the prisoners back to Jail and locked
them up securely, as he thought The
two men did not propose to be taken
to Denison if they could have their
way about it and with an old bolt they
forced the paddock on the cell door
and escaped, the negro starting down
the track west OF town while the
white man took the road east OF town.
The officers were not slow in discover
ing that the two birds had flown and
at the rate they were going when
seen it was evident that it would be
no easy matter to run them down, so
a posse was organized and automobiles
were pressed into service and the
chase was on. Before the posse had
started the men were out of sight,
but by following the tracks the two
culprits were apprehended, and at Z
o'clock that night they were both back
in the city jail. They were brought
to Denison yesterday and are now Sc
curely locked in the county jail.

Two Desperate Characters Who Broke

ate Much Excitement.
STOLE A QUANTITY OF BOOZE
Break Jail at Manila, Only to be Cap

Chase by Officers.

Manila was the scene OF another
sensational episode last week that Gre
ated considerable excitement before
the affair was finally wound up and
the leading characters safely lodged
i'll the county jail at Denison to await
the action OF the grand jury on a
charge of breaking and entering Mil
waukee freight car in the yards at Mas
nilla and stealing quantity of liquor
and dried fish.
Last Wednesday Ed Mccarthy
(white) and George Williams (col0r-
ed, who were employed at the Mil
waukee roundhouse, broke into "a
freight car standing on a siding. Much
to their delight they discovered q ship

contented with small supply of this
favorite brand they bundled off with
"a full quart bottles and "a pints, to-
gether with two baskets of dried fish
which they buried under the bank car
which Williams was occupying.
The robbery was discovered soon
after by the station agent, who nOti-
fled the railway officials at Sioux City
by wire, and their special agent, Mr..
Paul Barcus, was sent to Manila at
once to make an investigation. Mr..
Barcus went over the ground thor
oughly and by Sunday morning had
enough evidence to cause the arrest
OF Mccarthy. Mccarthy was induced
by the railway detective to make a
statement OF facts concerning the rob-
berry and in his statement he admitted
breaking into the car in company with
Williams and stated that they had
taken the articles mentioned above.
In this statement he tried to implicate
Edward Riddle, one of the trusted en-
sployees of the Milwaukee, who fires
the boilers in the sand house. Riddle
has lived at Manila with his family
for some time and has good reputa-
ton and had no trouble in convincing
the authorities that. he had nothing

Resident, succumbs to Attack Of
Pneumonia Last Thursday
WAS ACTIVE CHURCH WORKER
Funeral Held at Baptist Church Sun
day, Attended by G. A. r., s.
Of v. and w. r. C.

The community was startled on last
Thursday forenoon at the report cir
culated that Mrs. John l.. Richardson
had died at an early hour that morn
ing at her home on Washington
street. A great many people in the
city had not heard of her illness prior
to the report of her death.
Mr.. and Mrs. Richardson had been
residents of this community for
great many years and had won the
hearts Of the people of Denison. and
the announcement of her sudden death
brought grief to many hearts in the
community. 1t is said that Mrs. Rich.
ardson's death was caused by an at
tack OF pneumonia from which she
had suffered but few days, perhaps
less than a week. Her health had
been usually good until a week ago
last Thursday, when she took severe
cold that rapidly developed into pnen-
monia, which caused her death.
Mary Macarthur was born Jan. 90,
lS47. at Buffalo, Linn county. Iowa.
While small child the family moved
to Palo in the same county and here.
in November, 1868. she was married
to John l.. Richardson. whom she now
leaves to mourn her loss. After a
couple OF years in Palo. Mr.. and Mrs
Richardson moved to Missouri, whero
for five years they lived and later
moved to Soldier township in tile
northwestern portion. of this county.
where they lived six or seven years
They then moved to Denisop, where
they have resided ever since.
Mrs. Richardson. during all the time
of her married life, has been actively
interested in the work of the Baptist
church. Of which she was a member,
and has also been q, PROMINENT worker

over to County Superintendent Olry,
who will purchase the corn and dis
tribute it to school children.
The club next listened to the report
of the street aprinkling committee
and were gratitied to learn that there
is balance of $500 this year after all
expenses We're paid. This money was
turned over to the treasurer of the
club and there is a possibility that this
fund will be used to help purchase
electroliers to be placed on the
streets leading to the Northwestern
and Illinois Central depots. The club
has been considering this proposition
for some time and in all probability
the Improvement Will be made some
time this summer. @
r. E. Mote, secretary of the club,
made report, showing balance OH
hand of $475.00. He. also reported that
every cent owing the club up until
January 1st had been paid in. which
leaves the books in excellent shape to
commence the new year with. This

ported that the membership OF the
club was now 11Ozmembers in good
standing, which is the largest that it
has ever been. During the year the
club has paid out with warrants some
SlSO0.O0 for expenses and donations
to different enterprises.
After the report OF the secretary the
matter OF paving came up for discus
sion, and it was the opinion OF most
of the members that Denison should
take hold OF this proposition and do
something this year. Towns smaller
than DenisOn in western Iowa have
already paved while others are ,ar-
ranging for pavement to be laid this
year. Some members OF the club
were in favor of delaying paving until
Denison was supplied with gas plant.
The meeting was one of the best at
tended held for some time and it is
hoped that the othsr business meet
ings this year will lie as well attend
ed. A meeting Of the directors is
called for next Friday evening. to
check over the secretary's report.

Close Call Last Wednesday While
Starting Car in His Garage

Manila, Jan. 12-(Special to the Re-
view Justice of the Peace Bohland-
err met with close call last Wednes-
day when he was overcome by gas in
the garage at the rear OF his residence.
Mr.. Bohlander had occasion to use his
machine and went out to start the en-
CINE. The garage was cold and after
some difficulty he was able to get the
motor started, but as the cylinders
were not warmed up much OF the gas
passed through without becoming ig-
nited. 1t was but few moments be-
fore the air was filled with the deadly
gasoline fumes and MIR. Bohlander was
overcome.
Fortunately his plight was discov.
cred and he was taken into the house
and a physician called to administer
to him. He was resuscitated, but is
still suffering considerably with the
effects of the terrible experience.

One OF the most interesting plays
of the present theatrical will be pre-
scented at the Germainia on Friday.
Jan. Is for one night only. It. is Jones
and Cranes production OF THE Vir-
ginian." This romantic drama is in
ifonr acts which are elegantly mount
ed, particularly ''horse thief pass" at
night fall. The story sparkies through
ripping comedy. plunges into depths
of intense tradgedy. and whirls into
sketches OF pathos. II concerns a
cowboy OF Wyoming who falls in love
with the district school Mann. a girl
barely out OF her teens from the East.

The pictures are the first colored mo-
tion pictures to come out of Europe

In all sections of the war-swept con-
tinent, and show the soldiers of every
nation engaged ins the conflict. They
showed something of the life OF the

Polls Leading Man
Tells of the "MOvies''

The manner In which an actor is
called upon to work to produce a mo-
tion picture and his varied experiences
during the production were exclaimed 10
large audiences at the Poll Theater bv
Albert Roscoe. leading man OF the Poll
Players, yesterday afternoon and even
Ing during the exhibition of severar rs
sanay films. in which the leading man
was featured.
MI. Roscoe expressed himself as much
pleased with motion picture work He
said 1t was II fine experience for the
actor on the stage. as II taught him
many things about expression and dra-
matte situations he could learn in no
other way. One OF the big advanta ges
to the actor lay in the fact that when
the picture Is, produced on the screen
the actor can watch himself act and
can pick out the faulty movements and
act ons. In this way he learns what
not to do do next tine. Mr. Roscoe be-
lieves that appearing in the motion pic
lures has been OF great benefit to stage
stars for this reason.
The pictures shown were headed by
two-reel feature called THE Opa!
Ring" in which Mr. Roscoe played the
leading part. The program also in
cluded several comedies and two other
dramas: II both of the latter Roscoe
was featured. The actor told how the
pictures We're made as each scene was
shown. and had some interesting anec-
dotes to relate concerning the actors
and actresses who appeared with him.

GUNS BEST,
SAY NAVAL EXPERTS
Fourteen-Inch Type Superior to
Queen EIizabeth's, They As
sert in Statement.

A statement prepared by ordnance cx-
perts OF the Navy Department, and
authorized by Secretary Daniels, seeks
to show that the American 14-inch guns
are more effective than the 15-inch guns
on the Queen Elizabeth, the British
warship which has been active i'm the
Dardanelles.
In the course of this statement, the
American 16-inch gun is commended as
superior to both the 14-inch and the 10
inch. but II is not stated whether 1t is
to be generally used.
In the statement, Secretary Daniels
says:
There Is an axiom with regard to
calibers which amounts to this: That
ship should mount the smallest big
over vitals at the maximum probable
1ghting range. The 14-inch guns of
the Pennsylvania will get through the
maximum armor afloat, 80 far as our
yards. The Queen Elizabeths 15-inch
guns will do little more than that II
our Information is correct as to the
velocity Of the British 15-inch gun. the
range a little farther than the Queen
Eliza beth's 15-inch gun. The fiatter ira
lection of the l4-tnch gun gives 1t in
creased probability of hitting in COM
Win tne lO-lf1Cn gun.
The Pennsylvania mounts twelve
guns to the Queen Eliza abeth's eight.
Therefore, the volume Of fire OF our
ship exceeds the volume Of fire OF the
British ship by 80 per cent.
The Navy Department has built and
proved a sixteen-inch gun superior TO
both the fifteen-inch and fourteen-iach
gun, so far as penetration of armor at
1ghting range Is concerned. II the
Pennsylvania were to be armed with
the sixteen-inch gun she could carry
only eight. as against the twelve four
teen-inch guns now assigned to her, If
we adopted the ffteen-inch caliber we
would have to make a sacrifice in num-
Der OF guns as great or nearly as great
as was done in the design OF the Queen
Elizabeth.
Counting volume of fire and proba-
bility of hitting. we see that at battle
range the number OF blows delivered
by the Pennsylvania in a given time
Will exceed those given by the Queen
Elizabeth by 20 per cent. The fifteen
weighing 1920 pounds. Our fourteen
inch she'll weighs ! 400 pounds The
bursting effect of the larger shell viii
be greater. of course. but we have little
doubt that the destructive effect of tho
burst Of the fourteen-inch will be quite
sufficient for its task. No one car
doubt tho advisability OF delivering sev.
enteen hits to ten Of the enemy. Added
to all Of the above. we must r.colloCt
that the chance Of having gun iiro sur
viVe rests with the ship carrying the
greatest number.
Now. IL We compare thes" guns "A,
range greater than battle rango or ar.
| NOR piercing range, and merely Coun,
the ability to reach the encmy's decks
or armored parts. we find that the
Pennsylvania's guns range as far. at a
maximum, as those Of the Queen Eliza
beth. Both guns range farther thar
ship: that is to say, over q On0 wards
or something like twelve land miles"
