JAIL DELIVERY
THWARTED AFTER
BARS ARE SAWED

George Reaves, jailer at the county
Jail, nipped Jail delivery in the bud
about $3.50 last night when he dis
covered Fred Taylor and A. Lowe
making their way for the hole in the
roof.
The men who are held on charges
Of housebreakinG and larceny had
sawed their way out of their cell.
They had a rope which they had made
out of their mattress. 1t evidently
was their plan to use this to lower
themselves to the ground after they
had once reached the roof.
The men were unarmed and Reaves
had no trouble in subduing them.
They were placed in the dungeon and
Sheriff Perry announced Saturday
morning that they would remain there
as long as they are held in Jail. 1t
is believed the saw was smuggled
to the men in food delivered to them
by COnfederates.
The near escape once more brings
to the attention Of the public the i'm
perative need foU a new jail as. the
hole which was made when John
ReVinslI, one thumbed murderer of
Mae Goodwin, queen of the undero
world. made his notorious escape.

He related he arrived here Monday

men who forced him into an autOmO-

drove him to the farmhouse, about
eight miles west o fhere.

and beat him. He was barefooted
when he appeared at the st. Louis

The check was made payable to a

CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-Five speeches
in Chicago, one in Gary. Ind. and an
-old-time torchlight parade are on
the schedule of Gov. Cox today for
the windup of his campaign for the

One of the greatest demofstra-
tions of the campaign is planned
preparatory to the evening speech at
the Coliseum, where Gov. Cox's OPP
ponent, Senator Harding, was NOM
mated.
Gov. Cox, addressing an audience
Of women here at noon, said Presi-
dent Wilson would be perfectly
wiling to conclude participation in all
public affairs if the president felt
assured that America would join the
league of nations.
The presidential candidate said
President Wilson's one main thought
was that the league was pledge
to American motherhood.
President Wilson's name was
cheered when the governor deplored
what he said was "a malignant pol
icy of hate"
After the address at the Coliseum,
two trips to auditoriums in different
sections of the city and q visit to
IhS k0Oulu OilOE6 SOuuJTy CluD hDOut
midnight, are planned.
Gaily decorated automobiles are to
form the main section of the evening
nor's hotel to the Coliseum. The

pany the governor to the other night
meetings, one under the auspices of
citizens of Bohemian descent and an
other organized by those Of Polish
anchestry.
Gov. Cox made public here today a
telegram to a woman supporter in
which he stated his intention to con-
suit both Democrats and Republicans,
If elected, to bring about, ratification
of the peace treaty and to consult
other leaders regarding Irish and
Jewish racial questions.
"If | am elected" said the COVER
nor II shall recognize the mandate
for entrance into the league of ma
tions and shall work out that solu-
tion by conference with the senate,
but accepting such helpful reserva-
tions as are necessary to that end.
l shall consult with Woodrow Wilson,
with Elihu Root, with VIM. Howard
Taft and any others who by virtue
of their experience can render help
full service.
Furthermore, in the consideration
of specific matters like the cause of
Ireland, it is my purpose to consult
with men who nurtured the traditions
and desires of the Irish people, such
as Bourke Cochran and Alfred Smith
of New York, and David Walsh. OF
Massachusetts,, and in connection
with the Jewish question I will con-
suit with leaders of Jewish thought
