THOMPSON CAUGHT
 AFTER LONG CHASE
Trailed Through Eighteen States
 and Arrested in Boston

Boston, Sept. 12.-George E. Thompson, accused by the police of shooting up" the county jail in Cam den, N. J., killing Isaac Hibbs, a jailer, and seriously wounding an assistant in making his escape, was captured in a Concord street lodging house late yesterday by Detectives Burke and Haggerty, of Police Headquarters, and Augustine Gribben, of the county prosecutors office in Camden.
 The prisoner, who admitted his identity, said that he was a lawyer and realized the futility of fighting ex- tradition. He will be taken back to New Jersey today
 Gribbens pursuit of Thompson has taken him through eighteen states. When the trail led to Boston, Gribben took lodging in the house in the South End where Thompson was supposed to be. The fugitive had grown a mus tache, and his hair had turned from a dark color to gray.
 , Thompson wrote his name in the Bertillon room with such f1ourishes in penmanship that it won the admira- ton of the inspectors.
 That writing brought me into trouble" he informed the police. It was on charge of forgery that he had been confined in Camden.
 The shooting occurred July G. Thompson and a man named Ash bridge were in a steel cage in the jail Hibbs, the jailer, was induced to ap- proach the cage on the pretext that they wished him to read a letter. One of the men had a revolver which had been smuggled into the jail, and with this Eibbs was shot and killed. Then the men reached through the bars and stole his keys, with which they unlocked the cage. A running fight with attendants followed. One at tendant was shot, but will recover Ashbridge was captured in a few days but Thompson escaped. Because o1 his education and attainments he was better able to maintain his freedom

FUGITIVE WOMAN
 HELD BY POLICE
Sought Since Escape From Deten.
 tion in Hospital Last June

New York, Sept. 12.-The woman known as Clara Brown, sought by the authorities since her escape from Washington Heights hospital while under sentence last June, was brought back to the city from Utica yester- day by detectives of the district at torney's staff.
 As a result of a confession by the womn, MT. Swann said last night. at least one man would be arrested charged with white slavery The wo- man said her maiden name was Vine berg and that she was nineteen.
 According to her story, she was the daughter of Harris Vineberg, an AL bany tailor. She says she was unhap- oily married at seventeen and ob- tained a separation. While visiting friends in New York a year ago. she continued, she met a former girlhood friend, a man d few years older than herself. She holds this man respon- sible for her downfall.
 Charging that he sold her into white slavery, she declared that he often beat and abused her when she did not turn over as much money to him as he thought she should.
 Last winter she was arrested for violating the tenement house ordin- ance and was committed to the Mag dalen Home for three years by Magis- trate Barlow in the Womans Night Court Late in May she was taken to the Wash ington Heights hospital, ap- parently suffering from appendicitis. On June she eluded her police guard, and, it is alleged, by the aid of Miss Mary E. Higgins, superintend- ent of the institution and Helene Bird, a night nurse, was hurried to a rear entrance, wearing Miss Birds over coat, and bundled into a waiting auto mobile. Miss Bird has made a con- fession, explaining that Miss Higgins reimbursed her for the loss of the garment Miss Higgins has been ar rested.
 After her escape the fugitive hid on the East Side for a month and then went to Utica She said she was com pelled to live in Deerfeld, a suburb of the city.
 A few days ago word was brought to the district attorneys office that the girl was in Utica. Detectives Frank Gallagher and John Cunniff went there Saturday and, with the aid of Utica detectives, found her. Surrounding g the house, they caught the girl as she was about to leave a rear entrance and board a waiting automobile.
 According to Assistant District At torney John T. Dooling, the girl went by the name of Clara Brown in New York previous to her escape. In Utica

SALVO FROM ARkANSAS

Rear Admiral Austin M. Knight, U.
 s. N., chief umpire of the recent war
 game between the fleets commanded
 by Rear Admiral Henry T. Mayo and
 Rear Admiral James M. Helm, in an interview at the Naval War college, of which he is president, said the man. euvers had proved to be by far the most stupendous and instructive yet undertaken. Its course was good deal determined" he said, "by the weather, and, on account of the south west breeze, with it's customary ac- paniment of mist, vessels could not be distinguished for more than two or three miles. This enabled the red fleet to make it's way through the f1o- tillas of torpedo boat destrOyers and scout vessels sent out by the blue or defending fleet. As part of the train ing the civilian naval recruits re- ceived they have become somewhat eff f1cient in handling one pounders. In the target practice with the one pounders the firing was at the rate of four shots to the minute, the range starting at 600 yards and gradually decreasing to 300 yards. The one pounders were mounted in the bows of motorboats. and the attack was made to initiate landing party. The pointers of the gun crews soon found it was no easy matter to score a hit with the boat rocking all about, the target constantly shifting, and the range growing less as their boat ap- preached the supposed enemy. The volunteers from the Maine, however, made a fair record. They scored thirty-five hits out of a possible sixty. 1 Tn operating the heavier guns the 1 range was approximately 1,8O0 yards l when the command was given to fire,

Weeks of Mid- dlebury, speaker of the house of rep resentatives and Roger Hulburd, of Hyde Park, an experienced legislator, sought the lieutenant governorship honors and Major Benjamin Gales, former secretary of civil and military affairs and deputy state treasurer Thomas Cave were contesting for the auditorship.
 The two members of congress, Frank l.. Greene of St. Albans and Porter H. Dale of Island Pond, repub- licans, were unopposed in their own party.

Miller of Newport; Congress, Robert E. Healey of Ben- nington, and G. Herbert Pape of Barre; Governor, w. B. Mayo of Northfeld
