Escape From Jail.

Escape From Jail.
Sheriff Middleton of Kinds county
Is Offering a reward Of 5000 for the
arrest and delivery of four white men,
who some time during the night sawed
and dug their way to liberty from the
county Jail and appear to have made
good their escape. The four men were
Paul Gilmore, the alleged leader of
the gang, who has escaped from Gus
tody on numerous occasions, and was
held to answer to an indictment
against him for horse stealing; Pearl
Coker, a young Jackson man, former
member of the city fire department
wanted for highway robbery; Claude
Allen, held on the same charge, and
Thomas Nicholson, an Englishman,
held to the grand jury for burglary in
v~estigation.
Sheriff Middleton and Jailer Rucker
are firmly Of the opinion that the four
men were fully a week in saving
through the steel cage bars, having re-
mo. ed just one of these bars, which
left an opening probably eight inches
wide by IL inches long. They had
been kept in what is known as the
condemned cell, which was considered
~invulnerable.
Once outside the cell, It evidently
did not take the men long to work an
opening through the masonry, and
after squeezing through to let them
selves to safety by means of impro-
vised ropes made from blankets.
Sheriff Middleton has sent out de-
scriptions of the men in every direc-
ton, with the offer of $50 for the re
capture of each individually.

Start Club.
Some time ago a movement was
started by E. C. McInnis, Thomas Owen
and G. N. Brumfeld, all ~ex-students
of the Mississippi Agricultural and
Mechanical College at Starkville, to
perfect plans for the organization OF
an association to he composed OF stu
dents and ex-students Of the institu-
ton.
The object of this organization Is to
be for the betterment Of conditions and
the future welfare and interest OF the
college. This movement Is gaining
prominence and is expected to be a
statewide organization in the near
future.
The first general meeting was held
at the Edwards House in Jackson, and
a large and enthusiastic body assem'
bled which will be doubtless turned
into a permanent organization with
standing committees working for the
good of the institution. The need Of
such a movemet has been generally
discussed for the past few years by
various A. & NJ. men, and 1t now seems
that these men are determined to get
together and lend their influence IN
behalf of the college.

SPECIAL to The Washington Herald.
Lake Mohonk, N. Y, May 2s.-Henry
B. F. mcfarland, of Washington, In a
speech before the international arbitra-
tion conference today, predicted that the
proposed International Court of Arbitral
Justice will be established with nine
members, one to be chosen from each of
nine big powers among them the United
States. He said. in part:
1T is possible to state positively, al
though impossible now to disclose my
authority, first. that recently a PROPOSE
tion has been made to start the court
with nine members, one chosen by each
of the great powers. the United States,
Great Britain, France. Germany. Austria
Hungary. Italy, Russia and Japan and
one by the Netherlands. the host of the
Hague conference and the selected host
OF the court itself; secondly, that this
proposition promises to be favorably
viewed by the nine governments men,
toned.
Naturally. since our own government
took the initiative in this matter as far
back as the first Hague conference, we
may assume it would cordially join in
such establishment Of the Supreme Court
of the World. Everything will then turn
upon the character Of the first judges
and their first judgments. II, as our own
Supreme Court under Marshall won the
confidence of the sovereign States Of
the Union, 1t shall command the respect
and regard of the sovereign states of
the world, we shall at last have an in
ternationai court through which justice
shall! bring peace by the judicial settle
ment of International disputes"

yesterdays session. Mr. Conant said that
while a wider field opened to American
banking the restriction that no bank shall
accept foreign bills to an amount In ex-
cess of one-half Of its paid up capital
ana surplus was deterring several insti-
tutions from seriously considering en-
trance into the new field.

National City Bank of New York, and
delegate from Chapter No. 8. of the New

of an international bank financed by
American manufacturers. He said that

STORIES OF THE WAR
French Athlete Applies Football
to War

BORDEAUX, Sept. 17.-French ath-
letes have been distinguishing them
selves on the fighting line. Two days
ago a notice appeared in The Official
Gazette which said that a corporal of
the name of Georges Andre, who was
mentioned in dispatches, had been
promoted to the grade of sergeant be-
fore members of his regiment and
had been recommended for a military
medal.
A newspaper suggested that this
might refer to Georges Andre, to
whom the French premier recently
alluded as an all-around athlete and
the best Rugby hree-quarter-b back
who was a contestant in the London
| Olympic games. From inquiries
| learned that this is indeed the case.
With six men he went into village
| to find rooms for officers. In the mar
ket place was large band of Ger
mans, who Immediately sat upon
the small French detachment Andrea
snatched a sabre from the German
nearest him and killed two men with
it. BY this time he saw that his COM
panions were dead or captured. He
grabbed a flag from a German and
putting 1t under his arm, raced
| through the village street as though
attempting ''try'' in Rugby football.
A number of Germans were following
at his heels After sprinting q quar-
ter of a mile he left his pursuers far
behind, and later he rejoined his regi-
ment with the flag, having been
lucky enough to escape any injury
from the hail Of bullets directed al
him.

Govt Places Troops to Prevent
Demonstrations Against Aus
tria and Germany.

ROME, Sept. 17.-Strong forces Of
troops are held in reserve not alone in
Rome, but in nearly all of the larger
Italian cities, to queil spreading anti
neutrality demonstrations. There
seems to be a general concerted
movement, the source of which re-
mains hidden, to force the hand of
the government, make 1t repudiate its
treaty obligations and amalgamate
with the allies against Germany ana
Austria.
The government. UP to the present,
has refused to be impressed with the
agitation and has constantly insisted
that the original proclamation of neu-
trality is to be rigidly adhered to.
However, there are extremely strong
rumors that changes in. the cabinet
are impending and If they come it is
expected the government will be
forced to take definite action.
A number of newspapers today
print stories declaring the Italian
military attache at Berlin has left
there. after objecting to severe criti-
cism of Italy's attitude by high court
officials. Nine of these stories are con-
firmed by the foreign office.

ut was generally understood at

bring back those Americans who were
unfortunate enough to be caught
there with the war, but nothing was
done, excepting the sending over of a
war vessel with funds that did not
reach but few people who were in
need, and the principal feature OF
this vessels doings seemed to be in
the form of social calls and banquet
