GERMAN GIRL MAKES
A SECOND GET AWAY

Douglas, Ariz., Dec. 29.-Albert
L. Caldwell, escaped convict from
Leavenworth. re-captured by the
local police Thursday, sawed his
way out of the city jail tonight and
is once more a free man. 1t is
believed that he headed straight
for the line and is now in Aqua
Prieta, Sonora, where his recap
ture ana return will be an easy
matter for county authorities to
morrow, polio, say.
Caldwell was sentenced to serve
eight years in Leavenworth for an
assault on a German girl while the
American troops were on the
Rhine in 1918. He had served
four years of his time when he
made his escape November 90, ac-
cording to the story he told the
police.
Only one other prisoner, a man
held for vagrancy made his es-
cape from the Jail through bars
sawed by Caldwell.

City Makes Shaving
a Crime For
30 DAYS
INTERNATIONAL NEWS REEL

SACRAMENTO, Cal, April
29.-Hearkening back to a
harder Sacramento which con-
sidered shaving an effeminacy,
the city council has made that
mstutinal rite a crime.
For the next thirty days any
male resident of the city who
touches cheek or jowl with a
razor will violate an ordinance
passed by the city council last
night as an emergency meas
ure. Offenders will not only
face the possibility of arrest
and a fine, but the scorn of a
whole city bent on making the
days of '49 celebration, which
closes here May 2S, an event
long to be remembered, if only
for its whisker crop.
Members of the Sacramento
baseball club readily fell in
with the proposal to omit shaw
ing as a means of advertising
the celebration. But visions of
lnfelders tripping up on their
boards and line drives being
trapped in whiskers led the Pa
cific Coast League officials to
veto the scheme.

HANGING LAWS
EASY,.|SC CLAIM
Lawyers Say Fight by Doomed
Mans Attorney Will Be
Futile.

One simple order by the Board Of
District Commissioners based on
existing law will wipe out the objec-
tions being raised by Attorney James
O'Shea, representing Charles Price,
colored. who was sentenced to hang
today, several attorneys here agreed
today.
O'Shea began habeas corpus pro-
ceedinss to have Price released be-
cause the death warrant does not con-
form to the statutes of 1911. when tn
District jail ceased to be a Federal in
stitution and was transferred to the
District government.
The papers were served on Capts
w. L. Peake, assistant superinten-
dent In charge of the jail, but bore
the name Of w. III. Meyer. supertn-
tendent Of the 'workbouse and re-
formatory.
Stay Of Execution Granted.
A stay Of execution has been
granted Price, and he will be pro-
duced in court on May 8 In answer to
the habeas corpus proceedings.
Should the lower court decide
against him, O'Shea will appeal to
the United States Supreme Court,
which means there may be no execu-
tons at the District jail under two
years or more.
The District Commissioners may
designate Captain Peake or some
other Jail official as warden" and
thus comply with the law, 1t Is
pointed out.
THE Supreme Court of the Dis
trict shall have authority to appoint
a suitable person to act as warden
...h a.
ficer whenever, in the opinion of the
quire his removal. and to I'LL all va
cancies which may occur"
This act Of June 80. 1902. has
never been repealed. 1t IL stated.
The same act further says:
Whenever any person confined in
the Jail is adjudged to suffer death,
II shall be the duty Of the warden to
carry such judgment into execution"
The death warrant In the Price
case, as in others in recent years,
reads: To the Superintendent,
Washington Asylum and Jail"
No Such Officer Now.
Under the law. there is no such
officer. Captain Peake, the eacting
superintendent, In appointed by the
lnt
of the District appropriation bill,
which merely makes lump sum ap-
preparation for the asylum and Jail,
without specifying who the officers
shall be or what their duties shall
include.
William II. Meyer holds the office
OF "Superintendent-W and
Reformatory," and under the law is
based on precNdeuf eatahliahed dur
ing the encumbency OF Col. Charles
c. Foster. Colonel Foster made his
home at OccoQuan and managed the
penal institutions there. His con-
nection with the District Jail was
only in a supervisory capacity.
By designating some one as war
den at the Jail, subject to approval
by the judges of the District Su-
preme Court, the District Commits
sioners, II is pointed out today, win
clarity the situation.

Caustic Communications Be-

The flare-up between Senator VIII.
lam e. Borah and the American
Legion Post at Pocatelio. Idaho. over
Borahs refusal to support the
soldiers bonus, was given consider
able space in today's issue OF the
Stars and Stripes, a newspaper for
world war veterans.
Referring to BOrah's telegram to
the legion post in which he compared
voting for the bonus TO buying pub.
lie office out of the public treasury"
the Stars and Stripes said:
THE Idaho Senator makes no
reference to the statesments by the
Pocatello legionnaires that he op.
posed a considerable number Of laws
necessary In the conduct Of the war.
In fact, he does not take up hts
war record at all, but devotes several
paragraphs to explaining that he ID
an exceptionally pure and righteous
statesman and would never do GER
tain wicked and improper things,
none of which anybody suggested
his doing except himself In this
letter"
The telegram which the Pocate!lo
Post sent to Borah and which re,
suited in his caustic reply was pub
lished by the Stars and Stripes "a
follows:
Your absurdly fallacious speech
opposing bonus unanimously con
demned by Pocatello American

opposed foreign loans, you opposed
sending troops. you opposed espion.

Senator Borah's letter to the Idaho
legion post and the subsequent reply
of the veterans are also printed. The
last letter of the Pocatello Post Ia
given, in part, as follows:
"You state that you have great
