In complete domination of the pen itentiary for five hours, ruling it like the commander of a pirate ship, Slaughter's audacious exploit is per haps unparalleled in the history of American prisons.
 From 9:30 o'clock last night until 2:30 o'clock this morning the notor- ious man-killer and bank robber held sway over all officers, guards and prisoners, opening wide the doors and offering freedom to all convicts, in cluding dozen under sentence of death, who cared to take advantage of the opportunity. Finally, accom- panied by six other convicts, one white man and five negroes, for of the negroes under death sentence, he seized an automobile belonging to the wife of Warden Dempsey and made his escape.
 Feigning illness yesterday, Slaugh- ter at 9:30 o'clock last night request ed the two trusty guards, Tony Cop persmith and Herman Vezollie, who were standing watch over him, to get a blanket. Vezollie did so and was unable to pass the blanket through the bars of the cell. Slaughter de- clared he was too weak to get up and get it. With Coppersmith standing guard Vezollie unlocked the cell to give Slaughter the blanket. Instead of taking it he rose suddenly and kicked the guard in the groin, at the same time producing a revolver and pointing it to Coppersmith. Caught for second off his guard, Copper smith had to drop his gun. The ban- dit then forced the two guards to walk ahead of him to the second floor of the stockade building, where an- other gulrd was overpowered and disarmed.
 Forcing the three guards to lie down on the floor, Slaughter lber- ated the prisoners in the stockade. The six Elaine negroes, another ne- gro under death sentence and sever al other prisoners refused the free dom Slaughter offered them and were locked up. Slaughter then forced Nezollie to walk ahead of him to the penitentary office. As the door was opened for the guard Slaughter gave him a shove, sending him sprawling across the floor and with a gun in either hand disarmed the guards in the office. Leaving these in the hands of his assistants, Slaughter went to the hospital kitchen, where he forced Miss Cumbre, nurse, to awaken Warden Dempsey and his family, who were sleeping in upper rooms of the office building. He compelled Warden Dempsey, his wife and three children to accompany him and submit to being locked in the death cell.
 With the penitentiary thus com pletely under his control, Slaughter prepared for his departure. Having taken the commissary keys from

The plaintiffs are distillers and 90
owners Of bonded whisky. The bill
does not attack the validity of the

Of either measure can apply to whisky

MILLION IN FUND |
FOR STREET WORK
Appropriation Available July
] for New Construction,
Resurfacing and Upkeep.

Approximately a million dollars will
become available Friday, July l. for
the laying of new streets. the resur-
facing and maintenance Of worn-out
thoroughfares and the upkeep Of sub
urban roads. ..
while this amount may seem large,
said Mai. r. S. Besson. assistant en-
gineer commissioner, there will re-
main at the end Of the year much un-
finished highway work of:a more or
less urgent nature. Due to the small
appropriations of late years. - cuni-'
pared with those of decade ago,~tt
may be estimated that Washington Is
behind 4f,s90.000 in the extension aA3
construction of new streets, and Ike
sum In the maintenance and resurfac-
ing OF existing streets ana roads.
Repairs and Construction.
For the twelve months beginning
Friday the Commissioners have lump
sum Of ,$575,00o for repairs to streets;
streets designated in the act: $250,00
for .upkeep Of suburban roads. and
$2S5. 900 for assessment and permit
work. This latter item is used to lay
sidewalks and curbs, and Is refunded In
part to the city by special assessments!
against the abuttfng property owners.
The amounts appropriated for re-
and for assessment and permit work
are the same as were allowed during
the year now ending. But the sum Of
$144849 for street improvements rep
resents heavy reduction from the
current appropriation. which amount-
missioners have approximately $780,
600 less for street work during the
next twelve months than they had
during the year drawing to q close.
Concrete Paving Contract.
Contract already has been made with
the w. r. BreniZer Company for the
paving with concrete Of the following
ster street from 18th to 18th. Upshur
street from Rock Creek Church road
to I'd street, Allison from 18th to 18th
streets: 7th from Webster to Allison.
Taylor from 14th street east, Bryant
from North Capitol street. east. and
Five other streets were slated for
early paving with asphalt, but the
city heads q few weeks ago rejected
all asphalt bids on the ground that
they were too high. No time has bean
nxed for the submission Of new bldg.
The streets slated for asphalt surface
ing are:
Eleventh street, D street to Mary
land avenue northeast: 18th street, G
street to Kentucky avenue southeast;
Kentucky avenue. 18th to 18th streets
southeast; C street, 13h to 14th streets
northwest, and New Hampshire avenue
between Upshur street and Grant Cir
Gle. Provision also is made for the
grading of 18th street from Buchanan
to Shepherd streets.
Out of the lump sum Of $575, 900 the
Commissioners will repair from time to
time during the fiscal year the streets
and avenues that appear most in need
of attention.
