- Clara Phillips, the Los Angeles,
California woman who was last week
sentenced to ten years Imprisonment
for beating another woman, Alberta
Meadows TO death with 4 hammer,
ESCAPED from the Los Angeles jail last
Monday night. The bars of her cell
had been sawed through and the indi-
cations were that she had crawlcd out
of a window and dropped to the roof
Of a small house below. She is said to
have been seen in another part of the
city on Tuesday morning; but after
that all trace of her was lost. Her
husband, Armour l.. Phillips, appeared
at the police station Tuesday and
denied any knowledge of or cOnncc-
ton with the escape. He told the
police that he was prepared to ac-
count for his whereabouts in such
manner that there could be no Ques-
ton of the fact that he was not there.
She is believed to have escaped into
Mexico.
A precedent established early in

second day Of the session and. ""Cord-
ing to officials at the capital, the only
time this practice has been broken
heretofore was in 1855 when President
Pierce deferred his message until the
last day in December because of the
inability of the house to organize. At
that session it required 1873 ballots for
the house to elect its speaker. M the
White House it was stated that the
president probably would deliver his
message Thursday or Friday. 1t was
understood that the executive, having
sole responsibility for his rccommcn-
