ROPE HELPS BANK
THIEF OUT OF JAIL
Mattress Was Torn Up to Make
It-Sheriff's Posse in Pur-
suit In Autos.

Altoona, Pa, April 12.-Frank {.
Hohl, alias Frank Wilson, the con-
fessed robber of the Union Bank OF
this city, who was confined IN the Hol-
lidaysburg jail awaiting sentence, wnlcfl
was to be pronounced tomorrow, es-
caped some time after l o'clock this
morning. An employee at the jail VINO
went on duty at $50 saw rope dang
ling from the roof to the sidewalk IN
the front of the Jail. and this led to an
investigation which disclosed Hohls
cell empty.
All furniture had been removed from
Hollis cell for greater security. Only
a mattress was allowed him, but this
proved enough. for he tore it up ana
made a rope which enabled him to
reach safety after crawling through
a little aperture in his cell that served
for q window.
A Waterman who patrolled the jail
yard all night neither saw nor heard
anything unusual and knew nothing or
the escape until the Jail employe dis
covered the prisoner was missing.
There was no watchman on duty inside
the Jail. 1t is thought Hohl received
outside assistance.
A railroad employe reported that he
saw a man answering Hohps descrip-
ton making, early this morning, for
the mountains in the southern end of
the county. and the sheriff and posse
started in pursuit in that direction in
automobiles.
Hohl entered the Union Bank, stu
ated in the heart of the business sec
ton Of the city, at midday on March
%, masked, and filed bag with near
ly $1,000 in bills, after driving the
cashier and paying teller from their
cages at the point Of revolver. He
then terrorized crowd OH the street
got away before anyone could seize
| him, disappearing in stolen taxicab.
He was captured in Salem, Ohio, where
| ne had taken his wife to her father s
| home.
Hohl was fully recognized as a des-
perate man. He made several attempts
TO escape while being conveyed here
by the detectives. In one case he
threw a cup OF hot coffee in the face
of his captor in a railroad restaurant
in Pittsburgh.
His confession Of the bank robbery
was said to have been instigated by
his desire to save his wife from being
accused as en- accomplce.

County Clerk Demands
Test of His Standing
as Party Leader.
ENDORSEMENT OF
BOSS" CHALLENGED
Nine Members of Tammany Ex-
ecutive Committee, He Says,
Hold State Jobs.

william F. Schneider, County Clerk,
who is one of the leaders OF the Demo-
cratic Association Of New York County.
does not think much Of the Endorsement
which Charles F. Murphy has said he re-
ceived from the Tammany executive COM
mittee when he offered to resign his lead
ership. Mr.. Schneider believes that
fsirer tsst and the only one by which he
can hope to be the recognized Democratic
leader OF this city would be for Murphy
to run for public Office; the United
States Senatorship, for instance.
The outcome OF such a contest, Mr..
Schneider maintains, would be the only
fair test OF the political standing OF the
boss OF Tammany Hall.
III in a contest like that, Mr.. Murphy
wins" said Mr.. Schneider. 1T will mean
an Endorsement by his party, and then all
Democrats should recognize his leader
ship, but until he does run for some pub
lie Office (Which he has never done) and
IS Endorsed by his party, every Democrat
has the right TO challenge his assumed
leadership"
The County Clerk went over the list OF
the Tammany executive committee, who
Endorsed his leadership. Nine Of these, he
said. hold Jobs under State Controller
Sohmer. who, like his first deputy. Walsh
is a strong Murphy man. Among the
other leaders enjoying the patronage OF
Murphy and some Of his "indorsers' are
Charles w. Culltin and John F. Curry,
who enjoy lucrative jobs in bureau or
the Surrogates Court Then there Is

fayors from the boss. former Sheriff

official billets and dependent on Murphy.
OF the thirty-one Tammany leaders in
Manhattan. Mr.. Schneider figured out,
twenty-seven hold jobs by the grace OF
the man whom they Endorsed as leader.
Last fall" said Mr.. Schneider, "out OF
$4,000 enrolled Democrats in the City of
New York, his city ticket received only
$4,000 votes. showing that at least 1l5,WO
enrolled Democrats repudiated Mr.. Mur-
phys nominations.

The brakes then had been applied,
but the momentum of the train drove
it along several hundred feet further.
When the locomotives left the rails
they veered to the right and ploughed
along the side Of the tracks against n
slight sand embankment. Before Il
stopped the forward engine hit another
steel upright and snapped 1T off, caus-
ing the bridge over the tracks to sag
and broken electric wires TO fall sput-
tering across the rails.
The nose of the engine stopped buried
several feet in the sand bank. Despite
its violent contact with stone and steel
the engine was but slightly denied.
The glass in the front was shattered,
but no other windows in the train were
broken.
Men, women and children in the cars
were thrown in panic when the cars
left the rails and rocked from side to
side. AS soon as the shock was over
the passengers ruSne0 from the cars
and gathered in groups out Of range Of
the fallen wires.
At first it was feared that several
dead or injured passengers were in the
forward cars. Preparations were made
to carry them TO the Osburn Memorial
Home for Old Ladies. a half a mile
distant. Smith Warner, the conductor,
and the train crew accounted for every
passenger however. and word was sent
to Stamford that no medical assistance
was needed.
A special train was made up at Port
Chester and backed down to the wreck.
The baggage had been taken from the
train and with several bags of mail was
piled along the tracks. All was loaded
on the special train and taken to New
Haven, to be forwarded 10 their desti-
nation from there.
The wreck of Saturday occurred at
Newington, Conn, when the rails
spread. The fireman of the locomotive
was killed and several passengers were
injured.
