SEVEN DEAD IN
PRISON MUTINY
COnvicts Pay for DashtO Escape
With Their Lives.

Girl Telephone Operator Used BY
the Mutineers To Prevent
Guards From Firing
on Them.
FORMER .. S. JUDGE SLAIN.

McAlester, Okla.-Seven men were
shot to death and three persons were
wounded when three convicts attempt
ed to escape from the State peniten
tiary and were slain by guards.
One Of the men murdered by the
conVicts In their mad dash for liberty
was John R. Thomas, of Muskogee,
formerly United States district Judge
and once Congressman from Illinois.
Despite the commotion caused by
the three men In trying to shoot down
everyone VINO came in their way, no
general attempt was made by other
iconviets to join in the delivery, though
the three mutineers were encouraged
by their less desperate fellows, who
cheered the onslaught of the armed
prisoners.
So rapidly did the three conviets
shoot down those in their path that
they reached the prison gate before
the guards could return their fire.
The desperadoes had taken the keys
from the turnkey, John Martin, whom
they had wounded, and had sheltered
themselves through the prison yard by
holding Mary Foster, a telephone
operator, in front of them until the
only shot fired by the guards in the
yard hit the girl in the leg.
Fought To the Last.
Outside the gate the men seized the
horse and buggy of Warden Dick and
dashed away, only to be shot dead by
pursuing guards. One convict fought
to the last and, while his companions
crouched low and whipped the stolen
horse into a gallop, fired his remain
ing cartridge at the oncoming guards,
who poured in deadly fire from
horseback.
Even after the three escaped men
lay dead in the careening buggy the
frightened horse Of the warden dashed
onward until felled by a bullet from
the pursuers.
The Dead and Wounded.
The dead are:
John R. Thomas, Muskogee, formerly
United States District Judge.
II. H. Drover, superintendent of the
prison Bertillon Department.
Patrick Oates, assistant deputy war
den.
F. c. Godfrey, guard.

years for larceny.

To Put on Flesh

Most thin people eat from four to
six pounds OF good solid fat-making
food every day and still do not in

chunky folks eat very lightly and
keep gaining all the time. It's all
bosh to say that this is the nature of
the individual. 1t isn't Natures way
at ALL
Thin folks stay thin because their
powers of assimilation are defective.

producing elements of their food Just
stay in the intestines until they pass
from the body as waste. What such
people need is something that will
prepare these fatty food elements SO
that their blood can absorb them and

something, too, that will multiply

For such a condition l always
recommend eating a Sargol tablet

HUNDREDS CROWD
AUTOMOBILE SHOW
Growing Interest in Motor.
Driven Vehicles Is Shown.
License Protest Planned.

In spite of the snow that eddied and
swirled through the streets last night
a record-brealSing crowd attended the
'aventh annual Newark Automobile
Show. The big First Regiment Ar
lmory in Jay street was crowded to
Jthe doors from the beginning in the
/ early afternoon.
The officials were made glad with
the knowledge that the paid attend
ance was much greater than in the
previous shows. Horace A. Bonnell,
the general manager declared that
this went to prove that the naturally
keen interest of the public in motor
driven vehicles is growing. People
are, therefore. more willing to pay
money for such an exhibition.
Tonight will be known as club
night at the show, and members of
automobile associations throughout
the northern section of the State have
been invited to attend. 1t is hoped
that more than 5000 will be present.
A special program has been prepared
for their entertainment by a COM
mittee. This consists of j. H. Wood,
George Blakeslee, George Eveland,
George d. Trayer, John B. Taft, F.
w. Durham, H. D. ogden, David
Cakes and Clarence B. Schuyler.
Motorists are deeply interested in a
circular being distributed at the show
by members of the legislative COM
mittee of the Associated Automobile
Clubs of New Jersey. These circu
lars ask for the aid of the public in
the defeat of certain bills now pend
ing in the Legislature and which
materially affect automobilists in the
State The circular reads as follows:
'The bill to tax all automobiles ap-
provimately 81 a horsepower will be
given a public hearing in the State
House. Trenton, Wednesday after
noon, February %, 1914.
IF you object to this form of ex-
cessive taxation it is important that,
regardless of club affiliation, you
make it a point to be present with
as many others as you influence and
show your legislators by force, of
number what you think of this meas
ure There will be addresses on the
subject by prominent motorists. There
was u time when the motorists of
the State showed their strength in a
procession that extended from the
station to the State House, and this is
necessary now.
at is understood that the COM
panion bill to remove automobiles
from local taxation as personal prop
erty will be lost, so now is the time
to show your .disapproval of this ex
cessive double taxation"
A large number of visitors to the
show have already signified their in
tention of visiting the State capital
tomorrow, and provisions are being
made for their transportation.
A special musical program is rem
dered each day of the show by, the
Boston Womens Orchestra under the
direction of Belle Yeaton enfrew. The
orchestra has the assistance of Miss
Nav Sutton, soprano.
