CONVICT
IS CAUGHT
After Finishing Term Here Must
Serve One In Oregon, Then
Faces Federal Charge

Jack" Higgins an scaped convict,
from the Utah State Penitentiary,
was returned to the institution last
night after having been at large
since October 26, 1913, when he eff
fected his escape from the St. Jo-
seph convict camp. Higgins was APP
pretended in Little Rock, Ark, last
month. He was brought back to
Salt Lake yesterday by Deputy War
den A. c. Ure.
Higgins arrest in Little Rock was
the means Of duplicating him in the
robbery of Little Rock suburban
post office, the Little Rock police
told Warden Ure. Higgins was pick.
ed up on the street, being identified
by member of the Little Rock Pc.
lice department through circular
containing his photograph and de.
scription sent out by the Utah pris-
on officials. On his person, say the
Little Rock police, were found q
large quantity of postage stamps and
other evidence tending to connect
him with the postoflice robbery.
Higgins has yet to serve OIL his SEN
tence one year, three months and
nineteen days. This is his third
term in the Utah prison, and when
1t expires he will be turned over to
the Oregon authorities to finish out
term of five years there for bur-
glary. He escaped from the Oregon
penitentiary in October, 1912. He
has yet four years to serve there.
With the expiration of his term in
Oregon he will be turned over to the
government officials for trial on the
postofIice robbery charge. II found
guilty he may be imprisoned for from
five to ten years. Higgins Is now
about 80 years old. He faces impris-
onment, therefore for from ten to
fifteen years.
Higgins who was convicted Of bur.
glary in Emery county would have
been released last April in view Of
his prior good conduct.
He was regarded as a semitrusty
at the penitentiary and for some time
prior to his escape had been work
ing at the penitentiary farm. At the
convict camp his record had been
good and the guards and prison au-
thorities came to place every conf
dence in him.
On the morning of October 26,
about o'clock, Higgins made his sue
cessful break for freedom when a
guard, C. e. Murphy who had been
on duty at the edge of the camp
went to his tent to fix a fire. Higgins
took advantage of the opportunity
and sped through the camp and was
lost in the darkness. Murphy heard
the patter of the convict's feet and
gave the alarm, but under cover of
the darkness Higgins made good his
escape. A search was made for him
for several days.
A reward OF $50 for his apprehen'
sion goes to the Little Rock oficer
who picked him up.

FACING LAST
SESSION
Members Of Congress Are FIoeking
to Capital. Committees Get
Flying start on Various
supply Measure

Washington, Nov. 30.-With the
opening Of the final session of the
Sixty-third Congress but a week away
members Of both houses began flock
ing to Washington today from the
campaign and holiday recess.
On the House side the committee
on appropriations and naval affairs
committee spent busy day getting
flying start on the supply measures
for the session. Evidences of activ-
ity were apparent everywhere and
Democratic members generally
sounded as the keynote Of the ses-
sion the hope that all necessary bus
mess would be concluded by March
4, SO that an extra session to usher
in the newly elected Sixty-fourth Con-
gress before December would be I'M
necessary.
As to a definite legislative program
there has been no decision as yet,
but it is certain that several conser-
walton measures including the gener-
al water, river and land leasing bills
are to be pressed. Hearings on these
bills before the Senate public lands
commission already have been set
for December 8 and 16 respectively.
Senator Myers, chairman ~ the COM
mitee, said he expected the hearing
would be concluded within two weeks
and that the bills, with amendments
would be reported to the Senate early
in January.
Salary Increases Tabooed
A subcommittee Of the House ap-
propriations committee concluded
hearing on the legislative executive
and judicial appropriation bill, the
first of the big supply measures. Di-
rector of the Census Harris, Post
master General Burleson and Secre-
tary of Labor Wilson discussed esti-
mates for appropriations to be car
ried in the bill. The hearings on the
measures have developed a general
policy among cabinet officers against
asking for increased salaries to gov
eminent employees this year.
1T Is our general understanding"
said Secretary Wilson as he left the
committee, that no increases in sal
aries are to be asked for in any
branch of the government service I'M
der present conditions"
The legislative bill will be ready to
20 into the House from the commit
tee as soon as Cong Ess meets. The
District Of Columbia bill, which has
already been framed, will first be
presented.
More Men Needed In Navy
The need Of $40 additional officers
and about 1900 men fully to equip
all American warships Of actual mill
itary value was explained today to

Natal makes beautiful lawns

Natal makes beautiful lawns
try it on your yard.
Natal will not grow on rich
low lands.
Natal grows best on high pine
lands.
Natal produces from two to
three tons of hay per acre, OF
better quality than timothy.
Prepare seed bed from four to
six inches deep, we'll pulverized.
Get up before day, when there
is no wind, and sow it mixed
with slightly damp sand. Sow
three to five pounds to the acre.
Imported seed can be pur-
chased at ST per pound. We
recommend imported seed for
the purpose of this test. If you
cannot procure seed send cash
to this association and we will
forward you what you want at
ST. per pound.
There is division Of opinion as
to the best time of year to sow,
but we believe Oct. 8, or as near
that date as weather will permit
is proper.
If planted in October you may
get three cuttings the following
summer. To sow in the spring,
April or May you can only get
one time that year.
Natal reseeds itself, also
comes from the root. Natal will
crowd out sandspur and other
Objectionable grasses. Plow ma
tai under one time and it is de-
troyed, positively no danger OF
it taking the place.
A freeze will destroy it, but
frost will not. One field at
Gainesville has been constantly
producing hay since Ioo8-there
it is colder than here.

FLORIDA'S NEW FORAGE
CROP THE NATAL
GRASS.
(St. Petersburg independently

Natal grass, which is said to
solve the problems of stock rails
ing in this section of the state, is
to be planted by Sellers Bros,
dairymen, on their farm north
OF the city, as an experiment to
learn if the much-discussed grass
is all that it is said to be. Sell
lers Bros, agreed to make the
experiment at the solicitation Of
Hafford Jones, secretary of the
Tampa Merchants Association,
which is trying to introduce the
new grass in Hillsborough and
adjoining counties. Mr.. Jones
wrote to F. B. Duryea and ask
ed that one farmer be persuaded
to try the grass; he said one
only was needed, as the others
would plant the grass after they
see for themselves what it does.
Natal grass is said to be fine for
lawns, to crowd out sandspurs
and weeds. The following is a
copy of a circular on natal grass
that is being sent out by the
Tampa association:
Florida expends annually
more money for forage than the
value of the states entire citrus
crop.
This vast sum of money
should be kept in the state; and
there are numbers of valuable
grasses suited to Florida, with
high feeding value, which if
properly exploited, will solve the
forage problem, and save us
many millions annually.
Florida can be made one of the
greatest live stock producing
states in the union.
We realize fully that the
greatest obstacle in raising for
age for the market is the diff
Guilty of curing it to bright
color, but while our harvested
crop may lack color, the feeding
value is there, and it is the OBJ
ject of this association to en-
courage the growing, harvesting
and marketing our own forage
for home and foreign consump-
During the past two years the
Merchant Association of Tam
pa has been watching expert
ments with natal hay, has caused
many acres to be sown in the
state, with gratifying results,
and we believe we can now rec
ommend natal hay as the one
forage crop for the high pine
lands or light sandy soil of the
state, where other forage crops
will not prosper
Many acres have been sown in
this hay, on poor land, with no
fertilizer used, and good results
obtained, and as much as three
tons per acre produced, in three
Cuttings, per season.
Natal hay analizes 7 1-2 per
cent protein, as compared with 6
per cent for timothy; is of bright
color, as bright as timothy, and
we believe, if it can be demon
strated that it will do we'll in
large tracts on our light sandy
soils, that we can arrange a
proper method for curing it,
rain or shine, which will be sat.

Fertilizer is good for almost
anything. but for the purpose Of
this test we prefer that you dc
not use it. We are confident
that it will grow proftably on

each year, without the use Of
fertilizer.
Points in Brief:
Natal does not impoverish the
soil; it sends down tap root:

SIGNS IN A BUS
MESS WAY.

Three or four items of news
that have not figured on the
or three TO nttofa oss-
front page during the last day
or two are good deal more i'm
portant to us in a business sense
than the reports of desperate
battles in Belgium and France.
One was the statement publish
ed in a dispatch from Philadel-
phia that as result Of the rapid
| INCREASING foreign demand for
anthracite coal a number of col
lieries which were closed last
sprong are making preparations
for early resumption in Septem-
Der. Thousands of men who
have been out of work or on
half time are promised full time,
beginning on Labor Day. Or
ders for coal are pouring into
Pennsylvania from every part OF
the globe. The Belgian and
Russian coal fields are affected
by the war, which has also cur
tailed the activity of the Welsh
mines. Europe is calling for
our coal, just as she is call for
our wheat.
Another encouraging item
comes from Pittsburgh, which
reports that the steel companies
there are completing arrange
ments that are expected to de-
velop a tremendous amount OF
actual business out of the wide
inquiry for steel now steadily
coming to them from Europe,
South America and other coun-
tries. Within forty-eight hours
inquiries for semi-fnished steel,
totaling more than 100000 tons,
had been received from England
alone.
Another cheering not is
sounded in a New York dispatch
which points to the re-employ-
ment of large numbers of steve
dores and ship laborers, indicat-
ing the gradual return of normal
conditions in the commercial
field.
All these are rainbow signs
showing that the flood of bust.
ness disturbance is beginning to
abate. We are still short Of
ocean transportation, but we
have got the foreign demand, we
have got the goods to supply it,
and we have the money to get
the ships. Under the circum-
stances, it will be impossible to
bottle up our commerce much
longer. Its outward flow has
in fact, already been resumed to
some extent. But it will not be
long before it will be represent
ed by a great armada of peaceful
ships conveying to Europe and
South America the food and the
industrial products which they
can get nowhere else.-Balti.

KANKAKEE, H., Sept. 1S.--Five armed
robbers entered the home of Mrs Nellie
clark early today and escaped with money
and jewels valued at more than $4,000.
Armed posses in automobiles and blood
hounds are hunting the thieves.
The robbers bound and gagged the
housekeeper, Marjorie Miller. Mrs Clark,
hearing the noise, locked herself in a
room on the second floor. but the rob
bers entered the room, using skeleton
key. AS they came in Mrs. Clark offered
them $50, saying, This is all ! have"
The robbers took the money and ordered
her to open small iron safe standing
in the room. She refused, but when they
produced nitroglycerin and fuse to
blow it open she gave them the COM
bination.
While three robbers were emptying the
safe OF its contents, including diamond
rings, lavallieres, bracelets and pins. the
other two forced Mrs. Clark to give them
the diamond earrings she was wearing,
threatening to cut off her ears If she
did not comply. The earrings are worth
