z ESCAPES DAILY,
ASYLUM'S SEWERAGE

An average Of two inmates escape
each day from the Government Hos
pital for the Insane.
Police records, which are incom-
plete. show that since August / the
hospital authorities have reported to
the police the escape OF thirty-six
inmates.
The hospital authorities do not re-
port to the police all escapes, and de-
cline to make public official hospital
records on the subject, but it is known
that recently an average OF about
sixty patients have escaped from the
institution each month.
The escape OF three more inmates
vas reported yesterday. Tncy are
Charles NJ. Schamberger, twenty years
old; Frank Miller, fifty years old, and
Herman Rankin, twenty years old.
All are sailors.
The police report OF the departure
OF the men from the hospital shows
that they escaped, but officials at the
hospital object to the use OF the word
escape and say that the men walked
away"
DIR. William A White, superintend.
ent of the hospital, today assured The
Times that the Three patients who
walked away" are not dangerous.
and are suffering only from mental
disorders of a minor character.
DR.. White says the numerous es-
capes are due to the inability of the
hospital to obtain a sufficient number
Of orderlies and guards to patrol the
grounds.
The draft has robbed the hospital
Of large number of its employees and
DR.. White says it has become difficult
to replace these men.
He said, however. that inmates al
lowed to walk about the grounds of
the institution are not desperate
characters, usually being patients who
need outdoor life as an aid to a
cure. Most OF those who walk away,
he said, are returned by relatives.
There are many, he admitted. who
never return and are never located
by the police or hospital authorities.
THE case of Lieut.. True T.. Bur-
CESS is an isolated one" he said. I'VE
never did and do not now think the
lieutenant dangerous. The trouble
with him was that he was not I'M
derstood."
Lieutenant Burgess is the army
medical corps officer wba locked
himself in a room in the Metropolitan
Hotel and defied the police for more
than twenty-fOur hours.
Il would like IL understood, Said
DIR. White, that this hospital is not a
prison. We have got away from the
idea of keeping mentally affected per
sons locked up day and night. Out
door life is a great cure for patients
of even temper. Dangerous patients
are not permitted to be at large. They
are constantly under guard, and have
no chance to escape. But we do not
call it escape when a patient who en-
joys the privilege OF the hospital
grounds walks away. II such a pa
tient was thought to be violently in
sane he would be kept indoors or I'M
der guard. We have not enough
guards and orderlies to patrol the
grounds to keep tab on all the pa
tients and the inmates, therefore have
opportunities to walk off"

 The Somme front has been threat ening to break out into its former furious activity for several days past but aside from the recent thrust by the French which gained them com. manding ground in the Avre sector, southeast of Amiens, and similar op- erations by the British around Villers- Bretonneux, just to the north, the fighting has been left almost entirely to the artillery: The big guns are still booming threateningly in the Avre region and elsewhere around the great Montdidier salient, however.

REVIEW GIVES FREE ALUMINIUM WARE FOR
 NEW SUBSCRIBERS

As a means to stimulate the pay ment of yearly subscriptions, thereby cutting down office expense, the Bis bee Daily Review is giving with each yearly paid in advance subscription a valuable kitchen utensil. The premium is a solid aluminium double boiler These boilers are sold in the local stores at S2.25 each. but owing to our having purchased considerable quan- tity some time ago. we are able to offer this very desirable piece of kitch- enware absolutely free of charge.
 This should appeal to every house wife. They know well the value of aluminium, it's long life, durability, and excellent cooking qualities. The ease with which it can be kept clean and bright is another factor in its popular ity. On each paid in advance subscFip- tion for one year saving of Sl.50 is made besides the useful premium.

HART LIKES ID PLAY
 PART OF BADMAN IN
 PHOTOPLAYS OF WEST

William s. Hart, who stars in "The Apostle of Vengeance" at the Central theater today, was raised on the plains of North Dakota among the Sioux h. dians, so he knows something about making them true to life. But while his delineations constitute a wide gal lery of western figures. he prefers one special type. This is the western bad man.
 '1 like him best" says MT. Hart because he is the most maligned per son west of the Mississippi. and l en- joy presenting him from the angle that shows him for what he really is. I knew some famous western bad men in the early days of the DakOtas, but I never met one whose badness was indicative of the real man.
 A Billy West comedy feature will help enliven the bill.

 TIL HE GAVE OUT
Lost 2S Pounds and Could Hardly Walk - Tanlac Restores Health
 and Weight.

"A medicine that will get a man up out of he'd and increase his weight twenty-six pounds in a few weeks time. is certainly we'll worth talking about and I'm willing for the whole world to know that this is what Tan lac has done for me-" was the char acteristic statement made by ChristO- pher P. Jones. a grading foreman for the Missouri. Kansas & Texas railroad. living at 1922 Mckee street. Dallas. Texas. recently. Mr. Jones is a prOmi- nent member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, also an active Yeoman. and is we'll known throughout this section.
 Up to year and a half ago" con tinued MT. Jones, my health was al- ways good. I weighed one hundred and seventy pounds and hardly knew my strength. But my stomach got in such bad fix that my food would sour and commenced to have bilious shells and headaches. Then deveIoped sciatic rheumatism and the pain in my left hip and leg was frightful. Some times at night. when I turned over in bed, the pain would almost make me cry, and at tlmes my head felt like it would split it ached SO bad. I was also. badly constipatad and had that sluggish, tired feeling all the. .time. I tried numbers of treatments, lini- ments. ointments and every kind of medicine I read of or heard about. I even ITesOrted to mineral baths. but kept on getting worse until I had to lie on the bed most of my time.
 When I took my first dose of Tan lac l weighed only one hundred and twenty-eight pounds-and when I fin ished my fifth bottle of Tanlac I had gained it all back except two pounds. l now weigh one hundred and sixty eight pounds and Tanlac has relieved my pain and limbered me up until I can climb the tallest ladder ever built could work on a scafford if neces-

 ticularly acrimonious and appeared that the government virtually had lost its majority when the Polish delegates. desperately resisting the secession of part of their province to Ukrania, joined with the Czechs and Bohemians who had long consistently opposed the government because of the refusal to grand them neutrality.
 Ever since the convocation of the Reichsrath a year ago the Slav depu- ties have shown decided opposition to the governments policies hamper ing it in increasing tie army and rais. ing loans. United action. however, was lacking, and the government was able to retain g majority in parliament.
 Information reaching here now, how ever, is that the Czech Jugo-Slav and Polish deputies have formed a com pact block to oppose the policies of the Germanic Austrians. The adhesion of the three elements into cohesive group would give them a majority and fear of this is believed to be the real reason why Emperor Charles 'has or dered parliament dissolved.

VINDICT|VE'S CAPTAIN DESCRIBES
 ATTACK ON zEEDRUGCEE DEFENSES

this expedition was that we could not | have open practice of what we con | templated doing for fear the enemy might get information of the plan. "All the men were tuned up to. a high pitch and it was with very anx- ious hearts that We waited for a suit able time to strike, knowing that eY- cry day We waited there was a great CT chance of our secret leaking out.
 Viaduct Blown Up
 "Fifteen minutes after the Vindic' tive arrived alongside the mole, our submarine exploded under the viaduct connecting the mcle with the main land The Germans had sent a con- siderable force to this viaduct as soon as the submarine arrived and these men were gathered on the viaduct at tacking our submarine with machine guns. When the explosion occurred the viaduct and Germans were blown up together. The crew of the sub- marine, consisting of six men, es- capped on board a dingy motor launch.
 Early in the fighting a German shell knocked out our howitzer which had been getting in some good shots on a big German seaplane stationed on the mole half a mile away. This is the largest seaplane station in Bel gium. Unfortunately, our other guns could not be brought to bear on it.
 The shell which disabled the how tiger killed all the members of the gun crew. Many men also were killed by a German shell which hit the mole close to our ship and scattered frag- ments of steel and stone among the marines assembling on the deck around the gangway-
 "The German fire was very hot all the time we lay alongside the mole. At times the German guns reached as high as 40 shots a minute. During the hottest part of the fighting l left my station in the flame house and went all around the ship to see how things were going. The spirit of the men was excellent. All they asked was, Are We winning?'
 Half an hour after the block ships went in we received the signal to withdraw The Vindictive's siren was then blown and the men returned from all parts of the mole and thronged down the gangway. We put off after having laid alongside just about an hour. The Germans made no effort to interfere with our geta- way other than to continue their hea- wy firing"
 The heaviest casualties of the ex- petition appeared to have been inflict ed on the personnel of the Iris, many on board being killed by shell which burst on deck. Of the casualties on this vessel more than a third were killed.
 Funeral services for the men who were lost will be held here tomorrow. A memorial service for Captain H. C. Hallihan, who commanded the sea mems storming party, was held today.

MERCY FUND CONTINUES TO
GROW-RECENT RED CROSS
DRIVE NETS 500, 439,29I

Washington, June 3-The American
Red Cross second war mercy fund
now totals $166 ,439,291, with indica-
tons that when all reports from the
drive of a week ago are tabulated, a
$40 100000 over-subscrlption of the
800 900, 900 goal will be shown.
In announcing these figures tonight,
Henry p. Dawson, Chairman of the
Red Cross War Council, said the re-
turns show that more than 47,OOO,OOO
Americans-nearly half the total pop
ulation of the country-contributed
Those giving to the first fund last year
Numbered only about 100000.
Not only did every Red Cross divi-
sion in the country over-subscribed,
but one, the Gulf, turned in more than
three times the amount of its quota,
while five others, the Atlantic, Noun
tai, Northwestern, Southern and
Southwestern, more than doubled
their allotments.
The insular and foreign division
quadrupled its 100000 quota. Every
state attained its goal, five more than
tripled 1t and 16 others and the Dis
trict Columbia more than doubled
their allotments.
"The supreme feature of this ach-
ievement," said Mr.. Davison's state
ment, sis to be found not in the
amount of money subscribed, but in
that it came from every part of the

towns, its farms, its factories, from

Leased For Mining

Much Of the land In Shaker Bend
across the river from Jessamine coun-
ty has been leased to a New York COM
pany which proposes to mine for cal
cite, fuorspar and other minerals, to
be found in the limestone foundations
of this land. This company expects
to put in large reduction plant with
a capacity Of 200 tons daily and will
tunnel through the hills for distance
of two miles. They began operations
last Monday morning on the MCGEE
branch on the lands of R. S. Coghill
and will tunnel under the farms of NJ
d. Gordon and his mother about 20
feet below the surface. There is fine
prospect for these minerals in that
district and there is big demand for
them at a good price. The operation
of the plant contemplated will mean a
large development for Shaker Bend
and will give employment at high
wages for many men.-Wilmore En-
