United States penitentiary here today.
The men broke a iock on a door

cut through two brick walls each one
foot thick, climbed to the top of the
new east wing, which is being con-

liberty by a rope used in the con-

Duffy had eight years to serve for
theft of an interstate shipment Brown,
on the same charge, had two years
more to remain in prison, while Jones
would have been released in ten

Jones was convicted of impersonat-
ing an officer.

Morgan has been forced to place many
prisoners throughout the institution in

other prisoners with death unless Sc

The plan of Arthur Capper, govern

state to do a days work on the roads
on Good Roads" day does not meet
with hearty response from w. G.

everybody to tell somebody elsew hat

persons calling me Up wanting me to

THE idea of lot of soft office men
going out TO work ther Dads seems
foolish to me. If their time is worth
anything at all and they really mean
business, itw ould be a good deal more
sensible for them to pass the hat
among themselves and hire persons to
work the roads who not only know
how the work should be done, but
who are physically able to do it. They
should pass the hat anyway for money

for persons to go over all the roads

FIRE is RETURNED
George Clark Comes Back at
Governor Capper.
He Says Others Are Alarmed
Besides Himself.

George A. Clark, secretary of the
Republican League, today made a
brief statement concerning Governor
Capper's reply to the recent Dean
Clark charges. In short. snappy in
terview the Topeka man declares the
governor misquoted his recent inter
view and states frankly there are sew
eral political truths of which Cover
nor Capper should be advised.
Among other things, Clark takes
exception to the governors statement
that the ProgreSSiVes were better
qualified for office under his admin
istration than the 'standpatters. He
also notes the fact that the editorial
columns of the Capper publications
conservative Republican leaders since
the firing of the Dean broadside.
Mr.. Clark finds fault with my ap-
pointmentS, declaring L have given all
the places to the So-ca1led Progress
sives,' Clark read from the governor's s
recent statement.
That appears to be a studied mis-
repreSentatiOn,' declared Clark.
view in regard to patronage. My crit
icism was about the character of edi-
torials appearing in the governors 81
varieties of papers. When a conserva-
president he was blacklisted and
pointed out as a representative of the
interests that could not be trusted by
the people,
After that statement, Clark pro-
ceeded to make a few plain, frank,
unvarniShed remarks.
THE governor is ignorant of the
true conditions, politically the con
servative Republican leader declared.
No administration has been more Sc
verely criticized.
'-I feel that 1 am in position to
know the sentiment of the &C nserva-
tive Republicans and the governor
guesses it when he says 1 am alarmed.
Further the governors recent state
ment that he had to go to the Pro-
gressives to find men competent to
discharge the duties of the Office he
had to fill, will not add materially to
his popularity in 1916.
However, 1 have not noticed the
words standpatism' and 'reactionar-
les in the columns of the Capital since

won't appear as frequently as in the
past-which all tends to show that
someone other than myself may be

thinner, four members of the legisla-
ture and several state employees for
the apparent purpose of looking into
Zimmer's legislative activities.
The proceedings before Governor
Capper today were short Pollock on
behalf of thinner, filed numerous
pleadings looking to a dismissal of the
case. Each in turn was OVerruled.
Then S. M. Brewster, attorney general,
brought activities to a sudden termin-
alton by demanding that thinner him
self take the stand. When the chief
witness in the case was not produced,
a continuance was taken until Aug. l..
1t is generally conceded that the pur-
pose of Governor Capper is to throw
light on Zimmer's alleged illegal ac-
tivities before the state legislature in
the fight to defeat a drastic prohibi-
tory liquor amendment.
Clearly the next move in the case
is UP to Mr.. thinner. Should he
come to Topeka and take the witness

diers were left at the railroad at Nor
rias, while the remainder of the party,
mum bering seventeen rangers, went to
search water hole II miles distant
Meanwhile, the MeXicans from COW
er of the brush galloped toward the
little detail of soldiers at Norrias. The
soldiers at first mistook them for
rangers returning. Seven American
civilians all armed joined the cavalry
men.
The Mexicans swept down upon this
party as it was strung out along the
railroad tracks. The MeXicans seized
a section house, while the soldiers lay
fiat on the railroad tracks with the
civilians trying to pick off their at
tackerS.
Slowly the Americans retreated,
crawling and firing and concentrating
toward the ranch house, which was
about zoo yards from the building the
Mexicans had seized.
In this open fight all the Americans
wounds were received. The Ameri-
cans were fighting from cover of the
ranch house when the rangers re-
turned, dismounting in the brush and
crawling into the house apparently
unobserved by the Mexicans, who,
after a short fight, made off
