PRISONER
STICKS FAST
While Trying To Escape
Through a Small Hole In
County Jail.
RELEASED AFTER6 HOURS
Two Others Had Proceed
Him Into Corridor Schem-
ed To Attack Mullen. ,
RELEASED AFTER6 HOURS

What might have been a Jail deliv-
cry was thwarted Wednesday night
when white prisoner named Frank
Parker became fastened in a hole
through which he was trying to es-
cape from a cage. One bar in one of
the cages was cut, making a hole 69
inches by II inches. Abe Anderson
white, weighing about $50 pounds,
and Tom Pool, colored, 176 pounds,
managed to get through. Parker was
smaller than either of the others, but
stuck fast in the hole. This occurred
at 8 p. m. and at 10 p. m. Parker
gave up the attempt and called JaiIer
Mullins, and it took him about four
hours to get the man out. Hugh
McShane, the plumber, was called in,
but his saws would not cut the next
bar and Parker was finally pulled
back into the cell by soaping his body
and with the assistance of Lieut.. Haw.
kins and Patrolman Barnett. The
other two men were still in the cor.
ridor, as the hole did not let them
out of the building. Their plan evil
IDENTITY was to overpower the jailer
when he came in.
The bar of iron cut was defective,
having been filed to some extent sew
eral years ago.

PRESIDENT CONFIRMS THE
AUTHENTICITY OF INFORMATION
Plot Of German High Official Exposed to Incte War
Against United States by Japan and MexicO---Inter-
national Conspiracy to Violate Neutrality.

Washington, March 2.-Aroused by
the disclosure Of Germany's plot to
unite Japan and Mexico with her in a
war upon the United States and then
convinced by official evidence of its
authenticity, congress Thursday
abandoned the delays and obstruc-
tons which have checked President
Wilson'S efforts to be clothed with ex-
press authority to deal with the SUBJ
marine menace.
The house after a ten hour debate
and by 403 to 10 passed a bill to en-
power the president to arm merchant
ships and providing for 100000
600 bond issue. The bill, however,
does not contain the grant Of authori-
~ to use "other instrumentalities, "
which the president specifically de-
sires and would prevent government
insurance for munition ships pro-
vision which the president does not
approve.
When the house bill is received in
the senate tomorrow, the senate bill,
which the president recommends, will
be substituted and this is expected
finally to became law.
In the senate an attempt by Senator
Stone, Dem, to ask the president to
disclose the governments source OF
information of the attempted intrigue
with Mexico and Japan, on the sup
position that it came from one OF Ger
many's enemies, was defeated after
sharp and sensational debate. Instead
the senate merely asked for official
notice of the authenticity OF the dis
patch from the German foreign min
lister to Minister Won Eckhardt in
Mexico City. The president trans
mitted it Immediately with the state
ment that it would not be compati'
BILE with the public interest to reveal
further details concerning it.
DOCUMENT IN HANDS OF PRESI.
DENT.
This document has been in the
hands of the government since Presi'
dent Wilson broke relations with
Germany. 1t has been kept secret
while the president was asking con-
gress for full authority to deal with
Germany and while congress has
been hesitating. 1t was in the presi'
dents hands while Chancellor vor
Bethman-Hollwegg was declaring the
United States had placed an interpre
tation on the submarine declaration
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1917-03-03

Senator Stone, of Missouri, dis
turbed the harmony of the Senate by
clamoring TO be "cited," and two out
of the three Democrats in the House
who voted against trusting the Presi-
dent were from Missouri. There are
times when even a man from Mis-
souri, ought not to insist on being
shown.
Hopkinsville Kentuckian. [volume] (Hopkinsville, Ky.) 1889-1918, 1917-03-03

Never intended by Germany, that
Germany has promoted honored rela-
tons with the United States as an
heirloom from Frederick the Great.
Of itself, if there were no other, it
is considered an efficient answer to
the German chancellor's plan of Civ
ing authentic reasons for action"
MISSING LINK IN CHAIN OF CIR
CUMSTANCES.
The document supplies the missing
link to many separate chains of cir
cumstances, which until now, seem to
lead to no definite point. Itsheds new
light upon frequently reported, but
undefnable movements of the Next
can government to couple its situation
with friction between the United
States and Japan.
! II adds another chapter to the cele-
brated report of Jules Cambon,
French ambassador at Berlin before
the war, of Germany's worldwide
plan for stirring strife on every con-
tinent where they might aid her in
her struggle for world domination,
which she dreamed was close at hand.
1t adds the climax to the operations Of
Count Won Bernstorff and the Ger,
man embassy in this country, which
has been colored with passport frauds,
charges of dynamite plots and in
trigues which has never been pub
lished.
SUBMARINE BASE IN GULF OF
MEXICO.
1t gives new credence to persistent
reports that there are submarine bases
in Mexican territory in the Gulf of
Mexico.
1t takes cognizance of a fact long
recognized by American army chiefs
that if Japan ever undertook to in
wade the United states it probably
would be through Mexico, oyer the
border into the Mississippi valley, to
split the country in two.
1t is new explanation to the re-
cent arrest on the border OF men
charged by American military author
tiles with being German intelligence
agents.
/ Lastly it seemed to show connec-
ton with Gen. Carranza's recent pro-
posals to neutrals that the export OF
food and munitions to the entente al
lies be cut off, and an intimatlon that
he might stop the supply of oil, Sc
vital to the British navy, which is ex-
ported from Tampico fields.

plaintiff is represented by Attorneys
Raley g. Raley. The. complaint al
leges the defendant last year sued
Ledgerwood for the recovery OF a
horse valued at 800. The defendant
filed an answer to the complaint de-
nying the allegations. The court
then required the defendant. Ledger

The defendant objected to testi-
mony being taken in the case on the
ground that the facts in the complaint
did not constitute a cause Of action.
The case was tried before Justice Nc
Reynolds who overruled the defend
ants objections and the case was
submitted to the jury. The jury sub
sequently found for the plaintiff and
Ledgerwood now asks that the judg-
