Schneider who had been sent to the

anxious to question him. however, as to
how the escape was effected. All or
the other prisoners who escaped were
more important from criminal stand

Federal prisoners awaiting removal to
North Carolina on a charge OF Post

to the case after the escape learned, he
said last night, that Schneider was

This statement regarding Walker,
which makes that young mans life out

case may be, is corroborated by Mr..
Walker himself in a letter which he
wrote yesterday to Mr.. Crowley. Mr..
Walker says he does not want to be
president, because Weinheimer is the
logical president. He gives no reason
for this, but continues:

TALLEY FIGHTS BAIL
TO FREE CRIMINALS
Judge Increases Bonds of Two
From S3,500 to $4,000
as a Starter.

The practice of furnishing bail for
professional criminals was denounced
by Judge Alfred j. Talley in General
Sessions yesterday when he increased
the bonds under which Joseph Keller
and Benny Rosner who were indicted
on the chargs of possessing burglars
tools after they had been convicted of a
crime, from $500 to $4,000. Before in
creasing their bail Judge Talley sent for
James H. Donaldson, assistant secretary
of the New Amsterdam Casualty COM
pany, and told him that as far as TINS
court is able to it will break up, If 1t
has the support of the community, the
practice of bonding companies in effect
aiding criminals to carry on their
work"
THE real vice of surety companies,
Judge Talley continued, lis that in view
of the condition of the calendars of this
court men of this type, having been
bailed by companies such as yours, are
allowed to be at large for year or
more before their case is called for trial
In the cases of men who are profess
sional criminals you are simply sending
them out into the community to con-
tinue their occupations. IL your COM
pany processes good citizenship. it is up
to them, without compulsion from this
court, to stop the practice
II can see no reason why you cannot
defer writing a bond until you have
communicated with the police or the
District Attorney. The court will ex-
pect that within the next thirty days
the bonding companies will themselves
agree without compulsion in any form
to do what the court suggests

arrested and convicted seven times and

tions. The regular Grand Jury. of which

Maxim Was Busy in War.

From Hudson Maxim the naval cOn-
sultlng board received in the war n
series of inventions ana improvements
which proved valuable, say the New
York Evening Post. One Of these had
to do with a new method of making
gun tubes by utilizing great hydraulic
pressure and thus permitting the man
ufacture of a gun in one piece.
Another was al Invention for mount
ing large guns on railroad cars and
securing the cars In concrete emplace-
ments. In the last two years the
army has been devotlng considerable
attention to mounting big guns in this
manner.
Mr.. Maxim also evolved an Illumi-
mating flare which was adopted by the
Il sea sled TO serve as n floating
platform for a depth bomb gun and a
machine gun mount which could be
raised. lowered and operated with safe
~ by a gunner In n trench.

REWARDS NOT ALL EQUAL
Evidently Some People Place a Higher
Valuation on Their Lives Than
Do Others.

A week or two ago Il tourist scram-
bling on the cliffs ut Lulworth on the
DOrsetshire (England) coast, slipped
and fell, and though not injured, was
landed in such n position that he
could neither get up nor down, says
a correspondent. There he chung in
great danger until the coast guards
arrived. In order to rescue him a
man had to be let down ut the end of
strong ropes, which were fixed to bars
driven into the ground. 1t was a diff
cult and dangerous joL, but at last
they got the man up in safety. He
thanked them, and handed them 81.
AS one of the rescuers said dryly /:
probably he knew best the value of
his life" The case brings to mind
another mentioned in n lecture given
by DIR. Atkin Swan. In a recent Alpine
expedition his guide was able to res
cue three climbers who were in Ian
ger of their lives. They rewarded
him with two francs (nominally 40
centsi) To conclude, here is Il very
different incident. A farmers labor
er in Yorkshire pulled his employers
little boy out of a pond into which he
had fallen. The farmer found that
the lad was anxious to emigrate, SO
paid his fare to Australia and gave
him $500 capital. Now for the Sc
quel. Twenty-Five years later the
farmer, now a very old man, received
word that his former protege had died
unmarried, and left him a sum of over
$4,000.

Satisfaction In Accomplishment,

There's a satisfaction In doing what
others find hard to do. The secret
lies in the mind. Some folks get rich
by doing what is their recognized
rights. Others get rich by bringing
something new to the attention Of men
and showing them how the new thing
will bless the rnce. This creates de-
mand and causes riches to flow to him
who controls IL. But this new thing
must come from your mind. Think
and do and the world will take note
OF you. Cease thinking and you put
up the sign OF Limitation and failure.
