Three Never Rctakcn

"Ahout 1896 a puEilst prisoner, Tug Wilson, and another convict named Pomeroy. slipped into the forest while cutting wood with a pri- son gang. They have never been captured. The next year another got away-he has never been found"
 Tie most popular theory of the Gardiner escape is that he swan to safety soon after he escaped, but the only recollection of such a feat in the mind of Capt. Henly was the case of a prisoner who eluded guards about 1900. This convict swam from Wards point to Anderson's Island, a distance of a mile, but was recog- nized by a rancher, who brought him back to the penitentiary under a gun.
 Eleven prisoners escaped through a yentilator shaft about 1903. but all were caught on the island In the same year two ConviCts named Chester and Weinberg escaped in a boat and they were both captured a week later on NisQually flats
 It is about fifteen years ago that the notorious Albert Bell, a mail robber. escaped through money smuggled into the penitentiary by a convict friend. Several theorists believe Gardiner had an outside ac- complice in his Labor Day break.

Seven COnVictS Have Done What
 Gardiner Tries
Veteran Guard at McNeHrs Island Recalls FOrty-SiN Escapes, With
 Thirty-Ninc Recaptured
By GILBERT GORDON In the Post-IntelIigencer

McNeTVs Island, Sept l7.-If Roy Gardiner wins his tragic game of hide and seek with fifty prison rifemen on land and twenty sharp shooters patroIIing twelve miles of shore, he will be the eighth prisoner to succeed in a clean getaway from this institution during the thirty eight years of Capt. Neil Henly's eX- perience as guard and pilot of the penitentiary launch.
 Capt. Henly. now supervising the night patrol of island waters in jLc Gardiner hunt, joined the peniten- tiary stan in 1888, ten years after the prison was built. So far as he now recalls. about forty-siX prisor- CTS escaped during that time and ot this number he recalls only seven who have succeeded in eluding pri- son posses. It has required weeks Co catch some of them-oue was a; liberty for two months-bUt thirty nine were eventually returned 10 their cells.

IN THEATER fire
More Bodies May Be in Ruins Of
Motion Picture Playhouse

Yale University Students and Others
Try to Help in the Work of Rescue
Many Hurt During Wild
Rush for Safety.

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 20.-ThreC
lives were lost and 10 persons were
more or less seriously injured when
fire broke out in the RiaIto motion
picture theater here. 1t is possible
that further search of the ruins of the
playhouse will add one more name to
the list of dead, as Il. II. PerrigO of
this city has not been seen since the
fire was discovered. His son was
among the injured.
Fifty-eight persons who were either
burned or trampled by the crowd
which stOrmed the exits when the
flames swept into the theater from the
stage were in hospitals today. Twenty,
one who were taken to hospitals when
the fire was raging were given treat
ment and were sent to their homes
Twenty-Five of the injured were Yale
students. All will recover, 1t was de-
clared.
Identify One Body.
Only one body, that Of Timothy J
Hanlon, fifty-eight, had been identified
today. 1t was believed he was tram,
pied to death, as examination of his
injuries showed his neck was broken
Two other bodies taken from the
theater were burned so badly that
Identification was impossible. One
was the body of an elderly woman
and the other was that of a young
man, apparently about 20 years OF
age.
Flames Over Nine Stories High.
For nearly two hours flames from
the burning theater rose higher than
the nine-stOry Hotel Taft opposite,
Illuminating the entire city and bring,
ing Yale university students by the
hundreds and tOwnspeOple by the thou
sands to try to help in the work OF
rescue and to watch the spectacle.
Practically every physician in the
city was called upOIr; the injured were
sent to the three leading hospitals in
the city, the New Haven General
Grace and st. Raphaers hospitals. The
majority of those injured and, so faI
as known, all of those killed. were
tOwnspeople.
Show Fight for Life.
Two of the patients at ST. RaphaeI's
hospital bore evidence of a severe
struggle. One victims skull was frac
tured, another suffered a fractured
leg. Others at the hospitals had in
juripS which came from trampling anC
not burns. and many of those who
were not injured had their clothing
nearly torn off in the wild rush fol

Troubles of Contractors.

A building contractor has more
troubles than most people. He must
contract to do something running
some time in the future, taking his
chances on the turn Of prices. Then
he must get bond, at a high rate.
After that if he gets the contract
has his labor troubles. On top OF
that there is the weather TO contend
with and strikes elsewhere that may
retard shipments of materials. LII
addition to all these he happens 20
make mistake his profits go kerr
fuzzy. AS rule, tho, contractors get
their buildings up, straight and true
to hair. A Portland, Ore. contrac-
tor, the other day, however, made a
mistake. He discovered after the
building was up and finished that he
had carelessly put it on the wrong lot,
owned by another person than the
contractee. The owner of the lot re-
fuses to pay the bill, tho thankful for
the favor.
