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
every one who came in their way, no
general attempt was made by other
convicts to join in the delivery.
The three mutineers were encOurag-
ed by their less desperate fellows, who
cheered the onslaught of the armed
prisoners. So rapidly did the three
convicts shoot down those in their
path that they reached the prison gate
before the guards could return. their
fire.
Use Girl as Shield.
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, telephone Gper!
ator, in front Of them until the. only
shot fired by guards in the yard hit
the girl in the leg. Outside the gate
the men seized the horse and buggy
of Warden Dick and dashed away,
only to be shot to death by pursuing
guards. One Of the conyicts fought to
the last, their stolen horse lashed tc
a gallop by the other two. They fired
their last cartridge at the oncoming
guards, who poured in deadly fire
from horseback.
How the men obtained the weapons
and planned the escape has not been
discovered, but rigid inquiry will be
begun soon.

Honor convicts Do Good Work.

Dixon, 1ll.-Honor convicts from the
Joliet penitentiary, who without guards
have been making roads for nearly
five months, have broken camp and
returned to their prison cells. Fifteen
OF the original thirty-five men who
were sent to Camp Hope" on their
honor not to escape have been pardon

his promise and he was returned to
prison. The work accomplished has
been highly satisfactory, according to
the county commissioners.

Montgomery.-Van Miller, of Carson,
shot himself through the right temple

can be had. As much as 500. 900 may
be invested in this factory.
Need Of Factory Pointed Out.
The need OF condensing factory IL
pointed out in the fact that Boise alone
ships in thousands of dollars worth Of
condensed milk each year which might
easily be produced at home. And the
probability OF soon reaching the output
required for the establishment Of the
factory. is indicated by the success of
the new cheese factory at Meridian. It
had been assumed that less than 5000
pounds OF milk per day would be re-
ceived at the cheese factory for the
first six months or even the first year,
but already over 1000 pounds per day
is coming in. and 1t looks as though the
capacity Of the factory would have to
be increased beyond tho 10000 mark
before the end Of the year. When
ranch owners can borrow money at 8
per cent to invest In dairy cattle, and
buy those cattle at home, with milk
tests guaranteeing their producing
quality. the growth Of the dairy indus
try will be marvellous. Mr.. Atwater
thinks the possibility is a very present
probability, even to tho big new fac
tory.

PLAN TO HANDLE
DAIRY PRODUCTS
OF BOISE VALLEY
Capital to Be Provided for
Loans to Farmers and for
Building Of Condensing
Factory.

George E. Atwater of Meridian, the
Boise valley land man, is working on
plans that will mean hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in dairy products in
the valley. Within a few months he
hopes to have ample capital at the dis
posal of farmers for the purchase OF
dairy stock, thoroughbred dairy cattle
for sale to dairymen, and new con-
densing factory to use the milk pro-
duced.
Mr.. Atwater was in Boise today and
said there are private capitalists who
believe SO strongly in the dairying
prospects of the Boise valley that they
are willing to place from 100000 to
100000 in local banks to be loaned to
farmers for the purchase of cattle, TAX
ing as security second mortgages, and
allowing the loans to be repaid from
one half the income the farmers realize
from the cattle. He also knows a deal

believes, and has been assured by a
large eastern manufacturing concern
that such a factory will be established

Eleanora of Bulgaria Will Be First Reigning Wo- man of Her Rank to be a Guest at the National Capital
COMES TO STUDY
 ABOUT CHARITY
Pleasures Are Over shadowed By Visits to Hospitals and Other Places Where Problems of Poor Are Solved
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1

NEW YORK, April 12.-Plans for the announced visit of Queen Eleanora of Bulgaria to the United States will be laid before the state department in Washington on Tuesday by William Caspar representative of the queen, who arrived in the city last Thursday. and Clayton Rockhill, recently ap- pointed consul general to Bulgaria in New York.
 Arrangements for the queens jour ney to the cities now included in the itinerary are being rapidly arranged Interest in the visit is attested by mes sages from all parts of the country.
 President Wilson, who has expressed his extreme distaste for the formalities and ceremonies that are necessarily a part of his daily life, seems destined by the irony of fate to be the first occu- pant of the White House to be called upon to entertain a reigning queen.
 It will not be the first time that the anointed of the Lord have visited the United States. Most memorable of all the visits of royalty was that of the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII. The grand duke of Oldenburg, a reigning sovereign. paid a visit to this country many years ago. Dom Pedro of Brazil; Prince Henry of Prussia, brother of the German emperor; the Duke of Connaught. uncle of King Ed ward; several Russian grand dukes. the Infanta Eulalia of Spain. and nu- merous other representatives of royal ty have been here from time to time. Even CZar Ferdinand of Bulgaria, the consort of Queen Eleanor, has been a visitor to the United States. But Queen Eleanor will have the distinction of be- ing the first reigning sovereign who ever stepped foot in this country.
 The visit of Queen Eleanor is not to be visit of state, nor is she coming to be entertained by the social lights of New York and Newport. The primary purposeOf her visit is to inspect the hospitals and kindred charitablt insti- tutions in this country. These are mat ters in which the interests of her whole life have been centered While in this city she will confer with the officials of the Red Cross society. Not only is her majesty intimately acquainted with Red Cross work but she is an expert nurse, with years of practical experi- ence.

cARRANZA TO MEET VILLA

FL PASO, April 12.-Much improve ment in the foreign relation of the constitutionalists' provisional govern ment, it is hoped, will result from the meeting which it is promised will take place in Chihuahua this week between CarranZa and Villa. Representations of q most vigorous nature have fairly been pouring upon Carranza from Washington since the expulsion of the Spaniards from Torreon and the an- nouncement of the rebel purpose to continue this policy
 Carranza, its said, has made no di- rect reply to several of these represen- tations, and today it is said the state department has insisted that definite written replies be returned. The ques- tions involved deal with the expulsion of the Spaniards, the confiscation of property, and the right of the United States todeal directly with CarranZa in behalf of other nations.
 Many among Carranza's advisers ex- pressed the opinion today that Ysidro Fabela, acting foreign minister, was ill., advised in issuing a public statement quoting Carranza as exulting over the visit of British Consul Myles and pointing out that similar actions by

Make Last AppeaI

ALBANY, April 12-The last faint glimmer of hope that a reprieve might be granted the four New York gunmen passed today In the executive cham Der of the deserted capitol Governor Glynn heard the final appeals of the attorneys for the convicted slayers for stay of the death sentence, and then he for the last time refused to interfere in the executions. The attorneys pleaded for two hours. All appeals to his sympathies were disregarded. Only the new evidence placed before Justice Golf in New York yesterday was pre- sented.
 "Gentlemen. am sorry. but I cannot see my way clear to change my decis- ion" the governor, a trifle nervous, but with a firm voice, said.
 When the governor heard the report that the mother and sister of ''Dago Frank" were coming to see him, he re- fused to grant them an audience.
 He decided several days ago not to talk further with any relatives of the condemned men.
