thus gained.
OF tools with which to begin cutting
the cement floor they had only two

secured from the dining-room. These
were soon converted into saws, by strik-

poker.

the plan, and approved II.
The work of cutting the floor began
in Capt Hines cell on November 2. On
the first day only a light scoring was
made in the floor. around a space four

NEW CITIZENS BODY
FORMED AT MEETING
Residents Of Langdon and Woodbridge
Take Action After Trouble
Over School Site.

Thanksgiving Day saw the birth of a
new citizens association. The name
adopted at yesterdays meeting at the
home of F. A. Linger. $40 Twenty-sixth
street northeast, was the Langdon-Wood-
ridge Citizens Association. A feature Of
the new association will be the member
ship of women and their active participa-
ton in its affairs.
The new organization is formed of
seeding members of the Rhode Island
Avenue Suburban Citizens Association,
and is the outgrowth Of a meeting of the
latter organization Tuesday night, when
action was taken at the request OF the
District Commissioners on the matter OF
the proposed Eighteenth street school
site.
Although considerable opposition de-
veloped to this site, it being held by
citizens Of Langdon and Woodbridge that
1t was too far removed from their COM
munities, the site was approved. 1t was
asserted during the debate that the ap-
preparation law providing $1,000 for the
purchase of the site specifically states
that the new school will be for the ac-
commodation Of Langdon and Wood

Gen. Morgan by Gen. A. Z. Burnside,
commanding the department of Ohio,
he had been taken speedily to Colurubus.
There he found himself and his officers
placed in 4 wing of the prison apart
from the convicts. The prison rules were
far from rigorous. The prisoners of war
were required to remain in their cells
only at night. Throughout the day they
could rCam at will through the corridor.
Only at meals and bedtime were they
counted. They had stated periods of
exercise in the yard. They were allowed
to receive luxuries. clothing and news
papers from outside the walls. The
guards conversed with them freely, and
found entertainment in their stories and
songs.
All these circumstances had weight in
a plan of escape that was adopted in the
latter part of October. One of the Off

INSUR ANCE COMPANIES
FIGHTING Income TAX
ARKANSAS is BEING FLOODED
WITH LETTERS ASKING DE-
FEAT OF MEASURE.

Little Rock, April 29.-Life insur-
ance companies of other states are
flooding Arkansas with circular let
tiers to the policy holders requesting
them to send form letter to the con-
eressmen and senators who represent
this state in congress, urging them to
vote against the income tax section Of
the tariff bill. The circulars declare
the tax measure is economic folly.
The circulars call attention to the
fact that they will be taxed one per
cent of their net income if they are
conducted on the mutual plan. These
same companies object to the measure
because it exempts mutual fraternal
bodies, but does not exempt the mutu-
al regular insurance companies. The
companies do not call attention to the
small amount the policy holder IS
taxed under the measure, but takes
it for granted he should be against
the bill because it will cost millions
annually to the insurance companies,
even though the cost to him is but
few cents per annum.
