CAMP

A tale as remarkable as any
that ever graced the pages of fic-
ton was told to the police by W.
E. Lee, 20 years old, and Jack
Pollard, 25 years old, who were
arrested by Policeman Bell as
they stepped from a Decatur car
at Edgewood avenue and Pryor
street Friday morning, after es-
Gaping from a convict camp at
Lawrenceville, Gwinnett County,
and walking through the coun-
try to Decatur, where they
caught a car to Atlanta.
1--WE were not trying to run away"
they said I'VE were going back just
as soon as we accomplished our mis-
sion to Atlanta. We ran away from
the camp and came here to appear
before the Prison Commission and ask
for a transfer from Lawrenceville 10
another camp where we would get
better treatment
1--WE are willing to serve out our
sentences, but we would like to serve
them in some other convict camp
and under some other warden than
F. c. Davis, who has charge of the
Lawrenceville camp"
Police Seek Hearing for Them.
The police were impressed with the
stories of Pollard and Lee, and Cap
tain Poole consented to telephone
Chairman Davidson, of the Prison
Commission, and ask him to give the
conyicts an audience at police head
quarters, when they will place their
troubles before him.
Neither Lee nor Pollard makes any
charges of brutality or mistreatment
against Wraden Davis. 1t is the little
circumstances, the things that can
not be definitely classed as mistreat-
ment, that they claim makes life un-
bearable in the Lawrenceville camp.
There are twelve men in the Law
renceville camp" said Pollard, and
none of them likes Warden Davis and
none of them can get along with him.
He takes us out to work before sun
rise and doesn't bring us back to
camp until after dark-sometimes a
long while after dark. He's always
nagging at us, and there are hun
dreds of little things that happen that
make our lives there miserable. We
know we can't have everything we
want, being convicts but we think we
are entitled to almost a fair deal"
Lee and Pollard told the police
that they had worn the undershirts
they had on their backs for three
weeks, without having an opportunity
to have them washed.
Both Lons-Tsrm Men.
IT'S case either of wearing them
that long or wearing some wooden
things that scratch and torment us so
we can not work. And when we stop
work to scratch ourselves, the guards
get down on US and life is harder
than ever"
Pollard has served seven years of
a twenty-year sentence, having been
convicted in Clayton County for the
killing of a man named William
White. Lee was sentenced for life
for the killing of Jack Chappelle in
Coweta County and has served three
years and three months.
I'VE stood the Lawrenceville camp
as long as we could" said Pollard.
land then decided TO see II we
couldn't do something about It, Both
of us were TRUSTEES, and there wasn't
much difficulty in getting away. We
left the camp at o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and walked through the
country all night, reaching Decatur
early Friday morning. We didn't have
any intention of escaping, and had
made no effort to dispose of our con-
yct uniforms"

possible 100 points, which scoring is
about as. near perfection as it is pos

amount of Vermont maple sugar of a
lesser degree of excellence finds its way

CONVICT HAS DEADLY DEVICE
Lights Lamp, Rings Bell, ExpIodes
Dynamite at Distance

Salt Lake City-In the presence of
electrical experts, Federal officers and
detectives here was demonstrated what
was declared to be perhaps the most
remarkable death-dealing machine in
vented in recent years The invention
is the work of W. L. Cummings, %
years old, who confessed to Federal
and municipal officers when he was
arrested that he had threatened to use
it to destroy Miss Dorothy Bamberger,
wealthy society girl, unless she gave
him 800.
Electricians took the machine into
a steel and concrete vault in an Office
building. Another part of the con-
trivance, on which was mounted a bell
and an incandescent globe, was placed
in closed room across hall. Then
the electric current of the machine in
the alright vault was turned on. On
the unattached box in the other room
the bell rang and the lamp glowed
brightly.
In his acknowledged letter to Miss
Bamberger, Cummings sent diagram
of his invention, saying that he would
place suitcase of nitro-glycerine il
her room and explode it from dis
lance.
The demonstration, say the electri
cal experts, proves that he could hav'
accomplished this

NO AID FOR MEXICO
Position Of Strict Neutrality Taken
By United States.
Huerta Regime Can No Longer
Purchase War Material Here
May End Rebellion.

Washington, d. C.-President Will
son hss determined that no faction of
the Mexican revolution shall obtain
arms or ammunition from the United
States, and that neutrality must be
observed in its strictest sense.
This was the Interpretation of the
neutrality laws decided upon after
conferences with Senator Bacon and
Representative Flood, chairmen of the
two congressional committees on fore
ign relations.
While the Mexican rebels have been
getting no arms heretofore, this means
that the Huerta administration will be
deprived of the privilege previously
given the former Madero government,
and the United States will treat all
sides alike in the present dispute
The situation was precipitated by
the recent complaints of the Constitu-
tionalists and their sympathizers in
this country that if the United States
did not actually assist the Huerta gov
eminent by selling it munitions of war
termination of hostilities would be
possible. Sentiment in favor of q
new policy grew in congress to such
an extent that canvass was made OF
the foreign relations committees il
both houses.
1t was found that there would be-
little objection TO repeating the join
resolution of March IA, 1912, giving
the President discretionary power t.
prohibit expectations of arms or mu
nitions of war to countries where do
nestle violence existed, but permit
ting him to allow the legally consti
tuted government of any country t.
buy war supplies as usual
Senator Bacon. however, reiterates
as he left the White House that tn
Huerta administration could not b
considered legitimate successor o
the Madero regime or legally con
stituted government.
