PRISONERS BLUFF

Starts to Walk Out Gates. Telling
Warder He Was Organ
Repairer.

London, Feb. 7.-Daring that just failed
o. its object was shown by a prisoner at
Chelmsford prison in an attempt to es-
cape.
IA few minutes before midday a neatly
dressed man walked up to the warder
at the gates from inside the prison and
said:
II am going of now. I've finished re-
pairing the organ. My name is Griffin"
The warder looked in his record Of
visitors as a matter of precaution and
failed to find the name of Griffin. He
knew. however. that repairs were being
carried out in the organ, and telephoned
across to the Offices to ask IL Mr.. Grif-
fir had been admitted that morning.
Other warders came up and one Of
them recognized the man as one of the
prisoners. He had slipped behind the
buttress of an annex to the prison while
out for walking exercise There he was
out of sight of the warder on duty, and
after passing through the kitchen garden
he entered the probationer warders' quar-
tiers, which at that time of the morning
were unoccupied. He selected good
suit from among the warder's private
clothes and left his prison dress behind
him.

B, IDA Hustled HARPER.

THE sensation of the past week in regard TO the
i omnipresent question of woman suffrage has
been what is proclaimed proof OF emi-allianee
or attempted alliance, between the National Anti
suffrage Association and the liquor interests. The
place in this particular instance is Montana where
constitutional amendment to enfranchise women is to
be voted on next November Last fall, year be-
fore the election, the National Forum published in
Butte as the official organ of the State Liquor Deal
ers' Association said in leader: Regardless of what
some believe as suffrage and the liquor
traffic experience in States where it Is in force proves
beyond any doubt that the trade suffers less
on account of the vote. In the small towns
and agricultural counties the saloons have suffered
materially because of it, Then discussing the pend
ing amendment, it said: "The saloon men of Mon
tana have a splendid organization and an excellent
plan of campaign has been outlined in which every
member will take active part Most all the saloon
in the State lined up for united effort in be
half of their business and its protection from the
ravages of fanatics and despotic legislation"
Notwithstanding all this they must have outside
help against the danger of the suffrage amend
and so this editorial calls "the many outside
firms who supply the trade in Montana and should
render assistance in the struggle which is now on.
These firms enjoy profits from unrestricted trade
in this State and there is why they should
not help protect the traffic. Many of them have by
their assistance enabled the Montana Association to
keep the State in the front rank of the Commonwealth
enjoying beralify and freedom in business" But
this will be sufficient and the National Associa-
tons also called send money into the State
aNWettest State In the Union"
Montana certainly does stand 'in the front ranks
as far as unrestricted" liquor selling is concerned
and it is known "the wettest State in the Union
Last spring its Protective Association Qquor dealers)

with the business detailing the success it had had in

ing: The great question of suffrage will soon
be submitted to the electors and preparing
a Statewide campaign against it. Our local dealers
are doing all they can, but the burden too heavy
for them carry alone and it only fair that those
who enjoying profit from the sale of their goods
should help US in conserving their business"
Undoubtedly money from outside poured into their
treasury, it has into that of every State when a
woman suffrage amendment has been pending. Their
