| US. Senator Thomas
The Man That Woodrow Wilson
wants Elected.

Do you believe in the Wilson
policies?
Do you know what happened
at Denver when the Democrats
held their state assembly?
Then we'll tell you. Wilson
sent a message through Bryan
that he didn't want Sen. Chas.
Thomas opposed III the primary.
President Wilson has certain
hackers in congressman of
the same faith, same high ideals,
same desire for fair play, same
feeling for and understanding
of the working classes and the
people in general; and Sen. Chas.
Thomas, along with Shafroth,
is one of the most valued of
those he can bank on.
OF course every democrat in
the county, under the circum-
stances, will vote for Thomas;
aud every republican who has
an under-current feeling for
Wilson and his policies, ought to

ESCAPES CAPTORS
FOR THIRD TIME
Elusive Tombs Prisoner Slips
Handouts on Way to
Courtroom.

Peter Madden. of All East Goth st.,
made his third escape yesterday since
he was taken into custody on June 20
on a charge of robbery. This time he
slipped the handouts that held him TO
John Ryan while the pair, with ten
other prisoners, were being taken from
the Tombs to the Criminal Courts
Building for trial. The police we're
still searching for the fugitive at late
hour last night.
Because of the eleven other prisoners
in their charge, the two prison guards
could not follow Madden. There was
no policeman on hand to give chase to
the fleeing man as he ran downstairs.
Madden and Ryan we're indicted on a
charge of robbing William Beard Of a
pocketbook that contained 81. The day
after his arrest he walked out OF the
Yorkvile Court, where he was taken
for arraignment. He went down to the
District Attorneys Office, where he
complained that he was being framed
up." He was returned to court and
held for examination. On the follow
ing day Madden climbed the bars OF his
cell and succeeded in making his escape
by walking along the ledge above the
row of cells and dropping 70 the street
from a small window. In this instance
he was pursued and captured.
Sheriff Grifenhsgen has always OBJ
ected to the arrangements for the
transfer of the prisoners at the Tombs.
Coming into the court building at the
southern end of the building, it is
necessary to take the men across an
open hallway. In the first month Of his
administration the Sheriff pointed out
the danger to Borough President Marks
and suggested the placing Of sliding
gates to shut of the stairways. The
matter was submitted to the Suprin-
tendent Of Public Buildings, but no &C
ton was taken on the suggestion.
Ryan was srrsigned before Judge
Swami yesterday and changed his plea
of not guilty to one Of guilty. He was
sentenced to one year in the penitenti-
airy.

N0TARIES RECEIVE BLOW
School Principals to Get Vital
Statistics of Pupils.

Steps to prevent notaries public from
preying upon parents of Brownsville
school children on the opening days of
school were taken yesterday. Hereto
fore the uotaries have supplied state
ments of the birth, age and nationality
of children entering school Ut q charge
Of 20 cents. That saved the mothers
the necessity of applying to the Bureau
of Vital Statistics in Manhattan, but in
many instances the statements issued
were fraudulent.
Yesterday District Superintendent
Charles ". Lyon, in charge of Districts
80 and 40 Of the public schools, and
several citizens of the Brownsville dis
trict issued an order to school princi-
pals to the effect that they themselves
were to attend to the securing wher-
ever possible of birth certificates Of
children entering the schools for the
first time.
The announcement was blow to the
notaries, many of whom had taken
temporary Offices near the schools. So
keen has the competition been this
year for the business of securing the
certificates that in some instances
charges for the service have fallen
from a quarter 10 20 and 10 cents.

TAIL BOAST TRAPS
ALIM0NY DEBTOR
Joyously Quits Cell To Be Re-
arrested on Wife'S Fear
He'd Go West.

"Goodby, boys!" joyously shouted
Paul Levine yesterday as he picked up
his suitcase and started for the door
leading out Of Ludlow st. Jail, where
he had spent three months for non
payment of alimony to Mrs. Molly Lee
vine, who is suing him for separa-
ton. Levine, who is clothing manu-
facturer, owed his wife $3.50 in ali
mony arrears. By serving three months
IN Jail he purged himself Of contempt
Of court for his failure TO obey the ali
uony order.
Yesterday was the big day for lie
vine. He had been preparing for it for
several days. In fact, the last -"
hours of his three months term were
becoming somewhat trying for his icl-
low alimoncrs, as he twitted them
about their unfortunate lot.
"I'll come to see you once in while,
said Levine. Also he offered magnan-
imously, "If ] can do anything for you
outside, let me know"
At sunrise yesterday Levine was up
and ready to go forth free man.
When the hour for his discharge came
he bid Warden Rock a cordial farewell.
Smilingly Levine passed through the
iron gate into the Jail corridor. Out
side a dark, stout man approached tine
happy Levine, and said. "You are IN
der arrest"
Levine then recalled having seen tie

He was Deputy Sheriff Louis Zeltner,
who had arrested him the first time.
What now?" asked Levine. IAN order

the clothing manufacturer back into

Levine, again in Jail, read an affidavit

got out he would 90 West, thus pro

DYING AFER FIRE
DESTROYS HONE
Woman Found Near Ruins with
Bullet Wound in
Body.

Morristowu, y. j., Sept lo.-After
her home had been destroyed by fire
of mysterious origin, Miss Theresa
Nicholson, sister OF John J. Nicholson,
e-president of the Murphy Varnish
Company, of Newark, was found near
a tree at the rear Of the burned prop
crty with a bullet in her body. She
was in weakened condition from loss
Of blood, and at first denied she had
been shot. She is in the Memorial
Hospital, with n slight chance of re.
covcry.
James Dunn and James Waldo, the
latter of Albany, employed on the
Nicholson place, we're burned about the
face and arms while trying to check
the flames. It 10 believed that the
sight of the destruction of her home
drove Miss Nicholson out of her mind.
In her frenzy the woman called her
pet dog to her side and shot it dead,
at the same time telling the servants
that as the dog would no longer have
u home she would rather see it dead
than fall into other hands.

.HINMAN WORKERS
FOR 1900 DISTRICTS
Whitman Men Challenged
to Name 8 Counties
Claimed for Him.

Managers of the campaign of HaT-
vey D. Human for the Republican
nomination for Governor say they have
organizations in 1000 election districts
in the state and within few days will
have them all covered. There are to be
ut least four Hinmsn workers in each
district, each of whom will be pledged
to get at least twenty-five votes for
Human.
Speaking of the thirty-one counties
in which the Human men are said TO
have q majority of the organization
leaders with them, John B. Rose said
yesterday:
1--WE challenge the Whitman people
to name more than eight counties that
are for their candidate"
Members Of the Human flying squad
ron have organized the Hinman Repub-
lican Club, of New York. Charles Z.
Hughes, jr., son of the former Gov
ernor, has been elected president.
Ralph Sanger is secretary.

Job L. Hedges last night. 81 have been

able result of the primaries. Men will
vote az they choose. They have ca
tended the courtesy of their names TO

there will not be large vote at the
primaries.
Frederick c. Greiner, leader Of Erie
County, is in the city with Frank 5.
Subway, the Erie candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor.
"The organization in our county ia
for Whitman" said Mr.. Greiner. There
is no doubt, however, that some OF
those who were identified with the citi-
zcns' movement in Buffalo year ago
may vent their resentment against Mr..
Whitman's speaking against their can

other candidate for Governor this
