Prisoners Helped By
 Outsiders Prison Garments Were Dis carded in Jail Kitchen
 For "Civies.' GUARD LEFT HIS
 OBSERVATION POST Believed Friends of Cap tives Took the Men Away
 In An Automobile.

That Albert Swain and Steve Vecesey had confederates on the out side who helped them escape from the county jail yesterday is the be- lief of County Sheriff Pease, who has discovered that the two men left their prison garments in the Jail kitchen. It is believed that friends of Swain and Vecesey waited in an automobile near the jail and speeded them away when they escaped from the Jail kitchen by forcing the lock of the door.
 It is probable that civilian clothes had been smuggled in that the fugitives were able to don them when they prepared to leave. One of the jail attaches has an observation post from which he watches the inmates while they are at meals. If he had been on duty at breakfast yesterday he would have seen the two men tampering with the door. He was absent for a short time, however, and in the brief interval the flight took place.

Bad Weather Prevented Flight; Told They Had

New York, July 25-A strike of aerial mail pilots began today, no aviator appearing to take out the plane with Chicago mail, due to start for Bellefont, Pa. at a.. m.
 The strike, the first of its kind in the country, follows the refusal of the postoffice department to reinstate two pilots discharged for refusing to take out planes Tuesday on account of the fog. Postoffice officials at Belmont Park, Long Island, the landing field for mail planes, stated that they had received instructions not to discuss the situation.
 A protest against the dfscharge of the two pilots, Leon Smith and Hamil- ton Lee, was sent to Second Assistant Postmaster General Praeger on We'd nesday giving him 24 hours to make known his decision. MT. Praeger in his reply, which was received by the aviators last night announced that had not been revoked. They came into the service" MT. Proager's tele-

 Attorney Jacob Goodhart of New Haven, counsel for Mrs. Rundle. has made objection to the date of the hearing. He wishes to have it post poned until August IS. This is op- posed by Attorney J. Moss Ives of Danbury, counsel for Bundle.
 Attorney Ives several weeks ago asked for the appointment of a com mtttee because he said his client is old and in feeble health. He charged that Mrs. Run'dae as atempting to de- lay the trial. Rundle has filed a cross complaint, accusing his fife of inf delity and naming Sidney A. Toovey, her former husband, as correspondent.

 Investigation develops the fact that an automobile truck swerved at the corner and crashed into a telephone pole carrying the wires, breaking It off few feet above the ground.

SENATE WILL NOT GET |. FRENCH TREATY UNTIL
 AFTER NATIONAL TOUR
CLAMOR THAT SPECIAL PACT BE GIVEN TO SENATE FAILS TO BUDGE WILSON
 COURTS SENATORIAL WRATH.

Washington, July 25-Presi- dent Wilson does not now plan to present the defensive treaty with France to the Senate until after he returns from his tour of the country. This state ment was made today at the White House. When the Pres ldent presents the treaty he will accompany it with an ex- planatory address to the Senate.
 Continuation of debate on the League of Nations in the Senate to- day gave promise of being enlivened by another clash over Wilson's fail ure to submit the treaty for ratifi- cation.
 It was thought likely that during the day Chairman Lodge of the For eign Relations Committee, would call up his resolution requesting the President to submit the treaty which published texts have shown to con- tain a provision that it must be pre- sented to the Senate "at the same time as tNe treaty with Germany. The latter was submitted two weeks ago.
 No statement was made at the White House with regard to charges in the Senate yesterday that the President had violated a section of the treaty by not presenting it sim, ultaneous with the treaty of Yer sailles.
 There seemed to be some doubt at the White House today whether all Republican Senators would be invited to confer with the President No. further appointments had been made today and so far as could be learned Senator Warren of Wyoming and one or two other Senators were all that the President planned to see in the Immediate future.
 The President was in his study early today and among the many matters before him was the prepara- ton of Information and documents relating to the peace negotiations re- quested by the Senate. A vast num- Der of papers have to be separated from the Presidents personal docu- ments and this work was expected to consume much time.
 Indications today were that the President would start on his west ward trip about August 10th, although it was made clear this was tentative. depending on developments.
