
guished' the famous "mimeograph
case of more than a year ago from
the case today, but many lawyers who
heard the decision regarded the term
as judicial phrase for practically
reversing that case. That point may
be determined in some future action.
Officials of the department of justice
regard the decision of tremendous i'm
portance. putting an end to existing
widespread extensions of patent mon
opolies, and sharply drawing a line of
demarkation between the Sherman
antitrust law and the patent laws.
Under the cloak of the legal monop-
oily granted by the patent laws, many
it is contended, control the
price of patented articles to the ulti-
mate consumer. The department. of
Justice has contended that once a pat
entee sells his patented article, he
loses all control of it and is power
less, especially in view of the Sher-
man antitrust law, TO establish resale
prices.
Several antitrust suits now in the
courts are based upon this principle
and the department of justice has been
eagerly awaiting a determination of
the question before starting more |
on the same theory. 1t is !
said that the right to establish resale !
prices is being claimed by an almost !
unlimited number of companies which |
are now expected to avoid attack by |
the government. |

ticket at Jacksonville for New Orleans
yesterday morning and started for q
ride over the P. g. A division. He is
now in Jail at Milton, where he was
placed for safe keeping and possibly
spent an uncomfortable night.
Passengers reaching the city last
night at 10 o'clock told of the occur
renee. The negro enjoyed his ride in
the Pullman. it seems, until after he
had passed Tallahassee. Then word
got out that he was aboard and at each
succeeding station larger crowds would
meet the train. This at first excited
the curiosity of the negro, but before
the train reached Chipiey he decided
that more comfortable seats could be
found in the colored coach. The desire
to mingle with those of his own race
possibly was brought about by some
one whispering something to him, for
when a crowd at Chiplsy entered the
Pullman the negro could not be found.
Another crowd had gathered at De-
F,uniak, but 1t too was disappointed.
