FLEES SING SING
"HONOR CAMP
Murderer Escaped Sunday
ito Pick Huckle-
berries"

Emil Totterman. n murderer serving
life term in Sing Sing prison, wan
dered away from the honor camp at
Beekman, N. Y, on Sunday. He went
to pick huckleberries, he said. He has
no. returned with them yet. No alarm
was issued from the prison nutil yes
terday.
The latest prisoner to escape from
Sing Sing killed a man in 1904 and
spent several months In the death
house before his sentence was COM
r1uted. This summer the then warden,
Dean Kirchwey, assigned him to the
honor camp. On Sunday night re-
port reached Warden Osborne from the
camp saying that Totterman had not
returned from huckleberrying. Mr..
Osborne refrained from giving the
alarm in the belief that the man was
lost and presently would come back.
Yesterday he became convinced that
Totterman had escaped. The man was
a sailor and il is believed that he Will
make for some seaport.
When questioned yesterday regard
ing the numerous escapes from Sing
Sing in the last few months, the War
den replied that he was doing all in
his power to build up a businesslike
administration. He blamed the lax
prison discipline upon the guards.
81 have suspended for a month the
man in charge Of the road gang from
which Ernest LIE Ford escaped" he said.
1.-THE officer who allowed the two men
to escape the week before last ! have
also suspended, and charges will be
preferred against him. In an institu-
ton like this men get into bad and
careless habits.
81 was not consulted in regard to the
men selected for the honor camp. /

SEIZE ESQUIMAUX AS SLAYERS
Mounted Police Arrest Two ut Nome
as Priests Murderers.

Ottawa, Aug. 2i.-News was received
to-day from Nome, Alaska, that the
Canadian mounted police have captured
the two Esquimaux who in November,
1918, in the copper mine country o.
the Arctic region, are alleged to have
murdered the Rev. Fathers Leroux and
Rouvier. They are now at Herschell
Island and will be brought out for
trial.
The Esquimaux are reported by In
spector Lanauze TO have confessed.
They belong to the same tribe, mem,
bers of which in June, 1912, murdered
Harry V. Radford, an American .ex-
plorer, and his Canadian companion,
George Street. It is thought by the
authorities here that it may DC estah-
lished that the same individuals com
mitted both crimes.

Fire Department Responds to Three
Alarms During the Oay-Many
Roof Fires Noted
Lately.
FLUES NEED CLEANING
Blaze Of Unknown Origin, Does One
Hundred Dollars Worth Of DAM
age in Underwood Homo
Last Night.

| The keokuk fire department had a
record of three runs yesterday. One
was in the morning and two in the
evening, the latter coming within ten
minutes Of each other. Two Of yes
terday's fires were caused by burning
! flues, sparks setting fire to the roofs
Of the houses. Seven flue fires have
been recorded already this month and
during the last few weeks there have
! been more fires from this origin than
has ever been known before here.
The house roofs are dry now and
can be easily set attire, which makes
burning f1ue dangerous The
only way to be on the safe side, in the
opinion of Fire Chief Anderson, is to
have the flues cleaned. This can be
done now Just as well as any time
and is safety first move.
The first fire alarm last evening
came at 500 o'clock from the home
Of r. Vernon McCutchan. 31s North
Fourth street. Sparks from the chin
ney had set fire to the roof. A good
sized hole was burned and the damage
amounted to about IS. While the
department was putting out the blaze
at the McCutchan home, another
alarm was turned in from 81 North
Sixth street, the home OF William
Underwood.
Two firemen were left at the first
place with fire extinguishers to put
out the roof blaze while the depart
ment responded to the second alarm.
There was no one home at the I'M
derwood house. The fire was discov-
cred by a passerby and the alarm
turned in. The fire originated in the
basement under the steps leading to
the first floor, ran up the staircase
and into a closet above the steps
The blaze was eNtinguished with a
loss Of about 500. The origin of the
fire is unknown -- E -.

Back of. Scenes With
birth of a Nation''

When "The Birth Of a Nation" was
showing here last week. there were
number of local people, and visitors,
too, who were curious - know how the
mechanical end of the production was
handled back Of the curtain while
they were enjoying the picture from
the front Here is a description OF
what happens behind the screen:
One man who knows the picture
from A to q and whose mind is re-
freshed by a carefully prepared list
of instructions, sits near the edge or
the screen where he can see it. Be
fore him is his list, and an electric
switchboard. Every second or TWO
he pushes a lever and som et1mes Two,
three or more at time. He Is sig
mailing the effect producers behlnd
the screen. Three men back there
are pounding on great fiat drums
whose chief mission seems TO De 10
give sound to the silent picture. Two
other men sit before slabs on some
material and with sticks about four
feet long. produce the sound of rlhe
ssnots. Colored lights flash before
them, telling them when to strike the
slabs and whether to initiate vol
lev Of shots or a single shot. They
ait with their sticks held in readl-
ness and with their eyes glued to the
signal lamps because when the hash
comes, the rifle shots must be sound
ed instantly. Back of them are three
or four big contraptions that look ike
relics from a medieval torture cham
her. They make the clatter OF horses
hoofs and when the clans are riding,
it takes three men to produce the
noise which seems to put life into the
galloping steeds. Then there Is a
bugler who gives the oft repeated
cIansmens class, sometimes far away
and sometimes close up. These ten
men keep busy nearly every minute
throughout the three hours. Two
more are used during the great battle
scene when 1t is necessary to repro
duce the sounds Of the big guns, the
yells of fighting men and the bedlam
Of battle.
Behind the screen all is orderly
confusion. The effect producers have
no time to watch the picture; they
must sit or stand and keep their eyes
on the colored lights which tell them
what to do and when to do 1t. But
they are a mighty important factor
in making the picture the greatest
production of the age. They put the
life into It; they make the characters
live and breathe before your eyes.
