ESCAPES PRISON IN BARREL
But Convict Had to Have Fresh Air
and Is Taken Back to Finish
Sentence.

Baltimore, Md.-Just because he had
to have the air to breathe, Elmer john
son, convict serving a ten-year SEN
tence in the penitentiary for murder,
spoiled clever plan to escape.
Johnson is employed in the shipping
department and one night took ad-
vantage of the absence of the regular
guard to substitute himself for hol-
lOwware in barrel that was to he
shipped in the morning. The regular
guard also examines barrels before
they are sent out, but Johnson took
the chance that the substitute would
not, and he judged rightly.
The barrel, with Johnson inside, COW
cred with excelsior, was wheeled out
and put on the wagon. On the way
Johnson felt the need of air and
pushed up the lid to get it. A boy
saw the arm go up out of the barrel
and called to the driver. The latter
took look, clapped the lid on again,
whipped up his horses and carried
Johnson back to the penitentiary.

over for the noon dinner, Marie re-

Burglar Has Bank Account.
The loot obtained by Peterson in
Seattle is valued at thousands of dol
lars. A transfer wagonfull of stolen
goods, including clothing, cameras, re-
volvers, jewelry, suit cases, grips and
a varied assortment of other articles
was taken from his rooms to police
headquarters. Later the office was
stormed with victims of Peterson's
operations.
Peterson said the thrill and excite
ment of the game appeal strongly to
him but that he took up burglary as
regular business and determined to
make it a success and to proceed along
businesslike lines. When asked if he
thought his criminal operations were
worth while he replied: "Well, I've
got pretty good bank account and
nobody can identify that. It's not
bad game if a fellow likes it. But you

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia, Jan. A.
General Greenville Dodge died yes
terday.
Two notable services to his coun-
try assure him place among the his
tory makers of the civil war and re-
construction periods. AS soldier his
valor is attested by the fact that four
horses were shot from under him in
the battle of Pea Ridge, and that he
himself received wounds in several
battles. AS pioneer in western rail-
road building, he has the Union Pa
cific railroad, whose line he located
and whose construction he superin-
tended, standing today as monument
to his memory.
Some sixty years ago, the then
young Dodge, who had moved from
New England, where he had studied
civil engineering, to Council Bluffs,
Ia, entered the employ of the Illinois
Central railorad. Abraham Lincoln,
who had done legal work for the same
company, met the young Yankee. They
talked of building railroad over the
Rocky mountains and beyond. The
world had been laughing at the pro-
ject. Lincoln and Dodge agreed that
it was feasible.
The federal government shortly
afterwards decided to begin surveying
for the proposed line. Dodge jumped
at the chance of leading the party.
Several trips were made as far as the
Rocky mountains searching for the
mosr feasible route, the men under

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.--Announce-
ment is made today that the depart
ment of the interior has completed,
on the rim of the Grand Canyon, in
Arizona, a memorial to Major John
Weslay Powell, the intrepid pioneer
and celebrated scientist who first ex-
plored the Grand Canyon. The me-
mortal is an altar decorated in Indian
imagery and supporting bronze tab
let, resting upon pyramidal base OF
rough-hewn stone. Fifteen steps lead
from the west up to the altar floor,
from which one may gaze into the very
heart of the glowing mile deep can

the rugged, forceful personality OF the
man and of the titanic chasm which
