Hear Doom Pronounced

Richard alias "Ricky.' Harrison. no

All invalided Canadian soldier in the

TENDER, tried to sidestep the electric
chair yesterday morning by making an
attempt to escape from the .Tombs.
Two hours later he was sentenced by
Justice Weeks in the Criminal Term OF
the Supreme Court to die in the week
of March 10.
In some manner, now the subject of
an Investigation by Commissioners
Hamilton of the Department of Cor
rections. "Ricky" slipped out from
"Murderers Row" on the first tier Of
cells, and made his way into the prison
yard.
"a reached the prison wall on the
Centre Street side he said after his
adventure. "Friday ALWAYS was my
lucky day My foot slipped and fell
back. Sorry to have caused you 50
much trouble,' he added, turning to
Sheriff Knott, "but really ! had not OK
pected to see you again today"
Quest for Liberty Persistent
1t was "Ricky's" second bid for lib
erty. When he was arraigned last
October he eluded two deputy sheriffs
and coolly walked out Of the court
room. Twelve days later detectives
followed his sweetheart, Mildred Klein.
to Newark. where he was hiding, and
arrested him. 1t was principally
through the testimony Of the Klein girl
that the prosecution was able to CON
vict Harrison.
"Ricky's" absence from his cell was
first noticed when keepers went there
to lead him down to the visitors room
where he was to say goodby to his
young wife and his three yeai-old boy
Arrangements for the meeting had
been made by Warden Hanley the pre-
vious day. The latter had not arrived
when the prisoners cell was found
empty. Deputy Warden julius BrcmcI
at once notified Police Headquarters
that Harrison had escaped, and every
available detective who knew "Ricky'
was sent out to arrest him. Orders
were given to print extra copies OF
his picture, and in fifteen minutes the
dragnet was out.
Meanwhile keepers were racing
and guards in the yard were dashinp
madly through the allcyways and peer
ing into dark recesses. 1t was in the
kitchen annex, or dread room," in
the yard that they found him squattinp
down behind some -FOUR barrels. He
was breathing like a hunted hare anc

Heard Doom Calmly
Sheriff Knott personally escorted
Harrison over to the Criminal Courts
Building and placed extra deputies
around "Rickev" The latter made mr.
scene, however. He heard the death
sentnc pronounced without showing the
slightest concern. Later Sheriff Knott
permitted Harrison to say good by tc
his wife and child in the deputies
room above the Supreme Court room.
Harrison was convicted OF the muir

Farmers to Spend
SIO,O0O,OOO to Aid
Milk Distribution
Hope to Prevent Strikes in
Future by Taking Care
of Surplus in Spring
Through New Creameries

Seventy thousand dairy farmers of
New York and surrounding states are
preparing TO spend more than S1O,O0O,-
COO ON project which will bring them
one step nearer consumers, Albert T.
Manning, secretary Of the Dairymen's
League, announced yesterday. All milk
strikes of the future will be obviated
Mr.. Manning said and the city will be
assured of an adequate supply under
any conditions.
AS outlined by Mr.. Manning, the
plan provides for the erection Of nu-
merous manufacturing plant and milk
receiving stations by groups of farmers
throughout the state The distributors
control the receiving stations at pres
ent, owning the cans and paraphernalia
as we'll as the equipment of the cream
cries. The farmers intend to take over
these materials and processes, selling
the milk to the distributors at the
depots in New York City. In the
event of a strike. he said, the actual
delivery of the milk in the city will be
the only emergency operation neccs-
ary.
The chief differences between milk
producers and distributors have hinged
on the disposition OF the milk surplus"
said Mr.. Manning. From January to
July, the distributors must take more
milk, they say. than they can sell as
fluid. They assert they lose in the
manufacture OF butter, cheese and
other by-products.
perhaps By next year, distributors
Will be able to order only as much milk
as they can distribute as fluid We in
tend to construct manufacturing plants
which will take care Of all OF the sur
plus and return fair profit to the
farmers"
In 100 localities in the state, funds
have been raised for this work. The
system will be placed under unified
control to prevent duplication Of plants,
Mr.. Manning said
by table of figures, Mr. Manning
showed that the farmers viii have a
fair profit on the milk used For manu-
featuring. His figures, based or early
January prices, show that 100 pounds
Of milk can be made to yield:
