MAN WHO BROKE JAIL IS NAbbED
 AT KINGIMAN
JIM MURPHY, BOOTLEG GER, WHO SAWED WAY OUT OF LOCAL HOOSE- COW, IS BACK IN HIS OLD QUARTERS.
(From Tuesdays Dailv.l


 By doing a bot of clever sleuthing, Undershcriff Johnnie Robinson was enabled on Sunday to place within the bars in the Yavapai county jail James K. Murphy, one of the four men who escaped from that institution on March l2th, the man having been ar rested on Saturday by Sheriff Cohc- nour at Kingman at the request of Mir. Robinson.
 Murphy and three otker prisoners escaped from jail here by saving out bar and taking to the hills. None of the others have as yet been ap- prehendcd, although the officers be- lieve that at least two more of them will eventually be nabbed. Accord ing to the story told by Murphy, he lit out through the rain which was falling on the day of the escape, go- ing in the direction of Skull Valley. He walked part of the way on the railroad track, and part of the time on the highway, keeping off the road during the daytime. At Skull Valley he was picked up by a passing autoist, and hauled to Wickcuburg. There he took the train 10 Wcndcn, and then made his way up to Parker and from there to Needles. From Needles he went to Kingman. His fatal mistake was made. however, when he wrote to one of his pals in Prescott to for ward his suitcase. The suitcase was started off for San Bcrnardino, and the cops having had their eye on the baggage. notified tine chief of police in the California city to watch for the man who claimed that particular piece of luggage. When the case had arrived at San Berdoo, a stranger came up and got it and rc-chcckcd it to Kiugman. The Kingman cops were told to get busy, and last Satur- day when the suitcase came into that place, the sheriff was hanging around and grabbed Murphy when he at tempted to claim il from the Santa Fc.
 Murphy was lodged in the King man booby hatch, and no sooner had inc cell door closed behind him until some of his associates on the outside began a movement to rescue the man. On Saturday night the watchman at the jail noticed a Suspicious-looking character ha~~iug around the jail, a,-, ,.- r ,atc',ing him for some time, hc .ound ths. an effort was being made to pass six saws mp into the second story where Musphy was con fined The man was arrested and is now held on a charge of attempting to aid in a jail delivery. Robinson sent man to Kingman on Sunday to take charge of Murphy, and the cop and the prisoner arrived here ycstcr- day morning.
 Murphy had been held in the Pres colt jail on a charge of bootlcgging, and will now have an additional charge of jail breaking hanging over his head.

NORMAL STUDENTS ISSUE APPEAL TO
 PEOPLE OF STATE

We. the student body of the North crn Arizona Normal School, want to have a heart to heart talk with the people of Arizona about the dismiss sal of our president, Doctor K. II. II. Blomc.
 There are about three hundred of Us. and among that number there was only one who was not fully sat isiicd with his administration, even to the point oi striking for a hearing for our president. Think back or your school days-did you have a teacher that could get one entire class to like him? Then what an eX- ccptional man for the head of a large institution Is one that is admired and loved as is Doctor Blome.
 Cur parents know whether or not we are learning our lessons and be- ing trained to be good men and wo- men. Only one parent disapproved and took his child home when we went on strike Would our parents have allowed us 10 go that far to up- hold a man that was not making good:"
 We have been here from one to four years, and Flagstaff Is not a very large town, so we know quite well what Is going on. Several of our students knew Mir. Hcnncsscy felt rcveugciul toward Doctor Blome from the way the HcnncsScy boys talked and acted They never be- haved as they should have, and Doc tor Blomc rightfully sent one of them home. It IS understood in Flagstaff that Mir. Hcnncsscy asked Governor Hunt to appoint him as a member of the Normal school board, and as soon as he was appointed we knew ii meant trouble for Doctor Blonc. Mir. HcnnCSscy Is anything but the kind of man that should be allowed to act as member of a school board. We are confident he sought the position to get even with Doctor Blomc. If so good a Normal school president Is to be dis missed over petty personal troubles when most of the people of the State, and of Flagstaff, too, realize and appreciate his worth. ii Is time for me CljlLCuS or -AIlLOlld ID aOL- The board discharged Doctor BlomC without ever even visiting the Nor nal school to ascertain existing con- ditions.
 Citizens have told Us that when AIT. McGoniglc went on the board he was in favor of retaining Doctor BIomc, but when he made trip to Phoeuix. someone changed him 10 the other side. Doctor BlOme has been here ninc years Mir. MCGoniglc has had three daughters attend our Normal school during that time, and he was also 9 contractor on one of the Normal buildings. If there was anything wrong with Doctor Blomc he knew fl before Inc went to PhOc- nix. Someone evidently did some wire pulling" on him when he was there.
 Mir. Case, the State superintendent of schools, is the third member Of the board He was opposed to dis missing our president The super intendcnt is experienced in cduca- tional work and we think the other two members should have listened tO him for that reason, and also for the reason that he Is elected by and rep

rcsents the people of the whole State, and only the Governor appoints the other two members.
 The board gave as an excuse for dismiSsing Doctor Blomc that he IS pro-Gcrman. We know he is not pro-Gcrman. He lives in the boys dormitory, cats in the dining hall, is with Us during school hours, and we, as good Americans, could very quickly detect it were he disloyal. One of his sons is a first lieutenant in the United States army another IS awaiting his call Their father is as willing and proud to have his boys go as any father we know. The first students from the State schools to en- list were from this school and Doc tor Blomc encouraged their cnlisting. Judge Perkins, Mir. George Bab- bitt, Mir Pollock and Mr Dolan, former members of the board, were opposed to Doctor Blome's dismissal Some oi them had been on the board as long as four years, and every one of them Is better qualified to know a good school executive than the pres Cnt members.
 Some maintain that as the board had the right of dismissal, the citi- zcns and students cannot change 1t We know we cannot, but we think the voters can ii they will. The board dismissed Doctor BlOmC on the 9th of March, and their ac- ton was not made public until siN days later. On Monday, the 18th they hurricdly met in Phoenix tc elect the new president instead ot meeting m the school building as the law provides. Me SurIuised thciI scheme, and on Sunday. the Hth. s committee, comprised of three citi- zcns and three students, tclceraphcd a request tC the board and also tC Governor Hunt to not make thcil action final or appoint successor until the citizens had time to present petitions and to be heard. They ig- norcd their request and proceeded as though no one had a right to be heard Both the Constitution oi Arizona and the Constitution of tin, United States of America say the right oi petition shall not be abridged. In defiance of our request their nasty action was surely ar abridsemcnt of the right of petition Was ii not:
 Now. wc feel that when he Wa: succeeding SO well, Doctor Blomc was at least entitled to a hearing be fore he was dismissed, and that il is 2n outrage to him and an insult to Us to thus brand an American as pro- German.
 IT our State educational institu- tions arc not 10 be wrecked on the rocks of political intrigue and per sonal malice, the citizens of Arizona must now assert their rights and up hold those who take their part against these injusticcs.

war lasts the kaiser's grip is slipping and it can't be long before he will have to come to an agreement, which will be favorable to the allies. Natur- ally, the sooner that time comes the better we will like 1t, but we also mean to keep on pushing until he is forced to give in, if it takes ten years to do it.
 l was certainly sorry to hear of the fires, as l know their effect on business will be bad even after the real financial loss has been remedied to a fair degree Martha says the main street looks like Belgium must look. We'll, I don't know much about Belgium. but l do know how occu- pied France looks. The manner in which the Hun has treated captured villages is certainly horrible. Homes, whether great or small, have either been blown up with mines or de- stroyed by gun fire. Even this was not enough to satisfy the barbarians' taste, so after he had removed ev-
 
 churches he fired the buildings and allowed them to burn until all the inflammable matter was exhausted. The only way town can be recog- nized is by series of signs posted by the military authorities after the Boche is run out

 Tell Uncle P. R. I picvked up a little souvenir in a captured dugout which may prove interesting to him. I am going to try and send it across as soon as I get back. For goodness sake, though, tell him not to feel dis appointed if it doesn't reach him, as packages run about fifty-fifty chance of ever reaching their destina- tion. I may bring some things back with me, but the amount will be very, very small, as everything we pick up means that much more to carry on our backs, so we don't pick up an awful lot.
