would be made to rescue him.
IAN impression of the key to the
rear gate was secured.
THE sentries about the rear of the
prison were a grave menace to the
plans, and the committee tried to find
girls in the neighborhood who could be
employed to influence them. This at
tempt was given up. however, and
finally a Telegram was sent to Dublin
for two handsome young women both
highly cultured university graduates
THE girls deliberately set out to
flirt with the soldiers and soon came
to know most of the guards. De
Valera was informed by code in a
letter that February 3 was set for his
escape and the procedure to be follow
ed was outlined as much as possible.
"In the dusk shortly after 4 o'clock
the girls appeared and enticed the
guards from the rear of the prison
as far as possible. These two Sim
Feiners quickly cut path thru the
barbed wire.

McGarry and Millroy (the two Sim
Feiners who escaped with De Valera)
sauntered to the back gate. Their
friends outside crept up and opened
the gate with the false key while

HOW HE COT OUT
Escape of Edward De Valera
From Prison Told.
O'Cealligh, Who Wants Irish
Recognized, Gives Tale.

Paris, March 1.-While the newspa-
pers of the United Kingdom are still
specializing over the mysterious escape
from Lincoln prison in England of
Edward Devalera. the Sim Fein lead
er, the manner in which he executed
his break from captivity February
has been known here. 1t was related
to the Associated Press by Sean
O'Cealligh, the prominent Sim Feiner,
who is here asking the peace confer
ence to recognize the provisional gov
eminent of the Irish republic, having
crossed the channel on passport Sc

twelve comrade was sent to Lincoln
prison. the other Sim Feiners being
distributed in order not to concentrate
them at one Jail Because of De-
valera's importance. the strictest
watch was maintained upon the prison.
No friend or relative was allowed to
see him or his comrades. The most
stringent censorship possible was
maintained over their mail and both
outgoing and incoming letters had to
pass thru London for inspection. 1t
may be seen, therefore, that it was
most difficult to get word to Devalera
concerning his escape.

1.-THE feeling in Ireland is intense
because these men against whom no
charges have been preferred should

was appointed to take charge of the
question of the release of the incar-
cerated comrades and the first result
of that committees activity was the
escape of Devalera.
Difficult to Reach Him.
1.-The committee selected a number
of men for the job who had been tried
by fire and who would not be too timid
in case there was gunplay. The first
task was to survey the prison and dis
cover the possibilities of forceful
coup. The prison lay in an isolated
part of the town. The rear looked
out on large open space. Just out
side the back gate was a small patch
of ground on which the prisoners were
allowed to exercise under guard
This place was surrounded by a
series of barbed wire entanglements
Several armed wardenS watched the
prisoners while they were out. and at
sunset force of military was thrown
about the prison. Because of this mil
itary it was decided to be unwise to try
to IRISH the place for fear of loss of life
and the probable death of Devalera.
THE next move was to communi-
cate with Devalera, which was very
difficult. However, one Sim Feiner
working on a garden plot attracted
Devalera's attention ona day by sing

of the state board of agriculture, pro-
poses this slogan for general adoption
by the formers of Kansas for farm
machine repair week." which starts
next Monday. The week of March
has been designated as Repair Week
thruout the nation by Secretary Hous-
ton, of the United State department of
agriculture, and Secretary Mohler
thinks that such a campaign is
especially apropos in Kansas, consider
ing the states vital agricultural inter
ests.
Reports indicate Repair Week will
meet with considerable success said
Secretary Mohler, but strange as it
may seem. the great trouble appears
to be to interest the farmer himself.
He is the very man who has the most
at stake.
Conditions have changed in the
last year or two which the farmer
should realize at once. I have refer
ence especially to the fact that because
of the very high price of repairs and
parts of farm machinery, many deal
ers find it impossible to carry in stock
anything like the assortment they
formerly did They used to carry
machine parts on a commission basis.
Now they have to pay cash for them.
The risk of accommodating parts which
will become obsolete, makes it neces-
sary to exercise great care in order

$50 it behooves the farmer to put
in his orders early. 1t will mean
saving of money for him, rather than
to put in an emergency order later
and have to pay telephone or tele-
graph tolls, parcels post or express
charges, etc.
Farmers everywhere will be doing
themselves a service if they get out
their machinery and carefully go over
it now and repair it for spring and
summer work. Those who will do so
pairs are needed. and it is going to
be more difficult this year to get
repairs than ever before. To put off
these needed repairs now will mean
less of time and money and much

REPEAL POLL TAX
Senate Votes Favorably on Bill
killing 1917 Measure.
Few Important Bills Up Today
Many Senators Home.

Excuses were granted with a lib
eral hand to the members of the Kan
sas senate who asked to be allowed
to go home today and the result was
that only measures of minor impor-
lance were taken up during the morn
ing session. However, considerable
work was done on the calendar.
The whole of Friday afternoon was
spent by the senate in working as a
committee of the whole and a total of
seventeen bills were recommended for
passage. The most important of these
was the Hickey bill providing for the
repeal of the poll tax. This measure
came up during the early days of the
session and was killed by the commit
tee of the whole, but Senator Hickey
finally got it back on the calendar and
patiently waited until he thought the
members would be in a favorable
frame of mind. Apparently the Usage
senator is a good judge of human ma
ture and human moods, as when he
permitted the bill to come up the sec
ond time it was recommended for
passage with little opposition.
Hickey holds that poll tax is an
injustice and discrimination and an
abomination. He cannot see why cities
of the first class should have the poll
tax law applied, if other cities and the
rural districts have it, and he cannot
see why it would not be as well to
place the poll tax at $40 as at So.
Take Up Banking Bills.
A number of banking bills were
taken up during the afternoon, so
marked: When we have finished
with the banking legislation I think
we will have done enough to Justify
us in going home"
The banking bills recommended for
passage are as follows:
BY committee on banks and banking
Money deposited in trust must pay interest
to persons for whom deposit was made.
By committee banks and banking
Makes it a felony for making or use of
false statements to obtain property on
credit.
a bank to actual damage for non payment
of check in error.
By committee on banks and banking
Gives state banks right to exercise trust
powers the same as national banks. being
the right to act as trustee. executor, admin
istrator. registrar of stocks and bonds.
Changing procedure that trust COM
panies holding bank stock may designate
one of its stockholders to represent it and
act as owner of the stock.
An omnibus claims and accounts
bill was brought up by Senator Laing
and caused considerable discussion, es-
pecially over the furniture that has
been used by the state council of de-
tense, and the railroad fares expended
by the members of this war organiza-
ton. Railroad fares expended by eX-
Governor Hodges. Henry Bennett and
W. c. Edwards while making trips in
the interest of the council of defense
were taken out of the bill by Laing.

have the items to reimburse them re-
stored, but was unsuccessful.

ALTRUISM AND BUSINESS
Why Not Spend League of Nations
Money Here, Says Kansan.

When one listens to the Utopian
scheme of a league of nations and how
we are to expend billions on the a1tru-
istic plan of helping Europe, one can
but wonder why a few millions
expended in the altruistic scheme of
helping ourselves and the Western
hemisphere seems to be lost in the
great wave of altruism.
Profiting by our experience in build
ing the Union Pacific at the close of
the Civil war, building up an empire
in the west, opening up lands later
to our returned soldier boys of '65
why is the vast empire south of the
Rio Grande and all our great oppor-
tunities in South America overlooked?
A comparatively few millions expend-
ed in a Pan-American railway, con-
meeting US by rail with all the great
empires of South America would de-
velop greater empire than did the
Union Pacific, would tie us in bonds
of friendship steel and commerce with
South America, and add to and give
solid basis to our Monroe doctrine and
leave Europe to a United States of

road would, thru the bonds of

tractive our motives, can never do.

The Pan-American railway, even If
it did not pay it's way for a few years

future. Suppose we build the road
and give it to the several nations, to
be operated thru their respective terri
tories under the control of supervision
of the United States, with their
guarantees of non-interference, and
the right of police by the United
States, all of which could be obtained
by treaties. Would this not be a
magnificent gift, worthy of the United
States and the great nations thru
which it passed, and a tie which would
bind the Western hemisphere in an
iIrdissoluble bond? This would be not
only altruistic, but good business.
