JAILED LADS At
TEMPT ESCAPE
Attempt to Sever Bars With Impro-
vised Saw.

Clinton, Ia, July 17.-Joseph
Moxely and William Fisher, two IL
year-olds, desired to see the west
and boarded a freight train in Chi
cago. They were picked up here
by the police, and were placed in
cell until word could be secured
from their parents in Chicago.
Last night Captain Oster of the
central station heard scrapine
noise, and after some time investi-
gated. He found that it came from
the cell occupied by the youthful,
wanderers. With a saw fashioned
from a steel table knife they had one
bar cut through at one end, and al
most through at the other, which
would have left an opening large
enough for their small bodies tc
squeeze through.
They secured the knife from a
passing lad, whom they did MOI
know, and hacked it into a saw with
a jackknife carried by one of the
boys. Both left for home on the
Northwestern.

Prospects for averting the threaten

yesterday with the announcement
from J. J. Keppler, international

At the massmeeting of the ma

expected \ strike will be taken, it is
understood that the questions to
come up are whether the strike shall
be confined to the Arms company's
plant or whether it shall include the
twenty or more shops where the
work for the arms company Is be-
ing done.

HARRY K. THAW IS
MADE A FREE man
After Nine Years of Prison Life
Slayer of Stanford White is
Given Liberty.

New York, July Hillary K.
Thaw shook off the grip of the law
yesterday, motored down Broadway
to the applause of admirers, crossed
the ferry to Jersey City, bade the
sheriff goodby and whirled away to-
ward Philadelphia, with his car
throwing dust on procession of au-
tomobiles filled with newspaper men
under orders to stay with him.
He reached Newark, ten miles
away, about 2 o'clock and stopped
for luncheon. His presence became
known Immediately and crowd,
which taxed the capabilities of the
police, assembled in the street out
side the restaurant. They cheered
him again when he had finished, and
Thaw, smiling his appreciation, re-
sumed his trip. His announced in
tention was to motor to Philadel-
phia, about 100 miles by roadway,
and there take a train for Pitts
burgh.
Outside Newark Thaw lost some of
the cars which followed him. APP
parently he had headed back for New
York as a ruse to elude the newspa-
per men. This created some specu-
lation, as he had previously said he
wanted to attend a theatrical per-
Torrance on Broadway last night
and had abandoned the idea rather
reluctantly when he saw the size of
the crowd awaiting his departure
from the court house.
For the first time since he fired
the shot that killed Stanford White
at the Madison Square Roof garden,
more than nine years ago, Thaw was
free yesterday to go and come as he
pleased. Supreme Court Justice

POSSE IS IN HOT PURSUIT.

Cedar Rapids, Ia, July 17.-Just
before closing time yesterday after
noon, two men entered the Farmers
Savings bank at North Liberty,
pointed a gun at the cashier, A. Cy-
pra, bound and gagged him, and
took all the money in sight, even to
pennies, amounting to nearly ST.
900. The bandits then escaped in an
automobile said to have been stolen
in Iowa City, toward which they are
believed to have fled.
Fifteen minutes later, some one
casually strolled into the building
and came across the helpless cashier.
AS soon as Mr.. Cypra was released,
he jumped into a machine and gave
chase. So far as is known he is still
in pursuit of the robbers. Practical
ly all the residents of the town have
Joined in the man hunt, which CEN
tiers in the woods near Iowa City.
The Farmers Savings, member
of the iowa Banking association and
protected against burglary losses, is
affiliated with the Cedar Rapids
Merchants National bank of which
John T. Hamilton is president. The
officials of the North Liberty insti-
tuition had been in the habit Of gath
ering the days deposits and sending
them to the local bank. 1t is thou ght
that the robbeys knew Of this GUS
tom and chose the right time for
their coup.
1t is evident that they proceeded
with deliberation, since before I'M
dertaking the robbery they stopped
at a garage two blocks from the
bank and prepared their machine for
long journey, giving it a thorough
overfauling and taking on a large
supply of gasoline. Then they drove
up to the bank building which is
situatad in an isolated part of the
town
1t Is not known exactly how much
cash was taken, but it is said that
since the usual amount on hand ev-
cry Gay was between $500 and ST.
900, the loss is not likely to exceed
the latter figure.

ALLEGED ROBBERS
Follows Them From Omaha to CoUr-
Gil Bluffs-Pair' Finally
Captured

| Council Bluffs, Ia, July 10
Philip Boysue, a farmer from Rush
Vile, Neb-, did not whine when two
men strong-armed robbed him of
his watch and $3.50 in cash in Oma-
ha July 8. He notified the police
and then set about locating the rob-
bers. He patrolled the streets OF
Omaha day and night. Tuesday
night his search was rewarded, he
says, by finding his two assailants
on the street and he followed them.
Evidently, he thinks, they saw him
also, for they led him a merry
chase, finally boarding a street car
for Council Bluffs.
When the car reached the North
western passenger station in this
city the two men he suspected
alighted, Boysue still at their heels.
On the depot platform Boysue grab
bed the men and called for the po-
lice. One of the. men hit Boysue in
the face and ran. Boysue managed
to hold the other.
The fleeing man was overtaken
and both were escorted to the police
station and locked up. They deny
their guilt and Boysue insists he
cannot be mistaken. The men re-
fuse to return to Omaha without a
requisition and Boysue has returned
to Nebraska to secure the papers.
