WIRES KNIGHT BOARD THAT HE

BECAUSE HE LOST A SHIP.

| Washington, Jan. ii.-Commander
! David Worth Bagley, brother in-l law
/ of Secretary Daniels, has cabled the
navy department requesting that his
name be considered only for such dec
Grafton as was conferred upon all cap
tains of destroyers serving in the war
zone.

him the distinguished service medal

Il request that my name be given
consideration only for such decoration
as was awarded to all captains of de-
stroyers that served in the war zone"
: Commanders of destroyers serving in
the war zone were awarded the navy
cross.
Secretary Daniels said today the
message would be referred directly to
the Knight board, now reconsidering
the whole question of naval awards,
for such action as the board might
see fit.

had charged that Commander Bagley

medal because of the favoritis1n of
Secretary Daniels and that the wide
spread publication of the report had
made the continuation of the dis
charge Of his duties as naval attache
extremely difficult and embarrassing.
lie requested the department to OBJ
tain a denial from Admiral Sims and
to make an effort to gain widespread
publicity for it.
In his letter to Secretary Daniels
declining to accept a distinguished
service medal awarded him, Admiral
Sims made no reference to any spe-
cific case of awards of navy decora-
tions, but did express objection to
the awarding of distinguished service
medals to officers who lost their ships
while officers on his staff for whom
he had recommended the DISTINGUISHED

Youth Tries for Third Time in His
Career to Escape the Hands
of Justice.

Earl Morrison. 20-year-old burg
lar and notorious character in the
tri-cities before being committed to
the Pontiac reformatory. made his
third attempt to escape the hand OF

Morrison was working in the
open yesterday morning. only sep
arated from the outside world by
q 2-story hospital building. = This
he attempted to scale by means of
the bars on the window. thinking to
drop over to the other side and
make a dash for freedom. However
a guard saw him before the top OF
the hospital was reached, fired at
him with rifle, and scared the boy
into returning to confinement.
Twice before Earl made Attempts
to escape, both OF them being more
successful than this one. He was
q member Of the gang Of five who
broke Jail and escaped from the
local county institution early last
spring, being recaptured at Eldon,
Iowa. March 9. A few days later
he was taken in charge by Deputy
Sheriff ]. C. Works to be escorted
to Pontiac for a sentence Of seven

cape by beating up the officer on

was taken at Galesburg q few days
later. He is described by the au.
thorities as a thoroughly hardened
criminal"-at the age Of 20-and il
