carrying the guard with them as far
as Poughkeepsie, where they dropped
him.
The fugitives are John Hawkins,
John Coffee, Maurice Curtis and
Frank N. James.
In some way unknown to officials
at the hospital, the men secured a
revolver, which they used in covering
the watchman, before he was bound
and gagged to prevent his giving an
alarm.
The escape was no discovered un-
til two hours after the men left the
hospital, the first investigation being
made when the watchman failed to
make his usual rounds.

ing. The game. was between the
Americus High and Vinon High. the
final score being IA in the locals
favor
When the game started off. and up
until the fourth inning, things point
ed to a 90 game, but whes Americus
got in bat in the last part of the
fourth innings, things began to hap
pen right and left Stukes got to first
on an error. Reed was walked. Then
FinIeylgit up. He knocked a pop-fy
to the infeld and of course every
body thought he was out, but fate
wouldn't have that way. The second
baseman and the short-stop both ran
after it and collided, much to the
disgust of the Union Hi bunch. Fin
ley got to first and Stukes crossed
home plate, going six per.
This play Seemed to make the visi-
tors rather downhearted. The next
man up was Baldwin, who knocked
a hot grounder that was fumbled,
and although he was caught at first,
both Finley and Reed romped in
home
From then on things began to
take on life Both teams began to
tighten down and doing spectators
began to take motive. In the very
next inning the visitors succeeded in
trying to score. 1t is rather doubt
lessful whether the locals would have
won or not f it hadn't been for our
dauntless young hurler Kenson
Finley, who walked only one man
while, striking out nineteen of his
opponents.
Good playing for the home team
was also pulled off by Jap Parker at
second base, who made three fourths
Of the assistants, besides catching
one or two Ays. Kenson Finley
Knocked the only three gagger of
the game, although Ty Polled one
out that looked Ike homer, but he
cut second to far to suit the UNI

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Governor Bone's first message to an Alaska Lesis- lature delivered yest6rday and printed in full in The Empire presents, in temperate and judicial language
 fair and illuminnig review of the situation of the Territorial Government and the of the Terri tory and offers constructive suggestions for the future message should be read by all the people,
 The Governor in reviewing the situation, says Alaska has lost in population since the First Legsla convened here ten years ago but has made sub stantial progress in development and stability, and that is true He was well within the facts when he declared that we have withstood the shock to industries and development resulting from the war and again making progress toward prosperity
 The praise fer the Territorial school system and efficient administration of government under the law of the Territory deserved.
 However, tho striking points of the Governors message his endorsement not Of the principle in yoved solution of the fisheries problem but necessity to meet emergency of the fisheries recently creeted in the interest of the pres- ervation of the fisheries supply his that if the Legislature will prepare code that will be fair to all concerned and tho fish supply it will receive the support Of the Administration and his declaration in favor of the extension of the wers of the Territorial Government. In all of these things the Governor is absolutely sound
 The suggestion that that government which Is simplest and which has least complex legislation and not too many laws is the best goyel that the Legislature should take 10 heart Too many laws and restrictions and much governmental machinery handieaps a people who are striy- ing to develop commonwealth.

Weeks Alaska Visit.
Seattle Times.

Seattle Times)
 While visits of Federal officials do occasion much interest in Alaska the trip next of Secretary of War John w. Weeks and members of the Appropriations Subeommttees Military Affairs of beth House and Senate will command wide attention in the Northand The visitors will inspect just military reservation, Fort William II. Seward, fIaines, that is the only place where there is an Army post but they will be mportuned to go to all parts of the Territory to learn the need for trans portation faeites-roads, tras railways and steam boats.
 The Secretary and the lawmakers who will compose his party have jurisdiction tine matters that quire the largest share of the Congressional funds leted to Alaska. On the opinion of the visitors will depend the extent of Aaskas early development. By withholding money required for extension and main tenance of means of transportation, the officials would retard the Terrory's progress Aside from fisheries Alaska's greatest wealth is in the Interior. And most of it is from disturbance because of the ex- cessive cost of transportation.
 To make the treasures of the North accessible, the government has constructed many roads and trails, built railway that when supplied with feeders will serve an area of more than 100000 square miles, and has arranged for the operation of steamboats on the Panama and Lower Yukon Rivers. The investment is heavy. Yet it is not commensurate with the vast riches that Alaska has yielded the nation.
 Plans of the Federal Road Commission. which is under the War Department and which has control of all transportation facilities, call for $1,000 an nually for ten years. The is little enough It would care for maintenance of present roads and trails, and with new construction, would insure a comprehensive system the the decade period In addition to the road and trail funds indefinite but comparatively small amounts will be necessary in the next two or three years to deficits of the gov ernment railway but these losses H is expected will be overcome on completion of feeder roads trails and a few short rail branches.
 Virtually all the thirty-seven Federal boards and bureaus that administer, usually in wretched fash lon, the affairs of Alaska send representatives or committees at government expense the North land every summer The visitors file reports of their obervations, but except in instances the only benefit of such journeys is the pleasure afforded the travellers and indeed, in Larly every that all that is intended.
 The Weeks party promises to be exception to the rule. In any event. for the immediate future it will determine Alaska's welfare
