WOMAN AND BOY BROKE JAIL
Bessie Cook and I3-Year-Old Son
Escape.

Bessie Cook, who was in Jail here
charged with the tf1eft OF horse, and
her thirteen-year- son, John James
Cook, charged with housebreaking,
broke Jail some time early Wcdnes-
day morning and departed for parts
unknown.
Escape was made by prying out
board in the wall and digging out the
one course of bricks remaining be-
tween them and freedom. Why there
was only one course OF bricks on the
outside wall at this point and why
the board on the inside instead of
bricks, no one seems to know. Sher-
if Baker said that the county has
made no changes ter4ling to make the
Jail more secure, since he has been in
office and that condition existed when
he took charge OF the Jail He says
the last Grand Jury recommended
steel lining for the interior OF the Jail
but although that was many months
ago nothing has been done to that
end.
1t is thought that the woman and
boy were aided by outside parties and
made their escape in car. Two
strange men went to the Jail at about
GAS Tuesday evening and requested
to be allowed to visit the prisoners.
Mrs. Otis Baker, who was there
alone informed them that no was
there to admit them, and after stand
ing on the porch for a few minutes.

might have been slipped to the wo-
man through the mesh of the window
grating After gaining her liberty,
the woman stopped long enough to
replace the bricks in the hole.
Nearby towns were notified i'm
mediateiy upon the discovery of the
escape and a description OF the pris-
oners sent out.
Ttc woman is OF medium height,
about IS years OF age, wei CHS I35 to
40, dark complexion, black. coarse
hair, black eyes, with the whites of
her eyes prominent. Wore white

ribbon, white waist, black skirt, white
stockings and black pumps.
The boy is l3 years old. medium
height for age. light brown hair, grey
eyes, long slender face, bumpy skin.
Wore gray check suit, knee pants.
The sheriff was forced to keep the
woman on the first floor of the Jail
because the upper floor and cages
were occupied by men prisoners and
permitted ~ woman and the boy to
occupy the corridor instead of the
cells because of the absence of light
and ventilation in the cells. The cells
on the lower floor are seldom used
in summer because of the intolerablc

ATTACKED IN REICHSTAG
Government Accused Of GiVing Err.

Zeebrugge Raid.

AMSTERDAM, April 27.-A carefully
censored report of 1.-The discussion at
yesterdays session Of the main COM
mittee Of the reichstag in Berlin does
not conceal the fact that there were
lively expressions of dissatisfaction
with the military administration. Herr
Scheidemann, the majority socialist
leader, complained that information
given the. committee regarding the
events at Zeebrugge were "at least err
roneous.". He attacked the war press
department for "gaggins the PRESS"
and for preventing the criticism of
"stupidities.'
He also referred to discomfort in the
Ukraine and the refusal OF the military
to allow representatives Of the border
peoples to place complaints before the
German government.
Herr Gothein, progressive. declared
that the military measures taken In the
Ukraine would not achieve their OBJ

PRINCE LICHNOWSKY MUST
FACE A CRIMINAL COURT
Former German Envoy to London
Accused Of Divulging Dip
lomatic Secrets.

AMSTERDAM. April 27.-The Prus-
sian upper house. according to advioes
received here from Berlin today, has de-
cided to grant the request Of the first
state attorney Of district court No. 1
of Berlin for authorization to under
take criminal proceedings against
Prince Lichnowsky. German ambassa-
dor at London when the war broke out.
The prince is to be prosecuted for tho
publication of his disclosures OF Aus
tro-German responsibility for the war.
The state attorney considered that the
fact that Prince Lichnowsky communi-
Gated to third parties documents or
their contents officially intrusted to
him by his superiors infringed the se-
crecy incumbent on him.
The princes solicitors supported the
request of the state attorney, saying
that Lichnowsky had a great interest In
the fact being impartially cleared up,
as they often had been distorted.

In order to meet with any measure Of
