RUNAWAY BOY Is
STRUCK BY AUTO
Fred Davis, Aged fl, Gets His Les
Broken When Hit BY AutomobIle
Yesterday.

Fred Davis. II years of age, the
younger of the two boys that ran away
from the Receiving Home on March
15, was struck by an automobile driven
by Mrs. J. E. Pridgeon. 800 West Greg
ory street. yesterday morning at $50
o'clock near the Little Bayou bridge
The little fellows right leg was broken
Just above the knee.
Mrs. Pridgeon Immediately took him
in her car and carried him to the PEN
sacola hospital where Dr.. W. d. Mobiles
treated the little sufferer.
The two brothers, Fred and Jim
Davis Is, ran away from the home
about month ago and all efforts to
locate them had been IN vain. Stories,
giving their descriptions. pictures. ETC.,
appeared in both local papers, asking
that If boys answering the descriptions
were seen that the matron of the home
be notified. However, no report was
ever made.
According to Jesse Coleman. about
IL. who lives at 1414 West Govern
rnent street, the boys appeared at his
house Tuesday night and asked for
something TO eat. They were evident
ly taken in for the night. ana yester-
day all three boys went out to the
bayou on dshing trip. It Is UNDER
stood that a wagon was crossing the
bridge from which Fred was fishing
and that In attempting to cross from
one side to the other the automobile
that happened along just at that time
struck him. .sThe accident was una
voida.bie. Neither OF the boys was
very laxative about their escapade
and consequently very little could be
found out as to where they had been
since leaving the home.
Miss March OF the Childrens Home
society expressed the belief last night
that the youngsters had been In Pen
sacola since leaving the home. It Is
remarkable. however, that they were
never identified and their whereabouts
made known.

Fenton to Blame
for Brown Parole
Warden Shoulders Response.

Black Marks i'm Record.

/ Lincoln, June l2.-(Special.)-"
there is anyone to blame for the re-
lease OF Fred Brown from the pen
itentiary it is certain members of the
Omaha police force and myself"
That was the statement given to
newspapers today by Warden w. 7.
Fenton.
"I'm the man who dug Brown up
and pushed his parole through" the
warden continued. .. :.
"As for some OF this talk that all
convict needs to do in order to get
a parole is to make friends with
Christian people and ministers, that
is bunk"
"There has never been a single
church worker who has. taken all in
terest in the conyicts at this peniten-
tiary who has asked the board to
parole them. They visit the convicts
at the penitentiary and have in some
instances hunted employment for
them when it looked as though the
men would get paroles.

first when learned OF his wife in
Omaha suing him for divorce and be-
lieved an attorney in Omaha was en-
deavoring to take all of Browns
property away from him. I looked
up Browns prison record and it, was
absolutely perfect. There wasn't a
single, black mark registered against
him. s'..

Loaf Of Bread on Way
so Gents Of Euery 81
Goes to Middlener
From Farmer to Table

Washington, June 12.-A loaf Of
bread, the joint commission on
agricultural inquiry said in report
published today, offers a striking
example of what happens to the
farmers products in the way Of
cost and profits before it. reaches
the family table.
About 50 cents out of each dollar
the consumer pays for bread, the
report said, is absorbed in cost Of
distribution. The farmer gets only
2o.6 cents in the local market for
the wheat needed to produce it. A
survey showed that the average
cost Of getting the wheat ready for
= the baking stage was 8.4 cents,
while the average cost Of manu-
featuring il into bread was 1916
cents.
"A considerable factor in the
bakers cost of distribution, which
averages 1876 cents of the con,
sumer's dollar, is the service ele-
ment," said the report.
"Our inquiry does not indicate
that the manufacturing baker has
exacted an undue prorit in taking
the 5.3 cents from the consumers
dollar for manufacturing bread and
distributing it to the retailer"

To Eliminate Tuchuns.
II is believed that President Lis
first effort after he has put his gov
eminent into working order will be
the elimination of the system OF
tuchuns or military provincial gov
ernors. He originally made il con-
dition precedent to- his acceptance OF
the presidency that these officials
should withdraw from Office or at
least refrain from meddling with
civil governmental matters. The
system has been credited by many
students OF Chinese affairs with the
generation of many civil conflicts,
