 With ten locomotives instead of four coming from Panama and large number of already ordered 1t IS evident that the road will be equipped with rolling stock sufficient for ordinary needs before it is completed

ALASKANS MOST NOMADIC OF TRIBES

Just few weeks ago when the prohibition bill was up in the lower house of congress- Alaskan named Me Kenzie told the house committee that the people of this territory can boast of higher average of intelligence than the people of the states and to prove his argument he told of the travelling of AaSkans and compared them in this respect with people in Virginia who had never seen Washington D.

OPPOSITION TO MILITARY ACTIVITY

News from Washington today by wire as we'll as by mail correspondence received the last boat indicate that bitter resentment to administrations war pre- paraon is developing in congress- backed by the pacl- fciSt' element
 The espionage measure which 1t IS charged an at tack on free speech measures to increase the army and now the bill to give the president increased power to handle the German situation are being strongly opposed
 Big newspapers outside are accused of stirring up war feeling and it is minated that the munton makers are the real trouble makers.
 Such a situation always arises in time of stress and it takes cool head and careful thought to pick the real from the artificial causes for military activity.

IS ESCAPE "PEN"
Illinois COnvicts Make Sensa-
tiOnal Getaway at Joliet.
Saw Thru Cells and 3 Doors
8 Were Life Termers.

Joliet, ILL.,, Dec. 3.-Thirteen con-
victs escaped from the state peniten-
tiary here early today by saving or
cutting their way through steel bars
and then beating two guards into I'M
consciousness.
Guards in the two towers nearest
the east gate fired on the fleeing con-
victs as they disappeared over the
wall but none is believed to have been
hit. A large posse started after the
convicts who took a southerly di-
rection.
The thirteen men were in solitary
confinement for having caused dis
turbances last week in the cell houses
To escape they had to break out of
their individual cells, then saw
through two barred doors, and finally
through a heavy steel door which
leads into the solitary from the
prison corridor.
Albert Chanelli, a guard stationed
just inside the steel door, was beaten
into Inconsistencies, but not before
he had summoned John Carlson, night
captain of the guard with his cries.
Carlson, too, was beaten into -uncon-
seriousness. The men then climbed
the fifteen foot wall at the east gate.
They fled toward the Illinois and
Michigan canal and were lost in the
darkness.
Warden Murphy stated that the
men could not have escaped without
the assistance or connivance of come
body about the prism.
Three of the men were sentenced to
life imprisonment.

Her AcquittaI of Murder.
Slain Mans Kin Voluntarily
Give Up Little Jack.
EXPECTED A LEGAL BATTLE
Jury Acquits Defendant With
out Reference to Sanity.
Chilean Heiress Will Return to
Native Home With Son.

New York, Dec 3.-Little Jack De
Saulles is today with his mother, Mrs.
Blanca De Saulles, following her ac-
quittal of the charge of numbering
her divorced husband.
Relatives of the slain man agreed
not to oppose the mothers claim to
her boy.
His Return Surprise to Mother.
Roslyn, N. Y, Dec. 3.-John L. De
Saulles, jr.. Az years old. was re-
stored to the custody of his mother,
Mrs. Blanca De Saulles, who was ac-
quilted Saturday night by jury in
supreme court at Mineola of the
murder of her divorced husband at
his home near Westbury, l.. l., the
night of August 3.
The young Chilean woman had
just told a group of newspaper men,
who called at her home near here this
afternoon, that possession of her boy
was 1.-The only thing needed to make
my happiness complete" when a
motor car stopped in the driveway. A
moment later the boy rushed into his
mothers arms.
Mrs. De Saulles, as she had feared it
would be necessary to resort to legal
procedure to regain custody of her
child. Her attorney, Henry A. Utter
hart, in the absence of word from law
yers for the De Saulles family. had
been unable to give her any definite
word as to whether her right. to the
possession of the child would be dis
puted.
The boy, a precocious, chunkily
built little fellow with dark brown
ewes and hair of the same color, soon
indicated that he knew of his fathers
tragic death and that it was his moth
err who had done the shooting, al
though it was apparent he did not
fully comprehend the meaning of the
tragedy.
on the breast of the sailor blouse
the boy wore today was pinned a
deputy sheriff's badge, a gift of Sher-
iff Phineas Seaman of Nassau county,
in whose custody the mother was for
three months.
Jury Out Hour and AZ Minutes.
Mineola, Dec. Sit required but
one hour and forty-three minutes for
a jury in supreme court here Satur-
guilty in the trial of Mrs. Blanca De
SaulIeS for the murder of her divorced
husband. John L. De Saulles, former
Yale football star and club man, at
his home, near Westbury, L. l., the
night of August 3.
In the verdict, no reference what
ever was made to insanity. 1t was a
plea of temporary loss of accounta-
bility which formed the basis of the
defendants case.
Mrs. De Saulles who had main
tained an air of extreme self-posses-
sion throughout the two weeks of the
trial, received the verdict smiling.
She shook hands with each of the
jurors as they left the box and to
each gave nod of appreciation
At Vina del Mar, (the VINEYARD by

Santiago, Chile, is called, Mrs. De

Russian Collapse Renews Talk of Jap.
an Sending Soldiers.

Toxic, Dec. 3.-Japan is anxious to
hear what the supreme war council
and interallied war conference has de-
cided as to Nippon's future part in
the war.
The Russian Bolsheviki armistice
plans today brought about a renewal
of discussion of Japan sending troops
to the western fronts. 1t was believed
here that the Paris and Versailles con-
ferences formally considered such ad-
ditions to the allies fighting forces.
Japanese officialdom was frankly
eager to learn what decisions had been
reached at these meetings. Appar-
emily no report has been received
from Japan's ENJOYS. That the en-
pire will participate much more large
Iy in the war was regarded as certain
by the public.

Mail from Petrograd. has issued a

Nobody demands from the present

war Further steps in this direction
will bring the gravest complication,
the responsibility of which the govern
ment now disclaims."
