 Recaptured byPosse
Had Escaped After Shooting Policeman Hunt of South Norwalk.

South >->lwalk, Dec. 23.-Harry Jones and Edward Jackson, negroes, under S6,000 bonds each on charges of highway robbery and assault escaped from the poiiees this afternone while they were be- ing taken to the county jail in Bridge port. They were captured tonight, af- ter having been at liberty for two hours, and brought back here and locked up. In making their escape, they were al legged to have shot and wounded a police officer, and an additional charge of as sault with intent to kill will be lodged against them.
 The negroes started for Bridgeport in the custody of Detective Sergeant Thom- as Hunt of the local police. They were handcuffed together in the back seat of an automobile, while the officer and Mi chael Gilbert, chauffeur, were in the front seat. Sergeant Hunt said his re- volver was taken away from him by Jones, who handed it to Jackson when the latter had choked the chauffeur into insensibility. Jackson fired and Sergt. Hunt was wounded in the thumb and arm. The two negroes then fled to a | woods nearby.
 On receiving a telephone alarm of the escape, Chief of Police Pennington oi | Norwalk started out with a score of men | to hunt for the negroes.

SOLDIERS BONUS TALK
 HURTING LIBERTY BONDS


 Washington. Dec. 23-Market prices of Liberty bonds and other government securities were said today by Secretary Huoston to be sufferings as result of the continued discussion of the soldiers bonus and the various legislative meas ures for the relief of the farmers, such as the revival of the war finance corpoI- alton.
 Enactment into law of either of these propositions, the treasury secretary de- clared, would necessitate fotation by ths government of a loan which would add to the amount of government securities now outstanding and cause consequent reaction in the market for government bonds.
 Necessity of a bond issue to finance soldiers bonus, MT. Houston said, is readily understood, but it would be equally necessary for the government to borrow in order to enable the war finance corporation to function. The corpora ton, he said, has about $370,000000 in book credits against the treasury, but to resume its activities it would have eith- CT 70 issue bonds of it's own to obtain funds or call upon the treasury for his balance, in which case the treasury would be forced to issue certificates of indebtedness in order to raise the money.
 The secretary also said he was op. posed to the various proposals for ex' tending credit to foreign nations on tht basis of government funds, the admin t, istration having decided there should bt an end to foreign loans.
 Discussing a sales tax to provide gov ernment revenues, a subject now undel consideration by the house ways ant means committee, the secretary declared himself opposed to a general sales tal on the ground ltha tit was contrary tt the theory of progressive taxation. H. added, however that he favored a SC lected sales tax, applicable to certain classes of articles not necessaries which he said, would keep the burden of the ta7 from those unable to pay.

 In the action instituted today, the sis- ters allege the physicians swore falsely in an affidavit declaring them insane that the doctors did not personally ex. mine them and that the proceedings by which they were committed, were illegal

POLICY TOWARD S0VlE:1S HAILED
 PRESS DEFEAT
Lloyd G eorge Played by Times; Labor Organ
 Exults

London, Feb. 25.-Announcement of the allied policy toward Russia has evoked mixed comment from the London press. The Times which is a strong opponent Of Bolshevism accuses Premier Lloyd George with having for more than a year sought for his own purpose to throw weak, ignorant and reluctant Europe into the venal arms of her Bolshevik se- ducer.", It says the councils an- nouncement is "an indication of the progress which Mr. Lloyd George considered now he has made toward his goal. The next step is to com promise Europe beyond recall"
 "As the development of the prem ier's Soviet intrigue shows, the Times continues, "tact and patient perseverance, are the true instruments by which to decoy the unsuspecting to apostacy and shame"
 The Daily news says the new pol icy bears all the marks of q com promise having manifestly emerged from 8 conflict fuiews but that the balance on the good side unquestion- ably predominates.
 The Chronicle, which has lately advocated peace with the Belshevikil says yesterdays decision enbodies a big step forward but is masked un- der evasive expressions.
 "The allies" the Chronicle says, "have plainly entered the path at the end of which is peace. They mighc with advantage have taken a more direct path to the same goal"
 Labor's organ. the Herald eXults in the fact that "the allies are grudg- inglv and reluctantly taking the part they should have taken year ago, but regrets. the "ian@uago of their manifesto is insolent"
 Approval of the allied policy is given by the Express but it con demns the frankly jnsincerc diplo- macy which camnflages a split be tween the entente nations"

 Premier Nitti, it is declared, wa guided by two considerations in consenting to favor an approach to Russia one political and the other commercial. The premier has shown a consistent desire. to please the many Socialists in the chamber. One of the leading points fthe Soc ialist program is acknowledgment of theh present Russian government and it is hoped that the premicrS policy will gradually bring the Soc ialists into constitutional rights.
