Spends Five Hours Within the
Prison Walls After Dis .-.
arming Guards
(By United PreSs)

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 9.-Tom
Slaughter, notorious bandit of the
Southwest, staged one of the most
daring prison breaks in southwestern
criminal history earl y today when
he escaped from the death cell of
the state penetentiary, here. Before
his escape Slaughter engaged in
gun battle with officers at Benton
and Lawnsdale, and is believed to be
en- route to his old haunts in Texas
or Oklahoma.
Slaughter spent five hours wander
ing around the inside of the prison
walls before making his final dash
to liberty. Feigning illness, Slaughter
called to guard and asked for a
blanket. The guard opened the door,
advanced to the bandits cot and was
covered by gun, which friend had
struggled to the prisoner.
Slaughter disarme4 the guard and
forced him to lead the way to the
warden's office where he covered three
guards and forced them to lie down
on the, floor while he disarmed them.
Next he went to the hospital ward,
where he forced nurse to lead him
to the rooms Of the warden's wife and
daughter, whom he locked in the
death cell. Then he unlocked the
doors of the cells and told the pris-
oners that they could escape if they
wished. Six escaped, the others re-
fused. Among those who refused were
six negroes who were sentenced to
death. ~.e" .@. E':'5t u
Slaughter then locked the doors on
The convicts who refused to accom-
pany him and proceeded to the Jail
yard where he took the tires off all
the; automobiles except the one in
which he planned to escape. Then
he went tothe storehouse and he and
his six companinos QUILTED them
selves in civilian clothes. Slaughter
with his six companions made his es-
cape about 2:30 a. M, five hours
from the time he gained freedom
from the death cell.
Slaughtel was under sentence of
death for tn ealleged murder of
''trusty" at the Arkansas prison farm

BELIEVE DALI ,ElRANN
WILL RATlFY TREATY
(By United Press)

Dublin, Dec. "a majority of the
Irish people have flocked to the sup
port Of the, four cabinet ministers,
who favor acceptance of the peace
treaty with Great Britain. President
De Valera and two cabinet members
oppose it. The press of Ireland is in
favor Of the pact.
It is considered likely that the Dails
will ratify by narrow margin. APP
'proval of the treaty is believed to
have narrowed down to the test of
whether Eamonn De Valera or
Michael Collins and Arthur Griffith,
who signed the agreement, has the
greatest backing in Ireland.
Following the statement of De
Valera that he would decline to rec
ommend acceptance of the agreement
to the Dails, Collins and Griffith both
announced that they would fight for
the treaty in belief that the conflict
of century is nearing an end.

# VETS ON BASKET TEAM
Ann Arbor School Figures on
: Auspicious Start in Big
Ten Basket Race
(By United Press)

Ann Arbor, Mich, Dec. 9.-Michi-
gan figures on an suspicious start
in the Big Ten basketball race. Last
season, the Wolverines got away
slowly, losing three straight confer
ence games before pulling themselves
together, and finally tying for the
title. The question of supremacy was
not decided until the final battle when
Michigan trimmed Illinois on the Ur-
bana floor by an exceedingly marrow
margin. "a =.a-,z,. s.--t g
-Four members Of that fighting ag-
grsgation are back this year, Captain
Bud Rea, running guard, who aston
ished the West with his uncanny bas-
ket shooting ability, Miller, brilliant
forward, Duke Dunno, center, and
Whitlock, substitute forward.
There is some question about
Dunno playing this year. The foot
ball captain, and regular basketball
center for two seasons, is pressed by
scholastic work, and has announced
his intention of remaining out of
competition. He may be prevailed
upon, however, to alter his decision
for the Wolverines sorely need a
good pivot.
Captain Karpus, last years for
ward, graduated in the spring." as
did Jack Williams, the elongated
back guard, who bore the burden of
the defensive work under the basket,
knocking down many shots by oppon-
ents which appeared ticketed for
markers. While their loss worries
Coach E. J. Mather, a host of new
men are ready to step into the breach.
Whitlock should pair nicely with
Miller at forward, leaving back guard
as the only undetermined post. For
that job LeGalley, who plays much
like Williams, seems well-suited. He
understands the position, and in
scrimmage has shown great promise.
Should Dunno stick to his inten-
ton to remain out of basketball,
Coach Mather can use youngster
by the name of Reason at center. This
lad is said to possess great possibili-
ties as a regular.

HILL COUNTRY VETERANS
MISUNDERSTAND RELIEF
War Veterans of Southeastern
Mountains Have Wrong Idea
of Federal Relief
(By United Press)

Washington, Dec. 81 wasn't any
hero soldier and / didn't get shot,
but just blown up trying to put out
a fire in camp"
This statement was made to men,
bers Of the United States Veterans
Bureau in Buchanan, Virginia, by a
man whose face had nearly been
blown away by gasoline explosion in
France. He was surprised that the
government should offer him compen-
sation. This displays one type of ig-
norance which has been met in work
for war veterans in the hill country
Of Virginia and West Virginia.
In some sections it was thought
that unless man had been a marked
hero, or shot in battle, that he was
not entitled to anything. Investiga-
ton in other hill regions show that
many ex-soldiers are suspicious of
the aims of the government. They
are wary of the efforts of the War
Veterans bureau in their behalf, be-
cause of a understanding of the
governments purpose.
The idea prevails, according to
members of the cleanup squad"
and other agents of the Veterans
Bureau, that the government COM
pensation is either pension that goes
to all men who saw service, or
"slick" move on the part of the gov
eminent to get them back into the
army.
Those. who looked upon the gov
eminent relief as a pension could not
see why one man was getting So a
month, another SIG, and still another
close to $50. Among some, the ef-
forts of the Veterans Bureau were
thought to be for the purpose of
making a new draft list to get them
back into the army, because thew were
required to make application before
the government would give them
compensation.
IN the "moonshine" localities, ac-
cordlng to the agents of the, Veterans
bureau, there was the fear at first
hand that they might be "revenoo-
ers." Much of this fear has now
been overcome.
Some thrilling experience have
been reported in the hills of West
Virginia by a nurse of the Veterans
bureau who has had to do much of
her travelling on horseback and foot
because OF the lack of transportation
1acilltles. On one occasion she was
picked up by q group Of men innan
automobile who recognized her and
o1ered to "tote" her some six or
eight miles. She cit in the car and
minded her own business, but she had
20 rest her heels high on several demi-
JOINS OF "corn Ticker" and had sever
al waits on her trip while deliveries
were being made. ''e'' eS
