HANGMAN' ROPE AS LADDER . BY MURDERERS
Two Under Death Sentence and Another Escape from Dungeon Cells and Near lv Regain Freedom Be fore Discovery
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

SACRAMENTO April 7.-Three murderers, Frank Creeks, Earl Loomis, and Zollis Clements, two of whom were condemned to death, escaped from their cells in the dungeon in Folsom prison last night. and at tempted to cut their way through the bars to freedom with hacksaws. Care lessness in locking themselves out of their cells so they could not get back when the guard made an inspection at o'clock, resulted in their capture.
 Making a crude ladder from the rope with which Jacob Oppenheimer. Human Tiger" was hanged two years ago, the men reached the barred win dows at the roof of the dungeon, and had commenced to saw the bars when discovered. When they heard the guard at the door. and realized they could not get back to their cells, the murders began shouting don't shoot, v and surrendered when the door was opened.
 Creeks, who was recaptured last fall, after murdering Night Sergeant John Drury, and escaping from Folsom. had in some manner secured a key similar to that which he used before. With the key on the end of a bent wire, he reached through one of the air holes in the door of the cell. opened the lock and released Loomis and i Clements. They closed their cell doors, locked them from the outside so their absence would not be mo- ticed and then went to an unoccupied cell next the scaffOld where their hangings are to take place, unlocked the door and took out a piece of the | hangmans rope.

UZSOK PASS IS
 NOW OBJECTIVE
Part of Russian Army Is Believed Now to be Man euvering to Get Behind the Anstro-Germans in the Pass
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPATcHI

LONDON. April 7.-The Carpathian mountains and hilly country between the rivers Mouse and Moselle in France continue the scenes of most sanguin- ary engagements. But little news is forthcoming of the progress of the bat ties. Except the Uzsok pass in the Carpathians where the Austrians as- sisted by the Germans, are offering most stubborn resistance the Russians are said to have crossed the first range Of mountains and from the heights they ter hand to hand fighting they can look down on the southern slopes to- ward the plains of Hungary. It is as serted that part of the army which crossed the mountains is maneuvering to get behind the Austro-Germans holding the I-Zsok Pass.
 The Austrians admit things are go-
 ing bad for their armies and are anXi- ously awaiting the German reinforce ments which are hurried to their aid. Although no announcement to this ef- feet was made. the general expectation in military circles here is that the combined land and sea attack on the Dardaneles will begin shortly and at the same time the Russians. who are Black Sea. will Lombard the Bosphorus forts
 The Austrians are fighting in Buko- Wina but this is only secondary Op- eration. Engagements in progress in northern Poland. where the Russians are tying to push back the German ms into East Prussia also appear to be small affairs.
 Between the Mouse and Moselle the French. like their eastern ally, are on the offensive attempting to force the Germans to give up St. Mihiel and the region in the vicinity of that now fam ous town. The Germans in an official report claim to have repulsed all the French attacks, but semi official statement from Berlin says according
 to ''prearranged plan. the German Fey Have"

WASHINGTON April Tt is un- known to officials. why former Presi- dent Huerta is coming to the United States. but it is generally believed he intends to confer with numerous prominent Mexicans associated with him in his administration who have gathered in New York since the triumph of the constitutionalist forces in Mexico, or perhaps intends to make his residence there-
 The state department has heard several rumors that some of Huerta's followers were gathering strength to promote another military campaign in Mexico in the hope of preventing either the CarranZa forces or the Villa -Zapata coalition from obtain ing possession of MeXico's govern ment. but nothing tangible has de veloped. so far as officials here are informed. indicating any move in that direction.
 The belief has prevailed in official quarters here that many of the Mex jeans now in exile would sooner or later join whatever faction was ap- parently getting the upper hand in the present struggle.
