ROBERTS ESCAPES
 FROM STATE ASYLUM
 BUT LATER CAUGHT

Within six hours after he had made his escape from the state insane asy- lum Francis Roberts, convict from the state penitentiary, was captured last night on the Comeback road by Deputy Sheriff Al Dewitt .and Tom Moore, prison guard at Florence. Rob- erts was captured while on the way to meet his wife. He was placed in the county jail last night and will be taken back to Florence to the state prison. This is the second escape Roberts has made since he was sentenced to the state prison by Judge Stanford on June p after he was found guilty of having committed a statutory offense. He was given a sentence of from 20 to 30 years. The complaint was made by a 16-year- girl.
 Roberts was placed in the state in sane hospital for observation by the penitentiary authorities about a week ago. Last August Roberts, while out near the Casa Grande ruins with six other convicts gathering wood, made his ecape by dashiRg to the under brush when the guards back was turned. He was at large for several days and was caught near the Indian school on August within 200 yards of where he was first arrested last March. Roberts was on his way to meet his wife and get some money and clothing with which to make his ! getaway.
 | Shortly after being taken back to | the prison, according to the officers he at once began to act strange. The prison officials watched him care 1 fully. but finally were convinced his mind was wandering. They then took him to the state asylum for observa-
 ton. Early yesterday afternoon T. l Cummins, superintendent of the asy- lum, was in the sheriff's office and
 was cautiontd by the officers to keeI
 an eye on Roberts. In less than ar
 hour after Mir Cunmins left the of.
 flee the asylum reported that Robert. had escaped. The manner in which h,
 got out of the asylum was not made
 public.

Attorney General A. Mitchell Pal

to district attorneys in all other
cities to be on the lookout for coal

In Washington, where coal prices
were advanced yesterday 81 a ton,
the district attorney was ordered to
prosecute dealers as profteers. the
attorney general insisting that the
recent wage increase OF n per cent
granted bituminous miners did not
warrant an increase in the price Of
coal of more than 40 cents ton.
Indications Of Profiteering.

iations of prices has been discon-
tinued," said the attorney general,

IS 4pproximately 500, ,0O0, 1000 tons. 1t

in wages will be approximately
$500, ,000. 900 per annum. If this en-
tire amount is added by the
operators to the price, il would only.
make an increase Of 40 cents per
ton.
II understand that an exaggerated
estimate Of the demand for export
coal is affecting the market price,
particularly fropa Illinois east, this
demand having been estimated at as
much as 100, ,06O, 600 tons. But I am
advised that our port facilities are
only adequate for the exeport Of 30,-

say, only 6 per cent Of our trtai pro-

Declaring that the raise IS coal

Lord, president Of the mining ,di-
