Four prisoners in the Morris coun-

committed from Dover and who plead
ed guilty in special sessions yester-

Arthur Kinsly, committed from Dover

Keeper Carroll was at supper when
he was called on the telephone by
the Morristown police and was told
of the escape, some residents of Wes-
tern avenue near the Jail having seen
the men drop from the roof and tele-
phoned police headquarters. A posse
set after the four men who ran up
Western avenue and are belivd to
have taken to the woods Of Fort Non

The thirty-four prisoners remaining
in the jail profess to know nothing

Many are preparing for a summer
outing, and more especially are the
mothers planning changes for the
health benefit of their little ones.
VIII it appeal to some of them to
know that there is a movement on
foot in Morristown to provide a dis
trict nurse, at least for July and
August, who will endeavor to reduce
the mortality among a certain class
of children who must remain here
under very trying conditions? A dis
trict nurse cannot supply the healing
tonic in sea-breezes and high attitudes,
but she can visit where she is 1ieeded
and teach hygiene and proper diet
for these children and thus prevent
many little graves and much heart
ache. Our best known philanthropic
ladies are behind this venture, repre-
senting the new board of Associated
Charities, otherwise known as Morris
town Bureau of Social service. The
following names compose the board:
Mrs. f. r. Kellogg, Miss Louise Keas-
bey, Mrs. Il. G. Bushnell, Mrs. p. b.
