A typical politician, when he comes
to the parting of the ways, goes both
ways.
The trouble with politics is that
there are too many politicians who
are plumb crazy.
1t used to be transforms that broke
up political meetings. Now it is the
static.
If the democrats could cast as
many ballots at the polls as they do
at conventions-good night, g. o. p.

TWO MAKE SENSATIONAL
 ESCAPE FROM CHESHIRE
Stanley Dobruck Of This City and Frank Datellio Elude Reforma-
 tory Guards

Stanley Dobruck of this city and Frank Datellio, two inmates of the Cheshire Reformatory, made sensa- tional escape from one of the work gangs yesterday afternoon about 2 o'clock, and guards at the institution and police in nearby cities and towns were unsuccessful in experimenting them last night.
 Both men were assigned for the past few weeks to a painting gang and were working on one of the reforma- tory buildings outside the big fence. Unnoticed by the guard and instrrc- tor, the two crept to a second story window and dropped to the ground and sped away. Their absence was noted by the guard and the alarm was given. Patrols were out all night searching the woods, but the two were not located and it is thought that they were picked up and given a ride by passing autoist. Dobruck had 20 days to serve to complete his sen- tence.

SAY LOEB ADMITS HE
 KILLED YOUNG FRANKS
Chicago Newspaper Pub- fishes Story of Alleged
 Confession

Chicago, July 19.-Richard Loeb awaiting trial with Nathan Leopold on charges of kidnapping and staying Robert Franks, has admitted that il was he who actually struck the blow killing their victim, says the Chicago Herald and Examiner today. The blow was struck with chisel wrapped with tape and Leopold drove the au- tomobile in which they were riding at the time.
 The youths, milionaires' sons and university graduate students, in their first confession told the stame story except that each accused the other of striking the fatal blow. Loeb, the newspaper says, made the additional confession after learning the penalty may be the same for both regardless of which was the actual slayer.
 Stories that attorneys for the boys plan to spring a surprise when the preliminary motions are heard Mon- day before Judge Cayerly has caused States Attorney Grove to hold secret conferences with his staff ami the alienists who will assist the prosecu- tion. Attorney Clarence Darrow, chief of the defense counsel, has indicated he will not make the customary mo- tion to quash the indictments.
 Aid of the police and sheriff's forces has been asked by Judge Cavery to regulate the thousands expected to seek admission to the courtroom for the preliminary hearing.
 Press boxes, to accommodate news paper and magazine representatives, are being fitted up and facilities for prompt transmission of the proceed ings by telegraph and telephone in stalled.
 A proposal by Chicago newspaper to radiocast the proceedings has brought over 4,000 replies to a ref erendum submitted on the question by the newspapers to its readers. Three hundred more persons express ed opposition to the idea than the favoring it.
 A resolution condemning the at tempt was passed at the Despaines Methodist camp meeting, in session here.

HOPE ABOUT GONE BUT
 SEARCH IS CONTINUED Every Effort Being Made
 to Find Seven Children Lost in Sound

Bridgeport, July ia,--Although
 hope of finding seven children whc set ont in a canoe from st. Mary's by
 tho Sea Thursday afternoon, alive
 has been practically abandoned by
 their parents and upwards Of 200 searehers, the hunt for them contin. ued with unabated zeal today.
 Two army airplanes from Mineola field. under direction of Captain liar ry Drayton. first aero squadron. who will pilot one of them, were promised 10 join the search, according to John Sousa, who solicited their aid. Sousa, summer resident at Fairfield Beach, has taken general charge of the search.
 The canoe in which the children set out on the rough sea was recovered yesterday afternoon near Middle ground light, a point midway between here and Port Jefferson, l.. l. It was brought to this city by the tug John Glen, of the Bridgeport Towing Co. and was identified by the owner. George w. Mills. Seats in the canoe were in position and this led to the belief that the children might have been picked up and the shell aban- doned, but failure for more than 20 hours since finding of the canoe to hear from them has removed hope of this being true.
 Rumors of telegram from Florence Benson, Is oldest member of the party and of the finding of body off Penfield reef, proved upon investiga- ton to be without foundation.
