PAT QUINLAN
is RELEASED
FROM PRISON
Served All But Eleven Weeks of Sen.
tence for Saying too Much

Pat Quinlan is free man again,
and every one is glad. even the Pater-
son cops" who sent him away to the
New Jersey states prison for nearly
two years.
There wasn't much of a demonstra-
ton for him when Judge Abram Klein
ert set him free in the Paterson court.
Yet when an old broken Irishman
came to him and shook hands, saying,
We're all happy to see you agin," it
about summed it up.
Pat took it quietly. He blinked n
few times at the judge, had time to
keep the peace when he was advised
BY Klenert to be more careful in the
future, and then the ordeal was over
Mrs. Anna NJ Sloan, of New York,
trotted up the clerk of court and
turned over $500 which was collected
from people in New York to pay his
fine. This took about two seconds, and
Quinlan walked out with a crowd at
his back.
Big Fund for Quinlan
The court room was empty when
the Socialists left, and Judge Klenert
had quiet grin of satisfaction about
his regal face as they filed out.
Later, big handful of bills was
turned over to Quinlan, which was
collected from Socialists, as a slight
recompense for the two years of life
that had been spent behind prison
bars.
He served all but II weeks of his
two years sentence, the minimum of
his term. The charge against him was
of high misdemeanor, resulting from
making an alleged inflammatory
speech at a meeting of silk weavers in
the Paterson silk strike of 1918.
He came down from Trenton with
Warden Patrick Hughes, who treated
him more like friend than a prisoner
about to be set free. At Newark sta
ton he got the first welcome from
Milo c. Jones, secretary of the Social
ist Party of New Jersey; Fred Har-
wood, an old friend.
Is Pretty Soft Yet
I'm pretty soft yet" he said. His
face was bit sunken and pale from
the long Imprisonment, otherwise he
appeared to be in good health. He
didn't like the idea of having to de-
pend on judicial clemency to be liber-
ated.
The fact that he could spend the
holidays with friends appealed to him,
otherwise he would have been just as
glad to stay out the II weeks more
and have served his sentence. That's
Pats makeup.
He spoke about the many friends he
had among the convicts, and in partic-
ular of one keeper, "as white a man
as you'll meet" he said. Quinlan car
ried lot Of messages to bring to
friends of the convicts. One was con-
cealed in his shoe.
"The cons expect me either to set
the Jail on fire or do what Osborne
did to Sing Sing" he remarked, as
the party was walking to take the car
for Paterson. "But, of course, they
exaggerate. 1t comes from long con-
finement. The long timers get simple,
first, and finally go crazy"
Has Contract Labor Facts
He had few complaints to make
about the prison. Under Warden
Hughes improvements were being
made. The cells are more spacious
than Sing Sing, but the food is very
poor. He had lot of information,
however, about prison contract labor
that he intends to write about.
There's shirt manufacturer who
has shirts made by the convicts, work
ing under contracts, who puts the
union label on them" he said.

Veteran Kid FIberfeId
Will Be Forty Tomorrow

Norman Elberfeld, long famous as
the shortstop of the Detroit and New
Y DIRK Americans, will pass his for
tieth milestone tomorrow. The Ia
basco Kid was born in Mason City,
w Va, April 10, 1876, and this year
will mark his twentieth season in
professional baseball. Elberfeld took
over the management of the Chatta-
nooga Southern League club last July,
and he has been rewarded for his fine
work as a pilot by being retained as
the chief of the Lookouts.
The Tabasco Kid demonstrated
that he was able to administer some
of his pep to others when he sue
ceeded Mccormick at the Chatta-
nooga. helm in the middle of last sea-
son. Up to that time the Lookouts
had been fighting gameIy to GUST
Little Rock from the cellar, and they
seemed in a fair way to succeed, in
spite of the best efforts of the Ar
kansaw Travellers, when the Kid
took charge. Then the joke team OF
the league took a sudden brace, and
the players began to give an excellent
imitation of being alive. Although
the Lookouts finished sixth, they
scrapped with Nashville and Atlanta
up to the very last for a .place>in the
first division. This is Elberfeld' S
second try as manager of the Chatta-
nooga club, and it looks as if he
would get away with it.
The Kids professional career be-
gan in 1897, when he covered third
base for Richmond, in the Atlantic
league, and batted .335. The next
year he was with Detroit, in the
Western league, where he began his
wonderful career as a shortstop. In
the middle of the 1899 season he
went to the Cincinnati Reds, but in
1900 he went back to Detroit, and
played shortstop for the Tigers dur
Of
American League. In 1908 he join
ed the New Yorks, where he remain
ed seven seasons. He rounded out
his major league career with Wash
ington, where he played second and
third base in 1910 and 1911, Last
wear the Kid finished the season in
the outfie1d, and hung up swatting
average of .288. A

Ell Paso, April 12-An entire new
version of the story of Villas death
was brought here today by a, Mexican
cattleman who claimed to have suf
fered a visitation from a band of Villa
followers on his ranch near Bachiniba.
This man said that Villa was neither
dead nor wounded but that Pablo
Lopez, the bandits notorious lieuten-
ant and executioner-in chief, had died
and that Villa had deliberately used
his death as the basis of the story of
his own finish.
The cattleman told the following
story: ~
II was in Guerrero at the time Villa
came there and afterwards when the
American soldiers arrived I believed
it was safe to return to my ranch. Last
Thursday a band of 20 OF Villas men
rode up to the ranchhouse. They took
a little grain that I had and killed
one of my cows and had a great feast,
They had several bottles of liquor that
they had secured at Guerrero and
Minaca and got pretty drunk before
they were through.
tsThey ridiculed the American SOL
diers and boosted about the way Villa
had fooled the tgringoes' by sending
guides to the American officers with
stories of different places in which he
was hiding Then they talked about
Lopez and said he was dying and that
as soon as he was dead the fgringoes'
would be told it was Villa and then
they all would go home.
t'They' did not say anything about
the whereabouts of the Villa bandits
but understood from their talk that
he was far to the south and that they
were under orders to meet himself
somewhere near Parral."
The Mexican who told this story is
well known to several Americans here
who considered him reliable.
Villas ride south has been dis
astrous one for the villages and small
towns through which he has raided,
laccording to numerous reports receiv-
FED here. His men have looted at will
! and have been ruthless in their de-
/ structio nof property. Several reports
Irelate instances of women being as
saulted and of Mexicans who were shot
because of their supposed friendliness
to Americans but none of them has
/ been corroborated.
! The most reliable information is tc
| the effect that Villa is in northern
durango. trying to arrange for con-
Ecentration for his adherents- who have
Ebeen operating under Canuto Reyes.
