PRISONERS ESCAPE
FROM THE ERIE JAIL
lmprOVised Key Tool of Es-
cape For Seven Men
Three Refuse to Go

Erie, Pa. - Seven prisoners, await
ing trial at the November term of
Erie county Criminal Court escaped
from the Erie county jail in the most
sensational jail break in the history
of the county
The escape was made by using a
metal slat from a cell bunk and fash
ioning it into a pass key and then by
saving two bars from a window on
the fifth floor of the Jail. The pris-
oners used a rope made OF blankets
to slide to the ground
Three other prisoners, one being
held for murder, had the same oppor-
tunity to escape but refused to leave.
oners, however, and failed to tell the
turnkey on duty
The fugitives are: Lawrence w.
Clippinser, alias Thomas w. Bruce,
aged "a. of Kalamazoo, Mich; Peter
Flury, alias George Day, aged %, of
42OS Clinton avenue, Cleveland; Wal
ter Ross, atlas Charles Day, aged %,
OF 420S Clinton avenue, Cleveland; :;
Frank Ralston, alias Frank Phillips.
aged 21, OF Erie; Edward Harrison.
aged %, of $50 South street, Philadel-
phia, and Charles Starks and John
Mcleod, both of Erie.
According to the story told the
turkeys by Tony Cifeli, held for
murder, who refused to go with the
others. the escape had been planned
for two weeks. A spoon first was
twisted into pass key, but was
broken in an attempt to unlock the
range door. Then a slat was taken
from bunk and turned into a key by
Edward Morrison, a trusty in the
range. After opening the range door
he used the slat to unlock the cell.
doors. Men were stationed on the
stairways, Cifelli said, and warned to
kill anyone that came up the stairs.

ABROGATES old
MARINE LIMIT
Proposed Pact Permits Search
OF British Vessels Hours
Sail From u. s. Port
SENATE TO GIVE APPROVAL
Agreement Reached Between Ameri-
can and British Governments
With Reference To Searching
Rum Running Vessels.

London, Eng.-The rum-running IS
ish governments, which Ambassador
Harvey in his conferences with Brit
ish officials repeatedly characterized
as a dangerous menace to the exist
ing good relations OF the two coun-
tries, virtually has been settled.
On the occasion of his formal fare
we'll visit to the foreign office, the re-
tiring American envoy and Foreign
Secretary Curzon gave final consider
alton to the terms of a draft treaty
which, it is believed. will clear up the
whole question. The treaty is under
stood to meet the American desire for
the right to search suspected rum
running vessels beyond the three-mile
limit; but at the same time gives to
Great Britain Americas formal affir-
nation of the three-mile limit as gov
erning British maritime rights gen
orally.
1t would also allow British ships to
carry liquor into American territorial
waters under seal, thus enabling
liners under the Union Jack to main
tain bars en- route to and after depart
ing from American ports.
With the settlement OF the rum-run-
ming and Newcastle issues Mr.. Har-
vey leaves London with no problems
left over for his successor, who, as
the ambassador said, is likely to have
troubles enough of his own.

Johnstown, Pa.-Belief that the five
National Bank at Bakerton, 30 miles
from here, are members of the band
OF safecrackers and yeggs who have
obtained nearly 100000 in the last few
weeks as a result of their operations
in Steubenville, o.; Wheeling, w.
Va; East Liverpool, O., and Youngs-
town, o.
After entering the bank, forcing the
cashier and his assistant into a vault,
and scooping up $4,000 in currency,
the men ran from the building and
jumped into an automobile. Albert
Kaylor a coal company employe, and
Harry Lacey, seeing the men flee,
started in pursuit and came upon the
robbers when their automobile broke
down on a steep hill a mile from
town. Neither Kaylor nor Lacey was
armed and the robbers, drawing their
weapons shot Kaylor in the left arm
and stole the automobile in which the
two had followed them.
Two miles farther down the road
the second car used by the robbers
was stalled and they held up John A
Davis Of South Fork, who was driving
by, and took his automobile. The or
iginal car used by the robbers was
stolen a short time before in Clymer,
Indiana county.
According to Fred Buck, cashier of
the bank, and his assistant, Rem
brandt Adams, two of the robbers en-
tered the bank when there was no
customers within, and asked for
change for a SO bill While Buck
was changing the money, he was COW
ered with a shot gun. He and Adams
were backed into the vault and mo-
ment later the other three men en-
tered the building. The leader of the
gang was dressed in a soldiers uni
form. After gathering up the money
on the counter the robbers hed. No
shots were fired in the bank.
