JAIL BARS CUT
With SMALL Wire
Five Prisoners Make Escape
From City Prison; Second
Delivery in Four Months
Here.

BY means of a small wire taken from
a broom five prisoners at the city jail
sawed through n bar over the window
and made their escape about 10:3o
o'clock Friday night. This is the Sec
ond Jail delivery here in this manner

delivery. Davis was informed by offl'
GERS Friday that he was being held Tor
federal investigation. Davis and three
other prisoners were being held in jail
on charges of trespassing on railroad
property. John Haywood, negro, was
being held for investigation. Two of the
men only had about three more days

NORFOLK, Va. May 1.-THE me-
teor which created great excitement
through southside Virginia last
night struck the earth twelve miles
northwest Of Blackstone. in Notto-
way county. ~120 miles west of Nor
folk.
The bolide. which appeared to be
composed of metal, fell in a grove of
oak trees. some distance from any
house. Several trees were buried
and it left a hole with an area of
something like 500 square feet.
There was a terrific dentonation
when the object, which apparently
weighed as much as twenty tons, hit
the earth. The quiet countryside in
Nottoway was not seriously disturb
ed. and in Blackstone itself there
was little disturbance.
When the meteor struck the earth
a sheet of flames was sent up which
was plainly visible for miles around.
Several trees were set on fire, but
there was little damage to the grove
outside Of the immediate vicinity of
the hole left.
h Scientific experts from Richmond
will visit the scene this afternoon to
make an analysis Of the material Of
which the meteor was made.

House Members See Need of
5000 Man Because Of I'm
migration Law.

A new assistant secretary of labor,
at a salary Of $4,000. is favored in a
report ordered today by the House
labor committee. This legislation Is
fathered by Representative Zihlman
OF Maryland. In his report Represent
ative Zihlman points out that the
present immigration law provides that
any alien denied admission at point
OF entry may appeal to the Secretary
OF Labor, through the commissioner
general Of immigration, and 1t is pro-
V1ded that the Secretary Of Labor, the
assistant secretary or the acting sec
retary must personally review and de-
eide each case.

and decisions of appeals on warrant

clusion cases and other items arising
from the bureau of immigration and
coming to the Office of the Secretary

day. which manifestly requires the ex-
elusive time Of at least one of the
officials. Representative Zihlman says.
assistant secretary to do this work,
as the authority cannot be delegated
to clerks.
1t is ~desIred by the department
that this proposed new assistant sec
retary be delegated to this work. The
Zihlman report emphasizes that the
bureau Of immigration is but one Of a
ment of Labor. If the department is
to exercise its other functions, an
additional secretary must be fur

TO CHINA WAR PIT
Hundred Sent to Tongshan
as Battle Looms Between
WI and Chang.
By the Associated Press.

PEKING, May 12.-One hundred
American soldiers have been dispatch
ed to Tongshan. a few miles northeast
of Tientsin. to maintain communica-
tion and protect foreigners in the
vicinity of the Kaiping coal mines.
A train flying allied flags left Tien-
tsin for Chinwangtao, on the coast of
the Gully of Chilli, but was unable to
proceed on account Of the congestion
Of Chinese forces.
The troops of Gen. WI Pei-fu who
defeated the Manchurian forces of
Gen. Chang Tso-lin last week are
now intrenched at Tongshan. Gen.
Chang has his headquarters at Lwan-
chow, between Tongshan and Chin
wangtao, with $4,000 Manchurian
troops.
The opinion of military attaches
here is divided as to whether the
Manchurian leader intends additional
aggression against his victorious ad-
yersary or whether he is merely striv-
ing to carry out an orderly retreat
for the moral effect that might be
produced when his troops arrive at
Mukden.
fOKIO. May 1.-THE former Chi
nese premier, Liang Shih-Yi, recently
reported to have arrived In Japan. is
understood to be planning to join
Cen. Chang Tso-Lin, who is with his
forces north of Tfentsin. Dispatches
from China say Chang Is maneuvering
for a decisive action against WI
Pei-fu's forces along the Luan river.

PITTSBURGH, May 1.-THE Peter

heavy, Charge Of dynamite which
threw stones 30 far that a farm
house almost a quarter of a mile
away was damaged. Sheriff Robert
W. Woodside, with a big force of
deputies, left Pittsburgh shortly after
am. for the mine, where, 1t was
reported, a body of coal strike SYM
pathizers had collected.
Ten minutes after the deputies left
Pittsburgh Peterman said over the
telephone from his home in Oakmont,
Pa, that the men who had attacked
his place; were fastening in automo-
biles to the rnino of Joseph Schenck,
half a mile away. One of the auto
mobiles contained dynamite, Peter
man said. and members Of the crowd
said they We're going to get the

Peterman said that the men had
gone to his mine shortly before day
break. and planting heavy charge
Of dynamite in the mouth of the drift
completely destroyed it. They then
disappeared, only to gather again, he
said. No one was hurt by the ex-
plosion.

PARCEL POST RATE
INCREASE PLANNED
Postmaster General Tells In
terstate Body Means of
Cutting Deficit.

Steps leading up to parcel post rate
changes to curtail the $100.0O0,000
deficit sustained. annually by the Post
Office Department were outlined to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
today by Postmaster General Hubert
Work.
While no definite decision has been
made, pending investigation of par
eel post rates, 1t is likely that ulti-
mately rates of fourth-class mail
matter may be increased perhaps 1
cent a package. adding $2o.0o0,o0o a
year to postal revenues.
Postmaster General Work told the
commission that the official weigh-in
of 1917 showed that fourth class mat
ter was 4.79 per cent of the total
weight of all. while development of
parcel post has SO greatly added to
fourth -class matter that it "is ap-
proximately so per cent Of the weight
of the entire mails"
Other Rates Changed.
Rates per unit of service for rail-
road transportation and salaries all
along, the line have changed, it is
pointed out. Postmaster General
Work continued:
"As the revenues received from par
eel post matter are produced by rates
fixed by the act Of 1912, then esti-
materd to be little more than suf-
flcient to cover the cost of performing
the service, 1t is obvious that the rev.
enues now received on such matter
must be far below the actual and ap-
portioned cost for that service under
conditions now existing"
Estimate to BE Made.
The Post Office Department is pro-
ceding in conjunction with the joint
commission on postal savings, to Sc
cure the necessary data and to make
an estimate, based on existing condl-
tions, as to the revenue derived from
the several classes Of mail matter,
the cost Of carrying and handling
them and the gain Or loss per pound.
respectively.
when these results are known it
will be the duty of the Postmaster
General to present them to the In
terstate Commerce Commission, so
far as parcel post matter is con-
cerned. with appropriate recommend
ations for changes in rates of post
age thereon, as contemplated by the
act of 1912 and the amendatory act"
