TWO PRISONERS
ESCAPE EFROM VAN
ON WAY TO JAIL

The police today are searching for
Robert E. Evans, seventeen years old.
and Samuel Robinson, colored, TWEEN
ty-four years old, who escaped from
the jail van yesterday by removing
a plank from the floor Of the horse
drawned vehicle while they with
six other prisoners were being con-
veyed from Police Court to the Dis
trict Jail.
That the other prisoners did not
escape from the van was due to the
prompt discovery OF the delivery by
Policeman John 7. Hatton, Of Fourth
precinct, and William l. Lucas, driv-
er OF the van. The two men got
through the floor of the van as II was
passing Seventeenth and E streets
southeast and already had a good
start when Policeman Hatton saw
them fleeing down Seventeenth street
This is the second time within four
months that prisoners being conveyed
in the van to the District Jail have
escaped.
Robinson was convicted in Police
Court yesterday of selling whiskey.
He was sentenced to four months i'm
prisonment and fined $500. Evans had
been convicted in Police Court on a
charge of vagrancy.

EXPECT TDRYRIDER
WILL GO OVER TO
THE NEXT SESSION

Opinion is divided in the Senate
whether wartime prohibition will be
voted on before the recess. Most Of
the leaders today said they thought
it likely 1t would go over together
with the entire food production bill,
to which 1t is an amendment.
Senator Gore does not want to
bring the food production bill up
until the agricultural bill, involving
$3.50 wheat, is disposed of. The agri-
cultural bill conferees are still trying
to reach an agreement, but at q
session last night failed to do so.
Senator Jones of Washington Is
threatening to block a recess and
flibuster against one unless there is
a vote on the food production bill
and wartime prohibition. On the
other hand, opponents Of wartime
prohibition are prepared to flibuster
against it II necessary to delay a
vote.
Should the prohibition question
come up, the FIRST move OF the oppo-
sition of an important character will
probably be to raise 4 point Of order
against IL.
The situation as to the food pro-
duction bill and wartime prohibition
is complicated by the fact the out
look as to q recess Is uncertain.
Speaker Clark says the proposed re-
cess has gone glinmering. Other
leaders are still working for one.
