SAW OUT PRISON
Four Missouri COnvicts Make
Daring Escape.
Cut Cell Lock, Dig Thru eft,
Concrete and Stone.

jefferson City, Aug. 26.-The most
daring escape in years from the state
penitentiary here became known to-
day when prison officials learned that
four convicts, one of them serving a
life term for murder sawed their way
out of their cells last night and dur
ing severe thunder storm, scaled the
prison walls Bloodhounds immedi-
ately were put on the trail but Re
cause heavy rain that fell thruout the
night little hope for their capture was
held out.
The convicts had obtained saws in
some manner unknown to the prison
authorities All the cells in the tier
in which they were confined lock with
a sliding steel bar and this was cut.
They eluded the three night guards
and gained the outside Of the cell
building. From there they entered a
long unused tunnel that connected
with the power plant. 1t had been
closed from the outside years ago but
the convicts dug thru six feet of con-
crete and stone, thus reaching the
stockade A ladder was found in the
tunnel and with the aid of this they
scaled the stockade walls.
The convicts are William Webber,
life term for murder, from Jasper
son county; Thomas Mccall, Jasper
county, and Harry Morris, Marion
county, each serving ten years SEN
tences for burglary.
Warden McClung has offered re-
ward of 500 each for their capture
He said he believed the escape had
been planned weeks in advance.

FEAR OF HIS Gun
Wife Says Husbands Revolver
Is Under Pillow.
He Has PrOphesied It'll Go Off
She Asks Divorce.

He sleeps with a loaded revolver
under his pillow and says that some
time it will go off accidentally and
kill me-"
That is one of the reasons given by
Nora Brown for a divorce from Will
liam Brown. in a petition filed in the
district court today. She says sne
fears the gun will go off accidentally
and fulfill his prophecy.
Mrs. Brown declares in her petition
that since 1908 Brown has been drunk
on an average of once a week. She
doesn't carry the matter out in totals
but little multiplication discloses
that she charges her husband with
being drunk in the neighborhood of
400 times since 1908.
And each time he becomes intoxi-
Gated, she says. he strikes and beats
her one or more times. Those are the
major complaints of Mrs. Brown. She
adds that for five years he has failed
to support her, althO they have lived
together all but two weeks since they
were married, August 5. 1896. In
stead of supporting her, she says, he
has spent his money for liquor during
the last five years
Mrs. Brown asks that the court
issue restraining order prohibiting
Brown from coming around her home
at 17O6 Topeka avenue, that it grant
her q divorce, permanent alimony and
the household goods.

Kaw Valley Products Could Be
Handled Cheaper Here.
FREIGHT TARIFFS DUE TO RISE
Costs Shippers More to Ship
Produce and Product.
All Depends on Decision of
Commerce Commission.

Topeka, as the location of several
additional canned goods factories
which would handle the produce out
put of the Kaw Valley, is the fore
cast of business men and others in
event the coast to coast freight rate
hike, which means that Kansas jobbers
will pay approximately $S1, 900 a year
in increased rates on canned goods
from the Pacific coast, is upheld by
the Interstate Commerce commission.
Should these rates, the tariffs of which
were filed by the railroads, be upheld,
it is pointed out that an industrial field
pra actically new would be forced to
spring up here, as under the new hike
the goods could be canned here much
cheaper than they could be obtained
from the coast.
Too Much Shipping.
Not a little produce is now shipped
from the Kaw valley to factories in
other cities for canning and then
proposed. basing the statement on the
arguments of the shippers, that would
no longer be profitable.
The Kaw valley, it is asserted could
now support reasonable canned
goods industry. Under better de-
veloped method in the produce indus
| try among gardeners and farmers the
output would be greatly increased and
| it would support several such fac
| tories.
| The railroads are asking a rate hike
from Atlantic coast points to the Pa
cific coast, including intermediate
points, and a hike from the Pacific
coast east. The increase they ask
means that Kansas jobbers must pay
$135 a car more for freight rates than
now, which would mean $S1, 900 an
nually in increase The roads want
| the rate raised from 81 X cents to S.
cents in carload shipments.
Decision Soon.
| The suspension board of the Inter
| state Commerce commission complet-
| ed a hearing on the case this week. A
| decision is expected soon. 1t is believ-
ed by shippers the suspension board
will lift the rates for four months
Should it not do SO, Topeka jobbers
stand to lose $4,000 in increased rates
on goods which they have ordered and
sold under the old rates but which
have not yet been shipped. according
to E. H. Hogueland, commerce coun-
| sci for the Topeka Traffic association
| Should the suspension board hold uI
the rates it will probably be ten
months before the commission itself
| acts on the increases as that body is
| given six months in addition to the
four months suspension to consider
the case.
! Among others, ]. Will Kelley. secre-
tary of the Commercial club, is in
clined to believe the canning industry
of the Kaw valley will be boosted by
the increase If it is allowed.

Came Home to Campaign and
Job Was Abolished.
DIDN'T LIKE IT WELL ANYWAY
Truly 1t Paid $16,5OO a Year
But He Had Few Friends.
Marion Man Expected in To-
peka for Party Council.

Henderson S. Martin of Marion, vice
governor of the Philippine Islands. re-
turned to Kansas for a vacation Now
he ah sdecided to stay. Reason? His
job has been abolished
News in Topeka today was to the
effect that Martin would not return to
Manila. Since he left the islands, con-
gress has passed the Philippine indie
pendence bill. The measure carries
with it provision abolishing the s1s.-
500 a year job held by the well known
Kansas Democrat.
Martins job was one of the best
political offices ever given a Kansan.
He went to Manila in 1913 under an
appointment by President Wilson. He
had previously served as chairman of
the public utilities commission under
Governor Hodges and in 1912 had di-
rected the state and national campaign
| in Kansas as chairman of the Demo-
cratic state committee.
In June Martin left the islands ex-
| pecting to take a vacation and return
/ to Manila next winter. The pending
| independence bill, however, held Mar
tins job in the balance and he was as
sured in advance of his leaving that
! he might not lind it necessary to re-
turn. So Martin brought his family to
Kansas and will move to Lawrence
where he will send his daughter to the
state university.
He Never Liked II.
The Kansas man was never in love
| with his Manila job. To be sure it
paid a fat salary. But Martin was
away from friends and distance of
| 5000 miles keeps one out of touch
with things at home. He WAS lone
some. Every letter he sent home con-
tanned a sigh and heartache.
1 During the 1915 legislature. Martin
returned to Kansas for a little visit
! He spent a week around the big brass
rail, on the third floor of the state
| house, between the house of repre-
sentatives and the senate chamber
and he was as happy as a child with
! a new toy.
Lord, / wish 1 didn't have to go
back" Martin told a Topeka friend
when the day came for him to say
| goodbye.
Anxious to Get Back
i For months Martin has been plan
ming his trip to Kansas during the
present campaign. He was fairly
aching to get back in the game. Now
his job is gone and Martin is free. He
Is probably just as happy as a man
| can be who has separated himself
from a big federal job, but knows he
is back among his own people for
keeps.
| All OF which opens a new line of
| thought in the minds of Kansas DEM
ocrats. With news that Martin was
! actually home to stay. a movement
was started in Topeka today again to
name Martin as state chairman 1t
is not known whether Martin will ac-
cept the place. altho he has expressed
! a desire to take hand in the cam
paign.
Martin will probably come to To-
peka for the party council. If he con-
sent to direct the fight for the Demo-
Gratis in the present campaign, ii In
quite probable that his name will be
/ presented to the Democrat state COM
| mittee as a candidate for the state
Craftsmanship.
