SAYS PREMIER.

PARIS, May 4.--Prime Minister
Barthou, in accordance with the Gus
tom Of announcing the programme OF
the ministry before the re-opening OF
parliament, which will be on Tuesday.
in an address today, dwelt chiefly on
the three years military service as the
most pressing necessity Of the hour.
He announced that the government
had decided to keep 10 the colors the
class which would normally be freed
on October LIST. This will allow the
government to retain some zoo, 600
men for n third year.
The law of 1905. which instituted
the two years service, allows the min
istry to act in this manner, but COM
pels them to report their action to
the chamber of deputies. where 1t will
undoubtedly occasion debate,
Premier Barthou praised the dip
lomacy which. although it had been
disconnected by the rupture OF the
old equilibrium on account OF the
Balkan embroglio. had maintained
the union of the powers. This great
country" he said, desires peace. but
only peace that is consistent with
our pride and dgnity--not the
peace born of fear"

gression. Military matters had

take into account what other nations
were doing. at is not question of

a question of self-defense. 1t was
I the sole remedy for Frances fnferi-

press the income tax through the
senate. leaving the question OF cleo

WE'RE TO HAVE BEEN BROUGHT

PENITENTIARY TODAY.

Especial to The Richmond Virginian)
NORFOLK, VA, May 4.-Sawing
the bars from corridor window, and
using blankets to make a rope, ten
negro prisoners. five of whom were
to have been taken to the peniten-
tiary Monday. made their escape
from the Norfolk county Jail in Ports
mouth early this morning.
Up to tonight none had been re-
captured.
Henry Boiling. a ''trusty." escaped
and assisted the others. That the de-
livery was carefully planned with
Bolling's connivance was apparent
from the fact that the locks of the
cell doors had been tempered with
so that they would not fasten as
usual. Those who escaped were
George Parker, S. w. Collins. and
Sol. Baker, under sentence of five
years each. William Peace and Will
liam Owens, one year: William Morse.
two years: John Broomskill. six
months; Henry Boiling, four months.

radium- bearing minerals has been
found in small quantities in Connecti-
cut and in the feldspar quarries of
North Carolina. Practically the total
American output has come from the
mines in Quartz Hill. Gilpin county,
Colorado.
Practically every ton OF carnotite
mined in 1912 went abroad and as the
American deposits are far from being
inexhaustible, we are rapidly depict
ing our own reserve and are shipping
from this country material of great
value and OF unknown possibilities
which cannot be replaced. The value
OF the radium In this ore at the mini
mum market price would be $52S.000.
The figures given show very
plainly that the United States has
taken the palm from Austria as the
tTadium producing country of the
world. Very few people have been cog
infant of the fact that the United
States has such deposits within her
/ borders. Up to the present time one

and refining OF radium in this coun-

Bull Dogs Must
Restrict Cats
to Hobble Skirt

PHILADELPHIA, PA, May A.
The tight skirt will be put to the
acid test in this city next Saturday
when the Amber Kennel club holds
its annual bench show. One of the
features of the exhibition Is that wo-
men will be called upon to show
their dogs while walking, and a
handsome trophy has been offered
for the woman who makes the best
time in hree-hundred-yard dash,
or saunter with her dog on leash.
Women with bull dogs OF all the
favorite breeds from the Boston bull
to the English species. with the UNI
dershot and Notwithstanding jaw,
have entered the contest, and the
judges are pondering whether they
will be able to do Justice to all the
fair competitors. These dogs are all
fast walkers. and the ability Of the
contestants to keep in the race will
depend on their prowess in restrain
ing undue activity on the part of the
CANNES. Whether the BUN dogs,
which are noted for their independ-
ence of spirit. will be willing to con-
form to the mincing gait OF the hob
Bile skirt walker. is q mOoted ques-
ton. Some OF those who have en-
tered have admitted that they can
not possibly take very long steps.
while the more pessimistic are fear
ful that there win be rippings and

test Is well under way.
